The 14 best cheap eats in Port Saint Joe

The food was really awesome. Had the steak sandwich and their salad with Cajun shrimp. The steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. Loved the outdoor seating area. Unfortunately, the service was poor. We were promptly seated by the host. It wasn't really busy. Took 15 minutes to be greeted by a server. We had to go find one. Once she put our orders in, the food came out quickly. We didn't see her again until we went hunting for her to pay our check. That part was very disappointing, but I'll be back for that steak sandwich!

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was at Krazyfish Grille! We started with the Jamaican jerk wings and the Goat cheese balls, both were great! The goat cheese balls were exceptionally phenomenal and paired perfectly with the pepper jelly. Our server said the pepper jelly is made in house! For my meal, I had the chicken tenders and fries. My husband also had the chicken tenders but with fried okra instead. The tenders were a great size and very flavorful! The honey mustard wasn’t my favorite but the ranch was delicious! The drinks were also very good and the service was great. We will definitely be back.

Loved loved loved this place. Sat at the outdoor bar and chatted it up with the bartender who used to live in the town over from me in TN. Food was great and atmosphere super fun. Corn hole, electric decor, bright colors, live music. Would definitely eat here again. The grouper sandwich was delicious and the local KrazyFish lager was yummy!

Came in for lunch on a Saturday and was seated right away on a group of 5. Little kids had the 🍔 and chicken fingers. Both were devoured. Big kid gnawed on some coconut shrimp with orange chutney on a bed of spring greens. She had no problem finishing her’s either. My wife and I both had the grouper sandwich which was so fresh we swear it came out out of the water the same morning! Mine was Cajun with a dab o’ tartar sauce on it. Spacious enough. Parking could get tricky. Sit outside under cover and let the sea breeze in your hair (plus the portable fans). Service was never in question with Frankie (just ask for her section and kick back). Ample beer and drink specials. My wife said the Kiss me on the Beach was spot on.

We loved the Krazyfish Grille! We arrived at 8:25 and were concerned about time since they closed at 9pm. The hostess was very kind and seated us swiftly. We sat in the patio area where there were fans blowing to keep customers cooled off. Shout out to our waiter John—he was FABULOUS -super friendly and helpful about the area. The St. Joe Rita was a super tasty margarita! We thoroughly enjoyed our one pound of peel and eat shrimp with gouda grits. We also split the Baja tacos with blackened mahi. Everything was very fresh! Live music will be on the weekend and we may try and come back before we leave town. So glad this was our first stop at Port St. Joe!!

We were on vacation at port st. Joe and was looking for a good place to eat and stumbled on Krazyfish. At first glance it was really busy and appeared to be a bit of a tourist trap. The food was pretty good but overall was just average along with the service. I probably wouldn’t go back in the future. The music was very loud and the porch was insanely hot - it was almost impossible to carry a conversation. The food was reasonably priced though. We got the Baja tacos and shrimp platter. The shrimp platter was good but the tacos were very average. The wait was around 45 mins and it was pretty accurate to what they told it would be.

Mostly outdoor seating. We got there during a shift change, so we had to wait a bit to be helped, but once our server got to us, she was very attentive and friendly. I had a grouper sandwich with fries and rice. The ride didn’t taste like anything, but everything else was tasty. I had a Providenciales rum runner, and my daughter had blueberry lemonade mocktail, and they were excellent.

Yes and absolutely yes! We would be back if we didn’t live 6 hours away. Definitely visit, it is real pizza with real ingredients! It was busy but worth the wait. The wait staff was quick, efficient and checked in often. We both ordered pizzas and split a ceasar salad. They are not kidding about house bread, once it’s gone it’s gone so get there early, we had wanted to try it. They are small on the inside but make it work for bigger parties. They seemed to do an incredible to-go business too. Pizza is wood fired so has great flavor. They were generous with toppings and sauce. You really wanted to eat the crust because of the fire flavor. So good! 10/10

Tried Joe Mama’s for the first time and it lived up to the hype. We grabbed two wood-fired pies and a chicken Caesar salad to go, and everything hit the spot! The crust was flavorful, the toppings generous, and the salad was super fresh (and big enough to share). What really stood out was the staff, super friendly, welcoming, and customer-focused. Even though we did takeout, they still made sure we felt taken care of. The place has a cozy, laid-back vibe with a fun patio bar and colorful lights, definitely a place we’d like to dine in next time. Pro tip: This spot gets busy, so plan accordingly if you’re dining in. Have you been here? What’s your favorite pie? Let’s swap recommendations!

Will be back! The pizza was so tasty and the Bruschetta was so delicious. Will be coming back with our family! Loved the dog friendly atmosphere! Our waiter was so friendly and made our experience a pleasure (it was our first time to eat here)! The Bloody Mary was mouth watering! Can’t wait until we go back!

