   Servers are always unhappy. Food is not to order every time, drinks are good but over priced. Beer pricing is good on the other hand. The one positive atmosphere is excellent.

   Everything was great. Live music was fun, playing volleyball on the beach was fun for my grandkids. Perfect weather, too! 😁 Ambience is a fun beach/tiki vibe. Make reservations if you want to be outside or if you have a larger party. Busy, fun place on a Saturday night. Only negatives were parking, and my husband’s burger was dry. Grouper was tasty, other food for our party of nine was good, too. We would go again.

   Awful. Had a reservation they could not accommodate. Calamari was okay, fish tacos were burnt, fish and crab cake were dry and my niece had to wait 15 minutes after we got our meal for her mac n cheese with charred chicken and hardly any cheese.

   They did not let us know before we were seated that there was a kitchen fire and most food was unavailable. We ordered a beer and calamari. 20 minutes to get a beer. Calamari served cold with a film over the sauce. Don’t know what the food was..but not calamari. Strange consistency. Thought we were going to get sick the whole way home. Don’t go!!

   My wife and I dined with friends that we have not seen for many years. We had a wonderful dinner on delicious food and our experience was even better thanks to our delightful server Cassandra. She was friendly, attentive and saw to all of our dining needs ... an excellent ambassador of Whiskey Joe's !!!

    Fish and chips were cold and not crispy. Nacho chips had stale chips. Mac and cheese was good. That was about it. Service was fine. But super noisy. We won’t be back. Basically bad bar food with over loud music.
