    Pineapple Willy's bucket
    Meredith H.

    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.

    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)

    Blue raspberry lemonade and strawberry!

    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.

    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!!

    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.

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

    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!

    Awful Mahi
    Gail L.

    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.

    My beer and the cup my kids get with their drink.
    Mike J.

    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.

    We took a 20 minute drive to get here and originally I thought I would regret it. Honestly... I…read morewouldn't have minded a 40 minute drive. The waitress was the perfect mix of bubbly and professional and offered to help with things before we could think to ask. The food was great in presentation and better in taste. Everything was cooked well and had great texture. The menu items complement each other very well. If I had to recommend one thing it would be the mahi mahi tacos. I've eaten my fair share of tacos in the past but when you dip them in the tartar sauce and take a bite it feels like everything around you gets drowned out and overridden my the taste and feel. The vibe of the restaurant was pretty pleasant and also made for a pretty pleasant experience. The one thing I will say is that the wait was a little long but we were there pretty late and ordered a lot of food so that is to be expected. 5 stars.

    What a great meal we had at C level. It came recommended to us from people we met at another spot,…read moreand they said it was the best meal they've had in the area. 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.

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.
