    The place is so Florida, old sea weathered look & right on the water best of all the food & service staff was amazing! The only down part is parking it's all bumpy dirt and not a lot of parking.

    View from our table.

    Our server was very friendly and gave us suggestions. Service was quick! Views were beautiful! Cool ambiance and it's not a chain restaurant. Grouper was cooked to perfection!

    The entrance. It looks small but  t is sprawling!

    I was looking for a best in class seafood place in PCB and found this on the interwebs... Yelp being out of commission at the time. It was well recommended (2 of 10 best) and about 5 miles, so headed over. It is definitely not on the main drag. If you don't intend to be there you wouldn't ever stumble across it. And. It is a magical place. From the parking lot through to the back rooms. Parking lot sprawls under massive live oak trees dripping with Spanish moss. The rambling buildings are such a throw back to real people and real places and old Florida that I wanted to cheer. We got there about 6:30 on a Saturday night and had a 45 minute wait made delightful for the rooms full of really nice gift items, t-shirts and clothing, all very reasonably priced. Then the waiting area goes out to the docks and you can get a cocktail (cash only) while you wait for your table. Seriously best margarita I have ever had - all home made and fresh squeezed. We were seated at a table looking out over the water and under the bridge. All the tables are a mishmash of comfy styles - all very down home and cheerful. The service is great. The food was excellent. We started with the bacon wrapped shrimp, then had either the Grecian Grouper or a plate of fried oysters and scallops. Delicious. And I hate hush puppies but gobbled theirs up! Crispy and light as air. We loved Boon Docks and look forward to coming back with more friends. Thank you!!

    The Boon Docks in Panama City Beach, Florida, is a casual, reliable spot for fresh seafood, right on the water with great views of the intercoastal waterway. Food and service are consistently solid. I prefer it for lunch--the reasonably priced specials make it a perfect midday choice.

    Grilled fish and fried scallops, okra, fries & hush puppies.

    The food was pretty good. Mostly local fried seafood. I think that was special. The service was great. Location and ambience did not disappoint. Beautiful area.

    Shrimp and scallops with cheese grits and green beans. $24 plate.

    The food was good and the atmosphere was nice! Green beans were too over seasoned. Little pricey for what you get but it was good.

    Rustic in a nice way, lots of good old fried food, but plenty of others to choose from. Had a margarita very good. Gumbo was good needed a bit more spice and a few more "goodies" except the very small popcorn shrimp and okra, no andoulle sausage but did have white rice added in. The deep fried crab claws were very good as was the bacon wrapped shrimp! Fries good, fried okra plentiful and good, all in all good food although I found the old wood chairs uncomfortable.

    My family loves the Boondocks and they had to take me, my wife, and stepson for the first time. First of all, very scenic with the pier out back looking at the bay. Second, this is for the fellow non-seafood eaters like me. The chicken tenders might be the best I have ever had from a seafood restaurant. They are fresh and have a cornmeal type breading. I chose cream corn and slaw as my sides. Cream corn was good but the slaw was on the dry side. We ordered fried pickles as an appetizer. They make their ranch in-house and we couldn't get enough of it with the pickles. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Try Boondocks for seafood and non-seafood eaters.

    My wife and I on the water.

    My fish ,shrimp,oysters,stuffed crab was all delicious.My wife had a steak and she loved it too.Service was great as usual and we were seated immediately.We sat at the bar and it was nice atmosphere.You can also go outside on the water and enjoy a cool beverage.Again it is highly recommended by The Working Man Review.

    Do they take reservations for big parties?

    Yes, I believe they do. You'll want to call during business hours to talk to someone is my suggestion.

    My husband picked up a chicken salad sandwich for me and he had "A Wreck" and they were both…read moreamazing! We bought the pickle (which they slice into 4 big spears) and a 6 pack of the assorted cookies (double chocolate chip/oatmeal raisin & sugar) and they were the bomb.com!

    I just had the worst experience with your employees at the Panama City Beach Florida location pot…read morebell. I received your coupon BOGO on my app. I wasn't sure how to use it. I entered my order into the app, but didn't yet pay. I simply went in after ordering on the app to ask for assistance in paying for it and told him I had the BOGO I wanted to use. I told him I had entered my order but the BOGO said apply at checkout, so I was asking how to pay and use the BOGO because the total was still for both sandwiches. He took my phone and said you need to add your payment info and it would give him a bar code that he would scan. I did as he instructed and it charged me for both sandwiches never showing a barcode I then asked for my money back and was told he couldn't do that, but I could still use the coupon again for two more days. I said this isn't right and he began to blame me for saying it was my fault because I already punched the order I which I initially showed him my phone and told him that. He got loud telling me it wasn't his fault and I told him it was because if his instructions. Seems very odd that he couldn't have canceled. This whole order had decent customer service and retake the order using the Bogo and also paying at the counter.. we both got loud. My wife was sitting at the table listening and when I walked over to table he then told me to get out and as I turned my sandwich bag hit my water courtesy cup that was in the table and it spilled on the floor and I told him sorry and we left. He literally followed us out of the store acting like he was calling someone. I wrote to Potbelly that I'd be sharing this experience online and on Yelp and you really should have some discussion with your employees about how they treat people (he said he was the assistant manager to boot). I have pictures of the receipt but just see the number 4024 and my name. I also have a picture if your BOGO which is why I went the to begin with. If your company is incapable of doing such a credit reversal and getting an order right it's a poor way of doing business. Will never step foot in that Potbelly's again to be treated with such disrespect.

    If I could give 0 stars I would because that's how many sandwiches I walked out with. Came in…read morearound 3 on a Sunday with my family. We ordered three subs off the menu. One guy was experienced and two were new hires. The new hire got done making our sandwich and another new hire just stared at us. We had been very patient, but after 5 mins of just waiting there to have someone check us out, I realized our sandwiches were gone. I told another lady I think she placed our sandwiches in the DoorDash order bags. She gave attitude and said "there is only one sandwich in here." How the heck do you lose three sandwiches in front of our eyes... I truly have no idea. So, long story short, at least two DoorDash orders have our sandwiches in them. We walked out. Don't recommend at all.

    I went to Jersey Mike's called in my order because I was driving and I couldn't order it and pay…read morefor it online at the moment and when I get there, I checked the orders and they're known for me on the little rack so I got in line because three workers were so into what they were doing and didn't ask anyone so I got the line had my scan thing already and then they finally got to me. I tried to get the guys attention, but nobody was paying attention out the three workers yesterday and I said I had a call order and my phone I put up the scan thing I put it down on the counter which I've never put my phone on the counter case so I don't forget it. She rang me up and I said did you scan my code and she said oh I've already rung it up now I said so that's it. You can't do it. She said no I don't even think she apologize. She was acting kind of new. I think all three of them were new. I tried to get their attention before that. Tell him I had to call in order but no, I stood in line like a dummy. Anyway, I was a little irritated, but then when I left, I started eating a sandwich before I even left the parking lot and the bread was falling apart, which means it was old. I had to throw the half a sandwich away I thought about calling them to complain, but I figured I'd get one of the three so what good was that gonna do so I don't know I don't know if I'm gonna go back. The sandwich was the worst sandwich from Jersey Mike's I've ever had and I've been to the one on 23rd St. in Panama City and this one kind of made me discuss an irritate with the whole place. It has very little meat on it and it was full of lettuce anyway it'll be a long time before I go back if I go back.
