Everything food and drink, in one place: the best-of lists, the full directory, and where the happy-hour deals are. The short version of eating here — Gulf seafood is the point (royal reds, oysters, whatever the boats brought in), the waterfront places charge for the view, and the best plates are often at the counter-service shacks a block off the sand. Start with a list if you know what you want, or browse the full directory if you are just hungry. Two habits pay off in season: eat early or late (the six-to-eight rush is real from spring break through Labor Day), and check the menu pages below before you drive — the ones we have transcribed come straight from the restaurants, prices included, so you know what you are walking into.
