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.”

“Great experience every time!”

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“amazing friendly service great food!!”

“Best Vietnamese Restaurant”

“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!”

“We we found this restaurant on the internet and we had to try it. When I tell you it brought back memories from my grandmother, and mother it was that good me and my husband came in and spent a few days from Fort Walton Beach the manager and our server was excellent. Everything came out hot, was excellent I highly recommend best restaurant. Blessings to you and your whole staff. We will be coming back 😇😇”

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

“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.”

“sooooo weird and sooooo good”

“Went with wife and two kids. Service wass great. Waitress took time with the kids. Food was great. Had chicken fried chicken, shrimp and grits, and two kids meals. Would for sure visit again.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Honestly, the best cachapa I’ve ever had! The cachapa was absolutely delicious, and the steak… WOW! 🤤🔥 It was so flavorful, juicy, and perfectly cooked. Everything was excellent, from the food to the service. If you’re looking for authentic and delicious Venezuelan food, ARIO is definitely a place you have to try.

I would absolutely come 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 !”

“Awesome customer service! We love Shelton! Recommend the anti pasta egg rolls!”

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

“Copper Tap never disappoints! This is definitely a hidden jewel in St Andrews. My husband and I go often as it’s our favorite in Bay County. We always request Ally as our server. She is so attentive with exceptional customer service. I’ve not eaten a bad meal there. Our favorites are the smoked tuna dip, two chics and pasta dish, and the caramel cheesecake. Go see Ally and tell her Julie sent ya!!”

“Seriously the best Mexican food around!!!”

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

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

“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.”

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

“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”

“Waited 10 mins to place order, girl at window gives me my drink and it is spillling all over me , no customer service at all!!! Get down the road no straw and there is a whole in my cup so now am wearing my drink trying to drive , it is all over my car!! as business franchise owners, you need to reevaluate your customer service and employees. It’s a disgrace.”

“Had an awesome experience from this store. The sugar cookies we got for my family everyone loved. The Manager Alannah and her staff was kind and professional taking care whatever of we needed getting our order right. She made our local experience worth coming back”

“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.”

“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.”

“Best friendly local hotspot”

“First time there and ordered the smoked tuna dip. It was so SCRUMPTIOUS! The seasoning was perfect! This will be my new Friday fish dinner.”

“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.”

“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!”

Get down the road no straw and there is a whole in my cup so now am wearing my drink trying to drive , it is all over my car!! as business franchise owners, you need to reevaluate your customer service and employees.

“Good food family friendly prices”

“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!”

“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!”

“Went on Valentine's Day for lunch and it was incredible can't wait to go back!!
Update because I finally tried their boba. It's perfect. Nowhere else I've been gets the tapioca texture so perfect so consistently. It's amazing. I always order something different here because the food is just perfect.”

“First time here nothing was bad but nothing was great either. Lamb Gyro was lacking flavor in the meat and the Taziki sauce. I'll say this they were busy and the place is clean.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Cafe is one of our favorite places to eat! The food is always delicious, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. We love the relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere—and picking a song on the jukebox is part of the fun. It’s clear how much care goes into making people feel at home. We’re grateful to have such a wonderful local restaurant and can’t wait to come back!”
