There are a bunch of good places beachbum5024. I havent been to Red Bar but everyone says it is great, and Randy is right on about Shuck Ums. That is real locals doing it there!

If you're looking for authentic local seafood try Bayou Ann's on 30-A between Seaside and PCB. It sits on a little bayou and its just cool as can be. And the food is awesome!

If you want an all night kind of multi course meal and money isnt a concern try Criollas. Its on 30-A too and it is probably the most talked about place on the coast. And hey, those guys in the Spring Break forum are right, if you want BBQ, go to Beach BBQ it rocks!
