Pier Park at Panama City Beach
Restaurants
As you can see below,
Pier Park is home to lot's of restaurants.
Back Porch Seafood and
Oyster House
Fresh seafood restaurant right across the street from the Gulf of Mexico. Dine on traditional seafood platters
in a casual and laid back atmosphere. Sandwiches from $10 to $14, and dinner from $16 to $25. Back Porch is
located at the corner of Front Beach Road and the main boardwalk area of Pier Park. Eaten at the BP several
times...good Gumbo
Bootleg
Barbecue
“We live our lives like we smoke our meat, slow and on the beach.” Bootleg owner Josh
Daugherty comes from a back ground in high-end cuisine, but with solid roots in slow roasted pork butts, he
returned to BBQ. Bootleg Barbecue restaurant in Pier Park is truly one of a kind, bringing the sweet savor of
BBQ sauce and quality meat and sides in a fun environment. Sandwiches from $8, plates from $13, and huge party
feast catering with special pricing! Bootleg is located in the “festive” grounds, right next to Starbucks. We
have tried the ribs and pulled pork...good stuff & large portions!
Buffalo Wild
Wings
Buffalo Wild Wings in Pier Park brings the traditional combination of watching sports on a gazillion
flat screen TV’s and eating messy, spicy wings to Panama City Beach. We have not been to this
location but the store the store we visited in Ann Arbor was
good.
Cantina Bar and
Grill
Cantina Bar and
Grill is across the street from Red Robin.
The menu, although similar in
style to a traditional Mexican restaurant, offers a much wider variety of choices. Appetizers include Loco
Queso al Fuego – Chihuahua cheese with roasted poblano peppers, spicy chorizo sausage and mushrooms, fired
tableside. There’s a great selection of soups, salads and lunch specials, and entrees include Baja Fish Tacos –
grilled tilapia served in flour tortillas with red marinated cabbage, pico de gallo and one side. One of the
best things about The Cantina Bar & Grill’s menu is that it offers some side items that you won’t find
anywhere else. Jalapeño sweet grits, coconut rice, sautéed green beans and sweet potato chips are just a few of
the delicious options to accompany your meal.
Daily drink
specials including buy one Margarita and get the 2nd half off on Wednesdays, and bloody Mary specials on Sunday
mornings. Every Thursday night at 8:30 pm the Cantina Bar &
Grill is offering free traditional salsa lessons, and on Friday and Saturday nights from about 10:00 pm onwards
the whole place goes from laid-back restaurant to hot Latin nightspot! Disco nights are hopping till the early
hours, and there’s no cover until the season is in full swing!
Open 7 days a
week. Lunch 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Dinner 3:00 pm till Close. Bar Open till Whenever! (850) 233

Five Guys Famous
Hamburgers & Fries
We have not tried
the Pier Park store however they have a great take out order system in their Arlington VA store. Keep
your take out order in numerical order because they put number stickers on each burger so you know what is
what. Favorite fries of our nephews Geoff and Evan!
Guglielmo's Italian
Grill
Located in the
middle of the action in Pier Park, Guglielmo’s is a big-box chain that brings little Italy flavor to all their
dishes. Guglielmo’s is located down from Starbucks next to Bootleg Barbecue. Outside
Seating.
Guy Harvey's Island
Grill
Pier Park has one of the four Guy Harvey’s four Island Grills. Fans of Guy
Harvey can buy authentic shirts and other apparel along with art and more in the gift shop, then dine on a menu
consisting of no protected fish. Guy Harvey’s is located on the main boardwalk area, on the east side
close to Front Beach Road – you can’t miss it! We have eaten at Guy's once. Pretty good
food and a nice gift shop.

Jerry is at Hofbrau Friday afternoons for the free keg of beer. A keg is tapped and beer is free while it
lasts. Drink up! Hofbrau Beer Garden is located in the main boardwalk area, right across from Red

Jimmy Buffett's
Margaritaville
The best location in Pier Park. Located
directly on Front Beach Road next to the Back Porch on the west side of the main boardwalk area, with an

OK. I stick with cheeseburger's and nachos.
