When there is a line waiting for the restaurant to open....it sets great expectations. In one word: WOW!!! We have found our new favorite breakfast spot. The decor is elevated and welcoming. They offer patio dining that is dog friendly. The staff very genuine & absolutely lovely. The Food! The menu has a great selection and they offer specials. True culinary dishes made with love. I ordered Salmon Benedict. I like that the salmon was grilled and not served smoked. Here's the highlight of the dish, the poached egg. This is by far the best poached egg I have ever had!! Many times your egg will be undercooked or overcooked, it's a gamble. Poaching an egg is an art. The server said that "Alice" herself is the only one poaching the eggs because she doesn't want to trust it with anyone else. Well, Alice is right! She delivers the perfect Eggs Benedict ~ from the egg that's fluffy/airy with the perfect yolk to the English muffin that arrives crisp and not soggy. Hubby had fried Grouper, eggs and parmesan grits. We ate every bite 🍽 If you are a foodie and enjoy food made with love, you have to stop in. #PanamaCity #DonnasFloridaLife Our server Karli was wonderful. She was so sweet! My friend enjoyed her crab cake benedict. The cheese grits didn’t have much flavor in my opinion. I didn’t love the smoked tuna dip or the tortilla chips served with it. They were sweet tasting. Ambiance is nice also- very cute/ beachy inside. Pricing was not bad either. We had a lovely dining experience here! The staff was warm and friendly, and we were seated quickly upon arrival. The restaurant was clean and inviting, with soft jazz music playing in the background that added a nice touch to the atmosphere. One of the best parts was the beautiful view of the bay—it really made the meal feel extra special. Our server was an absolute sweetheart—attentive and kind throughout the evening. We started with the smoked tuna dip appetizer, and it was phenomenal—fresh, smoky, and full of flavor. For our entrées, we ordered two seafood samplers—one blackened, one fried. Both were fresh and well-prepared. The cilantro coleslaw and cheesy grits made great sides, though the grits could’ve used just a bit more seasoning. Still, everything was very good. The star of the night was the wild-caught salmon. We asked for it cooked medium, and it was perfect. The seasoning was delicious, and it melted like butter. It was served with sautéed spinach and red potatoes, which paired nicely with the fish. We finished the meal with the bread pudding—sweet, warm, and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend for a relaxed and satisfying seafood dinner with a view!

This is a great location for the evening views by the water. I have tried this restaurant twice within the last several months. The first time that I tried it, I went during the breakfast hours and experienced a very average dining experience with the food quality being somewhat tasteless and sub-par for the area and pricing. The second time I decided to go for a dinner meal. Again, this was a less than satisfying experience with food quality, and the wait staff being inadequate for the area and pricing. I will not be giving this establishment a third try.

I’ve been going to PCB since I was a kid. But I got to eat at Alice’s last weekend for the first time and WOW. The food was incredible, but the service we received was 10/10. We just got down there, ran to the beach, and haven’t had water in hours. So we kept our waitress RUNNING. I think her name was Anna I hate that I forgot. But she was incredible, she said she had just started and it seemed like she had been doing it for years. So the Food was 10/10, the service was 10/10, and the atmosphere was incredible 10/10. Alice’s is now a go-to spot for my family.
