Waitress was very attentive and super friendly.

Food was good nothing spectacular, but our waitress was so kind and went out of her way to accommodate my mother-in-laws wish for an item no longer on the menu. Great decor and one of the few restaurant gift shops worth looking at.

They have the best dessert and Service and and food

The shrimp and grits are beyond perfect! Lots of food for the price. Loved it!

Amazing place to eat and seeing the motorcycles while eating was a treat. Amazing staff and even during the busiest time of the night it was only a 30 min wait compared to the hour place everywhere else

Visited here for lunch while on family vacation. Our family had meatloaf, a burnout burger, and the 3 piece fried chicken dark meal. We all were very pleased with our food: portion,quality, and taste. Will definitely be back on next stop down to PCB! Check it out, you won’t be disappointed!

Food was delicious. We had to wait about 15 minutes for table..all the employees were so friendly. I would recommend this place to everyone. .

And awesome place to eat. They were able to serve our party of 13 and they didn't miss a beat. We ordered everything from the seafood platter to chicken, not to mention several appetizers. First rate and friendly service.

Delicious stop on our vacation. Chicken was super tender and moist. Waffles were amazing. Deff made the trip enjoyable.

Fried chicken and fried okra is to die for!

Great cozy atmosphere nice friendly service food was nice and hot and also it came right out definately comfortable and family friendly just like i like it home cooked meal a special thank you to misty she was outstanding

Had a great experience in this restaurant twice. We are new to town and were recommended to try this restaurant. Has not disappointed. Food was excellent both times. Our waitress Becca was awesome – very kind and attentive. Loved her. Absolutely recommend 10/10

This was my 1st visit to this restaurant. Landi was our server. She was 1 awesome lady. Made we were happy with our Neal, drinks, kept cking to see if we needed anything. Food was fantastic, portion was bigger than I thought. I got the chicken tenders & 🧇 🧇 waffles. They were huge. & oh so delicious. Highly recommend this place in off season if ur a local as summer is super busy with summer tourists.

Wheelchair accessibility: Great, plenty of handicapped spots & ramps.

Best shrimp and grits i have ever had. So good I had to go back and order it again before we left. Peach shine was our favorite flavor.

I’d give them 10 stars if i could for sure! Melissa was our server and she was awesome.. checked on us just the right amount of times and was very very friendly! I’ll definitely be back if i ever come back to Panama City for sure! 💯

Awesome service and food! Those smoked wings are so good they don’t need a sauce and the fried chicken and chicken sandwich also are very good. Also locally owned and operated. Not closed during the off season a plus…

Good stuff

Great food and our server was on top of everything the entire time. The drinks were really good and the burger and shrimp and grits were both amazing. Gotta knock them though for serving Great burgers with mediocre out of the box mac n cheese.

Dinner for 🍽 3 persons was just a 56.00 $
Super great food 😋
Quick service

Stopped by for a late lunch. Eclectic atmosphere with motorcycle themes throughout. We had great food and excellent service.

Short wait maybe 10 minutes at 6:30 pm. Waitress was friendly and knowledgeable of menu and bar selections, reasonable service time and all meals were tasty and accurately prepared…decor and ambience cool as always.. seemed to be hitting on all cylinders… Thanks!

The food was pretty tasty and the service was fantastic.

We went in as a table of 8. We all had specific orders. And I can’t remember the waitress name but she was amazing. And we didn’t wait long at all for our appetizers nor our food. It all came out at the perfect time. It was my sons 10th birthday and they gave him an awesome cookie with sprinkles. Was great experience.

Amazing seafood!

Great food service and drinks. Great memories made here many times.

Delicious!

Food was amazing. April made it an amazing experience. Will be back again!!!!

Great food, the wait time was appropriate for a beach restaurant, noisy but family friendly.

