Cooking With Heart, Just Like Granny Would
We bring you Southern food the way it was meant to be—made fresh daily, served with care, and always filling.
A Tradition That Started at the Table
Granny Cantrell’s Restaurant has been part of Panama City since 2002. We started with one goal—serve good, honest food just like Granny made. We wanted a place where people could sit down, relax, and enjoy meals that felt like home. That’s still what we do every single day.
What Makes Us Different
Our food is made from scratch daily. We’ve won the Best of Bay award nine years in a row, and it means the world to us. But the real win is seeing our guests come back again and again. That tells us we’re doing something right. Our meals are made with care, served in a casual space that feels like home.
Food Made with Heart
At Granny Cantrell’s, we cook the way we’d feed our own family—with care, honesty, and heart. Our mission is simple: serve real Southern food that feels like home. From fried chicken, pot roast, and pulled pork to grits, greens, and hoecakes, there’s something for everyone. We keep it fresh, with a full salad bar and homemade pies baked right here. As long as you’re hungry, we’ll keep cooking.
