Pineapple Willy's Reviews

My wife and I always make Pineapple Willy's our first stop for dinner.People complain about wait times, and price. If want quick and cheap find a fast food drive through. Remember you're in one of the most populated vacation spots in the south. You wait because it's popular, it's popular because the food is quality and awesome, so have a drink and relax it's definitely worth the wait.

Very attentive staff, good menu of beach food, still recovering from Hurricane Michael

Very good food, extremely long wait times for a table, even at 10pm!

Famous restaurant right on the beach. Food is good. Prices are high for what you get.

They fry all food together so if you have shellfish allergy don't eat anything fried here

Pineapple Willy's is a must go to restaurant when you are at PCB. The food is phenomenal and so is the service. Had dinner here one evening then made a point to stop by for our last lunch meal before heading home.

Went in about 45 minutes before closing time, a party of 9. Didn't get seated until after they officially closed. Still got great service and fresh and hot food. Although we didn't linger long we were not rushed out!

First time going after my lovely wife had been there a long time ago and had suggested that we go there. Loved the service and the food. The drinks was great. Will return on the next trip to PCB.

Service was great. Food wasn't all that everyone hyped it up to be.

Excellent server but food was average... appetizer was good n wifes salad was delicious and portion great but my dinner just seemed pre-heated up. Sorry.

Our server was not very animated, he just did his job, but he did it fine. The catch of the day (some white fish) on my blt was dry. The pineapple coleslaw was very acidic, it almost made my tongue burn/tingle. But... the inside band sounded great and our drinks were delicious. You can always count on a good drink here!

Excellent views from deck, great food. A little pricey for what it is, but it is vacation. :)

HANDS DOWN this place is GREAT ! Love the food atmosphere and location! Super great service and food arrived fast hot and delicious!

Fair to Midland. Party place, party atmosphere. Mediocre food. Great drinks.

Food was great! We had an amazing waitress named Jennifer. Best coustmer service I have ever had.

Great place to catch a meal! View is spectacular and the food is good.

Little disappointed. Food ( chicken breast dinner) could have been hotter. Can't beat view

Great place to sit outside and eat delicious food and have a cocktail!

I was blown away by the service we had today. Taylor was our server, and she could not have been more fantastic. I mentioned my food allergy to her (onion and bell pepper). I had chosen a dish I felt was safe, but she still put allergy into the system to make sure. Melissa, the GM, came out with a binder containing the entire menu and the ingredients. She went through everything I ordered, and made sure it was safe to eat. She even advised me to not get the French fries since they are cooked in the same oil as the onion rings. I have NEVER had someone take it as seriously as they did. In the middle of the spring break rush they stepped up and made sure I knew every ingredient in what I ordered. I am so appreciative for them going above and beyond today. Thank you Taylor and Melissa.

Server was friendly and attentive. Lots of food and it was hot and delicious. I really loved the outdoor seating overlooking the beach. Will definitely visit again!

Nice location for a romantic dinner by the ocean. We were happy with our experience at this restaurant. Everyone working here seemed very friendly. Food was typically American but was cooked very nicely.

The best Pineapple Slaw everrrr. My husband and I loveee this place!! Don't go by the bad reviews. Try it yourself. I don't think you will regret it. This is the one restaurant that I just absolutely HAVE to go to!!!!

Great time meeting friends enjoyed the frozen drinks, but long wait. It is what it is!

Menu was very limited from what we had seen before but the mahi mahi was very good. No draft beer which is always a downer for me. Cool place, though, and I'm sure it's a ton of fun at the right time!

Impeccable Service! This place is great! Love, love, love the ribs! The best I've had! It can be a bit pricey, but considering the service and the view, it's worth it. Be sure to arrive early as it is not usual to have a 2 hr wait during peak times.

Typical tourist trap. Mediocre fried food makes up a majority of the menu and staff didn't seem to care if you were having a good experience or not.

Good menu, standard prices for the beach. They have an extended deck that goes out by the ocean. No draft beer which I didn't care for but bottles and cans. I had a chef salad, it was good, waiter was nice. No complaints here.

Arrived at 4:30 to avoid the crowd so we were able to park close. The food was excellent, the service was great and it was very quick. You have to go here when you are in PCB.

Love this place. The ribs are kind of expensive, but man they are good!

They tried to seat us by a clean up cart overflowing with discarded food and spray cleaners. (Even though the place was almost empty) Bus boys were stoned or hung over. Server recommended ribs - Do Not Eat - you will be revolted. Seriously bad food and attitude.

