    The food was delicious, loved my shrimp and grits, had my shrimp blackened. The others in my group had mahi-mahi fish platters. The service was exceptional our waitress Danielle was friendly, professional and made our visit wonderful. Had some good laughs. The atmosphere is great, there are TV's had sports and also kids programming playing, we sat inside though not close to the window we could still see the water, next time we will sit on the pier and dine. I will be back when in Panama City again. A must visit.

    Food was delicious got the fried grouper basket with an extra side of pineapple coleslaw . I'm glad we have this place a try and the service was excellent

    Fried Basket (3/5)
    Ian N.

    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)

    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.

    I have been coming to Pineapple Willys for 15 years and it has never disappointed!! The food was amazing, the grilled chicken was juicy and the pineapple was perfect with it! The view is so beautiful and its always a good day when we get to go to Pineapple Willy's!!! I highly highly recommend!!

    Excellent food and service. So many yummy options we went back multiple times during our stay.

    Shrimp and grits
    Tom K.

    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.

    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.

    Refill cups
    Erica R.

    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!

    The ribs are so good. I found they were worth the price and there was a lot of ribs in the bucket. Loved it.

    The Alibi is our go to when in PCB! There isn't a Wednesday that we aren't there listening to…read moreCharlie Seagar and having their fantastic dry rubbed wings with dude sauce! They also have great servers! Laura and Regan always take the best care of us! Do yourself a favor and go! You won't be dis

    This was the worst dining experience I've had in a while. I really wanted to like The Alibi, but it…read morewas just so bad, all the way around. In short: poor service, bad/cold food. Now allow me to elaborate. Our server could not have been less helpful with the menu. I asked about one of the wing sauces, and he said, "It's great. You'll love it." I appreciate the confidence, but I was hoping for a more insightful description. I asked a follow up, thinking maybe he just needed some direction. "Is it sweet? Spicy?" Again, he just said, "You'll love it." Maybe he'd never had it? Maybe it was his first shift? Not sure, but it was the weirdest exchange. Anyway, my boyfriend ordered wings. I ordered the mahi tacos. As soon as my tacos hit the table, I knew it was... not great. They were the most pathetic-looking tacos. Plenty of tortilla, not much else. I would've been embarrassed to let them leave my kitchen. At least bulk them up a little bit with an average serving of the tropical slaw? Btw, no idea what made it tropical. Just tasted like slaw. It only got worse when I took my first bite. Completely cold. The wings? Also cold. The tacos came with a side of chips and salsa too. The salsa tasted like it was straight out of a cheap can. It was gross. Our server never came to check on us, so we just ate our cold food, eventually flagged him for the check, paid and left. Additional context that feels relevant: there were only 2 other tables taken when we arrived, and I believe there were 3 people seated at the bar. It wasn't busy at all, so this was not an instance of falling short while trying to meet the demand of a lunch or dinner rush. That would've been more understandable. How do you serve cold food then go MIA as a server when there's barely anyone there? How do you manage tables when you're actually busy? There are so many amazing places to eat on the beach, including spots with great tacos and wings. Spend your money elsewhere. I truly could not recommend this place to anyone after my experience.
