Great seafood restaurant across from the Piet. On the corner of Pier Park. Huge building. They can seat a lot of people!! Big patio for outdoor seating too. Fun colorful atmosphere but not too noisy from tons of tv screens. I was thankful for that. The service was great!! Our Server was amazing!! Thank you!! All of our food was really good & huge servings. So much food. On patters even There were several large groups that came in & were seated while we were there. They had plenty of room. We highly recommend the Tuna Dip appetizer!! Delicious!!! Kinda pricey but seems they all are at the coast. We will come back next trip!!! Enjoy!!!

Flounder entree: fried with a side of carribean rice and beans, veggies, and two hushpuppies. The flounder came with 2 nice sizes and pieces fried to perfection. The hush puppies were amazing. The rice and beans didn't have a specific flavor pretty bland Shrimp Fettuccine: Basic Alfredo. It did come with mushrooms and tomatoes, but my daughter removed them, so that may have made a big difference. Crab cake appetizers: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Small but amazing flavor they came with creamy dill lemon sauce.

I truly don't know where the best place to start is. This was an absolutely stellar experience from start to finish. We had gotten seated, and not even half a minute later, our server Jovan greeted us and had brought us waters to start the experience. This is something I have never seen at a restaurant and it was a very pleasant start to our dinner. They have a wide selection of alcolohic beverages, all of which seemed amazing. We ended up ordering the Caribbean Cooler, and it was one of the most beautifully made drinks I've ever ordered. The food we ordered was phenomenal, we got the Beach Party appetizer, and for the entrees, we got coconut shrimp and crab stuffed mahi. Both dishes were delicious and some of the best food I have ever ordered. Also, it is definitely worth noting the twice baked potato, I have never enjoyed a baked potato as much as I enjoyed this one. It pairs amazingly with any dish on the menu very well. Overall, it was just an absolute 100/10 experience, thank you Jovan!!!

We had a great experience! A few years ago when we vacationed in Destin, we ate at the other location, so we had to stop by this one when we were in PCB this year and it did not disappoint. Our waiter was fantastic; did magic tricks with our 4-year-old, recommended great menu items, attentive, and friendly. We ordered fish and chips (bite size pieces that were very juicy and flavorful), fish tacos, and grouper with crab on top (yum!). Everything was wonderful! Perfect location, right across from the beach and pier, at the front of Pier Park. They had ample seating inside and outside. There was a great covered patio as well as additional seating that was not shaded. All of the staff was friendly. We chatted with the bartender who offered us great local recommendations on places to visit. Everything was clean as well, including the bathrooms. Overall, definitely recommend visiting!

We were seated outside and had a great view of the sunset. It was worth the 30 minute wait to be seated on a Monday night. The place was packed but we didn't wait very long for our drinks and apps. Our server was Riley(?). He was very friendly, had a great attitude despite being busy and were attentive to us. We ordered the Calamari, Seafood gumbo, Grouper Marsala and Mahi Mahi and shrimp, they were all very delicious! I'll definitely be back again when I'm in town.

OMG! These grilled snow crab legs were amazing. This was my first time ever trying them and I'm very pleased with the flavor. I absolutely recommend!

We really enjoyed our visit. Service was very friendly and efficient. I had been looking for coconut shrimp and read a few bad reviews for this restaurant. I ordered the coconut shrimp and enjoyed it! The batter was a little thick but I still liked it. My husband got the Jerk Chicken dinner and said it had great flavor. We also had cocktails and key lime pie for desert. To top off our evening, there were fireworks at the pier.! Our waiter was sweet and said we could stay as long as we liked. Great service. Definitely recommend a reservation to decrease wait time. But most walk ups still had only a 20-30 min wait during a busy Friday night. Would certainly return! Great sunset pics at pier as well!

A fun place with some great food and drink options. The deep fried mushrooms are outstanding, they are sliced instead of whole mushrooms (which are normally dripping with oil). These were light, crisp, and delicious. Indoor and outdoor seating options. Nice drinks also. Thought the food was a bit speedy, until it arrived. Generous portions and prepared perfectly. See you again.

Last place we ate at before heading back to reality while on our trip in Panama City. I had to get my last seafood fix in. So we decided to try this place out. I ordered the cajun shriimp bowl (served chilled) and it wasn't as good as I expected it to be. I felt it was salty and had too much seasoning. I am one who likes just plained steamed shrimp with butter and lemon. I wanted to try something out of the box but it wasn't for me. My bf ordered the Carribean jerk egg rolls and he said that it was good. I had a bit of it and it did taste delicious. I ordered the fish tacos, I am not sure what was the name of the fish I had but it was delicious as well. We went there for lunch and the portion sizes were pretty big as well. Prices weren't bad, pretty decent considering that it is a big tourist spot. There's lots of stores in the area and a mall that we didn't have time to visit.

Fish dinner was ok, place was some what dirty and sticky. We were kinda surprised when check came and it was $18 for kids corn dog. Over all experience was ok but could be better I place got cleaned up.

My waitress was Donna & she was such a pleasure. She provided her honest opinion with certain food options, which I truly value because some waitresses will lie just so you’ll hurry up and select something. I told her how I’ve never had gumbo before, & she offered me a sample. I ordered nachos & tacos which were pretty good. Had a mango pina colada as well but it tasted like a virgin(I’m not a drinker at all & yet I still didn’t taste any sort of alcohol). If you’re ever there, ask for Donna….she’s the sweetest!

2022-Feb: We do not have a reservation. We parked in the pier's parking lot. It took about 15 minutes before the server came and took our drink order. But it only took few minutes to receive our drinks. Women's bathroom and the facility were clean. We sat in the patio outside. In about 30 minutes, we received our meals. But we didn't have any utensils 😅. (The server gave us our utensils right away when we asked for it). All our meals were delicious. Mango daiquiri was good! Our server was ok.. he checked on us after we received our meal. Food was great, service was ok. Price was decent. Bon Appétit.

It was our first time to visit Pompano Joes. We’ve heard good things about it and decided to try it out. Our waitress Christina was GREAT! She offered us happy our specials as well as suggestion good entree selections. The portion size and price were good. We will return next year.

Went for my birthday dinner last night and had a great time! Got there around 6 with a party of 8, only had to wait about 30 minutes for inside seating. Was hot in the restaurant but still better than outside. Alexis our server was fantastic - gave me a very much appreciated birthday shout-out to the entire restaurant! Food came out quickly as well - crab claws were delectable, crab and shrimp stuffed mahi was succulent, even the kids enjoyed their “popcorn shrimp” which looked more like regular fried shrimp. Good time had by all!
