Dining at Panama City Beach

Here is a link to Trip Advisor's PCB Restaurant Rankings: http://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g34543-Panama_City_Beach_Florida.html
 
A few of our favorites are:
  • Dee's Hang Out (http://deeshangout.com/): Very reasonable prices, great seafood, and Cajun dishes. Try the banana pudding. Closed Sundays. On the east end of PCB.
  • Saltwater Grill (http://www.saltwatergrillpcb.com/newsite4/): They often have an early bird deal before 5:30 p.m. that is a really good deal. They also have a HUGE 25,000 aquarium.
  • Boondocks (www.boondocksfl.com/ ). Really good and fresh fried and grilled seafood. Neat atmosphere on the bay. We like that you can get a combo platter of shrimp and grouper.
  • Oishi Thai Restaurant and Sushi Bar (http://www.oishithaisushi.com/): Practically across the street from the Tidewater. Very handy and great food. Try Brent's favorite dishes: Kua Gai and Pad King (Ginger Perfect).
  • Angelo's Steak Pit (http://www.angelos-steakpit.com/). It has been there since I was a kid. Cooked over hardwood, the filet will be one of the best steaks you have ever eaten. Located on the east end of PCB.
  • Thomas Donuts and Snack Bar (http://thomasdonutandsnackshop.com/) Been around since 1971 and owned by PCB’s mayor. If you like a wide variety of donuts, this is the place for you. West of the Calypso and Tidewater.
  • Captain Anderson's (http://captanderson.com/): It has also been there since I was a kid and I am in my 50s. Huge menu. Also a large shop for while you wait. Closed Sundays.
  • Hook’d Pier Bar and Grill (http://www.hookedpierbar.com/). You can walk or drive there. Amazing fish and shrimp tacos. Great food.
  • Dusty’s Oyster Bar. (https://www.facebook.com/Dustys-Oyster-Bar-117669928258426/): In easy walking distance. It is very crowded, but great food. Located between the Calypso and Tidewater, but much closer to the Tidewater. We usually order food to go.
  • The Back Porch. (http://www.theback-porch.com/pcbmenu). This is our favorite seafood place at Pier Park. If you like seafood gumbo, this is your place. 
  • Paula Deen's. (https://pauladeensfamilykitchen.com/location/paula-deens-family-kitchen-in-panama-city-beach-fl/) We have not tried it yet, but for southern family style cooking, you might want to try this place located in Pier Park.
  • Marco's Pizza (which also has great subs), Pizza Hut, and McDonald's are all across the street from Tidewater. Arby's is next to McDonald's. So there are plenty of fast food options.  Of course, you can find Five Guys, Red Robin, and numerous other eating places at Pier Park.
