“Had a birthday dinner for my wife here last weekend for a party of about 8 and the service was fantastic and the food delivered! Highly recommend!“

“Awesome food and the best staff on 30a!“

“Great atmosphere and awesome service“

“It was our first time going, and we weren’t sure what to expect, but as we were pulling in the parking lot, a man rolled down his window and told us the food was awesome and to try the pork chops. We tried the simple starter. Bread, oil, and herbs. Simple but flavorful! Highly recommend I had the side summer salad and Krioyo pasta. The salad, no joke, was amazing. Full of color and flavor, might be the best salad I’ve ever eaten. The pasta was a generous serving, creamy and spicy with sausage and shrimp, full of flavor! My husband had the pork chops, cheese grits, and fries (I wish he got the collards instead of the fries, but it *was* his meal, so…). The cheese grits were a delicious surprise to me. So, so, so good. If we go back, I’m definitely ordering them (and the collards). The pork chops were, true to our parking lot critic’s word, awesome. I will definitely return. The atmosphere was laid back and wonderful, the food delicious, and the team members were fantastic. 10 out of 10 recommend! I’ve included pictures in the comments, because I love real life pics of food!“

“Food was pretty good, especially their breakfast sandwiches, but a little on the expensive side for what you’re getting. It’s inlet beach so whatdya expect. Not bad, but could improve the business with more courteous staff, and slightly lower prices. You price where you profit, so maybe I’m wrong it’s a good area so.“

“While On vaca in PCB we ate at Salty Sue’s the first day. Everything was good. We had blackened grouper which was cooked perfectly. Fish and chips, calamari, fried oysters, were all very good as well. Two of us went back our last night for the grouper again. This is the only place where you can get cobbler of the day as a side dish with a meal. My sides were steamed broccoli with butter and a tasty blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Well done Salty Sue’s! We will be back every time we r in PCB“

“Amazing food, service and atmosphere. We came with all of my family including children and we had an amazing time. Wonderful true gem in 30A with authentic food and amazing chef, sous chef and service.“

“My wife, mother-in-law, and I enjoyed a fantastic Mother’s Day brunch at Edward’s in Rosemary Beach. They’re typically only open for dinner, but we were fortunate to experience one of their special daytime brunches—and it was a standout from start to finish! Jimmy, the GM, welcomed us and had us seated quickly on their covered patio, which was perfect even with the steady rain. The chef created a beautiful brunch menu for the occasion, and our server, Kiyonta, was friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations. We started with Deviled Eggs, the Seasonal Fruit Plate, and the Caesar Salad—each dish fresh, flavorful, and elegantly presented. For our entrées, we chose the Shrimp and Grits (incredible!), the Lox and Avocado, and Edward’s Omelet. Every bite was delicious, and the plating was as impressive as the flavors. We ended our meal with a trio of desserts: the housemade ice cream sandwich, crème brûlée, and key lime pie. Each one was delightful, but the ice cream sandwich may have stolen the show. Huge thanks to the Edward’s team for making our rainy Mother’s Day feel special and memorable. If you’re in Rosemary Beach, Edward’s MUST be on your list!“

“After staying in the WaterColor Community for 10+ years each summer, I have never experienced that type of disrespect. Worse customer service ever. I do not wish that type of behavior on my worse enemy. Never again.“

“Looking for the best night out fine dinning?...Well, you found it in Paradis. The Atmosphere is cozy chic in paradise & the food is to die for. The Smoke Tuna Dip started our adventure of yumminess. I chose the Red Snapper dinner which was so tender & each bite was loaded with such flavor. The Crusted Lobster Grouper dinner was a power house of amazing flavor.
The description of each dinner got us intrigued to say YES to the dish. We are so happy we did!
This place is a no brainer. Reviewed by a local... Peaceful Funky hoops“

If you think you want the 16oz, nope… get the largest size they have! The atmosphere was inviting and relaxing! The baked goods were fresh & delish! The staff are friendly & helpful! Can’t wait to return for our next family vacay soon! 100% Recommend!“

“Today was our first visit to Shades Bar & Grill. We were there for lunch & the food & service (our server was Sarah) could not have been better. We ordered the chicken & sausage gumbo, Philly cheesesteak & the chicken jalapeño ranch wrap. Our sides were onion rings & sweet potato fries, however we had a hard time making a selection because of the many great food options to choose from. All the food was delicious & Sarah was a top notch server who was friendly, prompt & efficient. Definitely recommend & will visit Shades again when back in the area.“

“We had a fantastic breakfast at Waffle House in Panama City Beach!
From the moment we walked in, the entire team gave us such a warm and friendly welcome—it really made us feel at home.
The service was excellent throughout, with everyone smiling, checking on us, and making sure we had everything we needed.

We ordered Texas Sausage sandwiches, waffles, and coffee—and everything was delicious! The food came out hot and just the way we wanted.The waffles were golden and fluffy, and the sandwiches were hearty and full of flavor.

