“I have been dying to try this place since it opened! It didn’t disappoint! It was everything and more! The bestie crew and I tried several different things. My favorite was the korn dip and carnitas tacos. I also had the hurricane beer and it was so yummy. Definitely Potent. Only needed 2 to catch the buzziezz. The staff was friendly, inviting and helpful guiding us through the menu. Jordan was amazing. I hate I didn’t catch the name of the food runner or front house/cashier young lady. They were all AMAZING! 10 out of 10 definitely recommend! We definitely will be back! My only regret was not getting pictures of the food. We were too hungry and excited to think about it until after. Clean, friendly atmosphere.Kid-friendliness: It’s a fun vibrant atmosphere. Saw many kids running around having fun. It’s also spring break so prob not that many kids on a regular basis.”

“My recent visit was an absolute delight, both gastronomically and in terms of service. The food served was nothing short of exceptional, with flavors that were both rich and satisfying, clearly showcasing the kitchen's commitment to quality and culinary skill.What truly set this dining experience apart, however, was the outstanding customer service we received. Our waiter was not only attentive, ensuring that our table lacked for nothing throughout the meal, but also took the time to share with us a glimpse into their culture. This personal touch added a unique and educational aspect to our meal, making it all the more memorable.The combination of delectable food and the warm, engaging service provided by our waiter made our visit a truly enjoyable one. It’s evident that this restaurant excels not only in their culinary offerings but in creating a welcoming atmosphere for their guests. I wholeheartedly recommend [Restaurant Name] to anyone looking for a dining experience that goes above and beyond.”

“We visited the Thomas Drive (beach) location for the first time tonight. Absolutely stoked that this is nearby. The food, drinks, atmosphere and staff were wonderful. We can't wait to come back! Highly recommend and please support this local business. Well deserved!”
“This restaurant provides consistently great food and great views! Stop in the courtyard on the way in, sit in the swing and take in the Bay View. One of the things I really like about Uncle Ernie's is the many different seating options. Inside, Outside, upstairs at the outside bar, and anything in between. Great service, great menu and a pleasure to visit everytime!”
“Blackened Grouper was great and we love their house cocktail sauce! A little crowded and loud due to the renovation in progress, but overall would visit again. It was a nice to be surrounded by locals.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“One of the absolute best places in PCB. Looooove this place. Blackened grouper etoufee, shrimp, and lobster grits, chicken fried chicken with andouille gravy, and bread pudding. Will be back...”
“The wheat beer was fantastic! I've never been a fan of mustard based BBQ sauce until now. The pulled pork sandwich was a perfect blend, where the sauce did not overpower the smoky flavor of the meat. I'm now a fan, but only at this establishment!”

“Went in for breakfast and was blown away with what I encounter. Not only was the food outstanding the atmosphere and staff were 5 star. Actually was greeted to Andy and his gratefulness for our patronage was the powder on the cake. I highly recommend stopping in if no other reason then to buy a home made cookie.”

This is a great, clean environment and the staff are always very attentive. They offer cheap little snacks for the kiddos too.Parking: Plenty of parking availableKid-friendliness: Great indoor play option. Very clean environment. They also hold classes, kids activities and host parties”
“Food was okay. Disappointed by the egg I watched them microwave for my breakfast sandwich. I'm from the northeast and am used to the fresh authentic NY style bagels. These were small and nowhere near the quality I'm used to. That doesn't mean they were bad! They were alright, just not as good as I had hoped for from a place with bagel in the name.”
“Great spot! I got the maple brown sugar shaken espresso and the brown sugar pop tart and they were delicious! My friend got the beach breakfast bagel and loved them! Def recommend for anyone in PCB!”
“A very cozy charming and wonderful Deli on Harrison Avenue in the freshly remodeled downtown district. Great quiche and sandwiches and salads and soups and baklava. Can't lose here.”

I definitely recommend this place!”

“Mosey's Downtown in Panama City is an absolute gem! Their dry rub wings are a standout, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. Every visit guarantees a culinary delight, especially with these wings that offer a fantastic blend of spices and just the right amount of crispiness. Beyond the food, the atmosphere at Mosey's is always vibrant and welcoming, with excellent service that makes every dining experience special. Whether you're a local or just passing through, don't miss the chance to enjoy some of the best wings in town at Mosey's Downtown. A well-deserved five stars!”

