Great concept for family fun! It's a food hall with a coffee shop, seafood, BBQ, and more. The stage is set as the focal point and lots of seating options for hanging out and dining. There is a bar with electric plugs and nice service. Game room was busy as well. Nice place to get something for everyone. read more

Fantastic venue for live music, casual dining and drinks. Arrive by 5:30-6:00 to avoid major parking issues, as well as having a chance to find a table. The atmosphere is fun and family friendly but a bit chaotic with little kids. Also, it adds up FAST and you'll spend a couple (few) hundred dollars here in no time if you are eating and drinking with a family. read more

Cool place, good concept, fun atmosphere, solid food options. Something for everyone! I really enjoyed the communal lawn area. There are also shops in the area. A few of us ordered from Duo's, and my boyfriend had tacos from Macho Taco. The food was really tasty, I loved his tacos! I had the Chicken Sandwich and others had turkey clubs. The portion sizes were great and the sauce bar was an added bonus. The prices, while high, aren't surprising for the area nor are they outrageous. I'd recommend as a place to bring the family or as a group of friends staying near by. read more

Formerly "The Hub," this place is definitely a standout whenever you're driving around near 30A. They used to have a really good coffee shop with a bee logo in it, but alas, it no longer resides there (bring it back, the people crave the bee coffee). Now it's what I can only describe as a tailgate gathering with shops and turf squares with occasional live music and big projectors. It's a pretty cool concept, and my family was actually very enthusiastic about trying this place as we snooped around the shops nearby in the earlier hours. Although, I don't believe it really met our expectations. We did enjoy perusing the area and socializing with the people nearby, but what really tanked the mood was THE FOOD. I'm gonna give them some grace here but good lord the food is as mid as it gets. Not only that but it took eons to be made and it was pretty pricey for essentially glorified wendy's food. I'm sure this could be mended in many of ways, and maybe it was just our experience, but I believe until some things are tweaked and fine tuned a bit, you may be best stopping in for a bit to feel the vibe or admiring the place from a distance. read more

I'm happily apart of A&D Honey Farms and we recently got accepted to do Thursday markets here at the big chill in 30A . We love the atmosphere and food options, it's family friendly offering something for everyone to enjoy. Games, food, outdoor covered seating so you aren't getting baked by the sun, friendly staff, which you always see diligently working together. I'm super excited to be apart of these markets and can't wait to see what the summer months bring for us. read more

A fun, vibrant, convenient, and cool food hall in the heart of 30A next to Water Sound. After trying many places in this food hall, I have strong opinions about the Do's and Dont's in terms of best places to dine. The Duos All-American Eats is the best spot! It's sandwiches (especially the fried chicken) are TO DIE FOR. I think it's a good value, compared to other spots too. The cashiers are sooo friendly and helpful, and it's nice to have the option to eat inside this restaurant-- away from the fray of the rest of the food hall! The banana pudding is a SO worth-it dessert treat. Can't wait to come back!! read more

We visited at around 7pm. The place was packed, people watching the football game on a jumbo screen. We had prosecco, affogato and a great nacho appetizer. People are super friendly and welcoming. The place has outdoor access to shops and public bathrooms. They have parking handicapped accessible. read more

This place is fun with good food options. We had really good burgers, but there were other options like lobster rolls, bbq, pizza, etc. Cool ambiance food court with jumbo screen tv going, an arcade, cornhole. Good vibe. Go! read more

We arrived during "movie night" and the environment was fun and exciting, especially for families with younger kids. My kids are older now, so it wasn't a huge hit for us, but it was great to see the place packed with families having a good time. That's the main reason this isn't a 1-star review -- I want to give credit for the entertainment value. Now let's talk about the food. Duos: I've had better (and more edible) hamburgers back in high school. This burger tasted like it had been microwaved. If it wasn't, it might as well have been. Onion rings: Yes, they were jumbo, but they were soggy and undercooked in the middle. Not appetizing at all. Soda machines: All out of ice, and when I asked at Duos, they said there was nothing they could do. I get that it's hot and busy, but having ice is not optional when you're running a food court and charging what you are. Nachos/Mexican spot: The quesadilla was large, but it was soggy like it had been baked or steamed, and the juices just soaked the tortilla. For the price you're charging, the food should be way better. I understand rent and labor costs are high, but that doesn't excuse soggy, microwaved, or poorly prepared meals. People are willing to pay for quality -- this just wasn't it. read more

The pork nachos were amazing! Also, the turkey sandwich and Mac cheese were wonderful. The staff were very friendly and accommodating with our puppies. read more

