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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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!

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

There are a lot of advertisements for Schooners which can sometimes be a bad sign however this spot…read morewas one of our favorites from our trip to PCB. Tons of parking (large lot across the street, smaller lot right in front and another just around the corner) local vibe, friendly staff, great food and even better views. If the views are super important to you, ask for a high top table. Our low top was near the back door so we could easily see out but I could see where your view could be obstructed from other spots. Happy to continue to support this local business!

If you are looking for the ultimate Panama City Beach experience, Schooners is the place to be. There is just something about the atmosphere here. It is open, airy, and very laid back. There was a slight wait to be seated and there were people already waiting. They told us 15-20 minutes, but sat us in about 7 minutes. When we entered the restaurant, I was disappointed to see half the place with open tables, and wondered why they told us 15-20 minutes. Very weird. A little disconnected here. We were seated and our server was quick to meet us. We ordered drinks and the following apps: Loco Shrimp $13.00 Deep-fried shrimp tossed in sweet chili buffalo sauce served with celery & bleu cheese dressing or ranch; Loco Wings $9.00 Crisp & juicy... The perfect hangover cure or perfect anytime, tossed in sweet chili buffalo sauce, served with celery & bleu cheese dressing or ranch; Smoked Tuna Dip $15.00 Served with tortilla chips & sliced jalapeños; and Fried Founder Bites $12.00 Golden fried founder bites served with tartar sauce. For Entrees, we ordered The Flounder Tacos, Bacon Blue Salad, Chicken Fingers, East End Fish Tacos, and Jerked Chicken Sandwich. We also had sides of fries and hush puppies (they were the perfect level of sweet, savory, and a fresh crunch.) The sodas and teas were all free refills. Everything we ordered came out cooked perfectly...to my liking. The buffalo sauce was a little tame for my taste. The Flounder tasted a bit "fishy" but still good nonetheless. The Jerked Chicken was the winner for me. It was cooked perfectly, well but juicy. I added bacon and it just was the "icing on the cake." Would definitely recommend and will absolutely be back.

We have found out that American Charlie has a new owner so we decided to try them out. We were…read morepleasantly surprised at the new changes and the food was extremely good. The first thing I noticed is that they scaled the menu back which was a blessing. I remember before that you had to read a book to get through the menu before. The new menu has a great variety of items and I didn't miss anything that they might have had before. The restaurant itself is fun. Lots of memorabilia on the walls but not in a claustrophobic way. Tables are nice and clean and the bar is beautiful. Everyone looked like they were having a good time. Our food server was nice, friendly and talked to us like we were regulars (loved that). We started out with drinks and we had the Sangria, and a couple of their signature cocktails that I can't remember the names. All were very refreshing. Food: We started out with quite a few appetizers: Coconut Shrimp: Great big shrimps, coating was perfect but I would use a tad more coconut (IMO). Tuna Dip: Wonderful smokey flavor and tasted really fresh and came with homemade chips. Pimento Dip: Oh my gosh it was delicious. I didn't even want to try this one but one of the people in our party likes pimento, so we did. It was sooooo good. I found out it has 4 different cheeses in it and it also comes with the homemade chips. Onion Rings: These onion rings were in the perfect batter. They were not greasy but they were crunchy and they used great tasting onions. I remember the previous onion rings being so thick and greasy I was so happy with the new version. We also had the Spinach Artichoke Dip and once again it was very tasty. Entrees: Pot Roast: So delicious!!! Tender pot roast and it came on a bed of mashed potatoes and cooked carrots and onions and I think celery. The gravy was delicious and they gave you plenty of it. Steak: It was a pretty big steak and very tender. Hubs gave it a 4 out of a 5. Baked potato was loaded and could have fed a family of 4. Catfish Basket: I had never had catfish before and I nibbled on our friend's entree and it was really really good. I give this place a 5 out of a 5 and we WILL be back.

Where we were seated was on the top balcony where we had a beautiful view of the bay. Our service was very intentional with our occasion in mind, we were even served a praline dessert on the house!

He was friendly, helpful, and accomplished. He made some helpful suggestions and made sure that we enjoyed our evening from start to finish. We had a nice table, but there are a handful of small booths that sit across from the oyster bar and have no view at all, so I'd request something near the water when you make your reservation (something I highly recommend.) We chose the calamari for our appetizer and it was simply delicious!!! It was so good we hated to stop eating it so we didn't run out of room for our entrees! I had the grouper piccata, grouper perfectly cooked to flaky goodness, on top of some savory spinach and tasty mashed potatoes. My husband ordered the prime rib which was a generous portion, served with mashed potatoes and green beans. Delicious! I wish they offered a baked potato and some sort of bread. They have hush puppies but they are not complimentary. Small details but would be much appreciated. Hunter said he had a surprise for us and brought a complimentary dessert for us to share! Such a nice touch! (Again, since it was our anniversary.) it was their praline bowl with fresh fruit, ice cream, and a bit of chocolate sauce. Again, soooo good! I highly recommend Grand Marlin. Parking is plentiful, service is excellent and the food is top notch. Dinner begins at 3 and they also have a Sunday brunch. Enjoy! And ask for Hunter. He's an exceptional server!
