Pompano Beach is a beautiful town in southern Florida between Miami and Palm Beach. This city is gorgeous, so if you’re passing through, you should definitely stop and enjoy yourself.

Known as the “Heart of the Gold Coast,” Pompano Beach has incredible beaches, a waterfront, a coral reef, many shipwrecks, and other dive spots. But there are additional reasons to go to this city just north of Fort Lauderdale and south of Delray Beach.

Like other South Florida spots, Pompano Beach’s best feature is its variety. Its food scene is bursting with talent from all over the world, especially at long-standing restaurants like Cafe Maxx, and new restaurants like Le Vie Lebanese, where guests can savor the best flavors.

You can find any type of food you want throughout this area, no matter what you’re craving.

From seafood places to steakhouses and everywhere in between, here are our 16 must-visit restaurants in Pompano Beach, Florida!

16. Dandee Donut Factory

1900 E Atlantic Blvd, Pompano Beach, FL | Bakeries, American, Diner | Under $10 | Monday to Sunday 6:00 am – 6:00 am (next day)

To start this list is the Dandee Donut Factory. It’s an excellent breakfast place located on Atlantic Boulevard, but you can conveniently go at pretty much any time.

As a short history, Dandee Donut Factory opened in the early 1980s, when two friends quit their jobs in the corporate world to become the owners of this food chain. Today, the chain is still strong and serving loyal customers who have become like family over the years.

Visitors worldwide know that a trip to South Florida isn’t complete without a stop at The Dandee Donut Factory. Now that the company’s leadership team has been refreshed and re-energized, some loyal customers are happy to see Dandees popping up in their towns.

Dandee is unique because it has 50 different kinds of donuts. Dandee Donuts are baked in batches 24 hours a day, so you can be sure that every donut sold is always delicious and fresh.

But Dandee Donut Factory offers more than tasty donuts and fresh coffee. They serve homemade breakfasts, lunches, and dinners 24 hours daily to fulfill any hunger.

There are several different kinds of donuts, but what we like best are the fried, fluffy ones with glaze on top. On the other hand, the regular old-fashioned ones are pretty good, too, if you like cake-style donuts.

Yyou can’t go wrong with other pastries here if you want to try something other than donuts. Lastly, do not leave without sampling the coffee beverages – they’re all delicious!

15. J Mark’s Restaurant

1490 NE 23rd St, Pompano Beach, FL | American, Bar, Vegetarian Friendly | $11 – $30 | Monday to Thursday 11:00 am – 10:00 pm, Friday and Saturday 11:00 am – 11:00 pm, Sunday 11:00 am – 11:00 pm        

J. Mark’s is the perfect place to eat for business, pleasure, or maybe both.

In July 2007, J. Mark’s opened its doors and quickly became a local favorite spot. Here, you can have fun and eat to your heart’s content in a friendly and calm setting. 

As for the food, this restaurant proudly serves only the best and freshest foods with the best ingredients. 

The menu has a lot of great choices, like appetizers made for sharing, fresh salads, hearty pasta, excellent sandwiches, and hand-patted burgers, along with fresh seafood or Certified Angus Beef steaks cut by an in-house butcher.

Also, J. Mark’s Restaurant has a large selection of bottled and on-tap beers, and a lengthy wine list for glass and bottle options. The menu also has a variety of tasty martinis, margaritas, mojitos, and other specialty drinks, and the best part is each has reasonable prices.

Opt for the shrimp scampi if you’re a seafood lover. This dish is fantastic, and there is a lot of it – plenty for leftovers! The shrimp are crisp and flavorful, and the angel hair pasta is terrific.

Crab cakes are a great option, too. The dish has lots of fresh crabs that will make your mouth water whenever you eat one.

This is definitely one of our go-to restaurants in Pompano Beach for fresh seafood and a classy atmosphere!

14. Houston’s

2821 E Atlantic Blvd, Pompano Beach, FL | American, Vegetarian Friendly, Vegan Options | $31 – $60 | Monday and Thursday 11:30 am – 9:30 pm, Friday and Saturday 11:30 am – 10:00 pm, Sunday 11:30 am – 9:30 pm

Do you want to go upscale? Houston’s Restaurant in Pompano Beach has beautiful settings, friendly service, and good food. In short, if you eat here, expect a memorable time for a romantic date night.

Houston’s is on the Intracoastal Waterway. It has a large outdoor patio with a water view, a dining area with big windows, and the open kitchen is always busy.

Keep in mind that this restaurant prefers to host smaller, more intimate groups of two people. If there are no reservations for three or more people, you won’t be able to dine.

Also, reservations are only for the inside dining room. Patio tables are first come, first served basis.

The menu isn’t huge, but it does change with the seasons, so the dishes are always new and interesting. More so, the food is always delicious, no matter what day, time, or season!

The filet mignon is our favorite thing to eat here. It’s the best, and you must try it to understand why. Seriously: there’s not a better filet!

Smoked salmon is another option. It was a big piece of salmon filet that tasted only lightly smoked. The meat will melt in your mouth, which is like nothing else!

Try the rotisserie chicken salad and kale for dinner. It was big and filling, and like other dishes, it tasted great. Everything is always super fresh.

If you still have room for dessert, get the brownie and ice cream, which is excellent for sharing. It is a real treat!

13. Zuccarelli East

1340 N Federal Hwy, Pompano Beach, FL | Italian, Pizza, Vegetarian Friendly | $11 – $30 | Monday to Thursday 11:00 am – 10:00 pm, Friday and Saturday 11:00 am – 11:00 pm, Sunday 3:00 pm – 10:00 pm

Zuccarelli East is the place to go if you want to try authentic Italian food and pizza.

This restaurant on the Federal Highway has always been excellent. Part of its success comes from the great teamwork of everyone who works there, from the servers and bussers to the owner, Guliano.

Both inside and outside, it has a relaxed vibe. It’s a great spot to come with a large group.

