“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!”
“Highly recommend! The bartender Tori was so sweet and helpful. The food was delicious, we got the fish tacos.”

“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!!!!”

“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.”

“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!”
“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”
“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.”

“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”
“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.”
“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.”

“Super service and wonderful waffles and bacon. Bree was our waitress and went above and beyond with excellent friendly service. Each time we’ve entered this restaurant we were greeted by all the people working there! The menu is fine tuned to be sure all their choices are outstanding. Definitely a keeper!”
“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.”
“Wonderful experience at this oyster bar restaurant. Great waitress service. The royal red shrimp was fantastic. However, my grilled salmon and corn was slightly overcooked. The grits were also great. Oyster Rockefellers were okay. Overall good experience.”
“Fabulous food and service! The dough was just delicious and fresh and the homemade ranch dressing was just amazing! We will definitely be back!”

“Stopped here for a lunch when we arrived at Panama City. It was a little crowded which is always a good sign. The employees were helpful and the food was good the first and second time. Good value for your money as we were able to eat on this lunch bowl twice”

“Love this place!! Casual and just delicious!!”
“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”
“This is a cute little shop with the nicest people. We bombarded them near closing and they were so gracious to accommodate our large group. The ice cream was delicious, the portions were generous and they were so kind to our kiddos. They even have an area where they can play while we waited for orders to be taken. Highly recommend and will be coming back.”
“Great food, amazing customer service !”
“Amazing place to eat! sherrie was very attentive! The food was delicious!”
“We went here last night 6.19.25 & Paris was our waitress and she went above and beyond. This place was packed from the moment it opened, we were her first night table of 12& she instantly had a bigger table of 15 and she handled both with grace and the most professionalism! We will 100% be back because of the food and Paris! Also, the food was so amazing. Great portion sizes! Outside there is a pool full of alligators that you can look at while you wait!”
“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.”

“Very very busy store. Understand the awards on the wall because they handled themselves well with a line out the door. Made an online order. I waited in my car for 20 mins but I’m in town on business and had to be at work in 45 so came inside to pick up because it was busy and I wanted to make their lives easier. Poor kid was too scared to walk around with my order and call out my name. Watched my food sit on the counter for 10 mins and then finally said something. Even saw the manager tell him to walk around and ask and he ignored her and walked away.
Regardless my food was hot and fresh even after sitting there so no complaints. Can’t wait to ask about franchise opportunities back in Oklahoma because the food was fire!”
“Absolutely loved the place excellent food cold beer in a frosted mug. Marlo our waitress was excellent we really enjoyed our dining experience”
“Great food and atmosphere. My server, Mallory, did an excellent job making sure I was well taken care of. Will definitely be back.”

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❣️”
“If your coming to PCB definitely make sure you stop at Dusty’s. The food was great and the staff was wonderful. And thanks to Jose for the fried cheesecake recommendation it was sooooo good! This was a great place to start your vacation.”
“We had a great time today, excellent food, drinks and even better service! Our bartender Violet really made the experience great! We tried some of her recommendations, the ahi tuna blt and the triple sliders. She hit the nail on the head with that! She was very knowledgeable about the drinks and really made it a fun time! We will definitely be coming back to see her soon!”

“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!!!”

“We are super grateful for this place as vegans. Ask for the vegetarian menu, and they have Beyond burgers, and a pasta dish. Also, we loved their baked potatoes and corn on the cob. The only place we could find near our hotel w/ vegan options. Great service from our waiter Kamau on multiple visits, and beautiful views of the sunsets over the beach.”

“Hands down one of the best places we have been and some of the BEST people! Took kids for dinner and shakes, all of it was amazing. Then when we went to leave we realized my bf had locked the keys in the car so they stayed and tried to help us get in car until we finally did. We didn't leave till around midnight! They gave items for my kids to cover up as it was cold, they sold scoops after close to the woman and her husband who came to help us, they were a huge help in such a stressful moment! Highly recommend! Very nice people!”
“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.”