Solid 5 stars for our visit. Staff was so welcoming when we entered. Shoutout to Donna, our server, who didn’t miss a thing and looked after us like we’re regular customers and this was our first visit. The bruschetta and chicken meatballs were so good, the tomato sauce was very fresh tasting. We really enjoyed the tomato relish to spread on bruschetta (the toasted bread was AMAZING!!). Our pizza was very very good. Best pizza since moving to Florida over three years ago. We had access to very good pizza in Seattle area and today’s visit to Joe Mamma’s was no different. Very very tasty, the dough so good and the sausage tasted homemade. The carmelized onions were perfection. Look forward to returning next year on our annual pilgrimage to the area.

Absolutely fantastic place to eat, great atmosphere. The pizza was delicious!! Can't wait to eat there again the next time we come!!

The goat cheese appetizer was so good! The house salad was as well, the house made balsamic dressing they toss it in is so tasty. The pizzas are good, just not your traditional kind of pizzas. The wings were loved by all. Others in the party loved the Mac n cheese and the calzone. Our server was fabulous- so kind and prompt.

Excellent pizza with a great wood-fired crust. Delicious wood oven roasted wings with such a unique flavor. Definitely love to eat there when in town. Wish the service was more welcoming, though they're nice enough once they notice you're there.

Whenever in St Joe we stop here and never disappointed. My wife excited about her perfect meal of St Joe plate, terumusu coffee. Mine chopped salad. We love no plastic stuff!

This was my first time visiting Port St. Joe and I was walking downtown and thought I’d give this spot a try. I enjoyed the home feeling of the restaurant with the decorations and build style when I came in , it gave a very welcoming atmosphere! I ordered the Three Cheese Penne and Caesar Salad. Both of those items were delicious! The cheeses this restaurant use are unparalleled! However, I wasn’t fully satisfied with my service. The waiter didn’t come by but only to order the food and around check time. He also wasn’t very friendly as well but more quiet and reserved. I wanted to ask questions but didn’t feel comfortable which I didn’t like. Other than the service improvement, I enjoyed the experience.

Nice restaurant, good ambiance, prime location downtown shopping area, friendly staff, dish has good presentation, but foods need some adjustment! Mussels sauce is very soupy with cold bread not toasty nor crispy. Chimichurri Steak nice tender meat and sauce aromatic homemade lack on spices and meat not warm and potato and onion are too sweet. Steak sandwich came with 2 dips which were watery. All elements are there, but missing a little something.

Great spot for a date night! Had quite a long wait and was seated outside (So it was hot) but that's no fault of the restaurant. The food was great! We enjoyed a Ceasar Salad and bread as an appetizer, my husband tried their St. Joe Mule which was unique and yummy, and we got the Paella and Shrimp Alfredo for our entrees. The food was very good and my husband said the Paella was the best he's had. SO much protein and seafood! Especially for the price.

We've eaten here many times over the years. Our most recent visit was the end of Sept. We noticed they offered a ribeye special. The wife and I decided to have the special without asking the price. The meal arrived with a subprime ribeye steak, delicious new potatoes and spinach. Everything was great except the ribeye, the mediocre steak (think golden corral quality) wasn't what we expected at this restaurant. We had a few drinks, finished our meal and asked for the check from our friendly and funny server. I was shocked to see the special was $45 per meal. This was a $20 meal all day. I'll be sure to ask the price of the special next time. Having said that, we've always had good meals and service here. This occasion was the exception.

Although we’ve only eaten-in once (we usually get to go) it is our favorite restaurant in PSJ and a must every single time we come in for the beach. Favorite dishes are any of the seafood with angel hair, and the spaghetti. I’ve never been excited about spaghetti but that stuff has some kind of magic to it. Just one caveat: stay away from the filet mignon. I’ve ordered it twice and both times it came out the most bland tasteless steak I’ve ever had. Lesson learned! Stick with the seafood and/or spaghetti. Their seafood pasta is so good that even the worst steak in the world—twice—can’t keep me from giving this place its five star due.

The just can't say enough about this restaurant. Loved the atmosphere but loved the food more! We actually came here twice in 2 days and the dishes we had were fresh and full time of flavor. Great service to top it all off!

The Sand Dollar cafe is one of my favorite places to visit whenever we're in town! Delicious food & generous portions. Cafeteria style so it's very quick & efficient. Amazing they've kept their prices so reasonable. It surely came at a cost. But one of their top priorities seems to be kindness & inclusion. You feel welcomed. It feels like a piece of home. $17 fed our family (2 toddlers, 2 adults). The entire staff is so friendly! Honestly, I would pay $17 just to be in the midst of such sweet humans. The food is a bonus! ♥️

Wow! Now that's some down home cooking like my Mama always made. Great Food, Service and yes a very fair price for a fabulous meal. They had a large variety of meats, sides cornbread/roll and drinks ready to make your plate. I will definitely stop on my next trip to the area. Thanks for reminding me how good meals used to be.

