We found Uncle Ernie's by accident about ten years ago and try to make it there each time we vacation in or near Panama City. The setting is sublime--a nice view of the bay and not overwhelmed by sunburned tourists. The menu has something for everyone--seafood, poultry, steaks and good soup, salads and sandwiches.
