This was a nice little beach side grill location, it was family friendly and dog friendly to a degree... our boy is shy of strangers, but non aggressive and has been doing well with human Crowd trainings. because he is a malinois and looks can decieve, we secluded ourselves to a back corner on the patio. Our waiter unfortunately was not dog friendly not sure why they would work at an establishment that allows dogs, if scared of them- so he would not come to our table.... I didnt even care to catch his name for a review. But the bartender who was on duty (Gin) was AHHHMAAZING, she realized immediately that he was no threat and treated us no differently, due to her demeanor and behavior, our dog was able to truly relax with us and as a family we felt welcomed. I want to emphasize on the female bartender Gin.. -even though she was swamped with orders and everybody pulling her each and every way, she still had a great energy about her and overall was the reason we as a family were able to enjoy ourselves read more

They get 2 stars simply because Miss Penny was amazing. Aside from that, this place really missed the mark. I should've trusted my gut and stuck with what Florida does best -- fried seafood. Instead, we decided to branch out and ordered a pulled pork sandwich and a smash burger. Neither should be hard to get right. The "smash burger" tasted like a frozen patty that had been smashed during processing, not an actual fresh smash burger. If you're going to advertise a smash burger, serve a real smash burger. Same goes for the pulled pork. If you're going to advertise pulled pork, then serve real pulled pork -- not something that tastes reheated and generic. At the end of the day, this feels like a lot of beach bars: overpriced food, overpriced drinks, and menus that promise one thing but deliver something completely different. read more

We enjoyed it's so much we went three times during our trip to PCB! The Pina Coladas are delicious and you get to keep the souvenir cup. Also the breakfast that we had which included the Grits Bowl and the Burrito were very, very tasty! I will say though that at 9:30 a.m. to run out of champagne for mimosas was very disappointing. But the service made up for that! It was a little strange though that you couldn't get up to the bar area directly from the beach even though there was a path. You have to walk under the restaurant and over hot cement in the parking lot to get to it (I was at the beach so barefoot). read more

Great views and good breakfast. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive, this is a great spot when you're on vacation and want to eat while looking for dolphins (we spotted two!!) read more

Arrived here in the evening and was seated almost immediately outside. My friend and I then sat at our table for 20 minutes without being greeted. I then went to the hostess to see if we could be served. 5 minutes later our waitress arrived. This same waitress was serving the couple next to us and had been to their table multiple times while we waited. It did not appear to be very busy in the restaurant. It then took about 25 minutes to receive our meals and we were disappointed again. I ordered the barefoot pasta. The chicken tasted like canned chicken, I was missing the sausage that was supposed to be included, and the bread was a hot dog bun cut diagonally. My friend ordered the barefoot nachos and she states they came out stale. Only added 2 stars for my drink- Summer Squeeze and for the view of the beach. Very disappointing evening as we have previously came to this restaurant in the past for brunch and had a nice time. read more

The service was great but unfortunately the food was lackluster at best and left us feeling disappointed. The fish was tasteless. I wouldn't recommend stopping here. read more

Was in PCB signing contracts for a new construction home. Was off season, so no wait. Great view and location. Food was unremarkable and overpriced but had an unmistakable Caribbean feel, cocktails were similar, and while very colorful, tasted weak, bland and watered down. That was a couple years ago now, was disappointed, might try again after this season. read more

Horrible. Our server knew not one thing. Took well over an hour to receive any of our drinks. The cocktails were horrific. When we tried to complain, the bartender with gapped teeth, a bad black box dye, and terrible tattoos offered no apology and forced us to pay for food we never received. She offered it to be boxed up to go. Only to receive our food 30 minutes later. Forced us to tip 20% on our to go order that we did not want. Please never go here, worst service I've ever experienced. I could never recommend a place less. read more

Service was terrible. I think we waited at the table at least 40 minutes before we got to order. We were there 2 hrs and was sat down immediately. I couldn't drink my strawberry margarita. I didn't like the firecracker shrimp. Gator bites were ok. Chicken salad was good. My son couldn't eat his chicken sandwich. The captains platter which was shared between two people wasn't good. The fried shrimp was ok. read more

