Restaurants in Panama City Beach

“Lovely atmosphere and liked the food served hot n tasty. Must try fusion food options”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Local Steamer Seafood Market in PCB was AMAZING!! Everything was seasoned perfectly and portions were plentiful. We had the “Famous Royal Red Shrimp Platter” (left), “Giant Snow Crab Platter” (right), and “ Dave’s Jumbo Peeled Shrimp Platter” (not pictured but looks just like the 1st pic minus shells). There’s a dining area inside and also tables outside at the entrance. You order on a kiosk screen and grab your drinks then find a table and wait for them to cook it. The cook will let you know when it is ready. It is worth every penny!”

“Wow! Second year vacationing in PCB. Decided to try a new spot. Sharkys was my fav, until I ate here!! Fresh, hot food! Served fast! Our waitress, Becca, was wonderful. We never sat with an empty drink. We ordered Cajun Mac, pretzels and beer cheese, the daily special (gumbo) - DELISH!! Also the Candied bacon burger was my husbands favorite. Dessert was amazing, we tried the Limoncello cake with raspberry drizzle.”

“Topping off our delightful experience today was attentive Ashton with her friendly impeccable service. It was relaxing sitting under the fan next to the pool eating amazing food by the chef which this trip included Tuna Dip, She-crab Soup and Grouper Bites. Can't wait to return to try Grouper Low Country.”

“We have been coming to PCB for 10 or 12 years and can’t believe we missed trying this place. First off, the owners are awesome. The made fresh daily salsa is amazing as well as the smoked jalapeño sauce. We both ordered margaritas and they were the best we have ever had in Panama. We also both ordered burritos and they were outstanding. My wife said it was hands down the best burrito shes ever had and we eat Mexican at least once a week, frequently more. She had the Carlito's Burrito and I had the Big Brian with added queso, absolutely fantastic! Definitely worth a visit. For sure our new number one choice for Mexican cuisine in PCB. Great food, great service, great atmosphere!”

“Cassandra our server was so Nice and kept our drinks filled up! Our food was hot and delicious. My son got the cobia tacos and I got the loaded potato skins with the fried corn. Their fried corn is the best Corn I have ever had. We will be back soon.”

We had a little bit of everything—sweet, savory, and in between—and every bite was better than the last. The vibe was relaxed but lively, and the service was just as amazing as the food. 10/10 recommend treating yourself here. Brunch goals officially achieved! 🥂🍳🧇”

“I'm really out of my league on this people I'm not a fan of Italian food, but I will share that my family of five loves it. Hope this helps. Staff were amazing and very friendly and service was great!”

“Forget about all the beach side overpriced seafood. This is one of the best sushi places I’ve been to. And the wait staff is the best experience I have ever had at a restaurant.”

“Fun night and really great show. Music is lively and brings back a lot of memories. Band is very talented. Dooling pianos were exceptional. Meal was tasty. A must do experience while in PCB.”

“They were very busy and sat our large group as quickly as they could. The pizza and garlic knots were amazing! When we visit PCB, we will be back!”

“Yummy yummy roll and spicy girl roll are my husband and I's 7 year long favorite sushi rolls at this restaurant, respectively. Pro tip - Order from their website. Best sushi around in my opinion. Nice place for a date! We used to eat in more when we lived closer. Affordable and delicious, you must try it before you pass it up or before you leave town if you are visiting the area. Family friendly place as well nice calm atmosphere, great staff.”

“We wanted sushi! We got it!”

“We had a phenomenal dinner here celebrating the first night of our babymoon! Ally (our waiter) the hostess, and (assuming) the manager were all so accommodating and they even wrote a sweet note to celebrate! We will for sure be back!”

“We found this hole in the wall when looking for something besides seafood and steak at PCB. It was a nice change up.
The place is small, and appeared to be run by a very nice older couple. The restaurant was not loud at all like most of the eateries here. Very clean with the booths/tables all in good shape. There is nothing fancy about this place, which isn't a bad thing.
The couple were pleasant and respectful all evening. They did struggle a little on keeping up with the number of patrons, but no one seemed to mind at all.
The food was good. I had the chicken yakitori. It's basically a Japanese version of chicken skewers. The soy sauce seemed to be a little burnt on the plate at first, but a nice flavor. The yum yum sauce tasted freshly made. The chicken was good.
A nice place to eat if your party wants to get away from...the party.”

“the soups Pho are the best I ever eat. many thanks”

“Tray was a phenomenal server! He made sure to bring the most excellent butter (which was asked for) for the crab legs. Very quick service and great food overall. I would definitely recommend.”

