A
Boatyard
Slips are available to pull up in your own boat at this classy place that's gained a loyal following with locals. There's good live music, very fine martinis and talented chefs turning out Keys and Gulf classics like guava-glazed baby back ribs and crisped-to-perfection hand-battered fried shrimp.

Pineapple Willy's
This kitschy, casual place features its own sheltered wooden pier jutting over the sand, gulf-view dining and a fun bar. It's famed for its house special – slo' cooked Jack Daniels BBQ ribs by the pound and pound-and-a-half bucket load. The frozen margaritas and special Pineapple Willy cocktail – a potent potion of Myer's rum, pineapple juice and cream of coconut – are pretty popular, too.

Treasure Ship
A landmark since the ’70s, this trip of a place houses three separate restaurants over three levels of a full-scale replica of Sir Francis Drake’s 17th-century Golden Hind galleon. Hook’s Grille & Grog, at dock level, serves Caribbean cuisine (mains $11 to $24), and is open for lunch and dinner. On the 2nd level, the Main Dining Room is open at dinner, and serves steaks, seafood and huge salads (mains $16 to $30). Opening onto an open-air deck, the 3rd level contains Captain Crabby’s, with all-you-can-eat dinners of crab legs, shrimp and ribs (buffet $20 to $30), and cocktails served at the Deck Bar overlooking Grand Lagoon.

Captain Anderson’s Restaurant
Widely regarded as Panama City Beach’s top restaurant – as well as a dining tradition here – the Captain has an outstanding selection of seafood including market-price Greek-style open hearth broiled fish, as well as pasta and top-grade steaks. If you dine early, you’ll see the day’s catch being unloaded at the adjoining marina.

All-American Diner
Inside the chrome-quilted facade, sit at shiny booths or at the Deco lamp-lit counter and listen to tunes from the '60s to '80s on the jukebox while dining on burgers, fries and other classic American fare. The breakfast bar's a good deal, especially for kids.

Firefly
This uberatmospheric, low-lit fine dining establishment beckons diners with clever seafood dishes – salmon with ginger-soy and tempura-fried twin lobster tails – as well as meals of pasta, pork, lamb and beef. A cool lounge bar, designed to look like a fancy library, doles out tasty flavored martinis. It's good enough for the president – Obama ate here when he was in town in 2010.
