43 Best Seafood Restaurants in Panama City Beach

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 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!“

“If you’re looking for the perfect brunch spot—this is it! Everything was absolutely delicious from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. 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! 🥂🍳🧇“

“Best shrimp boil I’ve ever had, from the seasoning to how well it’s cooked. Can’t beat it!“

“This place isn’t much to look at and isn’t on the beach, but the food and friendly service make it a very worthy stop. Our only regret is trying it on one of our last days at PBC so we weren’t able to go again! We enjoyed peel and eat shrimp, a Cajun fish and grits dish, and a fried basket, and they were all amazing! Everything was fresh and expertly prepared, the portions were ample, and the value was outstanding. Even the fries were well seasoned and fried to crisp perfection, and the sauces and salad dressing were better than any other place we tried. Beer, wine and cocktails were also good and so affordable when compared to competitors. Highly recommend supporting this amazing, family-owned restaurant that has an “old Florida” appeal that we felt was quite charming!“

“Great food friendly staff.“

“Absolutely loved the place excellent food cold beer in a frosted mug. Marlo our waitress was excellent we really enjoyed our dining experience“

“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!“

“The staff was great and very polite, including our very attentive.WaitressI can't remember her name unfortunately.But we were there sunday, nine fourteen at about five p m. the food was well priced, the keys platter that we got didn't look like the picture. The fish was actually bigger LOL My wife wanted grilled, and I wanted blackened, so I asked for some blackened seasoning on the side, she actually brought that.And a little cup of butter to make sure the spice is stuck to the protein. little details like that is what made this a great experience for usCrab cakes also were at least ninety five percent good flaky crab meat“

“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.“

“I was skeptical walking into a place that says “famous lobster rolls” but this place was so freakin amazing I went twice in one day and then again the next day. My better half is from CT and she loves lobster rolls to a point where we have to plan day trips around them and she couldn’t get enough either. I don’t love mayo so I had both the lobster rolls and crab roll Connecticut style. Probably about 4-5 myself in 3 days. No room for sides so I can’t comment on those but I cannot wait to go back this summer and order more and more! It will be my first stop.“

“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.“

“The food was fantastic! We had the Runaway Grouper and the Caribbean Chicken. Be sure to save room for dessert! The key lime pie is fabulous!“

“The Thanksgiving buffet did not disappoint!!! the ham was amazing!!!(the best I have ever had)The gouda grits were fantastic!!! The Cajun pasta was good!!! I would definitely recommend to eat here!!! the seating was nice just a beautiful day!!!“

“My FAMILY AND I RODE DOWN FROM BLAKELY GA TO EAT AT DIRTY DICKS AND WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME THE FOOD WAS GREAT OUR SERVER WAS FELIX AND HE WAS VERY FRIENDLY AND DID A GREAT JOB AND WE WILL GO AGAIN THANK YOU KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND FOOD“

“OK, it you stick to crab and filet all you can eat you will break even. The crab legs were great and the rare filet was incredible. Best filet I have ever had. Unlimited crab is worth it for a once in a while treat. Everything else was also great (shrimp, crab cakes, etc) . Line was never too long and our waiter kept the table clean. Will return and recommend highly.“

“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 liked the chili lime shrimp and the seafood dip so much that we got them twice the week we stayed. Large portions. We only did carryout each time but the service was good.“

“Love this place!! Casual and just delicious!!“

“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.“

“took my husband for his birthday dinner. great service, great food, his steak was perfectly cooked. I had the shrimp and crab augratin. We will definitely eat there again when we are in the area. Shout out to Susan..you took good care of us!“

“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!!!!“

“Great food! Great service!“

“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!“

“Fried shrimp and baked oysters were delicious. My best friend tried the raw oysters. Both oyster shocker did a great job on the oyster. I would highly recommend this place again.“

“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“

“We had a wonderful experience tonight! Bonbon was an awesome server, gave wonderful recommendations, and the food was hot and fresh. Prices had gone up quite a bit, so price was only reason we gave it a 4. Great drinks, no room for dessert!“

“Great food! Great service!“

“Best fruit drinks, quality service. Can’t wait to get back next year!“

“Our Waitress was Dee and she was wonderful. Great environment and great food! Ask for Dee!“

“Excellent Grouper and drinks 😍“

“We’re down in PCB on vacation. We were going to go to a froggy type of restaurant .. but the traffic was awful. So we opted in for San Marcos. And boyyyyyyy IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! We sat at the bar, the bartender? Absolutely the coolest! She was so very helpful, so attentive, super friendly, and held good conversation. The food was fresh, flavorful, beautiful, and delicious. Best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Will be back every time we come to PCB!!“

“Good food and great service“

“After not finding anything we liked at Hammerhead Fred’s, we decided to try Longboards which was next door. We ordered fried mushrooms, wings, fries, pizza, and street corn. The food was amazing and we had plenty of leftovers and it was even better the next day. The trivia & games on screen kept us entertained while we ate. The female who took our order and made our food was so nice and we will definitely go back when we are in PCB again.“

“we ate there for dinner today. Very pleased with the service and the food. My wife had the regular buffet and I had the Crab Leg buffet every thing about it was perfect. Our waitress was Holly and she was awesome she made sure our 1st experience was perfect, she checked on us repeatedly to make sure we had everything we needed. We'll definitely come back on our next trip to Panama City Beach. Thank you for the great experience in dinning!!“

“First time staying at the resort.
Kenny the bartender was amazing! He was by far my favorite waiter/bartender during the whole week in PCB.
We had a bacon and pepperoni pizza. Soooo good and more affordable then any other pizza and did not have to pay a delivery service or leave the resort for a easy dinner which was a plus. Their salads are yummy to and loaded!!!!! They currently close at 8 and they are doing some remodels! Do not let these things stop you. This is a really affordable and yummy place to eat after a long day at the beach or pool 👨‍🍳❤️“

“Great food, great atmosphere and our waitresses Cherry was super sweet!! We enjoyed our first experience!!“

“Food was wonderful service was wonderful. I could do without the loud music.“