As for the food, there is a lot to choose from on the menu at this restaurant. You can find pizza, calzone, soup, salad, and pasta. There are also main dishes with chicken and veal, hot and cold paninis, and sandwiches. There is also a menu for kids, which is a big plus!

Last time, we got the Lamb Chop Special, with coffee, salad, garlic bread, and lamb chops.

The Italian garlic bread, which had just come out of the oven, was golden brown and covered with warm garlic clumps and olive oil/butter. It’s definitely my favorite garlic bread!

Meanwhile, the outside of the very tender lamb chops was to perfection, and they came with mashed potatoes that had a gentle butter mushroom gravy on top.

12. The Rusty Hook Tavern

125 N Riverside Dr, Pompano Beach, FL | American, Bar, Seafood | $31 – $60 | Wednesday to Saturday 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm, Sunday 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Rusty Hook Tavern is a beachfront restaurant in Pompano Beach, Florida. It’s an excellent place for a date and is among the best spots to watch the sunset.

This restaurant has an unrivaled atmosphere, which is casual and great for hanging out with close friends. You can look over the marina and see boats and the Intracoastal waterways.

Rusty Hook Tavern’s menu has dishes that are made from scratch and are fresh. However, it also has a full speakeasy-style bar that allows you to try local beers, boutique wines, and craft cocktails.

For appetizers, you can get things like ahi tuna poke nachos with kimchi slaw, pork belly with spiced lentils and green papaya, and some vegetarian alternatives such as roasted buffalo cauliflower and charred portobello mushrooms.

We love the Moroccan lamb racks, steaks, and lobster pasta. There are also fish selections, which include 6 to 8 whole or filleted local fish and seafood like snapper, mahi, wahoo, corvina, and swordfish.

We shared the octopus, pork belly appetizer, and the Caribbean salad when we ate dinner here last.

11. Greek Taverna Ammos

2201 E Atlantic Blvd, Pompano Beach, FL | Mediterranean, Greek, Vegetarian Friendly | $11 – $30 | Monday to Thursday 11:30 am – 8:30 pm, Friday 11:30 am – 9:00 pm, Saturday 2:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Greek Taverna Ammos first opened with the idea of serving real Greek food. This restaurant will keep that successful idea, as it has been called one of the best Greek restaurants in South Florida.

When you eat here, you can expect fresh, healthy food. 

The menu gets inspiration from the diet of Mediterranean, so each dish is made with virgin olive oil, herbs, and spices from Greece. Also, they don’t use preservatives or additives, and since the meals have same-day preparation, the suppliers bring in fresh ingredients daily.

We found this gem when we are strolling around Pompano Beach. We ordered things like Avgolemeno soup and a Greek salad with salmon.

Before the food came, they gave us hot, freshly toasted pita with olive and herb butter, which was delicious.

When our food came, everything was delicious. The soup was full of flavors, but the salad was the highlight.

The classic salad has thin slices of significant portions of juicy tomatoes, green peppers, and cucumbers. There were also red onions and Kalamata olives. On top is a considerable feta cheese! As for the salmon, it, too, was cooked perfectly and had good seasoning.

This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Pompano Beach for authentically healthy food.

10. Shishka Lebanese Grill

1901 N Federal Hwy UNIT 109, Pompano Beach, FL | Lebanese, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern | $11 – $30 | Tuesday to Thursday 11:00 am – 9:00 pm, Friday and Saturday 11:00 am – 10:00 pm, Sunday 12:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Shishka Lebanese Grill, opened by brothers Walid and Gus Zabib in 2011, is another must-visit restaurant. It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere and serves various delicious Lebanese dishes.

The brothers are from Beirut in Lebanon, where they grew up in a large family of restaurant owners. When they got to the United States, they discovered that there were just a few Middle Eastern restaurants, and almost none were that good.

From there, the Zabib family decided to start a restaurant where people could get good home-cooked Lebanese food like Mom used to make.

Today, the restaurant serves lunch and dinner every day, and the menu is full of things like appetizers, soups, salads, unique entrées, and more, so there’s something for everyone.

One of our favorite things about this place is the chicken shawarma. This dish is thinly sliced chicken breast that has been marinated and slowly roasted. It is with a garlic sauce from Lebanon.

Other great options are the baba ghanouj, a veggie combo with hummus, tabbouleh, falafel, grape leaves, and fatayer, and the marinated giant shrimp with a unique Mediterranean flavoring.

In addition to the food, this place also hosts some events. You can watch live belly dancing on Saturday nights, which adds to the cultural experience. This is definitely one of the coolest restaurants in Pompano Beach if you want something more than just the typical seafood meal!

9. La Perla di Pompano

420 N Federal Hwy, Pompano Beach, FL | Italian, Vegetarian Friendly, Vegan Options | $11 – $30 | Tuesday to Saturday

The next restaurant is La Perla di Pompano, another great Italian restaurant in the area.

After selling their prolific Italian restaurant Il Posto in Hollywood, Manuela and Lino opened this restaurant in November 2018. They are now excited to serve the people in and around Pompano Beach.

La Perla is known for its fresh pasta, desserts, and bread; all made in-house daily. Its chefs have been trained in Europe, so they can change any dish to accommodate dietary requirements and allergies.

We got the carpaccio appetizer the last time we visited, and it was great. It was among the best pieces of raw beef we ever had.

The “table service” Bruschetta is also excellent, and we dare you to eat just one and try not to want to order more.

Plus, this restaurant serves squid ink pasta. It is the place to try it for the first time. And you will be surprised by how tasty it is!

Add a dessert and a sip of wine to the end of your meal. You will be happy and full when you leave. 

You can find La Perla di Pompano on North Federal Highway, next to the Pompano Community Park.

