One of our favorite restaurants in PCB. As always the Fried Southern Catfish was awesome along with hushpuppies and Coleslaw. Everytime we come here we say next time we will share because the servings are huge. We forgot & left with 3 to go boxes. Our friend got Red Beans & Rice and said it was delicious also. For the first time we sat in the back " dinner" section. I must say I like the lunch section better. It felt a little tight back there but lots of tv's. I have to give a shout out to our server Dalton. He was excellent. Stayed right on top of things and was very accommodating. read more

Solid choice for boiled pots of seafood! We chose mild seasoning for our Steamed Pot w Crab Legs, Shrimp, Sausage, Corn-on-the-Cob, Potatos, and even (2) Boiled Eggs! Filled both of us up! High marks for my Dinner Salad as well; the croutons were perfect (not too hard to spear w a fork). Sweet Tea was good, service was good. Key Lime Pie was average. Lower marks on the ETOH; cheaper brands of liquor killed the flavor. But def worth a visit! read more

Good, but not Great. Honestly, a little disappointed. Between 3 & 4 stars. Nothing was bad, per se. We ordered a crab cake dinner and a fried seafood platter. The crab cakes were good, but did feel a little "mushy" and could have used a touch more creole or Old Bay type of seasoning. The collard greens were also good. The fried platter had a good assortment of shrimp, oysters, mini crab cakes, and flounder. Again, a little more seasoning would have really helped here, but it was all cooked well enough. Hush puppies were good. Fries really were not flavorful. They should do a better job on these. Service was good, not great, like everything else. I had just hoped to be "wowed@ read more

It's in a strip mall but it is totally worth a visit. The crab cakes are great, and service is even better. It's a little hole in the wall vibe, but we love that. read more

We went here for lunch after a morning at Shell Island. Service was fantastic, food was amazing and totally hit the spot. I have four children: 12, 9, 6, and 6. The kids menu specifies eight and under, but they totally all four could have done a kids menu as the food portions were huge. my husband had the shrimp Poboy and I had the fish tacos. All of the food was extremely fresh. We also ordered the jalapeño tuna dip for an appetizer and loved it so much we got extra to bring home to the group we are vacationing with. Definitely recommend! read more

We came by on a Monday evening over spring break around 7:45, they were able to seat us pretty quickly. We were however at our table for 20 minutes before getting our waters - our appetizer was 50% gone before she realized she never brought them. We had the red beans and rice, étouffée, fried shrimp, blackened mahi tacos, tuna dip, a low boil, gumbo, and oysters. The blackened tacos, low boil and tuna dip were by far the "bests" of the table. Prices seemed pretty standard and the portions were large. read more

There's very few restaurants that offer gluten free options in PCB. I got GF fried grouper sandwich on a gf bun! It was DELICIOUS!!! Family of 5 and everyone left full and happy with plenty of leftovers. I'm so mad it took me so long to try this place! read more

Great smoked tuna dip! As fast as they can be and casual. Definitely the best priced seafood of them all!!!!! We made happy hour which is daily!!!! read more

Dee's Hang Out - BEST smoked tuna dip I've ever had! Great crab legs. Pro tip if you only want the crab get 2 clusters for $17.99. - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Went for lunch. Ordered the low boil and a 1/2 pound of snow crab Ordered the spicy shrimp appetizer. The flavors of the food was good. The breading on the shrimp appetizer was thick and heavy, took away from the taste sauce they have on them. It was little shrimp with a lot of sauce, the portion was big, half is breading. The low boil was good, boiled shrimp, red baby potatos, corn and sausage with a lot of Cajun seasoning sprinkled on it. Portion was decent for the price. As for the crab legs they were dry, so maybe they steamed them to long. The crab meat stuck to the shells so they were difficult to eat. Service was good and the place was clean. I would not recommend this place until I give it another try but I probably will not. It was not busy. read more

