Millie's Cafe

Decided to stop in based on reviews and the menu. We had fried pickles, grouper sandwich, fries and a bowl of crab bisque. I would come back. Everything was fresh and well prepared. Restaurant and bathroom were clean. Only criticism I have for ownership is to clean the salt and pepper shakers. Those on our table were very dirty. They need a good scrub. I almost took off a star. I use salt and pepper and it takes away from an experience when they are filthy. The details matter in a restaurant experience. Only other thing is the crab bisque needed salt but I get it people can add more but you can’t take it out.

The food as always was delicious. The service was great and the overall experience was terrific.
Thanks Millie's❤️ for the great soft shell crabs and Grouper fingers tonight!

A nice Sidewalk Cafe with a large outdoor area that many times has live music, or people just jamming. Decent selection of beer, freezer to plate food of okay quality.

Definitely recommend Millie’s as a simple, fun, and great place to eat in historic Panama City. We wanted to have some seafood and Millie’s did not disappoint. We started out with some gator bites and cheese curds. The gator bites were cooked perfectly and very good. The cheese curds were good but would have liked the same breading the gator bites were done with. I ordered the fried oyster platter and my wife ordered the shrimp in cheesy grits. Both were very good, the oysters were fresh and cooked perfectly. I had a side of coleslaw and cheesy grits. Everything was very good and we wood definitely come back here again. It is not s large restaurant but that is what gives it it’s charm! The service was quick and very friendly. The sodas are bottle served so no refills here in case that is your thing.

The grouper fingers have quickly become my go-to order!!

I love grabbing a late lunch or early dinner from Millie’s! They almost always have live music and the outdoor seating beside the mural is beautiful!

Great location and I definitely recommend stopping while you’re downtown!!
