Reviews for Harpoon Harry's Beachfront Restaurant in Panama City Beach, FL

What a gorgeous restaurant inside and out. We sat inside since it was chilly outside. Started with an Old Fashioned and red... wine. The Caesar salad was great. We enjoyed the cheese dip and chips. The grouper was juicy and delicious. Onion ringsperfect. Fried shrimp was crispy and not greasy. Gotta try the crab ???? cake. Everything was really tasty. Beautiful sunset toend the night.

Overall a positive experience. Our server was great. They view was fabulous but the food was just ok. I had the fish tacos... and the fish was over cooked. My wife had the fried grouper with the snow crab topper. It was served with a very heavy sauceover the grouper that did not compliment the fillet well. Most people come for the seafood bucket with crab legs and everyonewho had it seemed to enjoy it. Read more

From the service to the food, we had the best experience! My husband got the seafood platter and I got the Shrimp, Shrimp,... Shrimp plate. I never knew I needed bacon wrapped shrimp in my life but here we are! My husband said he has never been a big fanof scallops until this place. It was delicious! I also opted in for a side of their "world famous" macaroni and I willdefinitely recommend it to anyone I know, so good. Everything came out hot too! Grab a table outside for a beautiful beach view.Great visit! Read more

This was a yummy, cool spot for dinner. We were here for a week and went twice for dinner! Great service and the food was... delicious. Sitting outside by the beach with a nice ocean breeze and good music was great! The drinks were some of the bestI’ve ever had! And you get to keep your cup. Definitely recommend. The only reason I didn’t give a 5 star review was thehostess on our first night was not as friendly as the wait staff and bar tenders. Read more

Our food was phenomenal but oh my gosh, the wait, it was nearly unbearable. It took us 18 minutes to be acknowledged by our... waiter for just a drink order, which was two sodas and a Lemonade...after we got those and he took our order, it took 62 minutesto get our food. It wasn't even that busy. It was 1:15pm on a Thursday, neither inside nor out were busy with people. I've neverhad to wait so long for a lunch. While the wait was long, the food was really good. It's just the service was far too slow. Wegot: shrimp quesadilla, ahi shrimp appetizer, grouper, and the island chicken burger. Read more

I sat inside because it was too windy outside. The drinks and appetizers were ready fairly quick but the entrée took a while.... The restaurant was clean, staff was friendly, food was well seasoned, and the cups were souvenirs. I asked for grilled grouperbut my waiter was so nice that I didn't want to cause attention to the fact that it was fried. It was still good but the fryingtook away from the natural grouper taste. Steak was flavorful but the crab cake was pure cake, little to no crab. Warning: beprepared if you're going to order a 32oz drink. Our only issue was that the supervisor was rude to the server in front of us.The waiter forgot to bring utensils and the supervisor told the server in a condescending tone that she could have brought it.

We were excited to try this local establishment. We arrived and the hostess seemed as though she would prefer to be anywhere... else. She never smiled, barely spoke and moved at a snail's pace. We were the 3rd party in line and she had no sense of urgencywhatsoever and everyone noticed. Once seated, our server greeted us and he was friendly. He took our drink order and thensomeone else finally came over to get our dinner order. I tried the Harry Cane cocktail and it was quite good! My husbandordered bottle beer because they had none on tap. He ordered the blackened grouper sandwich and said it was good. I ordered theseafood platter. The shrimp and scallops were of good size but everything fried tasted the same. The stuffed crabs were mostlybreading. It wasn't a bad meal but felt it was lacking compared to the price. Our server also did the bare minimum. I hadplanned on trying another cocktail but he never asked if I would have liked another drink. In addition to the meal cost, therewas a 3% tourist area charge. This was posted at the front so it wasn't something we weren't aware of. If we had known thequality of the meal ahead, we would not have stayed. We recently moved to the area and have been trying different places. Itwas an experience but definitely one that is a once and done for us. Read more

Not bad but lacking. It was kinda of a tough night to come in as it was very could out which would have made me think the help... would have been consolidated but it was just average. The shrimp app was pretty good but the seafood bucket was pretty averageand I'd say over priced for what you get. Typical tourist seafood trap. I'm sure the views and locations would have been greatif the weather was better. Read more
