G Foley’s

I love this restaurant! It is a great place for a date night. We ate there this week and ordered Filet Mignonette and Shrimp and Grits! Yummmm!
If I could change something, it is too loud in there! The food is GREAT, but the acoustics are not.

Nice atmosphere; however, overpriced (by a lot). Customer service is below average. They didn’t do anything horrible; but, I would have expected far more given the price…
The waitress was handling way too many tables at once and therefore, service was very very slow. We waited for our dinner for over an hour and they were slow to refuel our drinks.
Nice place to take a date (or whatever); but, I’m not all that interested in going back due to the very slow service.
Also…really loud. I felt like i was screaming all night just to have a conversation w my wife.

We had our Christmas party here (12÷5÷15) and out of our 12 people only a few actually liked their dinners. The appetizers were great but our dinners, although looked amazing, ended up being bland, over-​seasoned, and over-​cooked. Our drinks were even more disappointing. I’m not much of a drinker as it is but I will occasionally have one while I’m out. Unfortunately after my third mojito I started to think I was just drinking a fancy mint drink minus any alcohol. A friend was working on her fifth Jack and Coke and said she was even feeling slightly tipsy. Our waitress was nice but that wouldn’t EVER bring me back here. Overpriced mediocre food that looks great but leaves you disappointed. Don’t waste your money going here unless you’re looking for good appetizers and drinking beer or straight liquor.

G. Foley’s is my go-​to date night spot in Panama City. The live music under the enchanting oak would make anything taste good, though the menu holds up regardless. I’ve never gone wrong with anything on the wine list, and the Cedar Plank Burger is so good, you can’t not finish it!

My husband and I recently had our anniversary and chose this place for our celebratory dinner. The atmosphere was great. Our waitress was nice and accommodating, although at one point she asked me why I didn’t eat the crunchy onion garnish on my steak (they were basically onion straws and wayyyy too salty), which I though was a bit weird. It seemed kind of an odd question to ask, «Hey! Why didn’t you eat that?»
I ordered a house merlot on the recommendation of our server and was not disappointed, my husband ordered a local beer on draught. We both ordered the tenderloin, and here are the things that were wrong: it was sliced, and I don’t understand why someone would ruin a perfect, tender, and delicious cut of meat by slicing it AND it was under seasoned. I’ve dealt with beef tenderloin before, and because it has little fat, it needs to be well seasoned. The saving-​grace of the entrée was the delicious mash. We ended our meal with a crème brûlée that didn’t disappoint. At one point in the meal we were visited by who I think is the owner and that was a bit awkward because he said that we spoke to him earlier and we didn’t. haha. Anyway, it wasn’t a bad evening, but we did pay a lot of money for two under seasoned, cut-​up, pieces of meat.

i was disappointed. a friend who lives in town took us there and i agree with other reviewers. the food was good but overpriced and the service was lacking.
so we started the night with unpleasentness at the hostess station. we had reservations. when we got there, they told us it would be 45 min wait?! (i could walk in & wait 45 minutes! what’s the point of reservations?) they found us seats at the bar and asked if we still wanted a table. YES!
the bar has chairs that are way too low for bar hight but we ordered an appetizer anyway. we got the cheese selection. it was nice but overpriced. the menu says it comes with crackers & breads but they never brought us any. since this one came with piminto & mascarpone (?), the crackers were needed! we should not need to ask to get what we ordered!
it turned out that we probably only waited about 20 minutes for our table. trying to get to our table was a feat. they have large chairs that do not provide enough room to pass.
the food was good but like others stated, overpriced. and the service was lacking. after our salad, they took our silverware, great! but never brought the table more? i received a knife bc i ordered a steak but others that ordered chicken received no knife?! we waited, & waited, & waited for someone to appear with cutlery but they never came. i actually had to get up from my meal to find someone to get the cutlery. i should not need to do wait person’s job!
it was not a good dining experiance and i would caution you to lower your expectations if you go.

Fabulous food, great atmosphere! One of our favorite places to bring guests. Varied menu with a great bar. I’ve tried a number of different entrees and drinks, and loved every one.

Nice diner is to be had at firefly. Not here. Food and service is both lacking for the price and «quality» this establishment offers

My boyfriend took me here for my birthday. We sat outside where it was lit with lights in the trees and a guy playing guitar. It’s a romantic/​casual place. I did not care for their house wine but the food was good. We do prefer Firefly for a more elegant dinner.

We had no complaints about the food. My long island was heavy on rum but not a big deal. My only real complaint is the price. Food would have been a solid 4 by itself at a better price. Me and my wife can go to a resturante that is far more upscale on the other side of the bridge for 20 bucks cheaper and the food is better. But overall it was an enjoyable meal.

An amazing experience and a breath of fresh air for Panama City. While you have Firefly on the beach, G Foleys is located in town and will not disappoint. The Parmesan Risotto is to die for and the steaks melt in your mouth. Not to mention a great atmosphere and very friendly service. I will be back.

This place serves the very best filet mignon in the area. The shrimp and cornbread appetizer is wonderful and the salad with strawberries in it is also delicious. Plus, the service is outstanding. A bit pricey, but it is worth it.

