If you're on the hunt for Vietnamese flavor gems in Panama City, Mr. Pho is a winner. From the…read moremoment you walk in you sense they take pride in their space : it's always clean and "unPHOgettable" merch jokes and cutely drawn wall facts make you grin as you wait for your food. Let's talk food: the pho is solid (their P1 Mr. Pho Combination with multiple meats is a go-to). But don't sleep on the wings! Their fish sauce wings are so good! If you love fish sauce you'll def enjoy the tangy and crisp from these. My partner once got the claypot with Chinese sausage and still raves about it (seriously, I'm jealous of the leftovers I didn't get). What elevates the place, though, is the service. The staff always seem genuinely happy to help , are welcoming, attentive & knowledgeable.The ambiance is comfortable casual. All in all: flavor, friendliness is solid. Highly recommend for pho lovers, wing fans, or anyone craving a dish that hits the soul (and the stomach).

We would come back!!!

We have found out that American Charlie has a new owner so we decided to try them out. We were…read morepleasantly surprised at the new changes and the food was extremely good. The first thing I noticed is that they scaled the menu back which was a blessing. I remember before that you had to read a book to get through the menu before. The new menu has a great variety of items and I didn't miss anything that they might have had before. The restaurant itself is fun. Lots of memorabilia on the walls but not in a claustrophobic way. Tables are nice and clean and the bar is beautiful. Everyone looked like they were having a good time. Our food server was nice, friendly and talked to us like we were regulars (loved that). We started out with drinks and we had the Sangria, and a couple of their signature cocktails that I can't remember the names. All were very refreshing. Food: We started out with quite a few appetizers: Coconut Shrimp: Great big shrimps, coating was perfect but I would use a tad more coconut (IMO). Tuna Dip: Wonderful smokey flavor and tasted really fresh and came with homemade chips. Pimento Dip: Oh my gosh it was delicious. I didn't even want to try this one but one of the people in our party likes pimento, so we did. It was sooooo good. I found out it has 4 different cheeses in it and it also comes with the homemade chips. Onion Rings: These onion rings were in the perfect batter. They were not greasy but they were crunchy and they used great tasting onions. I remember the previous onion rings being so thick and greasy I was so happy with the new version. We also had the Spinach Artichoke Dip and once again it was very tasty. Entrees: Pot Roast: So delicious!!! Tender pot roast and it came on a bed of mashed potatoes and cooked carrots and onions and I think celery. The gravy was delicious and they gave you plenty of it. Steak: It was a pretty big steak and very tender. Hubs gave it a 4 out of a 5. Baked potato was loaded and could have fed a family of 4. Catfish Basket: I had never had catfish before and I nibbled on our friend's entree and it was really really good. I give this place a 5 out of a 5 and we WILL be back.

My husband got a house salad to start and a shrimp platter for his entree. The shrimp was delicious and not too greasy. He would have preferred the salad as a side and will do that next time. I got the Étouffée with shrimp, sausage and chicken - it was delicious. The side of French bread was super fluffy as well; it tasted like their croutons were made from the same bread. The service was stellar! Our server didn't push us to order and gave us the opportunity to ask questions. She waited on our whole section and was always thoughtful and let tables know when she'd be asking them to wait a few minutes while she served another table. We'll definitely be back!

Ferrucci Ristorante was opened by Mike Ferrucci in 1995 as a small mom-and-pop Italian spot with…read morejust 60 seats. It's since grown to a 150-seat restaurant at 301 Harrison Ave in downtown Panama City. Mike has since retired and handed the restaurant off to new owner Matt Harbison, who's kept it going. It holds a Tripadvisor Travelers' Choice award and has been called the best restaurant in Bay County by locals. The food lives up to that reputation. We started with the fresh mozzarella ball appetizer with prosciutto and peppers, along with the bruschetta -- both great openers that set the tone for the rest of the meal. The homemade pasta is clearly a point of pride and it shows -- the spaghetti bolognese was rich and well balanced, and the chicken parm was done right, with fresh mozzarella melted over a well-breaded cutlet. Grilled shrimp was a great lighter option alongside the heavier pasta dishes. Finished with the ricotta cheesecake, a nice twist on the usual cheesecake that leans into the restaurant's Italian roots rather than playing it safe. A genuine downtown Panama City institution, and the homemade pasta alone makes it worth the visit.

Located in downtown Panama City, it's in heart of the city and there a lot of stuff to walk to and visit like bars and a really neat retro arcade. As for the food, not impressed. I got the fettuccine Alfredo. It was decent but not remarkable. For dessert, I got the cheesecake and that was not very good. However, I must put an asterisk to the dessert--it was a ricotta cheesecake. I prefer cheesecakes made with cream cheese. You might enjoy the ricotta style; I do not. The service was an acceptable. She checked on me regularly but wasn't friendly in the sense that she engaged me with friendly greetings when I sat down. She didn't say anything like, "Welcome to Ferrucci's. Etc..". The most egregious demerit about the service was when the cheesecake was delivered. The person who delivered it looked like one of the kitchen staff and the spine of the spoon was touching the cheesecake (see pictures). That may not be a big deal to some, but to me is unprofessional. The hostess staff was awesome! They got me seated in about 5 minutes by doing a quick cleanup on a nearby table. Very happy with that. I didn't finish any of the main course or dessert. I had it boxed, paid the bill and split. When I got to the hotel, I dumped it because I wasn't excited about eating it as a leftover. Italian food is my favorite and if I don't want the leftovers, it wasn't that remarkable. I might try it again when I'm back in town. The kitchen and wait staff may have had an "off" night. We'll see.

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.
