It's a beautiful place, service is nice but very rushed once you're seating. Portion size and selection on the menus could be better and easier to read and find items. read more

Pineapple Willy's - Blackened Mahi Mahi with pineapple sauce. - Seafood Near Me - Panama City Beach, Florida

Food was great especially the ribs and the blackened mahi mahi.... The pineapple coleslaw is a must try as well!

Great Service, Great Atmosphere, Beautiful Panama City Sunsets of course good food, drinks and access to the beach.

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

Great service! We had a party of 17 and the meal and service went off without a hitch! The waitress was excellent! The food was good. It was very loud, but what do you expect with a restaurant on the beach that serves that many customers. Definitely recommend. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Waited for an hour to get our food. Server rushed us, food came out looking like slop, server didnt bring us more drinks. Quality and service was bad, also 3x overpriced than others. While on the beach a convenient, you're being ripped off. 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

Always a good time at Willys, food is great and staff is friendly, great seating options outside or inside dining

Great service, stunning views, and we love the food! We stop by there when in town. Their drinks are also excellent as well. I had a strawberry pina colada so yummy. Mixing half strawberry daiquiri half pina colada. As busy as they were, two people, first available, we got in right away. read more

The service was incredible. We had a group of 6 people and everything was great. Our server was very attentive and engaging.

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

amazing customer service & great food! visited this place on my bachelorette trip and they were so kind to my entire group and I

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

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

Always great food, fast service after you get seated. Great place to eat. I would recommend the ribs. My wife got the fish and she said it was good. 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

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

From the moment we arrived at Pineapple Willy's, the atmosphere was electric--full of fun energy and the best laid-back beach vibes. The staff was incredibly friendly, and our server, Katie, was especially attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. And the food? Absolutely incredible. We sat out on the pier, overlooking the water, and watched the sunset while we ate. It truly doesn't get much better than that. Pineapple Willy's completely nails the beach dining experience. Even if you just stop by for a drink, it's 100% worth it. read more

We were in town in vacation and everyone kept telling us we had to go to pineapple Willys. When we got there it was quite a wait for outside and no wait for inside so we were promptly seated inside. Our waiter was awesome and provided a few recommendations. The fried alligator was awesome ! Had a local beer that was good. Had the BLT which was just a basic BLT but still good. Outside they have a big gift shop with all things pineapple. Would Deff go back again. read more