The folks here were super friendly and the food was exceptional. My bf got the shrimp and grits and said it was one of the best he's ever had. I don't like shrimp, but I tasted it, and it was delicious. I had the meatloaf and it was also delicious. All of our sides were very good as well. I definitely recommend this place, you'll be glad you came.

I have had the pleasure of visiting the Sand Dollar Cafe each of my three visits to the area over the last few years. Sand Dollar is such a unique place with delicious food, friendly staff, and very interesting decor! It is obvious that the chef puts his heart and soul into the "South in your Mouth" food! My partner and I talked about how it's like the chef is cooking seven (or more!) Thanksgiving meals every day. The owners clearly care about creating delicious food and creating a welcoming, homey atmosphere. I love that the food is ready and hot when you get there, and I also like that they serve it to you so there aren't tons of people serving themselves (like a buffet). Thank you for your amazing restaurant and best wishes for continued success! Port St. Joe is lucky to have you!

This breakfast buffet was DELICIOUS! The special omelet of the day was Spinach and Ham and was top notch. Tomato basil gravy on the biscuit was surprisingly great. My spouse had the cheesy eggs, andouille and biscuit with sausage gravy and loved it! The ONLY downside was that the eating room was air conditioned but the rest of the restaurant was not. The service combined with the food made up for it though. We would definitely eat here again!

Excellent breakfast spot! Hashbrown casserole & shrimp n grits were some of the best I’ve ever eaten!

The house salsa told us right away that we were going to like this place. Drinks were great, food was fantastic! We'll be back!

Seated fast. They did have a few families that were being served. Salsa is so-so, had the Peppers Fajitas. The Fajitas are not one of those mixes where you pay 20 bucks and get mostly peppers and onions. They bring the meat here, which is good. Although I could definitely say I've had better, I've also had a lot worse. At the price point not bad, good job Peppers. I had a long hair in the second basket of chips they brought. Not super angry about that, I understand that they leave the chips under heat lamps in the back. Things happen. The issue was quickly fixed. Lol, this is a Mexican restaurant but they know how to do French fries very well. Nice portions, probably going to leave with leftovers. Also, note that this restaurant stays open later than most other places in this area. That is one reason I'm giving the overall score 4 stars instead of 3. Past 9 pm even in the on season, most places are closing except some of the ice cream shops.

Awesome food and even better drinks 🍹 Large selection of food and drinks. Service was excellent and the food quality was top notch.

Food was excellent! We sat at the bar and ordered drinks first. Bartender set us up immediately with chips and salsa. He also made recommendations on food to order. We ordered what he recommended and it was great. He also recommended the house tequila - and I thought it was great and bought a bottle. We will be back for sure.

Pepper’s – Port St. Joe, FL (Panhandle) This is the flagship location of a local Tex-Mex chain that’s been around since 2005, and it delivers exactly the kind of fun, casual atmosphere you want after a day at the beach. The covered outdoor patio is spacious and breezy — ideal for groups, families, and anyone chasing margaritas in flip-flops. One of Pepper’s more unique features is their private-label tequila, imported from NOM 1455 (Fábrica de Tequila El Nacimiento, S.A. de C.V.) in Jalisco. You won’t spot any well-known names on the registry, but the house blanco and reposado are both quite smooth. They’re asking $50 for a bottle of the blanco — that’s a pass from me, but a flight of three pours for $25 is worth it if you’re curious. The añejo, though, is heavy on the vanilla from oak aging — I’d skip it. The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh and plentiful — classic, no-frills style with a mild heat. I had the carne asada street tacos, which were nicely done: soft corn tortillas, tender meat, and a generous topping of chopped cilantro and onion, served with a solid tomatillo salsa on the side. The rice and beans deserve a shout-out too — warm, well-seasoned, and much better than the usual filler you get at places like this. Rachel ordered the taco salad, which is apparently a Pepper’s legend — the WiFi password is literally “tacosalad.” Hers came in a crisp tortilla bowl loaded with lettuce, tomato, cheese, and sour cream — a crunchy, creamy combo that she happily devoured.

