Pineapple Willy’s Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish! If you’re looking for that perfect combination of great food, amazing service, and a sunset that’ll stop you in your tracks—this is the place. Our server, Randi, was off-the-chain awesome. Attentive, upbeat, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great time. She guided us to an outstanding frozen adult beverage (exactly what we needed!) and helped us land on some fantastic menu choices. The highlight? The blackened grouper basket—fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Sitting right on the beach, watching the sun dip below the horizon while enjoying a great meal… it doesn’t get much better than that. If you’re anywhere near Panama City Beach and want a top-tier dining experience with a view, do yourself a favor and check this place out. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sat outside, but wished we would have moved inside. But there is nothing you can do about the weather! Good food, very good service!

PW is always a must when we come to PCB! The food and drinks are amazing! There's always a huge portion and the prices are reasonable. The kids love the pineapple willy cups and tattoos! They have one of the best gift shops around as well! Service is great and it's very clean!

I went here as a kid and recently was in PCB again and decided to have dinner there on a family vacation. It was crowded but we were able to get a table for a large party immediately. The service was fantastic, accurate and attentive. There are always servers and food runners and bussers walking around so things run very smoothly. The vibes are very beachy and cheesy in a fun campy way. It feels both touristy and iconic and like it's an institution in the area. They have their own parking lots and when it gets busy they have attendants. The drinks are good and the food was also very good. You have the option of getting drinks in souvenir cups and the kids souvenir cup is very cute. I got the exact same thing I had when I was a kid, a bucket of ribs. They were seasoned and cooked well. We got some pretzel and cheese curd apps for the table which everyone enjoyed. The gift shop has a lot of unique merch and tons of different t shirt styles. Well worth checking out if you have the time. I always got comments on my "stoner pineapple" shirt I had from childhood and they haven't changed the design at all on the past 30 years it seems. If you are in the area I think this is a must see place. At the very least to grab a drink and a shirt, but I'd recommend a nice sunset dinner on the pier with some good friends and family.

This place is awesome. From the food to the service. We had such a great time. Will for sure make it a tradition to go back each time we visit PCB.

Good food and atmosphere, and for what it is it's good. Might as well.

Overall, nice experience. Food was decent. Server was pleasant. I would not recommend the ribs—save that for an actual bbq place. The Cajun Alfredo was decent. Their menu leaves a lot to be desired. This place is REALLY for the drinks, views, & vibes. I’d come here again for a few drinks, but I’d dine somewhere else. Overall would recommend if you’re looking for tasty drinks. 🍹

UPDATE April 2026: Pineapple Willy's is a MUST for those returning or 1st timers... took my mom and our friends- all loved the food and atmosphere!!! Highly recommend. November 2025: Pineapple Willy's was one of our 1st & last stops in PCB. We haven't tried anything but the rib bucket because it's AMAZING!!! Get 2 things of baked beans & 2 corn on the cobs- perfect for sharing. Staff is ALWAYS friendly, food is hot, served quickly and the environment is great. This time we got to sit outside at the very far end of the Pier at sunset and it didn't disappoint. UPDATE April 2025: We ALWAYS make sure to go to Pineapple Willy's and this time we went twice!!! The rib bucket with beans (2) and corn on the cob (2) is the perfect proportion for 2. Had Blake the 2nd time and he was very friendly, prompt and took great care of us. THIS PLACE IS A MUST!!!! Third time in PCB and hadn't heard of or been when recommended by a local. Pineapple Willy's is a must!!! The atmosphere was great; we sat outside both times. A bit of a wait but certainly worth it. The staff is very friendly and prompt. We figured since there was a wait we would get an appetizer, but the food comes out really fast. Everything was hot and delicious. Also if you like daiquiri's the frozen in a souvenir cup is a must. You can even take it with you and bring it back for a discounted price in the future. Only restaurant actually with a pier like setting. Highly recommended!!!!
