Angelo's Steak Pit: Reviews & Ratings

Had dinner here while on vacation. It's a seasonal restaurant was just opening up when we were there on Spring Break this year. We beat the crowds. It was not a long wait time and was able to be seated after about 2-3 minutes. The service was great. Our waitress was knowledgeable even tho she had started back working. The food was a bit pricey, but it's what you would expect for a steak house. I would definitely go again if in that particular area of Florida. I definitely recommend going if given the opportunity.

Angelo's is one of the oldest standing steak establishments in the PCB area and it stands to reason that if the food wasn't good then they wouldn't be in business now. I ordered a rib eye with salad and baked potato. The meal itself was very filling however the salad served was very minimal, just a basic mix with a few cherry tomatoes. Be sure to ask for Angelo's house dressing as it is very good. The rib eye was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor. Angelo's steak sauce is a good accompaniment to the steak but the steak doesn't need it. Service is very friendly and prompt. However, with prices of everything continuously going up, it's getting difficult to find value. Don't get me wrong, I am all for supporting local businesses, but I can get a larger rib eye of comparable or potentially better quality for less at Longhorn. Just food for thought. I would come back though

The service was amazing! The staff was so kind, informative, and present. The food was good, i got the quarter bbq chicken, smokey and thick. Chicken was tender and juicy, i got 2 ears of corn so generous side. The steak was more thin than expected but was tender. Baked potato was large & cooked perfect. On the more pricey end but was a good for us to try one time. Oh and the bbq sauce... DELICIOUS!!!

DO NOT let the price deter you. Every single bite of this food was well worth it! From the garlic cheese bites to the mac n cheese to the perfectly cooked steak (cooked over open flame with hickory) and don't forget the fried shrimp that was about two thumbs size.... was phenomenal! Our server was the best I have experienced in a while ( and I was a server for years)! The host was friendly and the bus staff were very prompt and thorough! I will definitely be back soon, even if it's 6 hours away!

The steak was delicious, the baked potato was loaded and on point. The Greek salad dressing, I loved! The service was sub par but to be fair she could have just been busy. She was super sweet just very slow. Again the steak was worth the wait. If you order wine ask for the bigger glass, let it breathe!

I had the rib eye steak at Angelos in Panama City, and it was worth every single penny. The steak came out perfectly cooked with that signature char that they are known for, and it had that classic flavor that reminds me why this place has been around so long. For me, Angelos brings back a lot of nostalgia from when I was a kid, and sitting there again brought back those same memories of family trips and summer nights. Now I am bringing my kids, and they loved it just as much. They cleared their plates and actually commented on how fun the place felt, which is rare for them unless something really stands out. The atmosphere still has that old school charm without feeling outdated, and it adds to the whole experience instead of feeling like just another restaurant stop. The wait was barely noticeable, and the service was on point—friendly, quick, and not overdone. You can tell the staff has a rhythm, and the place runs smooth even when it is busy. It is one of those spots where the experience matches the reputation, and that is getting harder to find. If you want a classic steakhouse feel with food that actually lives up to the hype, Angelos still delivers. I will keep coming back every time we are in Panama City.

I had never been to this restaurant and really one of those " spur of the moment " where are we eating on vacation tonight type deals.. I had planned on picking a place to eat about 3 hours earlier and of course that didn't happen... Then the wife says" it's getting kinda late, you know where we going". I responded as I was all over goggle waiting for something that would pop out at me that sounded good when I replied" how bout Angelo's Steak Pit'... little did I know this was going to be one of the best steaks houses we'd ever ate at.. We didn't have to wait to be seated, we walked right in.. Service was outstanding... Right off the bat I noticed this restaurant was very clean.. That's a automatic deal breaker for me... Once we got seated, and ordered, appetizers came right out.. The shrimp cocktail was delicious.. We're talking BIG Gulf shrimp man, the best.. The salads were fresh like someone went and got this from their garden... But the steak took center stage, it came out immediately off the grill, and it did not disappoint... absolutely lights out, and cooked to perfection.. Sometimes it hard to find restaurant that has everything ' just like you like it" And Angelo's Steak Pit checked all those boxes for me and my family... Nothing fancy , just a nice , clean establishment that knows how to put it all together... I honestly hope you have the opportunity to try it.

This is our first time dining at this steakhouse, and we were pleasantly surprised by how good it is! My husband and I ordered the filet steak, medium rare, and it was delicious. My friend ordered steak & shrimp, it’s very good too. The food came out very fast! The prices here are more affordable compared to other steakhouses in PCB. We also ordered side salads; I added beets to mine, which was a great choice. Definitely try their unique old French dressing, it’s fantastic. The steamed vegetables that came with the steak were also very tasty. We’ll definitely be back to try more of their steaks! This restaurant closes in the winter months. They usually open from March to October!