Ima avid Grouper eater, esp when I'm in Florida and this was one of the best/biggest I've had!! It def was hot/fresh even the fries were hot!! Nice work!! The service was great as well....Nice job Tyrone!! My only suggestion is to ditch the Tabasco sauce and get some Franks hot sauce!!! The difference between night n day in heat!! read more

Horrible. Took an hour to get water. Bartender with box dye black hair was the worst. Scolded us and made us auto gratuity because we complained and asked for our meal to go after two hours. Drinks were horrible. We weren't the only ones, everyone in the restaurant wanted to die. read more

fish was a smell to it. Waiters was nice . Prices were very high any it took 1 hour just to get a apitiezer to our table and 20 more min. to get rest of meal. read more

We came in one day and wanted to give this place a try. Parking was horrible, as there is not much, and it is horrible to cram into there. We walked down the stairs and were seated very quickly. The waitress disappeared after taking our drink order, and we almost walked out. She finally came back, and things got back to normal. I ordered the cajun french dip burger. It sounded good / interesting. However, with the name 'cajun', you'd think there was some heat. You would, sadly, be mistaken. There was no heat whatsoever on this french dip. As a french dip, it was good, but as a 'cajun' french dip, I was let down. My wife's shrimp were great, and the kids loved the shrimp, as well as their food. So it was just my food that was the let down. read more

My wife and I were in Panama City Beach and we walked only a few blocks away to Barefoot. I was trepidatious after seeing a three star Yelp review, but I wanted to try it out. It is right on the water and I ordered a grouper sandwich with a lovely Caesar salad and my wife got the Philly cheesesteak and a side of fries. Our server was super nice and the grouper sandwich came out pretty quick, but the Caesar salad was really good! The fries were amazing, maybe because I never get French fries, kind of like pizza, which I hardly ever get, every time you get a real piece of pizza, it tastes like gold. The place is pretty huge, it was raining, so we sat inside. The cheesesteak was good, but I brought most of it home for leftovers. There are lots of great places in Panama City Beach, this isn't the best, but it is worth a shot for a nice lunch. read more

The restaurant is located right on the beach and it has a beautiful view. The server was friendly. She recommended a new beer on tap. The beer was great. However, the food was not delivered quickly, even though it was not busy. When it arrived, it was cold. The ketchup bottle was empty. The fish sandwich was not served with tartar sauce. The bill was not correct, although they did offer to fix it. The grouper sandwich was average tasting. The fries were crispy and came in cute wire baskets. read more

We decided to walk down the beach and stop in for some breakfast. We have been to PCB several times but never stopped in before. Happy to say, we weren't let down. The food was great! The drinks were cold and the service was efficient and pleasant. Top off the music and the view and we were right at home! Thank you Barefoot for an awesome experience. Oh and to make even better, one of our orders took a while to come out, so they gave us an extra Belgium waffle complimentary. We will be coming back here for sure! read more

Barefoot Hide A Way Grill - The Bowl! Potatoes, sausage egg and cheese! - Seafood Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Well, for starters we walk into the building and people are piled in the waiting area looking for someone to talk to and put their name down. Come to find out they aren't taking names down so we ask the hostess if they have a list with names on it, of course they don't so we beg the hostess to start a list of names so they know the order in which we arrived. After a bit of convincing, she does. We finally get seated within 25 minutes of that. We get seated and then wait an additional 35-40 minutes just for someone to take our drink orders. As they finally realize we are in fact outside and haven't been seen we want to place our food and drinks at the same time to avoid further delay. All we wanted were some oysters. They said online and on the menu they had them. The server said they don't have any and are making a new menu but haven't changed it out. I don't ask for a lot but if you advertise something you better have it and if you don't tell me as soon as you sit me down. All around not a great experience. I'm typing this without trying the food which in my opinion I don't have to. So if you're looking for oysters don't come here. Giving this place one star because I can't choose zero. read more

This is for sure a hidden gem you should try. We walked over the other nite and almost did not go in as the outside deck was empty along with the sign hard to see. Went in and the inside was empty but did see people sitting outside beach front. About 5 tables. Service was outstanding- I got the Grouper sandwich and it was fantastic along with hot and great fry's. Beer was also ice cold. So don't let the lack of people and it looking closed - great food. read more

