Pineapple Willy's Reviews

Where do I start? I wanted to try the Blue raspberry Adult drink but wasn t sure I would like it so our waitress offered me a example and oh my... it was delicious. Their fried pickles are good. I got the ribs and no lie the best ribs I have had. They fell off the bone. Other people at the table said their shrimp was awesome too. If you like key lime pie you must get some. Overall this place was great and we will be back!

Great place for 3 friends to share bucket of ribs that are melt in your mouth good! Disappointed that outdoor dining porch wasn't finished with repairs but looked like it wouldn't be much longer.

I went in without the best expectations because Willys is known to be a tourist trap and in some aspects, it definitely was, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Prices are a little high, but the give you SO much food. And the limited menu really allows them to perfect what they make. I would recommend stopping in at least once and sitting on the back patio right on the ocean. Really nice lunch view!

A must visit in Panama city! Great food, awesome place.

All varieties cuisine offered with fabulous customer service! Indoor and deck dining available with a bar & event Hall with on-site souvenir shop!

Wonderful place! The view is great, the food is great and the people are great! The wait was a little long but that was all on me for choosing the prime dinner time! 5 out of 5 for sure!

Daquris are a must. Great live music. We had bucket of ribs (fall off the bone good), and alligator bites (yum)and peel n eat shrimp (delious). Daquris to go are a definite.

Great daiquiris.. that's about it. Fish wasn't too bad, but everything on the menu is overpriced and not worth the money.

Opens at 10:30 and we decided to give it a shot! AMAZING ATMOSPHERE. There was already a line when we got there at opening so plan ahead. We sat on the pier and our server was Blake. Excellent menu recommendations. Will come back for huge portions. Thanks for the high octane + pina colada = Best Frozen Drink Ever. PSA: Don t forget the floater

Table had a stinky smell, waiter cleaned all the tables with the same dirty cloths that fell on the ground and chairs. Food tasted like frozen food , for the price it was not worth it.

The service was excellent and so was the food. I would highly recommend this place.

Would it be a crime to have some decent seafood that's NOT FRIED?

Very good spot on beach. Food is awesome. Try to come to this place whenever we are in town. Views are great and food (well u gotta try it to believe me) is phenomenal.

Good service. Good food. Great location. Reasonable prices.

190 octane is the drink of choice here, it'll hit you back if you're not careful though! Great food, and good entertainment when they have a band

I love the food here, the ribs are fall of the bone sweet and tender meat, the shrimp is also good, and their frozen alcohol drinks are the great pair for their good food, not to mention the good waiters and awesome location.

We eat here every time we are in town. Good food. Great view.

Great place to eat with an even better view of the emerald beach

I gave it two stars for the food,but the hour and 45 mins we had to wait to sit down is just not worth it. Sure you can order drinks and appetizers while you wait but almost two hours is along time to wait for food pretty much every other restaurant in the area serve.

How can you go to Panama City Beach and not eat at Pineapple Willy's?

Great place to dine! Excellent service from Matt! Good

A must go for a pcb visit. The buck of ribs are excellent plenty of food had about 8 good sized ribs. The daiquiris are pretty awesome too. My wife said it's WORTH the 2 extra dollars for the 32oz one. If Ami is working he is the bomb took great care of everything.

Spring break...what can I say. We went at 6:30 and it was 1.5 hour wait. Well, I m not for waiting so we ordered it to go. We had the clam strips and chicken fingers. Basically it was what is expected, fried food. Nothing out of this world. Go for the name of the place, not the food.

Very good food, excellent. Get Blake if you can, Because he is an excellent server

Always a pleasure visiting this place. Good food, good staff, short wait time, and a delight eating by the ocean. Prices are moderate. Worth a try!

The food was not good Nd thy didn t have a big menu to choose from I was not impressed with them

An excellent choice for dinner tonight. We had a party of 8 so our wait was about 30 minutes. We were seated on the outside deck over the beach, so we had a nice view with dinner. Let me back up a bit to when we were waiting for our table. Numerous time we were hit with a strong smell of marijuana smoke. This just wasn't once or twice. There we kids openly smoking on the boardwalk. That's just a little heads up in case you are offended by that. Now back to my meal. I ordered a redneck lemonade and was given a margarita instead, since I like margaritas I didn't complain. My meal was the bucket of bbq ribs. They were delicious. Others at the table had Shrimp and grits, seafood combo platter, and shrimp platters. Everyone enjoyed their meals and we had a great time!

