    Pineapple Willy's is the goat. The single most iconic stop in Panama City Beach. For one, great atmosphere and views. You can sit right on the pier and look out at the water. Next, great food and drinks. Brought out to you quickly by friendly wait staff. Lastly, the star of the show. Pineapple Willy himself. The man, the myth, the legend. This man/pineapple cannot be bothered. Pickup a shirt at the gift shop while you're here.

    We LOVE Pineapple Willy's!!!! From the moment we walked up, we just knew we were going to have a good time! We ordered cocktails and seafood, and everything was absolutely yummy! And of course, we couldn't leave without grabbing a few souvenir T-shirts to remember the trip. The service was amazing, the prices were just right, and the atmosphere was everything you want from a Panama City Beach spot! And let me tell you... that gator po'boy did NOT disappoint! Definitely one of the highlights of our meal. If you're visiting Panama City Beach and looking for good food, good drinks, great service, and a fun atmosphere, I would definitely recommend Pineapple Willy's. We had a blast and would absolutely go back!

    Fish tacos  Grilled chicken and pineapple salsa!!!  Sooo goood

    We sit outside I got the frozen pina colada and Michael got the pineapple Willy drink in the 24oz insulated cup. We ordered the gator bites and popcorn shrimp and fries. All the food and service was excellent

    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.

    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)

    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.

    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

    Peel N Eat Shrimp
    Elizabeth B.

    I have been coming here since the 2010s and I'll always be back every summer that I'm out here, it's nostalgic to come here for me but there are also some very delicious dishes to eat. I always get the "Peel N Eat Shrimp" every time I am here, although I've had some of the other dishes that are delightful. Mahi Mahi BLT is a must try if you dine here and any of the frozen drinks are Devine too. I also have to include that sitting on the pier is quite enjoyable after a long day of beaching or shopping.

    Grilled Shrimp & Grits
    Christina E.

    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.

    shrimp and grits
    Tori B.

    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!!

    This is an easy and convenient location, but it's a tourist trap with primarily fried food. The service at the bar was quick and easy.

Rhiannon (I hope I spelled it right) had a huge personality, was genuinely friendly, and made us feel welcome the entire time. Great service like that is hard to find.

When you walk in you feel like you're in the French Quarter. Subdued lighting just takes me to NOLA Everything we had was excellent and sorry I forgot pictures. We had the flight of deviled eggs and the boom boom shrimp for an appetizers. The deviled eggs were an excellent choice and for the boom boom shrimp they were cooked perfectly. Not at all rubbery. For entrees my wife had the Shrimp Ponchartrain and it was excellent. It is very rich in a heavy cream sauce. The shrimp were large and the andouille sausage gave it a nice smoky taste. I had the crawfish étouffée and it was very good. I'm used to it being made with a darker roux making it smokier but it was still very good. Our waitress was extremely attentive even as the place gets busy. If you're in PCB forget Dat other place and come here.

The first thing I noticed is that they scaled the menu back which was a blessing. I remember before that you had to read a book to get through the menu before. The new menu has a great variety of items and I didn't miss anything that they might have had before. The restaurant itself is fun. Lots of memorabilia on the walls but not in a claustrophobic way. Tables are nice and clean and the bar is beautiful. Everyone looked like they were having a good time. Our food server was nice, friendly and talked to us like we were regulars (loved that). We started out with drinks and we had the Sangria, and a couple of their signature cocktails that I can't remember the names. All were very refreshing. Food: We started out with quite a few appetizers: Coconut Shrimp: Great big shrimps, coating was perfect but I would use a tad more coconut (IMO). Tuna Dip: Wonderful smokey flavor and tasted really fresh and came with homemade chips. Pimento Dip: Oh my gosh it was delicious. I didn't even want to try this one but one of the people in our party likes pimento, so we did. It was sooooo good. I found out it has 4 different cheeses in it and it also comes with the homemade chips. Onion Rings: These onion rings were in the perfect batter. They were not greasy but they were crunchy and they used great tasting onions. I remember the previous onion rings being so thick and greasy I was so happy with the new version. We also had the Spinach Artichoke Dip and once again it was very tasty. Entrees: Pot Roast: So delicious!!! Tender pot roast and it came on a bed of mashed potatoes and cooked carrots and onions and I think celery. The gravy was delicious and they gave you plenty of it. Steak: It was a pretty big steak and very tender. Hubs gave it a 4 out of a 5. Baked potato was loaded and could have fed a family of 4. Catfish Basket: I had never had catfish before and I nibbled on our friend's entree and it was really really good. I give this place a 5 out of a 5 and we WILL be back.

We were happy they took reservations, and were able to accommodate a party of ten at dinner time. We were sat on time, and quickly greeted by our waiter. We ordered food- apps came out quickly, there was a long delay between apps and salads, and then meals came very quickly after salads. That's my only complaint from the evening- spacing food out better (some people in our party hadn't finished their salad prior to meals arriving). We had pickle chips for our app. They were crispy, and had a nice dill taste. Could have used some more ranch as my only critique. The salad was with romaine lettuce which was different than most places, and the balsamic dressing was pretty run of the mill. For my main, I had the blackened prime rib. Definitely some of the best prime rib I've had, and had a nice flavor to it. The mashed potatoes were average- nothing to write home about. Overall, happy with the meal as a whole, appreciated the ability to make reservations, but could have worked on spacing out the meal a little better. Would highly recommend.
