We evacuated and landed in Panacea. This place was awesome. The staff were very sweet and food was off the chain. Thank you for the sweet Southern hospitality.

We love this dive! Everything we had here was excellent. During crabbing season, they do all their own crabbing—when we pulled up, stacks of traps were ready to go. Everything that’s in season is fresh and local, and the place is locally owned, which makes it even better. The seafood is out of this world, the oysters are fantastic, and the steaks are phenomenal. It’s a no-frills, friendly-service kind of place that’s easy to love. If you enjoy beach dives with amazing food, this spot is perfect for you.

Great seafood for a fair price. I will be back when in the area again. I actually went to lunch twice in three days as it was that good. Fresh seafood, fair price and I loved the cheese grits... best that I have had. thank you!

R U N! Don't walk to this place. There is not anything bad here. The FOOD, PEOPLE, ATMOSPHERE. ALL FANTASTIC. I would literally explode before I would stop eating here. I would fight a legion of one-legged pigmes for this food. Shout out to Antonio.

We were on a US 98 on a road trip and sightseeing. We wanted to stop somewhere for lunch and we found this place in Panacea. I had the steam shrimp with Old Bay seasoning with grits and hush puppies. I basically had shrimp and grits. I loved the Old Bay seasoning and those hush puppies were so good. We also had the key lime pie. That was the most whipped key lime pie I have had and it was very light and good. The place was busy but service was good and people were friendly. Stop by here for good seafood and good customer service.

Good food, little pricey, but good amount of food also. Service as far as follow up to refill drinks slow, when paying had to wait a while for waitress to pick up credit card and was informed needed to take credit card and ticket to front desk. This was confusing since we have been there many times before and the waitress comes by and picks up credit card. But overall pleasant trip. Like the fact open on Tuesday when other seafood restaurants, international area, are not open.

Just had fried oysters and grilled grouper salad. The oysters without the tartar sauce were to die for. Then you add the sauce and I died happy. The grouper was perfect with the seasoning complemented and didn't overpower. I matched that with their honey mustard dressing on the side.

Left some things to be desired. The ambiance looked like it came from Goodwill. Our waitress brought the salad after she brought the main course. Alligator bites, deep fried pickles and shrimp dinner were quite good, but pricey.