“I couldn't wait to visit this place when I got into town. It was the early part of the afternoon, so it was nice to just chill with a few people. My then fiancée had never been in and the bartender made her a delicious Mermaid Tail, then we went out on the deck and took advantage of the many photo ops. The whole place in general is a nice bar; especially when they have the deck open and a little event is going on”
“Love the food, love the environment, love the staff. If I had to complain of one thing is there is no separate window/employee for Togo orders. I occasionally order at lunch time right before 12, and then have to wait in a long line for 20 min to just pickup my food, the line is NOT quick. On the phone I’m always told there is no line, everytime I get there though there is a long line obviously because food is great. I just wish there was a better solution!”
“I'm a regular at Angel's, nestled next to Tyndall Air Force Base, and it's an absolute gem in Panama City. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warmth that feels like coming home. The food, oh the food, is simply out of this world! I've adventured through the entire menu and haven't been disappointed yet. Even dishes I'd typically shy away from, like the coleslaw, are crafted here with such flair that I find myself savoring every bite.What sets Angel's apart isn't just the incredible cuisine; it's the whole experience. There's ample parking, and it's conveniently located next to a charming coffee shop, making it the perfect stop for anyone heading to the base or just passing through the area.I wholeheartedly recommend Angel's to anyone looking for a culinary delight. Whether you're a local or just in town for a visit, do yourself a favor and stop by. You won't just enjoy a meal; you'll discover a new favorite. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.”
“We are so glad there is now a sports pub in St. Andrews. Normally we would to to Beef's in Lynn Haven, or Salty Goat on the beach, but now we have something right in the neighborhood. Not that we won't go to our favorite places to watch football, but it is nice to have something close by on weeknights after working all day. The service was excellent. Great selection of beer and wine. They didn't have food at the time were there, but right next door in back is our favorite pizza place, slice house. We plan on making this our regular local hangout.”
“Wow. I don't know how else to describe the food here except, amazing. A lot of different items to choose from, entrees, sandwiches, fresh baked bakery items, desserts. I could go on and on. We've been here a couple of times now, since we first visited. Love coming here. You can dine in, or take out. Don't let the gas station distract you, they are NOT in the gas station. It's a separate restaurant, next door. Absolutely worth a visit. The service has always been fantastic.”
“I love this place! The meats & cheeses are really top quality! Fruits n veggies are always fresh! Quite a different selection of craft beers in all forms and many cidars as well!”
“Exquisite hot dogs, especially for a guy like d you can't eat red meat - they have both veggie dogs and turkey dogs available. Absolutely delicious!The interior is a bit on the dark side for a lunch spot, so take your sunglasses off before you go in or you will bump into someone or something.Definitely worth the visit and I can't wait to go back!”
“This place is a little gem! Cute ambiance and sweet owner. We enjoyed conversation with the bartender and its a perfect place for date, girl time or pregame ;)I will be back!”
“This place is absolutely amazing! Service was outstanding, food fantastic. Highly recommend the cornbread, it’s the best I’ve had. Will most definitely be a returning customer.”
“This place Hass to be the best damn pizza since New York Pizza clean atmosphere great food the pizza is absolutely amazing. I can’t stop bragging about it. If I can give this place 10 stars it would get 10 stars amazing pizza without a doubt.”
“Nevis, my server was very attentive, suggested the chicken lollipops, which were delicious, especially when dipped in the spicy sauce that accompanied them. The serving size was especially generous. The goat garam masala was incredible as well. Will definitely visit again.”
“Small, take-out type place but they have some outdoor seating as well. The pizza is DELICIOUS. Indian pizza is such a great fusion food. Paneer tikka pizza is a must try ! Will definitely be ”

“We had the opportunity to patronize this black owned restaurant while visiting Panama City Beach.We ordered the chili dogs and the sweet Thai chili wings.The best part of the visit was the service! The staff greeted us with smiles and was very friendly. We were quoted about a 15 min wait however it went to about 40 mins due to a fryer issue. We really didnt think much of it since we were sitting and playing their video games to stay occupied. They were running a little behind due to a fryer issue and the Cook took the time to check on us and give us an update. That was a big plus and showed that they truly cared.Only feedback we have is possibly mentioning there is beans in the chili on the hot dogs, also switching to all beef hot dogs. Non-beef dogs seem to be more mushy and with the perfect soft bun everything kind just melted together. The hot dog had a perfect char.Last thing is the wings were banging but they were so tiny. They were flavored and fried to perfection.We wish you all nothing but success!”