Went on valentines day. I made a reservation and still had to wait a little while. I didn’t like where we were sat because I don’t like to sit where we’re right next to people on the left and right, and they’re all up in your conversation because they’re so close. It was a packed house so whatever. The plate on the table was dirty so I had to ask for another. The server was nice so complaints there. I didn’t like that they were only serving their valentines special, I wish I wouldn’t known beforehand because we weren’t able to choose from the full menu but I assume they did it to expedite service on a busy night. I couldn’t even finish the appetizer before they brought the entrée. The choices were decent so it wasn’t worth walking out and trying to get a table somewhere else on Valentine’s day but for the price, I should be able to choose what I would like. The stuffed mushrooms were so-​so. The lobster bisque was good and the lobster risotto was good. My wife enjoyed her filet but the chocolate cheesecake and cupcake were nothing special. We will not come back on Valentine’s day that’s for sure but I’d like to sit outside next time and listen to the band. Maybe then I would add a star but for now, no more than a 3 star.

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile now because I heard it was a great restaurant from multiple people. We had an excellent dinner and the bar really knows how to make drinks. I will definitely be going back.

The restaurant itself is very nice, the waiter we had was attentive and extremely personable which was great.
The food was good but the portions were very very small to me and not worth the price. The tables were way to close together so we get very squished. All in all I probably wouldn’t go back.

Amazing lunch and dinner place. It’s hard to find an amazing place to eat on this side of the bridge. Foleys never disappoints. Each season the menu is updated with fresh new items. Every dessert on the menu is wonderful. I’m not s big seafood person at all but the cedar plank salmon is always amazing. The best steak this side of the bridge. The nightly soup selection are made fresh daily and always full of flavor.
Lunch menu is mostly under $ 12 for choices making it a break from the normal lunch stop.
The staff and owners are always friendly and willing to make sure your evening is perfection.
It’s one of my favorites in town.

First off, I want to say I use to love this place. The place is nice, there’s live music outside on certain nights and the food was phenomenal. Well it use to be.
I went there yesterday because I was craving for their spinach dip with bow tie pasta chips, chicken lollipops, and gumbo.
When my boyfriend and I came in around 8, the place wasn’t packed. Just a couple of groups and tables with couples. The service use to be on point. Last night it took them a good ten minutes before a server even acknowledged us. I use to work as a server, huge no-​no. Minus one star for that.
The also took the famous spinach dip off the menu! Gone, bye-​bye. Why!!! I was so disappointed! we ended up getting the chicken lollipops and gumbo to start. The chicken lollipops use to come with a special BBQ type sauce and now it’s served like regular wings on top of some skimp leaves, carrots, and celery sticks. No dipping sauce. I had to ask for some. Was disappointed in this also. Minus one star for changing the foods only to have it taste bad.
My boyfriend ordered some kind of crab cake dinner and I got the ribeye. The steak was cooked good, medium just like how I like it. My boyfriend’s food was absolutely disgusting. I took one bite and had to spit it out. Thankfully I was pleased with my steak choice.
If it wasn’t for the pretty place, my steak, gumbo, and live music at the time, I would’ve only gave 2 stars.
Not sure if I want to go back after this last time. May be if I was craving their gumbo then yea… Other than that, no.

First off I will say I am basing this review on only the desert menu and what I saw inside. I went with a friend for desert only (decent desert is hard to find in this area). Besides parking being a bitch here only waited 5 mins for a table. We ordered all three of there deserts blueberry bread pudding, chreme brûlée, and cheesecake with bacon. Service was slow but our hostess was very nice and informative.
Brûlée was awesome best I have had in town. Bread pudding was a letdown no sauce on it, blueberries were just added not enough sugar in the pudding tasted really bland (but when mixed with brûlée was decent) I have made better real bread pudding at home. Last the cheesecake which was garnished with bacon and Carmel sauce. The flavors were very good but cheesecake tasted store bought very thin sugar cookie bottom crust. Being from up north I base this on Juniors the best cheesecake out there and sorry not even close. Odd thing they Didnt have a chocolate desert which is very odd.
Seeing other customers plates and the costs of them on the menu take an extra 15mins and go to FireFly if you want a truly epic dinner. For the price of there food based on desert I would rather go to FireFly where I have never had a bad meal. Sorry Foley but I liked the Italian place more that you replaced…

Maybe I wanted this place to be better. Or maybe I was hoping the food would live up to the décor. Or maybe it just wasn’t all that. But as much as I wanted to like G Foley’s, sadly we probably won’t be going back. Other reviewers have commented enough on the food. Suffice it to say it was just ‘ok’.

I am not over embellishing when I say this place is far and above the best food experience I have had for such a reasonable price. They have done an amazing job creating a casual-​upscale atmosphere that is unmatched in Panama City.
The everyday menu has classic steak-​chicken-​seafood fare where every dish sounds extremely appealing. I have had the pork tenderloin with gnocchi and a classic sirloin steak in my visits and have been blown away by both. Not only are they cooked to perfection, but the flavors are anything but forgettable.
On top of the unchanging selections, the chef has specials that are more creative than I have seen outside of truly fine and expensive dining. I had an appetizer special that consisted of risotto with bacon, brie, grapes, and a deliciously tangy sauce. It came out plated and tasting absolutely spectacular!
All in all, I highly recommend this establishment for good drink, good food, and good times with friends or family!
