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.”

I've ordered before a couple of times but it is a hit or miss....I love their chicken livers and gizzards so I'm giving it 5 stars..Ask them for the times they make their chicken.”

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.”

“Absolutely delish! We enjoyed our dinner on the outside patio - felt like we were on a private date in Italy (just the 2 of us outside due to the rain but we requested it, loved it, didn't get wet and it was a great ambiance). The mozzarella ball appetizer is 10/10 amazing - along with everything else we had. Chatted with the owner several times - super nice guy and obviously cares about his business, he is right there side by side working with his employees - this is what GREAT business ownership looks like! If you haven't had a chance to try it out - YOU MUST GO!”

“I am a platinum IHG member who stays at this hotel at least once every year. I love everything about this place and it is the only hotel in PCB where I'll ever stay. On some visits, we never leave the hotel because everything you could ever need is right there. My only complaint about my 9/2023 stay is the way we were treated by a member of the hotel staff on our last night. We were walking through the parking lot on our way back from dinner. One member of our party happened to exhale vape smoke in the hotel parking lot. That prompted one of the hotel staff to become very rude and order us to the smoking area. He was so rude that we chose to simply walk past him and not even acknowledge that he was talking to us. I do understand that the hotel is completely smoke free but that staff member could obviously tell from our wristbands that we were hotel guests and could have been a little friendlier toward us. Because I did not want to ruin the last night of our vacation, I chose to let this event slide. However, if another staff member of this hotel is ever rude towards me or any other members of my party during future stays, I will immediately report them to hotel management. After all, my visits help to pay the salaries of the staff members and if I am not treated respectfully, I can find another hotel to support.”

“We stopped here with our Church Youth Group around 9AM last Friday. We had 16 people with us and all went in to order our meal. Some of us used the kiosk, but most went to the counter.
First of all, this has to be the cleanest McDonald's I have ever been in. Not only that, the place was very nice on the inside. Even had a large sofa.
Food came out quickly, hot, and each order was correct! Three of us ordered the Steak, Egg, and Cheese Bagel and came to the consensus that is was the best one ever ordered by any of us.
Staff was super friendly and the manager was actively taking orders and running out orders.
All in all, this location stands apart from all the other McDonald's I have ever visited and made for a great last stop on our trip to Panama City Beach!”