8. Checkers Old Munchen

2209 E Atlantic Blvd, Pompano Beach, FL | German, European, Central European | $11 – $30 | Monday to Thursday 7:00 am – 9:00 pm, Friday and Saturday 7:00 am – 10:00 pm, Sunday 7:00 am – 9:00 pm

You might not have expected German food in Pompano Beach, but Checkers Old Munchen has that and much more. So, it’s the place to go if you want a few beers and some brats.

Checkers Old Munchen is a restaurant serving authentic German food since 1982. The restaurant and its atmosphere will make you feel like you’re in a different place and time with its warmth and friendliness.

The walls here are of weathered wood, and the shelves are with authentic German beer mugs and a fantastic collection of German beer. And you can also try food and beer from all over Germany in this cozy place.

We always come here when we wish to relax with a beer and some German food. We love the schnitzel; however, the menu is so extensive that we usually try something different every time we go.

You will not be disappointed with crowd-pleasers like potato pancakes with applesauce or sour cream, onion and apple soup topped with provolone cheese, or any kind of schnitzel delicately breaded cutlets of chicken, pork, or veal sautéed in lemon butter and covered in brown gravy. 

Each dish is sure to be good, and we recommend trying a different one each time you visit!

On the other hand, the rich Black Forest cake or the classic apple strudel are terrific choices for sweets.

With everything it offers, this restaurant is indeed a little piece of Germany in Pompano Beach.

7. The Foundry

2781 E Atlantic Blvd, Pompano Beach, FL | American, Bar, Vegetarian Friendly | $11 – $30 | Monday to Thursday 11:30 am – 10:00 pm, Friday and Saturday 11:30 am – 11:00 pm, Sunday 11:00 am – 10:00 pm

The Foundry has a raw bar and delicious foods cooked over open flames. The space is not only beautiful, but it also has a lot of history. In fact, it is the one restaurant in Florida that will show you how America was a hundred years ago, before the Industrial Revolution, versus how it is now.

When you walk into the dining room, you’ll see a ceiling of wood from a Kentucky tobacco barn from 1902, a metal moving door from Philadelphia from 1880, and the famous picture of New York City workers, Lunch Atop a Skyscraper, which was more than 80 years ago.

You can eat a fresh stack of tuna, salmon, and avocado sushi under old-fashioned shag lamps that give off an orange glow. Also, you can get lobster or short rib on a flatbread, Mexican street corn pizza, or meatballs with polenta.

There are many great options here, but the short-rib flatbread and eggplant meatballs are among our favorites. The short rib flatbread was tasty and had a crisp crust, while the meatballs were delectable and sumptuous for sharing.

You can’t go wrong with the Mister Fish Seafood Bowl if you like seafood. Fresh shrimp, calamari, clams, mussels, and white fish were in a tasty broth with garlic toast.

Everything is great. We highly recommend this location – it’s one of our favorite restaurants in Pompano Beach for both the ambiance and the food!

Beach House is the kind of restaurant where you should go with friends and family, order as many dishes as possible, try different inventive cocktails, and stay longer than you planned to enjoy the live music and rooftop seating with views of the ocean.

The decor of this restaurant at the Pompano Beach Fishing Pier gets inspiration from the surf culture worldwide. It has a mix of Polynesian paddles and wooden tables, chairs, and barstools, where people gather to enjoy South Florida’s bounty.

Not only is the decor popular, but so are the dishes. You can choose from different burgers daily, like the vegetarian OhMyGoodness, which has mushrooms, red pepper jalapeno jam, and arugula tacos, like the Costa Rican shrimp taco, which has slaw and fresh grilled mango on top.

As you can see, this restaurant has a lot of exciting things to try. So, if you spent all day fishing on the nearby pier and didn’t catch anything, this restaurant is the perfect place to come for some seafood and drinks to make you feel better.

This Pompano Beach restaurant is tiny but comfortable. On one side is a bar with a few tables below a thatched tiki roof. On the other side is the main dining room.

You will enjoy eating here because it looks like a tropical island with a mural of the Hillsboro Lighthouse on one wall.

On the menu, there are items like soups, salads, sandwiches called “cutters,” seafood, chicken, roti, meat, and curries. There are also specials posted on boards all over the restaurant.

One of our favorites here is the 1/2 Jamaican jerk chicken, which comes with either pigeon peas and rice or fried plantains as a side dish.

Meanwhile, the shrimp stuffed with seafood and vegetables and then baked with bacon on top and the vegetarian curry on a bed of pigeon peas and rice are also great options.

We recommend asking your waitress about seasonal wing sauces; any taste will be a hit. If you don’t like wings, they have loaded fries, Cantonese cuisine, street tacos, and carne asada fries.

Rosemary Beach, one of the planned New Urbanist communities on 30A, is a treasure trove of architecture with styles from Charleston, the West Indies, New Orleans, and St. Augustine, among other places.

Wooden boardwalks wind through the town’s beautiful architecture, often leading to hidden amenities like playgrounds, fountains that bubble, tennis courts, or one cosmopolitan swimming pool. And with plenty of zoos, aquariums, museums, and even hot springs nearby, there isn’t a lack of things to do. But a trip here isn’t complete until you try some of the restaurants in the area. 

There are plenty of places to eat in Rosemary Beach, which is 107 acres and has 2,500 feet of beautiful white sand beach. There’s really a cuisine for everyone here!

And the best part is that many of these Rosemary Beach restaurants are right on the beach. You can spend a day at the beach relaxing while eating delicious food and sipping drinks from the bar. 

What’s The Vibe Like?

The Rosemary Beach restaurant vibe is a little different. You won’t find tons of bars or rowdy restaurants for a night out. Because the area is pretty residential, you’re more likely to see cafes and breakfast/lunch spots.

However, we’ve added every single bar and restaurant with beach views we can think of. So whether you’re a local or are just visiting, hopefully, you’ll find something you enjoy on this list!

So without further ado, here are our favorite 14 Rosemary Beach restaurants that you don’t want to miss! 

