We walked in and were seated quickly as a party of 5. There was a breakfast buffet, which was perfect for us. The food was just okay, nothing too special about it. I liked the grits and the bacon the most. The restaurant had a life-size Elvis at the door, which is something you don't see every day. Our waitress was very friendly and despite it being crowded, was very attentive. Nice spot was a quick breakfast buffet. read more

Definitely a yes!!! You don't find many places like this anymore. Family owned business that serves great food! They don't cheat you on portions and you are guaranteed to walk out with a full belly! We sat at the counter and it was as if everyone knew exactly what they should do and how to do it. Everyone was on the move and no slackers. The girl at the checkout made sure to ask every single person if their meal was good and she greeted each one with a big smile. Kudos to this place. I hope you are here for years to come! read more

Walked in to find the waitress singing along to the music and boy did that fit the whole feel of the diner!! It's like a step back in time to the traditional 50's diner! Now you know it's a fun place with super great service, let's talk about the food... Opted for the breakfast buffet and boy I will say our old standard breakfast restaurant was knocked out of the water!! There was such a varied selection of food.. eggs, bacon, chicken fried steak, chicken patties, fried potatoes, waffles, pancakes, grits, gravy, biscuits, and oh my the fruit selection was amazing!!! Everything was hot, or cold, as it should be and packed with flavor!!! A definite MUST visit!!!! read more

Came here for a late dinner. First off, wonderful server. He was kind and attentive. Two stars for that and if I were judging this place solely on service it would have been at least four stars. They were out of a few items and the food on a neighboring table convinced us to leave. I was expecting a good diner burger or decent steak. Out of steaks and the burgers looked less appetizing than a fast food burger. We paid for our dink's and left. read more

Great place to eat breakfast. Very crowded and buffet still stayed stocked. Customer service was awesome. Very affordable. Great location from our hotel. read more

Can't review the food because we left before even getting our names on the waiting list . Rudest hostess I have ever encountered. She was actually screaming at people to stand outside in the rain when they were trying to add their name to the list. Really sad because this was once was one of the friendliest, best places to have breakfast. read more

Don't walk away.. RUN away. The food absolutely horrid. Don't even get me started on the meat. The sausage was hard, the country fried steak I believe it was, was alright but there is so much I could talk about I'm going to cut the meat topic to the chase. The servers would alright, the lady we had she was have a bit of an attitude so I rate the STAFF a 4.5/10 and the service was somewhat fast but slow. So I'd say like a 5/10. And Oml the buffet- . The food looked absolutely disgusting. But then at the same time never judge a book by it's cover. But imo that's different when it comes too food. The only thing that looked apitizing was the pancakes and they were even that good. The tastes old and dry even WITH syrup. They were BARELY warm. Now I like the retro, vintage theme but don't let is blind you on the disgusting inside. Anyways, in conclusion. I DON'T recommend. Your better off going to Hardies or Waffle House then this place. read more

How do you make breakfast this bad!! Hospital food would be considered gourmet compared to this slop. Most everything was inedible. THe breakfast buffet was disgusting! I can't believe some actually think the breakfast buffet is good. Sorry but those that do have zero credibility in my book. read more

How can you mess up breakfast, right? Well, it wasn't messed up, but it wasn't good. Overdone bacon, dry eggs, and everything else fried. I filled a hole in my stomach as mama use to say. read more

Worst place to eat!! Food was over cooked a hot dog how the hell do ya over cook a hot dog??? Sold fries unfriendly wait staff. Ac up waaaaaayyyy too high, I'm just glad I didn't get food poisoning. Stay away! read more

I would classify this diner as "Neglect-Inspired Americana" Every single element of our meal was disgusting in its own unique way. It started with the Tea which tasted about a week old, probably the freshest thing about our meal. The hamburger looked like what I imagine a post-apocalyptic hospital would serve. My wife and I swabbed up the pickle juice from our plates and grabbed the unrefrigerated condiments from the table and dove in. Luckily, the burger was tasteless. The fries looked crispy and promising but contained cool chewy potato with a putrid flavor reminiscent of old musty carpet. I get the sneaking suspicion that I'll soon add "Stomachaches" to their slogan, "Steaks, Shakes, Pancakes" read more

