Capt. Max’s Dockside Bar and Grill - Panama City (FL)

5 /5 Sheila Pownall Realtor, Real Broker LLC: The burger was very good. The hush puppies, shrimp, and salad was good. The slaw tasted liked they put sweet tarts in it. I love everyone slaw and I had to spit it out. Music was nice and it was an excellent breeze. Nice view and very relaxing. No real service. You order at the bar but we knew that before we came. Someone brings the food but you never see anyone again but it is more of a bar atmosphere so we were truly ok with that

5 /5 Darin Malloy: Review: Waterfront Vibes & Unmatched Flavor This restaurant-bar nails the perfect combo of laid-back vibes and top-tier bar food. With a killer view of the water, it’s the kind of place where you can sip craft cocktails as the sun sets and stay for a night of great bites and even better energy. The bar scene is lively without being overwhelming—think upbeat music, friendly bartenders, and a buzz of conversation that makes the place feel alive. The atmosphere is effortlessly cool, perfect for date nights, weekend hangs, or just winding down after work. Service is on point, and the food? Next-level for bar fare. From elevated classics to creative small plates, everything is packed with flavor and made with care. Pair it with a signature drink, and you’re golden. If youre after great views, chill vibes, and bar food that seriously delivers—this is your spot.

3 /5 Leslie Turner: Atmosphere is cool. Food was cooked properly but took 45 minutes to get it. There were 2 of us and we got there when they opened. Several things we wanted off the menu weren’t available, like mahi! The portion was tiny. (The basket it was served in was soup bowl size). I hadn’t had a bite when I took the photo. Service was very bland. Just dumped the food off at our table and walked off. I would not go back.

1 /5 Robert Benson: The food was awful. The tater tots were sweet potatoes which didn’t say that on menu. I had mahi basket and the mahi was not good. The tater tots were gross. Didn’t even eat the slaw. The hush puppy was good. My sister had the boom boom shrimp tacos and they were not good either. We will never go back there.
