Posey Beyond the Bay Restaurant

The appetizers were my favorite part! They had these buffalo shrimp that were SO good! The crab claws were good. I ordered the crab stuffed flounder—it had a lot more pieces of crab shells and fish bones than I was expecting. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I’d say the shrimp is where it’s at!

The quality of food has gone down over the past months. The service ware has taken a beating and needs to be replaced. Their standard plastic cups are showing so much wear as in chips around the edge of the cups. Also, for goodness sakes, if you run out of captain wafers, put them on the side of the serving plate beside the salad bowl. Giving out a plastic snack bag with four crackers is absurd and is an insult to patrons. The quality of the food has gone down also. Every bite tasted of old oil whether it was fried or grilled. A simple remedy is the fryer needs to be deep cleaned, not just replacing the oil. The griddle needs to be cleaned also to remove old residue. The thing that is the worst, is the added chopped parsley and onion to every seafood plate to make the plate look m

We were on a US 98 on a road trip and sightseeing. We wanted to stop somewhere for lunch and we found this place in Panacea. I had the steam shrimp with Old Bay seasoning with grits and hush puppies. I basically had shrimp and grits. I loved the Old Bay seasoning and those hush puppies were so good. We also had the key lime pie. That was the most whipped key lime pie I have had and it was very light and good. The place was busy but service was good and people were friendly. Stop by here for good seafood and good customer service.

We love this dive! Everything we had here was excellent. During crabbing season, they do all their own crabbing—when we pulled up, stacks of traps were ready to go. Everything that’s in season is fresh and local, and the place is locally owned, which makes it even better. The seafood is out of this world, the oysters are fantastic, and the steaks are phenomenal. It’s a no-frills, friendly-service kind of place that’s easy to love. If you enjoy beach dives with amazing food, this spot is perfect for you.

We evacuated and landed in Panacea. This place was awesome. The staff were very sweet and food was off the chain. Thank you for the sweet Southern hospitality.
