Billy`s Oyster Bar and Restaurant in Panama City Beach

Food was great, family atmosphere, but I suggest a bigger building due to so many people wanting to eat there! Me and my family will definitely be back! Below is a picture of the Parmesan Oysters!

I'm headed back to PCB in 10 days and Billy's will be on our schedule! Menu is never complicated. A dozen oysters, a couple cold beers, and either whatever special they have going on or a po' boy is all I need.

Great local Seafood and Oyster Bar. Food was good and the Oysters were fresh. Great place to go if this covid crud doesn't put everyone out of business.....

Great local spot! 2 for 1 draft beers from 4-6om. First timers but it wont be our last. The food was great! we had the coconut shrimp and "world famous" seafood platter the service was even better. Alexus rocked!

Shocked that a place for turtle nesting hasn't banned plastic straws. Service was a little slow at first. Food deliciousness made up for it! So tasty.

Seafood is not my favorite. Good food everybody enjoyed

Been a long time but just as great as it was in the day

Billy (not THE Billy) shucking oysters was great at the bar. Oysters were great and service was terrific.

Coming to Billy's is a tradition for me. We always order a pitcher of beer and my dad gets raw oysters with my grandma, and I get the delicious garlic and parmesan baked oysters. Super filling, great service, always highly recommended.

Food was good, service was pretty slow. Don't get the house Vodka, 365, it's awful.

Look at all those dollar bills!!When you first walk in, your eye goes directly to the ceiling.There’s literally thousands of dollar bills hanging from the ceiling. They estimate, the current total is $8,000.Last year, they had over $11,000.And what do they do with all those dollars bills, you may ask? Donation to charity.Now on to the food. Well as usual, I ordered the wrong thing. So I had the hushed puppies and they were terrible compared to the ones I had at the Boon Docks restaurant.Here, they were on the very dry side. Extremely fried & dry to be exact. I also had the lobster bisque, and I can almost assure you, it probably came from a commercial canner. The bisque, was extremely thick, and it was just a cream. It was sooo thick, I could’ve eaten it with a fork.I also got sick from the food.

The gumbo was amazing. Went there the times during vacation. Great casual spot.

Service was good. The menu was abbreviated due to covid. The food was fair.

Will not be returning here to eat. Waited over one hour for lunch. Chicken tenders that were $16 was the last to come out and it was processed chicken. The owner showed up and was mad. Two of our orders were forgotten and had to eat after every one else at the table was finished. The waiter was nice but obviously you could tell this has happened multiple times. The hostess was not professional and rolled her eyes multiple times in front of customers.

Favorite meal of our entire vacation! Great prices, fabulous waitress, and fresh seafood.

Great Great. Cameron was the Best but you left out my fried claws and I had to come back. But you still deserve 5 stars you rock

I had the creole grouper here and it was delicious. The portion size was huge and the fish was fresh. My friend had some fresh crawfish and he said they were fresh and very good. Cool little spot with fresh food and cool atmosphere with many many dollars hanging from the celling.

All time favorite!!! Blue crabs, crab claws, oysters Raw & baked! DJ Vladi was jamming some good ole tunes!Great experience !

Very good food and service. Only complaint was the manager told a family they could not come in without wearing a mask, but the oyster shucker at the bar was not wearing a mask while working.

Excellent oysters Rockefeller. Fried oysters were great also. Service was good and prices were fair.

Great clams. Awesome BBQ shrimp. Friendly folks

The only reason I give this place 2 stars is because of the appetizer. We ordered the jalapeno baked oysters. They were awesome. I was off to a good start and had high hopes for the remainder of the meal. I was wrong. My husband ordered the crawfish ettoufee. It must have sat in the pot all day because it was a lumpy mush doused with cajun seasoning. I ordered the crab and shrimp plate. The crab was okay, fairly meaty but the shrimp were overcooked and rubbery, difficult to peel. Then they smothered everything in some kind of powdered seafood seasoning layered on thickly.(not Old Bay) I guess to cover the fact it wasn't fresh. The fries were soggy, oily sponges that tasted old. Sorry but this place is awful.

Great service. Good food. Overall very nicely done.

This place is always so good!!! We come here almost every time we are in town. The stuffed flounder was fantastic , the grilled snapper was also quite excellent. the boiled shrimp was very well cooked and perfect. That garlic romano oysters were outstanding. I highly, highly recommend this place to anyone who hasn't been here!!

Fried oysters are incredibly delicious here, everything else is too, but Mmmmmmmmm those fried oysters are miraculous!!!!

I was Seated quickly but my water didn’t get refilled for over an hour. 3 tables around us got served first & when our food came out it was cold! Waited over an hour and a half for no refills and cold food. Will not be back here

Kind of disappointed honestly. May be fine for oysters but everyone else I was with was not impressed. Oily and greasy, and my po boy was dry and bland.

