Restaurants in Panama City

“Over and over”

“Wait was long, but worth it. They call them tenders, but they were closer to breasts. $10.99. Appetizer sampler platter was huge. Going back again 2 days later.”

“Ordered your Hair of the Dog sandwich and it was amazing. Definitely making this place a spot i’m going to while i’m on vacation”

“Best Vietnamese Restaurant”

“Great experience every time!”

“We love the Press and are there every chance we get. The staff are amazing, fun and offer the best customer service of any place to eat or drink in our area! The selection of sugar free drink offerings beats any other coffee shop hands down! We also love the addition of the outdoor seating and will be taking advantage of it when it cools down outside!”

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Absolutely love how fast the service is, how friendly the staff is. Love how they share their actual thoughts on the cookie they like the most out of the weeks specials”

“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.”

“Very kind staff and the food is always delicious.”

“We often get lunch or takeout here for sandwiches with homemade salads! 🥗 Friendly quick service and delicious food every time 🥪”

“I have known about Gene's for over 3 decades. Always delicious and fresh with good friends and families. You will spoil this well known fact if it is shared with any tourists. Highly recommend 💯 %”

“We've always had great meals at Hunts!”

“sooooo weird and sooooo good”

“Relaxing, inviting, exceptional service, delicious food. 💯”

“Best meal we had all week. The Grouper sandwich and Mahi- Mahi were delicious and the hush puppies were on point. The best part of the meal, as crowded and busy as they were, was our service from our server Earlene. I can't say enough good things about this young lady. Good manners and service all wrapped up with personality. We will definitely be back!!”

“Seriously the best Mexican food around!!!”

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

“If you’re anywhere near this Thai spot, it is 100% worth the drive. We live in PCB (about 30 minutes away) and I will gladly make that trip again and again for this food. We’ve tried a lot of Thai restaurants in the area, and honestly none of them even come close to this place. The curry was absolutely to die for and the flavor and richness were next level. I ordered the Mamasun curry (no peas, level 1 spice) and it was perfection. So creamy, balanced, and packed with flavor without being overwhelming. He got the Panang curry (no veggies, level 2 spice) and it had just the right kick with that classic deep, savory sweetness. Every single bite was amazing. The plating was beautiful, and the restaurant itself had such a pleasing, welcoming vibe. The decor was tasteful and cozy, and the outdoor area looked like it would be such a great place to sit during the summertime. The staff was a 10/10. We had multiple people check on us throughout dinner to make sure everything was perfect. They were genuinely kind and attentive without being overbearing. We went around 6:30 on a Monday night and it wasn’t very busy, mostly some to-go orders, but this place seriously deserves more recognition. It’s a hidden gem. We will absolutely be back . Can’t wait to try the noodles !”

“The food is unique. I really like their stir fry dishes and the pad prik king. I’m not a Thai food connoisseur, but their dishes are a little different than other Thai places I’ve been. We will keep coming to visit 😊”

“Absolutely love this place!”

“Had lunch here for the first time today, it was the BEST food I’ve had in a very long time, I ordered the shrimp basket, it came with fries, coleslaw and hush puppies, it was $12.99 got the lunch special and the server was excellent!! Will definitely be back again.”

“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!!!”

“Lovely, dark European pub atmosphere. Cozy and quaint with a seating area full of sofas and books! Wonderful hosts with a welcoming attitude! Our new Home in downtown PC.”

“Situated on the corner of the block, the interior feels like quality upon entry. The exposed brick walls, open ceiling with trusses, and a darkly painted concrete floor. The 40 foot long, clear-stained, butcher block bar is spacious and the natural tone feels homey.

The bartender, Quinn was cheerful & responsive, and mixed a terrific mojito. They specialize in cocktails and have a very limited beer offering.

It appears that appetizers and/or charcuterie boards are available. While I didn't eat, I did spy some food served to other patrons. The food looked as it should -- fresh, colorful, and well presented.

I would definitely recommended Atelier as a casual, upscale stop for a happy hour or evening out. It seems like a good to place start, or perhaps wrap up an evening out with your date.”

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

“Crab legs, country music, and all of the games I want to see? Sign me up. The food and drinks are always 10/10 and the staff will make you feel like family! Brian and Ashley are the best and have created such a cool place. Lonestar is a multiple time a week staple for me in Panama City.”

“This is definitely a staple and one of the best restaurants to really uphold the influence and standards for the community. This is coming from a local… going on 32 and lived here since I was 5. They are one of a kind. I absolutely love the art and atmosphere. This bar is a an atmosphere like no other. Seth and Cat were absolutely amazing and offered wonderful customer service! If you get the chance I would recommend asking for them because they were also so knowledgeable about every drink and all of the food.”

“The ribeye was amazing! The crab imperial and fingerling potatoes were too salty for our taste though. The service was wonderful. Our waitress was very thoughtful.”