“We were a party of 4, one Celiac, Gluten intolerant, looking for a Gluten Friendly Chinese dine in. We found it here. Staff were very knowledgeable and friendly, one was celiac herself, and assisted in making gluten friendly selections. Food was excellent/delicious, I had Chicken Mei Sun, thin rice noodle, (gluten friendly) went back two days later for the same. Others (non celiac) had sweet and sour chicken with pork fried rice, shrimp egg rolls and regular egg rolls, vegetable fried rice. Everything was very satisfying.”
“At first our waitress was amazing, but she got slammed and she did her best, you could tell she was getting flustered, what I could not comprehend is the door greeter (who was just sitting playing with his phone) nor the bartender (was not busy ) just sitting behind the bar neither of them lifted a finger to help our waitress. Very bad customer service id have fired them on the spot, get people who want to work.”
“Very fun to have fun with the family "children over 5 years old I recommend it", however my youngest, who is 3 years old, had D+ fun. And the place is open until 1 ”
“Don't take people that are to serious. I was hilarious interacting with the severs and laughing at other tables. The food was okay we went for the experience.”
“This is small restaurant with about 10 tables--easy to miss. We went here 2x during our stay bec we needed a break from fried foods--cream cheese wonton and sesame shrimp were excellent!When we needed to entertain family in a pinch, this was the place to grab-n-go! Everything we ordered were well-cooked, very tasty!Special fried rice, Wonton soup (x2), Mongol beef, Sesame chic, Shrimp lo mein, for less than $60!!! More than enough for 8 people, with plenty of left-overs.This place was a pleasant surprise.”
“I found the chicken dry. But overall, it was good. The server Skylar was fantastic.Parking: Big parking lot, but it was full, and so was the restaurant.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu available.”

“The one in Panama City beach who delivered with Uber.., If this is the place the Chicken was burned or old it was horrible.. The fish had an ammonia smell like to it.. The rice jambalaya was very dry. Shrimp was sweet..not as in good..I do not advise you to go unless you are there to see them cook fresh ingredients.. I've ordered before a couple of times but it is a hit or miss....I love their chicken livers and gizzards so I'm giving it 5 stars..Ask them for the times they make their chicken.”
“yes, the food was really good, excellent actually. HOWEVER, never have myself and friends received such friendly, outstanding service like we received today from Ciera. Very attentive and smart; offering to-go box BEFORE we asked. Mrs Ciera, we thank you for old fashioned table service.”

“Just like White Castle's, basically. I wish they had more specials or lower prices. Because I feel like these sliders are overpriced. I still want them every once in a while. ?”
“I had 10 mins to spare this morning and went through the drive thru. I got my food and was directed to go to the next window for my hot coffee. No one ever came to the window, more than 10 ppl/orders came and went behind me and still no coffee. I finally at that point drove off because I was officially late for work. I called and asked for a Manager so I could let him know how poor the svc was. I was told that I could get a free coffee on my next visit. I was obviously very angry and told the mgr that it made me late for work and I only work across the street. SCOTT, the Manager of this location came to my office and brought me my coffee. Thank You Scott for going above and beyond! All of my co-workers were as impressed as I was.”
“Excellent food with an easy, relaxed vibe. Eat lunch and then grab dinner from the awesome meat, sides and wine selection. Chef dinners on Friday and Saturday nights are going to be epic! This place is an absolute must for people to experience. Period.”

“Tex Kitchen is an awesome place to go eat! Every time we've gone I have never been disappointed. I love their Corpus Christi tacos. My aunt bought the corn the other day and I was in love ❤️ I also enjoy how if you get the nachos to-go, they put the cheese at the bottom so the chips don't get soggy. I am especially happy they have a spot in Mexico Beach. Their food makes us very happy and the cook is a pleasure to be around, very nice ?”

“Had my usual oat milk latte. The latte was very good. No real prominent flavors to note. Smooth taste, no bitterness. I also tried a breakfast sandwich that was a big let down.

I hope this stays a hidden gem but something tells me it gets busy.”

