The Shrimp Boat is simply the best restaurant in Bay County. I cannot fathom the poor reviews posted, except to think that perhaps they were written by the competition. We have been there several times and every time the service was excellent and the food delicious. Tonight I had oak-fired grouper - fresh, fresh, fresh; a delicious salad; fresh-steamed broccoli; yummy hush-puppies; fresh and delicious rolls with real butter and probably the best creme brulee dessert I've had anywhere. You won't find any restaurant in Panama City with an atmosphere this nice, and I could practically move into the ladies room! LOL Tonight we had a party of 8, and the tab was under $300, with gratuities, including drinks.
Those other folks have no taste...I ate at The Shrimp Boat this weekend and loved it. I had the Scallops and my mother had the grouper panama that was out of this world. Loren (Loren Smith the owner) did an awesome job with this new establishment. Way to go!
We ate at the Shrimp Boat and were VERY disappointed. It was very expensive (up there with Capt. A) and the seafood was borderline spoiled. It had that taste and that bad smell. It was actually ready for the trash and should not have been served. Not a pleasant experience overall. I must tell you to avoid this place!