I stopped by earlier today for lunch. Since it was Mother's Day, my wife requested a seafood restaurant, and after checking Yelp, I found Dee's Hang Out. Our kids didn't want seafood, so we opted for takeout and ordered online through their website, which uses Popmenu. Initially, the site estimated a 30-45 minute wait, but once the order was confirmed, it was adjusted to 30 minutes. Just 14 minutes later, I received an email letting me know it was ready. Fortunately, the restaurant was only about five minutes from where we were staying, so I headed over. Since it was takeout, all I really saw of the restaurant was the hostess station and the bar area where my food was waiting. Altogether, I spent maybe a minute inside. For lunch, I decided to go with one of their specials: a fried green tomato and catfish sandwich. My wife chose the shrimp and grits. I ordered my catfish blackened and substituted cheesy grits for the potato chips for an extra $1. The first thing I noticed when opening the to-go box was the care taken in packing it. The fried items weren't covered up, the vegetables were in a separate container, and the remoulade was packaged separately as well. As for the taste, I really enjoyed my meal. The bun was buttered and toasted, the fried green tomatoes added a nice acidity, and the blackening spices were flavorful. Everything was tied together perfectly by the remoulade, which was creamy with a bit of tang. My wife enjoyed her shrimp and grits, and I was impressed by the generous amount of bacon on top. The bottom line for me is that I would come back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed our meals and would love to try more of what they have to offer. read more

First of all, our server Erika was amazing. She was very attentive and made sure that we enjoyed our dining experience. I initially got the catfish étouffée, a side of fried shrimp, and a side of collard greens. Although the greens, fish, and shrimp were delicious, I didn't really care for the etouffee. She swapped out the etouffee for fish with a side of gumbo. I was pleased. I ate some and had enough to eat later on that evening and some for lunch the next day. I will be back the next time I visit PCB. read more

Steam pot crab is to die for, service was excellent, it's more restaurant like than bar like.

Stopped by this place while on vacation. The food was delicious and the service was great. Plus, they had a great Playlist of soulful music playing in the background (not too loud).... the kind that make you bop your head, tap your feet, or rock side to side while eating some good ol', flavorful seafood. read more

My cousin ordered a massive amount of food from here via Uber eats during our weekend vacation. It was about a 30 minute drive from our Airbnb but when we arrived, they had everything neatly packed and organized and ready to go; three bags full of food. Sadly I took no pictures ‍ The crab legs were good, but the sauce was not it. It tasted heavy on Old Bay (or something similar), and I think a simpler butter base would've worked better. That's just my personal preference, though several family members agreed it wasn't their favorite. The hush puppies also are a miss. A hush puppy typically has a crispy outer layer and a soft, airy buttery, inside. These hush puppies were very dense so it was like eating a ball of cornbread without the crispy layer or much flavor. Traditionally, hush puppies fried in fish grease have that distinctive taste, but these fell flat. On the brighter side, the red beans and rice were tasty, and the smoked tuna dip was excellent, just a little too salty. Next time if they lay off the salt, it would be phenomenal. We also had some fried pickles and fried shrimp. Both of those were good choices as well. But again, the fried shrimp were a bit salty. They may benefit from revisiting their seasoning and adjusting it to be less salty. Perhaps it was just a bad day and someone dumped a little too much salt in the batter. Overall, we were pleased we just had so many crab legs left over because we over ordered. Lol Sorry I didn't capture any photos. We were starving! read more

Very sad experience. One random thing among others - rice was inedible because we were told it was made in the morning. If you're looking for Cajun, go to the Big easy - much better and cheaper! read more

If you want seasoned food this is restaurant is not for you. The food was very bland. The waitress was nice but the food just wasn't what I thought it would be. The oysters are not freshly shucked, they're put in a fridge until someone orders them from what I was told. The She crab soup and fried green tomatoes were actually good. read more

Staff were very nice and bar in the back. Also there were table by the stage just for waiting, no ordering or eating there. They also have seating outside, not many were outside though. Especially with the heat. Food was okay. I order steak and cheese due yo I don't eat seafood. It was okay. A little salty for me. Actually 3 of us ordered steak and cheese My friend ordered oysters and really enjoyed them. That was the best thing per her. Crab legs were okay and not crisp a little too soft like its microwaved and not much taste. Someone else ordered tacos and enjoyed. Depending on what you want it could be decent. Its also in a shopping center with a lot of other food places. So any wait at any of the restaurants could easily be 30 min wait. Kinga was our waitress and she was really nice and polite. Thank you for serving us. read more

