46 Best American Restaurants in Panama City

“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 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!!!“

“The new Culver's in Callaway is impressive! Big and very clean the people are friendly! My brother and I with his wife went and had dinner there tonight. The double butter burger looks bigger on the display. When I got it, I was a bit underwhelmed. However, their custard definitely made up for it. Overalls, a good meal.“

“I am currently student at FSU Panama City, and when I am on campus for class I always get my fill at The Sandy Spear. On campus so I do not need to leave and waste gas on an extra drive for lunch. It's at the back of the campus right by the water, so you have a beautiful view while you study and snack. The staff could not be more friendly and the food is exactly what I am looking for when I am on the go before or after class. The Buffalo Chicken Shack Fries are my current go to, but I also enjoy a good salad for a lighter meal. I have had most of the menu and I have not been disappointed. If you find yourself on campus and feeling the need for a good bite, you have my recommendation.#SandySpearFSUPC

Parking: On campus, so there are plenty of spots available. I have never had trouble finding a place to park.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp leading from the school to the restaurant. Easy access for wheelchairs or someone with crutches even.“

“Great place for lunch! This chain offers some great sandwich, soup, and salad combos, and all of it is very good. The Newk's Q, Newk's chicken salad, and the French Dio were all delicious. The Lobster Bisque was excellent as well. You can combine half sandwiches, half soup, or salad.“

“Good service, good food!!“

“Surprising spot just off 23rd. Food was really good, and is well priced. You can easily get a good breakfast and a coffee for $10. They don’t offer specialty coffee drinks, but it’s a good cup of coffee. My food arrived quickly, and was a good portion (especially for the price). I was a bit shocked to be the only patron. I’ll keep swinging by for a good breakfast.“

““B” is the best! Such a fun experience for my birthday weekend.🎉“

“I currently work for Charlie and Linda Coram and I ate at Coram's way before I ever got a job w them. I was hired for the new restaurant on 15th street which only recently opened in October 2023. it has some major differences from the old store but given the chance we can prove how great we can be. the owners and staff put their heart and soul into making things great and better when not up to par. sometimes opening a new place is a lot of trial and error and figuring out the staff that fits but when things are right the food is amazing. the prices are no more than similar restaurants on most items and still cheaper than buying your own food and then having to cook it. we already have lunch specials and new dinner specials but in the next week more changes will be made and more improvements to the food, staff and anything else anyone has complained about. Linda and Charlie take their restaurant as serious as possible and they listen or read every complaint and try to fix it. so I'm asking as an employee and a customer of this great restaurant for y'all to give it one more try before saying u won't go back. remember nothing is easy on this life and especially opening a restaurant. but I truly have faith in the upcoming approvements that will make everyone happy. and please don't hesitate to let us know what we have done wrong so we can make it better. please follow for close updates“

“I've been in and out of Panama City for years, but yesterday was the first time I stumbled upon Josiah's and what a place! Home cooked food cooked with passion, love, and personality by the owner, Ms. Sherylyn. This wonderful lady loves her customers and you'll see that when you walk in the doors.
This quaint soul food restaurant offers some of the best food you're going to get in Panama City!
The catfish, grouper, wings... are all good, and I only wish I could have tried more. The homemade cakes are to die for. Definitely give this place a try if you're in the area, it's worth it!“

“Lovely restaurant on the ocean. Great service and one of the best steaks I've ever had.“

“Update….. Sept. 27, 2024….
Each time we come, I order something different and it is just so good! Kylee, the waitress is excellent! Thank you for such an exceptional experience! The chef definitely knows how to get to all my tastebuds!

Such a nice little place! Each time we have visited it has been just fabulous! The food and the waitstaff are superb!! Reanne is absolutely precious! We would steal her away for our own restaurant if we could. The food is always delicious! Hope the owner knows how lucky he is with the staff here. We will continue to return from the other side of bridge for food and drink. Just FYI, we have noticed that the constant bending to go under the bar is awkward for staff the last 3 times we have visited.“

Thank you to Po Folk for being a part of Bay county for so long, this location will always have me and my family coming back time and time again.“

“This was a local cafe next to a quilt store my wife stopped at and a nice treat. Daily specials and breakfast menu. BLT was delicious and wife got fried fish and shrimp plate with squash and onions, spinach casserole and green beans all was very flavorful. Desserts looked awesome but we were full. Love finding a truly local place to eat. Good prices too“

“Best breakfast and service around!“

“Not only is this a nightclub. This is a wonderful place in the community that helps our families in need during Christmas. We always try to do anything we can to help out the community. A lot of people try to knock them because of fights and stuff that have happened there which has happened at any club you go to but at the end of the day these guys care about our community and our kids and we need more places like this to go to in our town. We go from club La Villa and Spinnaker are in all that to having nothing but vibes. Thank you guys for everything you do.“

“Delicious food! And the serving staff is absolutely amazing!“

“Hadn't eaten here in a few years and I had a coupon so I thought I'd get something different, plus I wanted some broccoli ? I ordered the 4-pc fish with 2 sides of broccoli. It was actually so delicious that I've decided to go again in a week. The only issue I had was with the hush puppies, they were almost bland & too moist, no crunch on the outside. Otherwise the meal was great.“
