I was curious of this place at the beginning, but food was really good! I ordered brown sugar bourbon baby back rib with side of soup, Mac and cheese and corn. My party ordered different dish and shrimp and fried okra was delicious! Even they were very busy, all sides were made by order and very hot! server was really nice as well! I highly recommend! This is definitely the best BBQ !

Small town feel with great friendly staff! Highly recommend the St Louis style ribs they were amazing! The turnips were also great along with the mac-n-cheese! Definitely will return on our next visit. I cant believe we haven't been sooner.

I've been in Panama three days and this is by far the best restaurant/bar I've been to. Great prices. Great customer service! Happy hour 3-6 pm was well worth it. Portion size was immaculate. The wings were not fried , but smoked to perfection The public bathroom was so clean for a bar. The whole experience was wonderful!

Pictured is the chopped pork, garlic toast, turnip greens, spicy potato salad and baked beans. Also pictured is the juicy and tender ribs with garlic toast, mandarin coleslaw, seasoned french fries, and mac and cheese. The food was great, was expecting it to not be as expensive as it was only because they do not have their prices updated in the picture of the menu online.

Surprise surprise surprise! A barbecue place in Panama City Beach that they want customers to return ! I’m a local many restaurants don’t care about the quality of their food because they get one time customers because it’s a tourist town.. The ribs were excellent. and being a tourist town, the prices are pretty consistent across every other barbecue smokehouse that I’ve been in every other state. I’ve stopped at and had this type of food. It’s not a value meal. It’s a valuable meal. Shout out to outlaw barbecue I’ll always come back !!! I’ll throw something negative out there too. I’m not a fan of their chili. I’m a fan of their onion rings. We went there as soon as they open, so it wasn’t busy, but by the time we left, there was a nice crowd there. To me that means they’re doing a good business early and it looked like a lot of local people coming in from work.

Quickly greeted on the patio. We were uncertain on kid friendliness at first glance but glad we stayed. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Kids menu available. Great, tender meats, flavorful sides, and delicious sauces.

This place is a little diamond in the rough, it's so hard to decide where to go with so many places to choose from. We decided on here the first day we got to Panama City and we were not disappointed. Staff was amazing, bartender was very friendly as were the waitresses . . Kitchen knocked it out of the park with the wings and brisket sandwich. We had a blood Mary that was super good and definitely different than you would be used to. We finished our drinks on the patio and watched traffic... Definitely recommend this place for a couple.

The food was great. Everyone at my table finished their plates, even though the portions are bigger than a Chinese Takeout restaurant. All the food was piping hot, and just about as fresh as you can get it. All the sides were great. Although I will say, the pork sandwiches are chopped and Carolina style, but still very tasty. The fried shrimp are great, going hand in hand with a thick, biscuit batter crust. The porkchop is good and salty, coming with a bone in and incredible flavor. Our waitress, Jessica was great. She delivered our food quickly, with a charming southern attitude. She made us feel welcome and was easy to make conversation with. The atmosphere is great, with a lot of band memorabilia and fun trivia on the TV. But something I was a little off put by was the Trump part. Now obviously, Florida is trump country, but I wasn’t expecting his mugshot to be on the wall. Other than that, no complaints!! If you’re gonna come here, definitely order the corn nuggets, the cheese and macaroni, and the baked beans! I will definitely dine here again!