Very generous servings.. Long wait but over all good experience

Loved it! One of my favorite places when we go down there.

I dont care for the food , not for the price. Could be better

Great place. Been going here for 4 years. Love the ketch of the day basket. Mr. Willy is very nice and was amazing to his employees after hurricane Michael. Great view of the beach. Covid19 restrictions followed very well. Always friendly staff.

I go to Pineapple Willy's everytime I go to PCB. I love the original Pineapple Willy drink and the Fried Grouper Basket. Great ribs, T-shirts and an Awesome view from the pier.

When we arrived, there was a gate in front of the parking lot that said the lot was full. The employee at the gate told me I had to park in the overflow and it was his managers decision. He instructed me overflow the lot was the first street on the right. Well the first street was an apartment building. I drove down for about a half mile and didn't see anywhere that was overflow parking. I turned around and came back to the main lot and I saw at least one spot from the road and asked about it and was still told no. The attached picture is the "full" lot we couldn't park in. I am absolutely disappointed at how this restaurant would turn business away. I was more than happy to wait in my car for an hour in order to get a table. COVID is a poor excuse for this policy, because whether I parked in the main lot or the overflow lot, I'd still be waiting for a table in the main lot. Get your s@#& straight and have a talk with your manager who decided this absurd policy.

On another note, the previous time I was here, the food was just okay. I wouldn't really write home about it. The drinks are probably what sells this place.

Long wait, ok cocktails, food was just just acceptable for such a popular tourist location. Think they count on you being famished after the long wait between seating, ordering, and serving. Wouldn't go back - kind of a been there done that place. Have to say the view of the beach from where we were seated was very nice.

Touristy, but everything was extremely good. The drinks, the food, the atmosphere, and the view. Would definitely recommend

Great food/bar. Short walk out to one of the best sections of the beach in the city during the summer.

I know our visit was above the ordinary. We didn't wait long, we had the best seats in the house, the service was awesome and the food couldn't be beaten.

Love this place great food amazing service and beautiful view

Always good to come back here. Every time we come to Panama City Beach, we have to stop by Pineapple Willy's. If you don't stop here, you have not been to PCB. Food is great and fresh.

It's all about location because the food is
very awful and has been for years so obviously they don't care to make any improvements.

Food was ok, nothing special. Drinks were good and strong. Refills on souvenir cups and can get them to go. Souvenir shop was cute.

It's awesome!! Don't be discouraged by the long waiting lines, they get you through very quickly. The food and service is very good and very quick!

Our waiter was hands down amazing! Thanks for an amazing first time visit!

You may have to wait to get a seat on the deck but the food comes fast and is reasonably priced. Nice staff the few times Ive been there.

Ribs, drinks, and food was really good. Clean restaurant with clean and friendly staff.

We love Pineapple Willy's! We always have to eat there when we are in PCB!

Great service! Food is good too, would like to have more of a variety. Located on the beach and family friendly.

Best resturant ive eatten at in long time. The service was great. The food was good. It came out fast and the atmostfear was awsome. Perfict view of beach and water.

Good service, food was good but not great for the price.

great food and service with a outdoor pier to eat on !

Really busy most of the time, and the prices are a little high, but you can't beat the location and the music is really good.

Love the place
Have told others about the place

Drinks are mediocre. The wait was ridiculous, and the food was less than disappointing! Don't fall for the gimmick because that is all it is.

Overpriced and portion left a lot to be desired. Drinks were weak however paying $20+for juice and a little bit of alcohol and a souvenir cup is a bit much. Portions compared to Pappadeuaxs are laughable at the same price

The location is perfect, right at the beach! The frozen drinks are great! I love the idea of being able to refill your large souvenir cup with a discounted frozen daiquiri! The mahi mahi was AWESOME! We will definitely visit again!

The food is awesome. The drinks are great. The pier dining is fabulous.