Then there is the Chicken Fried Steak, the”

Beach Treats
“The service was amazing. The sweet employee had patience with my friends and my friend mother while we pick and made light hearted jokes. They give you a bang for your buck with the ice cream!

“I went with a friend right before it rained. They were super kind and provided us with free drinks sometime after we ordered our fries. Really cool place, and think it is somewhere that should be checked out.”
“This was my first time ordering here. The order person was so patient and helpful. I haven't had a chicken dinner this good in a long time. Thank you for serving me the best!”
“I always get my sandwich without ketchup and mustard, they got it right and marked the wrapper so we knew the difference.FriendlyGood food, great service and correct order.. need I say more”
“Today my server/cashier was Kenzie, and she was soooo nice and upbeat. Madison was working the other register, they were slammed but they were doing an AWESOME job. It’s so refreshing to get service with a smile. Great place to grab great food.”
“Breakfast biscuit was better than normal! BIG piece of chicken. Staff in line not there usual self. Staff at "window" definitely not their usual selves. May have been a stressful morning ?”
“I want to give this experience an 100 stars. Rebecca my cashier was amazing and kahena the manager was even more awesome!!! I love the fact that they actually make someone feel appreciated at this location my favorite one in Panama City. 10/10 will recommend again. The food was good too but what really did it for me was their hospitality!”

“Best Subway Club I have ever had.I always ask for "too many" pickles. Other Subways give me some 3xtra pickles. This lady gave me an abundance! It was awesome! ?”
“Ordered the chicken sandwich combo and the chicken sandwich was good but the fries not so much. The fries were lukewarm and undercooked.Kid-friendliness: Has kids menus”
“The food here is usually pretty good. My main complaint is that they've mixed my food with someone else's a couple of times, probably from being in a rush, but when I went back in or called in, they already realized their mistake and had my food ready for me. I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, it's inconvenient that I should have to do that, but it's impressive they're so admitting of their mistakes and are quick to fix them. They're also always very friendly.Dietary restrictions: Taco Bell does have a small selection of vegetarian options, which is what helps Taco Bell be the healthier fast food restaurant. I'd recommend the cheesy bean and rice burrito. It's cheap and always good. No meat in it.”
“The 2 guys at the window are hilarious ? made me chuckle onepopped up his head to say hi. Great to know someone has humor. They made.me smile anyway. And they make a great cup of coffee.”
“Biscuits are great, gravy not consistent, has browns are not bad but sometimes they are cold. A bit pricy but good food at times. Staff are extremely respectable. Would recommend eating inside rather than takeout. The only drawback is consistency ”
“Love it,fast friendly service.They recently stopped making fries before lunch... so sad, I'm an overnight worker and enjoyed being able to get lunch early... will not be going here much, I'm asleep during lunch and dinner. ?Kid-friendliness: My pup is my kid... He loves grilled nuggets.My grandkids love it also.”
“Update: The food was delicious! Fried clams done just right. Fried Okra and Cole slaw are perfection . Thank you Capt D!❤️----------Please bring back the POLLOCK fish tenders.Swai is not nearly as tasty and it's not wild caughtPollock is much better.”
“The food is a tad expensive for what you get, I could tell my veggies were out of a can and my snapper portion was a little on the small side for the price I paid. Tuna dip was ok. The oysters both raw and baked were delicious and my service was great!”
“Ordered the roast beef with carrots/rice Mac n cheese Lima beans w/cornbread. There's obviously some things i would've added (seasoning), however it was quite good for a restaurant. Love love country cooking, by far one of the better choices around bay county as far as that.”
“This is one we’ve been wanting to try for a bit now , decided to pop in for brunch right before an appointment . Riles was our server & did an amazing job , was attentive but not overly doting ? I have been wanting to try their dinner so we will be back & I’ll do an update at that ”

