We love coming to 30A — and not just because of the incredible beaches! Being from New Orleans, which has arguably one of the best restaurant scenes in the country, we take our meals pretty seriously.
Each time we come to 30A, we like to try a few new spots to see if they merit addition to our permanent list. Here, we offer that list to you, in the hopes that one might become your family’s favorite on your next visit. Be sure to go early or make a reservation, if you can!