I hate leaving bad reviews; however, with a restaurant that has access to fresh seafood, why would you ever serve people store bought frozen? That is what I got on my shrimp pobody. Store bought frozen, flavorless, popcorn shrimp. We sat for 1 hour and no refills.

This was the most satisfying seafood I've ever eaten.

Its average. $21.99 for 1 pc of fish 6 shrimp 2 hushpuppies, coleslaw and French fries. We did not like the french fries or coleslaw. For the price ...one more pc of fish would have been better. We also ordered the fried zucchini which was amazing. 8.99 but was a pretty good serving.

They social distance patrons and the wait staff wears masks. Food was excellent as was the Long Island Iced Tea! The gumbo, crab claws and oysters were the best I've had in quite some time.

Definitely adding to our vacation restaurant list. The blue crab was delicious.

The food was good, the waitress was a little spacey. She forgot extra ordered food items that we ordered and never did remember them. My husband even told her that the gumbo was delicious and had filled him up and she replied "yeah, it does that" and started to walk away she had to be called back over and reminded that she never brought it out and she actually had to go check and make sure. The oysters on the half shell were good. The snow crab legs were great! The atmosphere is a sports bar type. I would go back again for the food, possibly even with the same waitress... Maybe she was just having an off day.

The steamed crab legs were amazing🤩🤩 there is so many kinds of oysters that you can get! It's a bit pricey but I would say that $100 was worth two plates of delicious steamed crab legs!

Wow! Be prepared to spend some dough. Think your eating at a luxury restaurant with those prices. Feel a little ripped off. The crab claws where good. Fish & chips was exceptional. Shrimp PO Boy got a positive review from my child. Proportions where small. My thoughts are way better places to go for same money and walk away satisfied. Besides the feeling was shorted Billy’s was ok.

Great Sea Food. Always packed but pretty good service.

Awesome food. Fair prices. Better than all the tourist traps by a mile. Billy's or bust!

Came for lunch during off peak season. The server was great and got our food quickly. Everything we ordered was good and reasonably priced. The server was also helpful with places to visit.

Great place for hook and cook! We had red snapper fried and blackened. Our waitress was awesome.

Came in at about 8:30 the lady was extremely nice. Fast service food was THE BEST. Seriously would recommend it to anyone of my friends. We paid $119 for 3 alcoholic drinks 2 cokes and the mombo combo for 2 (market price) alligator bites 1/2dz raw oysters 1 dozen of clams Plus a kids meal! Can’t beat the price! LOVE THIS PLACE

Great low key place to eat, food is good especially there fried oysters, definitely worth the trip

Let me start with the baked oysters and groupers where delicious. The service started good thru the appetizers.That's were everything came to a screeching halt:Shrimp, lobster tail and crabclaws had been under a heat lamp for quite some time or just so overcooked it was rubbery.AND it was at room temp to cool.After talking to "owner" and server we were charged full price. The server kept saying he was sorry was all.....The "owner" chose not to say more than 2 words, but did toss another lobster tail on the tableI stopped going in 2009, thought I would give it another go.... DO NOT make my same mistake.

Alan brought me to this place because I had asked him if he knew a place that had excellent clam chowder. This is probably one of the best clam chowders I have ever had. It was made from scratch. It's a nice place for locals. If you look up, there are thousands of dollar bills hanging from the ceiling. They have a good selection of food and the prices are just right!!

We are from Houston TX and we visit this restaurant And at first look you would think that it’s not going to be good eating but let me tell y’all we was very please with it.the blue crabs are Awesome and fresh to We will definitely come back again thank you for the service

prompt friendly service. I had the fried grouper platter. Lightly fried, not a lot of grease, batter just right. Someone else in the group had the Gumbo, and was authentic and very good. I recommend Billy's Oyster Bar.

Delicious raw and baked oysters! We absolutely LOVE the crawfish which is seasonal, but they still have them! The right amount of heat and for 7.99, the meal just cant be beat! Best part is our favorite waitress Yelena...she belongs in a five star restaurant. Her attention to detail is outstanding!

The food was amazing. I had a Low Country boil with Crawfish and potatoes and corn on the cob the best I've ever had outside of Louisiana.

Out of three things I asked for/wanted. No Piña Colada, no pasta (it was one of their specials), flat Dr. Pepper. Food was pretty good but they said they’re short staffed. So service wasn’t great. Took several minutes for a server to come then waited a while after we finished dinner to get the bill. Experience was meh

Amazing food! Everyone at our table (6 adults) all had different food items , everyone of us had an amazing meal. Server was great, friendly and fast. Will be there lots more.

Oysters were good. That's about it. Wilted brown lettuce on the poboys, grilled grouper tasted sour. Fish n chips looked like gold fish fillets. Very dirty place, floor, walls tables, unacceptable!