“This is a discount store for bakery items. I was able to purchase the bread I like (Nature’s Own) for less than in a grocery store. They had bread, bagels, cakes, cooks and even some candy. The only negative was the surly cashier who didn’t act like she wanted to be there. This is a good place to save in your bakery items.”
“Hidden Gem!! I didn't know this place existed but another Mexican place around the corner told me about them as I was on the hunt for menudo. They had that and so many delicious looking baked goods. The flan is to die for!”
“My entire family loves this cute little coffee shop. It’s so cozy, and the coffee and food is great. The people are also so welcoming, I would definitely recommend stopping in.”
“SweetFrog has fabulous rewards programs and they give me such great offers. They have all different kinds of yogurts and toppings you can choose from. It's easy to access the rewards and discounts from the kiosk touchscreen. It has been a great experience in my life and my family's lives. Thank You For Your Service!”
“I never leave Google reviews but this place deserves one. My hubby Jimbo and I went to this restaurant and had amazing food and outstanding service. We loved the retro atmosphere. We have found a new Restaurant we will be regular customers at. And we want to say Thank you to Teddy and staff. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.”
“Came here for a quick bite to eat for the first time. It was definitely not a disappointment. I ordered two tinga street tacos. It came with shredded cheese, shredded chicken onion in a juicy Chipotle sauce. On corn tortillas. I wish there was two because it was so juicy immediately fell apart their tortillas. They came with a little side of guacamole, tomatoes and lettuce.Very good. I will be back”

“I've been going here since it was Corner Pocket.. I'm old so I don't like change. So I am very much a "they turned the longhorn into a spaceship" type of guy. However, I can't say anything bad about this place. And honestly it's your best bet if you're looking for an actual pool hall anywhere in Panama City.”
“Nice place Good bartender named Sarah awesome needs to clean the mildew up that's in the bar it's going to make everybody sick other than that it's a fun place to visit I love it I love the people that go there's a friendly most of them good pool tables good drinks good beer you all want to try it sometime”
“I think this is the place Toby Keith was singing about when he wrote "I Love This Bar". If you were in the teens in the 60's during the Hippie Movement, this is it...looks like it was frozen in time and reopened just as it it was back then. It gives you that "just one more" feeling and you don't want to leave. I think I'll have my funeral service in this bar...what a way to go!!!”
“I can’t rave about this place enough! Just got in from out of town and was looking for a good family friendly place to take my family that wouldn’t break the bank! Great food, great people great prices! We will be back :)”
“Fantastic environment. Sat at the bar had chips and salsa and a margarita. Margaritas are huge and very good.Seated for dinner and had the California Burrito. It was fantastic. Lots of servers and everyone was very friendly. We met there with friends that recommended it and were pleasantly surprised!”
“We went to this restaurant because it was close by us. Turns out it was more than that!!! The service and atmosphere were great but our meals were EXCELLENT! I enjoyed the chimichanga with shredded beef which was delicious as was the freshly made quac and pico! Great flavors and presentation.”
“This is a dive bar with a small bar, a pool table, and a small kitchen.The name of the bar changed, over the years, but this little hole in the wall is known for having great WINGS and homemade BLEU CHEESE.The crowd is kind of a mix match of all walks of life. Don't expect a ton of people to be here it is more of a small, local crowd.The bartenders, who also do the food, are actually very nice once you get to know them. Just talk to them nicely, etc. They could come off as being short with newcomers, but that will subside if you treat them nicely.THIS ESTABLISHMENT ONLY TAKES CASH!!!-There is an ATM inside-No debit and no credit cards”
“This place seems like your normal cafe but it is much more. From Po boys to red beans and rice, you can find a lot of your favorite southern foods. Had the shrimp Po boy with a side of garlic bread. The Po boy was up there with the best I have had, and even tho the garlic bread tasted good, it was very basic, and I would probably choose something else for my side next time. At the end, I got some beignets for desert, and they tasted amazing. The Beignets very closely tasted like the original but were a lot smaller, and the chocolate dipping sauce didn't have any excitement to it. Our waitress was fast, and our food was quickly made and quick to arrive to our hands. Would definitely recommend this place for a good bite to eat.”
“Absolutely delicious. Can’t wait to go back. Staff was fabulous and the atmosphere is warm & quaint. Small area inside for seating but the outside seating was larger. I would highly ”
“The food was amazing! Juicy, flavorful, melt in your mouth ribs and chicken are to die for. The greens and coleslaw truly blew my mind. Their macaroni salad baked beans were divine. Finally the banana pudding is phenomenal! We just moved here and we have found our favorite bbq place!”

