My mom thinks this place sounds like heaven -keep in mind that her version of heaven is big plates of fried food, then they bring it to the table and she says "I don't know why they give you so much food. I can't possibly eat it all.":lol:
Anyway, is it an awful tourist trap, or is it decent? As good as Nick's in the Sticks?
Any tips?

It is full of tourists but it is good. Long lines unless you go early.
However I think that they are closed until Feb or March....I iwll check the billboard in INlet beach and report back to you.....

She keeps seeing the ads on TV- guess they are reopening. And all the snowbirds have told her it's great.:bang:
I would rather go to Captain's Table.
Did you say lines? I don't wait in line for food- I am not a cow.:angry: Captain Anderson's is not looking attractive!

Captain's Table has good oysters, but the other food is just average, for fresh seafood. I think IBD is right about Capt Anderson's being closed for the winter (but should be opening soon), and she is right about many tourists in there, but there are also many PC locals eating in there. I think their grilled fish, you name the species, is about the best seafood I've eaten. It is fresh, and perfectly cooked, and is simply presented, without fancy sauces to cover the taste. All you need is a wedge of lemon at most. Yummy! They also have a pretty cool seafood market. That place probably serves at least 500-700 people a night, and they don't do it because they are a tourist trap. They've done if for as long as I can remember, and I've been going there since I was a small kid. Go early enough and watch the charter boats come in and show off their catch.

I went a couple of years ago during the summer because #4 was working in PC. Would never go back. Prices have gone up and has a feel of a cattle house. Sorry, just have to be honest. We used to go there when there were no choices in sowal....years ago. There is a great place just past there on the bay in PC that I can't remember the name of Uncle Ernies...I think. That is a great place to go!

Caution, according to WMBB Ch 13 News out of Panama City, Uncle Earnie's was caught selling Grouper which wasn't Grouper.
The cattle house is a good description, because the place probably seats 250, and every seat is filled, with a few more waiting at the door. However, the food is great. Prices are more in line with SoWal prices than PC, so they aren't so scary to me.

Captain Anderson's has all the charm of an over priced cafeteria. Keep in mind they have received major awards in the PAST and those were generally because the families giving the awards never pay or wait when they come in. I would strongly recommend Captain's Table, Uncle Ernie's, or just about any other seafood restaurant before Capt. Anderson's.

Captain Anderson's is a huge tourist trap.
If you want to make the trip to Panama City, go to Captain's Table or Hunt's.

Hunt's Oyster Bar and Capt's Table are located on the south end of Beck Ave -- Panama City, not the beach. I wouldn't drive all the way to the Capt's table for fried seafood.

I completely forgot about Boondocks, right at the South end of the 79 bridge. Incredible food, but call first they close early if slow.

Nick's and Boondocks are good and not quite as far as Capt. Anderson's. Capt. Anderson's is kind of fun every now and then, especially in season when the boats come in and all the patrons are lobster red.
Too bad we don't have Nick's here anymore and Goatfeathers gets bad reviews. There is certainly good seafood in SoWal but no mondo fried platters I know of now that Bayou Bill's is closed. Bayou Bill's just across the county line is probably OK for most people looking for 20 pound platters of crusty seafood.

I used to thin the Boondocks was great, but lately, it is not so much, and my last wait time was 3 hours to get seated. Thanks, but no thanks.

Just say no to Captain Anderson's. It's impersonal and overpriced with worse than average service.

The head on Peel and Eat Shrimp, Baked Oysters, and Grouper Sandwich at Hunt's are worth the drive. And Yes I do order all three for myself.

jdarg...Mr. K and I have discussed going to this place for decades. We just have never made it because people tell us to get there at like 4 pm! I think it is Southern Living that always ranks it as the # 1 restaurant in the area. :idontno:

I have many hurricane glasses from Captain Anderson's. It was alway's a must for all of us teeny boppers to go there on spring break. I didn't care about the the food, I just wanted the drinks. ;-)😀:wave:

I think everyone should go at least once. We always went when I was a child so it brings back fun memories for me!

It was good back then, it has gone downhill considerably over the last 5 years.

Aww, c'mon, Captain Anderson's in an institution. I once had an excellent broiled flounder there. I have also had mediocre fried stuff. Everyone should do it once;if for no other reason to watch the humanity, poke around the marina and see what it was like to dine out in the 1970s. :wave:
