Super Iconic restaurant! I recommend this place to everyone, because everyone should try it at least once. Irish themed restaurant with a very welcoming atmosphere. Try the housemade rootbeer and boxty's (fried mashed potatoes)...both are FANTASTIC!

One of the FEW authentic Mexican food spots in the area. The taco truck is attached to a little Mexican market where you place your order, pay, and take your ticket to the other side. There, they prepare your order. Their taco hours are 3p- 8p but the market is open earlier if you would like to try their baked goods which almost ALWAYS sell out before 3.

Drinks & Nightlife
Buffalo Wild Wings
99 Eglin Pkwy NEThe Harbor boardwalk is a lovely scenic strip with just as much to do during the day as there is at night! There are plenty of giftshops, food and fun for the whole family during the day. Take the family in the morning and by the late evening the nightlife awakens. Plenty of bars with a couple of dance spots sprinkled in.

Don't let the empty outside parking lot fool you, inside is almost always a good time. 70's and 80's R&B and their awesome soul/bar food make this spot one of my favorites. *Warning: Make sure to call ahead and order unless you intend to hang out there and dance a while, because the food is made to order and takes at least 40 minutes.

Sightseeing
Exclusive access beaches immediately to your right after you come off the brooks bridge. These spots have less crowds and usually better parking. Once you've driven past the waffle house and gas station be on the lookout to turn left in between the condominiums on Santa Rosa blvd and you'll see the gravel parking lots with the access beaches.
