There are more expensive and less expensive ways to eat cow on 30A, but none offers a more authentic, dare we say, local vibe than Local Catch Bar & Grill in Santa Rosa Beach. The place is known for its seafood; obviously, the drink menu honestly deserves a blog of its own, however, today, we are here to talk about burgers. Oh baby, do they have a doozy of one here. The Double Burger consists of two 3 oz., all-beef patties blanked in an abundance of American cheese, and duh lettuce, pickles, and red onion on a challah bun. Yes, sure you can add bacon or a fried egg if you missed breakfast, but this flame-broiled beast tips the scales at 6oz right off the menu. It should sit nicely in your tummy for lunch, dinner, and pro-tip: it makes for the perfect hangover helper.

Chanticleer Eatery

Chanticleer 30a Burger

Chanticleer Eatery is located in Grayton Beach near the Shops of Grayton. What atmosphere this place has. Dining inside where it's cool and well lit, or al fresco, under the shade of local scrub oaks, this location is not to be missed. Serving lunch and dinner, Chanticleer features a tasty menu with dishes like Triple Pork Nachos, Jambalaya, and Krioyo Pasta. And let's not forget the mouthwatering burgers, which are included on the dinner menu. Our favorite was the Bacon Cheddar Guac Burger because, well shocker, we love Bacon, but they also offer a BBQ Burger, and a Rueben Burger— just to name a few, your taste buds will thank us later.

Great Southern Café

Great Southern Cafe 30A Burger

Great Southern Café in Seaside literally has the Best Burger! This menu item is ground fresh daily and served on a Kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, and Great Southern Café's zippy sauce on the side. Spice it up with a variety of cheeses and bacon for an explosion of flavor. Add fries or another side such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or cheese grits. Finally, pair your burger dish with a draft beer or craft cocktail for a great beach meal! Best of all, Great Southern sits in what may be the area's best location to people watch. Bite into your burger, sit back, and watch the silly splendor that is the general public as they meander around Central Square. Are they looking for a burger or just more wine? Your guess is as good as ours.

A fan favorite, the Classic Pub Burger is served on a Kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato, onion, and a kosher pickle.
