We tried out Oceans Restaurant while in PBC. I ordered the lobster tails and my wife ordered the crab legs and both were delicious. We started with the crab cakes for an appetizer which were great. Our waitress was amazing. We will be eating here again in the future. read more

We had a group of 13 in our group for 630. Table was waiting when we arrived. There was only one waiter. For the whole place. She held it down though! The staff was great. The food was good. I had Mahi with coconut the ice and brocolini The mahi was over cooked a little but the favor was there. I loved the rice. Hubs had the rissito and clam chowder. He did not like the chowder. Rissota was fabulous he said. Every meal was enjoyed and no boxes were needed and nothing left on plates. Drinks were good too! read more

Omg! This place could be on the Gordon Ramsey show! We paid waaaay too much money for frozen Walmart food. We were looking forward to some good local food and it was Such a disappointment! read more

Customer service was top tier. But the food was 5/10. New york strip was impossible to chew and 50% fat. And the seafood platter i got seemed like it was a few days old. Also felt like we got catfished. The restaurant seems super nice and fancy but it's more like a old diner, with nice table decor. read more

Our first night of vacation and we decided to eat out. Found this place just down from our condo which was bustling but not crowded and there was no wait to get seated. Immediately the wonderful smell greets you as you open the door and we were taken straight to our table. Nice decor inside and lots of televisions if you want to watch the game too. read more

I feel really bad for the manager of this restaurant as well as the staff. Saturday night and empty restaurant really should have told me all I needed to know. I tried to order a cocktail, no bartender. I tried to order the conch bites, I was brought conch chowder and told they had no conch. For what they charge for the food here the plates were skimpy. Flavors were terrible and the seafood tastes like it was purchased at Walmart. Out of 5 meals order only two were eaten fully. And we're still being charged for food we didn't even eat. I'm not a dine and dash kind of person but I was tempted to just walk out. No clue how this place is still in business. This was supposed to be my daughter's birthday dinner and we're all just disappointed and disgusted with this food. read more

Came in for a Wednesday dinner with my husband and everything was wonderful. The staff were very friendly and accommodating! The bartender made excellent drinks, I had a mojito and my husband had a delicious lemon drop martini. The fried shrimp was cooked to perfection and the blackened Mahi was worth getting again! We highly recommend read more

The ambiance of this amazing restaurant outside is pretty plain, but the inside is family friendly! I loved all theme and decorations inside. It is clean! We were greeted right away.

This place was the highlight of our trip. The restaurant is tastefully and modest. The food is amazing. We loved everything from the grilled chicken Cesar salad to the seafood platter and steamed fish dish over broccolini and whipped potatoes. The flavors were so good my kids asked if we could go back. The service was great. Some locals were recommending places that were touristy. This place is not and we ended up letting the locals know that they were missing out by not trying this place. So great! read more

Really good seafood. Love the coconut rice. Nice people. Service on the slow side. Not fancy, but clean and did not have to wait for a table, probably bc it is fairly new. The have conch fritters, which is a rare find. read more

Oceans is the real deal! It is directly across the street from Race City. Don't let the unassuming exterior fool you. This place is top tier. The interior is very well decorated and super clean. We ended up eating out back which was also clean and had cool lights once it got dark. The wait staff was superb. We had multiple people check in on us during our dinner. They were all very friendly. Our primary waitress was so friendly and made a point to cater to my kids. They had a blast. The food was easily the best we have had in PCB. The complementary roll and bang bang shrimp were really good. The honey garlic wings appetizer was absolutely fantastic. For the main course, my wife got some really flavorful ahi tuna. I got the Gulf Paradise entree with grouper, shrimp, and scallops on top of divine cheese grits and with a side of perfectly seasoned and cooked asparagus. It was the best seafood I've ever had. Even my kids' Mac and cheese was above average. It was home made and very creamy. Please please please stop by and support Oceans. I'll be there anytime I'm in PCB from now on! read more

Mediocre at best. Went in with high expectations. 2 dishes were ok. One was horrible. Best dish was the risotto. Although there is more parmesan in real risotto. Snapper was ok. The Oceans dish was just awful. Shrimp was over cooked and SALTY. The scallops were overcooked SALTY hockey pucks. Asparagus was similarly overcooked mushed. Service was ok - not great. Especially with only 1 or 2 other tables. Server couldn't remember anything. read more

Terrible service. Over an hour for mediocre food, weird music, and expensive prices. No clue why this has 4 stars on Yelp. horrible cover music of top pop hits. I am writing this to warn other customers! read more

