“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!!!!”
“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!”
“We’ve been to multiple restaurants looking for the best hush puppies. HANDS DOWN Dee’s has the BEST hush puppies! The burgers and mayo main tacos were amazing! Customer service, amazing! Wish we would have found them sooner on our vacation.”

“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 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.”
“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.”

“There are a lot of random Jin Jin Chinese places in Panama City, and I've probably tried them all over the years. I must say that Jin Jin King (not to be confused with Jin Jin King Super Buffet) is probably the best of the bunch. The food has always been hot and fresh with quality a step above everywhere else.
We usually dine in and the restaurant is clean and very well maintained.”
“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”
“Nice hotel . Nice location onthe beach (across the street) . Great customer service . We came during the summer season so there were a lot of children and families. Another time of year would be better for couples-Just my thoughts.. 2free drinks were served free of charge during our weekend stay after 5p. Pool and hot tub were very nice. Ac unit wasn't cooling at 1st but we called for service and they came and fixed ASAP. It was July so it was extremely hot. Great view of the beach and peir from our room.”
“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.”
“The Bacon Cheddar Oysters are awesome. My personal opinion is the Rockefeller Oysters had to much spinach and was off not sure how I don't make them but they are not the same as normal everywhere else. The fish basket with a baked potato and corn on a cob was again delicious. Very nice laid back atmosphere super nice waitress. I personally suggest giving them a try.”
“We had our daughter's birthday celebration (seven adults), and they did not disappoint. Everything was delicious, and everyone was happy with full bellies. The staff was super friendly and great service! Will be back again.”

“Came probably 10 years ago with a bogo coupon. Now we have it everyime we are in town. Some years multiple times a season! We even chatted with the owner and he was very friendly there working along side the workers. Will always return. The line out the door is woth the wait. Always friendly staff.”

“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”
“Great food, amazing customer service !”
“We don’t have Culver’s in Maryland , so whenever we are traveling and looking for something fast and see a Culver’s, we have to stop!
They have a large selection of items many of which you won’t find at your typical national chain. Wish they would expand into the mid Atlantic states.”
“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.”
“Great food and atmosphere. My server, Mallory, did an excellent job making sure I was well taken care of. Will definitely be back.”

“All American Diner was a great place to stop in and grab a meal! The buffet was awesome and had plenty of options for everyone in the family. For a family of 5—2 adults and 3 kids, ages 2, 5, and 9—we spent around $70 before tipping.
The food was good, the atmosphere was family-friendly, and it was definitely a great stop for our family. We would absolutely recommend All American Diner and would happily stop in again!”

“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❣️”
“So happy I stopped by! Finding a place that makes smoothie bases fresh to order makes all the difference in texture and flavor, and this spot nailed it. The Coco Power bowl (with fresh strawberries added) was delicious, and all the toppings tasted so fresh. Staff were friendly and helpful from the second I walked in. Highly recommend, I’ll definitely be a returning customer!”
“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.”
“We got the breakfast buffet and it was so delicious. All the variety’s for a great price. Reminded me of my breakfast place back home in Indiana. The pancakes were amazing. The eggs were great. We’re thinking about coming back every morning the rest of our vacation 😂 PLUS they had fruits on the buffet bar. I ate 6 pieces of watermelon <3”
“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.”
“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.”
“For a Takeout order it takes something special to leave a 5 star ⭐ review, but this was just that occasion!
At first I was just going to do the regular and park in a spot and wait for someone to bring it out to the car. This time I decided to go in and get a drink because I was early and it didn’t look that busy. The moment I walked in the door I was greeted with a smile from the hostess and informed her I was going for a drink and made my way over the bartender. At first glance there was one other person at the bar eating and enjoying a drink, and an older bartender walked out and immediately put a menu in front of me to take my order. After I informed him I was waiting for takeout he asked what I wanted and poured me a wofford and diet which was perfect. Here is the best part, and every sip I took I thought how are they going to mess up this order, what will they forget? How will this be just like every other takeout order and something seams to always be missing? This was the opposite, as soon as he asked my named he went back to the kitchen and made sure they knew Mr. Johnsen was at the bar waiting for this order. Now, you might ask well this guy just wanted to hear his name and feel like a big celebrity and hand this bartender a huge tip for the recognition, maybe but it got better 😂 I was watching as my order came up and he checked EVERYTHING! all the steaks had the right sides, extra butter for the bread, extra dressing for the salads, TWO SETS OF SILVERWARE!!! I can’t tell you how many times restaurants forget silverware and I have turn into Survivor man in my hotel room on how to eat my steak. Everything was there, and when he brought it to me he repeated the ticket to know that not only did he check but it was RIGHT. Now the best part of the night, and tell me the last time this happened to you. As I am walking out of the restaurant I saw some guy holding the door and I was ten steps away so it wasn’t for me…. But it was, and it was the manager and he thanked me for coming in and wished me good night. Do yourself a favor if you made it this far, go and have a good experience and do it with Longhorn Steakhouse, it was a breath of fresh air!”

“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!!!”

The beach itself is beautiful, the upstairs event space is perfect. We are beyond satisfied and we can't recommend them highly enough!”

“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.”
