We are headed to PCB in a couple of weeks. We usually stay in Sowal but my husband is doing the 1/2 Ironman Triathalon so we are staying there. In June will return to Sowal!! I was wondering if anyone can recommned some yummy restaurants in PCB? Casual and child friendly suggestions! Thanks so much for any help!!

Pineapple Willy's gets mixed reviews for their ribs, but I've had some good fish sandwiches there.

Pasta Grill and bakery has a lot of fans, and seems like a good pick if you want something carby:

Pasta Grill & Seafood Restaurant, Panama City Beach, Florida - Across the street from the Gulf of Mexico

Bunch of stuff out at the new Pier Park development. Mostly chains, but Ciao Bella is local and has good pizza, salads, and sandwiches (pasta is pretty average, IMO)

Pier Park has MANY great places to choose from. Guy Harvey's Grill is open now and it's great. Everything from pizza to burgers to island food is at Pier Park.
Pasta Grill and Seafood is great food but casual. They have a great European bakery next door too with good gelato! Pasta Grill is on Front Beach, west of Pier Park.
Firefly is a more upscale restaurant located in the Edgewater Shops. Good food and atmosphere.
Barefoot Beach Grill is an outdoor beach bar and grill also on the west end of PCB.
If you want to go over to Thomas Drive, Boatyard is a great place. Same owners as Schooners, but nicer. Hope all this helps. I live on the west end of PCB and frequent places to eat around here and SoWal!!

Carraba's on back beach road is very good and I've heard that Calypso's on front beach road is also pretty good. Saltwater grill on middle beach road is excellent. Have a great time and good luck in the triathalon.

Boondocks in West Bay is one of my faves, but sometimes the wait time is incredible.

Capt Anderson's is always good but go early to avoid the crowds.

Highly recommend the Greek style scamp.

Saltwater Grill isn't really small child friendly. Maybe 10+ early in the evening.

Bonefish on Middle beach Road.

Captain's Table in St. Andrews! We go to lunch there everytime we're near and then shop the local merchants! Old Florida throughout!
