The Search for Panama City Beach’s Best Sandwich
Panama City Beach is known for being one of the most eclectic dining destinations in all of Northwest Florida, serving up fresh seafood, juicy steak variations and all sorts of foreign cuisine. But sometimes, tourists and locals alike just want a good–no great, sandwich. Sometimes people want something stacked and packed that they can put two hands on and chow down. It could be a sandwich overflowing with roast beef or pastrami, something roasted, veggie-laden sauteed or with tasty secret sauces and homemade spreads that really compliment the end product which is much greater than the sum of the two pieces of bread + whatever your heart desires to be put in between.

Cuban @ Calypso and Roast Beef @ J Micheals
Dees hangout makes the best new orleans po boys. There are a lot of restaurants that pretend to make a po boy, but only dees gets their french bread from the same bakery that all new orleans pubs gets theirs. It is delivered to dees several times a week and baked at 80 percent. there is no po boy better on the beach.
Where is that? On the beach?
Yeah, Cebo is right, Hippie Chick, dare I say, anything from Liza’s, is da bomb.
Liza’s kitchen hippie chick or black & bleu
Honestly, ANY sandwich from Liza’s Kitchen deserves the award for best sandwich in Bay County. but the above two happen to be my favorites. When my husband and I dine there we order both and split them!
The Jamaican Dog at the Red Door Lounge on Front Beach.
Gotta go with the French Dunker from Fatty’s…or just about anything else on the menu!! Check out Fatty’s across the street from Calypso!!
Fatty’s …across from Calypso by far and also Turkey and advacado on home made bread at Liza’s on Thomas Dr.
Floridelphia Cheesesteak is my favorite by far. Their store on the beach closed down but they still have one on 23rd street.
Hippie Chick from Liza’s Kitchen and pretty much anything from Liza’s Kitchen. All their sandwiches are excellent.
most def. the free for all make your own at fatty’s. every single sandwich is the best in pcb
lizas kitchen was awesome, id always get the same hippie chick with no mayo… but man that spinach never agreed with my stomach time after time so i droped that place.
The Seafood Muffeletta at Bayou on the Beach is absolutely delicious- with the olive spread and provolone…toasted…yum
I’m voting for the shrimp po’ boy from Barnacle Bruce’s …. on Thomas Drive across from Petronis School entrance. Don’t blink or you’ll miss the place. Great service and fresh seafood.
THE RUBIN IS BACK @ PINEAPPLE WILLY’S BECAUSE OF CUSTOMER DEMAND!!!
ON MARBLE RHY…ALSO TRY THE BUFFALO BURGER..MEAT FROM COLORADO.
Ya gotta try any type of sandwich from Butlers Panty. Now thos sandwiches are awesome!
Lizas Chicken Salad sandwich is awesome.
Anything from Liza’s kitchen…..hippie chick, mufaletta, pimento cheese, tomato basil soup, rice krispy treats the size of bricks…. it’s all good.
Don’t forget Firehouse; their Italian sub is another great sandwich, too…..best of the chain shops.
Brie and Apple Pannini at Liza’s
Liza’s Kitchen- they have amazing sandwiches! My favorite is the Hippie Chick. Delicious!!!
The absolute best sandwich on the beach are the fried shrimp, or fried oyster poboys from Dirty Dick’s Crab House. They fry your shrimp or oyster, or combination of the two, per order, and the size is huge! Real french bread from New Orleans, not hogie bread! Big difference!
Time Outs chicken sandwich is awesome, also the french dip
Hippy Chick Liza’s Kitchen! No Contest!
If it comes out of Liza’s Kitchen it’s the best!
The BP on Thomas Drive across from Joni’s Beach Rentals has THE BEST cubans! Ask Leo to hook you up! They are the bomb!!
Anything from Liza’s is great… But If you’re on West End… Fatty’s rocks too!
