Established in 1999, the Summer Kitchen was the first restaurant & commercial business in Rosemary Beach. Our humble beginnings took place in the little red building– just a walk up window serving the initial few people working, living, & building in Rosemary Beach. Then, our address was 5 Main St. In 2000 Summer Kitchen moved to 74 South Barrett Square, then to our most known location, 60 North Barrett Square in 2004, & finally to our current location in 2015 at 78 Main Street.
As has been the case for over 23 years now neighbors meet neighbors as they walk in the door: sometimes on purpose, sometimes by chance. There is a sense of comfort & community reminiscent of neighborhoods long since gone.
Intimate eatery serving homey American fare in a laid-back interior or at front porch tables. Based on 204 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.2 stars. Price $$

The perfect place close to the beach if you are looking a quick lunch! Not lots of seating so put your name in early! We didn’t have to wait long and during you’re wait you can hit up the shops near by!

Had a lovely little breakfast here with the family on vacation. The food and service were both excellent, and they were very accommodating with my son’s dairy allergy. I had the French toast, my husband had the avocado toast, and my sister had an omelet, and all were great! Great location, just steps from the beach. We sat outside and the big umbrellas kept us shaded. Would definitely visit again.

Laid back spot at the end of Main St. Really good food and drinks. Wish they were also open for dinner.

We all loved our food! (Chicken sandwich and black bean burger) Atmosphere was great-cute street with outdoor seating. We were aggravated that my husband and I both asked if the truffle fries were included as a side. The waitress only told us yes and then there was a $2 upcharge for each of us.

Surprising we’ve never stopped in here previously! Exceptional service and great food. Especially loved the whipped feta and wrap. Amber was AWESOME and we loved discovering more the history of the cafe and area.

We arrived about 30 minutes before closing. We were aware and asked if it was ok and they were surprisingly very welcoming. They made us fresh coffee and were eager to serve us. All of the food was fantastic and the service put it over the top. We enjoyed the spicy chicken and the chicken salad wraps. Even the hummus and fries were delicious pairings. Even if you do not have room, the brownie sundae is out of this world with a fresh hot brownie and homemade ice cream.

Wonderful little hole in the wall! Waitstaff is friendly and the food is fresh and delicious. I ate breakfast and lunch there twice. They open at 7:30am, just in time to grab a to go coffee and walk the beach. I ate the granola w/ yogurt both days and lunch consisted of a black bean burger the first day and a kale salad the second. I would highly recommend this place if your looking for healthy food options!

Expect to pay more than you expect for mediocre food. I ordered to-go and was shocked to see gratuity included. What service did I receive for a take-out order that would deserve a 15% tip? When I asked them about it, they said this is standard. We’ll that’s a lie. The 20% included for parties of 6 or more is usually only at upscale restaurants, but it’s somewhat common. The 4% credit card surcharge is stingy, but understandable (plus they have a thoughtful explanation). The to-go included gratuity is just inconsiderate to customers.

Ordered this to go one day for lunch on the beach with the misses, I’m a burger freak when I go out of town, and this one was top notch. Perfect temperature and great flavor. Wife got the spicy chicken wrap and loved it. Only negative is the fruit “side” was subpar. For the price considering the area though…..you can’t go wrong here.

A nice cafe close to the beach with good food, but the staff seemed unhappy to be there.
