We were staying at Holiday Campground and decided to walk over to Angelos for dinner. We were seated right away but they were a bit busy for a Wednesday night. We started with Fried Green Tomatoes with Deviled Crab and they were huge and very yummy. He ordered Shrimp Scampi with angel hair pasta. I had the fried shrimp and flounder. It was so good. The cheesy grits were a little bland but everything else was so good. Our waitress was Mai and she did a great job. read more

Don't let the bad reviews scare you, this is a very nice place to eat! Unique dishes that you can't find anywhere else around here. I got the crab meat au gratin which was super unique. Also had the nutty Colada which was basically a Pina colada with amaretto, and then had my very first coconut creme pie. The only thing is that our food took a while but if you don't mind the wait, it's a great view and meal. read more

There has been a restaurant at this location since before I was born. I think the original was built in the '40s. I was told that the restaurant was built over the water so it could take advantage of Franklin County being wet and sell alcohol. Stand in the parking lot in Wakulla County and you better not have any booze on you. Walk into the restaurant out over the water and you could quench your thirst. Is it any wonder that it was a popular drive even from Tallahassee to dine. It's still a wonderful drive for delicious food on the water. Angelo's website tells me it was George's Grill and Bar at the start. It was Faiver's Restaurant when I came here right into the '70s at least. It became Angelo's in 1985 after extensive renovations. All of these versions have been owned by the same family. In 2005 Hurricane Denis damaged the old building. I remember seeing pictures of the missing floor throughout the restaurant. The damage was bad enough that the building had to be torn down. Amazingly, the family was able to rebuild while meeting new building codes for coastal buildings. It's much higher off the water now on a solid concrete foundation. It does mean it's a bit of a climb to the doors but there's an elevator for those of us that find that challenging. Once you get up there you will be rewarded with indoor and outdoor waterfront seating on Ochlockonee Bay. It's one of very few waterfront dining options available near Tallahassee these days. We have dined there a couple of times recently and it's always good food and good service. This last visit I discovered an off menu option for Costa Rican Amberjack. The waitress did me a tremendous favor when she mentioned it when I asked about the Charbroiled Amberjack that is on the menu. Besides the absolutely amazing presentation for the dish (check out my photo), it is equally delicious. One of a few destination dishes that so impressed me that I would drive specifically to get them. Like the Chipotle Pork Chops at Habana Boardwalk, the Spaghetti Bolognese at Mimmo's in Destin, the Ribs at Charlie Verdugo's Rendevous in Memphis and the Firecracker Pork Fusilli at Fuzio Universal Bistro in Modesto. The fish was perfectly grilled and the sauces and rice and black beans were a tasty addition. The wife enjoyed the Popcorn Shrimp appetizer and I gave her my cheese grits side. The shrimp are good sized popcorn shrimp and they are lightly floured rather than buried in batter. We have tried most of their fried seafood options and all were good. I would even recommend the Buffalo Backs appetizer using grouper and snapper backbones although I had it when it was an entree special. You will not find a better dining option on the water in our area. read more

The food was delicious and the service was great. It was a beautiful day to sit out by the water

Very slow service but very good food! Should be able to make reservations! Very nice waitress, had pretty good service. Just too long a wait to get in! read more

Super overpriced for how bland the food was. I paid $26 for a chicken alfredo that was the most bland pasta I've ever had. My friends got burgers which were pretty average tasting, and for $15 they were no good. Also we asked for medium rare and it came out very much well done. The fries were the only good thing there. The restaurant sits by a body of water so you're really just paying for the location. Service was also a little slow, it was also dead inside on Memorial day. read more

Manage your expectations and you will have a good time. Your in the countryside now! We joined the early birds on hump day at 4.30pm and got a great seat outside on the water. The breeze and view were lovely. Paul our server was enthusiastic, professional and knowledgeable giving a mixture of personal opinion and fact on Amberjack V Scamp. We went with the blackened scamp and it was cooked perfectly. Seafood gumbo started us off but a little salty for our taste. Perfect martinis washed it down. The restaurant is huge and plenty of room inside and al fresco. From the moment you walk in its a grand welcome. We did feel a little overpriced for the area so do check out the menu before you get there to avoid surprises. This is old school charm in a great setting. do not judge from the road, the views looking outwards are much better. Again, the professionalism of the severs is second to none. read more

What a wonderful old Florida seafood dining experience this was! This scenic restaurant reminds me of my childhood and should be on your list to visit if you are in the Panacea, Florida area. I saw many FSU students, so even if you are looking for a nice seafood dinner in Tallahassee, the drive is worth it. We started with the smoked fish dip and it was amazing. We like to fancy ourselves as fish dip connoisseurs and this ranks up there with some of my favorites. It is super fine textured and comes with pickled onions, cucumbers and crackers. I added some hot sauce but it didn't need it. For my main dish I got the Florida lobster with deviled crab and it was fabulous. It came with three large pieces and was very filling with the salad and side. We got pie because it is made from scratch and it did not disappoint! The key lime and peanut butter were amazing. Our server May was so nice and friendly. She had some regulars at a table next to us and was kind and chatty with them. She did not know us and took our joking and jovial manner very well and we appreciated it. The drinks were filled very quickly, which I was thankful for because I was hot and dehydrated and I was keeping her busy just with that task. This is a beautiful restaurant for sitting outside and enjoying a sunset but we sat inside since were hot and tired and still had a wonderful dining experience. Highly recommend! read more

