We all love a good meal, but what we love even more is to have a place we can rest our weary bodies, get a drink, and maybe something to satisfy the rumbling of a discontent stomach. There is just something to the casual dining place that makes them more memorable and special than any fine dining. If you agree with this, join us as we explore some of the best casual places to eat in Panama City Beach!

A Journey South

Let’s start our trip by examining some of the flavors from south of the border with Finns Island Style Grub! You won’t find stale and flavorless ingredients, nor ones that have sat hidden away in a jar for ages. At Finns, you will find only the freshest and highest quality ingredients possible. As well, your food will never know the inside of a frier nor a microwave. You’ll find yourself in culinary heaven as you dig into a plate of towering nachos, or perhaps a warm and comforting taco or a large, bulging burrito. You can even go the healthy route and stick to a wrap or even get a smoothie from the barista bar! While you’re at it, why not get a coffee or two, organic and only of the highest quality beans of course, and see why so many flock to Finns no matter the time of day.

While we are looking towards the south, make sure you stop by Diego’s Burrito Factory. Offering burritos, quesadillas, burrito bowls, and tacos, you have the freedom to create whatever behemoth you decide, whether it be filled with steak and beans or fully veggie! As well, there is no better way to enjoy the beach than a good margarita, and Diego’s has some of the best around!

The Coast and Beyond

Now let’s move north a bit but keep close to the coast with some of the best seafood around at Hang Five! Not only will you find a selection of drinks from their full bar, but you will have a great selection of entrees ranging from seafood gumbo to the seafood nachos, grilled mahi-mahi, seafood pasta, crab cakes, and all that lies in between. What’s even better is every Sunday you can enjoy your meal and drinks while rocking out to live music. However, make sure you don’t miss out on their daily happy hour, which stands as a point of pride with them!

If you’re looking for something truly different, join us as we take a jump across the pond with The British Eatery, which hosts a wide selection of authentic English food all the way in Panama City Beach! You’ll find all the classics of British cuisine like fish and chips, shepherd’s pie, and bangers and mash, though you’ll also find a selection of more American items like gourmet hamburgers which are sure to add a twinkle to your eye when it is sat before you. Don’t forget to try some of their classic sides like poutine, pickle fries, battered sausage and more. You can even try their Frankenstein Burger which is made with elk, veal, and venison, making it truly a monster to behold!
