We visited for lunch and unfortunately the experience started off on the wrong foot. Our waitress…read moreseemed very unenthusiastic, and when we asked for the draft beer menu, she didn't provide the full list. The one beer we actually wanted (which we later found out *was* available) was never offered to us. We ended up returning later that evening since we were staying at the hotel and didn't feel like going elsewhere--and things didn't improve. The bartender was clearly overwhelmed, but also very disengaged. He barely acknowledged us, avoided eye contact, and it took multiple attempts just to get his attention for drinks. It wasn't just us--service across the bar was extremely slow. Orders were taking a long time, and at one point a guest waited over two hours for a pizza because it was never entered until they reminded him. Someone else eventually stepped in to "help," but instead of improving things, she came across as rude and unhelpful--frequently deflecting customers back to the already overwhelmed bartender. For example, she refused to take drink orders or assist customers with open tabs, which only added to the confusion and delays. Overall, the staff seemed unhappy, disengaged, and like they didn't want to be there--which really showed in the level of service. Disappointing experience, especially for a place connected to a hotel where guests rely on convenience.

My husband and I visited Runaway Island for the first time for our dinner in PCB. I had seen people…read morerecommend it on Tik Tok and locals post about this restaurant, and I'm glad we tried it! We came around 5pm and were seated quickly. If you come with a large party they have a ton of space and even saw large groups get seated quickly during this time frame. Our food was excellent! My husband ordered the special of a pork chop on a bed of grits and ordered a side of hush puppies. I ordered the Carribean chicken, and it was excellent! Everything was cooked perfectly and seasoned well! We know it's called "Runaway Island", but we didn't know our waiter had "runaway". We waited for 10 minutes without being seen- we had to flag down someone to find out who was serving our table- then our waiter was "found". He was almost non existent during our dinner service and took 10-15 minutes to get our drinks ( 2 waters and a Diet Coke). (We also ordered our food right away since we had time to look at the menu while we were waiting) our food order was put in a timely manner and came out timely, so that was good! Other than our waiter, we loved the food and would come back again.

My burger said it came with arugula and when i got it, there were green leaves but they were very much so cilantro.. not arugula. 5) The burger patties were dry as hell.
