Restaurants in Panama City Beach

“Lovely atmosphere and liked the food served hot n tasty. Must try fusion food options”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Local Steamer Seafood Market in PCB was AMAZING!! Everything was seasoned perfectly and portions were plentiful. We had the “Famous Royal Red Shrimp Platter” (left), “Giant Snow Crab Platter” (right), and “ Dave’s Jumbo Peeled Shrimp Platter” (not pictured but looks just like the 1st pic minus shells). There’s a dining area inside and also tables outside at the entrance. You order on a kiosk screen and grab your drinks then find a table and wait for them to cook it. The cook will let you know when it is ready. It is worth every penny!”

“The Wicked Wheel in PCB is great for food allergy information!! They have a book with all the details! Fast service & food. Great outdoor seating. Shayne went above and beyond!”

“We had the first one on the menu, can’t remember the name. The locals highly recommend this place and it doesn’t disappoint!! Highly recommend and will be back! From TX with love!”

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Hidden Coffee Gem in the Beach Shopping Center I’m thrilled to share my experience at Techspresso, a cozy little nook tucked behind Turtle Girls and Dollar General in the Beach Shopping Center along Front Beach Road. Don’t let the unassuming entrance fool you—this spot is a quietly amazing retreat for coffee lovers.”

“I got a smoked chicken quesadilla today. It was by far the best I’ve had. I rate it up there with p**** and watermelon.”

“That's it...3 times I've eaten this amazing food in 4 days. The other restaurants can't compete. The price, quality, and service are fantastic. I guess I'll need to open of these back in my home town.”

“Love this place!! Casual and just delicious!!”

Vegetarian options: Onion rings were delucious, and came with a cheese dipping sauce. Next time will try cheese curds.”

“Delicious coffee, amazing food, wonderful vibes and amazing staff. I can't wait to come back next year!”

“Topping off our delightful experience today was attentive Ashton with her friendly impeccable service. It was relaxing sitting under the fan next to the pool eating amazing food by the chef which this trip included Tuna Dip, She-crab Soup and Grouper Bites. Can't wait to return to try Grouper Low Country.”

“Awesome. Amazing!!!! Muffalata to die for!!”

“Fun fun place! Has a local vibe to it and was such a neat atmosphere! I am definitely adding this to my “must do’s” when I visit PCB.”

“If you’re looking for the perfect brunch spot—this is it! Everything was absolutely delicious from start to finish. The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. We had a little bit of everything—sweet, savory, and in between—and every bite was better than the last. The vibe was relaxed but lively, and the service was just as amazing as the food. 10/10 recommend treating yourself here. Brunch goals officially achieved! 🥂🍳🧇”

“Food was amazing and service was even better!! we had nate as our waiter and he absolutely went above and beyond!!”

“Very nice staff, was very accommodating when we asked for a table verses a booth. Waiter was very sweet and attentive. Food was outstanding! We all had something different, and no one left unsatisfied. I loved the feeling of the atmosphere in the restaurant, very relaxing. Highly recommend Bella Roma 's if you want good authentic Italian food.”

“We had our daughter's birthday celebration (seven adults), and they did not disappoint. Everything was delicious, and everyone was happy with full bellies. The staff was super friendly and great service! Will be back again.”

“People leaving a 1 Star rating and never have been in the place...ridiculous! Whoever monitors this site...if anyone...should remove idi0ts like this.”

“I'm really out of my league on this people I'm not a fan of Italian food, but I will share that my family of five loves it. Hope this helps. Staff were amazing and very friendly and service was great!”

“Forget about all the beach side overpriced seafood. This is one of the best sushi places I’ve been to. And the wait staff is the best experience I have ever had at a restaurant.”

“Fun night and really great show. Music is lively and brings back a lot of memories. Band is very talented. Dooling pianos were exceptional. Meal was tasty. A must do experience while in PCB.”

“Pretty delicious for a family of 6. Our server was a young man who was very kind and helpful.”

“They were very busy and sat our large group as quickly as they could. The pizza and garlic knots were amazing! When we visit PCB, we will be back!”

