47 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Over and over“

“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.“

“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“

“We stopped into our favorite Applebee’s here in Panama City Florida for some half-price appetizers and some great conversation. We met the bartender Jamie, who was so kind patient and very helpful with every need. We had to enjoy our meal. We are so very thankful to have met her for the first time and we feel she is very genuine in all that she does. We truly appreciate her and she made our experience here at our favorite Applebee’s the best it’s ever been thank you so much, Jamie. You are amazing Kerry and Lisa Merritt.“

“The snapper is great. Not many places have it. Also their Mai Tai is a true delight. It is the original recipe. The only
Place in PC where you can find the real thing. Other places say they can make it but no other place can. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great menu.“

“We took a 3 hr tour with Anchor Charters and when we got back to the dock CPT Chris said the food here is good. He was right. There were six of us (4 adults/2 children) and there was something for everyone. The calamari was delish and we were surprised by the large portion. The blackened grouper was perfectly seasoned. The jalapeno cheese appetizers were super tasty as well. Everything was delicious and the waitress was excellent. Will be back!“

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.“

“Great peeps, location and grub!!“

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

“ADDRESS HERE WILL NOT TAKE YOU TO THE RESTAURANT! Go to the Bluegreen’s bayside resort, then walk through out back and follow the pier. IT IS QUITE A LONG WALK but it’s scenic!They’ve changed the menu and things listed here online they no longer serve. The food was good albeit a bit pricey for what it was. I got the sun goddess salad and it was good. My mother got a crab tortilla wrap thing that had homemade potato chips and those were amazing!It’s very small and has a limited bar imo.HOWEVER the view is divine. The view and atmosphere make up for the other lacking qualities.“

“Love Bikini Bob’s! Everyone that works there is awesome! At my most recent visit, Dean provided great customer service and good conversation while I waited for my order.“

Didn't require alot of interaction but the waitress and staff was nice. Limited inside seating but ample outside seating. Worth a try for sure.“

“Great staff/employee's.

Even though I made my order late at night near closing time I was greeted professionally and my order was completed in a few minutes of ordering.

The food tasted great, the establishment was very clean and the employee's move with a purpose.

Hands down one of the best experiences I've had in a long time here in panama city.“