Peppers Mexican grill & bar is a very popular place and a place that I've gone to many times, but there's a few things that are disappointing. Believe me, the food has never disappointed me once but the prices and service could be better. What I think is ridiculous is the drink prices. Four dollars seems pricey for a drink that's not water. Even the chicken, cheese, and fries turns out to be 16 to 18 dollars. One thing that really gets on my nerves is the tourists. Not to be a Karen, but they do pick tourists over locals, you can tell because tourists usually wear dressy clothing and not many locals wear flashy clothes unless it's a birthday party. The last thing is the language barrier. When I went to eat there with friends, I saw someone I knew at a table leave without his wallet. Before I could I could say anything one of the waiters took the wallet and when I went to confront him he said, "No English" and walked away. Other than a few misunderstandings and high prices, I say it's a good place to eat out and watch the latest sports if you're a fan.

Glorious delicious queso the best Mexican restaurant in all of the town. This place makes Mexican great again. God bless America and God bless this glorious Mexican food.

Our first time here left with mixed feelings. The concept and the venue are both great. Love the location in the “downtown” area of Port St Joe. The hostess who greeted and seated us was unenthusiastic and almost seemed bothered to show us to our table. She asked if we’d been there before, then handed us menus and briefly mumbled some details about the drink self-service. (Didn’t offer any info about pricing…which isn’t evident anywhere, and didn’t explain where to find the cups for the self-serve beer taps) Our server finally arrived and also had few words, took our order and was never seen again. Another server brought our raw oyster appetizer, then later our meals. Oysters were great, and actually probably the highlight. The meals were tasty but average, at best. Portion sizes were small (my wife had a fish sandwich and the fish didn’t even cover the bun). One of my sides was “steamed broccoli” but is was an unappealing olive color and was very soggy. In summary, would probably still return but only for the raw bar and beers.

One of my dishes was five star and one was one star so I averaged the two. The peel and eat shrimp are superb!! Five stars!! The grilled mahi was as poor as any I’ve had. It was literally two fingers wide and not much longer and cooked way too much! They hid it under the bread to serve it and when I moved the bread I literally couldn’t believe they would send that plate out. We also had raw oysters and they were fine. We spent over $100 with two people just on food so I expected somewhat better as far as the entree. If you go, though, order the peel and eat shrimp!!

We had an amazing time coming here. It originally wasn't even where we intended to go, but, boy we are glad we did. Our server, Heather, was super friendly. She did an amazing job. Very prompt and informative. The oysters were delicious! As was everything else we ordered. We will definitely be coming back here in the future.

We visited Uptown this past weekend for dinner. It was very busy but since we had a party of 2 we were able to sit at the bar fairly quickly. The dining area was not very big, so it was a bit loud inside. We got the surf and turf and the shrimp tacos. The food was delicious and we were highly satisfied with our meals. I would eat here again.

Hostess seating us was super nice and welcoming. Our server was outstanding! The real standout of our meal was the baked oysters. Very very good! Husband’s grouper dinner was just okay. The corn on cob was just prefrozen. The side house salad was fresh and just the right size. The gumbo was a huge disappointment. Supposedly, gumbo was shrimp and okra. But it had been cooked so long, the shrimp and okra were nonexistent. Very thick too and tasteless. Not what I’m accustomed too as the gold standard for gumbo is Pappadeaux in Houston👍🏻❤️. Our server was kind enough to to remove from bill but it was my fault as I didn’t ask enough questions about the consistency. So as an afterthought, I ordered the appetizer grilled shrimp skewer. The shrimp was grilled perfectly. We’d return just have the oysters again.

Family of 5 sat quickly for Monday night dinner. Parking was ample. The space inside is rather small but the location in downtown PSJ is nice if you want to walk off dinner afterwards. Pricing is steep but with the sautéed 🦀 claws and dozen baked 🦪 on board that was to be expected. Those may have been the best of the dinner we had. Kids had the chicken basket, grilled cheese and grouper sandwich. Portions were fine for them as well as on the Mahi sandwich for me. We must admit, the seafood must've come out of the Gulf that day! Drinks are self-serve from a cooler each? Maybe because of the small footprint of the business? Our server Morgan was attentive and we never had to track her down for anything. The 3% convenience fee tacked on for credit card use, I personally hate, just don't take that form of payment. We'd go back to try the other fresh seafood offerings.

We visited Uptown Raw Bar on Saturday night, when we arrived it wasn't very busy, we were sat and waited about 5-10 before we were waited on. The self-service beverage was ok, they did offer a wide selection of non-alcoholic drinks. We choose tea with cane sugar and nice surprise. We placed our order and then the placed filled up, the 2 servers were definitely overwhelmed with every table filled within 10 minutes. We received our salads ceaser and a house. Plenty of dressing. Salads were fresh! Then we received our entrees crab stuffed shrimp and Mahi blacked with potatoes and corn. Potatoes were plain tasting but hot, Mahi was ok felt like it was missing something. The Crab stuff shrimp was definitely the star of the show. Highly recommend the shrimp. Overall a nice dinning experience. I know there specialties are the oysters, but neither one of us like oysters.

