| I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but in general the | | | | at Triple J's. |
| food here is quite bland. In fact, as you might guess, | | | | Number: 5 -- Coconuts -- This place is really new on |
| the only type of food that is pretty good here is the | | | | Thomas drive, but it has a pretty awesome bar inside |
| Seafood. Now for the most part I can't rightly claim | | | | it and the food has been on target every time I've |
| that fried seafood is not good because to me all fried | | | | gone, especially for the price. The location its in has |
| food is neither good nor bad. There is simply just no | | | | had many restaurants come and go over the years |
| skill in cooking it that way. So, if you really like fried | | | | so I was afraid they'd go too. However, I talked to the |
| seafood then you are in great luck. We have a ton of | | | | people that run the place and they've told me that the |
| it here in Panama City. | | | | owner has decided to run his own restaurant there |
| So, excluding the fried stuff, the fast food, the | | | | now so it should be around for quite some time. |
| franchises, and the huge collection of other garbage | | | | Number: 4 -- Scampy's -- This place is awesome! |
| that the beach is riddled with, I will try to give you a | | | | Hands down. It has never inflated its prices to rip you |
| rundown of the places that you should visit during your | | | | off and it consistently delivers the best dinners in my |
| vacation here. Also, I'm going to try to avoid the typical | | | | immediate area. Out of all the places on this list I |
| tourist traps of the area too, so if you see one on here | | | | probably eat here most often, other than Andy's. I like |
| then the food there is actually good. | | | | the steak and shrimp dinner here a lot. Last time I had |
| Number: 10 -- Captain Anderson's -- To many people's | | | | that I believe it was like 13 bucks. The same dinner at |
| surprise I'm going to start the list off with what a lot of | | | | Applebee's: $15. Needless to say the franchise quality |
| people around here would call number 1. It simply isn't. | | | | is sub-par. |
| The food is really good, some of the time. Most of the | | | | Number: 3 -- Boar's Head -- This place is awesome. It's |
| time it just a good place to eat, nothing spectacular | | | | all the way on the west end so if you're not already |
| and certainly not for the price. It is probably the most | | | | staying down that way prepare for a drive. It's worth it. |
| expensive place in town, by far. You will hear people | | | | If you plan to stay out on the west end then you |
| give this rave reviews when in town. I recommend | | | | probably will hear about no other restaurants but this |
| going there, of course, but it isn't a place that you | | | | one and you will most certainly eat here and love it. |
| should feel bad about not making it to during your trip. | | | | Number: 2 -- Angelo's -- Angelo's has been a staple of |
| Number: 9 -- Andy's Flour Power -- This place is | | | | Panama City Beach FOREVER! and its always |
| spectacular and the only reason it's not higher on the | | | | awesome. When your not inside enjoying the |
| list is because it simply doesn't serve dinner. That's right | | | | awesomely delicious dinner you can be outside taking |
| only Breakfast and Lunch here. But that's okay | | | | pictures of the kids on the 20 foot tall bull statue next |
| because it is awesome. It also has a bakery full of | | | | to the road. I can't tell you how many pics I've seen |
| some of the best stuff you can imagine and you can | | | | from years and years ago with kids on it that are now |
| take home. If my memory serves there really isn't | | | | here as adults taking pictures of their own kids. |
| anything over 10 bucks in here, so it is quite reasonable. | | | | Number: 1 -- Saltwater Grill -- I've heard many people |
| Definitely a better alternative for breakfast over the | | | | claim that Saltwater Grill and Captain Anderson's are |
| innumerable Waffle House's here. | | | | the best place in town hands down. For the most part |
| Number: 8 -- Captain's Table -- Unlike the other Captain | | | | they are right. I've already given you the reason's why I |
| above this one continually serves Grade-A quality and | | | | believe the Captain fell from the top. Now let me tell |
| is never hit or miss. Reason its low on the list? It's | | | | you why I think this one will rock your socks off. First |
| across the bridge in town and not directly on the | | | | of all the food quality is awesome. From the steak to |
| beach. That counts a lot for me as I do not like to drive | | | | the fish to the oysters it's all spectacular. Beyond that |
| for my food, and who's kidding, no one wants to do | | | | the prices are half of that of the Captains, most of the |
| that while on vacation. | | | | time. Secondly, be lazy and get your car valet parked |
| Number: 7 -- Black Angus -- Like the Captain's Table | | | | so you don't have to be fat and full searching for your |
| it's across the bridge so it gets bumped up the list a bit. | | | | car later. And most importantly they have a 25,000 |
| However, If I were offered to go to the Captain's | | | | gallon aquarium in the center of the restaurant full of |
| Table or this I'd always choose Black Angus just | | | | the most magnificent fish you've ever seen along side |
| because I love the Steak. No more stuff across the | | | | a pianist to serenade everyone all night. Sounds classy |
| bridge I promise. | | | | huh? Dress is casual though. Walk inside in your flip |
| Number: 6 -- Triple J's -- This place is pretty | | | | flops and shorts and no one will say a thing. A definite |
| comparable to the Black Angus, in fact the Black | | | | must visit if you're coming to Panama City Beach. |
| Angus is probably better more often, mainly because | | | | Well, that's my list. I'm sure over time some of these |
| the portions at Triple J's are relatively small. The main | | | | may fluctuate or even cease to exist, cross your |
| reason this beats out Black Angus is because of its | | | | fingers for Coconuts, but I stand by this list and glad to |
| location on the beach. It's closer to most of the things I | | | | hear any all comments or suggestions as to your |
| do here and will shave off a trip across the bridge. If | | | | opinions. By the way, the winter time is so |
| your trying to drive across that thing at dinner time you | | | | horrendously boring here that there is nothing to do |
| could be looking at some bad traffic getting to Black | | | | here but eat, so I know my food! |
| Angus. So, save yourself a possible headache and eat | | | | |
