Good eats in the area

So just so people know me a little, I'm a 350 lb. guy that knows good food. I'm also a pretty decent cook and grill/ smoker chef. If the foods' terrible, I'll let you know. When living on the coast, it's important to take what the area has to offer and use as much as you can in your menu. Some places excel at this, others fail miserably. This is a short list of some places that keep it simple and don't charge you for their mistakes, LOL! If one treats you wrong, Feel free to let the mangers know (in a polite way) and they will try to accommodate your needs or fix their mistake.
BASIC SEAFOOD May not always have exceptional service but the food is reasonably priced and its 1 mile away from the condo.

BBQ, RIBS ARE AWESOME!! First time here they messed up my order, left out a whole meal, when I went back they doubled my Trio and gave me a $20 gift card. The pit master/ manager both came out to discuss, the food was AMAZING! I may not tell you all the good things about these restaurants but it's the times you have problems and how they resolve them that make the difference, especially when on vacation.

DINER/ AMERICAN I'm all about the quaint, nostalgic type places. This one can get packed pretty quick but has decent food at reasonable prices. If you'll notice, most of my recommendations are price based, may have something to do with me having 4 girls under 6 years old, LOL.

GREAT SEAFOOD The 2,165 google reviews should speak for itself. Always get a seat next to the window if you're able, May see a couple gators out in the lagoon. Also have decent fried or grilled/ blackened food. Remember, you're at a seafood restaurant, next to the gulf, go after the seafood. Also has a little salad bar you can add to your meal, so worth it.

LOCAL CATCH/ GREAT SEAFOOD 1,561 REVIEWS FOR 4.3 STAR RATING Probably some of the better southern seafood in the area. Small business with local owners, (at least used to be) my wife worked here when she was younger and we hit this place from time to time.