14. Amavida Coffee Roasters

104 N Barrett Square #1a, Rosemary Beach, FL | Quick Bites, American, Cafe | $2 – $10 | Monday to Sunday 6:30 am – 7:00 pm

Amavida Coffee Roasters is a place you don’t want to miss if you’re looking for a hearty breakfast or brunch in Rosemary Beach.

This restaurant opened in 2004. Since then, it has grown and has four independent cafes, including this one in Rosemary Beach, where it roasts and serves some of the best coffee in Florida.

Even more, this coffee shop’s decor and style get inspiration from the people who live nearby. But its commitment to making great coffee stays the same.

It has dedicated baristas making local Rosemary Beach flavored coffees, pulling espresso shots, serving lattes, and talking to customers for over a decade.

Types of coffee are, of course, a big deal here. This restaurant has all the usual coffee drinks, like cappuccinos, lattes, cold brews, and espressos. And then there’s a whole bunch of super cool flavors that you’ll want to try.

But you can also get different kinds of breakfast pastries and sandwiches here. It offers things like bacon and cheese biscuits, quiche, fruit cream cheese tart, ham and Gruyère croissant, chocolate croissant, and muffins, to name a few.

We recommend you try their special coffee flavor, a latte with vanilla, cinnamon, and honey. It was rich and smooth. At the same time, the mocha latte, ham-and-Gruyère croissant, fruit tart, and chocolate croissant are also excellent choices. 

Everything tastes good, and the best part is that you can enjoy a lot for a low price.

Don’t leave without checking the merchandise area. It offers bagged blends of roasted coffee and a lot of 30A stuff, like clothes, accessories, cups, stickers, and more.

13. Cowgirl Kitchen

54 Main St, Rosemary Beach, FL | American, Southwestern, Bar | $11 – $30 | Monday to Sunday 8:00 am – 10:00 pm

The Cowgirl Kitchen is another good place to eat in the Rosemary Beach area. It is near the busy main street and is a favorite place in the Rosemary Beach area with locals.

Cowgirl Kitchen’s owner, Nikki Nikkerson, opened it in 2005 with the idea that people could relax and enjoy the southwest’s spicy flavors and the coast’s easygoing vibes.  

On the breakfast menu, you can find pancakes, egg scrambles, and creative dishes like waffles ranchero, with two eggs on a waffle and a colorful tomato salsa on top. But since breakfast is available until 2:00 pm, even late risers can get a breakfast sandwich at the restaurant. 

There are also Southern classics like biscuits, gravy, and cheese grits, and the praline bacon is the perfect addition to any dish. Their famous Bloody Mary or a refreshing Mimosa are must-tries too!

If you’re going to Cowgirl Kitchen for lunch or dinner, you must try at least one of their tacos. The kitchen makes some great Drunken Shrimp tacos with seafood from the Gulf that is still fresh. 

On the other hand, the Grouper sandwich and the Beachy Shrimp roll are always famous, and heavy hitters like the house-made pizzas, meatloaf, and pulled pork plates always hit the spot.

You can also chill out with a cold IPA or frosé and watch a game on the TVs behind the bar. Or, you can take your drink to the beach.

Overall, this is a great local spot to grab any meal of the day! While it doesn’t have beach views, the food is incredible, making it one of our go-tos.

12. CK Feed & Supply

32461, 31 Main St, Rosemary Beach, FL | Southwestern, Beer, Wine & Spirits | $10 – $40 | 10:00 am – 6:00 pm

Cowgirl Kitchen’s Feed and Supply is on Rosemary Beach’s Main Street, just two blocks from the beach. It’s an easy place to stop on your way to the beach for a bite!

Keep in mind: this isn’t a typical restaurant but is more of a grocery store/deli with really upscale options. It’s the best place to get a bunch of small bites that you can eat on the beach!

Looking around the Feed and Supply shop will make your stomach rumble and your mouth water even if you’re not hungry. You can wander through the aisles and pick a fine bottle of wine from their large selection. You can also take some time to look at the different kinds of artisan cheese.

More so, Feed and Supply has a large selection of dips and salads. If you want to try something from down south, try the spicy Monterey Jack Salsa, traditional Guacamole, Five Layer Fiesta Dip, or Cowgirl Queso, which is with luscious, silky melted white cheese and green chiles.

Do you want to enjoy the fresh seafood near the ocean? Try the Avocado Shrimp Ceviche, the Artichoke Shrimp Dip, or the Smoked Tuna Dip. No matter what you’re in the mood for, this place has it. Most dips come in pints or half-pints, so you can get a lot of one or try many different ones.

Also available are Veggie Enchiladas, Mexican Lasagna, and Longhorn Mac & Cheese. All casseroles are ready to eat and come in small, medium, or large sizes.

This place even has delicious breakfast casseroles that you must order ahead of time, but if you want a great breakfast for the entire group, it’s worth calling ahead!

11. La Crema Tapas & Chocolate

38 Main St, Rosemary Beach, FL | Spanish, Vegetarian Friendly, Vegan Options | $11 – $30 | Monday to Sunday 11:00 am – 9:00 pm

La Crema gives Rosemary Beach a taste of Spain.

This bright, cozy café is on Main Street in Rosemary Beach, Florida. It serves tiny Spanish plates and chocolate treats, making it an excellent place for friends to hang out, eat, and enjoy great flavors.

This restaurant, which is at the eastern end of 30A, gives each guest an elegant and fun experience. This cafe is cozy and romantic, with warm browns and creams as its primary colors. 

La Crema focuses on tapas and chocolate, two of the best things in life.

The idea for La Crema Tapa & Chocolate Restaurant came from Barcelona’s amazing tapas and chocolate cafes, as well as from the Spanish love of good food and the way they live.

We recommend going to this restaurant with a company to enjoy the simple, rustic food and delicious wine pairings.

You can try the Seafood Paella, which has lobster tails, shrimp, scallops, mussels, clams, chorizo, and more, or choose the popular Serrano Wrapped Figs, which are in white wine and honey goat cheese.

