The drinks are awesome and we love them. Buying food from them though, a totally different story. They have several spots where you can sit down but refuse to serve food at. I recommend coming here for the fun and make plans to eat somewhere else read more

Such a fun atmosphere, the food was great, and loved sitting outside and watching the sunset over the water while we ate.

Amazing food and wonderful service! I ordered the Big Willy's Club, and it was absolutely delicious. The French fries were cooked perfectly, too! My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Alfredo and said it was the best he's had in a long time. The chicken tenders that came with it were also cooked perfectly. I've also had their gator bites before, and they are delicious as well! Our server, Malachi, was amazing--very quick, incredibly sweet, and made us feel so welcome. The restaurant wasn't packed when we visited, which made for a really nice, relaxed meal. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back! Highly recommend to come!! read more

Food - we ordered the seafood platter & the mahi mahi with pineapple salsa. The seafood platter all tasted the same, generic fried seafood taste. The mahi mahi was dry. All the sides: corn, mashed potatoes, and fries were good. But you're not going to a restaurant just for the sides. Drinks - we just got water this trip. However, we have gotten the frozen drinks and they are fun. Very beachy & convenient for refillable cups. Service - wait was over an hour, but once we got seated the food came really quick. Tracking our place on yelp was nice to ease wait time. Server was friendly, straight to the point! Ambiance - sitting on a balcony with a beach view can't be beat. That's not exclusive to pineapple Willy's. read more

We had dinner here with the whole family yesterday, and our experience was a bit mixed. Our server was absolutely amazing! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and kind, and provided excellent service. He really made our evening enjoyable. My husband loved the ribs -- the meat was incredibly tender and practically melted in his mouth. The kids were also happy with their baskets of chicken tenders and shrimp. Unfortunately, my dish was a big disappointment. I ordered the mahi-mahi with mashed potatoes and salsa, but the fish was extremely dry and almost impossible to eat. It was so dry that it was difficult to swallow and felt like it was getting stuck in my throat. Overall, our family enjoyed the evening, especially the service, ribs, and kids' meals. Unfortunately, the mahi-mahi did not meet my expectations. Maybe I just got unlucky that evening, but I definitely wouldn't order that dish again. read more

Fried basket (3/5): Not a fan of the fried oyster and how wet they were. The fried fish was decent but nothing special. The fried clams were bad. There was hardly any clam meat. The shrimp was ok but could've been crispier. The hush puppies had a weird flavor that I couldn't identify. The corn was just boiled and flavorless. The fries were fine. RATING SYSTEM 5 - Great (Need to get this again) 4 - Good (Would get this again) 3 - Ok (Might give this another shot) 2 - Not Good (Won't get this again) 1 - Bad (Telling people to avoid this) read more

We didn't get a chance to eat at Pineapple Willy's, but we stopped by for adult drinks to go and absolutely loved the convenience! Being right on the beach makes it the perfect stop during a beach day. We got the Blue Raspberry Lemonade Slush and the Strawberry Frozen Margarita, and both were so good and refreshing. There's just something about grabbing a frozen drink and heading right back out to enjoy the beach! Such a fun spot and definitely something we'll do again next time we're in the area. read more

Pineapple Willy's is not just hype, it is LEGIT! Great food and portions for the prices. Service was excellent and fast. Indoor and Outdoor dining options are a plus! Expect a 30-60 minute wait but TOTALLY worth it. Shop at the store or grab a tasty beverage in the meantime. read more

Waited until MONDAY to go because it is SO BUSY... Must be the view because the food was WAY BELOW expectations. The mahi mahi was SO DRY it was hard to swallow. Looks like it was cooked days before and REHEATED because our meal came too fast for them to have cooked it from fresh. The corn on the cob was from frozen and was tough and sour. The BEST part of the meal was the mashed potatoes. The service was GREAT! read more

Went to Pineapple Willy's for dinner. My wife had the shrimp and grits. The Gouda cheese in the grits was delicious. The grilled shrimp was well seasoned. I had the caesar Salad with grilled shrimp . The salad was very fresh and had great flavor. I had a coconut key lime beer that was smooth and crisp with great key lime flavor. Our server Andrew was great . The restaurant sits right on the beach and is quite beautiful. This is a great place with lots of craft beers. read more

No complaints from us! My dad recommended PWs so we stopped in for lunch. The space is massive and it was super windy outside so we went for the inside seating where we still got to enjoy the views but in peace. Our waitress was fabulous! We tried some of their signature drinks in their refillable cups that we got to take home which will remind us always of the great time we had. We even got to use them again at Wicked Wheel for an economical refill - what a treat!! For our meals: my fiance got the bucket of ribs. He was very pleased with his choice. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with fries and it was a fantastic choice! The best part was the speedy service. We hardly waited a second for our food. We were so impressed. They also offer a generous military discount which is excellent. We were very pleased with the experience. Many thanks to my dad for the recommendation! read more

We usually love Pineapple Willy's. We come at least once every trip, but this time may have our last. First:The Good The view was pretty and the service was good. My Pineapple Willy was delicious. Now: the bad! We always eat the garden salad topped with Mahi Mahi. This was the worst Mahi Mahi I've ever had. It tasted like it was canned. It was tough and tasted old and fishy. It was bad enough that we will probably not be back for a long while. read more

