“The food was excellent. I came at dinner time. I was eating alone, so I want to kind of a quiet spot and up near the front is not all the employees were laughing and talking loud so I asked to move into the next room. It was much better. I ordered the shrimp, tempura rolls, and California rolls and a nice tea on the side.. I thought I was coming here for hibachi after Tiros but I knew I couldn't eat all that it comes with a soup and salad which I didn't want. Anyway, I recommend the place and here are my two pictures and I ate everything and drink everything. My waitress is very sweet and kind and patient. The ambience was good, but there were a few people being super loud which I didn't care for because I was trying to chill but anyway can't help I was alone and they weren't lol.”
“Our food was good, but the presentation had a lot to be desired. Our waitress Sarah was ok, but not very attentive. We were disappointed that there was no bread so I ordered some side bread. It was a large dry croissant looking thing that was returned.Then here comes Ansley and saves the day. She was very attentive and was concerned with how we liked our meals..If we had a single reason to return, it would be Ansley. She was great!”
“Yup, officially one of my favorite restaurants and I am SO mad that I didn't get pictures this time. We had a pretty big party of 11. They sat us in less than 15 minutes and were so quick to get us settled in and take our orders. We got there around 6:30 and it wasn't too crowded, especially for a Friday night. I got a margarita, as I always do, which was the PERFECT size. We got three appetizers: the calamari (I could literally drink the sauce that comes with it), the crab cakes, and the wagyu meatball- it is GIANT. All three were 5 stars across the board. For my entree, I got the filet with a side of whipped potatoes (which I want to drown in), and a side of asparagus. I loved every minute of this dinner. We left around 8pm and that is when it started to pick up, so keep that in mind if you're not wanting to wait too long here. I can't wait to visit Panama City Beach again solely so I can come back here. 10/10 recommend!!”
“A gem of Panama City! We came on a Thursday around 4:30 and were immediately sat. Server was attentive and food came very quickly and was delicious! Highly recommend the seafood casserole as well as the roasted red potatoes.”
“I rarely rate any place. However, this was a pleasant surprise. It’s more of a cafe style order and seat yourself so I was turned off immediately.Boy was I wrong, the food was great, the service was fast and a short walk to the bar and I enjoyed the very nice 5 little Indian count the bartender used. Will be back!”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Nice little niche establishment hidden in an off the grid shopping centre. Niche interior elements with a very attentive wait staff and equally entertaining bar tender. Food was truly unusual and appetizing. Had Redfish Ceviche and lettuce wedge. Ceviche a delicious and generous bowl of well marinated fish w chips lettuce wedge well appointed w bacon slab bits croutons and dressing. This is a must do and see/eat to truly appreciate”
“Best place we ate at during our stay. Service was amazing, the staff there were friendly and very attentive! The whole crew was fun and outgoing. The food was delicious they make the best-frozen daiquiris ever!!”
“Not the chic little nightspot restaurant you might find down the road. Just a good, wholesome family restaurant! We loved it! And the food was better than the more expensive meals we tried.”
Restaurants with Delivery
“Amazing! I came for my birthday and wanted a seafood boil. I’m glad I decided on this place. I was sitting outside eating and one of the employees came out and gave me a little mallet and cracker for the crab. Overall a great experience!”
“Came here last night with my boyfriend. It was date night for us and we dont always get to go out to awesome places like this! So it was special. We got their signature drinks. My bf got the Gasoline Tea and I got Grateful Dead drink. Both delicious drinks. For our appatizer we got the yumny mouth watering pretzel bites with beer cheese. Like that was incredible! I got cheesy bacon burger with fried okra and my boyfriend got a grilled chicken sandwitch with cheese grits. It was all satisfying and yummy. The waitress was very helpful and kind. Grest survice! And i felt right at home because of the atmosphere. We decided to eat outside. But the inside was absoultuly stunning. It was so rock n roll and motercycles. The only thing i thought was odd was their was no music outside. But it was inside. I just would had loved to listen to some Black Sabbath,Moterhead,Pink Floyd,AC/DC, Metallica,The Four Horseman,Aerosmith,Van Halen, Led Zepplin,The Eagles,Phish,Grateful Dead,KISS, Elvis Presley and many more awesome rock n roll music playing in the background as i eat and talk outside. But overall it was amazing. We both would love to come back again. Y'all have a gift shop i'd love to go into next time. Thanks for a great time and good food and good drinks.”
“The coffee is good. The chicken/bacon sandwich was tasty. The entire place is a vibe. Not a lot of selections food wise, but worth it. The mission behind the business is very cool.”
“Really great place if you’re looking for a healthy, quick alternative to fast food. The customer service is as good as the quality of their food.Lamar, one of the Maanagers, was extremely polite and asked how my meal was and made it an even more enjoyable experience. If you’re in the PCB area, it’s a great go-to spot for Healthy, quick lunch, or dinner!”

“Had combination and a shrimp platter with broccoli and sweet potatoes fries. Delicious. Enjoyed the corn fritter and hush puppies and shrimp slaw too! Would return again! Ate on the patio out front and had a good view of the ocean.”
