Sandbar is an amazing local place! Craig and David the local owners are very involved in running the business and engaging with customers! Great beer and drink prices ! Oysters were great! Dillon the oyster shucker is quite a character! Some nights include great local bands.
Came in town from Tampa for a work meeting, winded up eating here out of pure happenstance, and it was great. My wife had the pulled chicken, and I had the rack of ribs. Both were excellent, but the ribs were a cut above. Perfect bark, and a good pull of meat off the bone. Best part of them is that they don’t over sauce the BBQ meat. They give you a cup of sauce to you can dip or spread it over them. I did not use the sauce, and it was one of my favorite rack of ribs EVER. We actually went back again the night before we came home, and it may have been even better than the 1st night. Highly recommend
The best food we’ve had in PCB! Delish, large portions and great staff. Make sure you try the smoked tuna dip
We had a great time eating here. This is a very kid friendly environment and at the same time fun for adults. Everyone working here was so nice and our waitress was such a sweetheart. We will be back and thank you for having us!!
Amazing live music and the food was even better. Great involved owner who we talked to a couple times throughout our evening. Grouper imperial was the best we’ve had down here and the portions were extremely generous. Not just a lot of ok food, a lot of the best food down here. Highly recommend checking this place out. The owner cares about his restaurant and employees and it comes through in every aspect of dining here.
Seaside shack type vibes. I had the seafood Alfredo.
10/10 PLENTY of food. The mussels are amazing, the scallops are so soft and sweet. Whoever the chef is knows his seafood. 1000000x better than margaritaville.
Fried shrimp and baked oysters were delicious. My best friend tried the raw oysters. Both oyster shocker did a great job on the oyster. I would highly recommend this place again.
Went to Panama City Beach for the weekend intent on exploring and trying new places, we ate here Friday and ended up coming back all weekend! Great beachy type bar and grill! The food was amazing, all the staff is on point and super friendly. Live music on Friday night was good, atmosphere is great. We had toddlers and everyone had a great time and left with full bellies. The owner is a super nice guy and makes his rounds making sure everyone is happy. Highly recommend the Cuban sandwich!
This place is a gem, we went for dinner and went back the next day, the food was delicious, prices were okay, excellent service and has parking. Close to the beach access. First night we had Red snapper filet and the next day I had the red snapper tacos a la carte with fries. You gotta try it.
This was a great place. Raw oysters were perfect, Baked oysters were perfect,
Steamed middlenecks with clarified butter were perfect. The bar tender and our waiter was outstanding. Definitely a place I would revisit!
Fun times, great food, and amazing drinks! There is so much variety in the menu and everything tastes great. I tried the tuna poké and Commander Dave’s shrimp. Both were outstanding. And if you’re a drinker, you have to let G mix up something for you! I suggest the Long Island Ice Tea. Best one I’ve had in life!

Good atmosphere. Crab claws are like crack. Cajun baked oysters are on point. Everything was yummy. Nikki, our server, was outstanding; great service and so friendly and funny. Seriously, ask for Nikki.
Best steamed seafood on the beach, which is hard to find!!! Great staff, great prices! We had the crawfish, shrimp, snow crab legs & scallops steamed & also the raw oysters are also great! If you’ve not tried it you should, you will not be disappointed!!!
Y’AAAALLLLLL let me tell you…this is the go to restaurant. Great menu variety, great service, sweet tea is hella good, and ya gotta try that Tuna Dip and the Snapper is divine for a first time snapper eater. Thanks for rocking my stay in PCB. Don’t be on a diet when ya eat here though cause if you’re a newbie to somethings yeah, your diet is gone. Looks like heavy boot camp courses to come after I get back home. But totally worth it.♡
Awesome experience the owner is pleasant and eager to please. Would come here anytime in Panama City. Bartender Gerald is one of the best I’ve ever met.
May your crabby be happy! Love sandbar’s food!
Best gumbo on the beach! And everything else is great, too!
Great eats, fantastic people
It was our first time trying this place and was awesome the food was really good!!
I love the bartender that mixes all the special drinks. He’s funny and excellent mixer! Food is also superb.
Friendly staff, great food, reasonably priced. Had the best shrimp dish ever with their Top Secret butter sauce. Absolutely delicious! A gem we found passing through Panama City Beach. Hoping to get back there on my return trip…it was just that good!
Always enjoy eating here and the Commander Dave’s entree is absolutely awesome if you like spicy food
Great food • Friendly staff • Good for groups
This place is a hidden gem in Panama City. Fantastic fried shrimp and hush puppies. You have to try the smoked tuna appetizer with chips. Really fresh seafood with great service!
This is amazing food! Low key and unexpected at this location but everything is always amazing! We come here at least 2-3 times every time we visit Panama City. The food is the best and it is always consistent. It’s a very relaxed atmosphere with amazing food and nice people! The price is also always great!
Shocked at how good this place was. It blows away any other seafood place on the Gulf Coast. I love good seafood and this place did not disappoint. We live 2 hrs away and we will definitely drive back over just to eat here again. Great service, good sweet tea, fabulous sautéed crab claws, amazing mussels, and the commander shrimp was superb! I could go on and on about this place! I’m telling you, this place is nothing fancy, but the food is soooooooo good. Beats the Back Porch and Dusty’s hands down.
Best Seafood EVER! It’s the place where everybody knows your name! No one is a stranger here! So go with an empty tummy! EVERYTHING IS DELICIOUS!