Absolutely phenomenal! The food was amazing !!! We had the mahi mahi, red fish, the oyster medley, the trio dip with the two different smoked tuna dips and pimento cheese dip, and the popcorn shrimp. Everything was so good. I highly reccomend this place! Our server Robert was so great, helpful and fast. We never needed for anything. They have live music too and its not too loud. Its the perfect place! read more

Great food and service I recommend best in the area fresh food great tuna dip........................

Wow, this place is a must go to!! I can see why this place was already full when I got here but was able to catch a seat at the bar. Well lit with tv's to view and music playing in the background. So I got "The Steam Pot" and let me tell you it's just like in the photo on the menu!! Everyone likes to say #1 of crab but you get one cluster, not this place. I got three clusters and a full #1/2 of shrimp as well as 2eggs & corn on the Cobb, and sausage and a good amount of potatoes. Well worth the price of this meal. Did not take a picture of my meal cause you literally just have to look at the pic on the menu. read more

Dee's Hang Out - Fried chicken lunch - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Dee's Hang Out is located in Shoppes at Edgewater shopping complex. We came here for an early dinner on a Tuesday. Thankfully, it wasn't extremely crowded. The hostess was very friendly and got us seated quickly. Our server was prompt in filling our drink orders and answering any questions we had about the menu, prior to ordering. We started with calamari and it was perfectly fried. I also ordered a cup of seafood gumbo. This gumbo is amazing!!! My nephew ordered blackened fish tacos w/t fries, my niece had catfish etouffeè and I had a dozen baked oysters. These were our main dishes and we enjoyed them for the most part. The entrees were nice portions. I didn't love my oysters. I think mainly because there was just toooo much cheese for me. I should have ordered 1/2 dozen because honestly, I got full from the appetizers. The ambiance here is comfortable. There are TVs present. The name of the restaurant is fitting because it feels like you are just hanging out grabbing a bite to eat. On the to go side they offer fresh seafood for purchase to make seafood boils. I would come here again as the food and customer service were both satisfactory. read more

My wife and I came down to Panama City for a long weekend to enjoy food, sun and sand. Started looking for some seafood and Dee's was close and had good reviews so we went. The first night I had Mahi Mahi with the most delicious Creole tomato butter sauce. The fish was dry but the sauce saved the day. I believe with the volume they are doing the fish just gets cooked too fast. My wife had 1# of snow crab legs and they were cooked well with good flavor. The second night I had Redfish with that same Creole sauce. Again the fish was dry. Made me sad because both Mahi and Redfish are NOT dry when cooked properly. Wife had the crab legs again and enjoyed them. The atmosphere is fun - not over stimulating with stuff everywhere but tastefully done and clean. The service the first night was superb. Our server had a great personality and was very attentive. Night two was not bad service but we got spoiled on night one. Overall I'd go back as the review clearly shows. The food is good, prices are fair, and service is good. Nothing GREAT but good. In the early part of the off season it was good to have a good choice that made us want to go back. I'll order something besides fish if I go back. read more

Great seafood spot! We arrived around 6:45 during peak dinner hours on a Sunday night. They quoted us a wait time of 1.5 hours and since it's vacation season & everywhere seemed to be packed, we decided to wait it out. Good thing we did! They had us seated within 40 minutes and the food was well worth the wait. As a family of four, we ordered a variety of platters. The blackened redfish and the grilled mahi mahi special were both fresh and fantastic! My son has fried shrimp, which he loved and my non-seafood-eating daughter had the fried chicken sandwich. She loved it and I snuck a bite & agree that it was very good. Crispy, fresh & very delicious. We had the hush puppies appetizer while we waited for our entrees. We've eaten at seafood places all week for dinner in PCB & these hush puppies were hands down the BEST in town. Would go back to Dee's just for the hush puppies alone. Fantastic, fresh seafood. Consistent service. We'll definitely eat here again when we're back in town. read more
