Pineapple Willy's - First time eating Maui but he loved it. Wait time was about 2 hours though but it was a one time experience. - Seafood Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Pineapple Willy's is the epitome of a boardwalk tourist trap. Great view right on the beach, cute logo, and good service, but the food is not great. With the prices what they were, I was disappointed that most of the food either tasted frozen or was packaged. The grilled mahi on the sandwich was a decently-cooked piece of fish, but the fries were frozen and so was the fried shrimp. The salad dressings and sauces were all pre-packaged containers, so that's disappointing for a popular beach joint. I had a stomach ache after, so that's a bad connection in my mind. Overall, our great waitress couldn't save the average to below-average food. Willy stay or Willy go somewhere else next time? read more

Pineapple Willy's - Grilled Mahi sandwich with frozen fries - Seafood Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Great food and atmosphere! Service was good! We ate her twice on our trip. Once inside and once outside!

Excellent service once we got seated. Waited around 20 minutes even with a reservation, but it looked like many people didn't make reservations waited about longer. If you do go as it's a pretty famous tourist spot, make a reservation. The positives? Grilled grouper was fresh and tasty, good service. The reasons I cannot recommend? First, when I spend 38$ on an entree I expect real silverware, not plastic utensils. Plus, styrofoam cups for water or soda?? Also , the portion size was small for the price. Last, the POLICE PRESENCE!!! I've never been to a restaurant where police needed to be stationed in the outdoor bar area and outside on the street. Made me wonder why so many police are needed for what appears to be a tourist staple for the area. read more

Went as soon as they open for lunch and had NO WAIT! If you want to eat here (WHICH YOU DO) go for lunch AS SOON AS THEY OPEN! We got to sit at a window table as requested & was in and out in 45 minutes! Food was hot, fresh and server was GREAT! read more

Expensive but very good. I had the tropical nachos and they were filling. The service staff was good but gets pretty busy. So had to get their attention. read more

We waited about 20 mins, but we also got there before dinner rush. The food was okay nothing great, the server had a great attitude but was alittle weird about showing the receipt which was on a small tablet and hurried through its co tent in which we later found was inaccurate when we looked through the receipt which was texted to us, not worth the money, sorry. Atmosphere was good read more

The ambiance is always so nice here The service was absolutely fantastic even though they're always so busy and we got there 45 minutes before closing and had to wait 10 minutes table so nice so helpful my oldest son got sick and threw up everywhere in the bathroom the helped clean him up kept coming by to check on and everything our waiter was fantastic we were there on April 7 which was my birthday the were delicious even though we had to get it to go after got sick every time we go to Panama City make sure to go here at least on how long the trip is read more

Can't really call this a real review because I only went to get a daiquiri. Service was pretty fast for how busy and packed it was in there. They had a good amount of flavors to choose from and the alcohol ratio was worth the price. Like I said, was in and out of there in maybe 5 minutes. Only suggestion would be to maybe have mango or peach flavors! read more

higher new staff or train your staff to have a better attitude when seating people. my chips were stale. My queso was cold. Maybe put some more effort whenever you're having Taurus. Come to your place. It'd be appreciated if you were to reprimand the hostesses of that time we arrived around 7:30 the hostess is completely ignored us at first when we walked up. It wasn't busy at all near the host stand and they were more busy talking to each other than actually trying to get someone seated. went here on jun 16th 2026 read more

3 years in a row 5 stars! We love Pineapple Willy's. We ordered drinks all week from the walk up bar and when we sat down for dinner we had a blast. Beautiful views from the pier, delicious food, and fantastic service! We ordered all our favorites: Gator bites, grilled Mahi Mahi, Mahi Mahi sandwich, shrimp basket, crawfish, mashed potatoes and drinks. We enjoyed the atmosphere on a great night! I can't recommend PW's enough if you're in PCB... it's a must visit! read more

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife and kids for dinner. When we couldn't find a place to eat, I noticed a Pineapple Willy's billboard. Since we had driven by it the day before and had already researched that it was kid friendly, we headed on over. Parking was a pain for us. The main gates were open but the lot was full. I then tried some of their overflow lots, but those were closed as well. Eventually, after dropping off my wife and kids, I asked the parking attendant, and he directed me to one that was open. Pineapple Willy's is quite massive, with a huge bar area and then seating for dining on what felt like a pier above the beach. Beyond that, the outdoor seating area had rows of picnic tables, wooden floors, overhead fans, string lights, and beach views, creating a fun and casual vibe. For dinner, I went with the Cajun Style Jambalaya, while my wife chose the Caribbean Salad and added blackened mahi. Both of my kids went with PB&J sandwiches. The server also upsold me on adding Crawfish Julie for $5, noting that the jambalaya could be dry without it. My entrée was described as a traditional Cajun rice dish loaded with chicken, spicy sausage, and topped with five grilled shrimp and garlic toast. My wife's salad was described as crisp romaine lettuce topped with pineapple chunks, macadamia nuts, and red onions. From the time we ordered to when our food arrived was about seven minutes. It was incredibly fast and probably the quickest service I've ever had at a sit-down restaurant. My jambalaya tasted pretty good, with nice spices and plenty of chicken and sausage mixed into the rice. I also enjoyed the Crawfish Julie as recommended by our server. Not only did it taste good, but it added extra sauce and richness to the dish. My wife enjoyed her Caribbean Salad, especially the macadamia nuts, which added a nice crunch and contrast. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Both my wife and I enjoyed not only our drinks but our food as well. read more

overrated, the food is discustingly greasy, and the wait time is always at least an hour. The only reason im saying even a 2 star is because of decent service. read more