It looked like a great little greasy spoon diner from the fifties from the outside. Hopeful for a waitress to take my order from a menu, I went in during the normal breakfast hours to see they only offered buffet style. The buffet wasn't great, the place didn't seem clean, and I will not return. Bummed because it looks like in its hay day it was a cool little diner. read more

Had hoped it would be good. It has a buffet Nd the pics looked pretty good. Thought a 50 diners atmosphere would be fun. Unfortunately the atmosphere was dive restraunt with poorly done 50's decor. The buffet left a lot to be desired. Overly fatty baccon, dried out scrambled eggs, chewy soft waffles, and a pitiful example of breakfast potatoes. The worst part however was the service. I was condisended to and had orders barked at me like I was child. Worst service i have had in a long time, possibly ever. read more

Tasty, affordable, great atmosphere. Megs our server was hands down amazing. Breakfast bar was great. Highly recommend

So we had breakfast here, and we were not impressed.my wife asked if they make egg white omelettes with spinach. Yes we do, but we don't have spinach. So she ordered a egg white omelette with tomato and onion. I'm guessing that the grille was never cleaned, the egg whites were not so white. I order a dean omelette, and the eggs tasted fake, carton eggs. The server dorthy was great, always had HOT fresh coffee. read more

It's right across from towers on front beach road. They have a breakfast bar which is $8 and has chicken tenders, pancakes, waffles, bacon, fruit. The breakfast sandwiches are $3.25 (something like that) and it's pretty good. The bowl of grits is only $1.50 and it's very good. This place is diner atmosphere. The place is good. We haven't tried lunch yet. Our server was very good!! We came here twice in a role so far read more

Two people got buffet. Nothing about this food was homemade. Not even a food smell when you walk in the restaurant. Not worth $36. It tasted a lot like those free hotel breakfast items. Bacon was good. read more

There are so many good choices for breakfast in Panama City Beach. This is not one of them. The service is good, probably the highlight. The breakfast buffet ......uhhhhh. It has a good selection. Fruits, eggs, potatoes, French toast sticks, biscuits and gravy to name a few. The problem is the cook is from the school of; I better cook a bunch, We might get a bus! Every cooked item was cold rubber like mess. I can say if they did not cook another thing the bar is good for another 2 days. Just no excuse unless you justify it with the 8.95 price. (Kids .85 for every year of age) I'm going to give it 1 star for the price. read more

I wanted this place to be so good, but it was yuck. The restaurant name reads Steaks, Shakes, and Pancakes, not the All American Diner. They have a cute 50s 60s look with Elvis and Marilyn Monroe statues, but the food on the breakfast buffet wasn't good. The staff was friendly but they were loudly talking about their personal life issues. Hard tasteless bacon, tasteless weird textured eggs, rubbery pancakes, watery grits, grocery store type french toast sticks, some kind of disgusting "tot" stuff that was tasteless and mushy. The sausage was red hotdog looking things and not like any sausage I've ever seen before. The whole food experience was just awful lol. $8 for all you can eat but we didn't finish our first plate. It's really disappointing that this place was so bad :( read more

The cure for a PCB hangover is greasy all American Diner! A couple cups of good ol fashion Folgers at the diner and all you can eat breakfast brought me back from the dead. If I go back I will order from the menu. They do a better job on the cooked to order food. Not bad for about $8. read more

If there were zoro I would put a big ol' ZERO !!! OMG! are you kidding me ? I couldn't even find one thing I want from the menu. The place look cool as when we walked in with Elvis and marlin statue ...guess that makes it AMERICAN :/ the food..... The food..... Didn't see anything I want. Sure is all american food... Burgers , hot dogs.. Grilled cheese .... Ice cream ... Fries. Well.... When I ask for soup, no soup the polish servers still kept suggesting me "salad bar " for the 3rd time I said no. Never mind. I don't want any. My boyfriend ordered philly cheese steaks and fries and an hour later he had hurricane reaction going on in his stomach . Enough said... This is what happen when you don't yelp before you go to a restaurant guys !!! read more

Went out to eat with my kids and husband on our family trip. Stopped to eat here after going to gulf world. Food was good. But went to the buffet and the old lady behind the counter putting out food slapped my hand when I went to reach for the tongs like everyone else was doing who was a paying customer. I asked her why she slapped me and she repeatedly told me to shhhhh!!! I'm assuming so she wouldn't get in trouble.... on top of everything my kids had to watch it happen.... this was the worst experience will never go back! read more

Great spot with plenty to look at inside. The service and food were all good. They also have a breakfast buffet. Definitely a must try.

