    We stopped here because it looked like a great place to be- and we were right. Very friendly, great service and just a all around fun place to be. We had THE BEST Bloody Mary ever. Tell Shannon Hi!!! She was also an exceptional bartender

    As much as I wanted to fall in love with this potential honey hole, the bartender created a repulsive atmosphere. I will not be returning.

    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.

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.
