“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!“

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.

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 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.“

“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.“

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

“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 🥃“

“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!!!“

“Tried Nathan’s while I was here at PCB after I saw some raved reviews on Tiktok- & i was not disappointed at all. Prices are kind of expensive, didn’t expect to pay $75 but the food was good. I got the classic philly cheesesteak, hot honey chicken leg with cheese fries, kids chicken tender meal and a lemonade. The hot honey chicken leg was sooo tender - I definitely would reorder again when we come back.“

“Went back last night had a great time with my friend. Food and service was awesome! Ladies can go have a drink and watch the sunset (even alone) and enjoy the friendly atmosphere!“