Then, add a tasty dessert to take your meal to the next level. The espresso cream cookie sandwich, throwback chocolate fondue, and seasonal fruit tart are all great dessert options. You can also pair your meal with a nice glass of wine!

10. Summer Kitchen Cafe

78 Main St, Rosemary Beach, FL | American, Café, Vegetarian Friendly | $11 – $30 | Monday and Tuesday 7:30 am – 3:00 pm, Wednesday 7:30 am – 3:30 pm, Thursday to Sunday 7:30 am – 3:00 pm

When it opened in 1999, the Summer Kitchen was Rosemary Beach’s first restaurant and commercial business.

The restaurant started in a small way in the little red shack, just a walk-up window serving the first few people who lived, worked, and built at Rosemary Beach.

And for more than 17 years, locals have been meeting each other when they come to the door, sometimes on intent and sometimes by chance.

The cozy interior and atmosphere give this place a feeling of warmth and community that reminds of old neighborhoods. And with its hearty food, this place will surely provide comfortable dining.

In terms of food, the restaurant has one of the most extensive menus on this list.

Breakfast options include French Toast, granola and yogurt, fresh fruit, egg rolls, and omelets. At lunch, you can get amazing salads, beef from Tall Pines Farm, a chicken sandwich from Springer Mountain, and grilled fish from the area.

The restaurant also serves fresh greens from local farms. And its seasonal dinner has a full-service bar too. There are also things for kids, which is excellent if you have them with you.

Here, our group enjoyed a nice lunch. We were in a corner inside. However, the bar seats looked comfortable, and there was also seating outside.

We started with truffle fries, which were tasty and had a lot of cheese. Everyone liked it, and we highly suggest it. The shrimp Caesar salad is also a must, and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it too!

9. Amigos 30A Mexican Kitchen

12805 Highway 98 East, Suite R 101, Rosemary Beach, FL | Mexican | $11 – $35 | Monday to Sunday 11:00 am – 9:00 pm

If you want to try Mexican food in Rosemary Beach, you don’t have to go elsewhere.

A picture of two puppies will greet you when you walk into Amigos. Those are the Corchis family dogs, Nala and Ginger. The phrase “Friends, family, and full bellies” is written just below the two dogs wearing sombreros which summarizes the experience in this place.

The Corchis family recently opened Amigos. For a good reason, it is now one of the best restaurants in the area.

It has a great atmosphere that makes eating here a memorable experience. The spotless white brick, wood-look flooring, black metal furniture, chrome accents, and friendly yellow leather banquette seating give it a modern feel.

The high ceilings and different Edison lights give it an aesthetic appeal. The open kitchen, with its lively laughter and busy cooks, softens the atmosphere, making it a good place for families, friends, and well-behaved dogs to hang out on the patio.

But don’t only look at the decor: the food in this restaurant is another reason why it is excellent.

We opted for the decadent chips with a great dip. If you make it spicy, you’ll find that the heat is round and the texture is smooth. 

The salsa with the chips was full of juicy tomatoes and sour lime. Plus, the chips were light, not greasy, and had the right amount of seasoning, making it go well with the cheese dip and salsa. And of course, all of the mains were just as amazing. This is some seriously authentic food!

8. Crabby Steve’s Highpointe

10254 E County Hwy 30A, Rosemary Beach, FL | American, Bar, Seafood | $11 – $30 | Tuesday to Sunday 11:00 am – 6:30 pm

Getting to this next restaurant is half the fun, but Crabby Steve’s will surely be a blast!

Behind the High Pointe Resort in Seacrest Beach, Florida, Crabby Steve’s is a little-known restaurant right on the beach and has something for almost everyone. It is a mere 10-minute walk from Rosemary Beach.

Crabby Steve’s is an American/seafood restaurant that serves lunch and dinner. It has a full menu of tasty food, cold drinks, coastal cocktails, and a view that will make you want to stay even after your last bite of fish is gone.

This place is kid-friendly, has a full bar, outdoor seating with a view of the water, and serves food that even the locals are returning to eat frequently.

However, reaching this restaurant is one confusing part. It is just reachable by walking on the beach or, if you’re residing at Highpoint Resort, through the resort premises. You can’t drive right up to this restaurant on the coast and drop people off, but it’s well worth the trip once you get there.

We got crab cakes and pasta salad when we ate here last. Don’t miss the lobster roll and wings too! Both are delicious, and the flavors are as Florida as they can get. You can also use the full bar to take your drinks down the beach.

Of course, you can enjoy everything while looking out at a beautiful view! Crabby Steve’s is a real gem!

If you’re looking for a classic seafood joint with water views then this is one of the top restaurants in Rosemary Beach to check out.

Gallion’s Restaurant is yet another great place to eat in Rosemary Beach. It is an upscale restaurant and cocktail lounge that is easy to get to and is in the heart of Rosemary Beach on Scenic Highway 30A. 

It looks and feels like a beautiful steakhouse with a southern touch. Also, the wall art changes every couple of minutes, which is a huge catch.

The food experience is by sophisticated small plates, and the menu focuses on perfect coastal favorites. 

The bar and restaurant have a vibrant and varied selection of wines and spirits too, from the Buffalo Trace vintage selection to Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon.

When we come here for a meal, we start with the ceviche. It was delicious, and a thin slice of green plantain was on top. The scallops were perfection; they melted in our mouths. We can eat them all day long, to be honest.

We also love the crab cakes. And even though the 30-day dry-aged bone-in Ribeye is one of our favorite dinner entrees, it’s 20oz, so it’s easy for two people to share. It is a must-try and is with heavenly summer truffle potatoes.

The carrot cake is an excellent choice for dessert, and it’s easy for four people to share. It was well-balanced, not too sweet, and moist. It was with caramel sprinkles and caramel popcorn.

To finish the night, you must try the Salty Kiss, a well-made drink. It’s an excellent choice for people who like espresso martinis but want to try something different.

