“We enjoyed a wonderful supper tonight at Saltwater Grill! It was our first time dining, and we’ll be forever customers. The restaurant has a fresh coastal vibe, and the food was delicious. Erin, our server provided excellent service, and her recommendation didn’t miss. We ordered the manic sushi roll, lobster spring rolls, and martinis to start. Then for our main entrees the prime rib, and catch of the day scallops. It was all wonderful. We ended with the cheesecake, which was absolutely delicious and enough for 5 people to share. If you’re ever in the PCB area, you must visit Saltwater Grill. It was excellent!”
“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!!!!”

“local here...we eat there quite often and when we have visitors in town. Had dinner last night and it was amazing, as usual! Aniston was incredibly attentive without being annoying, food presentation was beautiful, served hot and in a timely manner! We love that they offer the Locals card..it is very much appreciated! One of the owners is always present and touching tables. Highly recommend!!”
“Stopped here with my husband for a quick bite after leaving the beach. Very clean and the food was excellent. It was just what we needed after a long day outside. 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.”

“10/10 recommend The Pour! While pregnant pretty sure I was going once a week. Great quiet little spot for breakfast or lunch and my favorite coffee in PCB and PC combined. Highly recommend Farmers Market, best sandwich and always just as good every time I go. Mudd Puddle is my go to drink and it brings joy to my heart every sip I take. It’s a matcha tea with espresso and vanilla. 🤌🏼 While pregnant I’d go with decaf option to keep caffeine low but my goodness it’s just as good! Staff is wonderful every time I go! The baked goods are phenomenal. I can’t say enough good things about them. I’ve introduced this place to countless people and always love that it becomes a new staple staple as well.”
“My only complaint was it is freezing inside 🤣 the food is amazing!! So fresh and filling you don’t feel disgusting full when you leave the staff is super friendly and honest about reviews they hear from other guests which made the sauce choices helpful! It is like a fresh Mediterranean high quality chipotle it is affordable and I would go back again and again! 😋”
“Stopped in for baked goods Tuesday & had to come back today to sit in for breakfast because they were so good!! We had the Mexicana Latte and the hash brown bowl and it was amazing!!!! I love being able to get a full breakfast with a craft coffee. 10/10 will be back!!”

“We are staying at Edgewater and have enjoyed two meals this week at Ocean's. Food has been excellent, Victoria's drink of the week was the best, made with a cherry rum. She was our waitress both days, friendly, efficient and attentive!”
“Last night we celebrated our good friend Donna’s birthday at the KBBQ. There was 5 of us and we all left stuffed. The food was so delicious and the experience was just a bonus. Pha was our waitress and she was so patient with us and very helpful. We will be going back. Check them out.”

“Saki House 2 is definitely authentic Japanese cuisine. A lot of business on Panama City Beach claim to be authentic Japanese, but are not. I've been there. was stationed at Butler on Okinawa and have dined at many restaurants there, Tokyo, Osaka..all over Japan. Saki House 2 is definitely worth the visit and I'll always return. J”
“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”
“Fabulous food and service! The dough was just delicious and fresh and the homemade ranch dressing was just amazing! We will definitely be back!”
“the service and the food was excellent we went tonight and although it was a little bit crowded being St Patrick's Day we were celebrating our anniversary we will definitely go again and although I am on a restricted diet there were lots of great choices the elk Burger was fantastic and those brussel sprouts never thought I would be someone to Rave about brussel sprouts but there were so many flavors going on in there our waiter give us great suggestions and despite the crowd checked up on us often we thoroughly enjoyed it”

“It’s rare to find a team that works this effectively together while maintaining an air of fun. This is the best Waffle House I’ve been to. We both got the egg breakfast with grits and toast. Everything was cooked perfectly. Our waitress was super attentive with refilling our coffee and checking in with us. We sat at the counter and got to watch the team work their magic. It made me want to work here.”
“We booked a stay for Oct 11th thru the 14th. we did have a balcony, if you would call it that. Walk into our cell, I mean room, it instantly had an odor. We didnt even have a ceiling, It was trusses and a support beam. The floors were dirty, the chair thar should have been teal in color, was brown in areas. The walls were covered in dirty handprints. I'm sorry but it doesn't take but a few minutes to wipe the walls down. Instantly not happy. We were on the second floor, right beside the stairs to the pool and beach. We decided to walk to the beach, come back and make the best of it. We get back to the room, and it smells of sewage. The bathroom lights and fan quit working, which the bathroom was 4 steps from the bed. There wasnt any overhead lights. You had to use two rusted out lamps. The balcony door was hard open, had to shoulder it. The pictures used are bait. I can tell you, our room DID NOT look like the photos listed. We ended up staying for 2 hours which gave me enough time to book another room. We did have to eat the cost of the first night. But this was a true learning experience. I will never stay or recommend this place to anyone. Outdated is one thing, I can live with that. Cleanliness is where I draw the line. DO NOT STAY HERE!!! I wish I could remember the room number, but I was so disgusted by it, the lack of cleanliness and disappointment is all I can remember.”
“Fried Catfish tasted fantastic! But the potion size was incredibly small for the price. It literally looked like a child's plate. Don't order it if your hungry! This was the same as my first visit same order!”
“We ate there tonight and this will be included as one of our favorite places! We had the pot roast and fried chicken. The helpings were large, and absolutely delicious! We love that this restaurant supports our military, and Salutes America!”