Save yourself the trouble and turn around. This place is complete garbage. Half of the stuff on menu was not available. Servers don't look or act like they want to be here nor pay zero attention to what you order. Ordered Tea with lemon and got coffee with lemon in it lol. Ordered the lumber jack potatoes and subsituted ham with chicken. Lumber jack potatoes came with ham. Ended up leaving and going to waffle house down the street. I would suggest the same before you waste your time and money here. read more

Pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a diner. All your basic breakfast needs are here, eggs, pancakes, bacon, fruit. Service is pretty quick thanks to a nice breakfast buffet that is small but well stocked. Go during a busy time and the turnover on the buffet ensures that everything is hot and fresh. read more

Food was fresh. Staff was nice. Would recommend eating here for breakfast while your here on vacation.

Let me start off by saying the customer service was good they were friendly. but the food was awful the eggs were artificial I had hash browns that tasted freezer burnt and the sausage tasted and smelt like burnt rubber. read more

Yummy! I had the "Bogart" which is a Spanish omelet and it was great. The cheese, ham, pepper & onion ratio was just right and the eggs were light and fluffy. They offer all kinds of flavored creamers on the table and I tried some I wouldn't normally buy. They had regular flavors like vanilla, hazelnut, sweet cream, etc, but they also had chocolate chip cookie, cinnamon roll, and a few others. My friends had biscuits and gravy, chicken and eggs, and a waffle and everyone was happy and we all left satisfied and full. read more

This place was absolutely terrible. I have yet to go here for lunch, so this review is strictly based on breakfast. I came here because they had a breakfast buffet, but what they don't tell you is that everything on the Buffet taste absolutely awful. The items on the buffet had no flavor, and most of the items had a weird texture. The restaurant was freezing and the table we were at was dirty. The only reason it did not get 1 star is because our waiter was very nice and attentive. Actually I think the entire staff was really nice, even the cook, the food was just that horrible though. Because of such a bad experience at breakfast I could not bring myself to waste money eating lunch there. read more

I can say right away this place isn't a 1 star restaurant. Yes, it is a greasy spoon diner with an Elvis statue inside so don't expect anything more than that. At 10:30 PM with kids there aren't a lot of options in PCB (well, at least not in off season). We all ordered a variety from burgers to breakfast platters and the food was much better than I expected after reading the other reviews (except for the fries, they are frozen). You get a lot of food here and it's moderately priced. They have a breakfast buffet starting sometime in the AM but I can't speak for that. Maybe that's where some of the complaints have validation, but I would return again if it was past normal restaurant hours in PCB. 2.5 stars. read more

Order the breakfast bar, can't go wrong with that! Grits are fabulous. Service is fast & friendly.

Not much to say. Had the burgers and fries. Not the highest quality of food, but it served its purpose as a late night option. Crinkle fries were heavily undercooked. It was close and convenient though. read more

This is definitely a diner! But the service was awesome. We had the cheese curds it was a giant portion that came with ranch and marinara. They were really really good. I had the bacon cheeseburger. The bacon was thick cut. And burger had a lot of flavor. It came with a huge portion of fries and cole slaw. My husband had the steak sandwich it was a little tough but had good flavor. My daughter had a BLT. it had at least 6 huge pieces of bacon. My other daughter had a grilled cheese. All the sandwiches came with a huge portion of fries. read more

Wow! I ate and then ate some more! I had the breakfast buffet, but I think I am good to go for the rest of the day. I ate so much I got the meat sweats! My 3 kids hit the buffet 13.5 times each and left in a food coma. It is clean and delicious! Now we are heading back to the beach to burn off the carbs! read more

Basic breakfast buffet, not very good food. Watered eggs, old muffins, soggy bacon (it's supposed to be crispy). Not recommended for any type of hunger. Not recommended ever. read more

Only thing good in the breakfast buffet was eggs and biscuits. Pancakes, waffles and French toast sticks were hard as rocks. Gets 2 stars cause they replaced with fresh when we asked. But even so, they still aren't all that good. Loved the 60's dinner vibe. But all that was good about this place. read more

good place for breakfast! the buffet offered so many options and the service was great!
