Restaurants in Panama City

“Over and over”

“Staff was accommodating and friendly during an Octoberfest event. Food was amazing!!! And I am picky! I had the Rockin Bod which was perfect for someone not wanting the extra bread. The smokiness of the pulled pork was amazing, the cucumber salad was refreshing to lighten up the fact that I has to try the truffle fries 😋 Hubby had the wings and they were meaty and so moist but caramelized as well. The IPA selection was perfect!!!”

“Very good food at a good price.”

“amazing friendly service great food!!”

“Our FAVORITE hidden gem here in PCB! We discovered this place by accident a few years ago and we are so glad we did! We make it a priority to come here anytime we visit. The food here is absolutely amazing! Brisket tacos and tuna dip are FIRE! Everything is so delicious we often find ourselves reminiscing about it lol. Outdoor covered seating right on the water and live music sometimes. 5 stars for sure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“My wife and I celebrated our 56th anniversary lunch at HOH 3/16/2026. It was our first meal there and it was excellent. We ordered from the dinner menu. The food was very very good and the service was great. We ate in the bar section and Mary was the bartender and waitress. She was friendly and professional. She got busy at the bar but she never neglected our table. Couldn't ask for better food and service!”

“Absolutely love this place!”

“Arrived at 10:05 for lunch because breakfast ended at 10:00. One server took our drink order and said our server would be taking our order shortly. 10 minutes later she took our order. Meanwhile over the next 30 minutes several customers arrived and were served drinks and meals. Our server returned a couple of times with excuses why our food wasn't ready. After waiting patiently for 1 hour we got up and left. No one approached us to ask why we were leaving. This was our first visit to Big Mamas and will not be returning.”

“My daughter and I had an excellent meal there today. Prices were good and excellent service. The restaurant was the cleanest I have ever seen! The skinny Margarita was made with fresh ingredients was awesome. DJ & Kelly”

“Had a great lunch with work friends. Great food, and great service!’ Definitely Will go back.”

“Mosey's is the best spot in PC..”

“Great sandwiches, amazing apps and sides. Wonderful seevice”

“We just left and had an absolutely amazing experience. Our server was very nice and patient. She did a wonderful job serving all 12 of us! Food was amazing. Service was amazing! Couldn’t ask for more thank you for a great experience!!!”

“Our group of 6 ate there last night. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. Our server Sandy was just great! The food…oh, the food was delicious! If we could give 10 ⭐️ we would!
We’re definitely going back!”

“Despite initial skepticism based on the exterior, this family-owned restaurant turned out to be the best Thai dining experience we’ve had. We ordered the Pad Thai (tofu), chicken fried rice, fried tofu, yellow curry, and spicy edamame — each dish was excellent.

The spice levels were well-balanced, and the food was outstanding both in taste and presentation. This restaurant has set a very high standard for us, and it will be difficult to compare future Thai dining experiences. Our family truly enjoys Thai cuisine, and we often compare places to Lemongrass in Las Vegas. In our opinion, if AROI were to open in Las Vegas, it would give Lemongrass serious competition.

The meal was worth every penny, with our per-person cost averaging around $20.”

“great spot!!!

we sat outside with out dog and they were very kind and even brought out water for her. we also enjoyed the meal and the service was great. 5 stars, would come back again ✨”

“Tried for the first time and did not disappoint! The butter chicken pizza was soooo flavorful and the perfect amount of spicy. Definitely my new favorite pizza place!!!!”

“This is a bit off the beaten path and not a big production restaurant and grill. Menu is really good from shareables to salads to sandwiches to entrees. Had the two chix and a pasta...done well with a great pasta sauce.”

“My team and I celebrated our company Christmas dinner at Neons 72 tonight. They hit it out of the park! They really made it special for us. The food, service, and decorations were awesome! Thank you to their entire team!!!”

“Real di@ks 😂. Was a good time and the food was amazing. Three people in my group had never been.”

“It is difficult to find a sushi Restaurant that serves quality fish, it is almost impossible to find one that sends you quality fish. Fin's has the freshest quality sashimi that you will find in this area, either in house or delivered”

“Good Food Love This Place Will Most Definitely be Back🤞😋🤤”

“Friendly service and a very clean place with great food! The views from here cannot be beat for dinner 😍”

“😀Julia was an exceptionally server. My husband and I constantly go out to eat dinner and she is one of the best server we have ever encountered. She keeps coming to check on us to see if we like the food or needed anything. She was very professional and funny at the same time. We hope to see her again next time we visit.”

