Lots of different rooms to the restaurant. Came here around 8pm and sat in one of the grungy rooms. Got the shrimp and grits. Big portion size and big gulf shrimp. Grits were well cooked. Great service and great food. read more

We are staying in the area and decided to take a drive to explore. We came across this small restaurant. Parking is very limited; we had to park in the grass under their sign. The restaurant was full, so we had about a 15-minute wait for lunch on a Monday. We sat in a small room that only had 3 tables. Our server was very sweet. My husband ordered the shrimp linguine and I ordered their cheeseburger. Everything was very tasty. I'm not sure if they take reservations, but I think you would definitely need one for dinner. read more

Little disappointed yesterday. It's been a couple of years since I last had lunch at Chanticleer Eatery. I brought a friend who had never been with the promise of the best Reuben sandwich on the beach. To my chagrin it was smaller with less pastrami. This down sizing of food seems epidemic especially in the fast food industry. But I would never have expected it from this restaurant with one of their signature sandwiches and hawking for $22.00 bucks read more

Service was wonderful! Loved the fried gulf shrimp and grouper (fish was slightly over-grilled which dried it out so docking a star), $6 happy hour cocktails until 6pm, and a free parking lot on site! Totally gives a Paula Dean's/southern charm restaurant vibe. read more

Food was amazing! Low staffed, but server was great too. Space itself was a little choppy but we will be back!

We were looking for a spot between Crestview and Panama City for lunch with friends and this spot looked promising. Definitely an interesting menu with lots of options. We did the taco special, grilled cheese, Cobb salad, and cheeseburger. The tacos were interesting and tasted ok. The cheeseburger wasn't bad. The sweet potato fries were tasty. The Cobb salad was not good, looked way better than it tasted and the grilled cheese was inedible. Overall, the experience wasn't awful, but wasn't worth the hour drive. If you're in the area, maybe give them a try and see what you think. read more

This place is a hidden gem! I highly recommend it. Great happy hour pricing, great atmosphere, ask about their home made cookies , Rueben sandwich, and pork chops they are to die for! Most importantly the service from the staff. Ask for Liam , Lucas, and Meg read more

Tried this spot while visiting - great food & friendly service. We sat at the bar (not crowded), & the bartender was super hospitable. The shrimp & grits, and fried shrimp basket were both excellent. If you like Cajun spice, you'll love it here. The layout could be more open, but overall a solid experience. read more

Chanticleer Eatery - Shrimp & grits. Delish - the grits were so creamy & shrimp was perfectly grilled & spiced! - American Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

I just finished lunch at Chanticleer, it was my first and last time visiting this place. The sandwich I had fell apart when I picked it up, the shrimp tasted like frozen microwave. The thing that disturbs me the most is the waitress not once came by and asked how was everything. When she delivered the check, crickets. I'm really getting sick of going to restaurants, getting sub par food for ridiculous prices, and nobody gives a damn. read more

We really enjoyed the food and the service. The bread and rolls are amazing. The white chocolate and coconut cookie is an epicurean delight. The ambiance is sort of rustic. Very much worth a visit. read more

Kinda run down and a little dirty. Needs a good deep clean. Food was good but that was it. Seemed like they were low on staff and we had to pay by Venmo- must have been having issues that night. read more

Hey, we stayed on Grayton beach for about a week & this is our favorite restaurant. The food is the best & the service is excellent. They make one feel special. Hope you will enjoy it as read more

We found out that is run by the team that runs Local Catch. This made it a must try on our last vacation. The Menu was at the usual pricepoint for all of the 30A seaside/watercolor restaurants. They have a good variety of offerings, but mainly seafood. It offers a Cajun type flavor to things and also with their restaurant style. Our server was awesome and very helpful. I did have the seafood platter with shrimp and catch of the day (Mahi) with their remoulade and fries. Very good, light, crispy , with a hint of spices. The crab cake was very delicious and full of crab meat as well. The restaurant has ample parking around it and it is at the crossroads of the Grayton beach/30A just north of the traffic stop there. Definitely would go back to both here and the local catch in the future! 4/5 because of pricepoint .... read more

Good food, good service. We had the chicken flatbread appetizer and it was little burnt but still good. I think it would be better with less chicken but still very good. Crab cakes were good, great remoulade sauce. The sauteed crab claws had a good flavor, most sauteed are sitting it butter or a liquid mixture, there were not but still good. Rice that came with crab cakes very flavorful and we don't even a ton of rice. Sweet potato fries were just ok, not crispy. The white chocolate coconut cookies, fried. 2 out 3 of us like the cookie. Would definitely eat there again. read more

Yall this restaurant was AMAZING! Our food was fantastic, everything was made in house! Lucas was our server, and he was exceptional! Thank you again Lucas! All staff were so welcoming and kind! Arguably the best food in 30A! P.S. The pork chop is the best entree on the menu. read more

