Frommer’s Review
Considered the first Emerald Coast restaurant, Staff’s started as a hotel in 1913 and moved to this barnlike building in 1931. Among the memorabilia on display are an old-fashioned phonograph lamp and a 1914 cash register. Staff’s tangy seafood gumbo has gained fame for this casual, historic restaurant. One of the most popular main dishes is the chargrilled amberjack served with gazpacho salsa. Main courses are served with baskets of hot, home-baked wheat bread from a secret 70-year-old recipe, plus salad and dessert. A pianist plays at dinnertime year-round.
