    LOVE THIS RESTRAINT!!! The waitress was SO nice and was very fast and efficient! The food was SO good I got Alfredo with shrimp and it was cooked to perfection!!! The ambiance was very nice the lobby to wait was really cool and the dining experience was amazing!! I would come back here so many times and it was well worth the money!! Our waitress showed us the desert plate and it was so good! Would go back!!

    Amazing meal in the back ground

    This restaurant was AMAZING. W ahi tuna as you can see in the picture. Sure there was a wait but the lobby is so cool there's so much history in that room it's pretty much a museum. The waiters and service were stellar and are waiter was very polite and showed us the desert plate. 5 STARS!!!!!

    Calamari

    There were four in our party and we had heard that the restaurant was quite an "experience." Indeed it is. Our server Iesha was very attentive and considerate--keeping me away from anything with onions in it. I ordered a shareable appetizer--calamari, which had both marinara and a "volcanic" sauces with it. I thought the calamari was a bit overcooked but the sauces were tasty. There were very large cheesy rolls and they were delicious. I got bay scallops, my daughter ordered ceviche, and our dining partners ordered shrimp platters. My daughter also ordered a coffee-flavored cocktail, which was delicious. All of us enjoyed our meals. There's a gift store with beautiful glasswork and jewelry, and other gifts, and a pastry shop! Lots of marine/fishing decor!! A very enjoyable "experience"!

    I cannot say enough good things about Anderson's! Sat right away in this HUGE restaurant. There was so much to see and it was a cool ambiance!! Jeedo was our waiter and he was knowledgeable about the menu and we started with the crab soup and a Greek salad. Both were exceptionally great!!! I got the mahi mahi while my husband got the scamp. We got the baked potato and they bring hushpuppies! All of it was EXCELLENT!!! Kudos to the chef! It was so good and well worth the price! Our waiter was attentive and kept our drinks filled! Highly recommend!! Thanks Jeedo for a great experience!!

    I had a nice family dinner at Captain Anderson's this week. I'm local -- I've been coming to Captain Anderson's for at least 10 years. We always come back because the food is pretty good. It is what you would expect from an upscale seafood restaurant in Panama City Beach. We were a bit surprised (and I seemed to have forgotten about) the plethora of surcharges they added to their menu. Changing sides was a surcharge. The advertised prices were cash-only.... credit card use was a 3.5% surcharge. Sharing food was a $3 surcharge. It really minimized our experience.

    The wait was very long but the experience was worth it. Dining room is beautiful with great views of the boats in the marina. Our sever Ashley S was wonderful. Food was good, but not the best seafood I've had in the area in the area. Complimentary bread was very delicious- hard coat on the outside and soft on the inside. Calamari was good, not too crispy. Grouper imperial was tasty, as well as the jumbo shrimp. I enjoyed our experience!

    This is still one of my favorite restaurants to go to in PCB. I've been coming here since 2015, and eat here every time we come down. You will have to wait a little bit because they don't take reservations; however, they move pretty fast. We had about a 15 minute wait on our most recent trip. Their bread service is really good. They give you a basket of fresh warm fluffy rolls. I ordered the grouper imperial, which is my normal go to. I upgraded my soup to the she crab soup. I was too full for dessert this time, but we didn't leave disappointed. They also bring out a heaping plate of hush puppies with every meal for the table.

    I recommend upgrading to the wedge salad with ranch dressing. Nothing "special" but delicious!

    How is the lobster and what size?

    I know I'm a little late, but the lobster is sizable, but not too much to finish in one sitting. I didn't have any leftovers, personally.

    It's now "2023.. have they started taking reservations?

    No. They likely never will since it's been over 40 years.

    Do they have call ahead seating?

    No not that i know of. Get there when the doors first open and you should get in there pretty quickly. Just make sure your whole party is together before walking up to the hostess or the will make you wait till everyone is together.

    Do they take reservations?!

    They do not take reservations, it's first-come, first-serve

    Will they fry Mahi Mahi if I ask or does it only come charcoal broiled?

    They will fry anthing

    Wow, great place! We are camped across the street and walked over Friday evening for drinks…read more Despite the inside being packed, we found space at the bar and enjoyed chatting with our stool neighbors about local things to do, places to eat, and so on. Very attentive bartender. I looked up their website and found they have daily specials, and on Sunday it's shrimp and grits. My husband HAD to have it. We ventured over this morning right at 11:00 and sat ourselves at a high top near the bar. Our server Morgan came by promptly. Their version of shrimp and grits is unlike any you have had before. Very rich and mildly spicy cream/cheese sauce with shrimp, grits, spinach, mushrooms, and okra. The sauce was made with smoked gouda. Huge portion but he ate it all. I got a grilled grouper sandwich. Absolutely delicious. Morgan was delightful and talked with us about her career plans. She was covering the entire indoor area during our visit so she was really running. We can hear the music from our campsite, but they pull the plug at 9:00 pm so it's not too noisy late. I did not find any other review for the shrimp and grits so I wanted to be sure to post this and a photo.
