Pineapple Willy's - Gulf Lagoon Beach

Very busy around 4th of July. Congested parking and long wait. Food and atmosphere is great.

HEAVILY sugared drinks, below average fried food. If you want to look at Walmart shoppers while you eat over priced fried garbage this is the place for you. If you have any knowledge in the food and beverage world don’t go here. Trash food, trash drinks, trash clientele, high prices. “But you get a souvenir cup”

Great restaurant to visit. Highly recommend the Blackened Mahi

1 hour wait to get a table for a party of 5. I thought it was reasonable. Olace was packed. Indoor bar with $16 dollar large margaritas and drinks for kids and you get to keep the cup! made the wait feel like 5 to 10. Fantastic view of beach from the restaurant. Menu was simple. Food came out fast. This place was packed, prices are good. Food was good. Not fantastic. The place was still great.

If you want a truly great experience and fantastic food, this is the place that you want to go! I ordered the shrimp basket. I was absolutely NOT disappointed! I had plenty of shrimp and loads of fries. I ordered water, because let's face it, I probably would have drank my entire vacation budget on their delicious mixed drinks. Typically the wait staff ignores guest (at other restaurants) unless they can sell another drink, leaving your glass empty for most of your meal, not here! The wait staff was always eager to get us anything we needed and always checking to see if we needed more water. That's a good wait staff! Put a weight on anything you don't want to blow away, the breeze can get very aggressive. Absolutely DO NOT put money on the table as it will blow away!! Give your tips directly to the wait staff. And thank them for their hard work, if they were anything like our wait staff, they worked their tails off to make sure we had a great experience. This place is absolutely great for the entire family! Our wait was short (and it was peak dinner time) and gave us time to enjoy a beverage prior to dinner. Our entire vacation was better because of the experience we had at Pineapple Willy's! Do not miss this restaurant!
