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. Everything is well prepared. The bar... more

This was our second visit to Uncle Ernie's and once again we were impressed. The last time was in 2007 (after a recommendation from a local) for dinner, and this time was for lunch. The service was very good, our deckside table was clean and the prices for lunch were very reasonable with many of the dishes including a soup... more

We decided to try the restaurant based on a personal recommendation. We arrived at 7:00PM and decided to eat on the upper deck. We enjoyed listening to the live music and nice view. By 8:00 it became cold and dark (very few lights on the top deck). We ordered a variety of meals. The dinners were excellent with very large... more

I ate on a Thursday night, not too crowed and decided to eat on the upper deck. I was initially met by the bar tender for my drink order despite the fact that I was at a table. That's fine, but when I asked for a draft, she told me that she only had bottles on the deck. OK, but... more

My family and I just came back from spending two weeks in Panama City. We ate out almost every day and Uncle Ernie's was by far our favorite restaurant. The view is awesome and the area the restaurant is located in is definitely worth the trip. We had the calamari appetizer which was very good. The bread they served with... more

We had dined there quite frequently and would take our relatives from out of town there to eat when they would visit - food and service had been outstanding. However, our last visit was such a bad experience we will never go back - the service was terrible, an appetizer was brought to us that was not fully cooked, and... more