This might have been the best dinner experience I’ve ever had. From the time I spoke to the hostess and said a party of three until the time we were sat with our drinks AND food literally 12 minutes had passed. Absolutely incredible especially for the fact that it was 6:45pm on a Saturday night in July. Our drinks had tons of ice so they stayed cold, a server was very knowledgeable of the menu and was very timely with refills, to go boxes, and the check. And most importantly the food itself was delicious. The salsa for the chips is very sweet and a solid texture. I would definitely recommend and we will be back!

We've been wanting to eat here and finally made it happen. We were not disappointed! Its dog friendly and there's seating indoors, outside covered and outside uncovered. The staff is amazing and the food was fantastic. Be sure to ask for the hot, hot, hot sauce.😉

Definitely a great place to eat! Indoors or out, their service is spot on. We chose to sit outdoors since it wasn’t too hot yet. Our waiter was extremely nice and friendly. Salsa is fresh and not spicy (thank goodness). Shrimp tacos were yummy, but a little too spicy for me. I traded with my boyfriend, he had combo meat bowl, which was good too. Oh yes, draft beer is cold. 🫶🏻

Cute restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was a little slow but not horrible as it was busy. Our server was very nice. Unlimited chips and salsa was awesome and food was good. We would definitely go back.

We tried Quatro Locos Tacos and Cantina on a whim and absolutely loved it. My boyfriend needed to go again before our visit and ended! We got the Baja Fish Tacos and Governor Shrimp Tacos. Both were accompanied by sides of a small salad, rice, and beans. Both plates were delicious - the perfect balance of salty and sweetness, the proteins were cooked to perfection. We couldn’t wait to get back to our place to dig in, had to take a bite in the car! Would 10/10 recommend a visit.

We eat here at least twice a week and love the variety of entree options! This is a family owned restaurant where the staff treats you like you are part of the family! Exceptional customer service, warm & friendly atmosphere and the best authentic Mexican Food I have ever eaten. The cultural influence infused into each dish is a culinary delight. In addition to the vast menu options, they offer a daily special that is always worth trying. It is usually a dish that is labor intensive and can't be added to the regular menu because they are labor intensive. For example, hand made Tamales is one of my favorite daily specials!!! The open kitchen is neat, I love seeing the chef's masterfully preparing our food. The cuisine is authentic, fresh and we always leave with full hearts and full bellies!! The decor and artwork is colorful and fun. Some of my favorites: The Governors Shrimp Taco's! Grilled Shrimp, cheese, bacon, avocado & Chipotle on a corn tortilla. The bacon pairs beautifully and takes this taco to the next level. Street Tacos; Cochinita Tacos Especiales Baja Fish Taco's Cochinita Pibil Seafood Burrito California Burrito Arrachera Chimichangas Shrimp A La Diabla We love to dine on the patio and catch the bay breezes 🐶🐕 Fur babies are invited to the patio!

I hate to leave negative reviews but dang this place missed the mark on nearly every level and left us incredibly disappointed after an almost 3 hour meal. Our waitress was so sweet, very kind and warm, but I think it was over a half hour before we were even able to order food. Probably another hour before we had our food and what we got was honestly… quite awful. Chewy steak and stale tortillas, not hot or even warm. Bland white rice. Everything topped with bagged shredded cheese. It seemed our waitress was doing her absolute best but she was so busy that everything just took forever. She was behind the bar making drinks for quite some time so she was also on bartender duty, maybe just understaffed? There appears to be a decent amount of good restaurants in Port St Joe, I would avoid this one like the plague.

This is NOT bar food! It is amazing quality full of flavor, worthy of an expensive restaurant! Highly recommend the blackened shrimp and grits, broccoli florets (soaked in garlic butter), and fried crab claws. If you want a refreshing cocktail that’s not too sweet, go for the cucumber cocktail with salt on the rim. Yum!

We enjoyed our lunch at the Brickwall. The staff was friendly and the food was great. They have a great menu full of variety! My husband ordered the fried grouper fingers w/cheese grits and onion rings. He did think the rings could have been cooked a bit longer. I ordered the Cuban w/sweet potato fries (waffle style). The Cuban was a nice size and full of flavor. The sweet potato fries were seasoned with sugar/cinnamon and complimented Cuban perfectly. I recommend eating here.

