Pineapple Willy's Reviews

Great food and place to eat out on the covered deck!!

Ample portions; heads up wait staff; roomy accommodations, excellent tastes!

We go here every time we come to Panama. Absolutely love it.

Good food, good atmosphere, picture was taken from our table.

Great atmosphere, wonderful food, our server was great, and they're quick.

The Best thing about the place was the Hostest, everything was exceptional from the drinks & shopping 2 the meal & atmosphere; but the waitress was #1.

Never in my life have I gotten my food at a restaurant that fast.

The bbq ribs are awesome and so are the fried pickles

Nothing great about food. We ordered one pound ribs, cajun jambalaya, seafood platter & shrimp and grits. Ribs were just ok but were definitely over priced. Cajun jambalaya wasn t any better than fried rice you can get from any corner wings places. Seafood platter was full of overstocked ingredients I guess. Shrimps and grits was just ok, nothing special. Staffs are friendly and view is ok. I m so amazed people are willing to wait for more than an hour for these foods and pay for these prices...

Awesome food and service..6 pm and we sat down immediately. Food was higher than most restaurants in Panama City Beach but there was plenty of it.

Food was average. Service was really good. Drinks are very popular. Expect a long wait of more than a hour if you arrive during dinner rush

The alligator and fried cheese curds were really good. The wait on a Thursday night at 9:00 was 1.5 hours! Everyone got their food order but me. They forgot my order, then when I got it they brought it to me in a plastic to go box not a plate! And the order was wrong and they tried to charge me extra for the incorrect order and NEVER did get it right! So you figure it out on the two stars

Way too crowded for my tastes. Menu is lacking a lot of options in my opinion, but the food is pretty good.

Good food selections and great scenery. Go every trip just for the nostalgia! Eat early if you want a parking place. Very limited parking for such a popular restaurant.

Who doesn't like gulf breeze while drinking your favorite beverage

Atmosphere is awesome!! It s fun and the food is great!!

We got lucky by having the very last seat at the end of the pier so it felt like we were eating on the beach! Great service, food and drinks!

Love this place...so cool that the deck is more like a covered pier with picnic tables that jets out towards the water across the beach. Great food, drinks, service & view.

The food was great it just had a long wait time to get seated the parking lot's get filled up quickly

Ok food. Probably aptly priced for at the beach. Service was great. We live 100 miles from any beach and get just as good or better seafood for half the price. I have been told that they give back generously to the community.

Service was great. Food was delicious. Best daiquiris by far. Love sitting outside on the pier. Its so relaxing.

Great hangout. Laid Back atmosphere with some of the best fall off the bone ribs. Super view of Beach and sunsets.

My little sister and I came here during our vacation and loved it. We had quick seating and all the staff were great. Specifically our waiter and waiter in training, Murray & Gene, were fabulous. They were cheerful and upbeat, gave great recommendations, and made our service fantastic. And our food was amazing, we ate every last bite! I would definitely recommend this place and will certainly be back when I come back to Panama City!

Live shows were awesome!!! My first time here with friends. Great food and seasoned very well. Keep up the great work. Will return soon.

First, the view is absolutely FANTASTIC! I got grilled, blackened catch of the day (redfish). The flavor was delicious, but the fish was a bit too dry. It was served with a heaping pile of baby potatoes, which were perfectly cooked, corn on the cob, and a piece of Texas toast. $22 + $2 for the blackening which I didn't think was a bad price. Certainly not for fresh seafood right on the beach. The sis in law had a catch of the day BLT and driws, which she said was good.

Food isn t the best, but it is a really nice spot for a good view and good drinks. One of the best I am view restaurant spots on the beach

Even though it was a tourist destination I really loved the food.

Dining out on the deck is the best ,great ocean view

Pleasantly surprised by the food. Great Shrimp Po Boy's and Cuban Smokehouse!! Excellent service as well.

The waitress was slow and took to long for refills, had to ask serval times for refills.

Wasn't impressed not sure why it's such a popular thing to do. Sitting on a deck sweating with no fans while trying to eat hot food that reminded me of the food you buy from a concession stand at a high school ballgame for half the price! So if you like that then go for it! As for me its just not my cup of tea

Good food service is great the gift shop has some pretty sweet shirts also stop in and food was fast to the table.

got food poisoning on our honey moon!!!! Everyone raved about this place, but come to find out it was a horrible experience! We had the alligator bits and the shrimp dinners. Service was terrible! Our drinks got refilled once.. they maybe had 10 people in the outside seating.... the server was really nice though.. but she would much rather stand around and talk then wait on her tables. Never going back!