The food was pretty good. The service was great. But the view was amazing. We had a great time. I didn't get many pictures. I did take two. My sandwich was really good. I had the Mahi Mahi BLT. I only wish that the tarter sauce was made in house and not in a container. My wife had the Island Nachos said she loved. My kids ate off the kids menu, so no reviews there. Overall a great experience. read more

Updated review! Still delicious!! We made a return visit to Pineapple Willie's with last year's signature glass in tow. PW's was having 25% off entire menu plus 5-6pm Power Hour with 50% off all food & drinks!! It was amazing! Such a great value for customers. There was a crowd to be sure but the staff at PW's was so prepared. They were efficient in getting everyone seated and getting drinks out to tables. The food soon rolled out and the quality was top notch! I had grouper with pineapple salsa which was perfectly cooked. What a deal! Hats off to front & back of house staff. Great job and thanks for giving your customers great deals!!! read more

1st time here and we enjoyed our time. We got there at 8:45pm on a Wednesday and had a wait time of 45 minutes. The place was packed. It was okay due to it being located on the beach. Our waitress, Nicole was Great! The food was hot and fresh. Good price and We weren't rushed due to it being closing time. Great outdoor seating! Nice beachy vibe. Crowded but not all up on others. Only complaint is that the parking lot lights were almost completely turned off. That should never be until after all of your patrons are gone. read more

It seem like this place appeals to the tourist crowd but I like it! There are three separate places built into one located on the beach. A souvenir shop, bar and restaurant all tied in together! We came here as a group of 8 and got seated within 20 minutes even though the line was long. Before I set down, I had to get a large drink in a souvenir cup. It was good! Our food was good and nobody had any complaints. I especially enjoyed my blackened shrimp. The waiter did a fantastic job of managing our table considering his work load. Overall this place was great and I recommend trying it out if you're in town. read more

We stayed right next to here. Make sure you go early cause the wait can be long, but they have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside with a nice view of the beach. My whole family got shrimp baskets and they were really good. The pineapple slaw had one pineapple and was nothing spectacular. The service was excellent. She kept our drinks full the entire time and she was constantly running around to all her tables to make sure everything was in tip top shape. read more

Food was good, service was great! Long wait times, so be ready to hang out outside for a while or shop in the gift shop. Very pretty view of the beach! read more

We decided to stop for a quick snack and drinks. We were seated right away and our server Gabby was the bomb. Great to answer questions and make suggestions. We decided on the Island nachos and an orange lush drink in a to-go cup. The nachos were really unique and delicious with pineapple salsa, queso and pulled pork. The seating on the pier with the gorgeous beach and Gulf views truly made for the perfect atmosphere. This is a place that everyone has to go at least once. read more

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere! The drinks were fantastic! The pina colada was great. Not too sweet and not too alcoholic.

One of the male bartenders was extremely rude to my mother. She was trying to get me food bc I was sick. He called her aggressive and refused to give her a to go box because "they don't do to-go orders after 4." She ordered 2 entrees, ate a little, and asked for a box. The third person she asked finally brought it. And now upon further inspection there is a pube like hair in my mash potatoes bc my mother was trying to care for me with urgency. read more

My friend and I are here on a girls trip. Pineapple Willy's just happens to be within walking distance of where we are staying. We've been here 3days and we've eaten there everyday. We keep going back because the food is delicious but the service is outstanding. Each person that served us did it in excellence. But our server J.T. proved to be very attentive and went the extra mile. Thank you Pineapple Willy! We will be back! read more

If you're on the hunt for a beachfront spot with fresh seafood keep looking, you got this bro! Honestly the best part of our visit was the service our waiter was fantastic! If the food had been as good as him, this place would definitely be a must-try. But, unfortunately, it felt more like a tourist trap. The food tasted like it came straight out of the freezer and was just reheated. Even the condiments were prepackaged in plastic packets straight from the manufacturer! So if you find yourself here with the family, congratulations, you've been punk'd! But hey if you're 21 and on spring break looking to mingle maybe you'll enjoy the crowd. Just know what you're getting into and it ain't a solid meal. read more

Great place! I think we waited maybe 30 minutes for a table but we got drinks and pretzel bites and listened to live music while we waited. We sat outside which had great views of the ocean. We had the mahi basket and the Caribbean salad and both were really good. The mahi bites just melted in your mouth. The service was good. We got to keep our cups as a souvenir. When we are back in town we will definitely be back here! read more

A must visit for the crowd, the ambiance overlooking the sea, the excellent service and very good food & beverage despite the 45 minute wait. They operate at top efficiency. Grouper is excellent- especially with the Crawfish Julie sauce. Shrimp pasta was good as well. Drinks are classy tropical. Also a decent beer list. Our server, Jordan, was knowledgeable as well as efficient. read more

Pineapple Willy's is good for their merch but that's all! I mean, the Golden Corral over here was 100% better, just disappointing for how much money was spent! 1. The food was clearly microwaved, cold, dry, overall almost inedible. Came with plastic silverware and not greatly presented. 2. The workers look like they don't want to be here! Servers were bland, workers sitting around. The only good person here was Skylar! 3. The wait to get in this place was not worth it in the end. Over an hour wait to be sat down to eat and it was not good at all. I and my family strongly do not recommend this place unless you want the merch ?! read more