Loved this place! We came with a big group and were easily able to find a table to fit us all. All of our food came out quickly so it was very seamless and efficient. Someone in our group had the caesar from the burger spot and it was absolutely delish, we ended up sharing and I loved it. It was super fresh and felt like it was all quality ingredients. I got the tackle box from the seafood place and it was PHENOMENAL. I'm going to even say it's the best fried shrimp I've ever had. They were perfectly seasoned and cooked, 10/10. My only complaint and the reason I didn't get 5 stars is due to the soda station. You have to scan a code on your cup to dispense and are only allotted a certain amount. For the amount you are paying for the food it feels cheap and honestly lessens the experience. I overheard at least 3 different groups complain about it while I was there. That being said, I'm trying to figure out how to convince my group to come back while we're here. read more

The outdoor area was really nice and open with live music on a Thursday night. We went to the Mexican restaurant and low key didn't love it. I built my own burrito with their shrimp. I ordered extra chipotle aioli and if they put that in the burrito with the shrimp I think it would have been way better. read more

This was such a great outdoor spot to venture out to while we were staying in Rosemary Beach for vacation. It was under a 10 minute drive, easy straight shot up 30A. We found a parking spot right in front too! It's an outdoor food court style concept with a nice variety of options - burger joint, tacos, pizza, bbq, some other options i'm forgetting :) and a full bar. It's also filled with cute shops to peruse and plenty of things to keep the kids busy (and your wallet empty...ha!) - there's a build-a-bear workshop (which our 2 year old daughter thoroughly enjoyed doing!), an arcade (that our 4 year old didn't want to leave), a candy shop, bag toss and plenty of space to wander around. We got a variety of food and everything was tasty. Nothing that's worth noting 3 weeks post trip, but it's the atmosphere more than anything that makes this place a must with small kiddos. We happened to go on family movie night and they were playing UP on a large outdoor movie screen which was super cool! We had a table right next to their long fireplace and it was the perfect ambiance for our last evening in Florida. We can't wait to visit Rosemary Beach again, and this will definitely be on our re-visit list as well! read more

Came here when we first got into seaside on a Monday. It wasn't too crowded since it was a week day but there was live music and lots of games and options to eat. We ate at the seafood place and was able to split our meal. read more

Great place for Overall fun and food! Right across The street from our ABNB so it was convenient. The coffee place (doesn't take cash ) they have auto check out but they don't really tell you when your order is ready. I got the notification that was ready after I returned to my Airbnb. My husband loved the coffee. The kids love the açaí bowls! It was our morning to go! The burger joint hit The stop after a day at the beach! super friendly service but you pick up your order at the counter and all the condiments are outside. There is AC and you're able to sit inside. The drinks have a QR code on the side for tracking how much liquid you get. I've never seen that before. The burger hit and the fries were hot! Don't forget the juicy pickle!!! My son ordered the pork nachos and They put everything on the "right" side All and all we're glad that this was so close to the Airbnb. We were able to jump in the golf cart and get what we needed. We didn't take advantage of the shopping there maybe next time and they also had bands and even look like some yoga on stage, but we missed all that too. Most of our time was spent at the beach. read more

Go there every time we visit the beach. it's the best! Great variety of food. Something for everyone!

Great venue to gather around and watch football or see a concert on their stage. It's surrounded by shops with many order at the counter food options. Don't let this casual spot fool your wallet. Like everything else here food & drinks are pretty expensive. We got a house wine and tap beer . Total cost (without tip) $27! Yikes! My advice if your staying nearby like in Prominence bring your own drinks and sit by the huge screen tv & enjoy the game without losing your wallet. read more

Conveniently located across from our rental property made going over to the Big Chill a breeze. The food is probably around a 6 out of 10, but it does the job for chicken fingers, burgers, tacos, and BBQ. The drink are meh and a bit overpriced for what you get. But, the they do babe an arcade, ice cream, and a build a bear for the kids. They also have huge big screen tv's. We went during March Madness and my husband was impressed with screens and the variety of games playing. All in all we'll definitely give it a try again. read more

We have been here many times, dating back to when it was called "The Hub" which I thought was a better name. But that's neither here nor there. There are a lot of good options for food and retail at this place, but I have generally been there for food and the entertainment. There is a big open green area that they sometimes fill with seating if there is an event on the stage/screen to view. The food selection is good and food court style, but way nicer. I love this because everyone in your group can get food from different vendors to suit their needs.There is an American place, BBQ, Mexican, a full bar and many others. When crowded, it can be hard to find a parking spot close by and/or a table. But they have done better in this area over time. When you order, you get a buzzer and there are mostly picnic style tables for you to eat at. read more

Excellent outdoor entertainment venue. Last night we enjoyed live music on stage while we shopped and dined at all of the outdoor walk-up food vendors. Today at lunch... we watched March Madness on the Jumbotron. The people watching is off the chain, the food is good, drinks are reasonably priced, and there are many different variations for chairs, picnic tables, rockers, etc. and a decent sized fire pit for those off season cool panhandle nights. I even scored a nice new Patagonia jacket for 60% off. Win, Win! Go check it out! We will head back there tonight at 7p for a Kid's movie night, Alice in Wonderland on the big screen. read more