“I love this place. The crepes are amazing. I work in emergency services with a very busy department. Anytime I have a minute to grab lunch I make it a priority to go to gypsea crepes. My plan is to try everything on the menu.”
“tried this cute little shop out on vacation and highly recommend! definitely on the pricier side.. but well worth it for taste, size and freshness. breakfast burrito was HUGE, delicious. cheese grits, 10/10! will definitely be back if i visit pcb again!”
“Please take this review SERIOUS.‼️ I have never In my life had breakfast food this good. I was prepared to season my food when I received it but instead I tasted it first. It was UNBELIEVABLY amazing ‼️‼️ The food had soooo much flavor, seasoned to perfection and hot! I literally had to give my compliments to the chef which were two black queens. ?? I shook the hands of one chef. These girls deserve a raise! The food was beyond IMPECCABLE. I’ve never tasted food so perfect. Me and my husband couldn’t stop talking about it as we ate. If I could give 10 ⭐️ I would easily!!!!! I’m so happy I have leftovers!Vegetarian options: Eggs, cheese, hash browns..Parking: Parking is in back and very limited.”
“we just moved here and were starving from errands. We’re sitting here currently with our food and had to leave a review right away. The food is so very well seasoned!! This place knows how jam flavor into every ingredient. Smoked jalapeño sauce is to die for. The staff is as friendly as can be. Don’t skip on this place. The prices are also Amazing!”
“I loved this place so much. It is such a vibe, and it just feels welcoming because it looks like my room. The food was delicious, and the workers were so sweet. I'm glad that they had all my favorite bands. What I found very cool was that all their guitars were signed! This shop made my vacation 10 times better! Overall, I would rate this a 10, but 5 is the highest I can rate it. I recommend it for everyone since it is family friendly.”
“Look no further! Go check this place out now! It’s so tasty!!! Very well worth it. We got the catfish, smoked chicken, mac n cheese, baked beans, cornbread and banana pudding! They were all very good! The bbq sauce is even really good. Don't miss out on going to this place.”
“This place is worth the extra 2 minutes to find it. Keep driving, it's around the corner. Sooo worth it. The coffee was amazing. The lotus drinks are like a refresher but way better! Will definitely be back!”

Food was real good 0 complaints the staff were awesome, i got a drink and the bartender walked over to where i was seated to ask me a question then made some small talk supper cool of them to do that. I hope they do company partys here because i would love to have my end of year party here for my company.”

“This place is always great. This time I got the shrimp po-boy and the wife got the debris po-boy. Bread is correct iykyk, lots of shrimp and fresh veggies. Every time we’re in town we always stop in.”
“Excellent service, food and atmosphere! Restaurant and bathrooms were very clean and the staff was so helpful and polite. We are local and will definitely be back!!”

“Jarvis was very kind and helpful in assisting me with my order as this is my first time here. I was very pleased with the service and the food. I most definitely will be back!!!”
“LOCAL BAR. Very much a solid crowd of regulars. Live music many nights, or 2-6 p.m. jams for donations.Quite military service oriented. Not a biker bar, but if you rode there, you'd fit right in.LOUD. Often crowded, esp.on the elevated rear deck during live music, when the entire indoors was devoid of customers for a few hours. Wait staff tended to yell, I'm sure they learned that it was necessary.”
“Food was excellent, large portions and large variety to pick from. I had the stuffed meat omelet and toast I've ever had. My husband had easy over eggs variety of meats, some little read potatoes we enjoyed it all. It was very crowded, about 30 min wait. Great place to go.Parking: They need a bigger location to fit the large amount of customer's”

“Obsessed with Christos! Same meal every time… start with 6 black magic wings and then order Christines seasonal salad with shrimp. I always ask for the tails to be removed prior to placing on the salad and the cooks do it every time even though they are so busy!!! Beer and cocktails are great too. All the staff are very friendly and the owners are running around making sure everyone is happy and business is flowing smoothly! 20/10!”
“We had a great time. The bar was lively, the band sounded great, and the service was excellent. We sang along to the band and watch the sun go down, and it was a great time.”
“Love this breakfast. Very modern. Pretty fancy. Nice staff and excellent food. Salmon Benedict is my recommendation and the hot cocoa is really good and fancy. I recommend eating at Another Broken Egg. I’m surprised I ate the Benedict because usually they make them too big and drown them on hollandaise sauce.”
“I rarely rate any place. However, this was a pleasant surprise. It’s more of a cafe style order and seat yourself so I was turned off immediately.Boy was I wrong, the food was great, the service was fast and a short walk to the bar and I enjoyed the very nice 5 little Indian count the bartender used.

“The restaurant had a long line but they moved fast through people and had quick service, food was great. Pork was delicious salad not so much, my friends got the brisket sandwich and ribs they both said it was very good! It had a great atmosphere with an outdoor and indoor section. I would suggest this place!”

