Views of the beach
Micah B.

I have no idea what is wrong with people that they'd give this place anything less than 4 or 5 stars? We thought the service was great and so was the food. We got an appetizer and drinks. I ordered a piña colada and the server recommended their special- a blueberry piña colada with an extra rum floater, it did not disappoint. We got chips and guacamole to snack on. It all came out quick and tasted so good! I love that it's only accessible by beach- it makes it feel more exclusive and really gives you the authentic beach bar experience. There were several locals there when we arrived (always a good sign). We are staying in Rosemary Beach and we thought the prices at CS's were very reasonable and refeshing. LOVED that you have amazing beach views and that it's all outdoor. Kick back, enjoy the views, the food, and the drinks. 11/10. Will definitely be coming back.

Our server was amazing and attentive. We settled on a cheeseburger and it did not disappoint. Albeit, I didn't snap a pic of the food, I did snap pics of the beach! Wonderful views.

Been coming here for over a decade!! We love the chips & guac. The freshest seafood around!!! Love the lobster on the lobster roll! The "roll" is actually just a hotdog bun... the fresh, tender lobster makes up for the hotdog bun! Burgers are great!! Pasta and potato salad are amazing. All the wraps...

What an incredible location and fun spot to dine while enjoying the beach. Love that our only access is directly while on the beach. I had their sides which were delicious potato salad, creamy coleslaw and tasty pasta salad. It hit the spot and I definitely recommend it. Service while sitting at the bar was great. Also, enjoyed a small bucket of frozen mixed berries margaritas. Will be back.

Blackened Grouper Sandwich w/ Sweet Potato Fries
Austin M.

True Rating- 3.3/5 Stars Solid for a beach bar. The food was pretty good. Service was great and pretty quick. There is not much seating, and nothing indoors, but again - beach bar. I had the blackened grouper sandwich, and it was great. So were the sweet potato fries. Others in my party had the Jerk chicken sandwich and the chicken tenders. As far as I heard, only the chicken tenders weren't good. Their cocktail also had way too much salt. Facilities were typical beach bar. Not too much to write home about. I do not know if there were any bathrooms. Biggest knock against the place is it is only accessible via the beach. Cost was a bit pricey for my blood - but that's okay. It was good so no complaints. NOTE: Star rating based on my own formula consisting of flavor, cost, facilities, service, and overall satisfaction. Reviews are subject to change based on future visits.

Daily specials

Crabby Steve's has a Gulf view with the freshest seafood on 30A! A short beautiful waters edge walk from Rosemary beach and who should have to talk you into a beach walk to get to great food, frozen cocktails, fresh daily fish choices and a fun staff! This is the place to get to for fun&food at the beach! Look for those beautiful aqua umbrella up top! Enjoy! Love it every time me & my friends go & we are locals! Rhonda makes everyone's vacation that much better with her happy self & frozen drinks!

You can't get to this restaurant. It's in front of a gated resort. Drove around for 20 minutes trying to find it. Finally just gave up.

You can only access via the beach. Every other way is gated. Besides that, cool spot. Nothing fancy.

Can you access Crabby Steve's by foot from 30A? Thru security? Currently staying across the street

No. We had to sneak through a private place. Also, had to hop a fence to get back. Fine for me. Not my mother in law.

Absolutely phenomenal experience! Maggie is out-of-this-world and truly made our experience extra…read morespecial. We agreed it wouldn't have been the same without her! She feels like a familiar old friend to us. The restaurant is beautiful and cozy. We loved sitting in the bar area. We ordered: -Bread Candle, 10/10 super yummy and well seasoned. -Ceviche, 20/10 Fresh and delicious -Fried Deviled Eggs, 9/10. Creative and tasty -Red Snapper entree, 10/10 best ever! The crust is to die for. Maggie made an amazing suggestion to sub truffle potatoes instead of fingerling which totally made the meal -Rock Shrimp Pasta - 10/10 for me. This was outstanding, eat it fast as the sauce can separate but amazing flavor -Carrot Cake - 8/10. CC isn't my fave but even I can appreciate its deliciousness A must experience when in Rosemary, and request Maggie if you can!

