We brought a crew of nine people! Brook was our server and she was fantastic! Every meal was perfect. Fish was delicious!!! As locals we are fish snobs- but this place delivers!! The triple tail was amazing!!! We will be back! read more

We recently tried Deckhand Social and overall had a good experience. The location is great and we appreciated the local discount they offer. The menu, however, felt a little lacking in originality with a lot of the same typical beach-style items you find elsewhere. The flatbread was just okay, and while the chicken sandwich was a very large portion, it lacked flavor and definitely could have used some BBQ sauce or another sauce option to elevate it. The mahi tacos were good, but the portion of mahi inside was on the smaller side. Overall, it's a solid spot with a great atmosphere and location, but there are other local restaurants nearby that serve food just as good -- if not better. read more

The food is good, but why the devious upcharge for credit cards? Then try to make us think you're doing us a favor to pay cash. You guys can do better. read more

Fun spot. The vibe is honestly the best part--super nice inside, and the outdoor area is amazing with a built-in pool you can actually swim in. Food was good. I had the shrimp fettuccine Alfredo--tasted fine, but I wish the sauce was thicker and a little more rich. It gave kinda grocery store Alfredo, not bad just not wow. Service was good too, our waiter was attentive and on it. I'd def come back for the atmosphere alone, it's a good time. read more

Overrated. Asked to be sat outside and we were told no because we had 4 people. Then four people came in behind us - right behind us - and were seated outside. Will never go back! Poor service. So loud inside. I was sat right at a door and a bathroom. Absolutely awful and the food was meh. Total pass. read more

Had an early dinner and ordered the shrimp tacos. So very good and the service was amazing.

Tried the deck hand social club and it did not disappoint. Went for drinks and appetizers and my wife had the hurricane and I had the oyster city brown ale. We got the grouper bites which were crispy fried absolutely tender and flaky as you would expect. The bluestone crab claws we got. Sautéed and they were delicious. We had never had the crab claws before and they are well worth it. Our server Andrew was extremely nice and took well care of us. We rounded out our meal with a Keylime pie, which was absolutely delicious. Well worth the time and money to go to this establishment. we sat outside by the pool edge, and it was a beautiful view of the bay. read more

We couldn't check into our hotel early so we tried to find somewhere dog friendly we could eat at to kill time -- This place was close by & allowed us to bring our dog inside and to the outdoor patio! There were multiple other dogs there as well, so that was great! My complaint is that it was Friday at 2 pm and pretty busy outside and they had one bartender. It took about 35 minutes to get a menu and put in a drink order, and if you needed anything else (drink refill, silverware, etc.) you had to track down the bartender and wait your turn. Now I will say the bartender was so kind and absolutely doing his best! The extremely delayed and poor service was NOT his fault; that is on management for scheduling one employee to work the patio on a spring break Friday afternoon! We eventually saw another employee who we asked to get us water with no ice and he asked if it was for our dog-- when he returned he brought a bowl for her, which is just a little extra step he didn't have to take but was extremely nice! The food was average bar food, the burger was pretty good & the chicken sandwich was a little bland.. there was no mayo or anything on it so I got a side of jalapeño ranch! read more

We have been visiting Deckhand Social for the last three years and have eaten here multiple times on every trip. Unfortunately, our most recent experience was so disappointing that we will not be returning. When we arrived, we were told the wait would be about 20 minutes and that we would receive a text message when our table was ready. We sat directly outside the entrance and waited. After 30 minutes, we checked in and were told our table still wasn't ready. During that time, we watched several parties who arrived after us get seated before us. At around the 45-minute mark, a staff member came outside and asked another waiting party if they were ready to be seated because the restaurant's texting system wasn't working. We immediately checked back in and were told their system wasn't working. Instead of acknowledging that this may have caused us to be skipped, staff repeatedly insisted they had texted us multiple times. They attempted to reset the system and send another text, which still never arrived. Rather than addressing the issue, the interaction became accusatory, as though we were being blamed for a problem with their own system. The situation became much worse when my mother calmly mentioned that we felt we may have been skipped over. Dustin immediately escalated the conversation. His first response was, "You can go somewhere else." He began slamming his hands on the counter, arguing with us, interrupting every attempt to explain what we meant, and refusing to let anyone speak. We repeatedly tried to clarify that our concern was simply that the malfunctioning system may have caused us to lose our place in line. When we asked to speak with a manager, Dustin ignored the request and continued yelling. Eventually, he shouted that he was the owner and then kicked our family out of the restaurant. What made this especially upsetting was that we had two very young children with us who were frightened and crying by the end of the encounter. In all of our years dining out, we have never experienced such hostile, aggressive, and unprofessional behavior from a restaurant owner. We left without eating, and two other waiting families left as well after witnessing the way we were treated. After reading other reviews, it appears this is not an isolated incident. There are numerous complaints mentioning Dustin's behavior. It's unfortunate because the restaurant itself has potential, but customer loyalty can only go so far when guests are treated with disrespect. After years of supporting this business, we were shocked to be treated this way and cannot recommend Deckhand Social to others. read more

