   We always have a great time at Whiskey Joe’s. The food is consistent, drinks are great and the views are awesome. If it is packed, you may have to wait a bit for a server but that is understandable. Great happy hour specials too!

   I hate to say it, but I wasn’t impressed with anything here. They were out of ALL fried fish, so my wife and I tried some fried shrimp and gator. The shrimp was pretty good, but the gator was tough and chewy. I understand it was a Sunday night, but nothing here was worth what we paid. Service was very slow and we were seated next to the bar so we hand the ambiance of constant blenders and ice shakers. Not at all what I expected and I’m afraid we won’t be back. I expected a good waterfront beachy vibe, but other than the ambiance, this wasn’t it.

   This was our first time. The food was really good. We got the shrimp tacos and the fish tacos with a side of sweet potato fries. Probably the best fries I’ve had. Drinks were good but a little pricey for what you got. The view is incredible

   My pup Winni and I enjoyed lunch while sitting on the deck. Our sever brought Winni a cup of water and we just relaxed. I had the oysters broiled on the half shell and the blackened grouper.

   My waygu steak was tough, chewy, and very overcooked. Normally, my food is great. The waitress had no knowledge of the ounces of the steak or the wine pour.

   Food quality was awful. Nothing fresh other than the oysters, but they had sand in them. Plantains were good. Fried seafood was way too salty and sweet potato fries had an odd seasoning. A seafood restaurant on the bay should offer fresh fish. Overpriced for what we got. Won’t be back.

    Always lovely to see the sunset from Whiskey Joe’s bay view. Food is always good, and our server was great! Parking was the only downfall, 15 minutes to make a left turn into their parking lot only to find they are full. We then needed to drive to their other paid parking location, and take their shuttle back to the restaurant. And again the long wait to make a left into their property. I needed to send a message through the Open Table app that we would be late due to traffic and parking issues. I was happy they honored our reservation. Maybe Whiskey Joe’s needs a left turn light off of Courtney Campbell Causeway, the traffic was horrible!
