The Shack on Tyndall Parkway

Gary built a shack on a working-class stretch of North Tyndall Parkway — not the boardwalk, not the beach strip — and Panama City hasn't stopped talking about it since.

The food and service was amazing. We went at lunch time on a Wednesday and the place was packed and still exceeded all expectations. I ordered the lunch stack which is grouper, shrimp, and a crab cake with cheese grits. This was some of the best food I’ve had, the crab cakes are unbelievably good. Everything was top notch. Best place we ate at on our vacation.

My wife and I came here to celebrate Valentines Day. We Will definitely be back! She had the seafood stack and I went with the loaded surf and turf. Both dishes were awesome!!

Party of 6. Had tuna dip with fried wonton as an appetizer which was very good. All of our meals were cooked perfectly and very tasty. Very nice portions, prices were good! Service was excellent. Caramel Cheesecake was so good, we got extras to go. We will definitely be back when in town. Highly recommend.

We love Gary’s!! The food is always excellent and fresh! We have been several times and always take our family when they are in town, they have the best seafood & best prices! Their crab cakes are phenomenal, and so are the shrimp and hushpuppies!

When staying at St Andrews, we always make the drive out to Gary's. Best fried oysters you'll ever eat. And I've tried them at many places. They're big & meaty but their batter is light & delicious. Not overwhelming like many fried oysters are. I even ordered a basket to go to eat later. Had a crab cake that was good as well. And the mac & cheese was some of the best around too. Friendly staff.