“Always my go to oyster place while in PCB with ice cold beer. I always get at least one dozen raw! This time added a shrimp po-boy, onion rings and fried green tomatoes. Wife had chicken tenders. Everything was good as always. We sat out back by the water for lunch which was nice. We actually drove over from Grayton Beach before we left to head back home. Always good service. We'll be back! Thanks”
“Excellent food and even better service. The owners did an amazing job at making us feel welcome and they were even nice enough to make my wife a non-spicy chicken curry pizza just so she could try it. Will definitely be coming back. The photo is of the Saag Chicken ”
“My favorite Italian place, delicious food and not to mention their cocktails. The excellent service from your manager Antonio who always makes you feel at home to the waiters and the owner, thank you.”

“This was an excellent show! The food was delicious and it’s included in the ticket price. Todd did a tribute show to rock-in-roll and his renditions of Elvis, BJ Thomas, Willy Nelson, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, and Kenny Rogers were right on. The band is superb (we loved the Dancing Bear Trumpet player) and also entertaining. Todd’s wife Angel accompanies him with song and has a beautiful voice. As if this wasn’t enough, Todd and Company are patriotic and generous to those in need.When we return to Panama City Beach we will see them again.”
“Great family restaurant. Favorite bar around! Darla and Mandy always take great care of us and make delicious drinks. Good food, good drinks, and even better service all around!”

“I had the best experience I've ever had here tonight, not that I've ever had a bad one here because I haven't. My son and I came in for a late dinner. Tashara was our server, she was super sweet and attentive. She even recommended a drink for me. An accident occurred at our table as accidents do, which is why it's called an accident. Tashara sprang into action and remedied the situation perfectly! Thank you for the amazing service!”
“Nice little restaurant, super friendly people. The food was fresh and hot, I would just say not a lot of flavor across the board. I got the chicken fried rice and the chunks of chicken were white (no seasoning at all). The fried rice was fine, just plain. It only had egg in it, no veggies and it didn't seem like any soy sauce or butter either.My husband's bento box he said had similar issues, the chicken was teriyaki but outside of the sauce unseasoned. He did enjoy the sushi alright.The fried gyoza was good dipped in the vinegar sauce.”
“Our first time visiting PCB... Lulu's was great! The pizza ? was great, we are from NJ definitely gave NY vibes...we also had the Philly cheesteak it was well seasoned. The staff was great,friendly, and sweet.We will be back!”
“I’ve been to all the Sushi restaurants in Panama City Beach and this one is my favorite. The slices of smoked salmon are much larger than a lot of others. Anyway, I love Jinn Jinn 88.”
“This place is amazing! By far the best steak for the money. I have been to tons of steakhouses from extremely high end to hole in the walls. When I go and get an A5 Wagyu filet from a high-end place, I am paying ballpark $150. It will definitely be better than Texas Roadhouse. But I like paying $25 for a really good Ribeye! The only reason I give them a 4 on food, the kitchen struggles with Medium Rare steak. Other than that, it is an absolute must try!”
“With the naming, it can be confused with Jin Jin Fusion across the street. Didn't have to wait long, but with limited seating, I could see this place filling up fast. For it being a Japanese/Chinese combination place, there is a lot to look at on the menu, but many different items as to not have any repeats. Our waiter was helpful in making sure we got everything we wanted/needed and getting stuff cleared out as we finished. The meal was the best I have had of these ethnicities of food.”
“The food was excellent..no bread or drinks or dessert included in Christmas dinner price Open table said it opened at 11:00..WRONG..opened at 5:00..you'd better check hours if using them for reservations”
“Wow, the view from this restaurant is absolutely breathtaking. It sits up high, overlooking the Gulf, which alone warrants a 5-star rating. We were lucky enough to enjoy the ambiance of live music during our meal, which made the experience even better. The new chef is incredibly talented, and it showed in my order of the daily special - White Pasta Florentine with shrimp - and my wife's Cajun shrimp on gouda grits. Both dishes were delicious. I'm excited to come back and try the seared mahi next time. Overall, this restaurant is a hidden gem that I highly recommend.”
“Food is AWESOME, as well as plate presentation - and on the spectacular beaches of Panama City Beach. It’s crazy this place is not sold out every night. We’ve had ‘Katie’ as our server both nights. She is absolutely lovely!”
“Raphael was the guy, funny dude and lovely accent, made our dining experience even better, food pricey but the service was awesome, from the hostess to the server to the managers.”
“Let me start off with the food was amazing. The bucket was a little pricy at $75, but it can feed 3 easily, maybe 4. Our waiter just didn't tell us we could probably all share so we ended up with a bucket and 2 full entrees. Atmosphere was a little weird, not bad tho. The decor and dining space are clean and upscale, the NBC news on the TV was a little odd and then Nelly playing over the speaker system threw me for a loop. I think they were just trying to find their Spring Break vibe. But beachside dining and again, great food.”
“Food quality was great. The speed of service was as expected. The prices are also very reasonable. There is live music and the dining room view overlooking the bay is quite relaxing. The servers were very courteous, too.”
“Do yourself a favor and visit this incredible little restaurant! Not only was the food spectacular but every single person working were so kind and helpful, and we only stopped in for a pick up order! The rare beef pho, chicken wings, potstickers, and Vietnamese ice coffee were all delicious. I can’t wait to go back!”