“This Arby's was open fairly late. Around 10p if memory serves. It was after a concert and those roast beef sandwiches and cheese sticks really hit the spot!”
“Diana is amazing!! 10/10 recommend this location. I live on the beach and this is going to be my go to Burger King!! That lady listen and ensured I got what I wanted. Amazing service!! When I tell you we got our meals super fast and they were hot! She’s a gem. That lady deserves a raise tbh.”
“My espresso shots in my latte weren't fresh. I come there at least once a week for my coffee & they take great care of me. They all work so efficiently together so I'm NEVER waiting more than 5mins.”
“Hands down the absolute best Jerk Chicken I have had in a long time. The small portion was huge, red beans and rice as well as plantains were included. The jerk seasoning was perfect. Spicy but not overpowering. Burnt but not charred to a crisp. Just right... Might have to come back to try the curries.”
“We had the opportunity to patronize this black owned restaurant while visiting Panama City Beach.We ordered the chili dogs and the sweet Thai chili wings.The best part of the visit was the service! The staff greeted us with smiles and was very friendly. We were quoted about a 15 min wait however it went to about 40 mins due to a fryer issue. We really didnt think much of it since we were sitting and playing their video games to stay occupied. They were running a little behind due to a fryer issue and the Cook took the time to check on us and give us an update. That was a big plus and showed that they truly cared.Only feedback we have is possibly mentioning there is beans in the chili on the hot dogs, also switching to all beef hot dogs. Non-beef dogs seem to be more mushy and with the perfect soft bun everything kind just melted together. The hot dog had a perfect char.Last thing is the wings were banging but they were so tiny. They were flavored and fried to perfection.We wish you all nothing but success!”
“My food was decent. Honestly it is hard to compare to my local Mexican restaurant. Not a great deal of flavor on my fajitas. However wife bragged on her taco salad. Daughter had burrito and liked it.”
“Excellent food and the prices are reasonable considering seafood has become a premium. All the seafood is great. Cooked perfectly. Don't expect to order a beer or wine since they don't sell alcohol. Here, lately, there have not been any raw oysters because they don't have a shucker. They only serve baked or fried.”
“Food was great service was on par for how busy the place was the atmosphere was nothing special very busy loud classic old school diner feel. Highly recommend for food alone and fair prices.”
“OMGoodness! If you want Chicken, that's better than KFC, Chicken that's juicy, tender,lightly breaded....Chicken that I'll bet is just about the best you ever had! Try Big Mama's! Then there is the cornbread, which I happen to love the slightly sweet kind, this is the best I've had on the beach! And You get a big ol' square! I could sit there & just eat the cornbread! Then there is the Chicken Fried Steak, the”

“My recent visit was an absolute delight, both gastronomically and in terms of service. The food served was nothing short of exceptional, with flavors that were both rich and satisfying, clearly showcasing the kitchen's commitment to quality and culinary skill.What truly set this dining experience apart, however, was the outstanding customer service we received. Our waiter was not only attentive, ensuring that our table lacked for nothing throughout the meal, but also took the time to share with us a glimpse into their culture. This personal touch added a unique and educational aspect to our meal, making it all the more memorable.The combination of delectable food and the warm, engaging service provided by our waiter made our visit a truly enjoyable one. It’s evident that this restaurant excels not only in their culinary offerings but in creating a welcoming atmosphere for their guests. I wholeheartedly recommend [Restaurant Name] to anyone looking for a dining experience that goes above and beyond.”
“Friendly staff, good food at reasonable prices.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp at front door and plenty of handicap parking. Lots of tables inside but enough room to get through with a wheelchair.”
“Every order I have had has been spot on and the care that goes into every meal from the layers of flavor and umami in every bite to the presentation. This is the work of a talented chef that loves what they do and cares about the food that has their name on it. I feel like family made it for me every time. I can se and taste the love! Thank you!!! I drive 45 minutes out of my way once because she came up on the WTF app and I got the alert near lunch time I guess that would kind of make me a sandwich stalker. They're food is THAT awesome .”
“This place is extraordinarily charming, and has a great selection of fresh made food items, and a plethora of different types of mimosas and wine-based alcohol beverages and some beers. Service was phenomenal, and the new brick paver roadways and wide sidewalks downtown put the icing on the cake.”

