Grayton Seafood Co - SANTA ROSA BEACH

Took our crew out for some seafood and chose Grayton Seafood. The reservation process was very easy and critical for our family since we had 11 people with us. They were very accommodating and allowed us to update our reservation as needed. We started with the Blue Crab Claws and Fried Pickles both were a hit. The pickles were fried crisp without being overly breaded or greasy. The Crab Claws shouldn’t be missed which you can get fried or sautéed and we would highly recommend the sautéed. Our entree order was filled with many of the menu selections. The fish of the day was grouper or flounder and we had several takers on the grouper. While our pictures show a lot of fried food items the do offer blackened, grilled or fried so healthier selections can be made but hey we were on vacation they also offer a nice variety of sides. Do be aware however that they only offer beer and wine with a few can drink options so if you’re in the mood for a hand crafted bar drink it isn’t available here. Also note the parking is a little tight so just be aware that it could be a challenge. But don’t let those things deter you. It was a great dining experience and Emily our server handled our large party like a pro ensuring we always had what we needed and made sure we were able to fully enjoy our appetizers before serving our entrees. They even personalize their to go boxes and managers greet your table making for a dining experience you often don’t receive these days. Highly recommend you visit!

This is a fantastic spot to eat! We visit every time we're in Santa Rosa Beach. The food is outstanding, and the staff is amazing. I highly recommend it!

Amazing service! The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. The food was fresh and absolutely delicious. We tried the gumbo, which was bursting with flavor. The crab cakes were delightful, packed with real crab meat instead of fillers. The triple tail fish special was fantastic! And don’t miss out on the bread pudding – it's a must-try! We’ll definitely be returning. Just a tip: if you plan to sit outside, make sure to wear bug spray, as there are quite a few mosquitoes this time of year. Overall, this place is fantastic!

Excellent food, attentive service, and a wonderful atmosphere. The cheese grits and fresh fish were outstanding!

Quaint and food always good with attention to detail since the owner is almost always there.
