Reviews for Barefoot On The Bay Bar & Grill in Panama City, FL

Sit at the bar. The oysters (huge!) were shucked in front of us. The guy who did it was very informative, he showed us why he... tossed the ones he did, both from the hollow sound (small) and the dirt (instead of clear water). I learned so much from him!These were the best oysters I have ever had, and they were huge! Three cheese bacon Jalapeño roasted were amazing as were theraw ones. Best oysters I've ever had Read more

The service was great, the food was great and the restaurant is in a great location. Beautiful sunsets. The Mahi was really over... seasoned though, really salty. Read more

A great place to sit and watch the sun go down. The food is good, maybe not great, but good. Had the seafood platter, and the... oysters were fried crispy (really loved those), crab cake was tasty, only slightly thin, blackened shrimp were on point,blackened grouper could have cooked a minute longer. But, overall, the platter was good. We started with the Shrimp & Crab Dipwhich was great. We also had a Mahi Sandwich that could have been spiced a little better and the fries could use seasoning,still a pretty good sandwich. Drinks were cold and service was friendly. Would recommend this place when in Panama City on theBay in the old downtown area. The scenery, and some of the houses in the area, are awesome, so check the place out. Read more

Great quality and size oysters!! One of the best in Panama City and for not a bad price. It was $15 for a dozen raw and $18 a... dozen cooked. Based on market value though like most other places, so it could fluctuate. Great ambience also with an amazingview of the water. Go during sunset and you won't regret it. There were two live singers also that were amazing. Our serversIvan and Maria were friendly and welcome also. Can't go wrong with good food, music, atmosphere, view, and service!! Read more

Really good breading on the shrimp. I had the seafood platter and substituted extra shrimp for the oysters in case you are not a... fan like me. I recommend the Barefoot Punch, 5 different rums so what could go wrong. We brought our dog so we enjoyed thecovered deck for extra shade but the open area has umbrellas. There is a mix of pub high and regular height tables. Beautifulview of the late afternoon bay with boat traffic coming in and out. Read more

This is my fav place to sit on the patio and have lunch or finish my work day paperwork as I have a cocktail. The interior of... the restaurant isn?t very inviting (dark and gloomy) but the patio/deck is fab. Staff is always friendly and the food is good.The food is pretty standard fate that you can get at most beach tourist restaurants and I will admit it is iffy on how good itwill be on any particular day. So why the five stars? You cant beat the view of the bay and the mega relaxed atmosphere. Thereis no pretense here (if you want that or a bit of fancy pants go next door)?just a friendly, ?we are glad you are here? vibe. Read more

Food was great and our server Amanda was the best, we will be back next time qe.arr in town from Arizona

This was recommended by our Airbnb host and we?re so grateful he did! It?s fabulous- little hole in the wall and it has been the... first place where we?ve been greeted and the waitstaff seemed glad to have us there. Oysters were on point! Fresh, shucked atorder. They were so good. I also ordered chicken wings- fabulous and would recommend My boyfriend got the sampler platter and-WOW- the amount of food was perfect. Everything was tasty. Fish cooked to perfection and lightly seasoned Hush puppies- I couldjust eat them and be fine The drinks are amazing, food is terrific and service superb. Go, you won?t regret it Read more
