El Weirdo - (Near Panama City, FL)

James Davidson Hey there! I stumbled upon this hidden gem and I’m thrilled to share it with you. It’s an absolute must-visit if you ever find yourself in west central Florida. I recently visited on Friday evening, and let me tell you, it was an experience like no other. The place is so welcoming and authentic that it feels like you’ve stepped into someone’s backyard. They had an incredible spread of food, including all sorts of delicious sauces and sides. I couldn’t resist taking a huge sample of nearly everything to bring back home to my family (east central coast). They were absolutely raving about it! I returned on Monday through Wednesday to enjoy dinner there again. The only reason I missed out on Monday was because they’re closed on that day. I would’ve loved to go on Tuesday or Wednesday, but I couldn’t resist the temptation to come back and try the place again. The staff is nothing short of amazing. They’re super professional, attentive, and caring. And let’s not forget about the sauce wall! It’s an “utter” gem of a marketing idea. It’s so creative and it makes you want to try everything on the menu. Oh, and let me tell you about Nick. He’s the kindest and knowledgeable as any BBQ PitMaster I’ve ever met. He took the time to explain the entire menu to me, and I really appreciated it. I love this guy! Sierra, the GM, was compassionately professional. She explained the entire history of the location in the company. And the front counter staff was amazing. They were super friendly and helpful. I even bought one of their pink hats themed in Pink, because it matched perfectly with my Breast Cancer medical practice. Nick mentioned that he and Cage would be there on Wednesday, so he offered to save me two racks of ribs. I was so grateful that he did! My family absolutely loved the ribs with all the other delicious sides I brought back on Wednesday. We’re planning a trip over during the Christmas break when all four of us are home. We’re going to go shopping at the cool country store and enjoy some more amazing BBQ sides. It’s going to be a blast! So, if you’re ever in the west central Florida area, make sure to check out this restaurant. It’s a must-stop! I highly recommend it. You won’t be disappointed!

Penny Adams Love the fish especially the whole catfish here and the shrimp

Starfire Travel We had a great meal with good service by Haley. The shrimp dish was excellent. The atmosphere was sporty and we could watch Sunday Night Football. The option to purchase a bottle of wine was convenient.

Kris Jennings Trivia night on Thursday was a blast! Wonderful, warm, chill atmosphere. Perfect food, volume, vibe, everything. I could only get a snap of the pizza as we were packing up leftovers because it was all too amazing to stop for anything as soon as we tasted the perfection. The thin crust… the flavor… so good

Elliot Very good restaurant, I definitely recommend. Nick was our server, very nice and very professional. The food was very good too, we had the jambalaya, the chicken friend grits, and the best dessert, the deep fried Oreos. The portions were huge.

Dave Fulton This is a quaint little resturant with authentic ilalian food and decore. A must stop if mear by.
