A wonderful restaurant in Panama City Beach! It seems like the entire resort gathers here for dinner, so I highly recommend booking a table in advance. The menu is excellent, and you can really tell they use very fresh ingredients. The Yummy Roll was so delicious that we ended up ordering it twice! A must-visit spot in the area.”

Saltwater Grill is the most amazing restaurant I’ve ever stepped foot into. From the moment we stepped in the door, I was amazed. There’s a beautiful aquarium right when you walk in, and you are greeted with smiling faces at the host stand. The Blueberry Lemon drop was absolutely delicious. We got the fish dip appetizer, and it was fresh and addicting with the made in house pita chips! I also have never been more impressed with the server, who made our night one to remember!

The restaurant was almost full on Thursday evening, and we were lucky to get in without a reservation. Cozy atmosphere, good service, and a large, varied menu featuring seafood, sushi rolls, and a solid selection of meat dishes. Highly recommended if you’re in the Panama City Beach area.

Went to saltwater grill for my 23rd birthday. The food and drinks were delicious. I got the panned chicken, garlic infused mashed potatoes, and roasted carrots which I recommend! I also had a blueberry lemon drop which was delicious! Service wasn’t the greatest, we definitely had to track our server down multiple times, but I would go back. The restaurant is beautiful, i got great photos.

Had such a great dinner here! Our server Allison was super sweet & attentive. I ordered the filet mignon and my husband got the prime rib—both were insanely tender & literally melted in your mouth. It’s definitely a little pricey, but totally worth it for a special treat. Would definitely come back!

It was good food but maybe a little overpriced. I ordered imperial grouper which was well cooked. My husband got prime rib. He said it was tasty. The asparagus and green beans were average. Creme brule was so so. The waitress was friendly and attentive but still learning. Over all, it was a good experience.

Easily the best seafood restaurant I have ever visited. The quality of the food is excellent with attentive waitresses that ensured my glass was never empty. Finishing off my excellent Grouper with a skillfully prepared Crème Brûlée made my already fantastic dinning experience the pinnacle of perfection.

We came here for Sunday brunch at Saltwater Grill and it was such a treat! The atmosphere is beautiful — the whitewashed walls, blue accents, and lush flowers made the outdoor area feel like we were transported straight to Greece. ✨ Live music set the perfect mood while we enjoyed our mimosas.
We started with a fresh Caesar salad and a Greek yogurt parfait with berries — both light and delicious. For mains, I had the shrimp & grits (so flavorful with the perfect kick!) while my hubby loved the Saltwater Bennie, which came with perfectly cooked eggs and tasty crab cake and potatoes. Everything was presented beautifully and tasted amazing.
The whole experience felt relaxing and elevated at the same time. Can’t wait to come back soon to try their dinner menu!

First visit. The fish tank wall is interesting. As for food, it was ok. The lobster egg rolls were good. Lobster bisque a little better than good. Husband thought the shrimp with grit cake was very good as he was sweating while eating it. A bit hot for his tastes. I ordered poorly with the salad add on shrimp. $30 for a sad Greek salad with 4 over cooked shrimp is insulting. The reason for three stars is that all the shrimp was well over cooked. Tough. A seafood restaurant should get this right out of everything. I wouldn’t return for anything that we ate.

Saltwater Grill was such a fun find in Panama City! The outdoor ambience was perfect — cozy seating, string lights, and fire pits that made the evening feel relaxed and inviting. It’s the kind of place where you can linger, enjoy the night air, and just soak in the atmosphere.
The food was absolutely amazing. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — from entrées to dessert. They had a great variety of choices, and it was clear that attention was paid to both taste and presentation. Pairing that with their cocktail selection made it an all-around great dining experience.
The combination of excellent food and cool outdoor vibes makes Saltwater Grill a must-visit when in Panama City. Perfect for a night out with friends, family, or even a casual date night.