“By far the best I have ever tasted....and Karn is one of the best people I have ever meet....thank you”

“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!!!!”

“Reservations easy to make, food good and mimosas superior. Vanessa, our server, was excellent! Friendly, fun, checked on us regularly, good recommendations on food! Please thank her and keep her!”

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

“Absolutely the best shakes around. Staff is always friendly and willing to help. My favorite place to stop when I go to Panama.”

“Food was FABULOUS and flavors on spot. Our service was awesome. The service manager was very nice. It is always a wonderful experience to dine at this location in Panama City.”

“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.”

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

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

“The best food in Bay County Florida is here. Food is always consistently phenomenal and full of flavor. Weekend Brunch is delicious and there’s something for everyone regardless of dietary restrictions!!!! THIS IS A “MUST VISIT” if you enter the state of FLORIDA!”

“If I could rate them higher I would, not only do they have amazing tasting coffee my favorite is 'Birdie Brew" but their avocado toast is the delicious. 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. We absolutely love it, such an awesome place in our community.”

“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”

“On my top 3 places to go to for coffee. The owner and the staff are all awesome! Haven't been here in a year due to moving and the owner remembered who I was. Says a lot considering thousands of people get coffee. If you need a coffee idea while reading this.... The iced creme brulee latte is my go to.”

“We had Mission BBQ cater a family event, and everything was top-notch! Khloi and her catering team provided outstanding service. They were prompt, and the food was amazing--every dish was delicious! They provided everything we needed (and some things we didn't know we needed!). We couldn't be happier with the experience! Highly recommend Mission's catering service!”

“Mosey's is the best spot in PC..”

“amazing friendly service great food!!”

“1st time...quaint location...fabulous food ...great alternative to daily dose of seafood..fresh ingredients..great experience...”

“This is my new to me go to spot for seafood near Panama City Beach. Southern hospitality, prompt service. Our appetizers were out quicker than any place I’ve ever been. Our waiter was attentive and knowledgeable. Even showed those pictures of the catch of the day with the timestamp. I had a grouper imperial dish and it was probably one of the best seafood dishes I’ve ever had. I highly recommend going if you’re in and around Panama City Beach Florida.”

“Absolutely delish! We enjoyed our dinner on the outside patio - felt like we were on a private date in Italy (just the 2 of us outside due to the rain but we requested it, loved it, didn't get wet and it was a great ambiance). The mozzarella ball appetizer is 10/10 amazing - along with everything else we had. Chatted with the owner several times - super nice guy and obviously cares about his business, he is right there side by side working with his employees - this is what GREAT business ownership looks like! If you haven't had a chance to try it out - YOU MUST GO!”

“Great Mexican food we love it !”

“Alice’s was highly recommend by a local. I had grilled grouper and it was excellent! Best fish dinner I’ve had in a long time. Father-in-law had fried shrimp, also excellent! For desert I had bread pudding with a bourbon sauce, also excellent! I’ll definitely be back again!”

“My granddaughter took me here for her 9th birthday. I loved the place. Totally self service and super clean. Price is based on weight. They have lots of flavors and toppings, so it'll take a while to go through all the combinations. Give it a go, it's a nice tasty and treat.”

“Just dropped in on our way back to Monticello. Had a BIG ole' glass of beer. The people that had bellied up to the bar were happily drinking and greeted me. I am not Norm (!) but it seemed like everyone knew me. This a BAR. Alcohol and cigarettes and American flags. I really had a good time there. My opinion usually does not mean much but if you have some free time and a couple of bucks to spend drop in to Cayote's and have a good time. I sure as hell did.”

“Comida deliciosa, hoy probé los Volcanes hechos por el cocinero Alfonso, y están divinos, no te lo pierdas 👍🏼👌🏼”

I always recommend Kayla to my neighbors, friends, and other acquaintances'”

““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. 😅”

“Love everything about Chick-fil-a, except! During this heat wave we are experiencing the employees shouldn’t be ask to stand out in for any length of time. Those fans you provide basically move unbearable heat around. DO BETTER! So in fact it’s your employees pleasure.”

“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!”

“Had an amazing experience at Ario! The meat was incredibly tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The empanadas were crispy, delicious, and some of the best I’ve had. The drinks were also amazing, well made, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal.
Highly recommend Ario to anyone looking for a great meal and excellent service.”

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

“The food was fantastic and the atmosphere and service top notch!”

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

“Really good coffee and great atmosphere I personally best coffee in the city”

“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”

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

“Chloe was at Lane 2! SHE WAS A DOLL! super welcoming, checked to see if the stand had stickers! Was very informative!! my fizz chiller is a 1000/10!!

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

“The sauce is very good on their pizza.”

“Absolutely stunning views of St. Andrew's bay. The menu is small but perfect. I had the special stuffed flounder, it was amazing paired with a glass of Pinot Grigio and a makers old fashioned!”
