List 14 Budget-Friendly Restaurants Near You in Panama City, Florida (Part 2)

RVPeak This is a great place for bbq. I did not expect the large portions and and delicious food but that is what I got. I highly recommend this place for a great meal. The server was friendly and knowledgeable, she made us feel welcome. The location had room but the decor could use some work. It is one of the best bbq joints that I have been to in the area. If you get the nachos, make sure you have someone to share them with.

Pamela The Islandgirl Food and Service was excellent! Has a Bayview for watching the awesome sunset. Classy place. Nicely furnished. Cool bar with TVs and Affordable menu.

Can very highly recommend!

Shaina Grace Ate here for the first time and I did not regret it. The wait can be long bc it’s so popular. Daniel was our server and he was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Everything we had was delicious. From drinks, to appetizers, to main course. Especially the rolls that came with the crab fingers. We definitely will be back.

cy6belle rey The best Jamaican restaurant we’ve tried! The chicken curry was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, while my husband’s jerk ribs were tender with just the right amount of heat and smoky flavor. The portions were generous, and the atmosphere made us feel like we were right in Jamaica. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Doris Elliott We love this place! My daughter looks forward to going every week! She wants to continue culinary classes with this company. She has been cooking at home a lot more and enjoys it.

Amber Holt PERFECT! This place is a real gem! I had Cajun Eggs Benedict and Crawfish Étouffée (to go) and the food was beautiful, fresh, and delicious! I feel its a safe assumption that everything is delicious here. Staff was lovely and did everything just right, and the atmosphere is gorgeous! I was even lucky enough to get to see Jamah Terry perform his incredible talent of being a one-man-band by playing ALL the instruments himself, building the song layer by layer AND singing! This was the BEST experience and I am absolutely putting this place in my favorites! Thank you for taking such pride in the establishment!

Howard-Lenoir Katrice N (Tricey) We were first timers dinning in at the Chow Time Grill & Buffet located in Panama City. As we walked in I noticed the buffet was not like the ordinary buffet. Even though It was a crowd, there was a nice ambiance to this buffet. We were surprised at the huge selection of food options. They served a variety of foods hot and fresh. I loved the fried Catfish and fried Shrimp. The food was a 10 out 10. I had Apple Pie for dessert and boy oh boy, It was so delicious. I didn’t catch our Waitress name but she was totally awesome. She worked the entire station. We never had to stop her and ask for anything. She was so attentive. While this guy and another female stood in our section foundling each other. I couldn’t believe how unprofessional they were. Standing up in the middle of our section rubbing and grabbing each other as if they were guest. After about an hour inside we were stuffed. We really enjoyed our time here. The place was always clean and they kept bringing out more hot food. Customer service was top notch and the price was just right. We will return here.

Dave Winemiller Food was amazing! I ordered an ACP and added steak and shrimp, and it was some of the best I’ve ever had. The chips had seasoning on them and the salsa tasted great. The flan (not pictured) is also tasty if you’re still hungry for dessert. The atmosphere was delightful. There was live music and outdoor seating by the water. Angie was my server and she did a fantastic job, she was very attentive, helpful, and had a good attitude. If I wind up in Panama City again I’m definitely going to come back!

Michelle pyle We did the sunset dolphin cruise. The price was very affordable! The staff was super friendly and informative. We did see 4-5 groups of dolphins. Their outdoor property was amazingly landscaped!! They had a couple of food trucks, live music, 3 different landscaped seating areas and yard games. It was the perfect place to just sit, relax and hangout. I wish we had something like that over here by Titusville LOL

Alessandro Pompei This is a great environment restaurant, bar. They have outside large screen tv . Talking about food the seafood boil was excellent. I just found out the crawfish fish is a specialty there. Looking forward to a new meal . Thank you for the great service

Larry Haywood This place is always packed no matter the location because the food is amazing. I like that they include the calories on the menu as well to help me track my macros. I had the Longhorn with the steakhouse mac and cheese and asparagus. Shout out to Schwartz for being a great server. The only complaint I have isnt their fault at all but its so many people you cant carry a conversion without having to raise your voice, its very loud.

Jared Roddam First trip here yesterday and we will definitely be back! Wonderful food, great folks, and even better cake! Go see them. You won’t regret it.

Devon Inge Came here to eat for the second time in the past week. The first time was great. The second time was even better! The food has been very good. So far, I had the Grilled Gator - [8/10], Sauteed Shrimp - [9/10], Blackened Crab Cakes - [8.5/10], Crab Bisque - [*5/10], Beignets [7.5/10], and Jambalaya [6/10]. The staff was great. Super friendly and helpful. Barbara was the sweetest. She brought out a burger order to show one of us the size of their burgers, (huge btw) which helped decide whether to order it or not. She also remembered us and our orders from the first time we went. Lastly she asked if we wanted dessert and we were all pretty full so we said not but she still got a fresh order of beignets made for us to share, on the house. Extremely thoughtful and appreciated. Atmosphere is cozy and patrons were also very friendly and kind. Someone was having a bday the first time we went and they offered our whole table slices of cake. *Saving grace for the bisque was pouring my plate of sauteed shrimp into the crab bisque, which was my plan from the start. Turned from a 5/10 to a solid [9.5/10]

Hannah Peters Service was great! I had a male server, I don’t remember his name but he had a broken arm, I got the lumberjack burger and a ceaser salad and my friend got the I love bacon burger with fries, the burgers were great, the Caesar dressing was fishy tasting and I wasn’t a fan, I told the server and he instantly fixed it and got me fries and was very kind about it all, the atmosphere is great the staff is very friendly. It’s a little expensive but I would say worth it overall. I will be back to try the Philly.
