Sheri was great! She worked with us over the menu, and even made our kids have a great experience!! Can beat the lunch prices either!

Always amazing! We visited Dirty Dicks in Panama City recently as well. This place is always amazing, but somehow the food here was even better! I got the shrimp and grits and it was incredible! Great service! The chef (Katie) came by to check and make sure that everything was good. I asked for her name because she did such an amazing job. We've come here several times and this visit they outside themselves! Our server (Sheri) made sure our visit was enjoyable. We came by a second time before we left and got the buffalo shrimp. OMG! These were really great as well. I'm sure this is going to be an amazing season for y'all because you're on fire!

The food was very good and very fast. We had a party of 52 people coming and they were prepared when we came. The food came out very fast and was very delicious. The manager RL was very kind and gave us a lot of recantations. Great restaurant and even better management.

The food, atmosphere, and hospitality was wonderful! It’s a really cool vibe and so laid back at this restaurant. The scenery is one of a kind. Mr. Scott was our waiter and he was the absolute best! He was so kind and professional. My family and I will definitely be back. I personally had the stuff flounder and it was so good. I definitely recommend that.

My family and I came here tonight for dinner. We were greeted as we walked in & sat right away. Our server, Rob, was amazing. He was so kind, answered all of our questions and was very attentive. I am vegetarian & ordered the house salad & the fried pickles which were so good! Rob also brought us out some hush puppies which were probably the best we’ve ever had. The Mariners Platter had SO MUCH food - my dad couldn’t finish it. There’s a few negative reviews about the staff but every person I encountered tonight was very friendly. We will definitely be back each time we come to town.

Crystal was fantastic and made our visit special. We ate before 3 PM and enjoyed the early bird specials. The crab was delicious and hot. Super flavorful. Plenty of parking. Really nice restaurant. Definitely worth stopping by.

Got the oyster flights, they were amazing. It's cooked to perfection. The seasoning was amazing. My husband of course, I got a bacon cheeseburger, and he enjoyed it. The service was over the top. Our waitress was extremely friendly and the other staff.Stop in by to see if you need anything

A great experience front to back! We were greeted by the manager at the front door and he was aware and ready to take us back to “the Saint Louis table” and they had a room ready for all 50 of us! Our server Valerie was so kind and wonderful, very attentive asking us if we needed more drinks and clearing apps to make way for dinner. The broiled seafood platter and the trinity platter with king crab were delish! 2 people or 50 people, Dirty Dicks is ready to please.
