Panama City, Florida
Bay County · 334 restaurants
Panama City is still rebuilding from Hurricane Michael's catastrophic 2018 landfall, and its 320 restaurants reflect a Panhandle community in recovery, with downtown's historic St. Andrews district leading much of the revitalization along Beck Avenue. Naval Support Activity Panama City and Tyndall Air Force Base bring a steady military population that supports casual seafood houses and neighborhood restaurants across the city. St. Andrews Bay's commercial fishing heritage still shows up on local menus, even as the broader city works to rebuild its restaurant inventory nearly a decade after the storm.

Important context for city pages
City pages are comparison tools built from public Florida DBPR inspection data. They help surface local patterns quickly, but they are not official government rankings and they should not replace reading the individual restaurant page before making a decision.