“This is a great restaurant on the beach with a wonderful view. Order the Chef special. Swordfish topped with grilled shrimp and asparagus with a fantastic Quinoa. The only issue was the entry and interaction with the host. Our server Cody was Fantastic. Super helpful and very prompt. 5 stars for him. Would definitely come back and highly recommend the Chef special.”
“All slider sandwiches were excellent, although I had a favorite, I don't want to make the choice for you...go try them! There were so many choices of brews that I had to try six (samples) of them on this trip before settling in on one. We got very good choice advice from Ashleigh D. At the end of this wonderful visit, we took home five of the Growlers and shared them with friends. This is a "must visit again" place, so next visit, maybe I will try six or more samples.”

“The place was slammed couldn’t help but notice everyone working together so well! I was amazed! Amazing service and food! Shout out to my waitress amanda y’all are awesome”
“We travel across the country regularly, and we like to go to Waffle House because the food is consistent. Server Nicol(spelling?) and the cook did a wonderful job with out order.”
“Great service and great food, and your typical breakfast food atmosphere, of loud folks and unnatural lighting.I definitely got my belly full and the prices were not too unreasonable.Parking: A fairly decent amount of parking spaces. Maybe 20 or 25. Shouldn't be a problem since a lot of their traffic is from condos close by where people can walkKid-friendliness: It's a waffle house, of course it's kid friendly. They just spray the kid and the floor down, and Usher in the next group of sheep”
“If everyone was as cheerful and entertaining then the world would be a happier place. We were very happy with breakfast we were so hungry and we were met with Amy, Bonnie and ”
“This is THE best Waffle House I have been in period! The staff was fantastic and the food...delicious! Very clean restaurant and our waitress was the best. Forgive me because I have forgot her name, but she made us feel like regulars and this was the first time with our son to enjoy this establishment! If am in that part of Florida again, I WILL be back!”
“I gave eaten here several times in as many days. Great subs and the flatbread pizzas are awesome. Lots of meat and toppings, not all bread. Amy is awesome and will make your sub or pizza to order much better than the chains. Fresh produce, meats and cheese for a very good price. The lounge atmosphere is like a blast from the past. You can even have a beer with your pizza or sub, but it is family friendly.This cool spot is near the public beach access and with the Banana Peel convenience & beach store it was one stop shopping for beer, food and beach supplies.”
“An older hotel, great for a quick little getaway. Convenient since it's on the beach. Dated but clean, and pool seemed well maintained. Staff very friendly & accommodating. Close to everything. We would go there again.”
“I work weird hours, and they are one of the few restaurants that are open when I get off. Every time I go, it's a nice experience, even though it's the drive-thru. Despite the late hours, the employees are always upbeat and happy, instead of tired, and my food is always good.”
“They've really stepped it up. We love this place and so does everyone we bring here. There's something for everyone because everything is delicious. One item I'll say can be better is the crab rangoons.”
“Loved the food will definitely be back! Seriously great/fast service atmosphere and did I mention how the food was amazing ?. Me and my Husband really enjoyed our meals! Will be back to try the platter!”
“Very good steak. It’s big like Texas and the steak is pretty good. The Longhorn was my recommendation and loaded baked potato loaded my appetite. Eat Big or go home.. is that the saying? Proportions are big and if you are vegan you will not survive. Also there was a Cybertruck parked right outside the steakhouse. No MK4 Supra though☹️”
Takeout Restaurants
“My family ate twice at American Charlie while we were in Panama City because it was so good! Service was fast, the portions were large enough that we had leftovers (we eat ALOT)! We ordered the southwest chicken salad, burger, ribs, and wings. The place was clean and had comfortable seating. The staff was friendly. We will definitely be back if we vacation in Panama City again!”
“I absolutely loved going to the All American Diner a couple of times for breakfast during my stay in PCB. Our waitresses (Denise & Rebecca) were the sweetest and most welcoming women. I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast buffet that always kept me full for hours and my niece enjoyed a milkshake at 8am as well. ? I will have to come by again when we come back to visit, so don’t go changing too much!”
“Nice little niche establishment hidden in an off the grid shopping centre. Niche interior elements with a very attentive wait staff and equally entertaining bar tender. Food was truly unusual and appetizing. Had Redfish Ceviche and lettuce wedge. Ceviche a delicious and generous bowl of well marinated fish w chips lettuce wedge well appointed w bacon slab bits croutons and dressing. This is a must do and see/eat to truly appreciate”
“Not the chic little nightspot restaurant you might find down the road. Just a good, wholesome family restaurant! We loved it! And the food was better than the more expensive meals we tried.”
“The food was very good. They had the best oysters with cheese!!!! Our waitress was wonderful. They had really cool shirts that you could purchase and we bought two of them.”
“This place serves Bassets ice cream. The only ice cream I'd take over Häagen-Dazs. Absolutely delicious and they give ginormous portions. We look forward to this every time we come to PCB.”
