“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!“

“When I told my dad that my friend and I were vacationing to Panama City, he told me we had to stop by Mike's for dinner. We are glad we did! I don't like seafood but love hushpuppies, so I enjoyed the grilled chicken with roasted red potatoes and hush puppies. My friend had the Royal Red. It was all delicious and just what we needed after a long day at the beach. We even met the owner, Mike, and he was great too. Highly recommend!“

“Great food friendly staff.“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“Just had a drink @ bar, Troy was really nice! Cool place“

“We tried Pompanos for the first time yesterday. At first it was humid inside but the temp quickly cooled down and was more than comfortable. The food was AMAZING. Our waitress Bobbie was incredible as well. She was so sweet and I felt that she genuinely cared about us and wanted us to have the best experience possible. The food WAS amazing, but the service and Bobbie are the main reason we will be returning! After eating, I immediately spoke with the manager (Who was also extremely friendly and appreciative) and made sure that Bobbie got the praise she deserved! 10/10 experience.“

“We had lunch today @SanMarcos Mexican Grill Pier Park. The food was excellent! The service was excellent!! We will visit again!!“

“This buffet was great! Nothing we had was bad! And unlimited crab legs where can you go wrong? It’s a small ish buffet so don’t expect Golden Corral but everything was delicious and fresh we went early before the crowds around 4:30 and enjoyed ourselves for about 2 hours!“

“Good food and great service“

“Danielle was an AMAZING server. Our meal was delicious from start to finish. The fried crab claws here are the best we've had here in Florida. My husband had the blackened chicken pasta and a Caesar salad. I had the Buddy's Seafood platter. We loved all of it.“

“The BEST buffet I’ve ever been to. My family and I recently visited while on vacation in PCB. AMAZING crab legs, other food was delicious too. My kids LOVED IT. The service was top tier. Our server was the best we’ve ever had at any restaurant. Definitely recommend.“

“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 had an amazing experience at Angelo’s Steak Pit. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everything was on point, from the service from our waitress Emily! The fried cheese curds and GIANT onion rings were a great way to start the meal. Absolutely loved their Greek salad dressing. So fresh! 🥗 Our steaks were all cooked just right. My steak n shrimp came with the best hush puppies I’ve ever tasted. Like fried little bites straight from heaven 😇 Our kids ate every last bite of mac & cheese… giving it a 12 out of 10! My daughter loved the virgin strawberry daiquiris in the cute cowboy boot cups! 👢Don’t skip the bourbon lemonade cocktail. They told me that they make their own bourbon…. PLUS you get to keep the cup as a fun souvenir 🥃“

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

“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.“

“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!!!“
