“Best meal we had all week. The Grouper sandwich and Mahi- Mahi were delicious and the hush puppies were on point. The best part of the meal, as crowded and busy as they were, was our service from our server Earlene. I can't say enough good things about this young lady. Good manners and service all wrapped up with personality. We will definitely be back!!“

“We just left and had an absolutely amazing experience. Our server was very nice and patient. She did a wonderful job serving all 12 of us! Food was amazing. Service was amazing! Couldn’t ask for more thank you for a great experience!!!“

“Came here for the waffle fries. Apparently they don't carry them anymore. Bring that back. I literally drove 30 miles for your waffle fries

Edit. I'm driving home and wondering how anyone could think that getting rid of the crispy delicious waffle fries for soggy fries that I could get at Wendy's. I love this place but this really disappointed me“

“RHS77 and fellow alumni thoroughly enjoyed our Meet n Greet tonight! Y’all did an awesome job! We had so many comments on how wonderful the food and staff was! We highly recommend Gary’s Oyster Shack!“

“After a huge disappointment at Ferruchi, I walked my husband to Steam on 5, having heard about their amazing view, bar, and drinks, and wow, it did not disappoint. We sat right at the bar with the bay view behind us, soaking in the sunny, beautiful scene. The bartender was attentive and engaging, crafting the most incredible mango mocktail for me while my husband enjoyed another specialty drink. The cocktails were truly wow-worthy.
When the bartender learned it was my husband’s birthday, they sang to him, and even the other guests joined in, such a cute moment! People were enjoying food around us, and even though we had already eaten, every dish that came out of the kitchen looked incredible. We will absolutely be back. Thank you for such a memorable and joyful experience!“

“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.“

“Alice’s was highly recommend by a local. I had grilled grouper and it was excellent! Best fish dinner I’ve had in a long time. Father-in-law had fried shrimp, also excellent! For desert I had bread pudding with a bourbon sauce, also excellent! I’ll definitely be back again!“

“Yummy food, friendly staff, comfortable even with toddler.“

“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.“

“Good food and great service“

“Dinner at Shuckums was a real pleasure. From being welcomed by all the "regulars" there who I invited to share my high-top to my server Jersey (Jessica M) who gave me excellent recommendations and took wonderful care of me. I went with a dozen raw oysters to start, and they were awesome...plump, perfect size, tender, and a very nice brine flavor. Almost ordered a second dozen and skipped dinner. Decided to try the fried shrimp and grilled scallops with onion rings. The shrimp were superb with great breading and perfectly fried while the scallops were tender with mild flavor. Overall, a great meal and I'm going to dine here at least one more time before I depart. Very welcoming atmosphere, cool vibe, great food, and the service was great!“

“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.“

“Ordered takeout from Door Dash. Everything was hot and delicious when it arrived. We have a new favorite restaurant! Excellent!“

“We have been there three times now with our stay. Food has always been great as well as the service. We highly recommend“

“😀Julia was an exceptionally server. My husband and I constantly go out to eat dinner and she is one of the best server we have ever encountered. She keeps coming to check on us to see if we like the food or needed anything. She was very professional and funny at the same time. We hope to see her again next time we visit.“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Yessica was our server and she is the best! Our experience at this bar & grill was AWESOME!!“

“Soooo good! If you are celiac, go here!!!! I cannot express my gratitude. I haven’t had fried pickles, fried tomatoes or fried grouper in such a long time and when I have, it has been subpar. If I could give 10 stars, I would and Nevaeh was so knowledgeable and kind! Thank you!“

“Went through drive thru at Captain D's on 23rd st. In the evening, ordered (3) 2 piece fish dinners (2) with okra and slaw, (1) with green beans and slaw, then (1) 4 piece fish dinner with corn and slaw. We asked for an additional side of okra (not in the bag) it was on the receipt. Tried to call the phone number 3 times, no answer. Was not about to drive back. We were exaused from traveling. Otherwise fast service, customer service was great. Just need to answer your phones. We are on vacation, drove all the way from manawa, wisconsin. Maybe they will be nice enough and get us a free desert. We will see.“
