Pineapple Willy's Reviews

Great restaurant. The wait is a little king but totally worth it.

Love the food, drinks, and atmosphere at Pineapple Willy's!

Good food, atmosphere & service! Love that it's right on the beach. Margarita's we're exceptional!

Every time we go to Panama, we eat here and it is always great. Their shrimp is fantastic, alomg with their alligator tails which i get everytime as well. Our service is always fast and nice when we go there. I also love their sales on shirts and merchandize.

Get there early! It stays packed!
We only had appetizers and drinks but it was good and service was great. I'd def recommend.

Great food better drinks fast and friendly service.

My favorite place to go. Love the atmosphere and food. Staff is very helpful and friendly. You have to visit.

I removed my review and my 1 star and give this establishment 5 stars. Why? Pineapple Willys sincerely cares for each and every guest! BRAVO!!!!!

Loved the frozen margarita in the insulated refillable cup!And the decor n ambiance was on point

Great service and awesome view of the gulf! And the grouper was fantastic!

This is one of our favorite places to eat on vacation Foods great staffs great as long as you're willing to wait just a little bit to eat it's well worth it!

Overpriced and overrated. I expected a long wait (over an hour on a Wednesday) and don't have a gripe with that, but the food was expensive and sub par. Ribs were over cooked, jambalaya was dry and lacked flavor. The staff was pleasant I'll give it that, but unless you're an undeserving teenager who's parents paid for your beach trip, I recommend spending your money elsewhere.

Family friendly atmosphere and lovely scenic ocean view while eating I absolutely enjoyed it

They have the best Al E Gator bites!! Beautiful view! Friendly staff! Mike was a dream full of beans! :)

Awesome food, atmosphere, and service! One of the best restaurants in Panama City Beach. The ribs and fish are absolutely exceptional!

Drinks were good food was ok but the atmosphere was by far the best part!!! Coolest place I've been to in awhile!!

Very good, excellent food, it is a very busy place, with an excellent beach.

This place is AWFUL the food is HORRIBLE and way OVERPRICED! I truly do not understand all the hype of this place.There are far better places to eat in P.C. BCH
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND $

We were seated quickly with a beautiful view. The staff was very happy and helpful. The food was great though just a tad expensive but given the experience it was worth it.

We love Pineapple Willy's. Always have great food and great drinks. The outside seating area is very nice.

Very good quality food with good price. Fast service and friendly staff.

Great food with a great view. The worst part was trying to get in on a busy weekend.

Very nice place, on the water, family friendly, clean and friendly staff.

We ate there Monday night, and it was really good! We had ribs, mahi basket, and the supah chalupah. They were all delicious.
Our service was top notch. I think our server's name was Sam? She was awesome.
Two thumbs up.

The service was good the food came fast.Only reason for my rating is because the drinks are watered down.You pay too much for those drinks to be watered down.

Great customer service, fast turn around on food. Prices typical for a spot like this.

A little costl in my opinion for the portions served. Although flavorful in the bbq. Friendly waitresses and frequently by my table, even tho the place was packed with customers.

Great atmosphere, dining right on the beach. The food was way over priced and not many menu options.

Great food, seating on the beach, and our server was amazing

Our Server Kalane was awesome.Much better then other restaurants we visited while vacationing in PCB.

Good food but the ribs were a little dry this time . Service was ok

The food was really good and the staff was very friendly.

The food was delicious our service was fast our waiter was great we love pineapple Willy's we have to go every time we come to the beach

Food was pretty great. Food came within 3 mins, which would normally be fine with me, but the server asked us how we were doing like 10 times. I think they just try to get people in and out for more turnover and more money maybe.

Great place for fun and food! We make the drive from the Atlanta area just for a day out!

Food and service was fantastic. We had a great time.

Don't have any complaints. We sat outside. The service is really good. Recommend the ribs.

Had the gator bites and they were perfect. My kids even ate them they were so good. Blackened Grouper was perfect...

The Food was AMAZING! Great Atmosphere we really enjoyed our time here.

Friendly staff. Beach access. Little wait time considering it is July.

We had not been to PCB since 2004 but decided to drive over to Pineapple Willys to eat their famous ribs again which I have to say they still fall off the bone just like in 2004. Man I have to say they have expanded a bit but probably had to. Good food gets around when people are on vacation.

Very organized for the check in during busy season for spring break. Came here later in the evening around 9pm, and there were some parking where there is a gate attendant directing traffic at the parking lot.

Food is surprising good. There is a kids menu for $5.99 not including drink. Blackened mahi BLT and mahi bites were pretty good.

Can't see the view at night, but it's right off the beach.

Our favorite PCB restaurant. Kid's beg to go back over and over again! Their chips salsa and cheese appetizer is amazing. Love that you can go next door and get drinks and apps while waiting to be seated.

If you're visiting PCB, Pineapple Willy's is a must! Great food and great atmosphere!

