Great little place next to the gas station. I had the Cuban sandwich. It comes with fries and has a lot of meat in it and the bread is fresh and crispy! I also ordered a side of tostones. They are huge too! Ask for the mayo-ketchup to dip or smother them in. The only issue we had was that the yucca was cold... but we asked for them to heat it up and they accommodated us. Very nice staff. They also have a varied selection of desserts and drinks. read more

Not one of our favorites!!! the rice is very bland! the pork had A LOT of grissel! Much better I'm South Florida and Roanoke Virginia?

We wanted some Cuban or Panamanian food. Yelp had high marks for Concolon Panamanian Street Food Cafe, which was listed as in Panama, Florida. Wrong! After searching via the Waze app, we looked on Google, and it's in Panama, the country! So, we're already irritated, but no worries. Havana Night came to the rescue! So much that we ate there the following evening, too. Also, we asked some locals what they preferred getting from the menu. They all went with the dinner plate, your choice of chicken, beef, or pork with two sides for $13.99-$15.99. On both visits, we went with the chicken with black rice and black beans, a staple for most Cuban restaurants. Most importantly, the service was courteous and willing to explain any dishes. Their restrooms, tables, and floors were clean, too. It is a very well-run establishment. So, do not hesitate to eat here. On a side note, we had a conversation with another guest upon returning to our hotel. We asked him what he had in his plastic bag because of the pleasant smell. He mentioned a Mexican restaurant but quickly said the same about our take-out. When the wife replied, "It's from Havana Night," he promptly gasped and replied, "Oh wow, that's wild. I had that for lunch with some co-workers here for business. We plan on going back. It's just a hole-in-the-wall place next to a gas station, but it's so good. read more

Second time ordering food from Havana nights. I was craving Cuban food & wasn't in the mood to cook so I had Uber eats delivered. Authentic Cuban food. I had lechón asado & arroz con frijoles negro. (Pork, white rice and black beans) the pork was very tender and the mojo flavoring was perfect. They even served it with a couple pieces of the crispy skin!! I've also had their Cuban coffee and it's fantastic. Staff is very welcoming, it reminds me of being back in Miami. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. Only negative when I ordered on Uber eats I ordered red beans and I got black beans. Maybe they ran out... thankfully they were delicious but maybe a call or a note would of be nice. read more

Wanted to add one more note to this exceptional restaurant! (I keep going back for more and in fact have sent three wonderful couples there for date nights!) it is to mention the treats!!! There is nothing I love more than a good coconut cake or tres leche! Well they have them both! I forgot to ask if they were made on site but it was so good I have to assume yes! Add dessert for later, you won't regret it! read more

10/10 I recommend this place so much. We went last year and decided to go again this year and the food, environment, service never disappoints. The young lady who attended us today is such a sweetheart. The food is spectacular alongside the desserts. I haven't tried Cuban food before this restaurant and this place always eats. I recommend the oxtail and all of the rices. Inside is such a great atmosphere. We love this place!! read more

Do not recommend. Maybeeeee it was just a bad night for them. But doubt I'll give it another try. The tostones were inedible!!! I took a bite of two different ones; thinking maybe just that one is bad... nope. Both were terrible. The rice was over cooked/dry. The chicken was okay- but not special. I had to cover the food in hot sauce just to eat it. The server behind the counter was nice. However, not really helpful when asking what the best dishes are. Just said whatever you prefer. But I assume he eats the food there, and I love personal recommendations. Hindsight, that wasn't a good sign and I should have left. Also - BRING CASH, or at least be aware they CHARGE a fee to use a CC. And while I know that's not a huge deal, it would have been nice to know. I had cash, and would have gladly used it had he informed me he was going to charge me extra. Unfortunately for him, that CC fee was the tip I was planning to give him. I let him know he should notify customers, and he said he thought every place that accepted CC's charged a fee. He's either a liar, or he doesn't go to restaurants or a grocery store or any other facility that accepts a CC. ***Again, I understand if you cannot cover those fees and need to charge, but warn a customer and give them the opportunity to pay another way to avoid the unnecessary fees.*** I would not recommend this place. Not for the food or the customer service. read more

