Restaurants in Panama City

“Wait was long, but worth it. They call them tenders, but they were closer to breasts. $10.99. Appetizer sampler platter was huge. Going back again 2 days later.”

“Over and over”

“Was our first time eating here, and honestly we loved it so much we ate it again the day before we left! Delicious food, and the guys running it was phenomenal, They were so kind and generous, I wish more places we're like this! we will definitely be coming back when we vacation again!”

“Best meal we had all week. The Grouper sandwich and Mahi- Mahi were delicious and the hush puppies were on point. The best part of the meal, as crowded and busy as they were, was our service from our server Earlene. I can't say enough good things about this young lady. Good manners and service all wrapped up with personality. We will definitely be back!!”

“Coming from Tampa , I’m ecstatic to have found the best Cuban cuisine !!! It’s the real deal yall, come check them out !!! And they serve breakfast tooo !!!!”

“Staff was accommodating and friendly during an Octoberfest event. Food was amazing!!! And I am picky! I had the Rockin Bod which was perfect for someone not wanting the extra bread. The smokiness of the pulled pork was amazing, the cucumber salad was refreshing to lighten up the fact that I has to try the truffle fries 😋 Hubby had the wings and they were meaty and so moist but caramelized as well. The IPA selection was perfect!!!”

“Very good food at a good price.”

“We love the Press and are there every chance we get. The staff are amazing, fun and offer the best customer service of any place to eat or drink in our area! The selection of sugar free drink offerings beats any other coffee shop hands down! We also love the addition of the outdoor seating and will be taking advantage of it when it cools down outside!”

“If I could rate them higher I would, not only do they have amazing tasting coffee my favorite is 'Birdie Brew" but their avocado toast is the delicious. The Drip has never been just a coffee shop to me they are like family, the warm welcome you get as you walk in and the exceptional service you receive makes you want to stay and hangout, if you have children the indoor playground is a must on those hot days. We absolutely love it, such an awesome place in our community.”

“Great food and service was outstanding!”

“Absolutely love this place!”

“Arrived at 10:05 for lunch because breakfast ended at 10:00. One server took our drink order and said our server would be taking our order shortly. 10 minutes later she took our order. Meanwhile over the next 30 minutes several customers arrived and were served drinks and meals. Our server returned a couple of times with excuses why our food wasn't ready. After waiting patiently for 1 hour we got up and left. No one approached us to ask why we were leaving. This was our first visit to Big Mamas and will not be returning.”

“Mosey's is the best spot in PC..”

“Best view for waterfront dining. Food is fantastic. We male sure to stop in every year while on vacation”

“My daughter and I had an excellent meal there today. Prices were good and excellent service. The restaurant was the cleanest I have ever seen! The skinny Margarita was made with fresh ingredients was awesome. DJ & Kelly”

“My first time going to The Grocery Kitchen and Taproom the food was absolutely amazing. Me and my mother both got the chicken piccata and shared the fried pickles and when I say that’s the best I’ve ever had it really was good. I’ve had fried pickles at other restaurants and they’ve always been greasy and paper thin, those were not greasy and the voodoo sauce was spicy but really good so if you don’t like spice, just don’t dip it in the sauce, but the pickles by themselves are still good. Definitely going back again soon.”

“Great food! Great service! And plenty of TVs on game day.”

“Wow! Today was my 1st time ever eating at Rodeos. All of the staff were attentive and very friendly. The steak was absolutely amazing! I will be back ??”

“Good food, drinks, and service. Went for lunch. Tuna dip was great! The crab cakes were good, but they could have less cheese so you could taste the crab. Parmesan fries would be better if they had freshly grated Parmesan instead of powdered looking cheese. My husband got the buffalo chicken sandwich. He liked it. Over all it's a pretty good restaurant for PC. Most restaurants are just okay. We cook better food in our own home.”

“Tried for the first time and did not disappoint! The butter chicken pizza was soooo flavorful and the perfect amount of spicy. Definitely my new favorite pizza place!!!!”

“Real di@ks 😂. Was a good time and the food was amazing. Three people in my group had never been.”

“My team and I celebrated our company Christmas dinner at Neons 72 tonight. They hit it out of the park! They really made it special for us. The food, service, and decorations were awesome! Thank you to their entire team!!!”

“By far the best I have ever tasted....and Karn is one of the best people I have ever meet....thank you”

“Always great food and fantastic service! I could eat at Fins everyday😛”

“Our food was great, my husband said his first was a tad under seasoned but still tasty. The kitchen prepare his fried platter with grilled scallops so that I could have one. They have a HUGE gluten free selection. I was able to eat an appetizer, main, and dessert! Our visit was the first time in years where my only issue was trying to decide what to eat because I had so many options there!”

“Friendly service and a very clean place with great food! The views from here cannot be beat for dinner 😍”

“Good Food Love This Place Will Most Definitely be Back🤞😋🤤”

“Everything that they have to offer their.”