“Wow I love the food here , I order a medium jerk chicken with rice and potato salad... IT was so big I couldn't eat it all there took some home , I also had 2 authentic Jamaican beef Pattys were delicious.. the lady who took the order was very busy helping expedite and take orders , it was 2 pm and about 9 people ordering.. She did great , I recommend this place the real deal Jamaican food man”
“The food was amazing…the best we’ve had in Panama City Beach. I loved the music and the food was even better. If you want well seasoned and delicious food…this is the place!”
“I got one scoop of the Chocolate experience or something like that. It was great! Another guest had the Blue Panda, which should be called COOKIE MONSTER!!! It was cookies and cream on steroids. The shop looks like your standard ice cream parlor, but don’t be fooled. They’ve got tons of flavors and the young lady behind the counter was charming and friendly, happy to share her advice and knowledge with everyone. It’s obvious that Hershey’s wants everyone to be happy first and sell ice cream second. Bravo!”
“i have been driving by this place for 4 years and finally stopped, and im glad i did, i will say this is my top 3 favorite restaurant in all Panama city. Food was real good 0 complaints the staff were awesome, i got a drink and the bartender walked over to where i was seated to ask me a question then made some small talk supper cool of them to do that. I hope they do company partys here because i would love to have my end of year party here for my company.”
“The fish sandwich was very good. Good flavor and tasty bun. The house salad was awful. It was mostly wilted lettuce that looked like it was several weeks oldThere were a couple of cherry tomatoes. I ordered the honey mustard dressing. It was awful. Thick as tar and way too sweet.”
“Great experience here. Friendly staff, helped me with order suggestions. I went with the pork báhn mì and it was really good! The vegetables were super crisp, bread was soft and flaky, meat was delicious! Every ingredient felt like it was high quality and prepared with special attention. I recommend giving this place a try.”
“Good sounding flavor choices (Blue Bell I believe) and interesting sundae ideas. The strip mall location reminded me of Baskin Robbins in the 80s. We are used to ice cream from an outdoor window with no indoor seating so this was nostalgic in a weird way. They also had outdoor tables under the roof overhang out of the sun or weather. I had decided on a sundae that they were missing some ingredients to so I switched key lime pie flavor on a brownie and both were good but maybe I shouldn't have put those flavors together?”
“Always my go to oyster place while in PCB with ice cold beer. I always get at least one dozen raw! This time added a shrimp po-boy, onion rings and fried green tomatoes. Wife had chicken tenders. Everything was good as always. We sat out back by the water for lunch which was nice. We actually drove over from Grayton Beach before we left to head back home. Always good service. We'll be back! Thanks”
“Excellent food and even better service. The owners did an amazing job at making us feel welcome and they were even nice enough to make my wife a non-spicy chicken curry pizza just so she could try it. Will definitely be coming back. The photo is of the Saag Chicken ”
“Waitress was wonderful and the food was great!Kid-friendliness: Great with the kids. Accidently left our souvenir Sharkeys kid cup and Frisby in the store and they gave us a new one!”
“Their steak and eggs brunch can’t be beat. Top it off with their bucket of mimosas and you have a great experience. They give you a bottle of sparkling moscato and a side of oj so you can balance your mimosa the way you like. Oh yeah, best carrot cake in town.”
“This is a great spot. Yes I missed out on their blue crab, but when things come in fresh it’s first in first out. Their snow crab is good, but their fresh raw oysters are excellent. They are the smaller ones, but this that love oysters know the small ones taste so much better than the large ones. The key lime pie is pretty good too. Being from the the Texas Gulf Coast, I will be back.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“That gyro, though. We also got a calzone and slice of pepperoni pizza. The service was very friendly. It took a little longer for the food to be prepared but it was made FRESH! I will be back next trip to PCB! ”
“Easily the best JJ’s I’ve ever been to. The restaurant was packed and I was still able to get in and out in no time. The manager and staff were nice and polite as well!”
“Omg seriously they know how to make a fresh cheese burger, this place is so good as if you're at a family reunion and everyone gets together and cook , barbecue, it really is worth stopping ”
“Smoothies were really good and I didn't run into any issues with the staff. Would definitely recommend!Dietary restrictions: There are a lot of vegan options”
“Their good just a little on the expensive side, but at the same time they were the only ones open in general vesinity that was open on new year morning, so good job guys.”
“You know what to expect, right? But sometimes, that's not what you get? Well, don't worry here.A nice store, good seating, friendly (but busy!) staff. When you need (be honest, *want*) a Starbucks fix, this is a great choice. Full-Service with drive-thru.”
“For me, Taco Bell‘s tacos are as good or better than any Mexican restaurant and are half the price. This Taco Bell was spotlessly clean and service was very fast! I put in my Order and they had it ready for me in about 15 seconds!”
“Really like the fried chicken they have and the sweet tea is pretty good also a lil more expensive than I'm used to paying for a gallon however pretty good ?”
“Depends on time of day went first time down there was great food next day was old and smelt bad would be a great place if the night crew was as good as day .a little run down and hard to get in and out for past year and order is always mixed up .”
