Thaddeus was our server and exceeded our expectations. His knowledge of the menu and recommendations were spot on. The alligator bites appetizer was delicious, as was the jambalaya. As a result of the quality of food and hs level of service is exactly why we returned the following night. Taylor, one of the hostesses, recognized us from the night before and welcomed us back. We were in Panama City for 7 nights and ate at Pineapple Willy's four times...it was THAT good! My husband who has celiac was well cared for. He enjoyed the bucket of ribs and the grilled chicken dinner. In addition to the Jambalaya, I had the Shrimp Po' Boy...loaded with popcorn shrimp on a crusty bun....chef's kiss! I also ate the Shrimp & Grits-another tasty dish! My last evening I enjoyed the Grilled Shrimp dinner. I was thoroughly impressed with every meal I ate. Service was prompt, and food was hot and delicious when brought to the table. Staff is quick to ensure your beverages are refilled. When you go, be sure to ask for Thaddeus - you won't be disappointed in the food or the service!

Wow was it busy tonight! Nicole was our server and she was excellent and outstanding!! I would highly recommend her. We had lots of kids meals with Mac and cheese, cheeseburgers and mini corn dogs. Also the kids got kiddie size milk shakes. For the adults we got water, Shirley drink and coke. For our meals hot honey chicken, whiskey burger and avocado cheese burger. All the food was excellent. If it was not so busy I will have ordered more fries please.

They have the gluten sensitive menu. I let the young lady know which was taking my order. she made sure to note my food, and she went to the back to let them know. My food came out a few minutes later than everyone else's, but he made sure that it had no bread, and he delivered a sealed pack of BBQ sauce to prevent possible contamination. The food was excellent. I had no issues afterwards. We will be returning.

Visiting the area and my better half and I heard about this place. The service was professional and inviting. The food was delicious and the portions great. They even have gluten free options! Only bad thing is they don't have one in my home town. Go check them out!

Raw & Juicy lives up to its name—clean, fresh food served in a space that feels like Tulum with a coastal Florida twist. Service was excellent (thank you, Sasha!), and there’s plenty of outdoor seating to soak up the sun. While I didn’t see any indoor tables, they have lots of healthy to-go snacks and drinks available. The food was spot-on. My only critique: the coffee didn’t quite hit the mark. But everything else was delicious—we bought the avocado toast egg & cheese sandwich (they ran out of biscuits), and gluten-free waffles with strawberries & maple syrup).

I want to start by saying that everything we had was wonderful… That being said, I think it is probably overpriced for what it is. The omelet was good and decent on flavor. My only complaint was the inside stuff could have been cooked a bit longer to bring out some more flavor. The homemade jam was great that they served with the toast, which was just okay for sourdough. The nice part about this place for anyone who is gluten-free is that they do not upcharge for taking the gluten-free option, although it is still a much smaller serving of GF toast than the sourdough. Overall, the service was great, and the summer drinks were the star of the show. The drinks were refreshing, and it was a good way to start the day.

Great place for bbq, lots of gluten free options too. Sides change often and most are amazing. Highly recommend

Charlie Curtis

John is amazing, my sister has a gluten allergy and he made sure that she had what she needed to stay safe. Definitely allergy friendly. Great food. Again, John was the best

The choices for gluten free meals was more extensive than most. Terrific food, great service. Will go back again when in search of a good meal and good atmosphere.

Kyle Robertson

Great fast food restaurant and they have a gluten free menu for people who have celiac disease.

Kim Muller

Brought the family here because of gluten free menu offered. Restaurant was empty and service was slow. Food quality was disappointing.

Lily Martinez

Highly recommend Acai gluten free muffins, they're awesome

Angela Foust

It was very busy comparing it to our other go to the atmosphere was lacking. However the gluten free pancakes were great and the omelet was stuffed full. The service was great from the hostess to the server.

Ms. Jennifer was an earthly angel! She went above and beyond to ensure that i was taken care of with food and drinks that were safe for me since I have celiac disease. She offered prayers and love as well for me and my health. The food was extremely delicious and we will be joining her again!! Thanks Jennifer!! Much love sweet lady...I won't ever forget you ❤

Danny Pointer

Great food always eat there when in town they have gluten free items staff very helpful

Erin Thieme

Placed an order for delivery and they called me personally to make sure one of the rolls I ordered they made gluten free. Means so much when you have an allergy and the restaurant is looking out for you! Awesome sushi on vacation- will be back!

We went here for my wife’s birthday dinner. She has a gluten and dairy allergy, and we have been to many hibachi restaurants so we felt like we could have a nice dinner here…couldn’t have been more wrong. Once seated we ordered our food, the wife can’t have the noodles so she asked to substitute with fried rice. The waitress came back to the table and said they don’t do substitutions. Rice versus noodles in an allergy situation shouldn’t have been an issue. At no point did anyone try to make it better or offer any sort of solution. Very very disappointed after having eaten at several hibachi restaurants that had no issue with taking care of an allergy order. Would NOT recommend.

Fun food experience. The cortadito was super sweet but enjoyable. Thoroughly liked the pork chop dinner - chuleto and the fried plantains. Both the pork chop and plantains were gluten free.

Tom Aguero

First off, love the service fee model because tipping culture is stupid... Though we're still gonna tip cause this place is worth it. Had gluten free cauliflower White pizza and gluten free corn tortilla Mahi tacos, both delicious. Menu does not mark GF items, but staff knows what is safe or not. Shared frier, so avoid fried items.
