It’s not our first time to enjoy their breathtaking views and delectable crab cakes. This time, we chose this spot for our grand family New Year’s Eve lunch. I was enjoying my family moments so much that I forgot to focus on food reviews, so please pardon the quality of my pictures. However, I did capture a video to share the atmosphere – the music, aperol spritz, and the mesmerizing ocean views. Speaking of the food, I opted for the crab cakes supplemented with sweet potato fries – a delightful combination! Our table also indulged in cheese dip, roasted salmon with green lentils, and seafood gumbo. Without a doubt, I’ll be returning for those crab cakes on my next visit.

Bud & Alleys, a coastal gem, exceeded our expectations. We arrived during happy hour, and to our delight, they graciously allowed us to linger until they started serving the dinner menu. This flexibility added a personal touch to our dining experience, setting the stage for an evening to remember. The highlight of Bud & Alleys is undoubtedly the breathtaking view of the water. We were fortunate enough to witness a stunning sunset that painted the sky with hues of orange and pink. The outdoor seating provides an unobstructed view, creating a serene atmosphere that complements the coastal charm of the restaurant. For those planning to visit, I highly recommend arriving early. While waiting for a table, you can soak in the gorgeous surroundings and sip on their delightful cocktails. The wait may be a bit lengthy, but the scenic views make it well worth the patience. Moving on to the culinary experience, the gulf shrimp stole the show. Cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor, it was a delightful start to our meal. The freshness of the seafood was evident, showcasing the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients. The mahi mahi, our main course, continued the culinary excellence. Grilled to perfection, each bite was a testament to the chef's skill. The dish was well-balanced, allowing the natural flavors of the fish to shine. It's evident that the kitchen takes pride in delivering dishes that showcase the local seafood with finesse. Bud & Alleys offers a memorable dining experience with its stunning views, fresh seafood, and inviting atmosphere - recommending it for those seeking a picturesque setting and a taste of the Gulf's culinary delights.

Best spot on 30A for a meal with a view! I love this place for lunch on a clear gulf day and the view cannot be beat. My favorites are the tuna dip, crab cakes and sweet potato fries. They make the best pina colada in town.

My wife & I ate lunch here. The views from the top deck were stunning. Our waitress (Chamiyyah) was great. We had the pimento cheese app & fish entree. The food was phenomenal & we will be back.
