The Boatyard

¢-$$$, Seafood, Panama City Beach


Fodor's Review:

The same folks who operate Schooners on the beach side opened this larger, more stylish establishment overlooking a marina on the Grand Lagoon. For starters, try fried peanut-crusted crab claws, or conch fritters with hot-pepper jelly and wasabi mayonnaise. For dinner, choose from the Caesar salad with Apalachicola oyster fritters, the lobster sandwich, or the aptly named Fried Shrimp You Can't Live Without. The coconut-and-plantain-crusted grouper is a knockout, as is the pan-roasted catch with bacon, mushrooms, and grits (this is definitely the South). There are a kids' menu, an extensive wine list, and a full bar, and the upstairs deck area is a great place to get away from the beach for a long, lazy lunch or romantic sunset dinner. Be aware that the Boatyard kicks into high gear at sundown, transforming into one of the hottest nightspots in town.
