FROM HIGH-CLASS GOURMET TO CASUAL

Visit local eateries and you’ll find out why Panama City Beach has earned a reputation for seafood. Located on the Gulf of Mexico, area restaurants and seafood markets offer the freshest and most delicious seaside fare you can imagine. Local establishments offer the best seasonal catch, so you can sample local delicacies like blackened snapper, chargrilled grouper and seared mahi-mahi.

Visit Capt. Anderson’s Restaurant for fresh seafood with an incredible view of the marina. Stop into Schooners , one of Panama City Beach’s oldest restaurants, and try their delicious grouper sandwich with a beachfront view.

Best of all, many of the restaurants are right on the water, so you can couple an unforgettable meal with spectacular seaside panoramas.

Though Panama City Beach is most famous for seafood, it has the unique position as a nexus of the Gulf Coast and American South, making it an ideal location for barbecue, Cajun cuisine and traditional American food.

Start your day with a sit-down breakfast at the Andy’s Flour Power. For lunch, try down-home favorites like Back Beach Barbecue’s pulled pork sandwich or a fish taco from Hook’d. Spice things up with a springtime crawfish boil or a sumptuous seafood gumbo. If you’re in the mood for more terrestrial fare, settle in for a perfectly seasoned steak for dinner.

The variety doesn’t end there. Panama City Beach features a broad spectrum of cuisine, from Italian to sushi, Caribbean jerk to Thai noodles. Whatever you’re hungering for, chances are restaurants in Panama City Beach will have it.

Parched from a day on the beach? Panama City Beach is home to a number of friendly watering holes where you can quench your thirst. If you like beer, try the Brass Tap, a craft brewery featuring over 150 varieties of beer from around the world, or come by the Craft Bar and enjoy a selection of 30 brews on tap.

Many restaurants also provide live music so you can tuck in to a delightful meal while you listen to some tunes. The Saltwater Grill features live bands every Thursday and Friday no matter the season. Even better, multiple Panama City Beach restaurants come equipped with fun for the kids too.
