We had a fabulous dinner at Captain Andersons in Panama Beach Florida. It lived up to its reputation and the wait and prices were not outrageous. They charcoal grill the fish that have been caught that day. We ate grilled grouper, a whole fried flounder, shrimp in lemon garlic sauce and grilled amberjack. We opted for the Greek salads and... more

We go to Captain Anderson's every year, and have yet to be dissapointed! The food is great, and the prices are what you would expect for a nice restaurant. The only negative is the decor, which could be updated some. Otherwise our favorite place in PCB! more

Anderson brings them in because of location ,most visitors from the area( 300 miles or so) he has been around for years. He used to be downtown before they built the marina. He went to St Andrews and built what he has over the years. The food is no better or worse than Capt.Ds" or Long John Silvers. During the... more

I was shocked to see the negative reviews on this place! I'd give anything to have such a "pricey", "touristy" restaurant like this in Chicago. My wife and I broke our rule, and dined there twice in four days. We learned of this gem from all of the guests and employees at the Sunset Inn, where we stayed on the... more

My daughter and I absolutely loved the broiled scallops at Captain Anderson's. We love seafood of all kinds, but these scallops were the BEST we have ever tasted. Everyone at our table made fun of us because we closed our eyes with every bite, so we could savor the yumminess. The entire meal was excellent and our waitress, Deanna, was... more

I promised my son we would go to one local restaurant in PCB, so we choose Captain Anderson's. He really wanted to go to the ship restaurant but I knew it was an obvious tourist trap. We went to Captain Andersons on a Monday night. It was still extremely crowded but we did get in after about a 15-20 min.... more

I grew up at the beach, so I know good seafood when I find it. Captain Anderson's was that kind of seafood we used to call "tourist seafood". Instead of sticking to the basics, the menu reads more like a seafood experiment. Some people like all kinds of crazy seafood concoctions, but I don't really. I had broiled scamp with... more

After hearing that you had to go to Captain Anderson's while in PCB, we did just that. We were seated almost immediately, but the tables are very close together and I was almost beaten to death by a waitress whose response to bonking me on the head was "this is the only way to go". Our waitress, Cindy N. did... more

I've had mediocre experiences at this restaurant before, but I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt and try it again because my friends really like it and wanted to go. This proved to be a big mistake. Captain Anderson's is all hype. The atmosphere is similar to a slaughterhouse, they pack you in and then try... more

you can find this type of food at many other PCB restaurants at a fraction of the cost! We were not impressed with the food at all and the prices are reflective of their overrated popularity. Don't waste your money here. more
