Panama City Restaurant Guide

Went to visit my daughter in PCB. Went to Dusty's first thing. The GROUPER was GREAT. Coldest beer possible. Special in the afternoon, beer was 75 cents. You just have to go there. Great atmosphere. Great people working there. Best place I've been to. GO!!!!

MY FIRST TIME THERE, IT WAS AWESOME. THE FOOD, THE STAFF, THE ATMOSPHERE. WE WILL BE BACK.

Great place for raw oysters and cheap beer. Has alot of locals but the atmosphere is great. Met Ma Ma ( hostess ) and she was just great. Had to wait for a table but she took care of us. Recommend to go during lunch rather than evening, night manager is a jerk with short person syndrome.

We come to Panama City every year and eat at dusty's 2 or 3 times a week. LOVE IT!!

Awesome oysters, awesome wings and very friendly. Had a terrific time. Congrats to Scotty on his national championship. We were pulling for you.

Best oyster meals in 50 years experience.

this is one place i look forward to going to everytime i hit panama city! by far the BEST fried green tomatoes ever! def. hit this place up more than 3 times on my stays there!

We go to Splash in Panama City every year and we ALWAYS eat at Dusty's every year at least a few times. A friend who is a PCB resident suggested it. They have by far the freshest, coldest raw oysters I have ever had in my life and I am a raw oyster lover. I will say that oysters are usually what I order, but family members have had the wings and the po-boys and said they were equally wonderful. The wait staff is super friendly.

They also had a cheeseburger on the kids menu that was quite tasty for my non-seafood picky eater. The fries rocked.

This is definitely a hidden gem known only to locals. We are thankful we had local friends to point us in the right direction.

During a recent vacation to PCB in November 2008, my boys (age 15 and 13) asked to return to Dusty's four out of six nights of dining. The staff treated my boys like kings and were more than willing to give both of them a try at throwing back a raw oyster!

Nothing fancy, just a little place on the beach with a relaxed atmosphere and some darn good seafood! My husband's family member owns the place and she makes sure he customers are treated great and they have the most awesome oysters you'll ever put in your mouth! Going to PC Beach next week and I'll definately make more than one trip to Dusty's!

We love Dusty's!!! My daughters and I happened on Dusty's a couple of years ago. When we were deciding where to go for vacation this year, they said we HAVE to go to PCB because of Dusty's! The oysters are great, great fries, beer, and the service is fantastic. Also a great jukebox.

Dusty's was recommended to my husband & I when we stayed in PCB last year. We ate there 3 times during our 5-day vacation. The wait staff is friendly and the atmosphere is fun. It's a great place to mingle with the locals and toss back a few beers after a day at the beach. The seafood is fresh. Love the steamed shrimp, crab legs and seasonal fish. Scotty (a champion oyster shucker) kept us entertained with his stories while he shucked plate after plate of oysters. My husband & I have had oysters all over the world; we know what we like, and Dusty's delivers big, fresh, delicious oysters. It's a gem in PCB!

My wife turned me onto Dusty's about three years ago. She used to go there before the original burned down. Everytime we decide to go to Florida, we choose Panama City because of this place. Great food, good service, cold beer, and great prices. Just a great place to hang out. Going there in a couple of weeks, can't wait for some baked oysters, Dusty's Style!

I'm from Tallahassee, FL and I love this bar. The food is great, always clean, excellent service and the little
short oyster shucker is the best part!!

I saw roaches crawling around this place, its not what it used to be. Employees have gotten very cocky, escpecially their little short oyster shucker. This place was at its best when the original Dusty owned it.

When we came to Florida the first time we had to go to Dusty's because my father in-law loves oysters. Since then even when we have came down without them we still have to come to Dusty's, they have great chicken wings and great daquiries. I would recommend going to Dusty's to anyone with or without kids it's great.

I would give Dustys a 6 star rating if I could. If you want quality oysters at a great price, and the coldest beer in all of Florida, then you better head on out to Dustys. It has a down home kind of feel to it and the employess are some of the friendliest in town. I reccommend it highly and I've been eatin' oysters for a good 35 or so years and I know great oysters when I find 'em and these are the tastiest!

My wife and I travel to Panama City Beach at least 3 times a year. After we check in to the Georgian Terrace Motel the first thing we do is drive 1 mile up the road to Dusty's. We have been going to Dusty's for years (even the old dustys that burned down). If you go no where else go to Dusty's. The crab claws are excellent. I always get the mixed seafood platter and my wife orders a pound of claws and a pound of shrimp. I love their ostyers too.
It is one of the best experiences on the beach.

If you love a beachy biker bar your will love this place. It has great steamed oysters with a secret ingredient and great prices on beer. I am making a 2nd trip to Panama City, Fl from VA just to eat there again. Its worth the trip.