“Delicious food! And the serving staff is absolutely amazing!”

“Went for Veterans day. It was very busy as to be expected. Despite the dinner rush and lower bills that would come in from the comped meals our server Katrina was great.
We were seated surprisingly quick after initially being quoted a 30 minute wait. She apologized when it took a bit longer to get our sons drink (milk) because it needed to come from the bar. Checked on us multiple times and got our meals out in a timely manner. Overall we received great service under the higher pressure of a busy night like this.”

“Egg Foo Yong. One of the better tasting in Panama City
Mongolian Beef- about to take a trip, packing with me.
VERY tasty. I try to visit whenever I'm in Panama City.”

“A nice option for breakfast while on vacay. Very friendly and great seevice!”

“Simple coffee shop/kiosk located post-security at the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport and located next to Gate 1, across from the restaurant on the concourse. In addition to coffee, there is also a selection of bakery items. Usually line moves fairly quick, but can get a bit crowded in terms of the line since it is right in the gate area.”

“Iexcellent service”

“Waited about an hour to order but they were busy and one person was working, so I’m not complaining. Sandwiches were correct and tasty as always. Had the cutest interaction with two other costumers there to pick up an online order.”

At 12 everyday they play the Star Spangled Banner, everyone stops and honors the flag. A true patriotic establishment. I have never been disappointed. 23rd Street location in Panama City Fl”

“We love going there and listening to music!”

“The bacon biscuit was not was I was assuming, I’m not sure what it was. It was honestly super horrible. The staff was very friendly, I will try again but for coffee not the food!”

““I’m lovin’ it… but my gluten-free stomach is not.”

Ah, McDonald’s — the land of golden fries, drive-thru dreams, and late-night cravings. You’ve been there for me at 2 a.m. after a road trip, during toddler tantrums, and on days when cooking feels like an extreme sport. Consistency is key, and you deliver: salty fries, burgers that hit the nostalgia button, and those little Coke cups that somehow taste better than all other Cokes in the world.

BUT — and it’s a sesame seed-covered but — my gluten-free self is out here in the corner munching on hash browns and apple slices like it’s a kindergarten snack. Throw me a (bun-less) bone! A gluten-free burger bun? A nugget made of dreams and rice flour? I’m not asking for filet mignon. Just let me join the party.

Still, four stars for always being there, for being affordable, and for letting me eat fries with zero judgment. I’ll keep coming back... just with my own sad Tupperware sometimes. 😅”

“I work in Pier Park and we eat here all the time. They are amazing staff is super friendly always helpful making suggestions on what they think you would like.

Parking: Lots of close by parking”

“We eat here regularly. I’m have been very impressed with the “to go” staff. Very very nice and polite. Have had males and females and everybody seemed very nice and had no problem checking when I ask to verify all my sauces. Lol. This shows great management! See ya soon! P”

“Relaxing, inviting, exceptional service, delicious food. 💯”

“Had a wonderful dinner here!!! Our waiter was named Cole and he was AMAZING!!! All staff was attentive and kind! Food was excellent!!!”

“Delicious ice cream! Had the Creole Praline- it was divine! Young man working was very friendly and patient! (9/25).”

“Serenity at 7 Brew is truly AMAZING! She is always so incredibly sweet and welcoming, and she has such a warm, positive energy that instantly makes your day better. You can tell she genuinely cares about what she does—she’s extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and so good at her job.

Every drink she makes is perfect—consistently delicious, balanced, and made exactly right every single time. I never have to worry when Serenity is working because I know my drink is going to be amazing. She goes above and beyond to make sure customers are happy, and it really shows.

7 Brew is lucky to have her! Serenity is a true gem, and she deserves all the praise and recognition. 🌟💙”

“Great pizza and friendly service. Yes, pizza a little over priced. However, it was thin and cooked perfectly. Will return when back in the area. Thanks Carolina!”

“Tarpons restaurant was our choice for breakfast, as we visit the Indigo hotel marina in Panama, FL. Our server Shalondra she was prompt and very kind along with her team mate Zack.

“Ate lunch at Big Mama’s today for lunch. Had chicken and dumplings, collars, navy beans, and corn bread. Absolutely delicious. Excellent service. Highly recommend.”

“The food was top tier! Favorite spot in Callaway!”

“Pretty sure I was charged for the wrong item but the food was good and the bread sticks were so warm crispy yet soft and so yummy so I call it a win. I was too tired and didn't care.”

“This is indeed a commendable establishment, and the food was excellent. I rated the service at four stars primarily due to a slight delay, but I have no other complaints. We celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday here, and the occasion was quite pleasant. There was a minor issue with being charged for a birthday sundae, but upon pointing out the discrepancy between the store and customer receipts, it was promptly resolved. Otherwise, this is a wonderful dining spot with fantastic steaks, superb sides, and delicious appetizers. I highly recommend it, though perhaps avoid visiting during peak hours.”
