Feb 22,2026. We stayed at Tidewater and one night we visited Waves bar and grill because we were tired and didn’t want to get our car out of the parking garage. Hoping for a good meal, we were so pleased. Our waiter was attentive and never wrote our order down and got it right. Food was really tasty and now my husband wants to find mango habanero sauce for grilling chicken. His mango habanero chicken sandwich was so good. My French dip was great too. The only negative was a group of drunk adults who came in and acted like they had never been in public before. Great bar/restaurant and it’s probably overlooked!

Mango Habanero sandwhich was so good, that i decided to start writing this while eating it, the House Seasoned fry’s were phenomenal and the staff were so nice to my mom and talked to her about her wedding happening today. All amazing.

Slowest place we’ve EVER been too and we’ve been around, we are trusted foodies. There was literally no one at the restaurant and the food took over an hour to come out, very very disappointing and there is literally no excuse for that. If you are doing it for convenience, it is going to take way longer than walking somewhere nearby. Avoid at all costs. Food was mediocre. The hash was smothered in cheese. I think they literally dipped the entire plate on cheese. It wasn’t horrible but definitely not worth the price and wait. The only positive is our server. She was very sweet on Saturday second weekend of August 2024. I didn’t catch your name but girl if you are reading this, you need to find a place were you can shine because you are awesome but the restaurant isn’t.

We come here every single day of the week for breakfast when we stay at Tide Water!
The servers are all so sweet and one of our servers even remembered how we split the check and didn’t even need to ask after only having us 1 time!
The breakfast sandwich with Canadian bacon is to die for. A must try!
We love it here!

Tacos are the move here! I got blackened mahi-mahi tacos they are probably my favorite yet in Panama City beach.the tortilla shells and even nicely grilled outside! The staff was prompt and helpful. And it’s 3 tacos. Most places is two. Excellent value. Upstairs at the hotel so may be a little confusing to get to.

I ordered the catch of the day with a salad. The catch of the day was grouper. It was very small and was pretty bland. My salad was put on top of the fish. I would have preferred those separated. I also ordered wings with the beach sauce. The wings with the beach sauce were good. I’d score those at least a 4 or 5.

The food was amazing! Our server was one of the best servers I’ve had in a long time! Wish I could remember her name but I know she’s worked there a decade.

A group of my friends and I came in on Saturday night. We had to wait at the bar area for 10 minutes before the bartender came over. We told them we had 4 dining in. Once she told us to pick a table, she didn’t come over for at least 6 minutes. I had to get up and go to the host stand and grab menus. All while a guy was sitting in a chair right next to the bar just watching us. The drinks were good, the server/ bartender was alright. My friend ordered onion rings with her meal, but received French fries instead. She got the meal as we were finishing up eating, so she didn’t mention anything. It was frustrating that the meal came at the very end because it was not intended to be a to go order. Weird that everything came out together except that order. I had some food to take home and once I heated it up the next day, I noticed the shrimp I had ordered were not deveined. I was shocked and disgusted that I ate almost the entire meal before noticing. The next day we came in for breakfast and once again service was very slow. The server was not very nice and never came back to ask about refills or to see if we had everything we needed. They tried to charge my friend for something she didn’t receive. They ended up taking the extra charge off, but again, it took a long time to have the bill fixed. All of us had empty cups half way through the meal, so it was very frustrating. The breakfast was not good at all. The bacon and hashbrowns were so over done. Another friend opened up her silverware and noticed it had food caked on it, so that was disgusting. My silverware had so many spots on it, it also looked dirty. Since we had a party of 6, there was an automatic gratuity fee added on of 20%. The server never once told us it would be added on to the bill. Overall, my friends and I were very dissatisfied with everything. The only perk I had was the first server forgot to charge me for my to go order on the first night. I got my to go order before my friend got her meal and I ordered my to go order later than her. Will not be back to this establishment.

We stay at this resort every year and Waves is a big reason why. The food is always delicious and the service is good. HOWEVER. I have to share a pretty bad experience. I went to get a drink one evening and stood there. My friend was served immediately. Then the bartender/waitress seemed to ignore me. 20 minutes of waiting later, she told me they were closed. I told her I had been standing here and just want a drink and she said, “yeah, we’re closed now.” HORRIBLE. I will say, that is my ONLY bad experience in years, but it’s one I won’t soon forget.

Took forever to be waited on and it wasn’t crowded. Took a long time to get our food, one of us didn’t get their dinner until the rest of us were finished eating. It was cold so it must’ve been sitting around for awhile. Also, the salad came out with no dressing, so we had to wait and couldn’t eat with others. Waitress offered us a piece of pie for our inconvenience, when we said yes, the manager said no! Unbelievable ! Overall experience wasn’t great. They did have a guitarist/ singer who was very good! And the view of the gulf was awesome.