“Food was ready when we got there (we ordered online)…everything was as it should be…friendly employee. Only negatives were a messy parking lot and there were no straws in the bags.”
“Super friendly employees and food was made for the kids without the spicy sauce so all turned out perfect. There wasn't a huge line to wait through the drive-through. If you aren't familiar with this particular Taco Bell then when attempting to turn into the place it is very tricky. You can't enter from the back side of the building. If you are entering from the front but take the wrong turn you have to drive around to get back into the traffic to try again. There is a huge parking lot behind the building to turn around in though . The issue is tough when re-starting due to season and bumper-to-bumper traffic.. other than that no issues here. Good customer service and small talk made the fast service a happy one”
“I didn’t catch the name of the lady working in the first window tonight but she had an accent and was wearing butterfly clips in her hair. She was the sweetest person I have probably had at this McDonalds and was so patient for me when getting my money together.”
“Morning shift is always on point getting orders made quickly and accurately. Just about the only Taco Bell I've ever been to that has never once gotten my order wrong.Bonus points, no idea why, but this location specifically is cheaper than every other in the area, so that's a plus as well. Free onion ftw.Vegetarian options: Everything that's vegetarian by default is clearly labeled and anything that isn't can easily be modified to be.”
“Absolutely terrible, they didn’t even acknowledge anyone who was in the line to order inside. Not sure why they couldn’t say hey we will be with you in a minute. Literally nothing just ignoring the inside people.”
“Manager Brian and his team work well together .. speedy .. very friendly .. good communication among each other of customers' orders .. most importantly, provided great customer service! We enjoyed the experience ...”
“Nice combo, restaurant, indoor/outdoor bar and market. Picked up a couple of tasty sandwiches and drinks and walked next door to listen to a concert in the park. Bartenders were friendly and the food was made to order. Nice casual convenient location.”
“Johnny the bartender is absolutely awesome! He alone is enough to get me back! Christina is also an amazing waitress! You have to get both of them! I love the angry tuna so much. Incredible food and drinks. Will come here time and time again. An absolute marquee of Panama City Beach!”
“Not our normal type of bar, that being said, the bartender was very nice. The cocktail was $8, but I felt it was worth it, not a short pour by any means. They had live music, and J Cruz, the one man act, was really good. He talked with the audience and made you feel at home. Would definitely stop back. Plus, they had carryout beverages.”
Cheap Eats
“The big deal with NY pizza is the crust and theirs is very good; crisp outer layer and soft & chewy inside and slightly yeasty. The sauce was typical simple tomato flavor, the sausage was good but could have used a little more fennel. The weak spot was canned shrooms. Overall, very good beach pizza.”
“Food was seasoned great and fresh. Service was quick. Ambiance was nice. Sat outside and enjoyed the beautiful weather. Highly recommend stopping here for authentic food. 10/10! :)”
“One of my favorite places to eat and grab a beer when I’m in town. A friendly atmosphere for families with plenty of drink/food options. Can’t wait to go back and listen to some live music!”
“Was on way to handle business on an empty stomach this place was on my route so I decided to stop for some authentic food! I ordered something lite…. The cabbages was sooo delicious ? I’m definitely going back for some of those oxtails I saw on the menu!”
“Love this place!! Always come here when i visit PCB. The service was great and i must say the banana ice cream is INCREDIBLE ?? The atmosphere is also so fun and nostalgic. Will definitely be back!! ”
“We had a very good breakfast at the Pancakery. I’m a sucker for chorizo anything so I had to get the burrito. My wife got Benedict with little pancakes and she liked it well. Sorry I already ate half of my burrito before I took a picture, but I was hungry.”
“Was there in November. We (boyfriend & I) walked the beach and found hook'd. The drinks and food were awesome but most of all I want the bartender ZACHARY to know how awesome he is My boyfriend was able to guess his name which zachary seemed surprised that someone actually guessed his name right. (He doesn't look like a Zachory.) If someone out there reads this review and happens to go to Hook'd in Panama say hi to Zachary for us until the next time we're there. Love Shawn and Stephanie”
“The place itself is cute. Inside has limited seating but there is also outside seat. The pizza is wonderful. Thin crust, just the right amount of sauce and good quality cheese and pepperoni. We also had the ceaser salad and cheese sticks. Both very good.”
“Mehdi was amazing and personal. Couldn’t suggest enough to visit. Sat at bar and got to talk to him and other locals. Love this type of community/dive bar!!!!!! Your amazing Mehdi and thank you for the hospitality. Chris and ”
“We ordered lunch for delivery and it was incredible! We used to live in San Diego and this is the closest Mexican food you’ll find here that is like the west coast! Cannot wait to get it again!”
“Best shrimp boil I’ve had in years since the last time I was in Mississippi. Shrimp, sausage potatoes and corn were boiled just right. Great cocktail sauce and whatever that ding dong sauce is, it was tasty too.”
“We came here during breakfast time, but they offer lunch all day too! My husband ordered the cowboy burger and, per his words, it is the best cowboy burger he has ever had. I got the biscuits and gravy with a side of corned beef hash. It was all delicious! The service was the best we have had in the area. We were sat immediately and had food in front of us in less than 10min. We would absolutely recommend this spot for your burger needs!”
