    Cute brunch spot by the water. It was a little tricky to find with Google Maps. We went on a busy weekend. You put your name on a list and then they call you and get you seated. Food can take a while to come since everything is made fresh. Hubby thought the meat empanadas were ok, wish they could have had more stuffing. I liked my crab cake Benedict. All the baked goods are really good. We enjoyed the cookies and the Argentine style cake slice we brought back to enjoy later. They only have bottled water so bring a drink with you while you wait on the hot summer days.

    On the water and Google Maps struggles to get you here. The surface streets under the bridge work out if you are diligent. Think old Florida fishing shack meets good food. We had the French Toast and a breakfast sandwich. Good coffee and nice servers. There is a long line some times so plan on that I guess. I had a good mean and the locals that recommended it were right. It's not fancy and if you can sit inside you can beat the heat.

    We went for lunch and they didn't disappoint. I had Chimimchurri Steak sandwich with fries with lemonade. Also BLT sandwich was ordered w/ adding potato salad homemade. Our server was great and we really enjoyed looking out at river and boat landing & pier.

    Best breakfast in PCB! The service was great! Pancakes, french toast and quesadilla were all top notch!

    What a great little place. Food is so delicious, staff is very friendly, and it's just very calm with nice views. I wished I lived closer cause I would stop by here on a regular base.

    Meat lover's omelette with home fries

    Oh my goodness this place is amazing! Charming little breakfast dive, comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The service was fantastic, very attentive without hovering. The food?! Ohhhhhhh it was so good. French toast was off the charts, my steak & cheese omelette was perfect, the home fries were delicious. Definitely a new go-to in PCB

    Sitting outside eating breakfast.. great place

    Recommended on FB as a great breakfast place. Many had not heard of it so we "Seek and found" very pleased. Wrote it up on FB site " Hole-in -the/wall-cafe, service/ food variety/ food was excellent. Season and off season days/time vary so look it up . Will return

    The fun way to visit Bayside Cafe tucked away under the bridge.

    Paddled over today for a delicious BLT. The staff are always welcoming and the food delicious.

    The Bay Cristo
    Christopher G.

    The food is expensive and only OK, the Bay Cristo should be billed as a french toast sandwich for accuracy. The Meat Lovers empanada was by far the best thing we ate and it wasn't great. My wife thought it was exceptional. All the condiments are made in advance because my sour cream had the water on top. The cookies are exceptional especially the raspberry tart. The view would be beautiful except it overlooks a broken down dock and barge. There are plenty of ducks roaming the grounds so if you love animals like that or have small children they will be entertained. Avoid the coffee and lattes, the syrups are mostly sugar free (which we were unaware of when we ordered), look like they have been sitting awhile, and come from a discount store like Homegoods. It was extremely busy but it is also spring break in Panama City Beach. Not sure if this was just an off day or the typical service. I will definitely try again in the future and make a final decision then.

    Bananas Foster Pancakes - with caramel drizzle & real whipped cream
    John K.

    This was near impossible for Waze & Apple Maps to find for some reason & we almost gave up. So glad we didn't. (Try navigating to Boondocks Restaurant just across road from it.) Anyway, looks like a small shack with outdoor seating but there's a cozy inside dining area with 10-12 tables. We ended up here twice during vacay week. Day 1, I got Bananas Foster pancakes (huge w/ multiple dollops of fresh whipped cream). Wife got Monte Cristo sandwich. Both delicious & what appeared to be the only server was capably whirlwind-ing around the place keeping everyone tended. Only knock is they were out of hot black tea but wife said coffee was delicious. Day 2, I got the 2+2+2, under the allegedly "smaller plate" menu: 2 eggs, 2 bacon & 2 French toast. Still took some home. Wife got the special, cranberry orange French toast - again good. With an Argentinian owner, it doubles as a bakery as well - we were just too full to order extras.

    We really enjoyed our experience at Farm & Fire in Santa Rosa Beach. We were seated in the bar area…read more- the atmosphere was very lively and we had a beautiful view out the window onto the bay. Service was just a little slow at first, but once things got rolling, our server was attentive and took good care of us. We ordered a couple of sushi dishes along with the Smoked Chicken & Prosciutto, and everything was delicious. The food was fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. Overall, it was a very enjoyable meal and a place we would definitely go back to again.

    BLUF: Nice restaurant with an eclectic menu of sushi, pizza and American fare and lovely views of…read morethe bay. Outside boat bar overlooking the Choctawhatchee Bay too. We went to Farm & Fire looking for quality food and we found it there along with bay views and great service. My table had salad, steaks, wagyu burgers and crab and artichoke dip. All were quality choices. We were seated in the inside bar area which was nice from the standpoint of having views of the Choctawhatchee Bay. There is also an indoor dining room with table clothes that feels a bit more refined. In addition to watching the bay, we were also able to do a little people watching. The crowd at the outdoor picnic tables enjoying drinks on the edge of the bay also seemed to be having a good time. Our server was awesome. She said it was her second day but I assumed she was a seasoned server for Farm & Fire. She was friendly and attentive and great with all of our questions. She had clearly studied the menu and knew the restaurant. The building has lots of different levels/elevations and stairs. Additionally, a majority of the parking is across the street. For that reason, I wouldn't take someone with limited mobility there but I enjoyed it and I would return.
