    Steak taco
    Sean T.

    If you find yourself in Panama City you should definitely visit El Weirdo. If you're visiting Panama City Beach you should also make the 30-40 minute drive to visit El Weirdo. Unique artwork, bright colors, friendly staff, great patio, delicious food, yummy drinks. It has it all. And we went on a Wednesday night and there was Bingo going on that night as well. The food was made with fresh ingredients and it was amazing. And they had one of the best PB&J beers that I have ever had. I really enjoyed the two IPA's I had as well.

    On a recent trip here for a quick getaway, we ate here for lunch. El Weirdo is such an eclectic venue with cool art and an 80s vibes. There was so much to take in! From old lunchboxes that served as cutlery holders, to small screen box tvs, to an old beater car parked on the premises, it's truly a sight to behold. Get your phone ready to take lots of photos! You order inside, pay and your food is cooked in the little airstream/food truck that sits on the property and brought to your table. I ordered the Loaded Wizard fries and my friend ordered the steak quesadillas. The food...to be honest, was not the star of the visit. My fries were good, but I didn't care for the toppings. I would definitely try something a little more simple on a return trip. My guy echoed my sentiments about his dish. He remarked that it was "just ok". However, the service was on-point and the visuals make this a place you must visit if ever in Panama City and want an IG worthy photo opportunity. You may like the food too!

    Leave the 'tourist-trap' scene and come get a taste of relaxed fun at El-Weirdo! Reminded us of tge Deep Elm (ellum) area in Dallas, in a good way! Great food that is easy to understand and order, full bar, and friendly staff! The Tri-Fecta in a divey pub!! Two thumbs way up!

    Quirky, unique place in downtown Panama City. Didn't eat there but saw several folks ordering from there (order inside and sit outside) there is a food truck that makes the tacos, nachos. Next time will try their meals and see what they are like.

    Baby wizard (curly) fries!

    El Weirdo is easily one of my favorite spots in downtown PC. The space is equal parts taco heaven and funky art gallery. The vibe? Pure magic. Every inch, inside and out, is decked out in bold, weird, wonderful art. I spotted someone with a sea foam margarita that looked like a tropical dream & I am too adding that to my must-try list for next time! I usually stick to the steak tacos (still 10/10), but lately I've been branching out. The Wizard Fries were wild in the best way: layered, flavorful, messy... perfecto! And the miso Brussels sprouts? Ridiculously good. Like... crave-them-later good. Whether you're a taco purist or just want a fun place to hang, El Weirdo always delivers something colorful and delicious. Ps. The best service around! Thanks, EW Crew !

    Carnitas frisbee
    Elaine H.

    Super unique generously sized patio -(former school bus seats as benches) - drinks are good and service was fabulous and fast! Love the vibe - weird it is! Friendly staff with good recommendations. My husband's entree was the best dish. He had the carnitas frisbee (tostada) - super good! He also had a seafoam margarita (they whip salt and/or sugar into a foam). Very good. Really cute place playing 70's hits. My jam.

    Awesome local place with craft beers and tacos and appetizers. We enjoyed a few beers and shared the black bean dip with chips. Chips were very crispy and fresh and the dip was awesome. The place is full of cool art inside and out and even in the bathrooms. You order at the counter and they bring your drinks and food to you. The workers were nice and happy to be there. Definitely a unique place to check out if you are in downtown Panama City Beach.

    Yes, it's weird, but it's so cool. I love the vibe! I only had one beer, the west coast IPA, and it was pretty good. Enough hop flavor but not bitter. I did think it was weird (no pun intended) they don't list the IBU on the menu and the bartenders didn't know, either. He took a guess and said 68, but I would put it around 50. We didn't have any food so this rating is based on the vibe and beer alone. Solid place to get a beer.

    Chicken and steak tacos. Chicken really good. Steak amazing!
    Jason K.

    My wife and I were in Panama City, Florida and this place looked really cool. It was! We entered the establishment, and it was super cool, lots of good decorations on the wall and there is a whole back room. I ordered a beer. Yummy IPA, it made me happy. I then ordered some tacos, steak and chicken and they came out pretty fast. Really good service and I ordered another type of their IPA and it was just as good. Really fun place, good food and great beer! Loved it!

    Outside area!

    This is exactly the type of place I want to visit when on vacation! I love a quirky/artsy restaurant like this. The entire restaurant is full of very cool art and the food is so good. I got a cheese quesadilla with queso on the side and it was great! Service was quick and the menu is easy to navigate! This place is super cool inside and out, will definitely come back next year!

    Peach jalapeño margarita
    Gabriela Z.

    Food was average. Corn dip was very good but I didn't love my carnitas taco. Corn tortilla was cold and fell a part. Margarita was fabulous and a lot of their other drinks sounded great. Seth at the bar, took wonderful care of us! Decor in restaurant and outdoor area is so fun. Outdoor seating is old bus seats and indoor area has lots of cool, funky decor.

    We went to Thistle and Thorne on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the mini afternoon tea for two…read more It comes with two pots of premium loose leaf tea (we chose strawberry kiwi and birthday tea), two housemade scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam, and four classic finger sandwiches--cucumber and ham & provolone. My daughters loved the cucumber sandwiches--they tasted fresh and crisp. The ham and provolone had a mustard spread they didn't care for, and the bread was a little on the stale side. That said, the presentation on the two-tier platter was undeniably cute. Honestly though, the real win here is the vibe. It somehow blends traditional afternoon tea with hip coffee shop energy and just a hint of speakeasy moodiness. The "bar" lined with loose leaf teas instead of liquor bottles was such a fun touch (though yes, they do serve alcohol too if that's your thing). We sat in one of the window alcoves, which felt semi-private and made the whole outing with my daughters feel a little extra special. And the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf? Chef's kiss. Our server was attentive and cheerful, and mentioned they offer a full high tea once a month--which apparently sells out in five minutes (not surprising). But honestly, the mini tea (available Fridays and Saturdays) was just right for us.

Lo and behold the mimosas were on special and they had flavors like white peach, rose & lavender, cucumber basil & lime, blueberry and of course traditional OJ. The vibe is super cool inside!

Light food also available like a vegan soup, scone with clotted cream and jam and couple other items. Loved this place wil stop back again!

Our waitress was extremely attentive even as the place gets busy. If you're in PCB forget Dat other place and come here.
