Only one other couple was in the entire restaurant so they were not busy at all. After being seated, the employee had to go locate a waitress for us. The burger was awful and bland. The chili nachos had not enough chilli to even include chilli in the title. Coke was $3.89 a glass. Basically food and service suck. They have the place decorated with U.S. Military branch flags but DO NOT offer a military discount. We saw other customers get up an leave before ordering. I o not recommend this eatery.

This is one of our favorite burger spots when visiting 30A. When we arrived, it wasn't busy, and…read moreeveryone in our group was able to order easily at the kiosk. There were five separate orders, all placed around the same time. However, one couple's order took nearly 40 minutes, while the others received their food in about 20 minutes. When we noticed that guests who arrived after us were getting their food first, we asked about the delay. A staff member told us their order would be ready soon, but we then saw her take fries out of their bag and place them into someone else's order. At that point, I asked to speak with the manager. The manager, who was cooking, said the order would be out shortly, but we were never given a clear explanation as to why it took so much longer--especially since they ordered the same smash burger as others in our group. By the time their food arrived, everyone else had already finished eating. We've visited before when it was much busier and didn't have any issues, which made this experience surprising. The burgers we received on time were delicious, but the fries were not fresh. Overall, it just seemed like an off night, and unfortunately, the service didn't meet expectations.

This was the worst dining experience I've had in a while. I really wanted to like The Alibi, but it…read morewas just so bad, all the way around. In short: poor service, bad/cold food. Now allow me to elaborate. Our server could not have been less helpful with the menu. I asked about one of the wing sauces, and he said, "It's great. You'll love it." I appreciate the confidence, but I was hoping for a more insightful description. I asked a follow up, thinking maybe he just needed some direction. "Is it sweet? Spicy?" Again, he just said, "You'll love it." Maybe he'd never had it? Maybe it was his first shift? Not sure, but it was the weirdest exchange. Anyway, my boyfriend ordered wings. I ordered the mahi tacos. As soon as my tacos hit the table, I knew it was... not great. They were the most pathetic-looking tacos. Plenty of tortilla, not much else. I would've been embarrassed to let them leave my kitchen. At least bulk them up a little bit with an average serving of the tropical slaw? Btw, no idea what made it tropical. Just tasted like slaw. It only got worse when I took my first bite. Completely cold. The wings? Also cold. The tacos came with a side of chips and salsa too. The salsa tasted like it was straight out of a cheap can. It was gross. Our server never came to check on us, so we just ate our cold food, eventually flagged him for the check, paid and left. Additional context that feels relevant: there were only 2 other tables taken when we arrived, and I believe there were 3 people seated at the bar. It wasn't busy at all, so this was not an instance of falling short while trying to meet the demand of a lunch or dinner rush. That would've been more understandable. How do you serve cold food then go MIA as a server when there's barely anyone there? How do you manage tables when you're actually busy? There are so many amazing places to eat on the beach, including spots with great tacos and wings. Spend your money elsewhere. I truly could not recommend this place to anyone after my experience.

Like that one pair socks in your drawer you've had for 10 years, but never used. I just never did. Until last week. I was in PCB for the Sea Breeze Jazz festival, and was wandering around the parking lot, starving, dateless, and slightly lonely. And then I saw it. Whatever Five Guys version of the golden arches are, but I saw the red and was drawn to it like a mosquito on a bumping quest with the purple zapper light. I don't remember what I ordered. I just told the guy at the counter to give me something with 2 patties with everything on it, including bacon and cheese. It was delish. I sat outside on one of the tables with an umbrella. It started to rain. I should have been annoyed. Who wants to be caught in the rain during a jazz festival? But no. I wasn't. I was fixated on a delish smash burger, and pondering why the universe has kept this place from my palate all these years? It's an annoying mystery. Harmless, but annoying, like those hairs on your toes- I mean, what possible purpose do they serve? Anyway. I like this place. I'll definitely come back.

The regular fries size is enough for you and someone to certainly share, as they pour extra in the bag. You get a huge portion, so I always leave with a full stomach.

Great food, generous portions, and consistently a great experience-- this is one of my fav locations because they are usually very quick regardless of how busy they are. I also love how scenic it is here as it's in Pier Park which is always a lot of fun. The inside is also very clean, and the bathrooms are clean as well. I absolutely adore this location and they are always friendly. Also if you like peanuts, they have a ton there you can eat while you wait.

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.

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.

We left very happy and decided to come back again. Unfortunately, our second visit was a big disappointment. When we walked in around 4:30 PM, the sign at the door clearly mentioned Happy Hour from 2-5 PM. We ordered margaritas expecting the Happy Hour pricing, but we were charged full price. Even worse, the margarita tasted more like lemonade than an actual margarita there was barely any alcohol in it. I mentioned it to our waiter, and after speaking with the bartender, the response was basically that I could pay extra to add more alcohol. That's not acceptable for a $9+ drink that I couldn't even finish and left untouched on the table. Another issue was that our waiter didn't seem very knowledgeable about the menu and instead kept steering us toward more expensive options. I mentioned that I liked the crab cake, and instead of suggesting the Seafood Basket that already included great options, he recommended creating a "two-choice seafood" plate at essentially the same base price then added an extra $3 charge for the crab cake, making the meal unnecessarily more expensive. It's disappointing because we genuinely enjoyed our first experience there, but after the second visit, I don't think we'll be returning.