Good food lil pricey but for the beach it's not bad and the drinks are good and you can refill your souvenir cups

Good place for travelers good drinks, good location!

I'm not one to write many reviews, because if you can't say something nice... So from start to finish, Pineapple Willy's in Panama City Beach is as good as a restaurant can get. First, they have parking attendants to make sure there is parking for their patrons. Next, they told us our wait for outside seating was 5 to 10 minutes. It was less than 2 minutes and they had someone take us to an awesome seat with an awesome view. Our waiter, Jacob is as good as a waiter can be. Very friendly and confident in his product. He knew his menu without exception and didn't talk with too much chit-chat. We were one of the furthest tables from the kitchen and he seemed to always be there before we needed him. The place was packed and we thought the food would take a while, but it came out in literally a few minutes! At first I thought it was a mistake, but it was indeed our food. Everything arrived EXACTLY as we ordered it and the food was outstanding! Jacob quickly checked on us regularly and had our tab ready when we were. We had to tell the Manager, Robin, who seemed appreciative to hear some good comments. I could tell she was very proud to work there and radiated the same confidence which Jacob had. Do not miss eating at Pineapple Willy's when you visit Panama City Beach. They far exceed any expectations we had. It was just great and THANK YOU PINEAPPLE WILLY'S FOR A GREAT EXPERIENCE!

A super great place to eat. Staff is very friendly. The service is quick and great. One of my favorite places to eat.

Nice beach view , friendly staff , good food n good drinks

Trust me the food is worth the money when your looking for a well made seafood meal, especially with the deck view towards the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, the service is beyond great, lets you keep cups afterwards which not many restaurants do these days, and public beach accesses around it making it a perfect stop for lunch and or dinner when out in the beach, as I said before this a definitely a place to go when visiting panama city.

WENT YESTERDAY CAME FROM DESTIN FLORIDA WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND $80 I ordered a daiquiri showed ID they still brought back a non alcoholic beverage I ordered a oyster poy boy and my boyfriend had a shrimp poy boy BOTH WERE COLD AND NO ONE WANTED TO FIX OUR MEAL BECAUSE THEY WERE BUSY WHICH THEY ARE ALWAYS BUSY I AM MILITARY AND WILL BE SPREADING THE WORD IN DESTIN FORT WALTON BEACH AND FURTHER I WOULDVE ATE BETTER IN DESTIN AND WILL NEVER BE BACK AGAIN

My husband and I ate here twice during our weekend stay at PCB. The fresh grilled scamp grouper was delicious. Beautiful view of ocean and sunset. Mike and Murray took excellent care of us and were fun to talk with - thanks guys!

Great with great view, but don't get the ribs. Stick with seafood.

Love pineapple willy's. Frozen tropical punch is STRONG and tasty

Visited yesterday & waiter name David had an awful attitude.

Food was mediocre, service was fast and friendly. The place was packed but it only took 45 min to be seated. The view was great. Not a huge selection on the menu though.

Good and service were both so-so. The ribs are not worth their cost.

Great quick service. Food was good and was a reasonable price.

I have been several times and love the food. The prices are decent but our most recent visit was a bad one to say the least. It was our last day of vacation so we decided to stop for lunch on the way out of town but we had our camper. I got the camper backed in and parked by the road only to be met by a rude employee. He told me we had to leave because the camper took up too much space. He said it wasn't cost effective for us to take up several parking spots since we only had 4 people in our party. I understand the business aspect behind this decision but they had just opened and the parking lot wasn't even a fourth of the way full. We wouldn't have taken any spots away. We were parked as far from the door as you can get to ensure we wouldn't be in the way but were told we would be towed we didn't leave. Needless to say we will not returning in the future.

Food was great && workers was amazing!!! Great view hands done one of the best kid friendly Restaurant around!!

A PCB icon! Great seafood, sandwiches, drinks, etc. To avoid a crowd, go for an early lunch when they open. Seating inside and outside near the Gulf.

Great location and drinks. Go somewhere else to eat.