What an awesome locally owned restaurant. We enjoyed all the food ordered - popcorn shrimp, grilled shrimp (two skewed together to form a wheel, definitely a cool presentation) Nola fried catfish platter (catfish fried perfect), cheese grits (seriously the best I've had in a long time), sweet potato fries and yummy key lime pie (kinda small) for dessert. The fried chicken was tasty but batter was somewhat thick but that's just my personal preference, still tasty. The kiddos loved the burgers and the frisbee that their meals were served in. We used it at the beach too! The staff was friendly, Nicole was our server and she was so nice. The bike decor around the restaurant was cool with fun Halloween decor and a cute gift shop! Next time we want to eat outside, which looks nice too but the kids wanted to be around the fun decor inside. Glad we found this place while in PCB. Hope the area knows what a special spot they have for local dining options. Can't wait to go back!! :)

Catfish was awesome

Great food. Great service. Great local restaurant. Cool atmosphere. Automotive themed.

big portions. great tasting food. great atmosphere. service was ok.

1st visit. It was great. Family loved it and got full that's all that counts 😅

I had the chicken and waffles these are amazing delicious staff were awesome love this place I also had the candied bacon burger and it was awesome as well

Food was great, service was great! Kid friendly with a fun atmosphere!!! Would recommend to anyone visiting the PCB area. Glad we came to eat here

Fried seafood and chicken but not greasy

Pretty cool place, food, and service was great.

Awesome place, and the food is so good. I had the candied bacon burger it was delicious, and the pecan pie was even more delicious, and drinks were great

Best chicken sandwich I've ever had.

do you like motorcycles? do you want a kid friendly atmosphere? do you find a themed menu fun? AND do you like delicious southern inspired food? umm, yes! then this is the place for you!

Food well seasoned! Nice atmosphere.

My husband and I stopped by for lunch on a recent trip and absolutely loved it. He had the fried fish and I had the fried shrimp. The food was excellent, service was fast and friendly, and the atmosphere was fun but not overwhelming. Nice gift shop as well! Will definitely come back!

Was on vacation from Georgia. My fiancé and I ate here Sunday. The best fried chicken we ever had. The skillet corn,fried green tomatoes, and red beans n rice were great. We were seated fast . Drinks and food came out quick. Love the restaurant and the workers were nice. Will return before heading back home Thursday. Highly recommend..💕💕

One of the spots we always hit when we are in Panama city, which is about 5 to 6 times a year. The food is great, servers are incredible and the atmosphere is very cool.

Cool place to eat at! My wife and I have been twice now, and both times, the food, drinks, and service have been fantastic! Would definitely recommend!

If you are looking for a different atmosphere for a restaurant, this place is for you .

Awesome smoked chicken wings

As always, the cheese burger was AMAZING! Also, you gotta try the hush puppies.

Good variety of food at a good price.

Great place! Good food and great service!!

Great food. Shrimp seasoned perfectly.

The food was great. The food was delicious and the portions were nice. Visit if you are ever in town.

Oh my sooooo good, very nice place

Just went here last year and now a regular stop. Fried country steak was GREAT! so is chicken and waffles.

Cool little place to visit for dinner, unless you are seated outside. Really wish they would decorate that area a bit. There is literally nothing there to make you feel the experience you would get on the inside. Food was good and prompt. Server was great. Price was fair.

Attentive staff and unique atmosphere make this a future favorite.

We saw The Wicked Wheel while we we're out for a drive. It wasn't too busy so we stopped. The service was excellent and the young lady was letting me in on where locals bands play. I would highly recommend this place if your looking for a fun vibe.

Came to visit for the first time last night after hearing about the place while at Pineapple Willy’s. We travel with our pups and brought them along for dinner. We ate on the pet friendly patio and even were brought some cold water for the pups. We loved it so much that we came back for lunch today! The candied bacon BBQ burger is out of this world and so is the service. We were lucky enough to have Becca as our server both visits, and she’s a huge reason we returned before we head back home to NJ. We will be back next time we’re in PCB!

This is our first time of year we are from Georgia on vacation and they have the best fried chicken I have ever had such an awesome place

The Backfire Shrimp and Grits did not disappoint! Very creamy and right amount of cheese! Shrimp was savory! Our waitress Britney was also amazing and very helpful when choosing this dish! Very good customer service!

Sherry was excellent! The food was good, but she made the experience far better with her excellent attitude. We are locals and will definitely be back.

The popcorn shrimp were great! I love their onion tanglers and they were good as always!

Absolutely delicious! We had grilled chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, chicken & waffles honey corn, & fries & everything was so good. The highlight was definitely the waffles. My toddler ate a bite of his dads & well… We had to order extra waffles! They were the best waffles I’ve ever had!

