Way back when, a “Summer Kitchen” was an outbuilding where all the household cooking was done in an effort to keep the heat out of the main house.  It only seemed appropriate to name the first restaurant here in Rosemary Beach, The Summer Kitchen & to invite the surrounding community in for a bite to help keep the heat out of their own kitchen.

Established in 1999, the Summer Kitchen was the first restaurant & commercial business in Rosemary Beach, Florida.  Our humble beginnings took place in a little red sandwich shack, and today you can find us nestled in below the Rosemary Beach Inn.