One of the best, if not the best, places we ate at while in Panama City Beach. Good enough that I'm sure next visit we'll eat there a few times. Between the atmosphere of eating on the peir over looking the water. The friendly staff. The really good food. And the great drinks. You can't beat it. We spent more money eating elsewhere and wasn't as happy. We highly recommend Pineapple Willy's... 5 Stars PLUS!!!

Great food and friendly staff. The gift shop is neat and a great way to pass time while waiting to be seated.

Great beach location as this restaurant sits on its own pier in condo land. The wind can be pretty strong on the pier and the food is served in baskets (besides the ribs) instead of on heavy plates. Family ordered sandwiches and all gave thumbs up. I ordered the famous ribs (which came in a sand castle bucket you get to keep) and was very happy with my choice. Drinks were the normal Fat Tuesday drinks. Great tasting, strong and a little pricey. We ordered the pineapple Willy and 190 octane. Both packed a punch and both would be ordered again. Timing your dining is very important at this place. In the evening you can easily expect to wait an hour or so more. Recommend trying to go in between lunch and the dinner rush if you want to try it out. Although if you want to be in the midst of the chaos hit the place when night falls for a great time. Parking comes at a premium as this place is neatled in between several condos. Finding a spot in the smallish parking lot requires some luck. Otherwise you are hunting for a spot on the street down the road.

Had a tremendous time here. The live music was great. The vibe inside and out on the beach was fun. Friendly staff. Po boys were yummy, drinks were strong.

This place has great drinks and a good atmosphere especially if you're there to watch the sunset it's a bit pricey

Closed for now because of the hurricane. Should be back in February. Very fun place, but quite a bit overpriced. Sorry Pwillys, just being honest. I will say again a very fun place so at least worth a visit.

We visit Pineapple Willys every time we come to PCB,and, its a great time, EVERY time! Looking to try something new? Get some fried alligator...its delicious!

Loved this place! Super fast and very good food for a good price! Mahi Mahi was to die for and so was the shrimp po-boy! I will 100% be eating here again!

Service and food were amazing! Highly recommended if in the area!

Great food, fun vibe. Very long wait at dinner time, but worth it

I absolutely love it great food and friendly atmosphere to see old friends from hundreds of miles away to meet

It's great f my first time! Me and my family can't wait to go back!!

Food was excellent sitting on the pier looking across the beach was fantastic

It s okay pub food. The service is mixed- friendly servers, but I ve been twice ( staying next door) and every time I have to ask for regular stuff fork, napkin, salt and pepper, I ve had corn each time - raise your hand if you eat butter in your corn have to ask for butter each time. Then as soon as I get my butter and butter my corn she tries to take my plate! It s okay, I m sure there are better places without we just hired the staff that never worked in a restaurant before

Novelty restaurant on the beach where the food is mediocre at best and definitely overpriced for what you get. Ordered some ribs for about $25 and seemed like the same batch that you would get at a Texas Roadhouse. My wife got a seafood platter for about $28 and she said it was okay, but nothing special. In the end, you're paying for the location, not the food.

Food was ok but some staff members weren't wearing their masks correctly or at all

I have never been to before until I last vacation and I loved it and my friends loved it we had a great time while we were there and we all got a picture made best time.

The best place for seafood and drinks in pcb we eat here everytime we our in town love this place

Little wait,but well worth it,great food,great service,we had a party of 13.

Best place to visit when your in Panama city beach!

Pro: Good location (we like seating on the pier). Good food. Friendly staff. Very simple menu that enables them to get the food to our table quick. We were there twice. Both times it was crowded but it took them no more than 10 minutes to get the food to our table from the time their staff took our order. Con: stick to sodas or water. I tried 2 different drinks, they were yucky.

Best food,best service. Nathan Christy is the best server ever. The food and drinks that he recommends was perfect. I give a 10.

If you like a long wait only to get to your table and wait another 20 minutes for a server to come, this is the place for you. After being seated we asked two staff members if we could get a server, when we finally got up to leave a waitress came running over and said oh you don't have to go?? I told her I could only imagine how long it would take to actually get a drink and some food, she says "not my problem mister" . I think the problem is here they are in a good location and do so much business they really don't care. I will never go back, try Sharkys or if you want top quality food and service Captain Andersons

Great food and service. Beautiful views of the ocean.