Ordered online, arrived to pickup order and the bartender informed me their wifi had been down for two hours. She quickly reviewed my receipt, wrote down the order and ran it to the kitchen to prepare. Quoted 10-15 min. I drove to piggly wiggly to pick up something, came back inside restaurant about 20 min later, told it would be another 4 min for them to bag it up, waited at bar for probably another 10-15 min before food was ready. Bartender did everything she could, not her fault but overall a very disappointing experience. When we got the food home, it was late and sat outside on patio to eat. Noticed my burger was a bit pink, brought it inside to heat it up and in the light noticed it was pretty much raw. Hoping I don’t get sick. The rest of the family enjoyed their meal.

This place is amazing. The piece of grouper they give you is bigger than the bun they put it on.... and it's actually grouper. The staff are friendly, homemade desserts, good food, definitely worth giving a try and come back for more. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Food is amazing. Pics are mahi tacos and butterball burger… 10/10. I like the tacos with siracha aoli on the side. The waffle sweet potato fries and broccoli are sooooo good, too. We get the sweet potato fries without cinnamon sugar. The server wasn’t great but the food made up for it! We went for lunch during family vacation.

Great drinks and food. Our waitress was adorable and other staff was very polite. Had the jalopeno margarita, loaded nachos, and Mac n cheese with bbq! Delicious. My daughter had the Mahi fish tacos and they were huge portions of fish in her taco!! So good!

It’s consistently good food! The service this time was awful though…. Only seen the waiter twice, never got drinks refilled… even when he asked “how is everything?” He continued to walk away without at least pretending to hear a response…

We spent the past week in Port St. Joe on vacation. When I say just go ahead and skip these expensive dinner choices and go here, I mean it. We spent over $200 the night before for mediocre at best food from one of the most highly rated “fancy” places in town. The best food we had was right in the heart of downtown. Immediately this place had a warm feel, nice smooth music, a play area for my daughter, and most importantly a warm welcome from the staff. The baked Brie & calamari was divine, I immediately noticed the love and admiration put into the food here. I had the salmon dinner special and the others had pasta dishes. The salad served out first had the most delicious dressing I have ever had tossed into fresh mixed greens. This is real chef curated love infused food. I couldn’t say enough good things about any of it, you’re missing out if you skip this hidden gem.

The atmosphere is artsy, fun, and welcoming, making it the perfect place to meet up with friends. The food is fantastic—especially the burgers, which are always cooked to perfection. The salad dressing is one-of-a-kind and absolutely delicious. I’m obsessed! On top of that, the staff provides excellent, friendly service every time.

Natasha and her husband do an amazing job across the board! The food is always fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and very very tasty! My wife Hailey and I love this place for both lunch and dinner. I have to say if you are a burger fan their burgers are the BEST in Port Saint Joe. The truffle burger is so AMAZING! Plus their French fries are on point.

Dirty floor n walls. Waitress talked with one table 20 minutes while one table waited to order n another waited to pay the check. We had to interrupt her to get her to attend to others who required service. Only 3 tables while we were there. As for the food, this is NOT garden food. This is a burger joint that the owner thinks that having a burger for a logo justifies the misleading name. It has very limited ‘garden’ items on the menu n the two tried at our table were not very good w very small portions. While the chef wants to push they ‘use real silverware’ as a diversion for the misleading name, don’t get fooled. The veggie items are an after thought. At the forefront, one can see by ALL the games n kiddie section that the whole restaurant was also an afterthought. I’ve never seen so many games interspersed t/o the restaurant space with a few tables scattered in between.

We love it here! As a Port St Joe local, this is one of our favorite places to eat. The chef gives so much care into every dish, and Natasha always treats us like family. It’s a place of great food and great company!

Just had the veggie salad, with their unique, unforgettable, house made,delicious dressing! Got it to go and 30 mins later, upon arriving home, it was Fresh and delicious! Will take a picture next time, till then, just picture the perfect balance of quinoa, lentils, garbonzo beans ,lettuce and more! Highly recommend!

Local here. One of my favorite places to eat and celebrate! Make sure you call for a reservation if at night. The Frenchy burger is my favorite! And their salad dressing,…I wish they would bottle and sell it!!!! So delicious and unique!

Great pizza! And service was great. I called. They said it would be ready in 15 and it was. And it was Delicious. My personal favorite proportion of cheese to sauce. Got the primavera and meat one. Ate them too fast to take a pic. Will order the rice balls next time. They looked amazing.

This is one of the few places that is open past 9 pm in Port St. Joe - open til 10 pm. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere but be aware this is mainly a takeout place so seating is limited if you want to eat in. We had Buffalo wings, bacon ranch pizza, Buffalo chicken pizza and calzone. The food is very good overall. They have 8” and 16” calzones and we ordered a 8”. It was so big that we took it back to our condo and ate it next day for lunch (4 of us) and still had leftover. It is very good though. Only thing is this is a NY style pizza joint so their slice pizza is already cooked and they just reheat them when you order. So, chicken on our Buffalo chicken pizza seemed little dry by the time I got to my slice. Their Buffalo wings are very good and we went back and got them again.

