At 12 everyday they play the Star Spangled Banner, everyone stops and honors the flag. A true patriotic establishment. I have never been disappointed. 23rd Street location in Panama City Fl“

“Went here to take my Fiancé on a date & it was very good. I've been here before & it was really good then as well. Staff told us it was about a 10-15 minute wait & would text me when our table was ready. When it was we were seated & the waiter took our drink, appetizer, & entree orders. Took a minute to receive our drinks but received a loaf of bread following. My Fiancé then acquired the side that goes to her entree… We then received our dinner but not our appetizer. I told our waiter approximately 3-5 times that we were still waiting for it. We received it after eating our meals & bread all while sipping on multiple drinks… He eventually brought it out & apologized & said that the restaurant was going to cover it. He was professional & friendly. All the food & drinks were superb & the atmosphere with the dim lights was amazing. Staff were friendly, helpful, & presentable. A friend of ours works here as well as another friend who I don't believe works here anymore. The restaurant seemed clean. They do have a bar.“

“Absolutely love this location. The food is always delicious and great portions for the price. We visit every time we are here. Recommend to all our friends and Family.“

“This past Saturday October 18th I was part of a wedding at the conservation park. Sonny's BBQ handled the food for this event. They sent two of the best staff to serve the food for this wedding Savanna and Caitlin. These two ladies went above and beyond. Not only did they set up their area beautifully and move the guest line at a quick pace when it was time to eat. They also saw us struggling with a time deadline and wind not cooperating with our decorations they jumped right in and helped us get the last minute things done- Even held down the reception area so all of us could walk and see the wedding ceremony a short walk across the park. I hope they see this and know that we greatly appreciate the extra things you did to help their day be so beautiful <3“

“I have eaten at Major's Smokehouse many times since they have opened at their new location in Lynn Haven, Florida. The staff is always friendly, courteous and ready to help. This is a family owned, Christian establishment which creates a relaxing atmosphere by playing Christian music in the background and its charming, rustic decor is perfect for a barbecue restaurant. Some favorites are the smoked chicken salad, smoked wings, baked beans, amazing brunswick stew and you can't forget the homemade banana pudding. We will be back. See you next time Major's!“

“Stopped by for lunch today and picked up some tacos and they were delicious! Followed by a sweet mangonada slushie, I definitely will be visiting again“