Another delicious dinner and sunset at Angelo's! Shout out to our wonderful server, Jessica! She was working hard busting butt all night! I don't know how she kept up but she did. Exceptional service! Of course the food was delicious local raw oysters, grouper, shrimp and more. Loved the grouper chowder. read more

Good service But the food was poor. Apparently they didn't clean the pan... at all... The octopus wasn't good Good soup read more

Overall a really good experience! We started with drinks (Panacea Painkiller and White Sangria) and chargrilled grouper throats which were excellent and HUGE! We're used to getting 6-8 smaller throats in an order; this time we got only 2 but they were massive with lots of meat on them. For entrees, we tried a combo sampler with shrimp, scallops, and deviled crab. I wish we would've passed on the crab because it was mostly stuffing/breading inside. Others at the table got the chargrilled grouper and shrimp and said everything was excellent. Rave reviews for the gumbo and the black beans and rice, although the sides were served mostly cold. Hush puppies seem to be a flour mix instead of a cornmeal mix. All in all, we left way too full and the bill was around $175 for 4 of us. read more

Internet Reviews said Angelo's was Pet friendly. Used to eat here back in the 90's. Was in the area and drove 17 miles to be turned away because the said they don't allow pets when there is a wait list. So do not take your Pet with you. They are not Pet friendly. What does having to wait for a table have to do with allowing a Pet at the outside seating? read more

Simply the best seafood within a 100 miles . Ambiance is fine although somewhat crowded as they stay very busy because it's so good. Go early or prepare to wait a while. The food is to die for. Doesn't matter what you order, snapper, grouper, amberjack, scamp are all fresh and tasty. We have always had excellent service at Angelo's, professional and efficient. Would rate as a 6 STAR if there were another STAR available.if you go to Angelo's you will not be disappointed read more

update " Well after 5 years of great meals we didn't get the same food as years before. yesterday and today over cooked and today really overcooked. very sad maybe different cooks doing this fish. fish can't be overcooked or you will loose flavor and texture. I really thought it was frozen not fresh but they said it was fresh . read more

We love this restaurant. Been coming my whole life. I highly recommend the gumbo. There's nothing like seafood straight from the boat to the table! read more

Love this restaurant .It is my go to for anything seafood. From service to food you can't go wrong everything is great !

Just not the same as before. Very expensive and the food quality is just not like it was in the past. Love the location and friendly staff, but they need to step up the game on the taste and quality of their food. read more

Wonderful food and stunning views! The stuffed snapper was absolutely incredible fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Highly recommend!

If you ever make it to the panhandle outside Tallahassee, take a short drive to Panacea to Angelo's. Luckily, we decided to get there early for a outside bay view and sunset . Within an hour after arrival they were packed without one empty seat. If you are a carnivore or fish lover you will love this place. My family enjoys steaks and seafood so they went for both. I absolutely love the family style Greek salad that served 6 to 8.That was complimented by amazing sides like cheese grits and lightly fried hush puppies. Angelo's gives very hearty portions so go there with a hungry appetite. Even though I gave up meat and seafood 7 years ago, there were plenty of other options to satisfy even the pickiest of appetites. They even offer a few interesting choices in wines to compliment your meal . A huge shout out to Jade for the exemplary service given to our table. She brought our selections back quickly after ordering and even offered a few choices we might not have had if not for her suggestions . Thank you to Angelo's for making our night so special with the spectacular views and excellent service. Next time in town, will definitely be back! read more

If you could add a spectacular view with unbelievably fresh seafood you would have Angelos Seafood. This place did not disappoint. Their signature seafood choices such as charbroiled grouper with amazing sides such as fresh Greek salad and cheese grits were enough to satisfy your appetite. Jade our incredible server made our dining experience memorable as it was for a beautiful birthday outing and even offered wine choices to compliment our meal. We had extra servings of the best hush puppies we had ever had . The temperature of our food came out perfect which can make or break your meal. The attention to details , accuracy of the meal and checking on enough to make sure we were happy with our meal made our evening. The next time we visit Tallahassee we will definitely make the short drive to Angelos Seafood in Panacea. read more

I went to celebrate my birthday at one of my favorite restaurants. Angelo & Son's Seafood Restaurant in Panacea was the first seafood restaurant I went to when I moved to Tallahassee from Puerto Rico and my first delicious fried Flounder. Since then I have decided to go there at least once a year and every year this place hasn't disappointed me one day. The freshness of all the seafood and sides is superb quality. If you're new in Tallahassee or someone that needs to get out of town and enjoy a beautiful day and eat good seafood you should visit Angelo's in Panacea. The place is very clean from the front doors to the bathrooms. All the staff is well trained and very charismatic. Don't forget to try the house dressing for your side salads and the amazing hush puppies. Enjoy the delicious food and have fun! read more

The food and service are excellent!! The Greek salad is amazing. Seating with a water view is extra special.

