Shades Bar & Grill

"The food was great! Great atmosphere. It took a while to get our second drinks. Which sucked considering we were eating spicy foods. Possibly short staffed. No hard feelings here. We will be back and I recommend you to check them out."

"Love this restaurant every time I come to Panama City Beach my wife and I and friends usually visit. One thing I like about it that It’s open late. I usually do not go on and review restaurants. But I wanted to say, I placed a to go order and when I came to pick it up, there was already a 20% gratuity added to my ticket. I don’t believe somebody getting in their car, driving to the restaurant to go pick up their own food, that a restaurant takes it upon themselves to add their own gratuity on the ticket. They already have a business tax or fee when you shop along or eat on 30A already. Like I said, the food is always very good, but I don’t believe that’s right for them to to add a gratuity on a to go order."

"Kinda silly, but I LOVED the veggies complimenting each dish. Okra and sliced jalapeños with the calamari; perfectly cooked asparagus with straw veggies under my delicious crab cakes. A selection of craft beer was simply icing on the cake. Did I mention an arcade to entertain the children while waiting for food?"

"True Score- 4.51/5 Stars Shades was an excellent stop on our trip. The menu felt unique, the food was FANTASTIC, and it was just a nice bar and grill. Service was great as well. This is somewhere I could eat multiple times on a vacation and not get burnt out. To start, the volcano shrimp was to die for. I love typical firecracker/hot shrimp dishes, and this was some of the best. Shrimp was cooked well, and sauce was generous, as well as the portion size. A perfect dish. To follow, I ordered the Salmon Pad Thai and my fiancé ordered the Steak Hibachi. The pad Thai was better than pad Thai I have ordered from most pad Thai places. The salmon was blackened and grilled well. SO much flavor on the dish, to go along with a perfect portion size. I also tried a bite of my fiancé's steak hibachi, and it was delicious too. The steak was seasoned wonderfully and the rice was flavorful, and the yum yum sauce did not taste generic. Excellent food all around! Cost here was fine. We ordered two expensive dishes, an appetizer, and 3 beers and walked out with a subtotal of 95 dollars before tip. One could easily eat here for much less. The Bar & Grill itself was clean, well spaced, and felt so familiar. It felt like any bar & grill anywhere in America, so it was just a comfortable, nice, clean place to eat. We sat at the bar, and were served quick and well the entire time. Staff was talkative and personable, as well as other patrons. I have 0 complaints on the quality of service. Overall, an excellent option. I want to go back, it just isn't close enough to Ohio!

"This place was great! Our server was Jon. He let us know that this is a from scratch kitchen and they can be very accommodating! We started with a summer salad to split! It was excellent. For my main course I had the Philly with Sweet Potato Fries! It was delicious. My girlfriend had the GOAT burger with fries. She said it was bomb!"