“Yummy yummy roll and spicy girl roll are my husband and I's 7 year long favorite sushi rolls at this restaurant, respectively. Pro tip - Order from their website. Best sushi around in my opinion. Nice place for a date! We used to eat in more when we lived closer. Affordable and delicious, you must try it before you pass it up or before you leave town if you are visiting the area. Family friendly place as well nice calm atmosphere, great staff.”

“We wanted sushi! We got it!”

“We had a phenomenal dinner here celebrating the first night of our babymoon! Ally (our waiter) the hostess, and (assuming) the manager were all so accommodating and they even wrote a sweet note to celebrate! We will for sure be back!”

“We found this hole in the wall when looking for something besides seafood and steak at PCB. It was a nice change up.
The place is small, and appeared to be run by a very nice older couple. The restaurant was not loud at all like most of the eateries here. Very clean with the booths/tables all in good shape. There is nothing fancy about this place, which isn't a bad thing.
The couple were pleasant and respectful all evening. They did struggle a little on keeping up with the number of patrons, but no one seemed to mind at all.
The food was good. I had the chicken yakitori. It's basically a Japanese version of chicken skewers. The soy sauce seemed to be a little burnt on the plate at first, but a nice flavor. The yum yum sauce tasted freshly made. The chicken was good.
A nice place to eat if your party wants to get away from...the party.”

“Tray was a phenomenal server! He made sure to bring the most excellent butter (which was asked for) for the crab legs. Very quick service and great food overall. I would definitely recommend.”

“While attending a board meeting and on a lunch break I tried the grouper sandwich blackened. The crisp lettuce and tomato with a slice of red onion was delicious. But the aioli sauce made the tender thick fillet of awesome fish perfect. Seasoned just right and a bistro salad to start I wasn’t hungry for dinner till much later. It was fantastic! The salad with cranberry and cucumber and cherry tomatoes was amazing. The sliced toasted almonds were a nice touch. Blue cheese dressing on side of course. My server was very attentive and friendly. Very kind lady as were all the staff were during my stay. Enjoy”

“We were in Panama City Beach and stumble upon harpoon Harry’s and I’m so glad that we did. It’s the best waterfront view that we’ve ever had while eating. The food was fabulous and fresh, I would definitely go back again! We had this pull apart cheesy garlic bread for an appetizer and it was incredible. Between the two of us we had a coconut shrimp dinner and grouper finger dinner. Easy access to the beach to photograph the sunset!”

“Nicky was the best Server! We will be back☕️”

“Stopped in late on NYE and we were greeted by an incredibly friendly staff and crazy fast service. Best Waffle House experience we’ve ever had, and really one of the best customer service experiences we’ve ever had anywhere. All the staff were friendly, however Cam was our server and he was fantastic- born to be in the hospitality/customer service industry.”

“Sausage biscuits and gravy. 2 eggs and hot tea. Excellent. we go every morning. can't beat the price and service..Wait staff are awesome and friendly. thank you”

“Walked in a was immediately greeted by Mr. G! He was awesome! He talked to our toddler and played frozen songs for her. Then gave her a hat and took a family photo for us. The food was fantastic and was placed in front of us within 5-6 minutes. He was so incredibly kind. Will try and come back on our next trip here.”

“Food is fresh, better location than the others in the area. Service is better! Always clean and kept up!”

“Needed a short notice accommodation and I found this place. We ended up on the 5th floor and absolutely loved it! Bikini Beach will now be our goto place and hope we can get the same room. There was a gentleman housekeeper that went above and beyond to assist me with extra trash bags and even offered to take our trash out. Simple, but great place to stay.”

“Best burger ever!! Drove from Wisconsin to get the best burger around!!”

“Their unsweetened tea is to die for. 🤪”

“We ate there over this list week 1 night, great fresh, hot food. I had the Cajun platter with a side of collard greens and did not disappoint. The catfish was amazing, the gumbo, shrimp etoufee and red beans and rice were all very flavorful. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone. Will definitely be returning when we come back.”

“Absolute best cauliflower crust pizza on the planet! Sophia is a doll and so pleasant. Great servers make great experiences!”

“My husband and I have been twice now, and it is an absolute pleasure! We have enjoyed a variety of small plates, and will continue to try new dishes. We feel that for the overall quality, service and variety of flavors, this is a dining treasure.”

