    We were sat outside and it was extremely loud with the live singer. We couldn’t hear each other at the table.

    We waited for 15 minutes for drinks. It was dirty. I’ve been to other Margaritaville restaurants, it was not like those.

    We had reservations and were seated quickly. Then the service stopped. We sat for 25 minutes and never had anyone come to our table. I asked the front stand if we had a waiter and they said they would get someone. 15min later still no one. We got up and left, they were not busy.

    No ice so no frozen drinks. Had to ask for it for the Diet Coke in a can that I ordered. Ordered seafood pasta. It had four shrimp and two scallop. Looked like half the portion. No garlic bread. Stopped and asked if it was supposed to come with it and told they were out and they were working with what they had. Offered me toast. Jimmy Buffet would be upset with the quality.

    We were seated right away with a reservation and place was not crowded. The ambience was great, but took a while to get the food after an hour and 20 minutes. For lunch.

    No ac . Out of most frozen drinks. Fried Shrimp tasted weird. Took 15 minutes to have our order taken. Then appetizer and entrees came at the same time. Tables that came in after our table got their food before we did. Still unsure who our server was.

    Ordered appetizers. After 45 minutes, we inquired about how much longer and were told that our appetizers were cancelled because “it was taking too long”. Drinks were not as pictured. Food was not as pictured. One of our dishes was missing an item and when we asked about it, we were told they were out of stock. After finally sending the dish back, the dish was brought back out with said “missing item that was out of stock”. Very weird experience…Will never go back. Seafood Cajun pasta was pretty good tho. Everything else…. 0 out of 10

    We always go to Margaritaville every time we’re in PCB, and idk what happened but they don’t play Jimmy Buffett anymore, and the one time they played Margaritaville it was turned down so low we could barely hear it! Other than that everything was great, but I miss Jimmy :(

    They were out of LOTS of menu items. Said it’s bc of the holiday weekend but you’d think they knew the holiday was coming And man accordingly. Our server was way less than attentive. Brought wrong food to our table twice. Food was slightly better than mediocre.

    Since they asked me to email them privately and elaborate, then failed to answer I am going to post my email to them publicly here. Hi, as requested I am sending you an email to elaborate on my 1 star review from 5/10. I booked this way in advance as we had a large group (which ended up being only 6 people due to weather conditions) visiting Panama City. I thought this would be a good and easy place for everyone to find something they like and nice location. Come to find out there is very little to NO vegetarian options. Okay, whatever. Not only was the service was also awful, but so was the food. Our server was very off putting in demeanor and made everyone at the table feel rather uncomfortable with her “stories” and other weirdly personal information that nobody asked to hear, we almost had to ignore her and not engage in conversation hoping she would walk away Also- the service was painfully slow even though it seemed really rather empty for a Saturday night on an event week in PCB. Our server blamed the food runner for this saying “he gets paid to bring it out” so she didn’t know what was taking so long. It was so bad that when the food arrived we asked them to bring the checks as well because by that point everyone really just wanted to leave. Good thing because the food was terrible and not worth the price or the long wait. So disappointing, will probably never return or recommend. Felt like a huge waste of money on an already expensive weekend we had driven 8 hours for, considering the meal for two on my check was almost $100.
