"We evacuated to Seaside during Ida and while we always loved Great Southern Cafe, it seemed especially welcome this trip! If you ever notice that the people who work locally, you will find there after their shift, which always speaks well from a bar or café! The owner of this place is just one of the nicest men and he also owns the Sushi restaurant nearby, which I also recommend!! So back to the Great South, I would like to say I tried everything, but I can never come by the grouper!! It is the best black, fried, grilled, no matter what it is wonderful. Ask for the Crab above and it will die for!!! The pages are the hardest decisison and you will probably not be able to eat it when you order an appetizer, but go ahead and do it anyway!!! My husband loves the raw oysters and we are wine drinkers so that the wine list is always sufficient and actually more than sufficient for seafood... The service is great and the atmosphere outside is safe and wonderful. This is the gold standard and a must do when you go to 30A somewhere near 30A! We go back in a few weeks and I can't wait to go back the Great South!!! Come from the land of food NOLA, which is a compliment!!!"
