First visit and we'll definitely be back…read more This was our first time at Shades Bar & Grill, and it was a great experience. We went with a group of seven and everything from the atmosphere to the food made it a really fun night out. The location and vibe are fantastic -- lively but relaxed, the kind of place where you can easily settle in with friends and enjoy a good meal. We started with appetizers for the table: calamari, onion rings, and volcano shrimp. All three disappeared quickly. The calamari was really good and normally comes served over jalapeños, but since I don't eat them the kitchen kindly put them on the side for us. The onion rings were fantastic, and the volcano shrimp had a little heat (which the spice lovers at the table really liked). For dinner I had the hibachi steak over fried rice with yum-yum sauce, cooked medium. It was excellent -- tender, flavorful, and a generous portion. Others in our group ordered the same dish and loved it as well. The chicken nachos were huge (normally an appetizer but easily a full meal) with really tasty queso that had a bit of spice. The burger and flatbreads at the table also got great reviews. We also tried the chocolate dessert bomb at the end (not sure of the exact name), and it was fantastic -- chocolate mousse and cake inside a chocolate shell with whipped cream. Definitely worth sharing. The drinks were great, the service was friendly, and the whole place had a welcoming feel. One thing we really appreciated as well: they offer a military discount, which was a nice touch. We're locals and this was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last. Highly recommend if you're in the Panama City Beach / 30A area.

We visited Pirates Island again (first time here in about 5 years!) and were not disappointed. We were greeted by patient employees who gave us a senior discount for my parents -- they were super helpful in sizing putters as well. The course was well thought out and had great stories and tidbits of information about pirates laid out across the massive location. The props and decorations were cute and immersive. This place was truly for the whole family. My only critique is the paths between the holes are uneven and a bit testy for older folks -- a woman behind us nearly fell several times throughout their trip. We will be back and we recommend this spot to anyone in PCB!

There are a couple of worn-down patches, but no where that effected the roll of the ball. We had a bit of sticker shock at the price ($18 per person for 18 holes) which adds up when you're out with your family. Now, you can potentially win $50 if you get a hole in one on the last hole, but that seems like a very unlikely outcome given the long blind shot you have to take. I'd still recommend it, but if you are price conscious, maybe do some comparison shopping since there are a lot of options in the area.

There were a ton of leaves and pine cones all over the course that would constantly affect the roll of the ball. We asked about the condition of the course, and they said that they blew it off and cleaned it at 4 o clock. We golfed at 6 PM... there's no way that the course got that messy with leaves and pine cones over the span of 2 hours. The workers were clearly lying to us. The big thing they use to market is you win $50 for a hole in 1 on hole 18, but on both courses, it's a very long blind shot, unlike the others holes on the course, and you are very unlikely to hit it. It's fun for the family, but if you're looking for the best mini golf experience for the price, I'd recommend somewhere else like Coconut Creek.