“While attending a board meeting and on a lunch break I tried the grouper sandwich blackened. The crisp lettuce and tomato with a slice of red onion was delicious. But the aioli sauce made the tender thick fillet of awesome fish perfect. Seasoned just right and a bistro salad to start I wasn’t hungry for dinner till much later. It was fantastic! The salad with cranberry and cucumber and cherry tomatoes was amazing. The sliced toasted almonds were a nice touch. Blue cheese dressing on side of course. My server was very attentive and friendly. Very kind lady as were all the staff were during my stay. Enjoy”

“Nicky was the best Server! We will be back☕️”

“Stopped in late on NYE and we were greeted by an incredibly friendly staff and crazy fast service. Best Waffle House experience we’ve ever had, and really one of the best customer service experiences we’ve ever had anywhere. All the staff were friendly, however Cam was our server and he was fantastic- born to be in the hospitality/customer service industry.”

“Sausage biscuits and gravy. 2 eggs and hot tea. Excellent. we go every morning. can't beat the price and service..Wait staff are awesome and friendly. thank you”

“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.”

“Food is fresh, better location than the others in the area. Service is better! Always clean and kept up!”

“I’ll forever revisit an “outdated” affordable “never brought home bed bugs” beachfront property located smack between a Walmart that I cannot live without daily and Pier Park. Just keep the little pool open later than 9pm..😊”

“Best burger ever!! Drove from Wisconsin to get the best burger around!!”

“Their unsweetened tea is to die for. 🤪”

“I got a smoked chicken quesadilla today. It was by far the best I’ve had. I rate it up there with p**** and watermelon.”

“Ok, hunt & Gather is the best restaurant in bay county. Reminds me of restaurants in San Diego. Top notch quality food. Friendly staff. Cool atmosphere. Off the beaten path on the beach. Dishes you can't get anywhere else. Rare game type of plates such as elk and bison. Kimchi baked oysters was amazing for an appetizer. We tried the lamb lollipops, octopus, as well.”

“Couldn’t say enough great things about this little gem! Delicious 👏”

“Absolute best cauliflower crust pizza on the planet! Sophia is a doll and so pleasant. Great servers make great experiences!”

“My daughter and I visited on 8-6-25 and had a great experience! I was anticipating a long wait but there was nobody in line, possibly due to a storm rolling in, but the guy working that day kept apologizing profusely for the wait (which there wasn’t one, but he also said he was trying to hurry to avoid us getting rained on) he made great drinks, great food recommendations, and it was a great experience! The dirty sodas and the energy teas were fantastic! Highly recommend”

“Everything from the food to service was amazing! I got hibachi chicken and it was cooked to perfection. Stephen was my server and made sure we I had everything I needed. Highly recommend.”

“We had a great first experience on a busy Saturday morning. Signed up online for the waitlist, told us about an hour-gave us time to drive there, check in, and wait about 5 minutes. The outdoor patio was so nice with our dogs, everyone’s food was great, loved the cocktail menu! The women who checked us in and our server were both friendly. Will definitely return again on our next trip to the area.”

“The food was delicious and the service fast definitely bang for your buck will return”

We had the curry goat with pasta, peas and rice. We also had the Manish soup and a veggie plate with cabbage, calleloo, plantains, with peas and rice. Everything was wonderful and Chales did a great job of meeting all of our request. If your looking for authentic Jamaican food this is the place.”

“Food & service was great. Gets very packed but wait was not long. Similar to a waffle house. They have a breakfast buffet but we chose to order breakfast platters. Very busy & loud.”

“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.”

“Food was amazing!! Their fried chicken is the best tasting and the pork chop was delicious and soooo tender. You could cut the pork chop w a fork. Yummy. The poppyseed salad was the best and the green beans ooh, so good! But the sweet potato I couldn't get enough...yummy, yummy, yummy! I'm too full to eat dessert but they let you take that home w you. Our waitress, Kaitlyn, was so sweet and attended to our every need. A place we will recommend to our friend's and family. Now to go and walk off those extra calories. Haha! Well worth the extra calories!!!!”

“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”

“Stacey was our server and she is the best!!!!! We enjoyed our time there!!!”

“We have tried three different Mexican restaurants around town and this was the best food by far. It wasn’t outstanding or anything but definitely the best in town. I don’t recommend the fajitas. I ordered the steak and chicken combo fajitas and they were very plain no seasoning and they didn’t come out sizzling. My daughter got the carnitas plate and it was delicious. The only complaint I have is the staff. The lady at the front, didn’t even greet us, or smile one time, just asked how many, and seated us. And our server never came back to refill our water or to see if we needed anything else.”

“AWESOME in every way! Lauren and Becca are super friendly and quick behind the bar. The food is delicious, and the cocktails mouthwatering. We return here every year during our week long vacation because they never fail us. Plenty of TV's for sports action , and a pool for a cool dip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND by my husband and I. NOTE: We tried the Barefoot Hideaway down the road, but left after being seated (inside, which was somewhat stale and smelly), and waiting for about 8 minutes without being acknowledged by a server. It was NOT busy at the time. DISAPPOINTED. Will not go to that location again. Go see Becca and Lauren. THEY ROCK!!!”
