   This place is WAY under staffed. Food was mediocre, service was way too slow for as few people that were actually dining there. Stick with sandwiches and avoid the entrees.

   The crab claws and entrees were very good! The food came out quickly. We did not have to wait.

   The staff was wonderful and parts of the food was good. The fettuccine Alfredo I had was delicious. My wife’s black beans and rice and hush puppies were good. However, her blackened mahi was extremely dry and overdone and the vegetable medley was under cooked. Additionally, the male bathroom was trashed with paper towels that were littered all over the floor as well as in and around the sink.

   Have been to Destin location and had good experience. Went to the Panama City location this time and the server was not attentive and several food items were over cooked (shrimp, snow crab). Reggae rolls, hush puppies, burger and blackened grouper were good. Was there for a birthday dinner that was never acknowledged.

   Cold Food! $40 entree and it was cold and flavorless. $6.99 to add a house salad. Way over priced for the quality. Had much better dinner at Saltwater and add in salad was only $4!

    For a beach restaurant they need to lower the AC. At best it was 74-75 in there. That might be fine for your living room but after being out in the hot Fl sun it should be a little cooler. Our server was good but the kitchen staff messed up the order. It was ok but not worth the price.

    We’ve eaten at Pompano Joe’s in Destin and enjoyed it a lot. So, our experience in Panama City Beach was very disappointing. Food was mediocre, service was ok but not many smiling faces there, price was exorbitant for what we got. I was looking forward to great Mahi-mahi and seafood and left truly unsatisfied. Sorry but we will not be back.

    Not a great experience at all. We were immediately asked to order the moment we sat down and the whole time our server rushed us to order, legit came back to ask us our order 3 times in 10 minutes. Our server seemed to just want us finished for our tip, brought the check before the food even came out. The food was definitely overpriced for the quality. It’s definitely a tourist trap. Do not recommend.

    The pompano joes in Destin has always been one of my absolute favorite places to dine on vacation. Well the one in Panama is not at all up to their standards. The food was very over priced and over cooked . My coconut shrimp was practically burnt and my veggies mushy. We were both VERY Disappointed. We will never be back! Honestly I probably won’t even go to the one in Destin again, it was that bad!!

    Restaurant was extremely dirty. When we were seated we had to ask server to sweep under table to clean up French fries and other food debris. Two seats had to be wiped because of dried ketchup. Restrooms, both women and mens were beyond disgusting.

    Our experience started out poorly. Reservation @ 4:30. Seated immediately, very good. Only 3 other tables were occupied, multiple servers. Waited 15 minutes with multiple servers walking by, but no service. Went to the hostess and finally someone came over. Mixup in serving areas was the explanation. Many apologies from manager and server and they made it right on our bill. Service was excellent once the issues were resolved Food was good but overpriced as it usually is in these type of chains.

    Wouldn’t even give this place 1 star. Dirty silverware. Not enough fans outside to keep the sitting area cool enough. We ordered the gulf shrimp and it was hard. Maybe from being over cooked. The hush puppies were over cooked as well.

    This is a tourist trap, with mediocre food. Halibut was the quality of a Burger King fillet. Same goes for the fried grouper.
