With many different areas to eat at its like a different restaurant every time you go. One area is like a sports bar. Another area is like a beach side hang out were you get some drinks and enjoy the view. And of course the area most people think of when they think of a beach side restaurant is the eating outside on the pier. The food was good and during the weekend the apps are half off in the sports bar area. If you like so frozen drinks I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to get on of their collectable cups for the ability to get discounted refills every time you go.

We was excited to try Pineapple Willy's and finally made our way there to eat. We started off with fried pickles, which we left 3/4's of the order on the table when we left. They were not appealing in any form. My husband and I shared a Grilled Shrimp meal and when we got our dinner, we were ready to go before we even started to eat it based off appearance. This place is a high priced fast food restaurant, that claims to be everything but. EVERYTHING definitely came from frozen bags . It reminded me of our younger days and "bar food". Our waitress was nothing to talk about. She never offered us any refills on our drinks at all. Save yourself the trouble and pick a different restaurant all together.
Their rib bucket is always tasty as well as their gator bites appetizer. They also have some of the softest shirts as well. This is now our new traditional place to eat at during our vacation. We go at least once per trip.
I believe our waitors name was Chris, really friendly and awesome. Food was perfect. I got the shrimp basket with fries and it filled me up and I eat a lot. The hostess girls up front were kind of rude and snobby. After I was seated I asked if we could seat closer to the window because it was my first experience there and eating while looking at the ocean is nice so I asked if we could move and she moved us closer but not by the window and there were open tables but then she laughed at us. Hostess girls are like high school girls hat were goofing off and rude. Other than that food was great, clean place, great waitor and I'll be back!!
This place was a pleasant surprise. 15 minute wait time for an outside table on a Friday night, amazing. Catch of the day: redfish, amazing. 11 bucks for a 24oz cocktail in a take home cup, awesome.
Service was on point for a busy night as well. It's now readily apparent as to how this place has survived for so long in a town like PCB. Good job to the staff.
The Pineapple Willy drink is awesome. The food was good and the waiter was excellent. There was a large group that came in and were seated on the same room. They were loud and ruined the atmosphere of dining.
We ate here because they allow dogs. Decided to go later in the evening, around 9pm. The deck was very nice, the blinds were pulled but no biggie....Can't see out in the dark anyway but the sound of the ocean was very nice. The food was as some people described....Standard beach fare with a high price, but they were good to my dogs and the service was perfect.
A very enjoyable place to share a meal, especially if children are involved. We were seated out on the boardwalk and got to watch a great sunset along with our great food. The menu was diverse and service was very personable.
I was really excited to go here but my waitress was so rude that I'll never go back. Never brought me water. Wouldn't sell me alcohol when my ID was one day expired. Ruined my day screw this place! Zero stars!
I agree with Chase98's review. I wasn't impressed with the food. I really expected the food to be better. I can get overbreaded fried shrimp at any convenience store in Odessa, Texas and probably for less $$.
Nice and fun restaurant that's right on the beach. It's very busy and wait time a usually long, we ended up getting our food to go which is waaay faster but we did enjoy a drink at the bar before leaving. The food was ok.
I love the food. It is SOO good. It is beside the beach and it has a spectacular view of the ocean. I DEDFENTLY reccomend it! It has a gift shop with merch as well.
We were seated in under 10 min. Server Jarrod was outstanding . We had the blackened mahi- mahi with pineapple salsa, and blackened shrimp. Both were cooked to perfection. Bill was under $60. The atmosphere is friendly and we sat outside looking at the gulf. This is one place you don't want to pass up.
Our waiter Nate was the best waiter I've ever had at any restaurant. His local knowledge of the area was really helpful and he seemed eager to share. Oh and the food was delicious too my family has been coming here for several years.
Absolutely love going to Pineapple Willy's whenever we are at Panama City Beach they have a great variety of seafood and sometimes some pretty good live music.
Enjoyed our experience at Pineapple Willy s restaurant last night. Upon arrival, we were somewhat confused as to how to find the hostess but eventually did. Put our name in and were quickly given information about this expansive restaurant. We ended up in a large room with a bar and several tables where, while waiting for your table, you can enjoy appetizers and drinks plus listen to some good live music. We were told we would have a one hour and 15 minute wait but no more did we get our appetizer then our buzzer was going off. We were seated promptly in a different area of the restaurant and our waitress was Katie who was very helpful and recommended the ribs highly. These were fall off the bone good and came with a side of baked beans and pineapple coleslaw, both of which were somewhat average. My friend ordered the fried shrimp which she enjoyed. We both went home with large boxes of leftovers. Our appetizer was the onion rings which came with two different sauces. They were very good also. This is a great place for families because you don t have to wait outside for a table if you don t want to do. My only complaint on this restaurant was being forced to buy souvenir plastic mugs for our drinks which neither of us wanted. We even left them on the table upon our departure. My suitcase can only hold so much! Plus, I m all about cutting back on plastic when we can.
First time visiting Pineapple Willy's. Very good experience. Ate out on the pier and was very pleased. Shrimp basket was delicious! Excellent service too!
The restaurant itself was very nice.food was delicious. Our server wasn't good at all .she made our first experience very bad so not sure if ill go back.
Went to place a takeout order. Manager was extremely nice and showed me where I needed to go. Person taking my order was great. Food was prepared quickly and every bit of it was delicious.
When they say, 'generous portions', it's definitely the truth! We had more than we could handle & had to get a to go plate for leftovers. Ate outside & that was a beautiful sight.
I really dont understand the hype of this place. Staff a is fine, facility is fine. They have done a great job at marketing that pineapple logo, but when it comes down to quality food...it is a total "meh". I've been there twice now and both time disappointed. The quality of food they serve versus what you pay are in two different leagues.
There are FAR better places to eat in PCB.
But you want a drink with a wooden deck on the beach, this is your place.
TERRIBLE SERVICE. Me and my friends family recently attended this restraunt and we received horrible service. They wanted to charge us gratuity even though people beside us wasn't on our same check of same order so they had no reason to charge us for that. The waiter was very rude and continued to argue with my friends dad and threw the check on the ground. We refused to pay until he picked up our check and handed it to us politely. He then began to say that we were taking money from his pocket. We did not pay the gratuity and left. Don't recommend going here. The service was terrible and the food is over priced.
