Pineapple Willy's Reviews

Awesome music great food fried alligator was cooked just right

Expensive and food was just ok. Not worth the hype or price.

Good variety. The Mahi Mahi basket is my favorite. Beach views from every seat. Great friendly service. A must place to visit.

Great with TV's with many different channels if you are into that. Complete with a gift shop. The food was delicious and the waiters make the experience way more interesting.

Love Pineapple Willy's. I hope they have it rebuild and open by this summer.

We go to Pineapple Willy's every time we are in town. The food, service, and environment are all great. The ribs here are some of the best around.

Our best dining experience in PCB! The staff was amazing and so was the food! Our server Mike was AMAZING and incredibly attentive! WE WILL BE BACK!

Too cold for people dressed in shorts and t-shirts after a day on the beach in the sun. Ribs are great, everything else (including the mahi mahi) just so so.

Go and get you some YUMMY ribs from Bill Buskell he doesn't charge a cover at Willy s Live, a nightclub that adjoins Pineapple Willy s, his 40-year-old, Gulf-front, landmark restaurant on Thomas Drive. A charge, he figured, would keep out the riff-raff.
But a front-liner suggested that the cover charge was a bad idea. His theory: Drop the charge and people will come and go more freely. Tables will get turned. And, meanwhile, you can discourage undesirables with your choice of music.
OK, Buskell said. We ll try it.
The result: Three-thousand dollar nights became $13,000 nights. Under those circumstances, he had no problem thanking the employee for his idea.
Not that Buskell has always listened to reason. If he had, chances are that he never would have entered the restaurant business.
In the 1970s, Buskell managed and had a modest ownership interest in a 100-room hotel, the Artist Inn, located where Willy s Live is today. When, in 1981, the majority owners got ready to sell the business, Buskell spoke up for a portion of the property that included a bait and sandwich shop. It was made available to him for $1.3 million.

The customer service was trash
I ordered food & was told to get up and move because they had someone who needed the table . While I was eating. I e be told a managers& he did nothing .

Fish sandwich good but a lot of bread... And I love bread! Fries great prime rib sandwich was excellent.. Nice beachy view dining area.. Will return!

Food was good and service was great and our waitress was awesome!

Only 4 stars because their wings are weird. They don't coat the wings in sauce the sauce is served on the side. It's just weird.

Nate made sure we were taken care of and had an amazing time.

You know you're going to overpay for the experience. Family couldn't afford every night, but had to go at least twice!

Great food, the best view and awesome atmosphere. Definatley one of my favorite places to eat.

We have visited Pineapple Willy's several times.
Always great ribs along with a good view and good service. Drinks are awesome with nice big cups you can take home with you. Don't forget your T shirt! We come at least every year if not more than once during one trip and we will continue to do so.
Highly recommend.

One of my favorite place to go when I have people come in from out of town. Lunch or dinner on the beach it don t get to much better than that.

Got the cheese curds and brisket sandwich. It was awesome! Great service too! Thank you!

Very nice waitress, the dinner was amazing and the view and drinks where also. Definitely a must go if your on vacation!

Love their popcorn shrimp and chicken tenders. Try the pineapple Willy drink. Yum! Great customer service. Will go again.

Friendly staff- well organized. Food was amazing, drinks were amazing the view is to die for! We went early in the afternoon for An early dinner and got right in. Highly recommend!

Drinks are good.
Wasn't impressed with the seafood platter. Very bland and all fried.
Everything tasted the same

This is a tourist type of place, and was one of the first rebuilt after Michael. Been eating at this establishment for close to a decade. The food is consistent, and the location and view is outstanding.

Love it! Food is above average. Great staff and great views.

Friggin awesome food and our server Miranda was the truth

Just ate here the other night! Awesome food for a great price! The atmosphere is also a lot of fun! Great for all ages. And our server (I believe her name was Megan) was super sweet! Definitely recommend!

The only way to actually dine on the gulf here in town. The food is good, but a little pricey. They do not have a burger so of that's what you're after you will have to go to their sister restaurant, Wicked Wheel. The owner is a great man who is active in the community.

Great service and food/ drinks definitely recommend coming here to eat

Good food, good service, the BEST Pina Coladas. I always make sure to stop by Pineapple Willy's, even if its solely for pina colada, when I'm in Florida!

We had the alligator, it was amazing! Atmosphere was great and the wait was quick

Definitely recommend it if you're in the Panama area.

First I will say the wait staff is wonderful and I had ribs and fries and fried pickles. I think the ribs are good for what they are and food was good enough but I have had better. Very popular local place but maybe I was geared up for all you can eat crab legs and that plan fell thru so I will leave 3 stars instead of 2.

Food was decent, but not what we were expecting. Both of orders were wrong and when I said something to the kid that brought it out, he told me that what he was giving us was the correct order when it was clearly the wrong kind of fish. The waitress corrected the ticket and gave us some free shrimp. Decent, but not great seafood. AWESOME atmosphere.

Little high prices but worth the money. They have really good food will go back here.

The food and service was great, very nice staff... Really enjoyed

It's okay. I probably wouldn't return. The view was the best part, the food was overpriced captain d's. I'm not sure what the hype is about this place. It cost us $100 for 2 adults and 2 children (2 and 8)

We loved Pineapple Willy's. Great food and better drinks.

L A M E ! ! !
32oz Pineapple Willy = 20oz ice + 10oz water + other. Total waste of my $14! Ugh

Best seafood in panama city! Service was wonderful and the drinks are perfect!

Just WOW! We've go here everytime we're in town and have yet to have a bad experience. The food is amazing and the view is second to none

Rick and staff are awesome!
Love this place
Beautiful view

Like the service quick and on time with the food very friendly atmosphere was great and the food was great, Thanks Pineapple Willy's.

Great staff and even better food. Their fish and chips are out of this world.

Always on our list when we are in PCB . Cannot beat the view. Food and service are excellent.

The staff for the parking lot was very rude in particular the gentlemen with the silver hair and large amount of chewing tobacco in his mouth. The main lot was full so he sent us to another lot that was also full. When we drove back to the main lot to ask were we should park he looked at us laughed and said "To bad for you it summer time you should have gotten here earlier." The last time we were here the food was good but since he couldn't direct us to another lot you all lost business from a party of 20!

3rd best restaurant I ve every ate at and the best service I ve ever had. food was amazing and wait was only about 10 minutes on a packed night. fair price on how great the food is.

Great Place Little Pricey for what you get in the Restaurant

The food here is simply fantastic, there's no other way to put it. I love the tropical atmosphere, especially on a warm day :-) the service is really great. This is definitely a place worth checking out! Love it!

Oh yes super food to eats great drinks before.. Great tea with meal.. Fantastic food

Very busy place, long wait time, but food is excellent!!!!!!! Will go again!

Kaylyn was amazing. Food was alright, but not worth the price. Wait time was outrageous, but to be expected on Saturday night.

The drinks are good. That s about it. Everything else is overpriced. It fried seafood that you can get just about anywhere. It s not even seasoned well. BIG disappointment.

Baby back ribs delicious not a lot of nonfried healthy options. Long wait plan ahead and go early