“Went for Veterans day. It was very busy as to be expected. Despite the dinner rush and lower bills that would come in from the comped meals our server Katrina was great.
We were seated surprisingly quick after initially being quoted a 30 minute wait. She apologized when it took a bit longer to get our sons drink (milk) because it needed to come from the bar. Checked on us multiple times and got our meals out in a timely manner. Overall we received great service under the higher pressure of a busy night like this.”

“Best breakfast and service around!”

“Best cheeseburger I have ever gotten at an establishment of this nature. Cooked to perfection. The juice from the patty, tomatoes, onions, condiments, and bacon all collided perfectly.”

“Food was really good service was amazing our server was katie witch was super nice shout out to katie”

“A nice option for breakfast while on vacay. Very friendly and great seevice!”

“Simple coffee shop/kiosk located post-security at the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport and located next to Gate 1, across from the restaurant on the concourse. In addition to coffee, there is also a selection of bakery items. Usually line moves fairly quick, but can get a bit crowded in terms of the line since it is right in the gate area.”

“Iexcellent service”

“Libby is now open come get it hot and fresh”

“I've followed Getchewabox for years and been wanting to try it since they moved in the new spot! I was able to take the wife and daughter to lunch today and it exceeded my expectations! The Philly was the best I've had in years! Not only was all the food bussin but the service was phenomenal! Everything on the menu looks fire 🔥 We can't wait to go back and try more!”

“Excellent customer service. Lily was super friendly and helpful!!! Best customer service we had our entire vacation”

“Kind of like Chik-fil-a, we bet you'll crave Toms on Sundays when they're closed (like we do.) If you'd like to be a part of our emotional support group, please reach out to us. #TomsisLife”

“We just left Sweet Cone Alabama and it was wonderful! There’s lots of selection of candy if ice cream isn’t your thing but the selection of ice cream was great! The girls behind the counter working were so lovely. They were friendly and laughed with us. Highly recommended Sweet Cone Alabama! 10 out of 10!! 8-29-25”

“Went today for take out ,our first time. We both got the Cuban sandwich. DELICIOUS ! Not very familiar with Cuban food at all, but we will go again to try something else.”

“Kathy is a wonderful server. She made sure we had everything we needed. The food is delicious. It was my parents 1st time and they enjoyed it very much. At 12 everyday they play the Star Spangled Banner, everyone stops and honors the flag. A true patriotic establishment. I have never been disappointed. 23rd Street location in Panama City Fl”

“We love going there and listening to music!”

“The bacon biscuit was not was I was assuming, I’m not sure what it was. It was honestly super horrible. The staff was very friendly, I will try again but for coffee not the food!”

“amazing friendly service great food!!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Love this place! The drinks are spot on, the staff makes you feel like family, and the vibe is always right. Honestly, if you’re looking for a spot to relax, laugh, and enjoy yourself—you’ve found it. 🍻”

“RHS77 and fellow alumni thoroughly enjoyed our Meet n Greet tonight! Y’all did an awesome job! We had so many comments on how wonderful the food and staff was! We highly recommend Gary’s Oyster Shack!”

“I came in just looking for lunch and left with a full-on spiritual experience.

First of all—fried ribs?! I genuinely thought my family was the only group of people out here frying ribs like that, so imagine my excitement. And let me tell you… they did NOT disappoint. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked with the kind of love you can taste.

The mac & cheese, collard greens, and rice & gravy? My food didn’t just taste good—it touched my spirit. Like sit-back-for-a-second-and-process-your-life kind of good.

And then… the grape Kool-Aid. Listen. I don’t know who back there decided to unlock childhood memories, but that first sip took me straight back to a part of my life I forgot even existed.

If you’re looking for fancy, this ain’t it. But if you’re looking for real, comforting, soul-hugging food that feels like home—you need to be here.

10/10. I will absolutely be back.”

The Drip has never been just a coffee shop to me they are like family, the warm welcome you get as you walk in and the exceptional service you receive makes you want to stay and hangout, if you have children the indoor playground is a must on those hot days.

““I’m lovin’ it… but my gluten-free stomach is not.”

Ah, McDonald’s — the land of golden fries, drive-thru dreams, and late-night cravings. You’ve been there for me at 2 a.m. after a road trip, during toddler tantrums, and on days when cooking feels like an extreme sport. Consistency is key, and you deliver: salty fries, burgers that hit the nostalgia button, and those little Coke cups that somehow taste better than all other Cokes in the world.

