Award Winner Spotlight: The Feast

Since 2009, The Feast in Holmes Beach has been a favorite dining spot on the Island, which is why it’s no surprise they took the 2023 Reader’s Choice Award for Specialty Gourmet. Well known for its gourmet pizza made with the highest quality ingredients, as well as a seafood-heavy menu and specialty items like escargot not found at many restaurants on AMI, the unique menu has kept people coming back for more than a decade.

Feast owner Chris Dale says one of the big reasons for the restaurant’s success is the variety they offer.

“The kids may want pizza, but the parents are looking for something a little more elevated,” Dale said. “Not many places on the Island offer this in one establishment. It usually means a trip to the pizza place, then another restaurant to get a seafood dish or some great pasta. At The Feast, everybody can get what they want in one place.” The Feast also offers a large variety of craft beers and a relaxed atmosphere that is warm, inviting and family friendly. Take-out is a big part of The Feast’s business. Whether it’s a pizza or the Lafayette (pictured), which is shrimp and lobster with roasted red peppers and button mushrooms in a spicy Cajun cream sauce, there is always something for everyone. If the menu isn’t enough, check out the specials list posted outside the restaurant.

A family can order from a variety of foods to satisfy everyone's tastes at The Feast.