“One of the absolute best places in PCB. Looooove this place. Blackened grouper etoufee, shrimp, and lobster grits, chicken fried chicken with andouille gravy, and bread pudding. Will be back...”
“The absolute best oysters on our trip! Great price and service!I highly recommend this place. I rarely give a 5star. Atmosphere is homey vintage bar with dollars stapled on the wall. But it was very clean and friendly staff.”
“Service was ok! Slow. The Salmon add on for the Georgia Peach Salad was the best! The salad, not so much. The tomatoes and peaches were big pieces, not bite-sized. The peaches tasted like canned! And, it was a small salad! The Strawberry Mule was delish!”
“Exquisite hot dogs, especially for a guy like d you can't eat red meat - they have both veggie dogs and turkey dogs available. Absolutely delicious!The interior is a bit on the dark side for a lunch spot, so take your sunglasses off before you go in or you will bump into someone or something.Definitely worth the visit and I can't wait to go back!”
“Went in for breakfast and was blown away with what I encounter. Not only was the food outstanding the atmosphere and staff were 5 star. Actually was greeted to Andy and his gratefulness for our patronage was the powder on the cake. I highly recommend stopping in if no other reason then to buy a home made cookie.”
“Don't take people that are to serious. I was hilarious interacting with the severs and laughing at other tables. The food was okay we went for the experience.”
“I work at Aspen next door and I came in for a solo lunch. The gal that was my waitress. (I don't fully remember her name but she has a butterfly tattoo on the back of her arm. I think Elizabeth) She was so nice and everything I got came out delicious and hot. It was an expensive meal for lunch. But really no regrets.”
“Wow. This is a must stop. Great food, friendly and helpful staff and a really nice place. We had the stuffed grouper, very good. Salads and bread were excellent. No room for dessert, but they sure looked good!Parking: Easy in and out”
“My family and I came from Canada and this place was on our must visit list! Staff was very friendly and let us try samples!! Food was amazing definitely would come back!”
“Very fun to have fun with the family "children over 5 years old I recommend it", however my youngest, who is 3 years old, had D+ fun. And the place is open until 1 ”
“Had my usual oat milk latte. The latte was very good. No real prominent flavors to note. Smooth taste, no bitterness. I also tried a breakfast sandwich that was a big let down. Basically a microwaved jimmy dean breakfast biscuit unfortunately. Was able to enjoy my latte and breakfast sandwich up the road at the park watching the sunrise!”
“Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!! The food was nice and hot and fresh. The shrimp was juicy and cooked perfectly. The chicken tenders were juicy and the steak.. everything was delicious.”
“I can't get over just how good the Garlic Burgers are. I could have eaten the wrapper if I wasn't full. The fried were fresh and seasoned to perfection. The milkshakes are out of this world.”
“Food was really good. We both had Taco salads. Could have used a little more lettuce and wasn't crazy about the taste of the Taco salad shell, but plenty of meat. Would rather the salad shell have been more like the chips. But still very good. I would eat it again! Maybe add some guacamole and lettuce! One negative, $3.49 for a tea or Coke is HIGH!"Parking: Plenty of parking!”
“Well Google you made it almost impossible to find the path to write a review but I didn't quit because it would have been terribly unfair to our server Shelby. She was so attentive and pleasant. We had two small children in our party and they are sometimes undecided when it comes time to order. Shelby showed great patience. Our order came out with the plates still hot. She was very timely checking at the table at just the right moment to see if we needed another beverage or desert. She's a great employee, if I ran a restaurant in this area I would steal her away!”

“This is the best Mexican food in Panama City, Fl with great competitive prices! The food is delicious! I got to sample ALL the menu before i got my pick! The man and woman in the truck are super nice and welcoming all the time! Ill be stopping by again soon!”
“Lovely small business! Place was very clean, food was fresh and authentic, and the staff was so friendly. Server was very kind with my marginal Spanish, haha. Food was great and didn’t take long at all. We got the daily special which was a pork chop, beans and rice, and a bowl of amazing soup with a fantastic cold tomato salad. Very reasonable price.I suggest they put out a specials board or maybe some pictures of foods so that English speakers can just point to what looks good haha. Also maybe make the name more clear that it’s a food place vs a drink place to draw in more people!Also, service was prompt and food was out in a very reasonable time.I hope this place makes it! Great folks.”
“The wheat beer was fantastic! I've never been a fan of mustard based BBQ sauce until now. The pulled pork sandwich was a perfect blend, where the sauce did not overpower the smoky flavor of the meat. I'm now a fan, but only at this establishment!”
