Coconuts Restaurant

What a great place in Panama City for breakfast. You can sit on the deck & people watch. Staff was so attentive & friendly. Everything was great. Prices too. Really liked the grits & hash browns. Don’t forget the Bloody Mary, we ordered extra spicy, weren’t disappointed.

This was a great place for breakfast. The food was great and their Grit Bowl is a real deal at $ 3.99 for grits, cheese, bacon, and an egg. Our waitress was the best! Amanda was friendly and funny and handled our party of 9 with ease. The kitchen was slow however, but the food was all worth waiting for. Will be back again!

We just left there. They have no baked oysters. We left to find them somewhere else

I liked their food. Their shrimp and grits was delicious, and plenty. The blackened grouper fingers my sweetie haf turned out to be a generous portion of perfectly grilled full filet. I was perfectly satisfied w the service. I will be back. Oh yeah. We are from St Pete FL. We know our seafood.

No breakfast at 11:00 am! Gave us a lunch menu and stated breakfast ended 30 minutes ago!
I had breakfast on a previous visit and it was good so that’s what I was going for.
Got stuck with a lunch menu so I thought I’d give it a try. Bad decision.
Lunch is overpriced and food was mediocre. I will never return for lunch and they end breakfast too early for a beach town.
$ 10 hamburgers and $ 13 shrimp plates are not a good deal especially when they taste mediocre.
Stick with breakfast and serve it until at least 11:30!

Service was a little slow and the raw oysters were a little pricey, but not a bad experience. I would come here again. Husband liked the shrimp and grits.

This place is a joke. We tried it three times to make sure it wasn’t a fluke. The «fresh baked oysters» are thrown in a microwave and cooked not baked at all. I waited 30 minutes for my food the coconut shrimp basket when I finally received it it was cooled not even warm this was after my wife had already received her meal 20 minutes earlier. This may be close to the location you’re staying at but I highly suggest you skip this place. The only server who actually gives a crap about helping you is the poor little pregnant girl Courtney. Just horrible!!!

We were on vacation and was attracted to the fun islandly feel of coconuts. We wanted to sit outside (7 people and a baby) but it was all either rocker tables or high tops and a high chair didn’t work anywhere.
We went inside and they told us at 12:30 they sold breakfast until 2. Not what we wanted, but we were hungry and ate anyway. Food was okay, service was slow. Decent pricing.
Cute décor and nice servers, but it took forever.

Great food, fun ambiance, then a 250lb shirtless man sat down at the table next to us and ordered oysters. No shirt, no shoes, no problem. Would have been a four star, but I had to see his hairy back and big belly while we ate.

We went for breakfast, everything we ordered was wonderful. (Royal eggs Benedict, French toast, coconuts ultimate omelet) The omelette was huge and big enough for 2. The service was also incredible, our waiter was Yuri.

Went for supper.
Wait to sit was singer than necessary, had empty tables.
About as expected for right across from resort.
Average to below average food. Pricing was higher than average.

This place smells like a bathroom! We were hungry and it was close so we decided to try it out. They are busy but not to the point that their servers should be so behind and can’t keep up. The hostesses are so busy singing, dancing, and talking with each other that they could not provide me with the correct wifi password. When I kept informing them that the password was wrong, they kept looking at each other and smiling. The service is horrible. It took forever to get a refill on a drink. We ordered a dozen oysters which are chucked right in front of you which is pretty cool. After we ordered our entrees, we waited about 45 min until we finally askeded the oyster man to check on our food. He came out right away with it which makes us think it was sitting under the heat lamp for 45 minutes. Our bartender was the only person behind the bar and it looks like she was also taking care of the high tops. So we never saw her. Or if we did order a drink, she would forget about it. The food was lukewarm and my fries were soggy since they were sitting under the heat lamp for so long. They have no system of determining which seat orders which food because we were asked 9 times if random food was ours. It’s kind of inconvenient to our conversation and it to disrupts our meal. There was a manager on duty who was just standing there looking at his iPad, kind of monitoring everybody, but not really doing shit.

The atmosphere is pretty good. The crab legs were perfect. My husband got the Alfredo which is made to order, and was pretty good. Corn on the cob still had lots of silk on it and was over cooked.

Run don’t walk from this one.
We were asked what we ordered at least 5xs by 3 different waiters and they still got it wrong. Took 45 mins to get food and it was not all that.
Folks are friendly enough. but man service sucks!
Trust me. the review are correct.
Run from here. keep driving.
Servers in desperate need of basic training.
Never had an experience quite like this.
We just left in awe…
Good luck if you choose to go.

Despite the bad reviews we decided to try this restaurant for breakfast (around 9:00 AM) on our last day visiting Panama City Beach. It is very convenient and it looked pretty and «beachy». As we approach the entrance, an entire family comes out really pissed and they tell us «good luck getting service», apparently they waited over 30 minutes for someone to notice them, so they left. We enter the restaurant and we see people (customers) on their tables looking hungry and impatient, the place was not busy at all… We risked it anyways and sat down on the table next to the hostess stand.
I’m not sure what happened before we arrived, but we got service pretty quickly, we ordered, the food came out fast, DELICIOUS, I order «the deadliest catch» which is a crab and cream cheese omelette, the best I’ve tried!!! I shall try to replicate it… nice portions, coffee was average, the server was excellent, she did not miss anything, she took good care of us.
Bottom line, I would come back without hesitation!!!

The service is terribly slow. There were not many customers there but it took forever to get the drink order. The waitress was extremely rude! Don’t waste your time. Terrible!

The business does not need your money! Waited 30 mins and we were still not seated! There were 2 group behind us and waited as well. We finally had enough and left. Bad very very horrible customer service so do not go here and ruin your day!

I base my restaurant experience on 5 things
Atmosphere
Service
Food
Price
Wow
–atmosphere–
Atmosphere was great, we sat outside on the patio and it was nice out there. We sat on a big swinging table with attached benches, a cool extra.
–service–
Service here was not great. Our waitress was talkative but not helpful. Towards the end of out meal she approached our table and began to tell us how they were ending her shift and «didn’t want to try’s and rush us but…» I can imagine what service would be like during the busy summer months.
–food–
Food was excellent. I got the Oysters Rockefeller (came with about 12 oysters) and they were delicious. My wife got the coconut shrimp basket and they were probably some of the best I’ve had (don’t eat them often though). The sweet potato fries were good and fresh and hush puppy’s were good as well.
–price–
I thought that the prices were reasonable for this meal. The quality of the food was comparable to the price. We got my oysters, a side of fries, and a basket with waters for $ 35.
–wow–
This place did not wow me. The food was very good, but the service would be awful in busy summer months. We were 2 of the 6 people there.
Overall, I would recommend this place if you are going during a time that is not a normal meal time if you are going during the summer months, if your here during May like myself, go for it, just put on some thick skin and look past the bad service.

Had a late lunch/​early dinner and was pleasantly surprised. When we walked in the restaurant was empty — no customers no staff. But we were greeted and told to sit anywhere.
My wife ordered the grilled grouper basket and I ordered the grilled shrimp. We split our entrees and both loved them. The cole slaw was over dressed, but all the other sides were pretty tasty.

Ok so we came back to PCB looking for that same delish shrimp and grits. They changed their recipe! And not for the better. My boyfriend liked it, but it did not compare to what I had back in April! Change it back!
On the other hand, our companion loved her eggs benedict (we were there during brunch) and the kids meals were huge portions with awesome fries.
