Reviews Bud And Alley's

Bud & Alleys, a coastal gem, exceeded our expectations. We arrived during happy hour, and to our delight, they graciously allowed us to linger until they started serving the dinner menu. This flexibility added a personal touch to our dining experience, setting the stage for an evening to remember. The highlight of Bud & Alleys is undoubtedly the breathtaking view of the water. We were fortunate enough to witness a stunning sunset that painted the sky with hues of orange and pink. The outdoor seating provides an unobstructed view, creating a serene atmosphere that complements the coastal charm of the restaurant. For those planning to visit, I highly recommend arriving early. While waiting for a table, you can soak in the gorgeous surroundings and sip on their delightful cocktails. The wait may be a bit lengthy, but the scenic views make it well worth the patience. Moving on to the culinary experience, the gulf shrimp stole the show. Cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor, it was a delightful start to our meal. The freshness of the seafood was evident, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients. The mahi mahi, our main course, continued the culinary excellence. Grilled to perfection, each bite was a testament to the chef's skill. The dish was well-balanced, allowing the natural flavors of the fish to shine. It's evident that the kitchen takes pride in delivering dishes that showcase the local seafood with finesse. Bud & Alleys offers a memorable dining experience with its stunning views, fresh seafood, and inviting atmosphere - recommending it for those seeking a picturesque setting and a taste of the Gulf's culinary delights.

So thankful that this restaurant was able to accommodate our large group of 17! The food was delicious and service was top notch. Round of applause to Blake who kept the water flowing and dealt with our group of rowdy girls. All dishes were fresh and food came out quickly!

We stopped here for drinks and a light snack shortly after they opened on a Friday. It was raining but we sat upstairs at the bar, which was covered in plastic walls at the time. Our bartenders were friendly and attentive. We ordered their buffalo trace flight and snacked on the pimento cheese with crackers appetizer. The dip was just okay, but the flight was very nice.

Great wood fire pizza at the pizza bar and Trafforia! We tried Phil’s pie and Funjai pizza. Both were great and once you add some chili oil for extra spice and it attained new levels. Our waitress, Melissa, I’m was amazing and the drinks she made were great too, jalapeño Margarita, classic Margarita and Key Lime Colada(Frozen special of the day). Perfect place to stop after the beach! They have an outdoor bar street level with 30A.

Had a great time. Food was excellent! I’ve been coming here since the early 90s. The menu has changed but the food is still superb! This last time there were 9 of us and upstairs was unwilling to put tables together so we went down stairs. Which ended up working out better as we were out of the sun. Our sunburns were still hurting.

Service was outstanding at all levels from seating to server to chef. But Not the same experience I had 25 years ago. The food was good, but the menu is very limited and the prices are astronomical. (Bidenomics?) They own the waterfront market at and they're synonymous with the Seaside experience, and they know it and it shows. But I'll be back in another decade or so.

Great food and great views! The bartender on Sunday, 4/30 was awesome and so great to our party. We had the gulf shrimp, Brussels sprouts, and the homemade bread. It was enough for two. Brussel sprouts were more spicy than you'd expect, but still really good.
