Everything about Pineapple Willies was great! The staff is well trained and very friendly and efficient. From seating to knowledge about the menu, to making sure to check on anything you made need. The food comes out fast and is delicious and fresh. We ate here several times while on vacation and tried numerous dishes. Some of our favorites were the coconut shrimp, chef salad (that was large enough for a couple of meals) and the mahi sandwich. The french fries were fantastic and the Pineapple Willie drink was the BEST! There is plenty of seating inside and covered outside seating right on the beach with beautiful views! We will be back and probably several times! Let's start with the service. Powell was great . He explained the place and the menu. He was quick with a joke and made it fun. Next the drinks . They were good. We will go back for another round. The food was awesome. We had the blackened mahi mahi and the seafood dinner. Food comes out fast and hot. The seafood dinner was huge in size and everything was tasty. Great barefoot beach resort vacation vibe. Pineapple Willy's in Panama City makes great daiquiris, and delicious seafood. I very much enjoyed the mahi mahi BLT. With indoor and outdoor seating right on the sand, there is plenty of room for any size group. There's even a covered pier with seating over the beach. The staff are professional, fast and friendly. The ocean front view is amazing. If you love relaxing on the beach, you and your friends will have a lot fun at Pineapple Willy's.

I went for the first time with my family of 6. We waited around 40 minutes when we got there around 5:40pm. We were seated on the pier and the view was beautiful. We ordered the nachos and my family liked them, they could’ve been more salted. We ordered our food and it came out within 10 minutes. The food quality was poor, it didn’t seem like a restaurant, more like fast food. I got the jambalaya and the chicken and sausage pieces were maybe 30% of the dish, and the rest was rice. I didn’t even try the garlic toast, but my brother tried it and it was bad. My dad got the ribs and they were pretty good. The alligator bites tasted like chicken. My brother got the mahi mahi basket and he said it was good. We went here because it has 15k reviews with an average of 4.5 rating but after coming here, I’m really confused as to why the rating is so high. Our server was nice but because of the food quality, we won’t be returning.
