Great pizza! Thanks for having gluten-free products!

Serena Selstead

Absolutely loved this place. the service was great and so was the food. I especially love how they had an excellent gluten free menu to chose from, I was able to get flavored pancakes unlike IHOP or Denny's their gluten free pancakes are just plain and they don't offer gf bread but this place does, I'm from WA State but when I move down here. I plan to eat here more often. Thank you guys for having a great gf menu for those of us that are allergic or intolerant.

They were AMAZING! They were very accommodating and double checked to make sure everything was safe!

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!

This is the cutest spot! I loved the chill atmosphere and wish I could have spent more time here. We got breakfast sandwiches and I had a peppermint mocha, all of which were phenomenal. They have gluten free bread too, which was so nice. It can be very stressful to travel, never knowing if I'll be stuck eating salads the entire time, so it's always a welcome relief when I find places that care enough to stock a variety of options. Thank you. We will be back next time we're in town.

Alyssa was an amazing server. My gluten free burger was delicious. We will definitely be back!

We've been getting pizza here for 3 years x2 vacations per year! Amazing pizza and the best gluten-free pizza option in PCB for my celiac husband and kids! Tastes like real pizza and not like cardboard! Lots of great menu choices! Aside from pizza the bruschetta, cheese garlic bread, and toasted ravioli are amazing! On our last trip, extended family members had the calzones and wings and gave those 5 stars as well! You will absolutely not be disappointed! They do not offer delivery but door dash will bring Bricks and Barley directly to you, even on the beach (we've done this! Lol). I prefer to pick up as it is only half a mile from where we stay. Food always ready by the time the estimate and they are always willing to accommodate any "extras" we've needed like cutting the GF pizzas in 8 slices instead of 4 to make it easy for little hands to eat. A HUGE selection of pizza toppings from classic to fancy like ribeye and balsamic glaze, fresh mozzarella, basil, pepperoni, etc. SO MANY TOPPINGS TO CHOOSE FROM! They also have salads which I have not tried only bc they have so many appetizers I am still working my way through them. Pizza by the slice, whole large pie, or 10" GF crust. I do not personally need GF crust but do not notice anything "off" when ordering the 10" crust for myself as I cannot eat an entire large pizza alone. Ha Next trip I am trying their signature breakfast pizza, served all day! Oh, and unbeknownst to me, they keep rewards on file for you based on your phone number. I had 2 x $10 off coupons I used this trip and I haven't been in PCB since September 2024. Score! 5 stars!

Jena Lauzon

We ordered to go and our order was ready and exactly to order! We have Gluten and dairy sensitivities so this was very important to me, and it was 100% right! The pizza was delicious and the phone ordering system impressed me! Will come back again!

Keera Smith

Thank you so much for offering gluten sensitive options! Also available for gluten free option is a baked potato & green beans. :) Makes eating with my family so much easier & enjoyable.

Ashton Schuman

They have a selection of Celiac safe food but none of it is fried as they only have one fryer. Don’t be fooled by the gluten free batter. I was so excited for calamari when the waitress said gluten free batter but then I asked about the fryer. I had the lemon garlic shrimp with gluten free bread and a salad. It was absolutely delicious, but we waited an hour for our food to be brought out and 30 minutes for our order to be taken. We had waited an hour on the table so we didn’t have much of a choice. The waitress was a little clueless about cross contamination but did go ask her manager questions she didn’t know the answer to & checked with the kitchen to make sure my food could be made Celiac safe. Maybe service would be better for lunch.

Christine Winter

While pricey, those milkshakes looked amazing! And how fun that they are delivered by a robot! I had the Florida burger and it was delicious. My gluten-free son also got a Florida burger and loved it on his gluten-free bun!

Britt Rouiller

We ate here 2x on our vacation week, yes it’s a tourist trap but decent gluten free options and I felt safe eating here with a wheat allergy

Jessica Armstrong

The food was great and the service was exceptional! Laticia is so kind and very attentive! I highly recommend this place, especially if you are gluten intolerant!