Best ribs in town. The new pier is nice and the staff is great.

Wasn't busy which was good but I like looking at the menu then ordering but the waiter wanted to explain everything on the menu which seemed like forever. Other than that the food was ok and the waiter was cool. I was hungary and when a fat man is hungary....I ain't got time to get the whole menu explained to me....but that's just me.

The best thing they offer are the cups that are allowed in the beach..

Has to be one of the Top 3 Resturants in Panama City. I would get there early if you wanna parking spot other than that food and the staff are amazing

It was a great restaurant being my first time in florida ..the food was delicious..I will defenetly go back . I love the bar close to the beach (run couple feet and ur there) walking back with drinks for all your friends. ..5 stars

If it's your first time try the rib bucket, or shrimp basket, or one of their poor boys, it's all good. Just eat and drink and be merry.
UPDATE...
We just left here. This is our 2nd trip to PCB this year, 2nd trip to Pineapple Willy's. Wow! The Pineapple Willy's drink was amazing. And the Pina Colada drink is equally delicious. Also, our server, Mrs Laura, is without a doubt one of the sweetest and nicest people we have ever met in PCB! People like her, and the amazing food and drinks, are why we will be back for every anniversary in the future!
UPDATE...PART2
Our wonderful server last night, Mrs Laura, talked us both into getting a desert to go; Keylime pie for her, coconut cream pie for me! We just ate our desert today...WOW!!! It was amazing. Keylime and coconut cream pie were both SO GOOD!

Great beach side dining. Fried shrimp was excellent. Wait staff were a little slow considering we were there when it was not very busy.

Great beachfront restaurant over looking the ocean. Deck extends into the ocean giving a nice view of the beach

Sarah the server was absolutely fantastic. We were served quickly and even though she has a few larger parties she was great! Would give 5 stars if not for the situation listed below.
However, as we were leaving there may have been a dispute between customers and the hostess pushed through us, shorter girl, short red hair in a bright pink tshirt, saying she needed a manager, as we were leaving, and we asked what was going on as it put the entire restaurants atmosphere at edge, she said, and I quote "I don't know. I'm not nosey". However, whatever it was sounded like a boom, possibly a thrown chair.
As someone who works in a restaurant this is beyond unacceptable for her to 1. Push through customers. And 2. Have that as a reaction while she had quite literally pushed past us. Unacceptable and she needs to have this brought to her attention. As for the argument that may have been occurring at a table I do not know the seriousness about it but the hostess who reported the situation to the manager needs to be better at dealing with that situation.

Food was great and service was okay, but not worth the automatic 18 percent gratuity they charged my party of 8 which was 4 children who split dinners with the adults. Been a staple of our yearly trip to the gulf for years but that was the last 18 percent Willy will get.

Ate aligator for the first time. Tasted like chicken or lobster

Wen't here twice...once for food...I got the Island Mahi Mahi...twin brother got Mahi Mahi. Both were great...Too much food. Next time i will get the basket or Sub. The second time was evening for music. Very enjoyable experience.

My son and I Got food poisoning from fish dinner, Mahi Mahi

We went to Pineapple Willy's at 600 PM on the Friday before Labor Day. Not our best decision with two children under 4. We were greeted by a nice gentleman who helped us find a, parking spot and then directed us to the hostess. We were seated immediately, and our server, Matt, came by moments later to take our drink order. He saw the state of our children and brought some crackers to help hold them over.

Matt was a God send and got the kids' orders out in less than 10 minutes, even though the restaurant was very busy. The adults' food came about 5 minutes later. The food was large portioned, fresh, and delicious. And it was reasonably priced. Our family of 4 adults and 2 children ate for less than $90 before gratuity.

We will be returning to Pineapple Willy's often. The service and food are hard to beat

One of my favorite places to eat when I visit. I love the ambiance and service I get there. Not to mention a lot of very tasty food. Definitely pleased everyone!

Was closed for the season but was able to reach the pier easily and safely with access for the disabled . Got up and close to see the ocean waves and beach. For some this is as close as possible. Have eaten here many times in the past and the food and service was always top notch and that is the reason for my return visit. Thank you Pineapple Willys 2019

Food had little taste & was over priced. An in addition portions were small. Save your money ,they suck

We always take our out of town guests here to eat. It is a beautiful view and the ribs can't be beat.

My favorite place to eat at PCB. It's a must do for sure. The outside deck is rebuilt and open from the hurricane. They have an awesome wait area with games, a bar, and snacks inside with ac or outside. We only waited 10 min even though it was packed. Family of 5, 2 adults 3 kids. Our boys loved it there. The fried pickles are 2nd to none! Mahi mahi was delicious and the sevcoe was great. We all got souvenir cups and got our photo taken by the staff. The gift shop prices are through the roof though! Best place to go at PCB. We went down to the beach after and enjoyed some beach time and got some great family photos. YOU MUST GO HERE IF YOU GO TO PCB!
