Runaway Island - Panama City Beach (FL)

5 /5 Sharma Himanshu (Himan): We had dinner here during our trip to Panama City Beach and had a really enjoyable experience overall. The ambience was excellent beautifully decorated with a cozy holiday feel, making it a great place to sit back, relax, and enjoy the evening. The atmosphere alone sets a very positive tone. We ordered popcorn shrimp with fries for our daughter. At first glance, I honestly thought it might be just average, but once our food arrived, that assumption quickly changed. The food was delicious. We tried the flounder topped with buttered shrimp and the blackened mahi-mahi tacos, and both dishes were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. Even our daughter loved the food we ordered, which says a lot! The prices are on the higher side, as clearly mentioned on the menu, but the quality and taste of the food made it worth it. We also tried a couple of cocktails from the menu—those weren’t our favorite—but the food more than made up for it. Overall, this is definitely a place where families and groups can relax, enjoy great food, and soak in a wonderful atmosphere. We’d happily come back for the food again.

3 /5 Faincy 1: After a rainy day we decided to check out this ocean front restaurant. We dined outside but under a tent that ensured we wouldn’t get wet from the rain. It’s was a beautiful view. The food was pretty good. I highly recommend the spinach dip with pita points. It was the highlight of the meal.I ordered the chicken piccata off the $12 lunch menu and we both liked it. Hubby ordered the fish and shrimp basket off of the $12 lunch menu. As far as the staff, our waitress looked sad the whole time and was very slow. We asked for ranch twice for my fries and never received it. All in all the food was good… just not a very good waitress. Maybe she was having a bad day.

5 /5 Nathan McGuire: Awesome in every way! Best blackened chicken tacos Ive ever had! Red beans and rice were wonderful and the atmosphere and location are unbeatable!! Well be back before heading home from vacation!!

3 /5 Aja Ben: Our server was nice, and we made it just before sunset. It’s definitely worth the view because that is essentially what you’re paying for. The food was okay, but the oysters I received were the worst I’ve ever tried and I was raised in the area. Super dry and the cheese was so hard that I couldn’t get through it to the oyster with the little plastic utensil they give you for them. I ate two of them and left the rest. There was literally no moisture left inside of the shell. I took the salmon pesto bowl to go and the pesto sauce was the star. Serving portions are pretty small. Pictures of the oysters for your enjoyment.

5 /5 DaVetteMan “1fastgaboi”: First time here definitely wont be the last!! World class raw oysters would be an understatement. Service from Brie and the manager Carl was borderline breathtaking. This is a must visit when you get to P.C.B!! Prices were amazing and the kids loved it. Super chill vibe.
