“Usually great food, bad manager tonight, will NOT be going back”

Pompano's

Jun 26, 2008
1/3 found this review helpful

We have visited PCB for three years in a row and always go to Pompano's at least once for dinner. Tonight we went w/ a large party (14, 8 of which were kids).

Bar service/sushi appetizer was wonderful. When it came to dinner, my husband was brought out the wrong thing and my son's steak was overcooked. They did end up recooking both dinners. My husband's was still cooked wrong, but he ate it. My son's was a bit undercooked, but he ate it (everyone in our party was about finished w/ their meals).

When it came time to check out, my husband asked for some sort of compensation for the meals that were cooked wrong/brought out wrong. The waitress got the manager, who was a young kid. He ARGUED w/ my husband in the middle of the restaurant with everyone watching. I could not believe it. He said he would not offer any compensation. After my husband said he would just not pay for it, he threatened to call the police. Just unbelieveably bad customer service.

We are not difficult people to please. My seafood platter was brought out luke warm but I didn't even say anything about it.

Unfortunately, we will not be going back to Pompano's on our next visit to PCB. I'm sad about it, but refuse to pay those kind of prices for food that is less than what is expected from any reasonable person.

“Very good”

Pompano's

Jun 15, 2008

My g/f and I went to this place expecting a long wait, after walking in and putting our name down, we grabbed a beer. Before I could pay for it they called our name. It was busy but we got right in.
We ordered crab cakes which were awesome! I got the shrimp pompano and it was amazing! Will def go back before we leave. If you want a great server who has been doing it a while, is fast, on his game and knows everything on the menu top to bttm, with true advice of whats good.. ask for Mikey!

“Okay at best.”

Pompano's

Jun 9, 2008

During an hour wait, there was no bar service on the swamp-side deck, very inattentive service in the adjacent bar. The hostess led us to an unprepared table, laid the menus and our utensils wrapped in cotton napkins in a pile in the center of the table and left to gather enough chairs to accommodate our party. The wait staff was slow and required frequent reminders to follow through on our requests. The food was well prepared, but did not nearly live up to the billing of "The best food in Panama City Beach" nor was it good enough to warrant the price. Groups of eight or more are charged an obligatory 18% gratuity. Would never go back.

We were in Panama City Beach week of May 19th. We stopped in on a Saturday night,expecting a LONG wait and was pleasantly surprised by the 10 minute wait,and they were very busy. I ordered the coconut shrimp,and have to say it was the best I've ever had-anywhere ! Our server Cara was very pleasant and we really enjoyed talking to her. If you want great food and service try Pompanos.
