Any recommendations for the area, restaurants, things to do or see? We will be at Legends Edge next week, 4 adults. Thanks!
Our Favorite there is Angelo's steak pit if you like steaks with a smokey flavor. Large restaurant but tend to have a wait, no reservations or call ahead. Our favorite upscale dining is Firefly, very good food and a great early bird special. Our favorite seafood is J Micheals, again you just go wait. Our favorite BBQ is Moes' Original BBQ (not the counter service chain) just east of Pier park very near the Wyndham resort. Another good location with good lunch and early bird specials is Triple J near where you turn off Thomas drive to head toward LE. For oceanfront seafood we like Schooners. Eat my Pasty is a good British counter Service place with good burger's and fish and chips, nice people, I did hear they've moved locations though. Another good seafood place with view is Pineapple Willy's. For seafood we also like Captains table in Panama City proper. The Nacho's at Margaritaville are good if you're into those things. There's a locally owned ice-cream shop in the Edgewater complex (where firefly is) called Pink Pelican. A lot of people recommend Saltwater grill but the one time we went it wasn't very good. Wicked wheel is a chain but it actually has very good food and is great for lunch plus it's a neat interior (fried chicken and the chicken salad are what we tend to get). My SIL & daughter like Bayou's on the beach which isn't on the beach, we think it's just OK. There's an Egg and I just down from the resort that's very good (similar to another broken egg). We haven't found good pizza since Mello Mushroom closed. We don't care for Captain Anderson's that you'll often see recommended.
The one's I listed as favorites are favorites in general, just just for PCB. Note, some of these locations close during the winter season like Angelo's and Captain Anderson's. Pier park is an upscale shopping area where Margaritaville, Shoney's (a newer one), Red Robin, Front Porch, Dick's last resort and a couple other dining options. Kind of a cross between a resort shopping mall and a regular mall with carter's, Dilliards, Penny's, Target and the like.
Be careful, the speed limit there is low and the signs are hard to see. They will ticket you. There's a Publix AND WD right where you turn off the main road (Thomas Dr.).
