Boon Docks: A Coastal Dining Experience in Panama City Beach

Recommended by locals we were very excited to try this place. It was off the beaten path and absolutely gorgeous. We got there a little after 5pm and already had an hour wait, so the kids played multiple rounds of corn hole while the wait area filled up. The views are incredible! We were seating by the windows, which I loved! But, the food was okay. Not the hype we were hoping. I had the grilled shrimp and the peppers/onions added a nice change to a basic meal. My son had The Besty pasta and I hate to say it wasn't very flavorful. He added salt and pepper and still didn't help. My husband's shrimp and grits were ok (he said). The portions were nice abs prices very reasonable. Our server was attentive and food came out in a good time.

First time here. I got the pick 2 - fried scallops & oysters. Scallops weren't good but oysters were. Hubby got the Hook Line & Sinker. He liked the fish & shrimp. I liked the clam strips. Grits & slaw was good. Hush puppies good. Key lime pie good. Shecrab soup appetizer really good. Overall we liked everything except the scallops. Maybe the grilled ones would've been better. Service was excellent. Didn't get her name but receipt says server ID 353 lol. We would go back.

Stopped in for lunch. Seated immediately and met by our server. She quickly got out drinks to the table and asked if we were ready to order. We had been seated less than 3 minutes. We asked for time to look at menus. 2 minutes later, she's back. We ordered, Shrimp tacos and lunch Fish. Food came out as quick as the waitress. Food was fresh and hot. Before we had eaten half our food, she's back asking if we want a dessert. She also was trying to clear plates while were still eating... No refills were offered, until we were brought the check. Bottom line. Cool place with neat appearances and really good food. The assembly line experience isn't welcoming or fun. I at least like to taste my food. Maybe open the place up more if you want to serve more people.

Amazing restaurant off the beaten path. Can’t go wrong with their grilled fish and shrimp (love the spices, peppers and onions). We also loved the shrimp po-boy and fish tacos! The spicy margarita was also amazing. Our service from Marsha was exceptional! Thank you!

When we entered the entrance smelled of urine. Our waitress was fantastic and our appetizer came within 5 minutes. Our crab claws were $28 a bit overpriced. The grouper was $38 a serving and was good however; the grits had zero flavor and we had to load them with salt and pepper. Overall, it was good and I would try it again.

Fun atmosphere, great service, good food, large portions. Fries and hush puppies are the best. Wife had grilled grouper without the peppers and onions and loved it! I had fried shrimp and fried grouper. Skip the green beans...but otherwise a great PCB meal.

Stop in for a lunch, had some good food and views! Fried Catfish and Popcorn Shrimp, finished our meal with piece of Peanut Butter pie. Recommend this place by the inner coastal!

Everything was tasty though a bit heavy on the fried items. Interesting tchotchkes can be purchased from the store that you enter through (just a couple rooms and hallway to guide you from one building to the breezeway to the main restaurant. Overall nice feel by the Bay and worth visiting once if you’re in the area. Close to airport as a first stop arriving hungry or last stop to not leave hungry.
