“Enjoy a very nice dinner tonight. Great service great tasting food. Major improvement since I’ve been there last time. We highly recommend Ambrosia and we will be back”

“We lucked into Bruno's on a rainy Tuesday during Spring Break. Cute atmosphere. Regular menu or pizza buffet. The pizzas were unique and delicious. Great ingredients. The buffet included all you could eat pizza, Mac n cheese, salad bar, and sweet dessert rolls. Very welcoming staff. Would definitely recommend!”

“Way too crowded. Not really their fault, it’s the only place within miles. Food is good, not amazing, but man, they nail down the middle for the thousands of tourists they have to serve and the quality is great.I was blown away by their service, the guys who clean up, help on the dining floor, they are the most attentive employees ever. These guys are 5 star, should be working at Michelin rated restaurants. Seriously, when I open a restaurant back in Chattanooga, I am flying down here and stealing their staff. Amazing people here. Take care of these employees, they are the glue and keep this place a great experience!”

“I had avocado toast and a coffee. My experience was fantastic. I visited on 2/15 and went in the a.m. The staff were incredible. The avocado toast with the arugula salad I enjoyed! It was fresh and perfectly seasoned. Thank you for a memorable breakfast.”

“Went one evening for dinner during our family vacation. Hardly any wait at all which is huge with 3 young children. I had one of the fish specials (can’t really remember which one) with rice and veggies. The veggies were great-especially since you don’t get many veggies on vacation ?. Daughter had the grilled chicken Caesar which was fresh and yummy. Grilled redfish was very good as well. If you go you have to try the lumpia. I think one of the owners or at least someone who works there makes them by hand daily and they were legit AMAZING!”

“The food was awesome! They had closed earlier than normal on the day before Thanksgiving but 20 minutes later they still took my order. Thanks for being there for us!!!”

“I hit Beach and Brew most every trip to the Panhandle. It's a great place to try draft beers from around the country. And you can either watch the game or hear a local musician. It's a lot of fun.”

“Great service and great food. My wife and I went there for my birthday dinner. Wow. Both of us had wonderful meals and an extraordinary experience. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. I recommend this restaurant.”

“You really can't take a trip to the area without a visit to Old Florida Fish House. First things first...make a reservation!! It's easily done through their website and you will avoid a lengthy wait (or being turned away) when you arrive. This place is huge with many areas in which to dine, although I highly recommend sitting outside for the aesthetic alone if weather permits. When you arrive there is fast and easy valet parking (parking on your own is near impossible). The hostess line moves quickly and you won't wait long for your table (especially since you made a reservation!). If you have to wait, there are a few small shops sprinkled throughout to explore. There are so many pretty photo op locations throughout the restaurant, so make sure you stroll the area either before or after you eat. Service here is fantastic. They have a huge staff and someone is always on hand to deliver food, fill your water & bus the table throughout your meal. Our waitstaff has always been outstanding. They are personable, helpful and attentive. We've never had a less than excellent server. Appetizer-wise, the smoked tuna dip, fried crab claws, shrimp cocktail and calamari were our favorites. They have nightly specials and a huge sushi menu with a variety of rolls to choose from (we've enjoyed many of them). The Grouper Fish House is also highly recommended! So delicious! If you save room for dessert, the key like pie is not to miss! This is a pricey restaurant, but well worth it for the combination of ambiance, quality of service and exceptional food.”

“Went here for Easter breakfast after church. It was our first time, and we'll definitely be going back. The food is really good (menu selection and quality), but the service is amazing. Great staff. Friendly, helpful and very attentive. We sat outdoors which was nice, but next time I think we'll try inside. Gouda Grits were amazing as were the chicken and waffles, but I'm a big Southern food lover. There are of course plenty of other dishes from which to chose if that's not your thing. If you're up and around early in the morning near Grayton Beach, this is the place.”

“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!”

“We had a group of 10 on a Saturday night. Service was fabulous and food was great.Kid-friendliness: Our server was great with the kids. There was a kid menu but tapas style dishes allowed kids to sample. Chocolate fondue and chocolate chip cookies were each a ? kid rating”

“Such a fun bar. The band playing tonight (3/17) was really good and fun. The food was really good for a bar. We had the gumbo, shrimp and crawfish pasta, and the blackened grouper. All very tasty, well portioned and presented. It can get loud while the band is playing, but if you don't mind it, you'll have a good time and meal.Parking: Parking is hard to find.”

“Ordered the fillet with a side of two scallops. Ordered the Aji tuna appetizer. All was fantastic! Other items in pics collard greens and truffle fries. Delicious! Ordered the salted caramel brownie. Way to chocolate-y for me. Thought there would be more caramel. Would not get this again. Each table has a light and I LOVE that.”