Our families go to restaurant . Friendly workers, relaxed atmosphere and great food. I love their Cobb salad

The place was packed, had great reviews, our expectations were high. I took the servers recommendation, a chicken and rice dish. It was piled high with what I think was an entire bag of shredded cheese. My husband ordered a salad, it came piled high with an entire bag of shredded cheese as well. Perhaps a regional thing? The service was nice, we were seated fast, clean, good atmosphere. We just didn't care for the food. read more

The service here was outstanding. Jammie our server was incredible. The food was delish and plenty! Pork chops next level. Bread and oil dip! Wow Creamed spinach so good. Everything homemade and tastes great. Don't miss this gem. Highly recommend. read more

Chanticleer Eatery - Blackened fish with shrimp. Creamed spinach and mashed potatoes - American Near Me - Santa Rosa Beach, Florida

Ordered a couple sandwiches to go. Found the staff member I dealt with to be very nice, but I have nothing outstanding to say about the food received from this restaurant except for a list of extra fees. There was a fee for placing an order, a 20% mandatory gratuity fee, and a 3% fee to use a credit card. There was also the limited parking challenge. Definitely wish I had a do-over to spend $50 someplace else. read more

This was the second time coming. First time was great. This time not so much. Food was just ok. Not worth the price. Fish tasted burnt and was not fresh. Drinks were good and waitress was good. That was it. And they were burning the food in the kitchen and our eyes were burning through out the meal. read more

Had an amazing chicken salad sandwich here for lunch while sitting outside. Was really nice but when we went to use the restrooms the smell inside was of old beer and I don't know what else. Avoid the inside of this restaurant. read more

Best food in Grayton Beach! Our waiter's personality added an extra flair to the ambiance. He didn't lie when he said they make everything from scratch. Make sure you have a meal at Chanticleer Eatery before you leave. read more

Chanticleer is a "do not miss" restaurant on Santa Rosa island. It's a bit off the beaten path, but don't let that discourage you. If you've ridden the shuttle to the Grayton beach restaurants, the street the restaurant is located on is right across the street. It has an eclectic beach decor and has a lovely outside dining area as well. The service, food and wine selections are EXCELLENT. My wife had the crab cakes, I had the pork chops and both were among the best we've eaten. Our server, Jimmy steered us in the right direction from drinks to entrees to the house made cookies to go. We are just sorry we found this place toward the end of our stay! We'll be back for lunch before we head home! read more

As soon as I heard Al Green playing on the outdoor patio I knew I was going to have a good experience. Me and my buddy stopped in for a quick lunch, got the tacos of the day and he got the pulled pork plate. Delightful. Portions were great for the price. Collard greens were bomb. Service was great and she checked in multiple times. Would come again. read more

Took a party of 6 for a birthday lunch. We dined inside but should have stayed outside as the interior of the restaurant was not that pleasing. Service was above average. There were mixed opinions on our meals but the general conclusion was all food selections were good, not excellent. Those that ordered sandwiches found the portion too large to politely bite and resorted to messy open face consumption. read more

Good food and service, but 5% credit card fee is a rip off! Outrageous and won't be back.

Love this place! Excellent food whether lunch or dinner, and I highly recommend trying it if you haven't ever been before!

Disappointed in the taste and quality of the food based on the prices. Waiter took forever to get us checked out. It is not worth the money. read more

Terrific food! Had the Reuben and loved it! The sweet potatoes fries are lovely. My only sadness is that they don't make the Un-Brie-able Grilled Cheese anymore. That sandwich gave meaning to my life. Service was prompt and friendly. The location and atmosphere was fun and cozy. The paintings are a delight. read more

We've vacationed in the area for several years but had not tried this place yet. Today we were driving around looking for a place for lunch on a rainy day. What a hidden gem! Service was friendly and the food was quite good. Nice selection of sandwiches and salads on the lunch menu. I had the chicken salad sandwich and the summer salad, in generously sized 1/2 portions. We also had the turkey avocado sandwich, club sandwich, creamy pasta salad (so good) and broccoli cheddar soup. Everything we ordered was very tasty! Diners around us ordered the key lime pie which was huge and looked very good. Maybe next time! We will be back, next time to try the cocktail menu. read more

Let's start with the ambiance very casual place, on the loud side. Service was good but the food was mediocre. Shrimp po boy was on stale bread with frozen shrimp deep fried. A little disappointing here on the gulf coast. They had a good tomato basil soup and chic salad was ok. Maybe need to try something else next time. read more

First time trying this place and decided to go because of other Yelp reviews ! We got in and we're seated right away. It was quite in the restaurant so we sat in the bar. The bartender was very friendly and came over right away. We got a beer and a blueberry cocktail. Both were served cold and tasted delicious. We got the pulled pork nachos to share. They tasted incredible, until....there were what looked like fruit flies under the whole first layer of nachos. We obviously stopped eating and they quickly took the tray back. Not sure the issue there but not sure if I will be back. read more