We recently stayed near this so we were lucky to visit multiple times. Very cool family-friendly concept; there is a big play area with candy and food and ice cream, bordered by several high-end shops perfect for mama. The food options were all good to me - bbq, burgers, Mexican, and seafood, what's not to love. And of course several bar areas to order drinks. Tables are first come first serve and shared by all locations and open to anyone even passing through. Nectar coffee is a good spot for the morning too - nothing fancy but all the good stuff. They had the big screen on for March Madness which was great. Highly recommend for lunch & or dinner. read more

Food is good, hard to find a table and then find a clean one is even harder. Very very loud if you want conversation this is not the place to go. Service like a food court and it was fine. Cool place but they need to figure out how to turn down the volume enough so people can talk - this is not a dance club. I'm all for dancing and having fun but it was just overkill. Need more shops to shop would be nice too. read more

This is ridiculous. I've been waiting for 4 hours for my meal at Duos Bar. Keep in mind all I ordered was a French fry side, nothing else. I was really trying to enjoy myself at this amazing environment surrounding me with laughter and joy. Although it was all canceled out when I was worn out waiting for my food for hours. This is ridiculous. I saw people who ordered 5 course meals AFTER ME getting their orders in 5-10 minutes. I'm ashamed. Just ashamed. read more

The Big Chill is a great place to hang out with large groups because of the variety of food options, games, outdoor seating (shaded with fans), shopping, and TVs. I think customer service at the bar needs to improve, however. The bartender spent 11 minutes (timed him) talking to a regular patron instead of serving drinks to anyone else. It took a bar back/busboy to get him to start working again. With a place that gets busy during tourist season, you need to move quickly. Other than this, my entire family enjoyed our experience! read more

On my first day staying on 30A, my friends and I decided to make a pit stop here and grab a bite to eat. This spot is pretty neat as they not only have a few different bites to enjoy (similar to a food hall) but there are open bars and even stores within close proximity. They have a shaded outdoor deck and a grass lawn with patio chairs. Looks like they even host movie screenings and concerts with the main stage smack dab in the middle. This is so well kept and was very clean and kept tidied. It didn't feel disgusting or like a dirty cafeteria to say. Prices were pretty fair for me tbh but I was on vacay mode. Ended up grabbing a lobster roll that was stacked and a glass of wine. Every staff member I interacted with was super friendly. This is worth a stop if you have a large group and want to kill some time. You also have a chance to do some shopping, so who doesn't like that?! read more

Oh the Big Chill...formerly called The Hub. Nice spot with lots of food and drinks options to buy from. This place is veryyyyy pricey though, even for just a simple scoop of ice cream or two tacos. Anytime I buy something from here I leave a store sweaty and confused as to how my bill got so high despite only buying one thing. I came here twice while staying in 30a. The first time I came and got mushroom tacos. As mentioned, they were extremely expensive. But they were good, so at least there's that. I also got an aperol spritz, which was yummy. We also wandered around the shops and stopped in a few. Again...all the shops were wildly expensive but fun to look around. I wish Nectar Coffee was still open, their coffee was my favorite on 30a. But it seems there was a lot of construction going on, so several places were closed as they worked on renos. I'm interested to see what the place will look like once construction is done... The second time I came I got ice cream. Just a scoop and a topping. It was almost ten dollars. Oof, I've spent less for more at bougie independent little ice cream stores. This was just kemps ice cream. But I wanted ice cream badly sooo yeah. It's on me for spending the money but I am confused as to how it's so expensive. There's lots of seating at the Big Chill. Tables, chairs, couches... As mentioned, we came twice and didn't have any trouble finding a spot. Overall a fun spot to stop in. Good place for kids. Just be sure to prepare your wallet if you buy something...or not check your bank account until after pay day. read more

The whole set up is pretty cool. A variety of food choices to meet anyone's taste. Live music on the stage. Open air seating as well as covered seating was a welcomed sight considering it can rain at any moment. Even an arcade and ice cream to get your kids fired up! Overall, a fun relaxing experience on a pretty chill night. read more

I am so impressed with The Big Chill. It is literally a night on the town all in one place. We went with the idea of getting some ice cream one evening but ended up shopping for clothes and candy as well. After about an hour of shopping fun, we shared some soft-serve Vanilla Ice Cream with Reese's Pieces and Caramel Sauce. We spent some time enjoying our treat and watching March Madness on the big screen(s) in the center area. Perfect night. Perfect. read more

A tourist trap in the middle of 30A tourist traps. It is a clean, kid friendly option that is open all day. Some evenings have live entertainment or a "family" movie night. While we were there the movie National Treasure was showing. Great movie, but not great for little kids to sit and watch or parents to watch while trying to chase their kids. They have multiple food options. All are way overpriced for what you get. Avoid the BBQ...it is simply not good. The burgers are fine as is the pizza, but nothing special. The Mexican stand was good, we did not try the fish. Overall, rotating food trucks or something would seem like a better option, but probably less profit for The Big Chill. read more
