    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.

    Carnitas frisbee

    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.

    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 !

    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!

    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!

    Peach jalapeño margarita

    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.

    Beer was excellent albeit over priced, tacos were very good, staff was nice, atmosphere was fun. Not gonna rush back...

    Super fun vibe, great beer and amazing art. Definitely stop by if you are in the area.

    Great vibe here.

    Nacho Mama's Nachos for the win!! Hard to mess up nachos but also hard to make nachos that stand out and El Weirdos has done exactly that. Drinks on point! I had the Weirdo in da Choppa Hazy - excellent. It was Bingo night...what a fun chill atmosphere. Service was great!!

    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! They offer a biggg selection of loose leaf tea and it seemed popular with a lot of people that came in for it. 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!

Boy, they didn't disappoint and were on it in all phases tonight. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a cheerful staff. They asked where we wanted to sit and then one of the hostesses took us to our seats. From there Bri took over!!! She was very polite and knowledgeable of the menu. She told us about the specials and also items she recommended. We had the calamari to start. It was light, crispy and paired great with the two dipping sauces that accompanied it. Then we had the dinner special which was the blackened redfish in a delicious tomato sauce and the Parmesan flounder. We also had the mashed potatoes, red beans and rice and hushpuppies. Everything was delicious! The fish was cooked to perfection and the sauces on both dishes were amazing. The red beans and rice were way better than anything in New Orleans. It was flavorful and had plenty of sausage to put everything together. The mashed potatoes were very good also. If I had to say something needed a little help, I would say add just a little butter to those potatoes and they will be even better. We had dessert to go and I had the dream pie. I can't say enough about this pie. Bri told me I would love it and she was correct. It is definitely a must on my next visit. It was savory and creamy at the same time. If you're in the area, please put this restaurant on your list. You won't be disappointed. Ask for Bri!! She is amazing and also the young ladies at the front were the best group of hostesses that I've seen in a long time. Oh, the live music and as also great.
