Pineapple Willy's Reviews

This place was pretty cool.. It lived up to its Google review.. Fast service, drinks and food were good. We had the Calimari for and appetizer..I must say it was the best I have had in PCB so far...I had the Gator poor boy..it was OK....Wife had the Grilled shrimp w/grits...Would recommend, cant wait to try something else. The only down fall is the parking kind of sucked and not much space..but when your that busy..? Its worth the wait...

First experience was not good at all. This time was much better ask for Herbie he was on top of everything. They were very busy and we still got our food fast like we were sitting in a fast food restaurant. Never had to ask for a refill.

Drinks only. Food is outrageously priced and isnt that great

Poor service. We waited at our table 15 minutes before the waitress took our drink order and then it took her about 15 minutes to get back. We never got condiments with our meal and it really was not worth the price . To much hype about the restuarant....

Our waitress named Gabby was very rude would only give us one menu and everyone around us had a menu everyone at every table other than that the food was okay not a big fan of the seating . Will not be back. My opinion thank you

Great place to eat and people watch. Great view of the ocean!

Good food, great service and a great view.. a must visit..

The best restaurant very good service , the staff are really nice !!!

Great Local Place! Even better for our visitor's. Family friendly definitely. Also, fun for just mom and dad during the evening.

The service was great. The nachos were great. Everything else was overrated and overpriced.

Stopped in for dinner while on a weekend trip from Tallahassee. Was absolutely blown away by everything from the great food, to the outstanding service, and the amazing gulf view. Arriving at prime dinner time during a Spring Break rush anywhere else would've resulted in a half-hour+ wait for our food. Not here. We were served in less than 10 minutes. Each of our dishes was amazing, but the Smokehouse Cuban was simply the best. A must- try when in Panama City. I will definitely be back!

It s a tradition every time I visit PCB ->I MUST GO HERE ALWAYS WILL BE TOO The food is awesome and so is the service . Wait wasn t too long either and they were very busy . I love the shop too ,I probably own 20+ willys shirts Anyways you need to go here if your seeing my review I m giving you permission that you ll love it . Until next year Willy

Great atmosphere the food is ok great service. Was not all time favorite

Great food, magnificent setting eating out in the shade on a pier on the beach.

Slushy booze and great seafood on the beach, need I say more?

Perfect embodiment of what a beach side restaurant should be.

This was our second trip to Pineapple Willy's restaurant. Great food and beautiful beach view. We will be back again.

I love this restaurant! The ribs are the BEST! If it's your first time going I would recommend getting the ribs and the Pineapple Willy drink. That is the best combination. You won't be disappointed! Plus you'll get a cool sand bucket for the kids or if you're like me and just a big kid you'll have a sand bucket to play with! Also with it being beach side makes it even better! But they have a great selection of food and drinks. Definitely worth the wait!

Food ..drinks atmosphere are all great...long wait but well worth it

Touristy and the food is just okay but good place to let the kids run around.

Great food; service was ok. Dripping my water from ceiling, notifies staff but he didn t care

Good meal. Relatively quick visit too, considering crowd size. They were busy!

I had the barbeque bucket, it was delicious!! I will definitely return!!

Wow! I figured this would just be a typical tourist trap with overpriced but mediocre food. However, I was pleasantly surprised with amazing ribs and an equally impressive view. The popcorn shrimp was tasty as was the Smoked Cuban sandwich.

Good food with fast and friendly service in a great atmosphere. Friendly staff.

It s amazing in short, can t beat the souvenir shop and the alligator is great.

Can't say enough wonderful things!!! I don't drink but adore their non alcoholic strawberry daiquiri. The seafood baskets are the best! I had the clam strip basket and my hubby got the catch of the day basket. You will NOT be disappointed.

Every year I come here its fantastic... never has willy let me down

I went to pineapple willys for the first time on 4 of july. The food was tasty its not cheap but its worth the price. When i go back to panama city beach florida i will be going to back pineapple willys.

Came in when they first opened so no wait. Staff was nice view was nice food was very very dry.

Great server, but food was average (worse than Dave and busters, for example). Frozen alcoholic drink was close to being a virgin, even with an extra shot thrown in for a buck. Typical tourist trap beach bar.

Good beach food
Good service

It's definitely a place as a tourist you want to go see the food is good it's not quite as great as how I remember it but worth the trip

Been coming for the pass five years and every year the food is even better than before I recommend the shrimp po boy

Great atmosphere!! A little on the pricey side but expected @ Panama City.

