Review Great Southern Cafe - Santa Rosa Beach

Greg Burch
While visiting some friends we decided to try out this restaurant. It seems to be a popular place to eat as there is always a line waiting to be seated. Once seated we were greeted by a friendly waitress who took our order. When the food came out everything was perfect. The food was delicious and everyone enjoyed their meal. This is a great place to visit and enjoy a wonderful home cooked meal.

Great Southern Cafe was a great place for lunch, but we had some issues while we were there. One of our friends never got her food, so after waiting for what felt like forever, she just told them to cancel her order. As for my meal, I had a bowl of Gumbo and the Seafood Tower. I would highly recommend the Seafood Tower and a peach mojito.

Perfect location with a menu for just about anybody. Fish was fresh and cooked to perfection. Drinks were amazing and the atmosphere couldn’t have been better. Right in the middle of seaside with plenty of outdoor space, bars to enjoy the games and seating for families.

Excellent food and wonderful attentive service. The Calamari appetizer was good. The Seafood Gumbo is good, the Shrimp n Grits were well liked, and the Black n Blue salad was excellent.

We have visited here three times, and each time has been a great experience. This last time we were served by a waiter named Chase who absolutely made our experience even better than the others. He was knowledgeable about the menu and he was so good with our toddler. He made the night stress free and he absolutely will bring us back. Thank you chase for a great night!

Tara was amazing with a friendly attitude and anticipated our needs. The food was perfectly prepared and in the right portions to provide value without overeating. The smoked Gouda grits are mandatory. The hush puppies are uniquely done and delicious.

Awesome seaside restaurant with great food! Tara was very helpful navigating the menu for us first timers. The hush puppies are the best I ever had.

A perfect place to eat after doing a little shopping in Seaside! The pineapple mojito might just be my new favorite drink. The food was all so fresh and delicious! Our waitress was professional and on top of it, too!! We were staying in Miramar Beach, but our friends highly recommended The Great Southern so we made the 15 minute drive and we are so glad that we did!! Will definitely be on the list to come back next time we are in town!

Chad was an awesome waiter. The dinner was amazing. The best smoked Gouda grits on the planet.

A great place to eat if you’re ever in this part of town! My husband and I visited a few weeks ago and came for a late lunch/early dinner, so it was pretty slow. We sat outside and admired the view of the square. Our server was nice and friendly, offered alternatives for my picky eating. I got a Caesar salad and added blackened salmon (which I’m pretty sure was cooked in heaven). My husband got a burger with bacon, and we shared sweet potato fries for funsies. I would 100% go again for the salmon alone. Everything was so fresh and tasty!

Popular spot, definitely worth getting there early in the morning on the weekends. Outside seating is a bit nicer and more lively. The grits a ya ya is a great take on shrimp and grits, avocado toast was good - I wish they used a bread like grilled sourdough and I think then one slice would be plenty. The beignets are a great share plate. Service was good and staff was friendly.

We enjoyed our experience here! Delicious virgin drinks. The grits a ya ya dish was the best! The mushroom creamy gravy was so good. Easily shareable if you plan on ordering appetizers and dessert. The service was quick and our waters were filled frequently. The key lime pie was good with a meringue top! Fried okra was yummy. Also enjoyed the collard green and artichoke dip.

Amazing! We had a wonderful meal, highly recommend the fried shrimp and grits meal and you MUST try the hot sauce!

Amazing experience! Amazing Atmosphere! I couldn’t quite taking pictures of everybody’s plate! The presentation was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! We had a group of 12 and made reservations, but still had to wait about 15 min. , but it was totally okay. It was a packed house so I recommend getting there early or make reservations weeks in advance. You could sit inside or outside on the patio. The weather was nice so we choose to sit outside! Best Mohito I ever had and so many different flavors to choose from. I highly recommend this place! Until next time!

Food was excellent. Sat outside and the weather was perfect. Waitress could have been a little more friendlier and attentive, but, oh well.

Service was eh. But trust me the grits a ya ya were fantastic. The shrimp was seasoned perfectly and their grits are amazing. The Benedict wasn't bad but no hollandaise sauce really makes it not a Benedict to me. The frose and dreamicle at bff is AMAZING too

**A Culinary Symphony in Seaside!** Hey there, foodie friends! Just had the pleasure of diving into a plate of Grits À Ya Ya and the Catch of the Day at Great Southern Cafe in Seaside, FL. First off, the Grits À Ya Ya were a flavor explosion! Creamy grits, spicy andouille sausage, plump shrimp – it’s like a Southern dance party in your mouth. The Catch of the Day? Fresh as the morning breeze off the Gulf. The ambiance? Think coastal charm meets casual elegance – perfect for date night or a laid-back lunch. Let me tell you, this place is a Seaside staple. Been coming here for years, and it never disappoints.

Great place for outdoor seating and delicious food! The Carson Chicken sandwich was incredible! The sweet potato fries were the best I've ever had. Lots of wine and beer choices and a cute bar.