I was privileged to visit Angelo's Seafood Restaurant. The food was amazing including the water! The grouper was perfectly cooked. The oysters were succulent. The shrimp was extremely tasty. The service was perfect. The Ambiance was breathtaking! Everything was Awesome! read more

This place is all the rage... apparently. Clean. Nice view and friendly service, but the food fell flat for me. Nothing wrong, but just fried seafood. Since I live on the Gulf and can get grilled/blackened/fried EVERYWHERE, I had the shrimp creole (a "house specialty ") for a twist. Not much about which to get excited besides some shrimp and tomatoes. Not bad but not great. This place fills up fast so get there early. I just don't get the buzz other than it's a local business and the only option around. I'd go back but only out of convenience. read more

Love the Scamp Imperial always a 10/10! Service was prompt and on point. Wait time was minimal

Very disappointing. Not what it used to be. Atmosphere and staff were great but blue cheese martini was too sweet to drink, margarita was all mixer and awful. Crab stuffing had little crab and run through a blender, canned green beans, curdled lemon sauce. Just embarrassing read more

As good as advertised! Opens at 4:00 on Saturday, I got there 4:15 and it was full. There wasn't a long wait and the outdoor seats with a great view of the water go fast. I had fried grouper and shrimp - great! They were GREAT! I enjoyed the red beans & rice, as well. An additional order of hush puppies would be icing on the cake! The surprise were the Rockefeller shrimp! The absolute best outside of New Orleans, hands down! I will 100% go back and 100% I'll have those oysters! The best restaurants in Tallahassee are not in Tallahassee! Drive to the shore on Panacea or across the state lines to Thomasville!! read more

Our experience here tonight was outstanding in every way, so I am truly shocked by the current average 3.4 star rating. I think I am pretty picky and this place is WAY better than 3.4. Our wait on a Friday night was both pleasant and short. We were seated in about 15 minutes and their seating process was efficient. We ordered Angelo's Oysters as an appetizer. All I can say is OMG. There were over two dozen oysters on this plate, so well worth the $22 price tag. They charbroiled the oysters in a Worcestershire sauce with fresh parsley, onions and garlic. Sorry about the photo below, but we were so excited that we ate most of it before I remembered to take a photo. If you like oysters, make sure you get this one. We next had our salads which we upgraded to Greek for an extra $4 each. WOW...it was perfect with their homemade Greek dressing. The message is...don't be cheap...pay the $4 and upgrade...you'll be glad you did! Even though we are both mostly full and very happy, we get our entrees. We ordered Snapper Imperial and the 1/2 Seafood Platter. The former was wonderful. The latter was excellent as well (and when you see the photos below, remember this a 1/2 platter). The homemade tartar and cocktail sauces just added more flavor even though the entrees didn't need it. We ate about half of our portions because we really wanted dessert even though I really wanted to keep eating them. Good call on leaving room for dessert. Most of the desserts sounded great, but we have a thing for key lime pie. It was perfect...great fresh taste with graham cracker crust and whipped cream. I know that someone's grandmother made it...it was that good. We have been going to this restaurant for over 30 years (I took my wife here when we were dating). Given this was our 33rd wedding anniversary, we have been here a few times over the years. While the new building is very nice and captures the spirit of the coast, I do miss the old building a bit. But the food and service is a great as it ever was and we have some great memories of this restaurant. Tonight was no exception and will serve as another great memory of great food, great service and a great overall experience. read more

My husband and I dined at Angelo's on Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024. We arrived early--shortly after they'd opened for dinner and were seated promptly. The service was good. We have no complaints about that. And our salads were fine. But my husband ordered a simple pasta Alfredo. He took one bite and said, this is awful. No taste. I urged him to stir it up a bit and try again. He did, but still couldn't eat it. To all appearances it looked something from a jar. I'd ordered shrimp and scallops. They didn't arrive hot--just a bit lukewarm, but they were still tasty. My green beans were on the cool side. I pushed them aside after a couple of bites. Hush puppies were okay. Nothing to write home about in a part of the country where hush puppies are way above average at just about every eatery. The restaurant did offer to prepare another entree for my husband but the Alfredo left a bad taste in his mouth. They removed his dinner from our bill without us asking them to. We'd eaten at Angelo's once several years ago and had an excellent meal that night. Not sure what has changed. We live in Tallahassee and I doubt we'll make another trip to Angelo's. read more

Good took over 1 hour from time we sat down after already waiting an hour and the portion size was nothing! This was my birthday dinner and I could not be anymore let down. I got maybe half a cup of noodles for my shrimp feta that I ordered. read more