“Shane's Rib Shack is such a great restaurant! We had a business dinner there last night and the grilled chicken and pulled pork baskets were delicious! Plus you can't beat the price for the quality of food you get. The employees were very friendly as well. The place was very organized and clean. We will definitely be back there soon!”
“We always have an amazing time. The food is womderful and the service is excellent. Everyone is always so friendly . The food is fast and fresh. Thank you so much.”
“Ordered to goFood was amazing and didn't feel like soggy take out that you sometimes get.Wings were some of the best we've ever had. Got pulled pork, Mac and cheese, slaw, fries,cheese curds. It was all great! Highly recommended”
“This place is amazing! By far the best steak for the money. I have been to tons of steakhouses from extremely high end to hole in the walls. When I go and get an A5 Wagyu filet from a high-end place, I am paying ballpark $150. It will definitely be better than Texas Roadhouse. But I like paying $25 for a really good Ribeye! The only reason I give them a 4 on food, the kitchen struggles with Medium Rare steak. Other than that, it is an absolute must try!”
“Both my husband and I are from South Louisiana. This was absolutely delightful! The GM was phenomenal! We hope you and your wife make it to Ireland soon. We absolutely loved the history on how you came to be but however, Geaux Tigers!???”
“Wow, the view from this restaurant is absolutely breathtaking. It sits up high, overlooking the Gulf, which alone warrants a 5-star rating. We were lucky enough to enjoy the ambiance of live music during our meal, which made the experience even better. The new chef is incredibly talented, and it showed in my order of the daily special - White Pasta Florentine with shrimp - and my wife's Cajun shrimp on gouda grits. Both dishes were delicious. I'm excited to come back and try the seared mahi next time. Overall, this restaurant is a hidden gem that I highly recommend.”

“Get the chips cheese and salsa $10! The food was great we had kids pasta, chicken tenders, shrimp linguine, and crab legs all great. Wonderful service that was quick and knowledgeable staff. Go try it. Large portions with low cost.”
“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!!”
“Obsessed with Christos! Same meal every time… start with 6 black magic wings and then order Christines seasonal salad with shrimp. I always ask for the tails to be removed prior to placing on the salad and the cooks do it every time even though they are so busy!!! Beer and cocktails are great too. All the staff are very friendly and the owners are running around making sure everyone is happy and business is flowing smoothly! 20/10!”
“One of my favorite places to eat and grab a beer when I’m in town. A friendly atmosphere for families with plenty of drink/food options. Can’t wait to go back and listen to some live music!”
“I loved this place so much. It is such a vibe, and it just feels welcoming because it looks like my room. The food was delicious, and the workers were so sweet. I'm glad that they had all my favorite bands. What I found very cool was that all their guitars were signed! This shop made my vacation 10 times better! Overall, I would rate this a 10, but 5 is the highest I can rate it. I recommend it for everyone since it is family friendly.”
“I absolutely love this place!! I travel a lot for work and each time I go into a new city I always look for Mexican restaurants near me and I must say that Autentika is a must if you ever travel into PCB. I am always greeted by the employees each time that I go and am treated like family. The food is absolutely amazing and it’s come to the point where I simply say “surprise me” and have them decide what I’ll be eating and I get blown away each time. Richard the owner makes the best margaritas and ask for Lucy to be your server. I will recommend Autentika to anyone for it truly is a 5 star experience all around.”
“We decided to come here with our kids for lunch. We live across the bridge in Panama City, and we visited the beach one day before the kids left to see their dad for vacation. We love the fact that the kids can swim while you wait on your food. We ordered burgers, chicken tenders, and a chicken burger. I have had chicken at so many places over the years, and i can say this place, hands down, has the best crispy chicken i have ever had anywhere. I tell people about it often when they ask for recommendations on where to eat. The service was also good and our waitress was friendly. Alcoholic beverages are a little pricey, but most are on the beach. Haven't had a chance to go back yet, but we are going to the beach with some friends in a few weeks, and we will definitely be taking them here and letting the kids swim.”
“The food was great! The service was okay. Perhaps short staffed as many are today. Rushing to take the order, but not around much after. Could have sold me another beer or two. Many TV's on the walls, but only one that seemingly worked when I asked to watch a bowl game with local interest. I'd try again, but hope for these easy fixes.”
“i have been driving by this place for 4 years and finally stopped, and im glad i did, i will say this is my top 3 favorite restaurant in all Panama city. Food was real good 0 complaints the staff were awesome, i got a drink and the bartender walked over to where i was seated to ask me a question then made some small talk supper cool of them to do that. I hope they do company partys here because i would love to have my end of year party here for my company.”
“Overall experience was excellent. Shamar provided excellent service while we enjoyed our anniversary dinner. Brussel sprouts were a tad overdone, thus the four stars. The elk was excellent.”
“This is a PCB landmark with mostly locals. Bartenders are great and on top of everyone. People there are extremely nice and friendly. Just hard to deal with the smoke, but everything else was great, just know what to expect.”