We went this past Tuesday and it was awesome. We went at about 5-5:30 and we’re sat immediately. Our server, Lennon, was awesome. I got the cheeseburger with Mac and cheese and some collard greens. My husband got flounder, fries, and Mac and cheese. Food was so so so good! Definitely will be going back next year.

Food was just okay, not a lot of options for non greasy foods, cheese curds were soaking in grease. Our waiter was very friendly and helpful! Pricing was decent

Very popular spot. First time there. Enjoyed the food. Service was good.

We had a great experience! We were seated right away and server was very prompt and on top of things. The food was wonderful and we were very pleased with the prices of the menu items. We felt like the menu prices were much better than other places we have visited. Would definitely visit again and recommend to others!

Food was delicious and the kids meals were a good deal. We had wings and pretzels. Kids had chicken tenders. The kids meals are served on a Frisbee that they get to keep which was cool.

Absolutely our favorite restaurant in pcb. The best, food, service and not to mention their gasoline tea. Always perfect and so much food for the price

10/10 would come back everyone was nice and the food was great.

We came at a good time and there was no wait. If you wait past 4 or so, it's a super long wait. The food is great, the hostess was so friendly, and they have 2 bikes your kids can take a pic on.

Food n service was great

Food was great! Our server Nicole was so sweet, knowledgeable, and attentive.

The person who served us was very friendly, the order was served quickly, nice place, I will eat there again./The person who served us was very friendly, the order was served quickly, nice place, I will eat there again.

Alison was amazing tonight. Food came in good portions and was delicious. Gift shop was fun too. Great local spot. Highly recommend!

Awesome

Good good and service.

I loved the food and the atmosphere at this place.

Always excellent food and service 👌 😋

Nice place and food was really good, honestly better than I was expecting. Definitely will come back nxt time we are in town

First time here. The food and service were really good.

I was very impressed with how good their food was. I had catfish with cheesy grits and hush puppies. Kids had burgers and fries. Highly recommend this place!

We had a great time dining at The WIcked Wheel. I am a gearhead, so the atmosphere is fun and interesting. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. I had a burger that was delicious, the best one I've ever had in PCB. My wife had grilled shrimp and grits, which she raved about. My daughter had chicken tenders and mac n cheese and was very pleased with it, and she's picky. We will definitely come back next time we are in PCB. Tip: if you're going for dinner, go a little earlier than dinner time. It's a popular place. We got there aroung 4:45 and were seated immediately. 15 minutes later I heard someone mention a 45 minute wait.

Loved the fried chicken, and the hush puppies are the best.

We ate Dinner and had a party of 9 which including a 9 and 7 year old. I had the Fried Chicken and it was absolutely delicious !! Everyone had something different and they all raved about their meals ! We were in PCB for a week , and It was my favorite restaurant hands down!

Great food and prices. Love the decor. Had a chicken pot pie. Comfort food.

The food was delicious. We had the flounder basket. It was hot and melted in your mouth. The service was also outstanding.

Great atmosphere, great music, great service, very reasonable pricing and and great food. We got the garlic cheese curds AND onion tangles for apps. Good sized portions. Then we split the seafood platter. Everything things was great. Yes I know I keep using that word, because it was all great. The only knock we have is they use Ken’s ranch, Ken’s tartar sauce and Ken’s cocktail sauce. A restaurant this good and y’all don’t have a culinary sharpshooter to create a homemade offering on these 3 condiments???? I suggest having a contest with your culinary staff, let your customers decide over a month period, pick a winner, give them an $250 award for each sauce and then place it in your arsenal of wonderful offerings. Other tan that…. This place is GREAT. Shout out to our waitress Liv who was a rockstar with high octane fuel. (Pun intended)! Come enjoy this local adventure.

Carly was AWESOME! The food was great but Carly was just phenomenal. She was so sweet and made our first impression of wicked wheel unforgettable. I hope this review gives her the recognition she truly deserves. I highly recommend the chicken dip and chips. It was delicious and my family LOVED the burgers. Really wish there was an option for more stars because anytime we are in PCB, this place or Fatty's is where we will be while dining.

