Out visit necessitated indoor seating due to the cool weather. Our server (don’t recall his name) was excellent. Friendly and attentive, but not overly so. We share the cheese curd appetizer which was delicious. Splitting the seafood platter was a good idea but we didn’t even finish that. A lot of fried food.

Let me start by saying CoCo made the difference between a 4 or 5. She was attentive, friendly and made the experience. The food was also delicious. We had the Al e Gator bites, which superb, for an appetizer and clam strips for dinner. My wife had chicken strips and also a daiquiri ion a souvenir glass, which gets you discounted refills forever. Everything was very good and the location and atmosphere topped it off. Yes this is a must for the beach visit.

This was probably my 3rd time eating here and I was blown away. The fried shrimp platter was amazing. My fiancé said his seafood platter was good, other than the scallops tasting a bit off. This place is suitable for families with children and the accommodate large groups, which can be a bit loud.

We went here on the encouragement of others. It was…ok. The bar area and drinks were fun! We ate inside. It was noisy (not the restaurant’s fault). The food was just ok - nothing special.

We ate at Pineapple Willy’s twice in the last 4 days. It was good both times. Had Mahi and clam basket the first night. Very busy but excellent service. 2nd night over an hour wait but we got right in to one of the bars with a great view. Our bartender MJ took great care of us and we had a great time. Can’t say enough about MJ, she was awesome! Had the Mahi poboy and my wife had the Mahi blt. Very good.

This is a great place to go on your frist day. Get you a souvenir cup. You can keep coming back every day as many times as you want to get a drink. The tumblers hold ice for at least 24 hours. The drinks are awesome. Everyone of them that I tried I would get again. You can sit outside and listen to the ocean. Watch the people play on the beach or in the ocean. The food all taste very freash. You will not be disappointed in the food. I had a very picky eater in my group and she loved it. The amount of food for the price is right.

Food was really good. Server was very friendly. Food got to us before our drinks (we’ve never had that happen). Over all, ??????

First time trying this place. With a crappy visit to a different restaurant we were a little hesitant to pay a lot for another meal We wouldn’t enjoy. Started off with the alligator bites, also a first time trying them, they were good, kids devoured them! Had one kid get the chicken tenders, gets it EVERYWHERE! Said they were good. The other kid decided to try the Mahi-Mahi basket, she enjoyed it! Husband asked about their catch of the day and decided to go with that because it was grouper and hard to find where we’re from and a side of clam strips. He enjoyed his meal and I went with BLT just because I was craving a sandwich. Nothing special with it but it hit the spot. The lady that waited on our table was patient, nice and attentive. Will definitely stop in if we decide to visit Panama City again.

GREAT! Drinks are awesome, food very good. Can't beat the location or outdoor seating view. Very good service!

Loved this place. Loved the atmosphere right on the beach. Great food and great service. Tried the world famous ribs and they were very good.
Food was good, frozen daiquiri was EXCELLENT! We arrived about 4pm and got seated immediately on the pier dining area (outside but covered). Waiter was adequate, not outstanding but def added to the experience as opposed to taking away from it. So many choices of food I’ll def have to return someday to try more.

We went to Pineapple Willy’s over Fall Break. We liked the atmosphere and sat outside above the beach. Their food is okay and expensive. We bought an overpriced tshirt for $35 dollars for our teenage daughter at their gift shop. Go to Pineapple Willys if you don’t care what the check says. We spent $135 plus the tip for an average meal. You are paying a lot for the location.

The seafood platter just wasn't good. I ate one shrimp, one little mahi mahi strip, one scallop and one clam strip. The rest I took home to my dogs. My cats wouldn't even eat the clam strips. I don't know what was wrong, but it just wasn't good. My husband had the bucket of ribs, and those were delicious, but when at the beach, i expect great seafood. If just wasn't what I expected.