“Ordered the Steak Benedict. Flavor was amazing, had grits as a side. Very bland, watered down and runny, biscuits and gravy were a hit although! Decent service and very chill atmosphere.”
“Very cute little place. The girls don't speak much English but are very sweet. They opened almost an hour early for us. We were wondering around trying to find some breakfast near the Beachcomber. Food and coffee were good. Give it a go!”
“Excellent food and even better service. The owners did an amazing job at making us feel welcome and they were even nice enough to make my wife a non-spicy chicken curry pizza just so she could try it. Will definitely be coming back. The photo is of the Saag Chicken ”
“The food was great was the first time I ever tried Caribbean food. The oxtails dish was great just didn't get slot of gravy, but everything else was delicious.”

“Jarvis was very kind and helpful in assisting me with my order as this is my first time here. I was very pleased with the service and the food. I most definitely will be back!!!”
“We ordered pickel fries and crab shrimp with buffalo sauce (a little spicy but make a difference). And also 2 grill chicken salad. Service was slow but professional (it was a busy night). Food wasn't impressive. Is a place with a beautiful view of the beach and that's what it makes this place awesome.”
“Had combination and a shrimp platter with broccoli and sweet potatoes fries. Delicious. Enjoyed the corn fritter and hush puppies and shrimp slaw too! Would return again! Ate on the patio out front and had a good view of the ocean.”
“Came here last night with my boyfriend. It was date night for us and we dont always get to go out to awesome places like this! So it was special. We got their signature drinks. My bf got the Gasoline Tea and I got Grateful Dead drink. Both delicious drinks. For our appatizer we got the yumny mouth watering pretzel bites with beer cheese. Like that was incredible! I got cheesy bacon burger with fried okra and my boyfriend got a grilled chicken sandwitch with cheese grits. It was all satisfying and yummy. The waitress was very helpful and kind. Grest survice! And i felt right at home because of the atmosphere. We decided to eat outside. But the inside was absoultuly stunning. It was so rock n roll and motercycles. The only thing i thought was odd was their was no music outside. But it was inside. I just would had loved to listen to some Black Sabbath,Moterhead,Pink Floyd,AC/DC, Metallica,The Four Horseman,Aerosmith,Van Halen, Led Zepplin,The Eagles,Phish,Grateful Dead,KISS, Elvis Presley and many more awesome rock n roll music playing in the background as i eat and talk outside. But overall it was amazing. We both would love to come back again. Y'all have a gift shop i'd love to go into next time. Thanks for a great time and good food and good drinks.”
“Let me start off with the food was amazing. The bucket was a little pricy at $75, but it can feed 3 easily, maybe 4. Our waiter just didn't tell us we could probably all share so we ended up with a bucket and 2 full entrees. Atmosphere was a little weird, not bad tho. The decor and dining space are clean and upscale, the NBC news on the TV was a little odd and then Nelly playing over the speaker system threw me for a loop. I think they were just trying to find their Spring Break vibe. But beachside dining and again, great food.”
“One of my favorite places to eat and grab a beer when I’m in town. A friendly atmosphere for families with plenty of drink/food options. Can’t wait to go back and listen to some live music!”

“Love this place. Sat at bar for both lunches and dinners over the course of a week vacation. Happy hour food specials are great. Fried mushrooms are a great portion. Mike, Brad, and Bailey were great bartenders and very attentive. Highly recommend!”
“Love this breakfast. Very modern. Pretty fancy. Nice staff and excellent food. Salmon Benedict is my recommendation and the hot cocoa is really good and fancy. I recommend eating at Another Broken Egg. I’m surprised I ate the Benedict because usually they make them too big and drown them on hollandaise sauce.”
“This place is a great atmosphere, great service and amazing variety of food. We’ve been here three times and absolutely everything we ordered was amazing and plentiful. Highly recommend Salty Sues.Kid-friendliness: Not only is the kids menu full of variety. It’s very reasonably priced. My five-year-old rarely gives a thumbs up on any food. She’s the pickiest of the pack. She had a corndog mac & cheese, and asked if we could come to this place all the time.They also have a gentleman (Mat in the Hat) that comes to your table and does card tricks and multiple different magic tricks. Once he’s done, he gives the children an option of different balloons and he makes animal balloons. Not only did the children love with it, but we did as well.”
“Everything was excellent, I sat outside so I could smoke while I had my drink waiting for my dinner. I asked the server for an ashtray he said they didn't have any, I said they told me it was okay to smoke out here and he said yeah it is. I said what am I supposed to do with my cigarette back? I'm not going to throw it on the ground for one thing. I don't want it going in the ocean. He said it's okay just throw it down!!! There was no way in the world I would do that. I made him bring me a glass with water in it. There were napkins and straw papers. All kinds of trash just being blown all over the place. This place is on the beach!! That is not right!!!”
“We absolutely loved this place. I ordered a carnitas burrito and wife ordered street tacos. Yum we will definitely be going back. You won't be hungry after one of their burritos!!”