Come for the pizza, stay for the bread pudding. Order ahead if you want whole (New York-style) pies. Sold by the slice pizza and filled rolls are heated in the oven. We had a buffalo chicken, pepperoni, and meat lovers. All were good. Slight downside is the drying of the pizza when heated. If you are into sweets, opt for the bread pudding. Flavors vary. Today we got one of the last salted caramel cheesecake. Which was flavor #105!

Our first time here was OK. The pizza are BIG! so be ready. We ordered most everything on the menu, just to try things out. Our thin crust pizza was Ok, not great. Not sure if it was the extra stuff we added. My pepperoni half was better than the half with extra stuff. Our friends reported the thick crust pizza was pretty tasty. We will try again and see if we get different results. It’s a small place and in PSJ one of the few real pizza joints. In season plan ahead. Great service!

The pizza here was the epitome of what good New York style pizza is! Peter adds his own unique flavor to every slice of pie that they make. I spoke with both Peter and Bob and it’s the kind of hospitality they showed me and my family- that makes you want to come back and visit again and again! Thank you guys for everything- great pizza-great service- a must if your in the Mexico Beach, Port St. Joe Area. You won’t be disappointed whether you order by the slice or by the pie! I’m coming back for the “Cuban” pizza.

Check your ovens, frying oil, or the freezer your chicken is kept in.That stuff in my mother and sisters pastas tasted like the smell of wet paint.Large portions, high prices, bad food. Calzone wasn’t even cooked all the way through. Save your money, if you want pizza get Hungry Howies if you want.

This was our first time here. Place was extremely clean and staff was very friendly. Pizza was excellent and very flavorful.

We were leaving after vacation in Port St Joe and decided to grab food before heading out. We ordered on the app which has a tracking system to tell you when your food is being prepped and when it is ready. Although we did not stay there to eat the place was spacious and clean. The cashier was super friendly when I went in to pick up the order. We got a large pepperoni and two 10” oven baked subs - one Italian and the other deluxe. Oh and don’t forget they have a free flavor your crust offer. We just went with garlic but they have several options to choose from. The pizza was good although there was a lot of grease because of the cupped pepperoni. We blotted it off with paper towels. The baked subs were a hit for us. They were literally stuffed and big enough to feed 2 or more people. The lettuce and tomato is optional and if you get it the put on side in a bowl. I would say we were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and would for sure go again when we are in the area.

Visiting while on vacation again this year. There were 5 kids (seemingly employees since they were in uniforms) sitting in the lobby doing nothing and talking loud. Lady at the front barely opened her mouth to greet us. No one had on gloves or hair coverings. Food was much better the last time we came. Not impressed. Management needs to do better.

I called and placed an order they didn’t put it in, they had to take my order again at the counter. Then they got my order wrong after waiting 30 minute for them to make my order again. Terrible experience. Poor customer service. Waste of time and money. Go somewhere else.

We stopped for a quick sandwich lunch an got a pleasant surprise. The employees were very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. Their large sandwich is enough for 2 adults. Plenty of free parking available and conveniently located on the main road in Port St Joe.

We visited this store while on spring break this week. This was my first time trying howies. I just wanna say how delicious it was . My whole family was so impressed! Thanks you so much for the awesome experience

Great place to order pizza at last minute for a great price, staff is friendly and quick. Amazing place to order out. Not the best to eat in

I called and placed a to go order 15 mins before I arrived. Once I arrived, one of the employees came outside screaming at seemingly her kids out in front of the store.I went up to the counter to pay and receive my order, and the clerk was too busy looking out front and what the kids were doing, so I had to tell her 3 times who I was and what I ordered. After all this, I waited in the lobby for 20 more mins, finally went up to the counter, asked for my food, and it was ready for quite some time because it was cold when I got it. Based on the previous reviews, this has been an issue that management is aware of and not correcting. I'm very disappointed.

Very busy need more staff. The dine in lobby was very nasty every table was dirty as well as the floor. The beverage station needed to be stocked and was dirty as well. The bathroom was very very dirty with water all over the floor. The manager was sitting in a booth doing work on a computer. I thought this was very very unprofessional. I think you can do better.

Used my mobile app in the drive through. Ordered a strawberry cream pie. I get to the windows and the lady says would I want an apple instead? I said I was really wanting that one so no. I asked if I could just get 3 more chocolate chip instead (I ordered 3 as well). The lady asks what I assumed was the manager and he said no they would have to give me a refund. Crazy part my pie cost more. Horrible customer service! You couldn't pay me to eat at this place again...

