Providing steak and seafood in a family-owned and inviting environment, C Level Seafood & Steakhouse Restaurant has been serving the Panama City Beach area since 2010. As part of the restaurant’s founding family, the seven siblings, led by the oldest three, Chaz, Rich, and Sean, run the day-to-day operations of the restaurant. Virtually every member of the family, which has grown to 40 members and counting, has at one time or another worked at C Level or contributed in some way to making this Front Beach restaurant a must-visit dining destination in Panama City.
Brothers Chas, Rich and Sean, with the help of their stepfather Randy and their mother Debbie, started C Level as a way to bring local fish and farm ingredients to tables each and every day, complete with a creative menu. C Level has grown from a primarily local hotspot beloved by Panama City residents to one that is enjoyed just as much by tourists visiting the area, thanks in large part to the abundance of social media activity and positive reviews.
At C Level, they believe that quality ingredients make all the difference when it comes to taste and an overall dining experience. Consequently, they utilize local family run businesses to supply their vegetables as well as their seafood, ensuring that virtually all ingredients are locally sourced and supplied. The family aims to provide a level of service and quality that is simply superior to those found at standard dining establishments or chain restaurants, which has led them to frequently say, “Friends don’t let friends eat at franchises.”
While C Level is an ideal location to come in and spend some time eating and simply enjoy the atmosphere, seated either inside or out, this restaurant also specializes in providing the best seafood takeout in the area for tourists or locals alike who just want to stop in and get some food (or a specialty) drink on their way to yet another fun activity or destination. Many guests enjoy taking a drink to-go on the way to the beach to enjoy a day of fun in the sun.
Conveniently located on Front Beach Road in Panama City Beach, many visitors make a visit to C Level part of their routine when coming into or out of the area, while locals will visit at all times. C Level likes to mix things up and ensure there is always something new to try (like new mixed drinks), even for those who have been regular, loyal customers throughout the years. Of course, great service and tasty, flavorful food are always part of the experience.
You must try…
Prime Rib
As the signature dish of C-Level Seafood & Steakhouse, when visiting, you have to try this dish. This famous and much-beloved dish features a herb encrusted, slow-cooked Angus beef prime rib steak with house-made au jus and horseradish sauce.
Local Seafood
Of course, no restaurant specializing in seafood and steak would be complete without the seafood options caught daily from the local waters just off Panama City Beach. Each dish is cooked to perfection and exudes abundant freshness that can only be offered when seafood is freshly caught.
Desserts
To choose just one made-daily dessert from the C Level menu is likely the hardest choice you will have to make when visiting. Beloved options like Grandma B’s Key Lime Pie, Fried Oreos, Peanut Butter Pie, and New York Style Cheese Cake are all great choices. The saying for desserts at C Level is “Something for the soul before you go,” which perfectly exemplifies the conclusion to a delicious meal and a positive experience.
