This place is THE best. Gluten free options are nearly MOST or the menu. The menu is diverse. A lot of the food, to me, is delicious. We go there weekly mainly because of the staff. #1 Josh (bartender) is amazing. As are several of the servers. Absolutely worth the experience. The view is the cherry on top. read more

Overall, Harrison's was just okay--pretty mid-tier. Nothing that blew us away, but nothing terrible either. I ordered the burger with mac and cheese. The burger was pretty dry, and I wasn't a huge fan of the bun. The mac and cheese had a nice creamy texture but was very underseasoned--it just needed some salt and pepper to bring it together. The tuna dip was probably the highlight. It was really good, but the toasted bread that came with it tasted stale or maybe just over-toasted. The crackers were much better. I also had the Shell Island Sipper. It was a good, fruity drink and exactly what I expected--no complaints there. Overall, the food was decent, but nothing really stood out enough to make us eager to come back. Not bad, just average. read more

Came downtown to grab dinner but the place we intended to go was closed, and after checking other restaurants in the area, we ended up at Harrison's. We ate here on a Sunday night at 5:30 - half of the tables were empty. Our service was absolutely horrendous. We were seated for at least 15 minutes before we finally flagged down a waiter and asked them who our server was. After another 5 minutes, someone came to the table and gave us a lame excuse about our table being assigned to someone who had left earlier. They brought us our drinks, and then our appetizer - we got a burrata salad which was okay but nothing amazing. For advertising "sliced heirloom tomatoes" it was disappointing to receive a mix of cherry tomatoes. Even after the long wait to be greeted, it was also a very long time before the food was served. My food (blackened shrimp tacos) arrived lukewarm and was alright. My partner got the grouper imperial - he enjoyed the sauce but mentioned the rest of the dish was flavorless. My mother-in-law got the braised short ribs and was disappointed when her "roasted vegetables" arrived raw. Granted - they did give us a 20% discount because of the awful service, however knowing the service is so bad it has to be discounted without even saying anything is disheartening. Ironically enough, as we were getting up to leave, a table seated well before our departure was complaining about how nobody had been to their table to get their drink order and it had been a while. Ultimately, not worth the price for the food, and the service was bad enough that we will not be returning. read more

On vacay from Virginia and went here with family. Inside was beautiful and spacious. Right on the water. Menu was a bit confusing for me and wasn't really "wowed" by anything. Ordered the fried pickle chips, which were good. Also tried the fritters. Those were "not so much" when it came to taste. Our waiter, David was very attentive and very personable. It was a bit pricey for everything we got, but you live and learn. Beautiful bay view! read more

Great food, friendly service, and delicious drinks! Everything is fresh and the staff made it a wonderful experience. Will be back!

Food here was great. The food I ordered was the five piece chicken tender basket with sweet potatoes fries and an additional side of seasoned fries. Tenders were absolutely huge and got full by the third one, but since we on vacation I finished all five ( Lol) Service was great, the waitress kept checking on us. Ambiance was also great, we get to look out by the bay and eat read more

Food was good. I didn't love the sauce on the grouper bites (it was like an Asian inspired sauce) but fish inside was very flaky and soft. Tuna inside the tuna tacos was very good and fresh. Service was ok. They were very busy but did the best they could. The patio has a great view of the bay and cute furniture and outdoor area. Cute for a date night or place to grab a drink. read more

I had the pork chop with potatoes and brussels - very tasty!! The pork was cooked just right. I also had a side of the Mac and cheese- but I don't recommend it. Interior is very cute and you get to watch a lovely sunset. Also had an excellent server. Exciting to go here since their fryer is gluten free so my guest could select anything from the menu. read more

The only thing keeping this from being a one-star review is the beautiful waterfront location and the fact that one dish--our friend's CAB Filet--was actually good. Aside from that, our experience at Harrison Seafood and Bar was a letdown. Despite the restaurant not being full, it took over an hour from the time we placed our order to when the food finally arrived. By that point, everyone at the table was starving. What made it worse was the complete lack of communication--no one checked on us, no apology for the delay, and we had to track down our server just to get an update. I ordered the Seafood Platter and was surprised by how small it was, especially for the price. To top it off, the side dish didn't arrive until 10 minutes after the main plate was served. While the food wasn't terrible, it certainly wasn't anything special--and definitely not worth the cost. Before we left, we spoke with the manager. She did apologize for the poor service and offered a 10% discount. While we appreciated the gesture, it didn't come close to making up for the frustrating experience. Sadly, this visit left a bad taste in more ways than one. We don't plan to return and wouldn't recommend this place to others. read more

My server, Madelyn was great. Most of the staff are young college age people, all were very professional and friendly. The food is adequate nothing spectacular. The atmosphere is very beachy. Airy and open which give you a spacious view of the bay from all sides.