“We stop here at least once every time we visit PCB and its always spectacular! There are so many different and unique flavors to try and they are one of the cheapest places to get such good ice cream around PCB as well! Always packed for good reason. Some of our families favorites are the turtle sundae, coconut ice cream and the cookie monster ice cream! The one pictured is just the small one!”
“I’ve never had a bad meal at First Watch. Today was the bacon parm hash. It was the bomb. Based on the menu picture there was more food in the bowl when the waitress brought it out. Also, staff is friendlier than most restaurants, just saying. Love this place will definitely be back”
“Great food, amazing customer service !”
“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.”
“Amazing place to eat! sherrie was very attentive! The food was delicious!”

“My husband and I always make it a point to come here for breakfast whenever we’re on vacation, and it never disappoints. The grits are absolutely amazing and one of my favorite things on the menu. They remind me of my grandmother’s homemade grits, especially after I mix in my eggs and bacon.
The gentlemen working behind the bar were incredibly kind and a pleasure to talk with. They had strong accents, so I didn’t catch everything they said, but they were friendly and welcoming throughout our visit.
Our waitress was fantastic as well. She made sure our coffee cups were always full and checked on us regularly without being overbearing.
We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in town for vacation. This place has become one of our favorite traditions!”
“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.”
“Absolutely loved the place excellent food cold beer in a frosted mug. Marlo our waitress was excellent we really enjoyed our dining experience”

“Omggggggggfeeeeee... We ordered the aguachile, quesabirria pizza, tamales, fajitas, chickentaco salad and more. This is legit, the first restaurant we loved E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!. Our taste buds were having a darn party!! I am picky with my Mexican food. As a Mexican Texan, I fully recommend this Mexican food❣️”
“NOTE: could NOT resist trying it before taking a photo)) I have been to a few of playas locations at home, but this one stood out! For how small the lobby was and how packed out with customers, my bowl was ready in under 2 minutes after ordering! I was shocked to hear my name called that quickly for how busy it seemed! Shout out to the staff you guys are awesome.”
“Just wanted to shout out to everyone who comes to this great place on the beach. I want to give a special thanks to the owner Murdock. We have a ministry that helps people that has life controlling issues. He knew our center needed bikes for our students that live here so they could get to and from work. Yesterday he came by the center and dropped off four bicycles as a donation to our ministry. It’s really good to see business owners in our community help an outreach like ours. Thank you again for your kindness. You’ve always been a blessing to our mission here in Bay County.”
“For an authentic experience, go here!
Prime location right across the street from the beach. Walking here, or drive. There's parking right outside. It isn't about the food. The food is comfort food, as you'd make at home. Large portions for a decent price. You should spend your money here because of the atmosphere. Nostalgia. We all want to experience it - and hold it in a special place. The ambiance is worth the sit. The staff is phenomenal, friendly and attentive! The owners are wonderful. They treat their staff well (and the staff has worked at the establishment for quite a number of years). Their dedication to the owners prompted us to find out why!)... By our 2nd day eating there, the week before Memorial Day weekend, we saw why! Family owned and ran. The owners were working in the kitchen and at the counters alongside their staff. This is what we're missing in America these days. Skip the franchises. Support this local gem before you head to the beach!”
“Absolutely amazing famliy owned & operated place to eat right on the beach! Got to meet everyone in the family & have small convos with each one. Great Food, Family & definitely worth stopping by to check them out✌️”
“People leaving a 1 Star rating and never have been in the place...ridiculous! Whoever monitors this site...if anyone...should remove idi0ts like this.”

“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!!!”

“Runaway island was an incredible place to get married, we had the best experience with them. Devin is fantastic, so communicative and helpful. The food, drinks, and service were amazing. The beach itself is beautiful, the upstairs event space is perfect. We are beyond satisfied and we can't recommend them highly enough!”
“We reserved for xmas dinner. We were treated very well by all the staff! The buffet had a wonderful selection and everything was absolutely delicious!! Turkey, Beef and Ham perfectly done. We are definitely coming back again before leaving town after the holidays. Thankyou to all the staff for a very memorable Xmas.”

“We ended up here at Pompano Joe’s after another restaurant had an hour wait. We only had a 15-20 minute wait here. We were able to look at the posted menu outside and figure out what we wanted as this was our first time eating here. We were seated in a covered outdoor area with pretty lights. We didn’t have to wait too long to order or to be served our order. Our waitress Ashley was so great. My husband called his order of the garlic grouper the best seafood he’s ever had. My seafood boil was excellent. The shrimp is a little tough but crab legs were exceptional. We were extremely pleased with our experience here. My son got a kids meal and I thought it was cool how it was served in a frisbee that he could keep.”

“The staff was extremely kind and the restaurant was very clean. They have good portions especially for the price. I got the orange chicken with fried rice and egg roll and it was honestly the best I’ve ever had. It’s unlike any I’ve had before, but in a great way. The orange chicken was plated on two fresh orange slices and had charred orange peel and chili pepper in the sauce. Everything was extremely fresh. We had the Reese’s Happiness and Peach Bliss rolled ice cream afterwards and 10/10 would recommend! We will definitely be back next time we’re in PCB!”
“Stopped by Potbelly and had a great experience. The food was fresh and delicious, the restaurant was clean and well maintained, and the service was excellent. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made sure everything was just right. I’ll definitely be back!”
“They are very friendly and really great I definitely recommend them to everyone to try them”
“I highly recommend them! We went for the first time today and it was better than I expected. This casual and quaint place is owned by a couple from Tuscany Italy. They make their own bread daily, make their own pasta, serve authentic Italian food, pizza, pasta and panini sandwiches, and of course espresso and cappuccino and serve beer and wine. I felt like was back in a cafe in Italy.”
“The food is incredible! I have always enjoyed everything I have had here. one of our families favorite spots in Panama City. Whether you are a local or just visiting this is a must go to location. The staff and owners are all so kind and support the local community as well.”