Overall, this is our favorite upscale restaurant in Rosemary Beach for a fancy night out.

6. Big Bad Breakfast

10711 E County Hwy 30A, Rosemary Beach, FL | American, Vegetarian Friendly, Vegan Options | $11 – $30 | Monday to Sunday 7:00 am – 2:30 pm

Do you want to start your day right? Head towards Big Bad Breakfast Restaurant!

This restaurant does everything to show that breakfast is the day’s most important meal. It has healthy and hearty food that will fill you up and give you sufficient energy to do anything. 

And since this restaurant is only a few blocks from the water, you can use all that energy to spend the day at the beach.

So that everyone can try their favorite foods from childhood and beyond, the restaurant’s menu is vast and has many different things. 

It has traditional dishes like biscuits and gravy, crepes, and pancakes. You can also access creative dishes only available in this restaurant, like the famous breakfast crumble. When you want to grab and go, this meal will provide a flavor of buttermilk biscuits, grits, ham, and much more in every bite.

However, if you don’t know what to order, the Mother of All Biscuits is a safe choice. Big Bad Breakfast makes this excellent breakfast sandwich with their always-fresh black pepper buttermilk biscuits. 

Between each side are a thick slice of cheddar cheese and a crispy fried dill chicken breast. It’s on you if you want to use a lot of hot sauce, but we think you should.

Also, many great cocktails, wines, and beers are served that go well with food. The Mimosa, Bloody Mary, and Irish Coffee are the most popular. But you should also try the Honeysuckle Lemonade and the Pineapple Jalapeno Margarita. 

If you don’t want to drink alcohol, you can get iced coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice at the restaurant.

5. Playa Bowls

58 Main St, Rosemary Beach, FL | Coffee & Tea, Acai Bowls, Juice Bars & Smoothies | $11 – $30 | Monday to Sunday 8:00 am – 7:00 pm

Playa Bowls give you a taste of summer. And if you want fresh, healthy food, you simply must go here.

As a bit of background, surfers Abby Taylor and Rob Giuliani started the company. They get motivation from the food they eat on journeys to Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Nicaragua, Panama, California, and Hawaii.

What started with two blenders, a patio table, and a refrigerator has grown into over 150 stores, including this one in Rosemary Beach. It also has tens of thousands of employees and a mission to show people how to live in a healthy, sustainable way.

You can order bowls with acai, chia pudding, Pitaya, coconut, kale, banana, and oatmeal for a delicious meal. Fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, granola, dried berries, and nut butter serve as toppings.

Playa Bowls can also be gluten-free or vegan, and you can change them to fit a lot of different diets.

We stopped here recently and had a great lunch in the area. We got things like Aca & Pitaya bowls and Greens bowls.

Acai and Pitaya are both sweet and tasty. We recommend getting it for your kids if you have them.

On the other hand, the Greens bowl is an excellent mix with chia as the base. If you want to try a dish that isn’t too sweet, you can’t go wrong with this one.

The prices are fair, and the portions are good. And even when it’s busy, which it often is, the service is still quick, friendly, and well-organized.

Stop by this restaurant if you have time for a quick and healthy bite!

If you are wondering what to get, the scallops featuring wild mushroom and sweet pea risotto is the best appetizer here. The scallops were fantastic, soft, sweet, and had a beautiful, shiny, seared crust on the outside. The risotto was divine.

Snapper is an excellent main dish. It had a huge serving that was just right, and it was also juicy, flavorful, and had a thick, crunchy skin. It really won’t disappoint.

For dessert, the Oreo parfait will not let you down.

Based on our experience, you get what you pay in this establishment. Dining here will go beyond expectations for the food alone!

In addition to the food, there is a well-chosen selection of champagne, beer, and spirits, all of which are from the hand-carved mahogany bar at Havana Beach Bar, which is one of the main attractions. 

From the stylish Havana Rooftop Lounge, there is nothing better than sipping your favorite drink and watching a famous Rosemary Beach sunset.

We have ordered the duck, the garden salad, the quinoa bowl, and the egg nog crepe brûlée here. Every bite is made and served perfectly. Most importantly, each food tastes so good that you’ll want to order more.

If you dine here, we recommend getting a table on the outdoor Veranda or Rooftop. You’ll see the Gulf of Mexico and Main Street in all their majesty while eating great food.

This is one of our favorite beachside restaurants in Rosemary Beach! However, be prepared to pay for the delicious food.

The courtyard’s architecture gets inspiration from the lively atmosphere and musical history of New Orleans. Here, you can enjoy handcrafted cocktails and tiny bites in the lush garden while feeling a touch of sophistication. However, do note that the courtyard seating is first-come, first-served.

We recommend ordering spicy margaritas here first, which were the best ones we’ve ever had. You will also want to try the tapas and the shrimp of creamed corn. Amazingly, the corn had a Mole accent.

You can’t go wrong with the chard-octopus or scallops with pea risotto, either. The scallops and risotto were both delicious. And ceviche is the perfect way to end a great meal.

Overall, this is one of our absolute favorite Rosemary Beach restaurants! We love it here because it has a really beachy vibe with incredible views and seafood.

The most popular meal is the Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich. It has perfectly cooked thin slices of steak, mushrooms, onions, and peppers. This dish is among our go-to when we arrive in this spot, and we suggest trying it.

You should definitely try the Eggs Benedict if you’re more of a savory breakfast person. Your meal comes with a fine cup of coffee, and you can choose from several pastries or cookies to take away.

If you’re looking for a cute breakfast or lunch place with a delicious cup of coffee, then The Rookery is one of the top restaurants in Juneau, Alaska that you shouldn’t miss!

1061 Salmon Creek Ln, Juneau, AK | Quick Bites, American, Seafood | $36 – $49 | Monday to Sunday 11:00 am – 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Gold Creek Salmon Bake is different in many ways from the rest. The fact that it is a component of the Alaska Travel Adventures Tour makes it stand out.