It's just not good. Beautiful place and a gorgeous view. That's what you're going for.

First night, had a great steak and service. Second night had a very "mid" level grouper fish tacos with Mac and cheese as the side. The Mac had little flavor if any and was very "limp". The tacos were kinda "mid" to be honest. I came back a second time due to the great steak the first night, hoping for the prime rib the second night but they were out. Disappointed enough in the second meal to not return for a third for anytime soon. read more

Harrison's Kitchen & Bar - Beautiful scenery, great place to get dinner at sunset - Southern Near Me - Panama City, Florida

I think it's time to upgrade the dishes, and I don't just mean the food. Seems like they're trying to over complicate the new menu to match their ridiculously high prices. Went in for a drink and a snack. The peach sangria ($14) was great, which is why they get 2 stars. The peel and eat shrimp appetizer left a lot to be desired though ($24) It was cooked correctly, the shrimp was not over or undercooked, they were quite large and the portion was just enough for two to share, but there wasn't much flavor (unless you consider butter a flavor). It was also meant to come with bread, which was missing, and I had to ask and wait a long time for cocktail sauce. The sweet potato fries were just ok ($7) and slightly overcooked. But the moscato ($12) was not chilled and tasted old and sour. Overall, the experience was very disappointing. It's my third time trying to give this place a chance but I was left with a sour taste in my mouth. With 30a pricing I'd expect more than chipped up cheap plastic dishes and a lukewarm experience. read more

We have tried Harrison's half a dozen times. It has so much potential and the views can't be beat but the service is very hit and miss and the food is mediocre time after time. Bring in a trainer, get some quality control, and get this restaurant to great. We want to support the place and come back but 6 times is not an off night. read more

We stopped in for lunch! Great aesthetic, good service, decent cocktails and grub. They get you with the views. We started with the tuna stack and it was good, albeit a bit dry (needs hot sauce and lemon). We tried out the Rosemary Black Lemonade and Strawberry Basil Mule which were both delicious and great size for the price. We ordered the shrimp and mahi tacos - splitting each. They have crinkle fries (sigh) for inquiring minds. Overall the food was good and the service was spectacular. If we came back with better weather I'd like happy hour out on the patio! read more

I find myself having to give praise where it's do. I don't leave my house looking for places to give a bad report. That being said, I really enjoy it when I can give positive feedback to an establishment. Harrison's just earned that respect. The location is on the pier in downtown Panama City and the view and ambience is stunning and worthy of visiting. I have been coming to PC for many years. I know quite a few local residents and they never mentioned Harrison. Me and my family were in town and looking for a good place to eat. I know several and we attempted to go to them but they were so backed up we opted to try some where else that was less crowded. My wife and my sister found Harrison's and I immediately called some of the people I know who live here. They all said the same thing I have never been there so I can't comment. Please let me know how it is if you go there. We did go and let me tell you they are on our list now and we will take all our family and friends there when they visit us. The restaurant is large and spacious both inside and out on the patio with beautiful views from all the seating. We were seated within 3 minutes because we did make reservations. Our waitress came out and greeted us shortly after we were seated. Might I inform you the place was busy and was catering 3 events at the same time. We placed our order and began to enjoy the ambience of our evening. Then things took a turn for the worst as our food was running considerably long even though we know they were very busy. That's when I asked for the manager our waitress went and delivered the message and then cam back to check on us and said the Mgr was on the way. Upon returning back to our table with food the waitress was followed by the Mgr who helped bring our food. He came and spoke to me and we step away from the table so they could began to eat. I explained to him what had happened. He did not give me the usual I'm sorry excuse we are so busy. He said please accept our apologies how can we make it right. It was at that moment I knew the experience was going to be great. He addressed the entire table and said please let me know if anything else was not to our liking and he would make it right. Everyone really enjoyed their meals and Josh the bartender made excellent drinks nothing turned out bad even though I was ready to give them some words for being late. The lateness was quickly forgotten and it ended up being our best night out for the entire week. I don't want to forget the cheery and happy attitude of our waitress (Junae) and the positive mental attitude of the manager (Keith) that made the experience exceptional. I did some research and found out that they did had some problems about 10 months ago but I am now a witness that they did Improvise, Adapt and Overcome and became a 5 star restaurant with a lot of hard work. I am happy to state that this is an outstanding restaurant. I highly recommend to all my family and friends who visit. In closing I would like to say the character of a business does not come from how many situations they find themselves in, it definitely comes from how they handle it, job well done Harrison,s. read more

Our service was horrible because the young man was too interested in speaking with his other table, then we ordered some tuna wonton tacos for an appetizer and when they came out, it was not even enough to be an appetizer for one person. Had the server told us that the serving sizes, mimic "Honey I shrunk the kids" we would have gone elsewhere because my 18 year-old son still has a big appetite. We then ordered a seafood dish with blackened grouper, scallops, and shrimp...... the grouper was so well done that it was hardly edible and the blackened seasoning was so incredibly overwhelming and salty that neither my son or I could stand it.....we drank tons of water to wash down the horrible food. With all that said our bill was still around $60 for absolutely nothing special. We will certainly never go back. read more

