High Tide Daiquiris & Mimosas
Owned and run by husband and wife team Scott and Laura, the two noticed that people were really wanting a quick yet healthy bite to eat and "started the business so that we could help fill that void.” Most regulars stop by two or three times per week to get a taste of the newest cocktail and charcuterie board options and to listen to live music.
The Gnarwhal
When we met up with Jake Wilson, Wes Brothers, and Ryan Shamburger, the energy was infectious. Since opening in May 2021, the food has become a staple for many. “We are all about having a good time and listening to our customers. If we know the reception was great on a dish, we try and fit it in wherever we can. We are guys that like to cook a mean meal, and we hope it transposes to their plate at the end of the night.”
The Sloop
Business partners Jamie Gallen and BR say when they met bartending years ago they had no clue their idea of a joint business venture would have taken them here. “We wanted a casual and eccentric dive bar with homemade food. We wanted to make a place and create an environment where they could feel comfortable. Ideally, we wanted The Sloop to remind people of casual life back home.”
Tast D Licious BBQ
“I ran out of gas in a small town in Texas where a guy helped me out on the side of the road," says owner Leroy Stevenson. "We stayed in touch over time and he taught me how to cook good ole’ southern BBQ. I knew we needed something for ourselves down here, so I reached back out to my friend from Texas last year and told him my idea. I hope people enjoy my cooking. I cook with quality ingredients and source out the best suppliers possible, and look forward to the next year.”
In Good Company Luxury Picnics
Cecilia Bush always had an eye and a love for design. When she pondered what she wanted to do for a side gig, it was a no-brainer that she needed something with a creative outlet. “I offer several packages for my clients to choose from to get a base plan, and then I go over theme and decor with them. Together, we create a luxury picnic complete with food tailored to each party size."
Beachin’ Eats
Serving up delicious tacos, sandwiches, snacks, and sides, the colorful Beachin’ Eats food truck can be seen all over south Baldwin County accompanying events. Owners and business partners David Buster and Jerr McCutchen have more than 30 combined years of experience, so it is no wonder why Beachin’ Eats main tagline is, “where the food shore is beachin.”
