I had such a great experience at The Wicked Wheel! The food came out hot, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and checked on us the perfect amount without hovering. The vibe inside is fun, clean, and very family-friendly. I definitely see why this place stays busy — everything from the service to the portions was on point. I’d absolutely come back again!

After seeing the reviews for this place I decided to check it out for Friday night dinner. It was well packed, service was good from beginning to end and the food was delicious. We spent about $80. Got two cocktails, Chicken fried chicken, fish platter and the buffalo chicken dip. Portions were a nice size, quality was hot, fresh and seasoned to perfection. I will keep this place in mind when visiting PCB.

Visited last night and loved everything about it. Food was excellent, served hot and presented beautifully. Our server, though we can’t recall her name, was engaging and helpful. She’s from Cincinnati and we’re from Ohio so maybe that will help I had the amazing chicken sandwich, hubby had the catfish and fried okra. Atmosphere of motorcycles was fun! Only recommendation is that they make an appetizer platter because we wanted to try all of them! All was great! Highly recommend!

Great place for some comfort food and a good vibe‼️ Panama city beach is no doubt a town full of your typical tourist traps. yet, this is a locally owned establishment that can definitely scratch the itch of an empty stomach. Of course went off the bartenders recommendation and grabbed their highly reputable fried chicken and I opted for the red beans and rice as a side. Man, the chicken was definitely good. the red beans and rice tho….. phenomenal had a pour of E H Taylor for desert, so bourbon selection was there Dave the bartender was a great host! and lemme tell you. A regular came in and bought everyone at the bar a drink of choice, so the southern hospitality …. is all I can say. Great place, check it out if your in PCB ‼️

I’ve been coming to PCB for decades, and the only “bad” thing I have to say is that this is the only time I’ve ever been able to get into Wicked Wheel. Usually, we come in the height of summer and there’s like a 3 hour wait just to get to the hostess… Anyway, no wait tonight in September. We sat at the bar. Dave our bartender was awesome. Seemed a little too polite and professional for the atmosphere of the place, almost like he used to work at a high end hotel. But great service throughout the entire meal.
For the meal, we started off with the garlic cheese curds which were a solid 7.5 out of 10. My wife got the candied bacon bbq burger, and I got the wicked hot chicken sandwich. Both were good. The chicken on mine was MASSIVE. We got a key lime pie for dessert, which if you like key lime pie, sorry to say, you might want to skip it here. The crust was pretty awful, but the filling was OK.
For drinks, my wife got the bloody Mary which was good, and I got one of their signature concoctions in a souvenir mug because Panama City. After one and a half, the grain alcohol started to kick in.
All in all, not a bad experience at all. Would definitely come again if there is no line.

This place is decorated with a fun and cool automotive theme. They even have a gift shop! My friends and I really enjoyed the food. We had the fried green tomatoes (loved them with the wicked sauce!), the cheese curds (DELICIOUS!), the fried bay scallops plate (I made them spicy with pepper sauce – so good!), the fried green tomato BLT (home run!), the grilled chicken breast plate (great!), and the mandarin walnut salad (bursting with flavor!). Pablo was our server, and he was awesome – patient, friendly, personable, and attentive. If you live in or are visiting Panama City Beach, I recommend!

We had a weekend in Panama City, and we stopped at The Wicked Wheel for our last dinner. First of all, the food was wonderful, and the waiters were very kind. But there’s more I want to share here. I left my bag, along with my wallet, credit cards, and ID, at The Wicked Wheel. We then set off for Tennessee. However, when I arrived in Tennessee, I realized I’d forgotten my bag. I reached this restaurant, and they told me I’d left it there. They kept it safe and even shipped it to me. They even included a t-shirt and a sticker as a gift.
I was incredibly panicked and heartbroken when I thought I’d lost my bag, but they turned this bad experience into an incredibly beautiful one.
I’d like to thank the entire team here; it meant so much to me. I hope you always come across very nice people too!

Went here after some family pictures while in PCB area. Half our party got there and they wouldn’t let us sit until the entire party was there so be aware of that.
The atmosphere is great and they have lots of seating, including both inside and outside.
Our waitress started out great and then seemed to lose enthusiasm as our meal progressed.
Really loved the menu selections as well as the drinks. Everything was very reasonably priced and the food was great and nobody had a bad option. We got the chicken wings, burger, flounder, Cajun mac & cheese, and a couple kids meals, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their food.
Great place if you’re looking for good food and drinks and a good atmosphere . . . we will be back

Visited here a few weeks ago while on vacation in PCB Fl. The place was extremely busy and I was really surprised at how quickly we were seated. I had chicken and waffles which were flavorful and some of the best, creamiest cheese grits I have ever had.