I'm telling y'all this is the BEST food in PCB. We saved this spot for our last night in town and boy oh boy are we glad we did! I had the shrimp Alfredo with a cluster of crab legs and the server was so kind, he brought me and my sister a second cluster at no charge. Now the crab... I have had it at a lot of places and if you eat crab legs you know they all pretty much taste the same, but THESE BAD BOYS. wow! They seasoned them so good that the flavor wasn't just on the outside, it was on the inside where the meat is. I don't know that I've ever been blown away at crab legs before until now. Our servers name was Omrick was so sweet. We had the best time. They treated us like family. I recommend this place. It was clean on the inside with good lightning. The atmosphere is good. It's your standard restaurant dining but the food and the service is impeccable. Mom got the twin lobster tails meal, and my sister got the ribeye (OUTSTANDING)! If you all need a good place to eat, please come here! The food is phenomenal. A++ read more

Good food and great service. No lines which is great in the summer. Clean and nice ambiance.

The service, drinks, and food were absolutely amazing. Travis was phenomenal with service and was attentive to our large table. Outdoor seating was nice and secluded, we will be coming back! read more

We walked in and were sat immediately. Everything looked brand new, giving a very fresh clean appearance. The server was very courteous. I'm not a seafood lover, but my wife is. She was very pleased with her Gulf Paradise. The seafood was really fresh, but she really loved the garlic cream sauce. She said that it complimented all three different types of seafood really well. My ribeye steak was cooked just as I ordered, and was seasoned perfectly. The wine sauce was a perfect touch to bring out the flavor of the steak. The garlic mashed potatoes were amazing, as was the asparagus. Our bar drinks were as to be expected, not too strong or too weak. We left pleasantly full and not overly stuffed. We probably would have if we would have gotten dessert. Over all a great find and wish we lived closer to make this one of our frequent places! read more

vanessa was our server and she was amazing and provided us tremendous service. Food was delicious following up from a well balanced cocktail that definitely reminded me of the beach vibe they were aiming for: I believe the name of the bartender was Travis. definitely will be returning best pina colada I have had and that's coming from a women from Vegas! read more

I have never done a review before but this was the best food we have ever had down in PCB, all of the staff was very kind and accommodating. Our food had a gourmet taste to it that was defiantly cooked from scratch. I was expecting typical beach food when we arrived since that's how everything is down here but the quality here far surpassed my expectations. Either the manager or owner came by our table and every table to check if everything was okay and it was perfect. We will be back soon probably even on this trip. Thank you to the staff for such a great experience. read more

It's been open for about 2 weeks, and it was really good! I had the Grilled Mahi with coconut rice, broccoli, and remoulade sauce! Was not disappointed!! Also had a Tequila Sunrise that hit hella nice!! Good drink selection, though I wish they had more beers, but if wine and mixed drinks are more your thing this is the place! Wait staff was friendly and quick. Please try this place so it stays open! I like it here!! And I'm picky! Ambiance, it's nice as well! read more

Food was very good. Some portions were small. Service was quick and attentive. The atmosphere is fresh, neat and clean. A modern nautical, if simplified theme. Fairly limited menu. One steak, a ribeye $36, crab cake app is $19 for two 3" cakes about 1/2" thick. Sides are $7.00!! Each. Grilled Snapper $26 was tasty, if small. Accompanied by coconut rice and very good green beans. Drink prices $9up. They do offer local and military discounts. read more

Food and drinks were great but service was awful. There were three waiters and not a single one of them knew what was going on. Took over 10 minutes to get water, 20 to get our drinks and food wasn't long after. We had a few small requests for condiments (ketchup, bbq, and pickles) and took an absurd amount of time for those. Bill also took way too long. I hate writing bad reviews but holy smokes there was no pep in their step. The atmosphere was pretty good, plenty of tvs with different games. read more

Service was excellent. Very new modern look. Steamed fish was outstanding highly recommend.

Calamari was under cooked and chewy . Waited over 1 hr for food. Server never took dirty dishes. Kept coming by asking if we needed anything even though we had no food. Dropped off 1 entree out of 4 and asked if we needed anything else. Place has the ambiance of a subway sandwich place. Fish and shrimp were ok. Rice was cold. My son's kids meal steak looked and taste processed/ microwaved. Horrible dining experience read more

Ate there last night staff was friendly but food was terrible!!! Got honey garlic wings, chicken sandwich, and my gf got a ribeye steak and a lobster tail and we both thought it was bad.

We just had a wonderful experience at Ocean's. We wemre greeted so nicely at the door by Trevor who seated us promptly and got our drink order. Vanessa came and welcomed us and took our food order. We shared the Bang Bang Shrimp and the Gulf Paradise plate. The shrimp were perfectly cooked and seasoned along with the best bang bang sauce. The mahi, shrimp and diver scallops were grilled perfectly with yummy coconut rice, asparagus and a delicious sauce. We were very happy with the attractive dinning room, friendly staff and yummy food.!! read more