Havana Night - Baked chicken, rice and tostones - Cuban Near Me - Panama City, Florida

I was at the gas station one night and seen they were open and stopped in and i was not disappointed! Very delicious and flavorful food! It's served mostly cafeteria style aside from the Cubans and empanadas. Plates come with one meat two sides I usually get the ropa veja with congris and sweet plantains but every thing i have tried here has been great. The empanadas really tasty and they also have a beautiful desert selection. Don't miss out and over look this spot definitely give it a try! read more

I never leave bad reviews, but I waited an hour for my food-- and maybe it was because their online order system was screwed up? I ordered a mango smoothie, empanadas, croquettas and a few other things. The only thing that was good was the mango smoothie and empanadas but not after an hour of waiting! Maybe I have really high standards for Cuban food cos I LOVE Miami Cuban food--but you cannot find that anywhere north of Fort Lauderdale I guess. read more

I have eaten ate Havana Nights 5 times now. I grew up in the Key West/Miami area and have been enjoying Cuban cuisine for decades. I have ordered 3 different entrees through my visits. Ropa Vieja, picadillo and a traditional Cuban sandwich. The Ropa Vieja is outstanding. I highly recommend it. I have had the picadillo twice, it's okay. It lacks some flavor and for ground beef is chunky, needs to be ground up more. Their Cuban is good and could be the best in PC, but I've only had it once. Their sides are good, mixed beans and rice, white rice and black beans, yucca, plantains have been very good. I still haven't picked up a a cafe con leche yet. The restaurant has seating is decent. The staff is friendly. Again, I grew up on this food eating it daily from home cooked meals, mom and pop shops and nice restaurants in south Florida. I will continue to go to Havana Nights and recommend them! read more

10/10! Some of the best food we've had in Panama City! You absolutely have to try it out... I have had Cuban food at the best of the best in Miami and this place is KILLING IT! Best Cuban food I've had! Clean place, amazing service. Highly recommend! read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND While the restaurant's menu promised a variety of tasty options, we were really disappointed when we discovered that many of the items that we wanted were not available. For example, they didn't had any type of soup, spaghetti or pizza (even tho it was on the menu). We also wanted to try some tequeños but we found a box of frozen Goya tequeños in the back while waiting so we decided to pass on that. I wanted to get some churros and we had to wait 30 minutes for that even tho we were the only ones there ($5 for an order of 4). When we finally got our order of churros they were cold and rock solid which tells me that they forgot about us. I won't be coming back. read more

Havana Night - Churros - Cuban Near Me - Panama City, Florida

I've had Cubanos from all over Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, the Keys...so I'm a snob when it comes to sandwiches. This one is just so-so. The bread is just ok, the pork was dry, not enough cheese, not enough ham, not enough pickles. There was way too much pulled pork compared to the rest of the ingredients, the sandwich didn't have a good balance. Its passable, but I wouldn't get the Cubano here again. read more

THANK YOU FOR BEING IN PC!!! This place is amazing! The food! The people! It is my new favorite spot in PC. It is a must destination if you love delicious food. The empanadas, the Media Noche, The Cuban, seriously everything. You can get it to go or eat in, there's plenty of room to eat in and relax. There also plenty parking. I'll update with pics later! Don't wait, go get some! Support Local!!! read more

oh cariño, necesitaba esto And I mean it. Real, old school Cuban maniac meat magic. This place delivers the goods. Now the service and the wait times, not so good. But they aren't get it in a raft and paddle for Florida bad. But the food, it was so good it had me looking at cheap cover of darkness unsanctioned travel arrangements... It is cafeteria style - pick what you want Latin deliciousness. The best Cuban in the panhandle. Oh and I love home style joints attached to gas stations. They are almost always legit. With better service and wait times it would be a 5.... read more

