Pineapple Willy's Reviews

They charged my card three times for $164 and then said it was a sever issue. No time table when I would get my money back.

Great beachside experience, fun atmosphere and their signature refillable cups with Pineapple Willy is awesone!!

Megan was super awesome! She made sure we were tooken care of and more. I ve been told to go to a bunch of other restaurants because this one is overrated but I m glad I came back. Food was great and drinks were awesome as well. My fav is the pineapple Willy drink.

Great place for frozen cocktails. Family friendly food and drinks available also. Outdoor seating creates an inviting atmosphere. Our server Jessie was the bomb!!

This was our first visit to Pineapple Willy's Restaurant in Panama. Great and friendly service and the food is fantastic! Can't beat that view either.

Everytime I come to PCB, I make a point to be there! Coming to PW since I was a kid! Great food, great views of Gulf, GREAT!

Enjoyed the food and service. The pineapple willy drink was good.

Of course everyone knows Pineapple Willy's is an awesome place for drinks and for food loved it and they do to-go orders

Food was great and the drinks are sooo good. Gets packed super quick so get there early!

Food was mediocre and over priced. Fast service though.

Awesome staff. Local. Quick getting served. Food was indescribable! Go by and eat with them.

Great food and great service! I got the Cajun style jambalaya and a strawberry frozen drink. The portion size was a good size. I actually ended up saving half for a second meal! The drink was good. Kind of like an alcoholic strawberry slushie. Plus, it comes in a souvenir plastic cup so it was worth how much they charge. Our server was very friendly and sociable which made eating there even better. I would definitely go again!

The food is excellent and so is the service. Make sure you check it out when in Panama City Beach, Florida.

Novelty joint. Anywhere else food would be OK. Its Panama City Beach though so you have to go so you can pay too much for OK food and get a neat cup to take home.

Always great! Best gator bites we have had.
Great service always enjoy

Amazing food and awesome staff would recommend 100%

Our waitress was really good but the food was mediocre for the price. Ordered catch of the day ... grilled fish, was dry. My husband ordered the Cuban which had a fat slab of prosciutto making the sandwich a bit gross. Drinks were good. Won t be returning and do not particularly recommend.

I eat there as often as I can. The staff always are friendly, even the parking lot attendants look happy. The atmosphere is amazing whether you sit inside or out and if you have a gluten allergy or are following Keto there is a special menu. Pineapples Willy s is my families favorite place to be.

Very good food it was quick very good customer service

Great place to stop. Friendly service from Ashley. Awesome food and drinks.

Beautiful location overlooking the crystal clear water and white sands of the beach. Gator bites were good. No beer on draft !

The food was good. They have a good selection of beer and drinks. The service was good. I just think it's a bit pricey for the quality of food.

For being a place on the beach, it's surprising that this is a place known for Tennessee ribs and T-shirts. I'm from Tennessee and I'll have to say that the ribs are pretty much on par with many of the mediocre rib shacks in TN. The only fish on the menu was Mahi Mahi, which was good blackened but lacking flavor on its own.
If you like drinks and the beach, or if you want to go to a place to see and be seen, then check it out. If you're looking for exceptional seafood by the ocean, this isn't the place.

Tourist Trap

Picnic table type eating. Our food took 4 minutes from the time we ordered. But there was 1.5 hour wait. It is only getting a 2 star because our server tried hard. The Mahi Mahi sandwich was a perfect frozen rectangle and flavorless. Just not worthy. Our wine was served in plastic cups but we were offered to keep them. Wow.

Everything was amazing. Especially the alligator. Our server definitely went above and beyond when my 5 year old had a meltdown.

Great food, drinks and staff always. Beach was beautiful.

The hostess was very pushy and so worried about all of our party being there before we could sit down. Traffic was bad they re on their way just let us sit down.

Excellent place to visit. Great food and great and friendly staff

Great food, service and view. Prices feel about right. This is always our last stop in PCB. A great send off before we head home. Only improvement might be to allow substitutions in the sides. Not really a fry guy. But only a minor issue. Quality and portion size are better then others in the area. Give it a try.

The baby back ribs are to die for. Great place for adults and families!

10/26/2020- Our family stayed in PCB for 10 days and made 2 trips to eat at Pineapple Willy's! The food was amazing again and we enjoyed being able to sit outside with a cool breeze on pier! And yes, the ribs are still to die for!!!

Ribs are tasty and come in a sand castle bucket. Great outdoor seating on the beach.

There Food is not no "big wow" factor.the only thing I would recommend pineapple Willy's for is their drinks. They have really good alcoholic drinks if your looking for a good one when you come to Panama City. People say they have good tuna dip and stuff, but I've had better at different restaurants. It basically is just like a higher up captain d's. They do have a friendly staff though if you want to eat at a restaurant on the beach.

