North Beach Social — Restaurant in Santa Rosa Beach

To explain my ratings, the food was so so good. The atmosphere is very very kid/ family friendly, BUT not really at night. It’s soooo so dim outside under the lights that my son lost his croc. Which leads me to the service… that night when we were leaving and couldn’t find his shoe, I asked the bartender if they have a lost and found that they would put it in once they located it the next day. He was annoyed and said “IF we find it” but that was also after he said they take the sand daily. I know it’s not the restaurants fault we misplaced a shoe in the sand, but I called so many times in the following days and left messages. I never got a single returned call (even to say they didn’t have it) that I reached out via social media, hoping someone would respond on instagram since they were active in posting. Nothing. I literally lost count how many times I called and left messages, and only because it was my son’s favorite shoes he had just gotten with his favorite jibbits. Over 3 weeks later I had an appt in blue mountain so I drove over there before the restaurant opened. Was greeted by a cook who seem annoyed to look in the lost and found for me, after I mentioned how many times I’ve called. We live over 30 minutes away so it wasn’t convenient for me to come by. Not once did I speak to a live person, and no one returned my call. Therefore, we can get good food elsewhere. No need for us to make the effort or drive, after being treated like we were an...

Omg!! I cannot believe I have not gone to this place a lot sooner. Got talked into going last night and I had the BEST time!! The Band was straight up amazing !! The vibe there was beyond energetic and I ran into all my old friends I used to hand out with while going with a New Friend” ! It literally felt like the whole 30a gang was there for a reunion.. By the time we left I was beyond delightfully exhausted from catching up with everyone!! The vibe is amazing because there are children running around with families as well as the single peeps .. The setting is very open , on the bay “ literally” ! It’s a really great restaurant that you walk up and order your food and take where ever you want. Upstairs is more formal ! It has a huge dance floor deck where the band played outside . Everyone from age 6- 87 crowded the dance floor dancing to what I call “ club music “ the dudes voice was beyond unbelievable!! He brought the club dance music with a powerful voice that is something I literally never heard before!! The whole night was just perfectly well played and flowed effortlessly.. Me and my “New Friend” didn’t leave there until close to 11 pm and it was no we’re near closing time when we left.. We will definitely gonna again often. It may be our...

We ate outside at sunset. Food was delicious I had the faux Ya Ya grits with shrimp. My husband had nice sized oysters and a fish sandwich with large piece of fish- mahi mahi. It is mostly alfresco dining with white sand, games being played in the sand by teams, kids climbing on soft blocks and all at waters edge. I recommend a jacket as it cools down at night for those easily chilled. It still feels a little green my husband feels but the ambiance was so relaxed social it will rapidly be established. Just kind of different way of dining, where you order up front, then find a table. Servers will clear the table when you’re finished which is nice. So we were expecting servers as normal and like in the Bay across the street, another Jim Shirley restaurant. Can’t go wrong with this owner though, also in Seaside at Great Southern. The bathroom steps up and I almost fell into it so be careful. The exit is precarious as it exits into busy 331 with people zipping down the bridge. We went out the “wrong” way on Chat Holley but felt safer. Hence- a little green. Also there is another restaurant attached with totally different food. Upstairs has view of Choctawhatchee bay at both places. North Beach...