We tried this restaurant for lunch. It's a lovely place with a beautiful waterfront setting. Because the weather was beautiful, we sat outside. We began with their Old Fashioned drink, which was delicious. Then we got their Cobb salad, which was also great. We ordered their Blackstone chicken, which includes Griddled Chicken Breast, Peppers + Onions, Garlic Mayo, Provolone, Cajun, and Gambino. We also ordered their Fish Tacos, which include Gulf Fish of the Day, Grilled Corn Tortilla, Pico de Gallo, Cilantro Cabbage, Avocado, and Queso. Both entrees were delicious, and the service was excellent. Take a look at the food photos and views below. I'll definitely come back for the sunset views and dinner. read more

Harrison's Kitchen & Bar situated at the end of Harrison Ave, downtown Panama City right on the water with a relaxing view. For me the food in general was good with emphasis more on presentation than taste. I had the blackened shrimp tacos probably the only miss of all the food I had tasted. I felt the sum of all the inside of the taco was somewhat on the bland side and outer flour taco shell was unusually thought and chewy and had trouble biting through it. On the other hand other things that I had were very delicious, such as the Oyster Rockefeller, plump juicy oysters top with a nice spinach cheese mixture. Side of collards were also well prepare and seasoned perfectly. Service was friendly and good without the need for anything that was not taken care of immediately. Would recommend, especially if you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere with a view of the water and plenty of on site parking. read more

We sat at the bar, there was maybe 10 people total in the place and the bartender took a bit to get us a drink, she was nice, we ordered 1/2 dozen baked oysters and they had to be the smallest oysters I have ever seen served at a restaurant, unlike the ones we had at Dusty's a few nights ago, needless to say we decided not to eat dinner at this place and went down the road. I would think twice before making this the place for dinner. read more

First time here. Got the baked oysters and they were excellent, the presentation shows attention to detail, even had rock salt on the tray.

We were visibly Panama City and decided to check this restaurant out due to the rave reviews, and were blown away! The restaurant sits right next to the water, and due to the many windows and outdoor seating, the view is amazing from any place you sit. We got seated right away, and our waiter was incredible. He was able to answer all my questions about the gluten free options, so that I had a safe lunch. The mashed potatoes were garlicky and satisfying, while the mahi mahi sandwich was refreshing especially with the bit of pineapple on top. Overall an amazing experience, and something I definitely recommend especially those who have to eat gluten free! read more

We had dinner at Harrison's this past Friday and the food was great. I had the shrimp poor boy and it was quite delicious. I ordered a bloody mary and wasn't really too pleased with it; the mix used just doesn't compare to Charleston Bloody Mary mix; so that could have been better. Service was top notch. Our server did a fantastic job at taking care of us during our visit. read more

Food was amazing! New manager, Kiersten and Chef Leo have taken this place to the next level. 90% of the menu can be prepared Gluten free and there is a separate fryer available for customers with a shellfish allergy. Top it all off with a great server and an awesome view! read more

Service= amazing. Warm welcome. Sit at the bar. Brittney is excellent and incredibly attentive. Bar = great outdoor bar seating. It has a beautiful view and many TVs to watch your games--a decent selection of wine and other beverages. Beers on the draft were pretty decent. Just know that your drinks will be served in plastic glasses. Not a fan. Food = This is where the stars were lost. While the shrimp bangers were pretty amazing. Don't order the steak. It's probably one of the worst cuts of ribeye I have had in a long time. Mash potatoes were salty and paste-like, and the vegetables were not tasty. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Recommendation: drink the wine and beverages, look over the pier at sunset, enjoy the bartenders and company at the bar and the service, and order appetizers. Stick with the seafood. read more

Harrison's Kitchen & Bar - Shrimp Bangers - sweet slightly spicy. Great crunch and seasoning. - Southern Near Me - Panama City, Florida

5/24/25 great location, great ambiance, and great service. lots of gluten free options. this was our first time at this place so as we do with every first experience at a new restaurant, we order a few things off the menu to give them a fair shake. we started our dinner with a couple apps. baked oyster were pretty tasty, crab cakes were great and the plating was great! for our entrees we ordered shrimp and grits and the braised short ribs. the grits were bland and the shrimp were ok. the braised short ribs came with one short rib that i am convinced was actually chuck roast. it tasted like it wasn't seasoned at all! the entrees were very disappointing and we had such high hopes after we appreciated the apps so much. we didn't want to risk getting dessert after such a lack luster dinner so i can't speak on that. i do plan on giving it another try and i am hopeful for a better outcome. read more
