My husband and I were told by a friend that Pappy's was no longer a German restaurant, and that it's nightly specials were delicious... what an understatement!! This was, hands down, the BEST meal we have ever had in Panama City, and maybe anywhere else.. We ordered both specials, a chicken dish and a grouper dish, before even looking at... more

My husband and I went to Pappy's this week and had heard it was under new ownership. The menu sounded good with a variety of choices. My husband ordered the seafood platter and I ordered a shrimp dish. Our waitress was average, she seemed pre-occupied with her other tables. Our dishes were to sum it up--bland. We live in PC... more

My husband and I went into the new and improved Pappy's and were amazed at the atmosphere and menu. It is now under new ownership and is not just your old German farts restaurant anymore. They have added a lot of fresh seafood. The crab cakes are to die for, the best one I have found in Panama City so... more

During our visit to Panama City we saw an advertisement on the TV for Pappy's German Rest. We decided to go. When we arrived we were greeted by the cook (young man on the street) and was told he would cook us up some dinner. We went into this place, no music playing, just three people at the bar drinking... more

I just want everyone to be informed that I Lee Head as the new owner of Pappy's took over the business after much cleaning and re-setting on June 1 2009. I serve only the best fresh seafoods from the local area and other fare from around world. If you give us a try you WILL BE BACK. All of my...

On a jaunt around historic St. Andrew's my husband and I decided to stop in at Pappy's German Restaurant. Both Panama City natives, we had heard stories of our grandparents frequenting Pappy's way back when, yet we had never been there ourselves. From the first step in the door to our final good byes we could not have had more... more

My wife and I visited for the first time today. We found the atmosphere to be very friendly. We wanted to watch the sunset so we ordered our dinner to go. We could have stayed and enjoyed the atmosphere! It's nice to find a great little restaurant like this that is not a franchise but a real family owned pub.... more

We have lived in Panama City Beach for six years and have given Pappy's 3 chances and each time, it got worse. EVERY German that we know who has eaten there was of the same opinion! My wife is from Germany and I spent several years in Germany. The two sisters who own the dump are, at best, rude and... more

During our vacation in Panama City Beach, FL area we have discovered that most of the restaurants are really run down, in poor shape inside and out. Pappy's German Restaurant was no exception. It is difficult to find. We went to the Marina before and never saw it. This time we mapped it out and knew the location and still... more
