The Flamingo Grill at Spinnakers was a pleasant surprise. It is located next to Club La Vela and, as such, I thought it was going to be nothing more than a beach bar. It does serve as a nightclub and hangout for the Spring Break crowd. During the day, however, it is a great place to grab a hamburger and a beer by the beach with your family.
We were seated on the covered patio at high tables overlooking the beach. The only thing that overlooked us was the resident calico cat that never comes down (her sister sits in the corner). We were greeted by friendly service and received good food. The kids ordered kids hamburgers that were generous in portion. Accompaniments came on the side as they should with kids’ meals (mine like them plain). Our adult 12-ounce cheeseburgers were enormous and we could barely finish them. They were delicious with all kinds of toppings and sauces. The beer was on draft and cold as well. They also offer all kinds of seafood: grilled, broiled, baked, fried or boiled!
I highly recommend the Flamingo Grill at Spinnakers for lunch. I haven’t found a better burger anywhere in Panama City Beach. You won’t be disappointed. An added bonus is the wonderful beach atmosphere and excellent service.