I looked on here for a good review of their shrimp and grits. I went with it and it was truly amazing. I've never thought of adding pimento cheese ( a dollop) which had a wonderful spice to it. It truly complimented the whole dish! I've never thought of using that!!! Service was amazing and of course the laid back vibe with beautiful views!!! read more

Great little stop in shop for a quick lunch! We stayed at a place right down the beach and wanted to grab a bite pick bite for a late lunch. Barefoot didn't disappoint. We ate the firecracker shrimp and split a jerk chicken sandwich with chips and salsa. Food was great and service was awesome! read more

The service was great, we got there 15 minutes before lunch and they accommodated us for lunch instead of breakfast. I will say the breakfast menu is smaller than lunch menu. The vibe of the place was fun! Calm and quiet for a nice family meal. Highly recommend the shrimp tacos or the chicken pineapple sandwich! read more

Went in after traveling with my daughter and granddaughter after being in a car 8 hours. We were wanting to sit and relax. My daughter went to the bar to order a drink while I parked the car. She was asked to show her ID. She is 40 and has gained weight since her last child. The bar tender Brandy said that wasn't her in her I'd and showed it to other patrons. Laughing. She has gained 40 pounds since that picture. Found my daughter crying at the door. I asked to see the manger Tyron. He was also rude. Brandy said the picture looked more like me than her. My Concetta use to be a model and that was her on her ID. Not a great start to our vacation but no worries we went to Sharkys. We had a blast ant Sharkys and spent a lot of money. Don't waste your money on the other place. read more

Been around a lot this places even the bad ones, this one topped the cake. It was pathetic, service was horrible. Waitress was completely disrespectful. She Rolled eyes at any opportunity, even with the restaurant less than half full. No wonder the rest of the Beach restaurants were packed and this place was open.... highly recommend not to eat here. I will say it is unfortunate because the place has a good vibe potentially. read more

Wow, what a poor excuse for a bar/restaurant. There were probably 3 tables with people at them, and that's the inside & outside combined. Took forever to get service, just as long to get our drink. After 1 drink, the 4 of us left! Now I guess we know why they weren't busy..... read more

Don't do it! My Family and I just had probably the worst restaurant experience we've ever had. Stopped in at this restaurant at 7:00 on a Sunday evening. There was no wait, there were a few empty tables and lots of staff members. Our server, Colleen, started off fair but went downhill from there. Offered no refills. Refills were only brought when my husband asked. When she brought them she dropped them at the end of the table for us to pass out ourselves. We waited over 45 minutes for food after placing our order. Two of our $20 platters had onion rings on them. They weren't cooked at all. When we mentioned this to Colleen she said there was nothing she could do since they were included in the price of the platter. We were offered some French fries as compensation. I suggested maybe she could take off our drinks (4 iced teas). After speaking to her manager she came back and said the manager took $3 off our bill (totaling $100) for the undercooked food. The portion sizes were very small. Additionally we heard the table behind us telling their server something was raw, and heard the table on the opposite side being too told they were out of burger buns. Seriously, it was bad. Save your money and go elsewhere. read more

Barefoot Hide A Way Grill - Uncooked onion ring - Seafood Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Place was on the beach. We sat outside (party of 6). They didn't have like four beers we tried to get said they "didn't get their delivery". What's up with florida not not having Dos XX in most places? Menu was not very deep on selections only like 3 things in like 4 categories which we thought was weird being on the beach and should have had more than 3-4 fish type selections. Food was good but not super. Service was ok but waiter had a tinge of BO. Had a guy singing outside which was cool so we stayed by bar outside and had a couple drinks. Overall not bad if your in a pinch. But was on the beach so that was nice. It right by senior frogs and sharkys so try that first. read more

Extremely disappointing experience. The restaurant was nearly empty, yet it took well over an hour to get our food. Our server, Coleen, was one of the least attentive and least personable servers I've ever had -- slow to greet us, slow with drinks, and never once checked on our table. The onion rings came out raw and undercooked, and when we brought it up, the manager never came over. They knocked $3 off the bill, which felt like a slap in the face for the poor service and food. Definitely won't be back. read more