Susan Merz

Great food, gluten-free

S C

got the Omelette and potatoes and it was delicious and very filling! Some of the other items on the menu were very small portions for the money but were still delicious! The kids ate every bite of the gluten free waffles and loved it! Beautiful outside seating too. Only complaint is there is a one person bathroom outside of the restaurant that always had a long line. Not going not stop us from coming again though!

Tom Gaines

A unique spin on the traditional breakfast! Healthy options and gluten free options. There is something for everyone’s taste. We always eat here at least once when we come to PCB. The food is always delicious and the service is excellent! I wish we had a First Watch in Valdosta.

Eroica Wakstein

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

David

I had a great experience here! Party of three, seated immediately. Friendly staff. Food brought out quickly. We ordered a dish with crab on the side but they did not make the dish without crab. We got crab on the side anyway! Also, our waitress said that the rolls we ordered were gluten free but they weren’t. They had the same crunchy flakes that made the miso soup not gluten free as well. Thankfully, the staff were incredibly accommodating and we had a fantastic experience regardless. We loved everything we ordered. Would totally come back!

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

Wendy Ritz

The only place to get a Vegan Pizza. They have plant-based cheese and gluten free crust. I ordered one vegetable, gluten crust and one large Hawaiian with banana peppers. We had a group to feed after the beach. Thank you for taking care to get the order right!

Kyle Robertson

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

Kim Muller

Excellent service. Great food. So happy for the gluten free buns and dedicated fryer.

Paul Jones

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

Kate Brent

It’s a cute and small restaurant right off 30A. We were super excited to try it because half of our family is gluten free and they had several options. Overall their food was good and the menu options were great - and the prices were super reasonable considering its in 30A. Only critique is the gluten free pancakes aren’t the best. I assume they have lemon juice in the batter and it was a bit overwhelming for us. We would definitely go back - just would try the French toast (on Udis bread) or an omelette. The GF pancakes were really the only disappointing thing. Will try again!

Lily Martinez

Highly recommend Acai gluten free muffins, they're awesome

Laura Kirby

We love this place. It was clean, staff was nice & you get a lot of food for the price. We always get the burrito bowls because we have to eat gluten free so we can't have anything with flour. The salsa & cheese dips is very good also. Hubby gets chicken bowl. We have ate at both locations & both are good. Will eat here again. It wasn't that busy but we went on a Tuesday night.

Michelle Dobbs

Super pact ,overrated, very hot,The parking sucked, Not many vegetarian options or nothing gluten-free.

Nicole Gause

The pizza is great! We had a regular crust and gluten free bbq chicken pizza. Both were outstanding!

Dr. Kalah Regis

Best place to go after an all day beach day if you want to want some good crab legs ! Our server was the bomb ! His name was Tyler ! Super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu ! Checked on us and updated us frequently ! Really good service and the crab as so good ! Def. Worth it ! Even if you have dietary restrictions! Tyler was knowledgeable as well regarding gluten sensitivities ! Perfect place for the whole family ! 🙂

Jessica

Its a beautiful,serene coffee shop in the midst of Panama city beach traffic chaos.This Cafe would make a beautful venue for family reunions and Weddings. While they are kinda overpriced they had some great coffee,sweetened with Tupelo honey,because they do not have anything artifical to sweeten it. They offer healthy food options like scrambled eggs,oatmeal with fruit and they do have vegan and gluten free options if that is a nutrition preference for you. The service was great,the owner is very friendly. They also have a onsite joga studio and a small store that sells homemade soaps and,tea and jewelry It is a busy area so be careful getting in and out that parking lot.

ME MW

I really enjoyed eating here! Richard, the owner, is very kind and considerate! I am lactose and gluten intolerant and he, his daughter and restaurant family made me an amazing salad with some of the most delicious flavors! Not only that, they gave all of the mothers a fresh rose for mother's day!

