This is not a great looking place but the oysters are wonderful. This is a great place to gorge on some raw oysters before heading to AJ's to party the night away! more

Well now, it's been awhile since I stopped in at the boat house, but I can tell you I have some fond memories of hanging out here as many locals will tell you. I remember, ice cold beer, great fresh oysters, unbeatable atmosphere in a tiny bar that hangs out over the harbor. Live listenable music, and great late night... more

You can't go wrong with 3 of my favorites that I have every time I visit here. Try the grouper sandwich, boiled crawfish, and the best gumbo for 200 miles. The beer is cheap and cold, the live music... more

We visited this place on a road trip from Alabama to Tampa and a bartender in Panama City recommended visiting this place and he was absolutely right. This was one of our favorite locations over the 14 day trip across many different cities/towns. The oysters were huge and delicious and the gumbo was terrific. The atmosphere was also great. The... more

Dynamic harbor front local watering hole serving fresh grilled mahi , fatbot crabcakes, cajun bawld peanuts, and what is widely considered to be the area's best gumbo. It's a dive with dollar bills plastered amongst ladies undergarments, autographed tee shirts, hats, shoes, lisence plates, almost anything that holds the moment a littlle longer. great beach watering hole and a perfect... more
