GetChewaBox Street Kitchen

GetChewaBox Street Kitchen operates out of a storefront at 1415 East 5th Street in Panama City, a location the business itself frames as the next step in a story that started small: the restaurant’s own account describes beginning as a home based box delivery service, moving into a food truck, and only recently opening this brick and mortar location in 2025. That kind of growth path, from home kitchen to food truck to a fixed address, is exactly the sort of local food story that fits the working character of Panama City’s neighborhoods east of downtown.

The menu is seafood focused and built around casual, shareable food: po’boy sandwiches, fried seafood plates, chicken wings, and a rotating list of chef specials that change based on what the kitchen has decided to run that week. The restaurant’s own framing emphasizes serving the local community with fresh, flavorful dishes rather than positioning itself as a tourist destination, and its hours reflect a kitchen still building its rhythm as a full restaurant: closed Monday and Tuesday, open Wednesday through Friday from 11 in the morning to 9 at night, extending to 10 on Saturday, and a shorter Sunday schedule from 11 to 6.

GetChewaBox’s address checks out through federal address verification as sitting inside Panama City rather than in one of the surrounding towns, in the area near Millville east of downtown. That neighborhood has its own food history in Panama City, anchored by Gene’s Oyster Bar not far away, and GetChewaBox’s arrival as a brick and mortar restaurant adds a newer, more casual option to that same part of the city.

Because the business is relatively new as a fixed location restaurant, having only opened its storefront in 2025, there is less independent documentation available on GetChewaBox than on some of Panama City’s longer standing restaurants. Its own website is currently the clearest source for hours, menu, and contact information, and a visitor should treat that as reliable but not yet cross checked against an independent directory or press feature the way an older, more established restaurant would be. What is clear is that the business is real, operating, and located squarely within Panama City city limits.
