Finn’s Island Style Grub at St. Andrews
2808 W. !2th Street, Panama City
Okay, there’s technically two other Bay County locations of Finn’s, but this is about as far away from a chain feel as you can get. The St. Andrew’s location is a hippy, cat-lovers, tree-climbers dream. Very funky vibe with gift shops that make you feel like you’ve happened upon a Woodstock reunion.

Juan Taco
9902 S. Thomas Drive, Panama City Beach
Super-hip counter service taco joint that’s made a name on social media with tongue-in-cheek humor and clever sarcasm. Pork belly tacos on Wednesdays sell out oh so quickly. Located in that monstrosity of a condo complex frequented by youth baseball teams. Plenty of outdoor seating overlooking lake.

1236 Beck Avenue, Panama City Beach

Menu

Los Rancheros
11208 Front Beach Road, Panama City Beach

Easy-to-miss local dive with lots of colorful outdoor seating and 2002-looking website.
