We were just there last week! :-) (and have gone several times in that past).
We've been to some touristy spots that were good. Pineapple Willy's is a good bet.
We always have to hit a Whataburger since they don't have those where we live (it's on the back beach road)
We ate beach-side this year at Sharky's - It was awesome! We had about an hour wait. We just got drinks from the bar (in a souvenir insulated mug) and chilled by the beach for a while. They had live music that was very good and wasn't so loud that we couldn't converse w/ our friends. Crab legs were awesome! A word of warning … My friend's DH got an oyster shot and he said is was SUPER SPICY! and he likes spicy stuff! LOL
We almost always eat at Bayou Bill's. It's on the far west-end. They have alligators in the front and you can get your picture with one. They have a really good seafood menu if you like that type of food. DH gets a cheeseburger! LOL
For donuts, there is "Thomas' Donuts" on Front Beach Road - on the west end. Awesome donuts and great lunches / snacks - Be prepared for a line, but it's worth the wait!
There are lots of eating places in Pier Park along w/ shopping etc …
We rent a townhome/villa so we do lots of meals at home and usually just eat out a few times as it can get expensive! (Especially if you like crab legs! LOL)
Some places I wanted to try, but will have to wait until next time … Salty Sue's and Captain Anderson's buffet.
Have a fabulous trip!

Thomas Donuts for sure! Donuts and kolaches for breakfast is a tradition for us. Be prepared for a long line.
Next door is his ice cream shop. Best ice cream ever! About 30 flavors and a deck with a beach view.
Mike's Seafood for oysters and the attached diner for breakfast. Get the Mike's oysters. Their fried shrimp is good too.
Fattys for amazing and unique sandwiches and wraps. Super casual, hippie (obviously) vibe.
If you have access to a kitchen, go to Buddy's Steam Bar and pick out shrimp and crab, have them steam it and take it home to eat with some easy sides. They close early though. Last steam at 5:45.

Never been to PCB but we go to Destin and always eat at Pompano Joe’s. They have a restaurant in PCB as well. I’d recommend for sure!

If you want to sit by the water and eat, I like Schooners (but it can have a long wait), Sister's by the Sea, Boon Docks, Barefoot Hide-A-Way Grill (which also has a good breakfast)
For ice cream, I like the Pink Pelican. I am only familiar with one donut place there (Thomas' Donuts) and they have ice cream too but I've never had their ice cream before..heard it is good though.
For some good beignets and amazing snow cones - try David's Cafe & Sno-Balls

Last year was the first time we had been in a long time. I asked for some suggestions from a friend. Here's some she recommended and we took her up on and some we found on our own -
The Sandbar - kind of a hole in the wall but was really good.
Runaway Island - beachside and really good food. Great atmosphere.
Harpoon Harry's - again beachside and great food and service.
Pineapple Willy's and Sharkeys are always a hit (and somewhat crowded). Captain Anderson's is a higher end place but eh, isnt as great as it once was, IMO.
