With a motto of “Good food. Better Beer. Proper People,” how can you go wrong? Idyll Hound Proper, the newest addition to 30Avenue in Inlet Beach is wowing customers with its colorful and stylish interiors, welcoming atmosphere, and creative menu. The menu, created by longtime local Chef Nick Walton, offers anything from traditional bar fare of wings and pretzels to innovative larger plates such as the Nashville Hot Chicken Mac & Cheese (a must try!).

Papa Surf Burger Bar
4324 W Co Highway 30A
Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459
The brainchild of country music star Brian Kelley and wife Brittney (30A locals who also own the popular apparel shop Tribe Kelley Surf Post in Grayton Beach), Papa Surf Burger Bar is a venture between the Kelleys alongside Jason and Brittany Aldean and Tom and Chris Glavine. Nestled in a cozy spot in Blue Mountain Beach directly on Highway 30A, Papa Surf features a laid-back vibe where customers can come straight off the beach to “ride the flavor wave” by grabbing a burger and a local brew around the outside Magnolia Bar. The menu features an array of burger options along with salads, chicken and fish sandwiches, and desserts.

6931 W. Co Highway 30A
Santa Rosa Beach, FL
A longtime favorite food truck in Freeport, 3 Sons Bar-B-Q opened a standalone location in the former Elmo’s restaurant on 30A’s west end. This new family-friendly hotspot features quick counter service with a welcoming atmosphere and a menu with a wide range of tantalizing homestyle favorites and few twists on traditional items like mac & cheese and baked potatoes loaded with smoked meats and the popular Slab Wrap – brisket on warm naan bread topped with onions, tomato, cucumbers, and Slabziki sauce. With games for the kids and a full bar and TVs tuned into the big game for the grown-ups, 3 Sons is a must-try for everyone!
