Gulf Coast Burger Co. in Panama City Beach, Florida, offers unique burgers, huge milkshakes, and a great casual atmosphere.
Gulf Coast Burger Co.
My husband found Gulf Coast Burger Co. while searching for restaurants we had to try during our last visit to Panama City Beach.
We originally planned to visit the Destin location while we were there, but it was the week of Christmas, and that location is in the Destin Commons shopping center.
The Panama City Beach location was perfect for our weekend adventure. The menu is unique and fun, the atmosphere casual and energetic, and the theme is perfect for this website.
I mean, Gulf Coast Journeys visiting Gulf Coast Burgers sounds like the perfect meeting. LOL!
From the moment we walked into the restaurant, we knew we were in for a treat. How often do you see a swordfish with a burger in its mouth?
I have to tell you the food was amazing! Every single thing we ordered was fantastic and we would happily visit again and again.
The biggest surprise was when Rosey the Robot (named after the Jetsons) came around the corner and stopped at our table.
I was not prepared for a robot to bring our giant milkshake and it was the perfect surprise.
We were laughing so much we almost forgot to get the milkshake. The robot had to beep at us to remind us why it was there.
If you are looking for gourmet burgers, fun photo opportunities, and fun you will love Gulf Coast Burger Co.
