Long wait But the food is worth it Very small restaurant though Very good food Love the country feel read more

Great food. Great views. Just had a airboat ride and came next door and had a late lunch

True rich southern cooking is served up with a smile here. While you wait there are a lot of souvenir and novelty gifts to browse and purchase for yourself or as gifts. This place fills up quickly so there might be a wait at busy peak season. Portions are big so I always bring home leftovers. I usually order some type of seafood. read more

It was absolutely amazing! I loved the grilled cheese there mmm... I felt safe and relaxed in there! Really looking forward to go back there when I'm older! The service was amazing! And the atmosphere felt great! So cozy and relaxed in there! Thank you for making my night. read more

We've been to Panama City quite a few times and this place is as good as anywhere we've ever eaten. The food was top notch and very authentic. Marsha served us and was absolutely terrific. We will be coming back here for now on every time we come back to PC. read more

Boon Docks Restaurant - Kids chicken meal. Fresh fried!! - Seafood Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

We ate at Boon Docks for the first time on Mother's Day. The atmosphere is fantastic, very laid back and plenty to walk around and look at both in the gift shop and outside at the docks while we waited for our table. Everyone made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in the door. The server, Danielle, was professional, friendly, and efficient. The food was fantastic! Everything was well timed, appetizers came out right away and we got our salad before the meal with plenty of time to finish them. The food was all fresh and seasoned well. I had the 10oz Ribeye and I would absolutely order it again, it was a well cut steak and the seasonings are fantastic. This was our first time at Boon Docks, but it won't be our last! My family agrees it needs to go on our list of favorite places to eat in PCB! read more

Great old style Florida restaurant. Great service. Very good food, clean, with old Florida atmosphere. Ten minutes north of Panama City Beach right under West Bay bridge on the West Bay intercostal waterway. Seafood was very good with excellent sides. Four people can eat with a few beers for approximately $100 not counting tip. I got the fried shrimp and oysters with green beans and cheesy grits. It was all fresh and tasty. Hush puppies are home made not the hard frozen kind. Has some merchandise you can buy if you have to take something home for the kids or grand kids. read more

We stopped in during lunch break. What a lovely little spot. The service was quick and friendly. The food was delicious and interesting: I had a gator po-boy. We watched dolphins the entire time. The maze to get inside was a bit odd, but with the quick service, it was quaint. read more

Boon Docks Restaurant - Beautiful view from the dining room. - Seafood Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Perfect location ! Beautiful views & yummy food .. a wide variety of a menu !!! Give it a try

Honestly.... It was just ok. We had a recommendation from friends and decided to tryout Boon docks. The place is cute - very rustic. The food was so-so and overpriced for what you got. The service was terrible - our server treated us like we were a big burden to her. We asked questions and got rolled eyes and big sighs for answers. Very unimpressive and we were only a party of 4. read more

Disappointing....! Food took forever... Service did not exist... Bring your own drink... after your waitress leaves, never see her again!

Hose to try this restaurant on our way into PCB. First time to visit and will definitely be back. We opted to eat at the counter/bar and were seated immediately. Had the pickles (great starter) and had the blackened redfish and my wife had the crab cakes. The food was great and they service was fantastic. For dessert, we had a piece of the coconut pie which was delicious. The counter is in the old part of the restaurant and has the ambience of a local food place. I can't speak for the other eating areas, but admit that the immediate seating in the original restaurant added to our enjoyment of the restaurant, but the place had a great beach vibe and would definitely recommend it. read more

Kacia was a wonderful server. She was personal and helpful as this was our first time eating here. The grilled fish was delicious and came with grilled onions and peppers. I don't usually use tartar sauce but decided to try the homemade tartar sauce . It was thick added flavor to the fish. Save room for the homemade key lime pie. It was delicious! read more

The staff if excellent and friendly and very attentive. The food was just average in my opinion and here's why. The crab cakes smelled really fishy so I didn't eat them. I was talked into ordering the Filet (steak) and i was super disappointed. It had no seasoning and had a very strange taste to it, I should have just ordered the burger, not to mention the cost! The Margaritas were wonderful and the different choices were perfect. The view was awesome and the Pelicans were everywhere. All in all it's probably great for fried seafood and burgers. Keep in mind this is my opinion and I also don't eat seafood but the group I was with did, so we went. You might check it out and decide for yourself. read more

Everyone's meal was amazing! The atmosphere is the best one of all the places we tried on our vacation. The setting on the bay with the beautiful moss-covered trees is wonderful! read more

Boon Docks Restaurant - Fried Shrimp - Seafood Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

In an ocean of pricey and tony seafood restaurants, Boon Docks was the antithesis of them, offering a genuine Gulf Coast experience, priced right as well. Our food was delicious and worth the wait for a table read more

One of my favorite seafood places in PCB. Definitely a hidden gem. A place where the locals eat some of the freshest seafood

Wonderful! Appetizer, entrée, service, and atmosphere was great! Will make this a dinner destination every visit to Panama going forward!

Took a while to get a table, as with any tourist trap, and the service was good once we got a table. Food was good but portions were pretty lackluster for a seafood place like this. Expensive for what the portions were - see my picture of six fried shrimp on my shrimp po' boy. read more

Can't believe I lived here for 17 years and just made it to Boon Docks. It's a little tricky to find, but well worth it. Started off with a Bloody Mary and draft chaser. It was very good. Service was fast and the young man was very friendly. I was impressed at how young he was and knew the menu inside and out. Ambiance is perfect. Food was delicious and very reasonable. We went on a Saturday afternoon and had no problem getting a table. Definitely will return. read more

Like having lunch with your neighbor who's a really amazing cook, and I mean like had their own YouTube channel good. Everyone was pleased: wife the health nut, daughter the picky eater (got chicken tenders), and all the rest of us. Portions are generous. Value is great. Server was friendly. Weakest offering was the onion rings (3 stars). Everything else 4 stars including the key lime pie. read more

Boondocks is always a "must" every year we visit PCB! The food and service is amazing. My personal favs. are the smoked tuna dip, crab cakes, fried fish, snow crab claws, and the hush puppies. Do yourself a favor and go for an early dinner during the summer months or you'll be waiting for hours! read more

DO NOT GO!! Parking is a nightmare and staff was less than helpful when we got blocked in. Doesn't have an intercom, didnt offer to find the people, was only after we attempted to get out ourselves for 20+ mins in the rain and me threatening to call the cops did they finally help. Stay far away and for the staff thats reading this.. have the day you deserve i hope a hurricane wipes that place into the ocean read more

This place is INCREDIBLE!! The food is amazing. We have never had a bad meal here and the servers are always top notch and that means personality wise also! Do yourself a favor and get there early or lines form quickly. There's some gifts available also, so if you do have to wait for a table later on...you can entertain yourself. read more

Close to home and always very good. View from dining room is awesome with layed back country style. Highly recommend.

The place is super neat. It's literally down in the boondocks and up against a body of water. It's older-looking buildings that they've so well hinged together. Super neat setting. I think it must be the kind of place where it's better to get something fried rather than not. I got the Tile Fish...and it was way overcooked. Wasn't nearly good enough for what I paid for it. The baked potato, slaw, and hushpuppies were good though. Also the Peanut Butter Pie is like a fluff pie. Not my thing, but some folks might like it. read more

What a gem we found! I never knew this place existed! We got in fast on Fourth of July weekend! They have live music also! Great views! It was like sitting in a cabana! Food was hot and fresh! Service was wonderful! We had fresh seafood and it was sooo good! I would definitely be back again! Highly recommend! read more