Went thru Druve thru. Asked for 2 senior coffees and a butter biscuit. $7.00 . Coffee must have been a week old. So strong you could smell it and was cold. Spend $7 at a better restaurant.

Never thought I’d leave a 1 star on a big chain that should have a solid system all around the franchise. But this one, is the worst McDonald’s I’ve been to out of the whole USA. Starting with the wait, expect minimum 20 minutes. It is not fast food. We placed an online order thinking it may counter react the other reviews of long wait. We were very wrong. Ordered few items, received wrong quantity, and McMuffin with just egg. Just egg? Wouldn’t your brain automatically place the Canadian bacon even without thinking? No condiments we asked for were in it, and everything was just terrible. I truly hope the franchise owners wake up. Because you literally have no system in place, and all your workers have no idea how to work in this place. 0/5. Not 1/5.

Ordered a 20pc nuggets and they came out deflated and dry. Attendant at the drive through just handed me a bag no eye contact and did say a thing. Eat here at your own risk.

For a McDonald's, they move the drive thru along pretty well. The food is a consistent quality that you'd expect here.

They seem to have a very consistent problem with overcooking food, it's happened to me with breakfast and the regular menu probably close to five times.

Had the gumbo and the shrimp were smaller than my pinkie, come to think of it.... I've never seen shrimp that small in my life & curious as to how someone peeled them? The hush puppies were probably frozen as they were pretty much flavorless. The coleslaw was drowning in dressing and my husband's fried grouper sandwich earned a B- rating. I will give them credit for the gumbo roux as it had nice flavor and their shrimp dip was phenomenal!

We ate here 3 times during our recent stay nearby. Family likes fried shrimp and theirs were fantastic. Second time I had shrimp and grouper and it was so good my boys had grouper the last time. One son and I always had sweet potato fries, which were awesome. Others had regular fries and said they were also fantastic. No frills, but tasty food.

I will preface this by saying that they have a lot of good food, but today’s experience wasn’t the best. Experience: I called to put in an order for 3 low country boils around 5:00pm. When I called, the person who picked up said “hold on” and put the phone down. I could hear random quiet talking but no real busyness in the background. After about 10 minutes of waiting on the phone I went ahead and drove up there. 18 minutes on hold when I walked in and there were 3 people in the whole store/restaurant; no one at the counter. Food: The food was…not bad. The corn had definitely been sitting steaming all day; shriveled up. The potatoes, on the other hand, weren’t cooked enough. The shrimp was decent. The butter tasted like popcorn butter.

Friendly and fast. We picked a time to pick up our shrimp and they were awesome. And they even had melted butter and other stuff in the bag. Shrimp were in a aluminum container that kept them hot until we were ready to eat.

Absolutely fantastic. Great people, great food, great experience. You won't regret eating here. Hello from NW Arkansas.

Great lunch menu. Hidden gem for lunch and fresh seafood. We had their fried shrimp with cheese grits, and it was awesome! Full basket of shrimp that was seasoned perfect! They also have great smash burger for the no seafood folks.

This place is amazing! The seafood is so fresh and delicious. We have to stop by at least once while we are visiting the cape. Thank you!

Outstanding experience! You want to come back to this place again and again. They even let me try gumbo before we buy it. So we bought chilly also. All tasty! Very friendly team. This store has everything of everything, including positive vibes. Defenatly go!

We visit the Cape twice a year, and Scallop Cove is our go-to place! From draft beer, ice cream, delicious food, and more, they're your one stop shop! The bait shop also has it all, including some of the best fishing leaders by Bloodline Tackle! We always feel welcomed when we walk in the door, we feel like family here! 10/10, highly recommend!

My family has been coming to cape for 8 years I always wait year around for a certain ice cream but this year the place I get it no longer was open when the owner of scallop cove found that out they called and ordered a tub of it for me they are the sweetest all of their staff is amazing and the lunch and breakfast is amazing as well make time to stop in and see such amazing people!!!

This is our favorite stop every time we visit the Cape! I can tell you the thing that sets this place apart from the rest are the employees! At both the general store as well as the bait shop. We were able to meet the owner this last trip and he was so nice as well! Definitely our favorite stop for everything we need on the Cape!

Can't say enough good things about Scallop Cove store and the boat rental. Super impressed with how great of a staff they have. Hats off to owner. You are doing a hell of a job. Other small business owners could learn a lot from you.

Great store!! Amazing food. Great customer service and the friendliest staff. Must stop in if you are out on Cape San Blas 😊 This store also has all beach and home essentials you need for your beach stay.

This is a very cool place to come and get supplies while on Cape San Blas. Extremely friendly staff, beers on tap, great food, and good times!
