“If you’re ever in Panama City Beach and you don’t stop by Schooners to see Larry the bartender, you’re seriously missing out. Hands down, Larry is the best bartender I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting, no exaggeration! From the moment we sat down, he had us laughing, vibing, and feeling like locals. His energy is contagious, his drink making skills are next level, and his attention to every single guest is unmatched. Larry doesn’t just serve drinks and food…he creates an experience. Whether it was the perfect pour, the fun conversation, or the way he kept the bar flowing with effortless charm, he made our night unforgettable. This guy is a LEGEND. Do yourself a favor: grab a seat at the bar, order a drink from Larry, and enjoy your time. Cheers to you, Larry, you’re the real MVP of the beach! 🍹🔥”
“Raw and grilled oysters were superb, and what a fantastic environment and staff.”
“we are in town on vacation. we stopped in for dinner. the beers and food were incredible. Great atmosphere and service. 5 star!”
“We have been coming to Panama City Beach for years. I would have to say this was the best meal we have had. There were six of us and no one had a bad meal. The view from upstairs is amazing. We will be stopping in here to eat every trip from now on.”
“The snapper is great. Not many places have it. Also their Mai Tai is a true delight. It is the original recipe. The only
Place in PC where you can find the real thing. Other places say they can make it but no other place can. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great menu.”

Nestled in the heart of the St. Andrews/Panama City, this charming bodega delivers an elevated food and wine experience that goes beyond the ordinary. The moment you walk in, the ambiance sets the tone—warm, inviting, and stylish without being too pretentious.

“The closest to Louisiana crawfish that I’ve found in Bay county!!! 10/10!!”
“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 ??”
“We had an amazing time at BurgunBarrel! The space is absolutely adorable and the team was incredibly accommodating. Communication was seamless, and setting up everything was so smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. I’m already looking forward to hosting another event there. Highly recommend!”

“This is definitely a staple and one of the best restaurants to really uphold the influence and standards for the community. This is coming from a local… going on 32 and lived here since I was 5. They are one of a kind. I absolutely love the art and atmosphere. This bar is a an atmosphere like no other. Seth and Cat were absolutely amazing and offered wonderful customer service! If you get the chance I would recommend asking for them because they were also so knowledgeable about every drink and all of the food.”
“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.”
“We took a 3 hr tour with Anchor Charters and when we got back to the dock CPT Chris said the food here is good. He was right. There were six of us (4 adults/2 children) and there was something for everyone. The calamari was delish and we were surprised by the large portion. The blackened grouper was perfectly seasoned. The jalapeno cheese appetizers were super tasty as well. Everything was delicious and the waitress was excellent. Will be back!”
“Kathy is a wonderful server. She made sure we had everything we needed. The food is delicious. It was my parents 1st time and they enjoyed it very much. 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”

“Simple menu that gives everyone permission to be themselves and enjoy Top Tier selections that do not disappoint. Our server was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable as to answer any questions that was posed to her with such a lovely demeanor and great patience! It was Theme night so the live music and added bonus of seeing so many people just truly enjoying one another, made Harrison's the Place one must visit as many times as the law allows !”
“I just went there. It was fast and delicious. The guy who served was so kind and fast. But, I feel bad because I did a survey at the end that asked if I were offered beverage refill, and I said no. BUT, because was not needed at all. I mean it would be great if you modify the question because you want to pay fast and may misunderstand the question. Thank you!”
“Chips and dip was delicious. Enjoyed eating outside 5 stars per my grandson Tatum”
““B” is the best! Such a fun experience for my birthday weekend.🎉”

“The one in Panama City beach who delivered with Uber.., If this is the place the Chicken was burned or old it was horrible.. The fish had an ammonia smell like to it.. The rice jambalaya was very dry. Shrimp was sweet..not as in good..I do not advise you to go unless you are there to see them cook fresh ingredients.. 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.”
“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.”
“Great customer service & everything was fresh! You don't see many subways with both these days! As I sat there eating my lunch, The manager treated every customer like they were her best friend, so kind, & sweet! Also, the one lady with dreads was on top of keeping everything stocked, & she was making sure every customer smiled!! Most definitely satisfied with my experience today!😁”
“By far the best I have ever tasted....and Karn is one of the best people I have ever meet....thank you”

“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.”
“They were super helpful absolutely loved how the people at the window took the time to walk me through my drinks. To make sure that I had all the options and understood and I was able to get a sugar-free caramel sugar-free pie Frappuccino with oat milk. fantastic I recommend going to this place anytime you get a chance.”
“Alice’s was highly recommend by a local. I had grilled grouper and it was excellent! Best fish dinner I’ve had in a long time. Father-in-law had fried shrimp, also excellent! For desert I had bread pudding with a bourbon sauce, also excellent! I’ll definitely be back again!”
“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!”
“A great experience each visit. Games on the 6 televisions with lots of fun company to banter with. Margherita's aplenty, Captains punch flowing on a steady basis kept the laughs going well into a beautiful sunset. Highly recommend for that twice a year special evening of fun for grown-ups.”

“This place was amazing. For such a small corner store you wouldn’t think you’d find takeout Chinese food as good as China1. Food was hot, egg rolls were mouth watering, & the chicken chow mein was delicious.
We were staying in an area hotel & the cashier at China1 provided us plates & utensils for our meal. The best takeout Chinese I’ve had in a long time.”
“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 into our favorite Applebee’s here in Panama City Florida for some half-price appetizers and some great conversation. We met the bartender Jamie, who was so kind patient and very helpful with every need. We had to enjoy our meal. We are so very thankful to have met her for the first time and we feel she is very genuine in all that she does. We truly appreciate her and she made our experience here at our favorite Applebee’s the best it’s ever been thank you so much, Jamie. You are amazing Kerry and Lisa Merritt.”

“The lady on the counter on Thursday night was nice. Every time I come in the last few times she knows my name and knows what I order. You can tell that she not from the area. It’s nice to see the store look cleaner also when I come in. Someone should give her a raise. Thank you Beth”

“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”

““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. 😅”
“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 !!!!”
