Holiday Hibachi
Holiday-Week Hibachi When Nobody Wants to Cook in the Rental Kitchen
Beach holidays need a signature dinner that does not wreck a vacation-rental kitchen. Book Friendsgiving, Christmas week, or New Year early — those travel weeks fill as soon as the house is confirmed.

Quick answer
Can you book hibachi for Friendsgiving, Christmas week, or New Year on 30A?
Yes. Holiday-week dinners use the same packages as the rest of the year: $60 per adult, $30 for ages 5–12, $500 minimum, $200 deposit. Christmas week on 30A and Destin fills early — reach out as soon as the rental is confirmed. The chef cooks outdoors and packs out so the rental kitchen stays usable for leftovers, gifts, and the rest of the trip.

The grill comes to the house. You are not turning a vacation kitchen into Thanksgiving prep.
Mixed holiday diets at one table
Send notes with the headcount. Peak weeks are not the time to discover three vegetarians at the grill.
Skip peak-week restaurant waits
30A and Destin restaurants are slammed those weeks. The house dinner is the reservation you actually control.

See full menu and pricingDo you book Christmas week on 30A?
Yes — those dates fill early. Reach out as soon as your rental is confirmed.
Is Friendsgiving hibachi better than a 30A restaurant?
For a house full of friends, yes when outdoor cooking is allowed. You control the time and keep the group at one table instead of a peak-week waitlist.
How early should we book holiday travel weeks?
As soon as the house is confirmed. Christmas week and New Year are calendar-limited, not menu-limited.
Will the chef use the rental kitchen?
No. The chef uses the outdoor mobile grill and packs out that cooking area. The rental kitchen stays available for leftovers and the rest of the trip.
Can mixed holiday diets book one grill?
Yes when the notes are in the booking with the headcount. Peak weeks need that list early.
What should the holiday host provide?
Confirmed rental, outdoor-cooking permission, tables and chairs, place settings, holiday headcount with diets, and a covered outdoor backup.
