The restaurant partners with local fishermen daily to provide their customers with the freshest seafood possible. Where Y’at collects day boat fish regularly, sourced from local fisherman who run charters or fish full time. Now that spring is here, they are bringing in Snapper, Trigger Fish, Amberjack and Grouper. This fish is not caught on multiple day trips and frozen on the boat overnight. It is caught daily and brought in to Where Y’at. That is what sets this restaurant apart.
“When you eat or shop at Where Y’at, you’re not just supporting this entity, you’re supporting local fishermen providing for their families as well,” said market manager Will Lumpkin.
It is definitely a family affair, says owner Paul Ruiz.
His son Courtney Lumpkin manages the kitchen for the restaurant and son Will Lumpkin manages the seafood market.
Plenty of fresh seafood items are available in the market, including Yellowedge/Scamp Grouper, Red Snapper and Trigger Fish.
Everything screams local with Where Y’at.
From sourcing fish, crab and shrimp directly from Emerald Coast fishermen to carrying local hot sauces, dip and products from Louisiana, Where Y’at Seafood loves working with its community members.
And the food is all made from scratch. That’s how you know it’s fresh and delicious. All their sauces, boudin, egg rolls, gumbo, etouffee, red beans and corn and crab soup are made from scratch in the kitchen. They bring in their Leidenheimer French Bread straight from NOLA for po’boys with Patton’s Hot Sausage.
Enjoy live music every Sunday from 4 to 7 p.m. from talented musicians like Robert Wayne Walkup, a local Navarre guitarist and songwriter who plays a collection of country and his own originals or David “Jukebox” Butler who plays just about any song you can think of on the piano.
Stay tuned to the restaurant’s Facebook for their upcoming events and live music.
Where Y’at takes care of their loyal locals, sometime saving their place at the bar, or knowing their order before they even place it.
“Like Cheers, Where Y’at is where everyone knows your name. This is where I came to be with my family because the people here are like family to me,” regular Kevin Jones said.