So good. Few things- you can book via Open Table for reservations but they require a credit card…read more Second, it's 18+ after 2:30 pm. We lucked out that they let us come with our two adult sons and one slightly younger since he was with his parents. Appetizers: ceviches, blackened crab legs, and butter candle. All were fantastic. Great flavor. Mains: I had the red snapper and took the server's recommendation to swap the fingerling potatoes for the truffled mashed potatoes. (Lighting in the picture isn't great, but it was divine.) My husband & one son had the filet, another had the pasta, and the last one had the pork chop. All were really good. Dessert: we sampled the chocolate torte, crème brûlée, and the key lime pie. All were good, but not standouts on their own.

First visit and we'll definitely be back…read more This was our first time at Shades Bar & Grill, and it was a great experience. We went with a group of seven and everything from the atmosphere to the food made it a really fun night out. The location and vibe are fantastic -- lively but relaxed, the kind of place where you can easily settle in with friends and enjoy a good meal. We started with appetizers for the table: calamari, onion rings, and volcano shrimp. All three disappeared quickly. The calamari was really good and normally comes served over jalapeños, but since I don't eat them the kitchen kindly put them on the side for us. The onion rings were fantastic, and the volcano shrimp had a little heat (which the spice lovers at the table really liked). For dinner I had the hibachi steak over fried rice with yum-yum sauce, cooked medium. It was excellent -- tender, flavorful, and a generous portion. Others in our group ordered the same dish and loved it as well. The chicken nachos were huge (normally an appetizer but easily a full meal) with really tasty queso that had a bit of spice. The burger and flatbreads at the table also got great reviews. We also tried the chocolate dessert bomb at the end (not sure of the exact name), and it was fantastic -- chocolate mousse and cake inside a chocolate shell with whipped cream. Definitely worth sharing. The drinks were great, the service was friendly, and the whole place had a welcoming feel. One thing we really appreciated as well: they offer a military discount, which was a nice touch. We're locals and this was our first visit, but it definitely won't be our last. Highly recommend if you're in the Panama City Beach / 30A area.

Food was absolutely delicious! We really enjoyed the volcano shrimp, shrimp and grits and lobster…read morecheese grill

It was a chain reaction. They were debuting a new menu, so the kitchen was a bit slow. Our server was either being trained or training someone new--not totally sure.

Cooked perfectly and a melody of tasts coming together in every single bite. Service was attentive and the decor was spot on that vibe from Havanna. However, I looked at the wall seeing the famous mug shot of Frank Sinatra from Bergen County NJ and wondered what was that all about? So, I "searched" on AI and discovered something I didn't know before: The Havana Beach Bar & Grill draws its inspiration directly from El Floridita, a legendary bar in Havana, Cuba, famous as a hangout for Ernest Hemingway and emblematic of the city's vibrant mid-20th-century nightlife scene. This ties into a broader theme of celebrating Cuba's golden era of cocktails, cuisine, and revelry, with menu influences from Caribbean and Gulf Coast flavors that evoke that spirit. Frank Sinatra's inclusion in the decor isn't random--it's a deliberate nod to his well-documented ties to Havana during the 1940s and 1950s. He visited Cuba multiple times, performed at iconic venues like the Tropicana and Hotel Nacional, and was part of the celebrity and mob-influenced social scene there. Notably, in February 1947, Sinatra traveled to Havana for what was publicly a gala event but was actually a cover for a major mob conference attended by figures like Lucky Luciano and the Fischetti brothers; he even arrived with a suitcase of cash and entertained at the gathering. Places like Havana's Hotel Nacional still display photos of him today as a famous visitor from that pre-revolutionary period. The specific use of his 1938 Bergen County mug shot (from an arrest on outdated charges of "seduction" involving a married woman) adds a layer of edginess, fitting the restaurant's evocation of Havana's glamorous yet gritty underworld vibe during the mob's heyday in Cuba. It's an iconic image often used in vintage decor to highlight Sinatra's rebellious early persona, which aligns with the era's celebrity lore that the restaurant channels amid its otherwise Cuba-focused elements.
