Our family has been going here for years. We love the atmosphere and the view of the bay. Our favorites are the Fried shrimp, grouper and Fried pickles. Enough pickles to feed a small army! more

Boon Docks is a wonderful restaurant with great atmosphere!! The food is great and is reasonably priced. They are kid friendly and serve their kid meals on frisbies that the kids get to keep. You want to make sure you get there early or you will wait a while. The gift shop is really cute but a little pricey. I... more

If you are looking for fried shrimp or grouper, you've found it. Both are large, lightly breaded, and perfectly cooked. The sides are forgettable, but that's not why you go there anyway. We have guests come to town regularly, and everyone we take there asks to go again the next time they visit. more

I went to PC beach with my daughter and her family; husband and three boys, ages 7, 3, and 5 months on May 29th, 2009. We just sort of stumbled on this place by accident. We got lost and was actually out in the "boondocks" and saw a sign so we tried it out. I thought the food was a... more

My family returned to the Boon Docks restaurant on a fairly slow Sunday evening after enjoying a meal there (after a long wait) in the summer of 2007. I'd been perplexed after reading the reviews here -- there seemed to be a lot of negative reviews, which really surprised me, but I attributed to summer crowds and long waits. The... more

As someone who has grown up around the beaches and knows good seafood, I can confidently say that Boon Docks is an excellent restaurant. The seafood is fresh and the best. There are days that the seafood is exceptional and taste better than others but it is NEVER bad! IThat's what happens when you get seafood that isn't from another... more

It's true if you're looking for an upscale seafood or steak restaurant then you shouldn't go to Boon Docks. But they don't advertise themselves as such..... and I think their name alone lets you know its going to be more of Cracker Barrel experience. Overall, the food was good. (The corn nuggets and the fried pickles on their appetizer list... more

What's the big deal with this place? We waited for 2 hours because we heard this was "The best seafood in Panama City". Sorry people, but far from it. The food was average at best. Anyway, it has a country feel and a real nice atmosphere when you drive up. There are plenty of places to wait inside and out... more

Given the back bay tailer park location, we went to Boon Docks expecting authentic back woods ambiance and fair. What we got was super shiny eat-off-of clean floors and lighting kin the an operating room. No gritty raw bar here. We were disappointed with the white bread selection- We are always suspect of a supposed seafood restaurant with tilapia on... more
