Although you'll find an almost endless array of chain restaurants in Panama City Beach, the city does have some extremely good locally owned restaurants as well if you are willing to look beyond Pier Park and Front Beach Road.

A white-light-adorned oak tree in the center of the dining room sets a warm, wistful tone at this casual fine-dining gem. The menu features fresh seafood (including a sushi bar) and Southern feel-good staples, all creatively plated. Diners typically rave about the personalized service.
535 N. Richard Jackson Blvd., Panama City Beach, Florida, 32407, USA
Join the throng of locals who really know their seafood, roll up your sleeves, and dig into some of the Gulf's finest blue crabs or shrimp—all seasoned to perfection. Gumbo, crawfish, fish tacos, sandwiches, and burgers are also on the menu. Don’t be in a hurry, though; this is a beach experience to savor, and service is strictly first come, first served.
3000 Thomas Dr., Panama City Beach, Florida, 32408, USA
Since 1967, Capt. Anderson’s has been serving local seafood while working to protect the fragile coastal economy. Come early for dinner—not only to watch the boats unload the catch of the day, but also to beat the crowds at this landmark, family-friendly restaurant, which, despite having 725 seats, can still fill up.
5551 N. Lagoon Dr., Panama City Beach, Florida, 32408, USA
A 25,000-gallon saltwater aquarium provides a dramatic focal point at this popular, upscale restaurant. The menu features steaks and all kinds of seafood, from lobster to Gulf grouper to whatever else is available fresh from the markets each day. The restaurant is busy year-round but especially so in the high season, so arrive early or prepare to wait.
11040 Hutchison Blvd., Panama City Beach, Florida, 32407, USA
The food at this beachfront spot is far from fancy, but it’s good and fresh, the beer is cold, and sunsets are celebrated with a cannon blast. It's a good family place for lunch or an early dinner; kids can have burgers and play on the beach while Mom and Dad enjoy grown-up drinks and gumbo, steak, burgers, crab-stuffed shrimp, or fresh grouper.
