Locals know when it's almost time for spring break on Panama City Beach........ that's when Captain Anderson's Restaurant re-opens from a short winter holiday. They open the big front doors just in time for our winter guests to enjoy the delicious fare of this highly acclaimed restaurant and right on time for the spring break rush.
Captain Anderson's Restaurant opened for their 42nd Anniversary in January, 2009. Since 1967, Capt. Anderson's has created many Gulf Coast classic dishes and has won the loyalty of millions of customers, who they treat like family and consider to be friends.
For many families who come to the beach every year for spring break, it is a tradition to "dine early at Capt. Anderson's, and watch the fishing fleets unload their catch."
This waterfront restaurant has grown to 660 seats serving over 250,000 guests during its 8 month season six nights each week. Founders, Jimmy and Johnny Patronis have passed the family valuesof high standards, hard work and consistency on to the younger Patronis generations, and the family still works at the busy restaurant.
Named among America's Top 50 restaurants, recipient of the "Best Seafood Restaurant" award from Southern Living and Wine Spectator's "Award of Excellence," Capt. Anderson's won Florida Trend's Golden Spoon Award for 15 years before being inducted into the Restaurant Hall of Fame in 2005. The Hall of Fame is the highest honor Florida Trend can bestow upon a Florida restaurant.
The Patronis family works with fishermen, oystermen and others who make their living harvesting the Gulf and Bays to preserve the natural oyster beds of Apalachicola Bay by building artificial reefs to protect the fragile coastal ecology. Their dedication to the seafood industry is one of the most important reasons Capt. Anderson's is known for serving more fresh local seafood than many other restaurants in Florida.
The Patronis family and restaurant staff have truly enjoyed serving the locals and seasonal visitors over the years, and many of their dishes have become popular favorites. Click here to view the Dinner Menu