Parking was a little rough, but other than that the place was pretty good.

Great food! Great seafood selection. However, ribs only come in 1 lb bucket option to share. It would be nice if they had a smaller option for a single person. The baskets are a great option & provide a great value for the price as the portion is generous. Great view of the beach & ocean too! Gattor bites are yummy!

This has always been one of my favorite places to dine in PCB!!! I visited during Memorial weekend & the service was great in spite of the busyness, the food was excellent, & the atmosphere was fun & upbeat!!
I would definitely recommend visiting here!

Good food, great service, indoor and outdoor seating, right on the beach

Great view of the Beach and direct access to the beach. Good service!

We got the bucket of ribs and the seafood platter to share between 3 adults and had plenty of food. Was neat to be able to try so much stuff and we loved it all. Got the alligator bites for an appetizer and our children just kept wanting more. Delicious! Neat setting, fast and friendly service.

Not as good as they made it to be. Specially the reviews. Place is nice, don't get me wrong. But the food wasn't good at all. Specially for what they charge and I'm not being cheap. I dont have a budget when it comes to getting good food and service. Food was not good and service was kinda to top it off they automatically add an 18% tip to your bill and they expect more. I like to feel like I gave the tip to the servers, not forced on me. When a server knows they are automatically getting an 18% tip they won't work hard to earn it. Just saying.

Delicious food. The service was great and very fast.

Awesome ribs. Won't find them any better anywhere else.

Tourist trap with terrible food. Great location though with plenty of parking (there is an overflow lot just two blocks away). There is also beach access while you are waiting for your seat.

First time visiting and the service was very good and food very good. However, it was disappointing to have looked at the menu on the website and decided on island mahi mahi to find out the menu on the website is not updated. If your going to have a website it would be good to keep it current. Thanks

We are here now as I write my review.

Awesome place. Catch of the day (grouper) was delicious. Especially with a side of crawfish julie. Pineapple coleslaw was bangin! We were in the parking lot 15 minutes before they opened. Soon as they opened we were seated and food hit the table within 20 minutes. That's with a party of 8.

Our server is Matt, and he has kept up with all of us with fine fashion

Atmosphere is great. TVs and sports everywhere. Pet friendly place. Come as you are and enjoy some superb grub.

The place is very famous, so there was an hour and a half wait. However, the wait is totally worth it! There is a bar where you can have drinks and eat some appetizers while you wait, which helped pass the time. The tables, which are on a pier, give an amazing view of the beach and the sunset. The food is amazing, especially the nachos. After that, you can stay at the bar with live performances for as long as you like. Highly recommend!

Paying 25 bucks for ribs getting served them with plastic forks and our beverages in aluminum cans? ribs tasted good, and the idea of the plate being a sand bucket is nice, but the price is way too high.

Vintage locale uniquely situated right over the sand. Fun keepsake drinks. Mahi-mahi w pineapple salsa was very good. Ribs were average. Slightly over-priced and slow service, but worth going once.

"Man what an encounter of smiles and pleasantries" was my reaction after a wonderful experience at Pineapple Willy's..
From Robert's great directional greeting at the door, to (JT) Jennifer's exceptional service... JTs "comfortable, welcome attitude" earned her the spot at the #1..My wife's favorite waitress of her entire life ...great job and worth the sunset wait on their ship deck viewing area...WOW...

The food wasnt good. So greasy and tasted all the same.

They are clearly working hard to rebuild.... but in the meantime, the atmosphere is lacking and I'm disappointed that they serve so much of your meal in STYROFOAM.
Hopefully they will get back to thier former glory and start considering paper, if not actually dishes.
Tuna dip is fantastic.

All I heard from people before going to Florida was You GOTTA eat at Pinapple Willy s ........I would probably go back. Food was good, service was good, but the whole experience didn t really live up to the hype. Waited well over an hour for a table, (a downside to going to a popular restaurant.) couldn t hardly get away from the smell of marijuana in the outside waiting area. We went to a place behind Walmart on Middle beach road, (that I believe is owned by the same people as Pineapple Willy s), called Wicked Wheel. Had a much better experience there with less crowds and better food.

Too expensive and not hot food by the time u get it it isn't hot had to wait forever on butter.

I love this place! It's fantastic every year. Ribs, shrimp, and an amazing view with always fantastic service.