Bartender was great and so was the food. We had the shrimp and Grits. If they're not famous...they should be!!!

The food is excellent here , quick service and the staff were exceptional. Highly recommend

This place was awesome! My extended family showed up with 20+ people and the staff was very accommodating. Our server, Carly, was super friendly and attentive to the large group! Our food arrived at around the same time so we could all enjoy the simple yet delicious offerings together. So by for a treat if you're in PCB.

Fun place with good food. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Decent prices. .Always busy, so be prepared to wait a little.

Very good food, hot chicken and waffles was good, pretzel bites and beer cheese sauce was great. Everything looked and tasted fresh. Great service, very clean

Great food, service, and atmosphere. It's worth the stop.

Took the family for my second visit and the family's first to this tourist hot spot. The place was hopping with about a 20 minute wait for a table for a group of 5. Waited a bit for our order to be taken, but the food came out quickly and was hot and delicious! They live in Panama City and can't wait to go back.

Food was very good and our waiter was excellent. We tried his recommendations off of the menu and he had great suggestions

Best shrimp and grits I have ever had!!!!!!!

First time visiting, and my family and I enjoyed everything. The fried chicken was very good. Crisp and moist. Being from Kentucky, the chicken is some of the best I've had! Great service and atmosphere. Cool motorcycle displayed and classic cars.

Excellent service and food. Highly recommend.

Very cool place to eat. Great atmosphere and very kid friendly, prices are good. Had about 10 minute wait and it was busy.

We had a party of 13. We had a non verbal child with Autism in a special chair and a baby. Our servers name was Cooper. He made the process with special needs child very easy and comfortable. My sister and nephew share Birthdays and she never gets out because most places don't accommodate them. Not only did Cooper make it happen he made sure to get them red faced laughing with birthday shenanigans and warm wishes. It is servers like that who give me hope for folks like my sister to enjoy dinner out on special occasions and not bat an eye that they needed special accommodations. Thank you Cooper and Wicked Wheel!!

The best place to eat in Panama City beach! The food is delicious and the prices are well more than reasonable. The service is always friendly I can Guarantee after going a total of 4 times! This place will change your perspective on food. The atmosphere is spectacular with a gift shop full of goodies and the decor matches the aesthetic. This place is a must eat location!!

The most amazing place i’ve ever eaten!

This was a great experience for me and the wife, 10 out of 10, a must have in panama city beach, FL The Server was the best, recommend 2 great dishes, and was on top of food, drinks and everything else

Servers were great I plan to return with the wife !

Food was good. Service was great! Nice decor. Inexpensive. Decent amount of drafted beers.

Ate outside. great place the dogs allowed part is awesome! Would recommend

Phenomenal food, service and atmosphere! Definitely recommend and will be returning! I forgot to mention Nicole who took awesome pictures for us and was super sweet! I wish I could remember our server's name because she was wonderful as well, even though we came in so late, she was so lovely!

Service was great, food was great. It's got a wide variety of foods and kids meals come on a Frisbee that they get to keep.

Great place for chicken! Very cool atmosphere

Went for lunch and sat at the bar. Bartender was super friendly and attentive, food was delicious. We had the fried green tomato BLT, chicken tenders, shrimp and grits, and fried shrimp. All were delicious. The motorcycle theme makes for a great experience.

We had 4 different meals and an appetizer, and all of the food was excellent! No one was disappointed. Our server, Shane, was amazing, making it a perfect experience!

Burger was very good and over all, was a good service experience. Will be back for sure.

Really good food . A great place to eat at

This restaurant was amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly and suggestive. Also they served kids meals on Frisbees that they got to take home which the kids loved!

Kids loved the atmosphere. The food was great and the service was awesome. I’d definitely recommend if you have kids that like motorcycles or anything involving a combustible engine.

Fast, friendly service! Brittany, our waitress was so friendly and helpful in decision making! It was our first visit here and it was worth it!

Food & service were excellent. Would recommend to anyone in town for a good meal!

Hostest wasn't the nicest however our waiter and the food was great

I had the most delicious BBQ bacon burger at The Wicked Wheel, but my fries were cold. Refills were quick but the serve was nowhere to be found on multiple occasions & took a really long time to pay. Food came out very quick.

