Panama City Beach Seafood Resturant not a tourist place?

Question

We are coming down to PC later this week. We are looking for a great seafood resturant that is not a tourist trap. We also would like it to family friendly since we are coming down with 8 kids.......2 years old and up. If you know of a place I would really appreciate it! Love good food, do not like tourist junk. I know that PC is usally not the place to go if you dislike crowds but I was not the planner of the trip, but I do get to choose the resturants! So help me out please.

Answer 1

It's actually not busy this week so don't worry about that. All the spring breakers have gone home and it's mostly locals out there.

There's bishops buffet and captains table are both really good for seafood.

EDIT: The kids will like Treasure ship. Pompano's is expensive and I wouldn't take kids and pay that price. Pinnaple willy's is ok but it's nothing out of the norm except you eat on the deck out by the water.

Answer 2

The "Treasure Ship" is a good restaurant. It is a huge restaurant built to look like a treasure ship. It overlooks the bay so if you go early you can watch the fishing boats come in. There are people dressed up as pirates that walk around and talk to the kids. They have good seafood as well.

Another good restaurant is Pompano's. There food is great and they have the best key lime pie.

Pineapple Willy's is a good place to have lunch. It is a restaurant on a pier so you sit over the beach.

These are all popular tourist restaurants but they are typically not that busy in May.