Great stop all around! The food, ambiance, service, price, and drinks were all amazing. Our server Phillip was super nice and helpful. The fried gater and fried cheese were both very good. The rib buckets were also so good. The ribs were not too sweet and the beens and coleslaw were great with it. They have great drink deals and refill options. This was one of the best stops we made. The gift shop is very nice as well and the view of the beach is wonderful. read more

We typically steer clear of tourist-heavy spots, but our daughter highly recommended Pineapple Willy's, so we decided to give it a try. We're so glad we did! One of the highlights was their pet-friendly outdoor seating, which allowed us to bring our well-behaved fur baby along. Even though the restaurant was very busy--with over 50 groups ahead of us--we were seated in just about 45 minutes. The service was fast and genuinely friendly, striking the perfect balance of attentive without feeling rushed. The timing between our appetizers and entrées was excellent. We started with the pretzel bites and beer cheese, which were delicious. For our main courses, we enjoyed a variety of seafood options. While we've had slightly better seafood elsewhere in the area, everything was fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. Best of all, the quality and experience were well worth the very reasonable prices. We'll definitely be returning on our next trip to PCB! read more

Always a great experience at Pineapple Willy's! Food, service, and especially ambiance!

Amazing service and food. Friendly service. Great location with view of beach while eating. Loved it!

Love this place! The atmosphere is great! Jen was very attentive to us. The food is good quality. The only issue is the host area. The girls don't look like they want to be there or even have a clue what's going on. I waited in line, A window became clear so I stepped forward. She said she couldn't help me. Why is the window open....? The red head is always there. Year after year with a very unwelcoming glare. I got my text for the table, went to the stand and the girl were confused again. I asked if I was standing in the right place and most ignored me. All 8-9 of them.... Luckily the manager stepped in to help. Great restaurant but needs a lil work in the front read more

We love this place. Come every time we are here! We definitely recommend it! The waits a little long but it is worth it

We were pleasantly surprised with pineapple Willy's. We had read some mixed reviews but nothing but a great experience. A wait is to be expected but there's a bar to one side that you can grab a drink at while you wait and the gift shop is a good time waster too. We got lucky and got seated all the way at the end outside by the ocean. Even if the food hadn't been great that view was worth it but honestly the popcorn shrimp was some of the best I've ever tried. It was so fresh. I tried the big Willy club with the pineapple coleslaw. I was impressed with the flavor of the coleslaw! Sounded like a weird combo but it works! You have to have a frozen drink of course and I went with the traditional Pineapple Willy. Super sweet of course but good. Go for the atmosphere if nothing else. It's a fun place! read more

Phillip our server was absolutely amazing he went above and beyond for us, didn't even have to ask for refills he was already bringing them to us when he noticed our drinks were low, very happy at his job, and even suggested some of the new restaurants around for us to check out our family absolutely loved our service all the way around. Okay read more

Multiple time patron. Great every time. Great food, great atmosphere, great service. Love the merchandise also.

Vibes were good food was decent. Turn and burn service which was nice cause we wanted a quick dinner.

Table position, food quality, you need more of a variety of food. Best part the visit was getting a cup and T shirt.

Get here early if you are hungry &/or want to wait up to 2 hrs. This restaurant has the blinkie call disk when your table is ready, so sit by the beach, go to the bar in the building next door (apps & drinks only with a live singer). Lots of general seating with tables too. A free-for-all! But they have servers to get you apps & drinks all night! Inside the main restaurant looks sort of like a cafeteria- nothing special & not the "beach vibe" expected when you see the outside, but still very nice & clean. A good menu, food is fresh & the service is really great!! I wasn't feeling so hot, so I got the chef salad & it was worth $9.00! My entire table loved their meal choices!!! Wings were fantastic!! Casual, but I saw my share of cute outfits that were a little more business casual. We walked from the condo, Ocean Ritz. Can walk on the street or beach. Easy Peasy I'll definitely go again!!! read more

I came here on vacation with my family, and we had a great time! The views are absolutely beautiful, and the wait to be seated was shorter than expected, which was a nice surprise. I'm a sucker for a sweet drink, and the frozen daiquiris definitely hit the spot; affordable, refreshing, and super tasty! As for the food, it wasn't my favorite, but it definitely wasn't bad either, just okay. Still, it's a convenient spot to grab a bite if you're in the area. If you're visiting as a tourist, I'd absolutely recommend stopping by for the drinks and the atmosphere alone! read more

The wait is absolutely ridiculous. We got there at 8:20 and put ourselves on the waitlist on a Monday Night and we were told it was a hour and a half wait and they close at 10 pm we were 87th in line for a table. We ended up leaving why take tables if your going to close at 10 pm read more

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.

Always amazing! We come every year and are never disappointed! Grab a drink and enjoy your wait!

The Food was great and adult drink was even better! Service was good and wait wasn't to bad

The food was great and our waitress was wonderful. The alligator bites were delicious. We had a great view of the ocean.