Was visiting the area & wanted something different. Havana Night is next to a gas station but don't let that stop you. Most dishes are on a line right in front of you so you don't wait at all. I got oxtail with black rice & sweet plantains. With a handmade mango juice, it was $23 but there is enough food for 2-3 people! It's super fresh & yummy. The best black rice I've ever had! read more

I really wanted to love this place but they have disappointed me twice now. First time was a takeaway order of a Cuban sandwich. It was just a ham and cheese sandwich. No mustard, no pulled pork. not even a good ham sandwich. Literally nothing like a Cuban. Second time was almost as bad. I ordered the Pan Con Lechon and I received a dry, pork sandwich with only pork and lettuce on stale bread. Sorry but I'll not be back. read more

We need to try this place again as we came a few days following the opening. Waitress, while pleasant, was uninformed about the menu.

AMAZING pollo empapadas! We only got 3 and 1 croquette ham The empanada we ordered 2 had to go up and get a 3rd It was so good Coffee was so hot it burned my tongue so wait a little and take the lid off before sipping. read more

Cuban sandwich was HUGE. Came with fries for $11.99. All made fresh to order. Several juice flavors on tap. You can dine in or carry out. There are about 10 tables inside. You order first and then seat yourself. There is a small stage area but it wasn't being used on a Sunday afternoo. n read more

This place is the real deal plus they have Cuban pastries too! Service was friendly as well.

Don't let looks deceive you! This place is authentic and legit as it gets for Cuban cuisine. The atmosphere is new, clean, friendly, bilingual (both English and Spanish speaking) and authentically Cuban in looks, aroma, sounds, visuals and amazing tasty flavors! What I have tried thus far: - Cafe con leche (Coffee with milk) 5/5 !! - MUST TRY - Croquetas de Jamón (Ham croquettes) 2.5/5 Smaller than expected, tasted older. - Cuban sandwich 5/5!! HUGE, flavorful. Would recommend to most! - Pan con cróqueta de jamón 3/5! Tasty over, but the croquetas were underwhelming. See above. The one knock I had was service was on the slower side but it was on a slow Sunday. I felt it could have been faster. Also, they ran out of ham croquettes and instead of offering to see if I could wait a little longer to make some more they just offered chicken croquettes instead. It is a new establishment in the PC area so it's growing pains that I am sure will get ironed out. Definitely going back! Next on the list to try, is the Cuban Picadillio, congris and plátano maduró frito! Go check this place out and bring the family! read more

The food is so flavorful and delicious. I had the empanadas and they were so savory and yummy. Nice crispy shell and smooth aioli for dipping. Really creamy and yummy and wasn't overly cilantro forward. We had the best service too. The makeover made for a very warm and inviting atmosphere. Great first impression. We will be back. read more

The pork was dry with little to no spices. Beans and rice were good, as were the plantains. Two of us dined and our food came out 15 minutes apart. The man who took our order acted as if we were bothering him. The totally forgot our drinks, but when we finally got our Cuban cooler it was good. I feel the cost was to much for the poor quality of the food. read more

This place is awesome! Food is fresh. Oxtail. Pork. Beef. Whole fish. Plantains. Yucca. Fresh orange juice. Cafe con leche. Cuban sandwich. The bakery goods were incredibly enticing.

Food was terrible and over priced, had high hopes but it was a let down. Don't waste your money, I can make better Cuban food at home.

Great food, good service. Definitely will be going again. It's great to have some food other than fried seafood in the area

Coming from a Cuban American, the food is as authentic as it gets. The ownership went above and beyond. Even helping with a special order for my daughter's first birthday celebration. They made an amazing guava cake, bocaditos, pastelitos and croquetas. If you are in Panama City, and want some amazing Cuban food, it's a must visit! read more