“We had a great first experience on a busy Saturday morning. Signed up online for the waitlist, told us about an hour-gave us time to drive there, check in, and wait about 5 minutes. The outdoor patio was so nice with our dogs, everyone’s food was great, loved the cocktail menu! The women who checked us in and our server were both friendly. Will definitely return again on our next trip to the area.”

“Jade and Onika did a wonderful job taking care of my friends and I. We felt very welcomed and our food came out very fast. I recommend this location to anyone in the area or stopping by.”

“Everything from the food to service was amazing! I got hibachi chicken and it was cooked to perfection. Stephen was my server and made sure we I had everything I needed. Highly recommend.”

“I fell in love with this place as a child and now I bring my children here. I am a Dippin dots fanatic anyway, so having this staple here at the beach makes our trips here every year that much better!”

“Great Place,good food ,good service, decent prices. Clean and friendly”

“Hands down the best ice cream in PCB!”

“Great atmosphere and awesome service”

“Best shrimp boil I’ve ever had, from the seasoning to how well it’s cooked. Can’t beat it!”

“Who cares about atmosphere? This is probably the best Ice Cream place in the world. My wife and I get a lot of ice cream, we really like Hershey's the best. The flavors don't seem artificial. Our favorite flavors are Key lime, Banana pudding, bourbon something and cappuccino. Flavors are strong and true. Best ever!”

“Food & service was great. Gets very packed but wait was not long. Similar to a waffle house. They have a breakfast buffet but we chose to order breakfast platters. Very busy & loud.”

“Best tacos in Panama City Beach, love this place, every Wednesday and Sunday like clockwork!!! Definitely should try it, he won’t regret it!!”

“This place deserves a 10 STAR!!!⭐️ The food was AWESOME!!”

“Stopped here with my husband for a quick bite after leaving the beach. Very clean and the food was excellent. It was just what we needed after a long day outside. We had the curry goat with pasta, peas and rice. We also had the Manish soup and a veggie plate with cabbage, calleloo, plantains, with peas and rice. Everything was wonderful and Chales did a great job of meeting all of our request. If your looking for authentic Jamaican food this is the place.”

“I love it here, outside seating and you can bring your pets... I just love Gina,she is the best”

“great food, great people, great moments”

“We ate at the Triple J Steakhouse, and the food was amazing! When we first got to the restaurant, we asked the hostess for a nutrition menu due to my niece having celiac disease, and the young man stated he needed to get a manager. The manager came over and was very rude when she was walking to approach us, as she was shaking her head back and forth, saying, Well, you know we have baked potatoes, and started naming items that didn't have flour on the food. She said you can basically have anything with no flour. She approached us as if she knew everything about a gluten-free diet. We waited for 45 minutes before we were seated, which was fine with us. We waited, and we were greeted by the best waitress ever, and her name was Sydney! She was so sweet and energetic. She was able to look in the nutrition allergy binder and was able to confirm the items my niece asked for were gluten-free. As she was asking us our drink order, the same lady who was the manager, and her name is Janette, didn't say "excuse me" or introduce herself or anything; she leaned forward over the waitress to put the silverware on the table, and when she brought the appetizers on small plates, she only brought two, and my sister politely stated, "Ma'am, we will need one more plate for my daughter." The manager proceeded to say, Okayyy, in a very irritating voice, like she was frustrated with us. When she brought the third plate, she just slammed it on the table and didn't say a word. The lady really needs to work on her manners and how she approaches her customers and how she talks to her staff as well. But I was impressed by the food and the waitress.”

“absolutely delicious pizza and wings!!”

“Food was amazing!! Their fried chicken is the best tasting and the pork chop was delicious and soooo tender. You could cut the pork chop w a fork. Yummy. The poppyseed salad was the best and the green beans ooh, so good! But the sweet potato I couldn't get enough...yummy, yummy, yummy! I'm too full to eat dessert but they let you take that home w you. Our waitress, Kaitlyn, was so sweet and attended to our every need. A place we will recommend to our friend's and family. Now to go and walk off those extra calories. Haha! Well worth the extra calories!!!!”