Nachos were amazing! Lively atmosphere, nice staff. Very expensive... be prepared to spend a lot!! read more

Came to eat dinner and I asked to order off the kids menu due to a medical condition and was refused. Then my boyfriend got his shrimp and it tasted off. The waiter came by and asked if we wanted refills so of course we said yes. When we finally got our check we noticed that they changed us for the refills without even telling us! WTF??? Who charges for refills? McDonald's doesn't even do that! the check was close to $100 for mediocre food. Needless to say we will not be back. read more

It's such a cool location it's too bad the food is so terrible. Chilled shrimp were mushy. Fried shrimp were overcooked. Collards were sweet and gross. Fresh veggies were boiled and tasteless. Not going back. read more

We had a group of 8 for their weekend brunch on Father's Day. The service was fantastic. We were seated immediately. They offered a free beer for all fathers. We all got something different and everyone loved the food. I had Crab Cakes Benedict it was very good. My wife said her Creole Crab Cake Omelet was very good as well. We will be back. read more

Stopped in for a late lunch/early dinner on our way back from a day trip toDestin. Our male server was absolutely excellent Very attentive . And the food was some of the best that I had on my vacation to the Foley/Orange Beach. I would go there again on my next trip to Foley /Orange Beach. It is well worth the drive to Pensacola for a great meal.. Catherine . Indianapolis. read more

Great restaurant in panama city beach with a wide variety of menu items to choose from. Would definitely recommend this place to family/friends. The inside is nice as well as the outside seating. The chicken on my chicken sandwhich was cut very thin which is my favorite! read more

We were looking for a light dinner in a dog friendly restaurant and stopped here based on their previous reviews. We sat outside near the pool with live music that was nice and not overpowering. The staff were very nice and accommodating to our dog. Our server, Sam, was great. She was friendly and attentive. We had the she crab soup and a mahi Caesar salad. Both were very good with ample portions. A seafood pasta to go was enjoyed by our daughter, who joined us later. The creole sauce was delicious. read more

Great food. Saturday night was a bit crowded but loved the pool and live music. Great stop on during our boat ride. Amazing views and even got to see dolphins on the way there. Beer and food at the bar was awesome. Will be back soon. read more

As someone that spends a great deal of time in PCB i was extremely disappointed. First of all our server was new and was not able to properly answer questions nor did she volunteer to get someone that could. There were three of us at the table and not one of us enjoyed our meal. Really tasted more like a microwave dinner than anything close to fresh seafood. Will not be back! read more

Food was below average. Grilled shrimp, brussel sprouts and potatoes. Sausage queso and chips for appetizer. Not very clean. However the setting is great. Waitress was good. read more

Met 2 other couples for dinner Friday night and we all enjoyed our meals. I had the special the Fajita Taco's and they were outstanding. My husband had the Blackened Redfish with grits and loved them! Our friend had the Ribeye and cleaned his plate with 2 thumbs up! Service was friendly and excellent along with a great atmosphere no better place to have a fun night out! read more

We've been to this restaurant a few times with our neighbor. He brings his own fish to cook so they do do a good job on that but it is almost never the amount of fish that we've given to them that we get back. It's already cleaned but I'm sure they're helping themselves to some. The service is hit and miss most of the time. It gets busy and they get overwhelmed but even when it's not that busy it's still just doesn't seem to flow like it should. Prices are high for portion sizes. You do get a pretty nice view out back watching the boats unload or the shipyard put them in and out of the water. There is a pool out back and a bar that services that area. read more

Always great service and great food! Benefits of being a local with the locals card! Love the outdoor music and pool.

