Shawn makes the best Bloody Mary's on the beach. Spicy and hot like they are suppose to be. Go to the beach and make a day out of it. Lots of friendly people.

It was our 1st time to schooners, our hotel suggested this place, amazing view, good drinks, we love our new huge cups. Our first app was stuffed shrimp and was not impressive how ever the bubbly blonde waitress Suggested crab claws and we ended up getting two orders! Good lunch in all!

Good food ruined by bad chefs and served by indifferent waiters to the sound of loud music. Not my idea of a good night out but there were many people here who apparently do not agree with me.

Place has a nice open atmosphere for dining. Very scenic. Food was average as most places in Panama City but was a fun place to visit.

I had lunch at Schooners in April 2013. Enjoyed the fried grouper sandwich, which was very good. It is a little pricey at $16....but I still indulged. I have also had the crap claws there and there also were very good. ENough for 2 to split. The view is well worth it. Go to the back and sit by the... More

Ok, so we were there during Bike Week so the servers might have been little frazzled - but still. It wasn't crowded at all when we were there - we were able to walk right in and seat ourselves. Our waitress just chose to ignore our little party of four (all attorneys) in favor of her large table of Bikers.... More

Me and my family came here on vacation hopeing to catch the cajun fest that was being advertised on the radio. When we got there no kind of cajun anything. The cajun band was supposed to start at 9, but no kind of cajun food. I had the crab stuffed shrimp and it was ok. The cheese grits were awesome.... More

Schooner's has been a favorite Panama City Beach hangout for a long time. Eat lunch yards from "the world's most beautiful beaches." Live music at night. It is usually crowded in Spring & Summer but worth it.

Nice place on the beach. Nice layout and great sunset view (the cannon thing sounds much cooler than it is). Pricey and the food was mediocre. Watch out for the "best fish sandwich in the world".......ITS NOT AND AT MARKET PRICE......does not make for a happy ending. @ kids meals, 1 fish sandwich, 1 beer, 3 softdrinks and a shrimp... More

Although the atmosphere and live band were great... That's pretty much where the fun stops. The cocktails were tasty, but horribly overpriced (even with the souvenir cup) and the food was just plain awful. At a table of five, my seafood pasta was the only edible meal and I paid for it in the bathroom the rest of the night...... More