“The Papa supreme is so so yummy !!! I recommend this pizza !! All the staff are friendly and helpful especially Sasha !! Answered all questions about the pizza. ??????❤️”

“While On vaca in PCB we ate at Salty Sue’s the first day. Everything was good. We had blackened grouper which was cooked perfectly. Fish and chips, calamari, fried oysters, were all very good as well. Two of us went back our last night for the grouper again. This is the only place where you can get cobbler of the day as a side dish with a meal. My sides were steamed broccoli with butter and a tasty blackberry cobbler with vanilla ice cream. Well done Salty Sue’s! We will be back every time we r in PCB”

“Food and drink are so good!”

“Had the best barbecue potato today. Very nice people working there. Chicken was very good as well. Will be going back!!!”

“As much as I love pizza, we opted for a couple of salads tonight. My Husband had the Greek and I had a Caesar. ALL of the ingredients in both were super fresh and everything was absolutely delicious!”

“The main server is the kindest woman I have ever met. I feel like family whenever I go. I wish pho express the most business and the best of luck for the rest of time. See you guys soon!!🩷”

“Absolutely loved the place excellent food cold beer in a frosted mug. Marlo our waitress was excellent we really enjoyed our dining experience”

“Today was our first visit to Shades Bar & Grill. We were there for lunch & the food & service (our server was Sarah) could not have been better. We ordered the chicken & sausage gumbo, Philly cheesesteak & the chicken jalapeño ranch wrap. Our sides were onion rings & sweet potato fries, however we had a hard time making a selection because of the many great food options to choose from. All the food was delicious & Sarah was a top notch server who was friendly, prompt & efficient. Definitely recommend & will visit Shades again when back in the area.”

“Cool lil spot on the beach. Be sure to look at the inside bar. We skipped the wait and just ate at the bar. We had oysters, grilled redfish and shrimp and crab legs, it was all delicious! . Be sure stop in and get u a Sharkys souvenir cup!”

Our taste buds were having a darn party!! I am picky with my Mexican food. As a Mexican Texan, I fully recommend this Mexican food❣️”

“We ate there tonight and this will be included as one of our favorite places! We had the pot roast and fried chicken. The helpings were large, and absolutely delicious! We love that this restaurant supports our military, and Salutes America!”

“Great food friendly staff.”

“Is there anyplace better for ice cream and fudge? This Kilwins is exactly like the many, many others we have visited which is what you want.

If you see one,go on, you will be very happy.”

“Went into Playa while my family ate next door. Got an acai bowl. It was delicious! My son went back the next day and brought us all bowls to the beach. They were all great!”

“Great food! Great service!”

“This place is awesome! 5 stars for sure!”

“We have tried three different Mexican restaurants around town and this was the best food by far. It wasn’t outstanding or anything but definitely the best in town. I don’t recommend the fajitas. I ordered the steak and chicken combo fajitas and they were very plain no seasoning and they didn’t come out sizzling. My daughter got the carnitas plate and it was delicious. The only complaint I have is the staff. The lady at the front, didn’t even greet us, or smile one time, just asked how many, and seated us. And our server never came back to refill our water or to see if we needed anything else.”

“We had dinner here tonight, food was delicious, service was excellent, great job Jaylen, thank you for being friendly, and a big smile 😀”

“Food was so good ! Had the chili cheese dogs. Drinks were great as well ocean water mixed drink was really good 10/10 great prices”

“We will miss this great place and have enjoyed it for many years. I cant imagine why people would give it one star commenting on it being closed. It is just ridiculous and insulting to this great establishment. Some weird people out there!!”

“I got a smoked chicken quesadilla today. It was by far the best I’ve had. I rate it up there with p**** and watermelon.”

“Delicious food, great friendly service. Best restaurant in Panama City Beach consistently! Thank you to our exceptional waitress Sandy!”

“AWESOME in every way! Lauren and Becca are super friendly and quick behind the bar. The food is delicious, and the cocktails mouthwatering. We return here every year during our week long vacation because they never fail us. Plenty of TV's for sports action , and a pool for a cool dip. HIGHLY RECOMMEND by my husband and I. NOTE: We tried the Barefoot Hideaway down the road, but left after being seated (inside, which was somewhat stale and smelly), and waiting for about 8 minutes without being acknowledged by a server. It was NOT busy at the time. DISAPPOINTED. Will not go to that location again. Go see Becca and Lauren. THEY ROCK!!!”