BUT — and it’s a sesame seed-covered but — my gluten-free self is out here in the corner munching on hash browns and apple slices like it’s a kindergarten snack. Throw me a (bun-less) bone! A gluten-free burger bun? A nugget made of dreams and rice flour? I’m not asking for filet mignon. Just let me join the party.

Still, four stars for always being there, for being affordable, and for letting me eat fries with zero judgment. I’ll keep coming back... just with my own sad Tupperware sometimes. 😅”

“We eat here regularly. I’m have been very impressed with the “to go” staff. Very very nice and polite. Have had males and females and everybody seemed very nice and had no problem checking when I ask to verify all my sauces. Lol. This shows great management! See ya soon! P”

“Had a wonderful dinner here!!! Our waiter was named Cole and he was AMAZING!!! All staff was attentive and kind! Food was excellent!!!”

“We found this hidden gem on google, we’re locals but wanted to tried something new and came across this place; OMG, the flavors here are something else. This little Mediterranean bistro spot won’t disappoint, if you’re looking for something out of the ordinary, this is your spot. You can dine here but is more a take out vibe for me. Very small and clean space. Service is great, since it was our first time there, the lady behind the counter was very friendly and helpful about their small but yummy menu. We both had a beef shawarma sandwich; the combination of flavors are exquisite and their dessert selection makes it hard to choose. We tried, Honey Cake. Napoleon Cake and the Eclairs melted on our mouth. Highly recommend this place, absolutely delicious, definitely a 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review‼️”

“Amazing cappuccino AND it's a drive through...can't get any better than that!”

“I got the birthday cake latte and docs choice and they're both so good. Definitely will be a regular here now!”

“Hubby and I stopped for drinks after dinner while on vacation. My husband loved his old fashioned that is his go to drink. I had the Atelier omg such strawberry goodness! Will definitely return when in the area.”

“A great find in PCB. The food and service were excellent and the best meal during the vacation. The restaurant itself is beautiful too, which you can’t tell from the outside. Highly recommend.”

“Strong with this one.

A food truck—with indoor & outdoor seating and excellent service.
Not what you expect.

Chicken and steak were perfectly seasoned and cooked right.
Simple. Done well.

Return, I will.”

“Delicious ice cream! Had the Creole Praline- it was divine! Young man working was very friendly and patient! (9/25).”

“I'm so glad we stumbled upon this place! my tea was amazing and my bf loved his iced coffee! the shop was super cute with lots of goodies to look at while we waited for our drinks to be crafted. There was a HUGE selection of herbs with several locally grown and harvested which I appreciated. After Michael, it was hard for us to find spots in PC to able to study or work. Wild Root is the perfect space to grab a book or your laptop and enjoy a drink and bite to eat.”

“Such great food and a cozy atmosphere! Job well done! Five stars! ⭐️”

“when I first started coming here, there was so much energy in these young adults and that hasn't changed, they always have a smile on their face always ready to take care of you, Mr.Leinier at the Callaway location is a very sweet young man, I always look forward to this young man to take my order.
White chocolate mocha 3xs espresso and cold foam.. yummy”

“I had jerk chicken and it was the best thing I've ever eaten! The meat was so juicy and you can taste all the flavors from them cooking it on the grill . Even the potato salad was amazing and homemade”

“We food breakfast while staying at the hotel. Food was good not great but good, but expected more from service. Coffee arrived way before food and one was cold. The answer was we just press a button and the machine makes it so what do you want to do? You want in re made or something else to drink? I know I don't want cold coffee unless I order a cold brew. Next we had our coffees. There was sugar yet nothing to stir. When someone finally noticed us, asked for something to stir our coffees. They brought 1 spoon. Guess sharing is in style. We do have to come back since we payed already for breakfast for our stay. Not sure if id do it again next time.
Edit. The rest of the days we sat closer to the bar and we got Felix as waiter. He's just wonderful, no issues at all no cold coffee or anything. Still won't give 5 cos of our server on the first day. Big huge shout out to Felix.”

“The food was top tier! Favorite spot in Callaway!”

“DELICIOUS pizza!! The Cheese bread app was wonderful and everyone got a HUGE slice exactly like they wanted!
They didn’t have live music while we were”

“WOW !!! What views !! Beautiful, atmosphere is amazing! Food is fresh, well prepared, well presented, and tastes great! Service is very friendly and very attentive !”
