A little shocked and disappointed. We pulled up on a Friday night and not one car on the lot - thought they were closed. We were quickly greeted and took a seat. Party of 9.
Almost immediately we noticed the server was new or inexperienced, but that is OK....we have all been there. There was a lot of repeating orders over & over and many initial mistakes made - but she was friendly so it was truly not that big of a deal.
When the food came out - 1/2 of it was wrong - but we just smiled and accepted it. 2 sets of 5-piece wings came out as 10, 5 lemon pepper wings came out as naked, 10 pc hot came out as 5 and when they corrected the lemon pepper wings - they brought out 10 instead of 5. So we took 5 lemon pepper and substituted them for the hot - on our own, no complaints.
We ordered 4 alcoholic beverages and one of the cups was way smaller than the others so we were told "you will get a refill of this since the cup is so small" - 3 of the drinks were the same drink but none made the same - again, no biggie. We drank them.
Not one time were we offered a refill of the sodas or tea at the table. Cups sat empty for most of the meal.
Here is where it goes left. After we ALL got our food and were eating the server came out and told is she had 5 more wings for us - we all advised that we had all of our food and we were not missing anything. She just stood there - almost like she was going to get in trouble for taking the food back. She just stood there holding the plate. I said to her once again, we are good, we have all of our food. After another pause, she said "well you guys can just have it, I cannot take it back" - OK, cool.
We get our check - $300 tab in a place that had NO CUSTOMERS the whole time we were in there and they charged us for the wrong wings they bought out. It was only $9 but when I asked her about it then there was a debate. 15-20 minute debate on the wings. So she went and got the owner/manager and he basically said "well you guys ate them" - YES, we did because she stood there staring at us for 10 minutes and then said we could have them because she could not take them back.
Oh, and the refill on the 1/2 an alcoholic drink - never happened.
2 buildings down were packed, a parking lot full with a 1 hour wait.....and this spot was empty and looked closed. Makes you wonder why.......

The oysters were the best and Mike the barkeep was exceptional. From the moment, we walked in, we were encouraged to relax and enjoy some of those delicious gulf area oysters and did they go so well with a cold beer. Mike's customer service was just down home friendly and he was a great ambassador for Panama City Beach.
Can't wait to come back and try some more of the menu.