The food was good and they had cute merchandise. The wait was over an hour tho, so not the place to go if you're not looking to spend a good amount of time.

Great food, excellent view and stupendous staff - especially Cegea (ask for her section).

Great atmosphere and awesome waitress! Food was really good!

Great food. Frozen drink was good but very strong could really taste the liquor.

Even though we dined in restaurant, we were served everything with plastic and Styrofoam. It was very wasteful, especially because you can see the ocean outside, where most of that plastic will end up. I won't support this business again, unless these things change

Everyone liked the food and the service was very good
Loved eating by the water

Great service, family friendly atmosphere, fine food, reasonable prices.
I go every chance I get!

Not the same Pineapple Willies from the days old. Everything was waaaaaay overpriced. Food mediocre to blah.

I am so gracious for Sarah great customer service. She was patient kind and sweet. The food was amazing and the drinks was on point. Thank you Pineapple Willy's for a great first time experience

Delicious food with a breathtaking view of the water. Be prepared to wait an hour or more due to its popularity. They offer a gift shop, photo booth and a bar to pass time while you wait. I highly recommend trying the Pineapple Willy drink that comes with a souvenir Fat Tuesday cup! This is the 3rd time I ve been here and will continue to come back each time we are in town.

Resident in the area. Hadn't been here in quite awhile. Now I remember why!! Wish the owner would have joined me. I find this place to be a tourist trap. I can recommend much better local places....just ask me.

They have an entire area with a big sign and everything that claims to be a "bar". Pineapple Willy's doesn't have one single Eff'n beer on tap...

The Service Awesome! The Drinks Awesome! The Starters Awesome! The Seafood Awesome!!!!!

Overrated
Overpriced
Overcrowded
Overcooked!
Catch of the day redfish overcooked and dry. Famous ribs overcooked. Wife's fried shrimp was good. That's all.

Our first visit, we sit on the covered pier. Fast friendly service, our food was served very soon after getting our drinks. The food was Exceptional good. Enjoyed watching the waves as we ate. Huge portions, we all got, to go boxes, to take left overs with us. I highly recommend!

Great food, you can grab food on the go but got to pay takeout fee

Great grilled shrimp and grits. Great fried shrimp basket.

Not great, a little bit overpriced. Don't expect to have a whole lot of cash left over if you get alcohol too.

The frozen drinks did not have good ratios between juice and alcohol and the service was relatively inattentive and neglectful. The entrees were absolutely fantastic, however, but I don't know that they were good enough to justify everything else.

Great food and wonderful service! Great view of the ocean from their outside deck and cool T-shirts in their shop!

Awesome food and service was excellent. Great atmosphere, beautiful scenery. Will definitely be back

I love Pineapple Willy's! They have great food and great atmosphere. And the daiquiris and the Pineapple Willy drink are all amazing! Loved it!

We typically visit PW each trip. This trip was by far the Best I can remember... Virtually no wait... Everything was clean and the staff was amazing!!

Local landmark for sure, have visited many times before. I have left a more positive review several years ago. The food quality and service have gone downhill.

Food is decent, but if you can deal with not being oceanfront Wicked Wheels food is a lot better for the money. Pretty sure both restaurants are owned by the same person.

We spent over 130 dollars on food that was cold. Our Waiter was super slow. The only thing that was good was the Gator bites and the drinks.

Overall it's a good place. I wanted to give it 3.5 stars. A bit pricey but that is what I expected from a beach front restaurant. We were told it would be about a 90 minute wait. It couldn't have been more than 30 minutes. We were two couples. While waiting we went to the bar . It was about $75.00 for a round of drinks and 2 appetizers while waiting for our table. Then $140.00 for 4 entrees and only 2 more beers. I wanted seafood and the catch of the day was grouper. Perfect. My wife and brother in law had the prime rib and my sister in law had shrimp. The grouper gets 2 stars at best and the steaks about 4.5. Go figure at a beach front restaurant. If they read this, please use real butter. (See picture not butter)

The food wasn't bad, but nothing to write home about. Service was average we sat inside.. I am a local and have sat outside and really enjoyed our lunch and drinks, won't go back for dinner.

Overall a good place and will go back. We went to the bar from the beach to get drinks to take back out to the beach. I'm giving only 3 stars because of the rude bartender. It was a really busy time with people out the door. Another staff member told us to go inside and wrap around the bar to wait on line which we did with no problem. Other people came in behind us and formed a line but not behind us where we were told to go. I was supposed to be next to order but someone else went in front of me. When I said I was next and explained we were told to wrap around the bar, the bartender angrily told me "THEN GO DOWN THERE" to another bartender. Let's just say I used some very colorful language and hand gestures towards him.