My family really enjoyed our lunch here. It was great in every way! Staff, food, environment etc. was all on point! Will definitely eat here on future vacations to PCB!

This was the BEST experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant in Panama 🤗 We had a party of 7 adults and 4 children and we had amazing service by a lovely waitress that I didn’t catch the name of unfortunately The food was absolutely DELICIOUS 🤤 I had a fried green tomato BLT with sweet potato fries and it was hands down the BEST Blt I’ve had in a long time (my mammow still ranks #1 though) 😇😇 Thank you wicked wheel staff on Wednesday night 7.17.24 🤩

I absolutely loved & enjoyed this place. The service is amazing. The food is worth it The atmosphere is inviting. I would recommend this place to everyone... my husband & I loved it.

Very good place to have an excellent chicken dinner. Their sides are good as well. Service was quick not too long of a wait nice decor and atmosphere. Prices weren’t too bad and our server was very good.

This is the fourth time me and my family have eaten at the wicked wheel and every time it has been top notch. The service has been good every time not to mention the stellar food. We will be going back again.

Always great food and exceptional service

Great food and service.

Best fried chicken I've ever eaten.

We went 7-14-24. We loved the decor, the motorcycles were gorgeous and the grandbaby wanted to touch them. He didn't want to get off the motorcycle seats. The food was excellent, my special needs daughter and grand baby loved the Frisbees, their food came out on. The shop had some awesome shirts. Overall it was a great experience and we will be back.

Delicious! Great portions/price - and very tasty! Only complaint - the bucket with condiments, menus and napkins - takes up too much space on the table. :-) had fried green tomato BLT and it was awesome!!

Neat place! We went to Pineapple Willy's, and it was a forever and a day wait and zero parking. I remembered reading that The Wicked Wheel was a sister restaurant to PW, so we decided to check it out. Waited close to an hour (normal for a good restaurant in the PCB area), and it was worth the wait.

Nice and clean restaurant with multiple food choices. The chicken tenders and tator tots were a hit with my family. We didn't really care for the taste of their specialty drinks. We had the margarita and gas tank tea(or something like that).

Great place, friendly people. Try the catfish it’s really good.

I recently dined at this restaurant and had a truly enjoyable experience. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the staff, which set the tone for the evening. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed meal. The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the food. Each dish was bursting with flavor, meticulously prepared, and beautifully presented. The fried chicken, in particular, stood out. It was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, seasoned to perfection. It’s evident that the kitchen staff takes great pride in their work, and it shows in every bite. I also had the chance to try a few other items on the menu, all of which were equally impressive, showcasing a range of flavors and culinary expertise. Service was another strong point. The waitstaff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured that our dining experience was pleasant from start to finish. It’s rare to find such a combination of excellent food and service, and this restaurant certainly excels in both areas. However, one aspect that I found disappointing was the policy on soft drink refills. After paying over $3 for a soda, I was surprised to learn that only one refill was offered. This seemed a bit stingy, especially considering the overall cost of the meal. In my opinion, providing unlimited refills would greatly enhance the customer experience and align better with the otherwise generous nature of the restaurant. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious meal and top-notch service. Despite the minor issue with the drink policy, the quality of the food and the exceptional service make it a fantastic dining destination. I will definitely be returning to enjoy more of their delectable dishes. I will return.

Ate dinner here with my family on vacation. Kids even ate a ton. Waitress was super nice and attentive. Food was great. We got there around 5 on a weekday, and I think we waited 20 minutes.

When we come to Panama City we eat mostly at one restaurant but this year it was my wife’s birthday and she wanted to try something different. We decided to come here after looking at different options and we have zero regrets. My wife got the chicken sandwich and I got the chicken pot pie. We both had the beans, rice, and sausage as our side and cheese curds for an appetizer it was all the best food we have had in Panama City. Our waitress was also very nice and aimed to please. This is my number 1 pick for Panama City and I’ve pretty much tried them all.

Great time and food and always packed love your shop to

It was our second time to visit the wheel. Their chicken has a wonderful crust and it’s cooked perfectly. The only thing we did not like was the batter had too much heat to it as in spicy. Everything else was really wonderful and great. Great service and atmosphere.
