Takeout in Panama City: order ahead and pick up at the counter
Big Mama's on the Bayou does takeout from 620 W Beach Dr in Panama City. Order ahead on Toast and pick it up at the counter, or call (850) 784-6009 and order by phone. Breakfast runs weekdays from 6:30 to 10:30, lunch from 11 to 2:30, and brunch on weekends from 9. Call to confirm hours before you head over.
How ordering ahead works
Toast is our online ordering. Pick your plate, pay, and walk in to the counter when it is ready. If you would rather talk to a person, call the front counter and order by phone. When we are slammed it may take a minute to pick up.
Delivery options vary, so call and ask what is running that day. Credit cards carry a 3% surcharge, which is printed on the menu.
What to order to go
In the morning, biscuits and gravy, a chicken biscuit or a breakfast sandwich are built to eat in the truck. The Lil Mama's Special is two eggs with grits and toast or a biscuit for $6.25.
At lunch, the meat-and-two is $13.99 and fish with two sides is $15.99. Fried chicken and country fried steak are on every weekday, and the second meat changes by the day. A veggie plate is four sides for $12.50. Grilled shrimp can be swapped in for $1, and a third side is $1.99.
Grab dessert on the way out. A Google reviewer this fall took pecan pie to go and asked who passes on pecan pie.
