The Tender Fenton, is a favorite,  a 10-ounce tenderloin and an order of Tin Top’s signature Oysters Fenton served in a bowl of house-made steak sauce. The dish is topped with two pieces of toasted French bread for dipping.

“It’s bittersweet,” the restaurant posted on Facebook. “Today is our last day at the location that has been home for the past 20 years.

“As this chapter comes to a close, we are excited to begin the next chapter in our new location on the Bon Secour River soon. We will announce our opening once our move is finalized. Our new address will be 17451 County Road 49 South in Bon Secour.

“Come by for one last meal at our original location if you can. If not, we look forward to seeing you soon at the new one.

“Thanks, everyone, for your love and support over the years. We look forward to seeing you soon.”

We are very happy for your family and employees! Tin Top has been our favorite since we came down in 2018 as snow birds and after moving to Foley in 2019, your restaurant remains, and will always be our go-to, number one favorite! Your menu and especially Stephanie and the rest of your wait staff have made us feel like family and we are so very comfortable! We can't wait to come to your new beautiful location and join in the celebration of the beginning of your new adventure! Judy and I will see you soon and wish you continued success!
