Absolutely phenomenal!!! Our holiday party was hosted here last night and I would go back for lunch today it was that awesome. The crabcakes were fantastic, (I'm from Maryland so kinda picky) Bacon wrapped scallops cooked just right. I could eat my weight in the coconut shrimp. The service was 10/10. Super friendly, fast and attentive. The fire pits, the full moon, little chill in the air, it was a perfect evening. Can't wait to go back again!!!
Great burgers and tacos. You cannot beat the view! Grab a table out in the sand. Makes you feel like you are at the beach. The service was fantastic very friendly and fast. food came super quick.
Good food! We went at night and it was rainy. Looking forward to going during the day for the water view ☺️ service unrated 4 stars because they had one waiter for a lot of tables. They should staff better to avoid any delays or waiters being overwhelmed. Overall a good experience and we will be back.
First time was a charm! If you are looking for a tropical, waterfront island type restaurant , this is it. Wonderful! Offering a great Tiki bar, beach volleyball, cornhole, multiple fire pits, lots of seating both indoor and out, tasty food and outstanding service. I highly recommend for families, couples or parties! We will be back!
Great location and atmosphere. We sat at the bar and the bar tender was great. We ordered a couple 1/2 price apps as it was happy hour. Raw oysters were ok but the horseradish seems stronger than usual and hard to eat. The coconut mahi bites were good. The fish tacos were ok as well. We also had the signature salad but didn’t care for the Strawberry balsamic dressing. Overall it was ok, food was nothing special but edible.
All the food was excellent! Large portions for the price! Loved sitting out on the deck every evening! Great happy hour prices!!! Live music, great drinks, water view! Plenty of seating! Inside, on the covered deck or even on the sand at high tables or at the outside bar! Nice gift shop with shirts of all sizes and trinkets galore! Highly recommend giving them a try!
We had a great experience eating lunch at Whiskey Joe’s. When we got there a little bit before 12 noon on a Sunday, it wasn’t too busy, but the place quickly filled up. With beautiful weather and outdoor seating directly on the water, everyone preferred to sit outside. They have a large outdoor bar too, which is nice if you are just looking to grab drinks with a beautiful view. We ordered several different foods, including the loaded island fries, wings, grouper sandwich, tiki chicken breast, and jambalaya. Everything was delicious and the island fries were even filling enough to serve as an entree. The service was also excellent. Overall, we enjoyed the meal and the view made it even better. We will definitely be back again!
Came at 4pm on a Sunday. Restaurant has a lot of seating, so we were sat right away. Beautiful water view and food is excellent. We got a blackened chicken sandwich, a pulled pork sandwich and a kids Mac and cheese that came with a chocolate pudding (nice touch). Drinks were good, but would NOT recommend getting their mojito (for me too water-downed and just sour).