It is among the most famous restaurants in Juneau, and it’s easy to see why. Gold Creek Salmon Bake serves an Alaskan feast where you can eat as much as you want.

After we went to Mendenhall Glacier, our bus took us to the Gold Creek Salmon Bake, where we started eating from their buffet.

Among the many foods in the buffet, we liked their Caesar salad of salmon bits, baked beans, & glazed salmon.

Take advantage of this one-of-a-kind experience!

9. Red Dog Saloon

278 S Franklin St, Juneau, AK | American, Bar, Pub | $10 – $25 | Monday 11:00 am – 10:00 pm, Tuesday to Sunday 9:00 am – 10:00 pm

When you think of Juneau, you can’t help but think of the Red Dog Saloon. This restaurant and bar have been open since the end of the nineteenth century when mining brought many people to the Klondike area.

Red Dog Saloon has been a part of Juneau’s restaurant and business scene for a long time, and it’s a great place to get a taste of the past. It has moved around a lot during its long and fascinating history and now sits by the cruise liner docks.

The Red Dog Saloon has many artifacts that show its long history. This place is understandably proud of its history, including furs, old guns, and old mining tools.

It’s the perfect place to stop and refuel after a lengthy day on the road. Why? It’s all about burgers, sandwiches, and cold beer.

The group stopped here for lunch because it seemed a better choice. The cruise ships in port make it a bit livelier during the day, but we got lucky and got a table right away.

During our visit, we had some Alaskan beer, which is hard to mess up, and it was nice and cold. As for the food, we started with a Caesar salad. The main dishes were a burger with fries and a Salmon Burger with potato salad. It all tasted good, just like the classic meal you’d expect. But really, we come here for the experience!

8. Seong’s Sushi Bar

740 W 9th St, Juneau, AK | Chinese, Japanese, Sushi | $11 – $30 | Monday to Friday 11:00 am – 2:00 pm and 4:30 pm – 8:00 pm, Saturday 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm

Do you crave an authentic sushi place right here in Juneau, Alaska? Or do you want to enjoy your food trip with Japanese sake and Alaskan beer? What more could you want? Seong’s Sushi bar is the place to go if you’re in the area and want to eat Asian, Japanese, or Chinese food.

Since more than 20 years ago, it has provided the Juneau, AK area with a vast selection of high-quality Chinese food and fantastic sushi.

The restaurant is close to the Federal Building on 9th Avenue in downtown Juneau. You can call and order food or come in and enjoy some great food. This bar also has great options for catering.

Test out The Hot Night Roll, which has tempura prawns, avocado, and their special sauce. It is a customer favorite. If you want more, try the S.O.B. Roll, which has tempura shrimp on top of salmon and tuna. It is the best sushi roll you can get with seafood.

We decided to get the Philadelphia roll with different salmon, cream cheese, and avocado levels. Then came the chicken with broccoli. This dish’s sauce is to die for, making for a highly delicious flavor.

It was a great place to eat. The service was excellent, and our charming young waiter was attentive. It is a great place to visit, different from the usual spots, with super fresh seafood!

7. V’s Cellar Door

222 Seward St, Juneau, AK | Mexican, Korean, Fusion | $11 – $30 | Monday to Friday 11:30 am – 9:00 pm, Saturday and Sunday 3:00 pm – 9:00 pm

V’s Cellar Door started in 2013. Before it became V’s Cellar Door, it was Olivia’s Mexican Restaurant, a Juneau landmark for 38 years. It has many of its home recipes and has added many new tasty things.

It is one of Juneau’s most creative and original restaurants. With its mix of Mexican and Korean comfort foods, this restaurant will leave you feeling full and wanting more.

This restaurant uses old Mexican recipes and adds flavors from many different cultures. The result is a delicious experience that is unlike anywhere else!

Typically, its dishes include rice bowls, salads, and fusion nachos.

Guy Fieri went here for an episode of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives, so you know it’s good. Stop in to eat after a long day of uncovering the ice field, which is both tiring and exciting.

Our plate had short ribs and Ahi nachos. The food all tasted good and lived up to the hype. They also have excellent craft beverages. If you want something sweet, the Chocolate Brûlée will not displease.

6. Pel’meni

2 Marine Way, Juneau, AK | Specialty Food Market, Fast Food, Russian | $5 – $10 | Monday to Thursday 11:30 am – 1:30 am (next day), Friday and Saturday 11:30 am – 3:30 am (next day), Sunday 11:30 am – 1:30 am (next day)

This restaurant is named after a popular food in Russia called Pel’meni. It is a thin layer of flour dough with vegetables and meat.

This eatery’s menu is so tiny that its sole thing is pelmeni. But the small menu at Pel’Meni keeps residents coming back again and again.

Why?

For a low price, you can get a massive chunk of the divine pastry pillows filled with beef or potatoes and topped with sour cream.

Some people in the area call this place a dive, but we call it humble. No matter what you call it, Pel’Mini is simple, letting their food taste shine through.

This place is a big deal in the area, and you’ll see why. Apart from the world-class Russian dumplings and reasonable prices, Pel’meni is a winner because it has a friendly atmosphere and staff and is open until late.

We had the potato dumplings, which had a fantastic flavor thanks to the different seasonings and spices. When you dip the dumplings in sour cream, they taste even better. This comfort food is delicious and comes in a good-sized serving. It’s great for late nights after the bar or a typical day.

In the background, there is also a record player that plays old songs. You can choose an album from the vinyl library and listen to your favorite tunes while you eat delicious food.

This is definitely one of our favorite restaurants in Juneau if you’re looking for a local, old-world feel.

5. Tracy’s King Crab Shack

432 S Franklin St, Juneau, AK | Quick Bites, Seafood, Gluten Free Options | $20 – $125 | Monday to Sunday 10:30 am – 8:30 pm

Tracy’s King Crab Shack has some of the yummiest Alaskan seafood in town. What’s best? It’s brought right to your door!

