    Absolutely delicious! Great service and views! Be sure to get the Baja Rolls as an appetizer- that was one of the best things I've ever eaten- period! Can't wait to go back next time we're in town!

    I tried the "reel deal" which happened to be grilled swordfish. I chose the bienville sauce for it and was very pleased. Try the chowder! It's amazing! Also, great live music and a beautiful sunset!

    Love!at least $20 per plate but worth it for a beach experience. You can eat right at the beach & there is live entertainment, & good service. St.Joe blackened shrimp is the best I've ever had!

    The service, atmosphere and food were all spectacular. It is a bit pricy, but well worth the money. This is not a place to get chicken tenders and fries (I suppose you could, but why would you?).

    Best Caesar salad -- ever! The Tuscan chicken is an amazing dish. What incredible flavor! Definitely worth a reprise during a future trip to PCB.

    Runaway Island was AMAZING! I was with 5 other people and everyone loved their food! I got the Pane'ed Chicken and it was honestly the best chicken ever! Great sauce, good flavor, and super tender!

    LOVED everything about this place! Drinks were great (frozen Jack & Coke, anyone?), food was delicious (get the North Meets South, low country entree) and the atmosphere was so much fun!

    There were 7 of us and everybody’s food was excellent except mine. I should have known better than to order steak at a seafood restaurant. The steak was tough. Other than that everything was great.

    Touristy priced entrees. But tacos, chicken sandwich, appetizers, and a few other items are more reasonably priced. Great ocean view from the deck!

    The views were great ! However it took 30 mins after we were seated to have our waitress even greet us and get our drink order. Food is good as long as you don’t get the crab legs :(

    Didn’t have a good experience here. Didn’t think it was a good value. Service was slow and unattentive, not going back to this place.
