FORD'S GARAGE – Restaurant

Inside Pier Park in Panama City Beach, Ford's Garage pairs its car-dealership decor with a beach-town energy, gas-pump taps and a suspended vintage roadster overhead giving way to patio seating near the shops. The kitchen leans coastal here with Sesame Crusted Ahi Tuna and a Seared Ahi Tuna Bowl drizzled in sesame-ginger dressing, though the half-pound Burgers of Fame and a Brookie Sundae for dessert stay squarely on the menu too. The hand-hammered copper bar draws its own crowd for a draft beer between rides. Visitors describe it as a reliable, high-energy dinner stop after a day on the beach.