“This was an incredible meal while on vacation in Rosemary Beach. Starting with the service, Harrison was incredibly attentive and just a real pleasure to have serve us. The double pork chop was without question the best pork chop I have ever eaten. They accommodated my wife’s shellfish allergy on an incredible rock shrimp pasta by substituting chicken. The pasta was still fantastic. We will certainly be back any time we are in the area. Highly recommended!Dietary restrictions: They made a great sub for shrimp and made a point to assure us they prepare separately for those with allergies.”

“Jordan has a true gem in Seagrove Beach! His wide variety of delicious flavors for ice cream and shaved ice is always the best! We love this place and highly recommend it to everyone.”

“So once I found this place last year, I immediately loved it. My last visit there, it took a step back. It’s still a good place to go but it’s not as good as it used to be. The service wasn’t as friendly as it used to be. It took awhile before our waitress even came over to take our order. Another table was even helped before us even though we were there first.The menu changed as well. This place is know for its big and unique pancakes, or maybe should I say was. They still have some good unique pancakes, but they reduced a big part of what they used to offer. They no longer serve any peanut butter product here, and one of my favorite pancakes had peanut butter on it. Most of the food was good that we ordered except for the side scrambled eggs I ordered. The best way to describe them is as grainy. The Cinnamon Roll French Toast was great though.I usually drive about 50 mins to come out here for the food, and I probably still will, but not as often.”

“First time going to Mike's but will definitely not be my last. The crab cake was really good, the grilled grouper, fries, and hush puppies were great, and not sure what sauce was served with the grouper and crab cake but it was great also. Tarter sauce was the best I've had in the area. Had the Mango Tango drink and it was also great. Got some banana pudding to bring home, and I haven't tried it yet, but it looks phenomenal. Waitress was super friendly, personable, and knowledgeable on the menu items. Mike's did not disappoint at all.”

“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!”

“Love the originality of this place. Perfectly quirky which is a trait quickly disappearing from this area. Drinks are a deal at their size and the food has tons of variety.”

“We frequent The Citizen, a favorite restaurant in the gulf coast every time we visit. Always excellent service, always excellent food and drinks! We love the atmosphere here and enjoy this treat. ?”

“One of my favorite spots! Great atmosphere & great seafood! It's difficult to find your good "basic" seafood (raw oysters, crab claws) restaurants, like I enjoyed as a kid with that casual, fun atmosphere whether with your spouse or your kids.”

“This restaurant has the best seafood I have ever had in life. The chargrilled oysters are so amazing and are very delicious . Furthermore, the Pan Sautéed Orleans tastes phenomenal with the mahi mahi fish. My wife enjoyed the shrimp and oysters steamed vegetables. The service was great and the gentleman at the bar serving us gave some great customer service to meet us our dining needs. We will definitely be back for more of the delicious meals they have to offer. This will be go to spot when we are visiting Panama City Beach. This restaurant is a must if you are looking for great fresh seafood and great service. The restaurant gets busy and there may be a wait, but it it is worth the wait, so plan to get there when the restaurant opens at 5:00 PM so you can first to get your food . Lastly, I love good food and when I have a meal such as the one I had at this restaurant then I have to share it.”

“Outstanding food and service - I had the Chef's Special which was meatloaf with asparagus and mashed potatoes with roasted garlic and Gruyere cheese. My Husband had the UFC Burger. All delicious and fresh! A great addition to 30 Avenue!”

“Omg !!! If you are in 30A YOU MUST STOP HERE !!! The crab cakes and hush puppies are AMAZING!!! Like literally perfect!!! Seasoned to perfection and such a great size!!!”

“The food was absolutely amazing but the drinks we ordered from the bar were not strong at all . Definitely don't go there for drinks but the food was superb ?”

“We ate at Village Market last night with our six young grandchildren and our sons and their wives. Service was amazing! Food was great. We tried the crispy chicken thighs, the corn chowder, the grouper sandwich and the crab cake sandwich. The kids ate fried shrimp and grouper bites. It was all hot and fresh and delicious. Village market is relatively new. It’s convenient, has great space indoors and outdoors. Family friendly.”

“We brought our fish that we caught today and they cooked it. They are the nicest people. Was such a fun dinner - the fish and sides were amazing - also, very dog friendly in the patio is awesome.”

“My favorite Playa Bowls! The name really fits the place here at Rosemary Beach Playa Bowls. Service is always top notch just like the bowls. I always get The Jetty half Pitaya, swap Goji berries for strawberries and add almond butter! My kids, dog and family love it too. Absolute perfection!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options and very vegan!?”

“Had breakfast here with wife and two boys. Friendly service and the food was fantastic. The Big Breakfast skillet was our favorite. Highly recommend this spot. ???”