Holly Johnston

Thank you Duncan was an absolute joy! Fantastic service. Attentive And knew the menu well. We are gluten free and he was very knowledgeable about the products And preparation. Thank you Duncan!

Elite Spray Tan

I absolutely LOVE cava! As the owner of a mobile spray tan company, I am constantly on the go. This is the perfect place to grab a quick bite. I am gluten free, so I greatly appreciate the larger variety of gluten free options available. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful, and I love the fact I can customize my own bowl. The lemon herb tahini dressing is delicious. I highly recommend adding the whipped feta as well, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu! The friendly, hardworking staff set the scene for a pleasant, laid-back atmosphere. Lamar in particular takes pride in his work and takes care of his guests. Thank you Lamar for your wonderful service!

David Coughlin

We were a party of 4, one celiac requiring gluten friendly, so based on reviews, we chose O'Brady's as they advertise gluten free fries done in a separate fryer and they do have a specific gluten free menu. Burgers being a key item of their menu we wrongly assumed they would offer gluten free buns (ok to upcharge for them) to enjoy the burgers, The evening we were there (Feb 12) they only had curly fries which are battered, not gluten free, and no gluten free bun so my great expectation of a delicious burger meal was not to be here. So I settled for the grilled shrimp, rice and broccoli. Shrimp were hot and adequate flavor at best, rice was only warm and broccoli was cold. I can not recommend. Friend ordered the burger special, specifically asked for well done, no pink. It came light pink and only warm, curly fries were barely warm. She could not eat it after one bite, sent it back and settled for nothing, appetite lost. That meal was not charged to us. Two others had the salmon and thoroughly enjoyed the salmon (gave the 2 stars) it was hot, but the rice and curly fries were just warm. Wait staff was great, but the kitchen needs some attention. Two of us wore flip flops which were sticking to the floor, time to mop it up. Our high opinion based on reviews going in were highly disappointed in reality. We will not be back.

Joelle Boutwell

Excellent service with smiles and friendly employees! ALTANZUL was smiling the moment I walked in and was very accommodating with my gluten allergy! Definitely a much better experience than the Panama City location.

In town for work. Found this pizza place around the corner from where we were staying. The employees were extremely friendly, the pizza was hot and delicious. We ordered half O’s BBQ Delight and Pineapple Express. They make everything fresh, and had a great selection of beer and cider. Super low key and enjoyable place during spring break - for non spring breakers. Although we didn’t try it, they do have gluten free crust on the menu.

Beachside Delight at Sunrise Cafe in Panama City Beach Florida. There's something truly magical about starting your day with the serene backdrop of a Florida sunrise, a cup of steaming java, and a filling breakfast. Sunrise Cafe is a breath of fresh coastal air. The beachy decor adds character to the ambiance, making it a genuinely cozy and comfortable dining spot. The menu is creatively reimagined classics and some vegetarian and gluten-free friendliness. A hidden gem in Panama City Beach!

Ashlee Levatino

Gluten- Free Friendly !!! Can't eat bread? NO PROBLEM! You can get your favorite burger as a bowl, and I recommend you enjoy it with some fries. Absolutely delicious!!

A W

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.

J CC

Pork belly nachos and tacos were amazing. Big portions and big flavors. Nachos were gluten free.

Angela Maicki

Really great! The ambiance is great, total steakhouse vibes with a coastal feel. Service was exceptional. Our server was friendly and attentive without being too much. They have a great wine selection. Our food was wonderful! We ordered the deviled “Angel” eggs with bacon marmalade & fried shrimp. These are a MUST!!! The bacon marmalade needs to be jarred and sold. So good. We also each ordered the NY strip. It was cooked to order and seasoned well. We got all of the classic sides - Ceasar salads, sautéed mushrooms and mashed potatoes. All delicious. My son has a gluten allergy and they prepared him a beautiful chicken breast and veggies. It was good. Highly recommend this restaurant. We’ll be back!

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.