This cool little spot located at the Treasure Island Marina is located bayside and offers shady, dog friendly seating out by the bar. There's a pool, if you happen to be wearing your swimsuit and want to enjoy a dip, and a big, poolside TV for the sports fans. I ordered the shrimp tacos, which were super tasty, and swapped out my fries for a good side salad. Service was attentive. Post meal, we enjoyed a stroll along the lower lagoon, where long docks stretch out into the water. read more

My wife and I tried this place out while on vacation. We were disappointed in the out come. The service was very nice. The establishment was nice as well. Yet, the only thing we agreed on that was a 10/10. Were their Honey Garlic Shrimp appetizer. read more

I'm not going to beat around the deck, first things first, I love what they did with the place! The former Sisters of the Sea has been brought back to life with a fresh new and contemporary look, including plenty of screens for the big game and a new wraparound bar for just hanging out or partaking in a happy hour (or two). As an added bonus, the covered, outdoor patio with spacious, upgraded bench-style seating provides a comfortable outside dining experience for those wanting a little fresh sea air. The staff was also friendly and accommodating, which always starts things off right. But what about the food? Three of us went for lunch and although the food was decent, it was a little pricey for what we got (especially for lunch). The portions are small to average, but didn't lack flavor. We ordered Social Dip, Fettuccine Alfredo, a Shrimp Basket and the Grouper Sandwich with two waters and an iced tea. Our bill before tip was $98, which isn't bad, but doesn't really lend itself to becoming a regular lunch spot if you know what I mean. However, nobody complained about what they ordered and everyone was satisfied, so TDS gets points for that. To be fair, they do offer several options. I'm told they even have a football menu during games that offers some other additional tasty bites and might be a little easier on the wallet, but for me Deckhand appears to be a little too overpriced for just being social. read more

Everything about Deckhand Social is amazing...the atmosphere, food and service are all superb!

What a fun place. It has a relaxed beach vibe with two outdoor seating areas and a tiki style bar all overlooking the bay, palm trees and a boat marina. We went for Sunday brunch with $7 mimosas. Riley, our server, served us well providing descriptions of some of their unique and delicious dishes. All pictured meals were generous, fresh and tasty. read more

Very good food and great ambiance. Live music while we were there and pool outside adds to the vibe. Hostess was slightly rude but other than that great experience. read more

It was surprisingly slow for a brunch. The prime rib special on Sunday was a lot of food but outstanding.

I logged onto the "join our waitlist" was told I was 4th in line. When we arrived said they didn't have us on the list and not taking any other reservations. It was 6:45!! This is unacceptable!! There were LOTS of empty tables!!! read more

My girlfriend and I chose The Deckhand Social in Panama City Beach for brunch during my last weekend before welcoming my first child. As someone pregnant, I simply wanted a good meal and a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, what we received was the complete opposite. We ordered steak and eggs medium and upgraded to filets. While I didn't expect steakhouse quality, I did expect a properly cooked medium steak. My girlfriend's steak came out perfectly. Mine was severely overcooked -- no pink whatsoever and difficult to cut. We both work in the service industry, so we know what medium looks like. When I politely asked the bartender if it looked medium to her, she immediately agreed it was not and took it to the back. I had no issue waiting for it to be corrected. Instead, she returned saying the manager was asking if I wanted something else. No -- I simply wanted my steak cooked correctly with fresh, hot sides. When the manager, Dustin, came out, the situation escalated unnecessarily. He repeatedly insisted that what I received was their version of medium. Medium is a standard temperature everywhere. As my girlfriend calmly advocated for my meal to be remade, he became loud, erratic, and unprofessional -- raising his voice in the middle of the restaurant, putting his hands in our faces, refusing to remake the food, and ultimately telling us to leave. In all of our years working in the service industry -- and as someone who manages myself -- I have never witnessed such poor conflict resolution. The appropriate response would have been simple: remake the plate and ensure the customer leaves satisfied. We were fully prepared to pay full price. Money was never the issue. What made this even more disturbing was how targeted and uncomfortable the interaction felt. We were the only Black customers there, and the way we were treated felt like racial profiling. It was disgraceful, hostile, and deeply disappointing. I would never return to this establishment, and I would not recommend it -- especially to people of color. No one deserves to be treated with that level of disrespect over a meal that could have easily been corrected. read more

We had a delightful waitress, so no complaints with the service, but I ordered the seafood nachos! Nachos topped with shrimp, crabmeat, jalapeños and cheese! It came with a small packet of sour cream and salsa! For $28, it was a huge pile of chips, cheese and VERY LITTLE shrimp/crabmeat! Literally had to hunt for the meat! It was the least desirable item that our party of four ordered! Very disappointed! Will not be going back to Deckhand Social! read more

Very quick and friendly service on the patio area. I had the Key West Mahi which was cooked nicely and tasted great. It was rather hot but the patio fans helped out. We'd definitely recommend this place- watching the marina move the boats is interesting too. Oh, and the Key Lime Pie is great! read more