This walk-up and take-out restaurant is right on the boardwalk and is among the best places to get a quick bite in Juneau. 

Tracy’s King Crab Shack has made a significant mark on Juneau’s food scene for a place that has only been open for less than ten years.

The restaurant started because the owners loved crabs, sports, and people. The staff is a close-knit collection of individuals who love sports and are friendly and welcoming.

Apart from hot crab legs with butter from nearby sources, the menu has crab bisque, crab cakes, crab rolls, and seafood starters. So, Tracy’s is the place for crab lovers who want a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy the seafood from the neighboring Alaskan sea.

There was no line when we visited this restaurant. It does have a tiny room inside and a small covered patio, if you want to eat there.

The Red King Crab was on our table’s Crab Shack Combo and an extra bowl of crab bisque because we didn’t know how to share. 

One thing is for sure; you’ll have delicious and fresh crab at this restaurant. After a nice dip in the butter, it will almost melt in your mouth. Try the crab cakes and bisque for added amazement in your overwhelming food experience.

If you seek the best crab legs in Juneau, you should go to this restaurant. After dining, you will know why this place is famous to everyone in the area.

Tracy’s is one of the most iconic restaurants in Juneau for a reason! Tracy’s should be your first stop if you’re looking for super fresh seafood.

4. El Zarape

1961 Anka St, Juneau, AK | Mexican, Latin, Spanish | $11 – $30 | Tuesday to Friday 10:30 am – 5:00 pm, Saturday 10:30 am – 4:00 pm

El Zarape is the place to go if you want Mexican food in the middle of Juneau, Alaska. This small Mexican restaurant that moved to Alaska in 2007 is renowned for great food.

It is in the vicinity of Lemon Creek and is sure to be a unique place to eat.  This hidden gem is worth your time and money on Mexican food. It’s a hole in the wall, but that’s how most of the best places are.

Gloria Orozco, who was born and raised in Zacapu, Michoacan, is the one who makes authentic Mexican food here. Her partner from Guadalajara, Jalisco, and Gloria’s two kids, Melissa and Ernesto, also run the restaurant.

We highly recommend their Carne Asada tacos with Red Sauce, although we feel you won’t be disappointed with anything on the menu. The Green Sauce is tasty, but the Red Sauce is spicier and tastes different whenever available. The same goes for chips and salsa.

3. Zerelda’s Bistro

9106 Mendenhall Mall Rd Suite B, Juneau, AK | International, Fusion, Vegetarian Friendly | $11 – $30 | Tuesday to Saturday 12:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Zerelda’s Bistro, established in 2016,  serves a mix of cultural food fusion and Southern BBQ made with good ingredients and local products.

Abby LaForce, the owner of Zerelda’s, was for a long time Juneau’s best caterer. Her Bistro serves tasty, big plates that mix Asian fusion and comfy southern styles with Alaskan recipes.

Apart from the mix of Asian and Southern food, espresso, beer, and wine are also available in this restaurant.

Zeralda’s is a great place to grab lunch or a bite before a hike or checking out a local National Park because it is healthy, amiable, bright, and cozy. We sampled the coconut curry and poke bowl, which were both perfect for the day trip.

If you prefer barbeque for dinner,  they sell barbecue rubs so you can enjoy the flavor of Zerelda’s when you get home.

There are also daily specials to look out for here as well. If you like ramen, Thursday is the best day to go if you want to eat it.

However, no matter when you visit, the food is always fresh and tasty. The prices are fair, and the people who work there are very nice.

2. Devil’s Club Brewing

100 N Franklin St, Juneau, AK | American, Brewpub, Bar | $15 – $23 | Tuesday to Saturday 11:00 am – 8:00 pm

The Devil’s Club Brewing Company is one of the top downtown restaurants in Juneau, Alaska. It serves gourmet food and has locally made beer on tap. As one of the first places to become famous, this brewery & restaurant is a great place to spend an evening with friends.

The Devil’s Club has the best atmosphere of any place you could have ever been. This Franklin Street brewpub is one of a kind because it is in a building that was Juneau’s first theater in 1916.

So this one is less of a restaurant and more of a brewery. But we had to slip it in here because they have a great selection of small bites and beer.

The flight of the rainforest pale ale with blueberries, the barrel-aged slack tide, and the island fever were all things that our group tried. After a hiking trip in the rainforest, the North Chuglas, a very smooth hefeweizen, is just what you need.

If you want a quick snack, give yourself a favor and get some pretzels. With the perfect amount of melted cheese, these are saline, soft inside, and crunchy on the outside. We also had the turkey pesto toasties, which were perfectly toasted.

1. Deckhand Dave’s

139 S Franklin St, Juneau, AK | American, Bar, Seafood | $12 – $25 | Monday to Friday 11:00 am – 8:00 pm, Saturday 11:00 am – 9:00 pm, Sunday 11:00 am – 8:00 pm

Deckhand Dave’s is a taco truck with an Alaskan twist. It is right in the middle of downtown Juneau. 

Deckhand Dave’s is among the best places in Juneau to get seafood because it is owned and run by a former commercial fisherman.

A few minutes from the port, you can enjoy tasty halibut, salmon, or rockfish tacos featuring red cabbage slaw, pico de gallo, cilantro, or panko-breaded salmon with fries.

The menu is simple, and the prices are very fair. But what makes this restaurant top the list?

Here, you’ll experience some of the juiciest and crispiest fish and chips, and you’ll surely give this business a five-star rating. It is pretty tasty and somehow even more fresh compared to other fish and chip shops we’ve experienced.

Do yourself a great favor and visit Deckhand Dave’s for their Fish Tacos while you are in Alaska. The fish is exceptionally fresh, with an incredible sauce that tastes excellent.

The dining area is a massive patio behind the trailer that comes with a few other small restaurants. So, you have several options when you’re here.
