Everything is clearly hand crafted. We started with 2 orders of fried crab claws. The best we have had on this visit to Florida. We ordered the gumbo and it was a perfect roux. Very nice. The mahi mahi tacos were excellent. The onion rings some of the best ever. My Caesar salad I topped with a $14 beautiful portion of blackened grouper, the king of fish, perfectly prepared. We are chef restaurant owners and truly glad we stopped here. Fun afternoon!

Very unassuming place that sits right on the beach. Waited a ridiculous amount of time for a table (nearly 1.5 hours) so plan ahead if you want an early dinner. The shrimp flatbread app with gouda was the best I have ever had. My daughter made an entire meal out of one of these. The blackened mahi was excellent as well. Definitely was worth the long wait the food was outstanding.

The food I got was not nearly as good as it was in the past . ??? So sad because I have been here many times.

We had gumbo, good. Shrimp and grits, ok. Drunken shrimp good. Popcorn shrimp good. Grouper sandwich blackened good not great. Was it worth the 1.5 hour wait, no. Extremely loud.

Our waitress, Cody S. was really nice and did a great job of making sure we we’re all good on everything, kept checking on us. Never left us without a drink.

Good, casual atmosphere. The food is good, something for everyone- fish, shrimp, burgers, etc. it seems to be a very busy spot, but we only waited about 30 minutes and had good attentive service.

My wife and just moved to Bay County and wanted a casual place on the beach to eat some fresh seafood and take in some local music. A friend recommended Schooners, so that's where we went. It's since become our go-to hotspot for an impromptu night out. The atmosphere is awesome, the food is spectacular, and the service is second-to-none for quality. Special thanks to our server, Cody, who went out of his way to make us feel welcome. The guy even took time to read me the menu since I'm legally blind and can't do it myself. Really, really appreciated that. We absolutely cannot recommend Schooners enough if you're in the area. They really will make you feel like a local!

During our visit to PCB we had to enjoy this staple place! Amazing drinks, atmosphere and music! Beautiful sunset and service from the staff. We started off with the Onion Rings and Wisconsin Cheese Curds! My wife had the Popcorn Shrimp Basket, Our Son had the Gulf Drive Shrimp. Our Daughter had the PICO Chicken; And I had the Gulf Fresh Grouper Dinner and Our other Guest had the Blackened Mahi Mahi Dinner! Excellent Sides of Fries, Black Beans with Tasso and Yellow Rice, Smoked Gouda and Tasso Cheese Grits and Dixie Cole Slaw. Great Key Lime Pie, Molten Lava Cake and the Big Jamie Sweet Cake! Always a must visit, while visiting here and the view and of course the canon shot! Highly recommend~

The food here is great with a wide variety. Everything tasted amazing. Great view with dinner as well

Schooners is a great beach side atmosphere. We were fortunate enough to acquire a table with a wonderful view of the water and beach, which we thoroughly enjoyed.The food was pretty good, I wouldn't say it was the freshest or best we ate in town, but there were no complaints. Again, atmosphere and service was great!