It’s not every day you get such great service and food together—thank you to the amazing staff for making our family breakfast so enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in town!“

“This was a great place for breakfast while visiting Rosemary Beach. It was a short bike ride and the atmosphere was lively in the morning. We took our doughnuts and hot chocolate to go and there was no wait. There was a long line to be seated, so give yourself lots of time if you’re hoping to eat-in.“

“the band was awesome! service was ok. 10 $ for a 16 oz beer is rediculous.“

“The staff and food at wild olives is exceptional!! Great bartenders, and amazing management staff!“

“this is one of the best wine shops I have been to. I was looking for a special wine and I asked if they would get it. With in a week they called and told me to come get it. There prices are amazing also“

“We went here last night 6.19.25 & Paris was our waitress and she went above and beyond. This place was packed from the moment it opened, we were her first night table of 12& she instantly had a bigger table of 15 and she handled both with grace and the most professionalism! We will 100% be back because of the food and Paris! Also, the food was so amazing. Great portion sizes! Outside there is a pool full of alligators that you can look at while you wait!“

“Our first trip to Pescado was an unforgettable one! We had reservations and when we got there the hostess informed us that there was a seat outside if we wanted it. Little did we know, it was one of the best tables in the house! Our server was Hannah, and she was incredible! Her in depth of knowledge of the menu, and her ability to communicate it was impressive. Even more so, she wasn’t trying to “sell us” on anything. She answered our questions directly with granular details that enabled us to not only make a decision but to have the utmost confidence in what we were ordering. And SHE DIDN’T MISS! Everything we ordered was superb. We were able to have a nice experience on our “parents night out” without being rushed. So often restaurants along 30A are trying to get you in and out as quickly as possible and that was simply not the case. Lastly, compliments to the chef and kitchen staff. Everything that we ordered was excellent. We’ve lived all over the country, from LA to Miami, and had the opportunities to eat at several high end restaurants (including many with Michelin stars) and Pescado absolutely competed with many of those. We’ve eaten at numerous places along 30A as we have been vacationing here for 11yrs and I can tell you with 100% confidence we will be back at Pescado next summer! Hoping we can snag Hannah and an outdoor seat once again! Thank you for an incredible meal, experience, and a memorable night for the (4) of us getting a rare “night out” away from the kids.“

“We traveled to the beach for Spring Break with a group of teenage boys. They spent an evening here watching college basketball and had a great time! Thank you for being a family-friendly place that I felt comfortable letting them go. ☀️🌴“

“Walked in a was immediately greeted by Mr. G! He was awesome! He talked to our toddler and played frozen songs for her. Then gave her a hat and took a family photo for us. The food was fantastic and was placed in front of us within 5-6 minutes. He was so incredibly kind. Will try and come back on our next trip here.“

“Had the caperse grilled cheese (Wow that rhymes I just realized) and oh my goodness! The balsamic vinegar with the tomato soup AND the tomato soup was incredible! Also, the food comparing to the other food trucks are a bit cheaper which is great for someone who doesn’t want to spend much money here. Anyway, definitely very close to being the best grilled cheese place I ever been to! Try this place!“

“Our waitress ( Chancey) was exceptional. This was a “ birthday to remember” with excellent service and food. Will definitely be going back.“

“When relaxing on the beach it’s so nice to have this place close by! The fries were absolutely amazing and the burger is just what I needed after being in the water all day. The buffalo chicken wrap was really good too :) took this great pic with my burger when I got it, I couldn’t resist!“

“This is a really great place to stop and get a cup of coffee in the area. Heads up - It is usually busy. But they do work very fast and the line will clear quickly. I really like to get a hot latte. It's nice sitting outside and watching the world go by. Inside is small with limited seating, it really seems more designed to get a cup of coffee on the go. I really love this coffee shop. Thank You“

“Gluten free grilled cheese was amazing!!!!“

“one of the coolest streets in America. Great Omelets. Great Service! Awesome outdoor dining! Great place to eat and people watch. Overall great place by the sea.“

“We were in the area for a week and this was our favorite meal, service, and atmosphere! Laid back beach vibe with delicious food - just what we were looking for to end our week.“

“We have enjoyed Havana Beach many times. The dishes are all very thoughtful and yet not overdone. We dined outside and everyone said their cocktails were the best on 30A. My mocktail was amazing - green with herbs/jalapeño - nice to have one that wasn't just juice. They brought out a lovely treat to end our celebration at the conclusion of the meal.“

“Tim the owner stole from me and added on a tip that was not authorized.“

“This is a wonderful place to meet and eat. Fancy upscale atmosphere. No wait when we arrived for brunch. But it filled up as we were leaving. Great seating inside and especially outside. Beautiful ocean and sunset views. Nice menu. Good prices. And a huge shoutout to the kitchen staff. Everyone was friendly and working super hard. Great live music. Cool vibe feel. Good service. Only complaint would be the bumble bees 🐝“

“Bud & Alley's is the best waterfront dining in Seaside and likely all of 30A. The breakfast is particularly excellent, and the staff is attentive and kind. They fed our large group and everyone loved it. The Longleaf Writers Conference is a big fan of Bud & Alley's - a supporter of our local educational outreach program for ten years! (The rooftop bar for sunset can't be missed.)“
