Cool Runnings is a colorful Jamaican restaurant in Panama City Beach that serves delectable dishes prepared to order. We have everything from mouth-watering Jerk Chicken to yum-yum curry goat to lip-s…
i was very skeptical of try this place because i'm annoyingly picky. i'm happy to say i was very satisfied with my order. the meat literally falls off the bone and it has the perfect amount of flavor. the rice was delicious & the festivals, they remind me of a sweeter version of bread sticks, they're not but that's the only way i can think to describe them. they give plenty of food for the price too! i only finished probably 25% of my order so i have a good amount of leftovers. can't wait to try the other options.

I had the large Brown Stew Oxtail entree, it was enough for 2 servings. The oxtail tasty...sweet, rich brown stew flavor. First time having potatoes in oxtail, they were very tender...I prefer oxtail without potatoes but these were delicious.The rice was soft & fluffy & cabbage was tasty. I enjoyed it, food was fresh & warm when it arrived. I would order from here again.

Amazing food. Highly recommend anyone try this terrific restaurant. The portions are large and prices are very reasonable. Would definitely order tonight. Food is made fresh. Oxtail with gravy, rice and peas, and steamed cabbage were all terrific.

Brown Stew Oxtail was tender and tasty.The Curried Chicken was plentiful and quite delicious! Jamaican Beef Patty is a simple but very good snack. We really enjoyed theTropical Rhythm (Fruit Punch) and the Tropical Rhythm (Pineapple Ginger). They were flavorful and refreshing. We come here every time we come to Panama City Beach. They haven't let us down yet. We will definitely come again next year, God Willing!

I ordered large oxtail and paid for side fry chicken but I did not get my chicken. Got like 2.5 pieces of oxtail most has large pieces of fats and big chunks of potatoes. Preparation looks rushed. This is a first. My order has always done properly.
