    Most of the food was to be expected for tourist beach food. However the fish was raw. 2 items never showed up to the table. These things could have been easily rectified had a waitress been anywhere in sight. Never received refills and when you are willing paying 13-18 dollars a drink you would assume the waitress would want to add more drinks to your tab. Will not return

    Service was an after thought. We had been to several restaurants in the area for the week and this by far was the most disappointing. Food was ok but the ambience and server engagement was minimal. We were seated promptly from our reservation but everything slow rolled after that and the restaurant was not even full. Other better options around

    The overall experience was nice, especially considering the beautiful beach view. The service was a little slow and there weren’t a lot of ppl when we were there. Some of our food was cold. It seemed like they made some of our food wait on the rest of the food to be ready. We enjoyed it and would go back!

    I will begin with the most important....service! Our waitress, Monica H, was on top of everything. We did not need to ask for anything; she was ready with our next drink, chips/queso, etc. She was funny and helpful. Everything we like to see in a server. Now the food.....all of it was delicious. But hands down, the strawberry glazed ribs are definatly something you should try. I also had the grouper with shrimp and crab on top. Yum!!! As far as appetizers, all of it was delicious. We had mahi Mahi nuggets, chips and queso, and firecracker shrimp. Was not a fan of the dipping sauce with the nuggets but they were great without. Oh yea, drinks were delicious as well. Especially the strawberry mojitos and Hurricane Juice.

    We can not rate the food because we never got any. We arrived with a reservation but were told there’d be a 30 min wait. We took a seat in the bar area to wait but could never get service to get a drink. We were finally seated at a table but never got any service there either. The party seated next to us said it took them an hour to get food after placing an order. They were not even crowded (I can see why!). We left. I don’t know how they are in business. I do not recommend dining here.

    Don't waste your money here. Go to Flounders Chowder House next door if you want good food. We went to Flounders the day before and loved it and we're very disappointed in the food here at Whiskey Joe's and you could tell the staff was not happy to be there either.

    Unable to make get to the reservation as there was no available handicap parking (several spots taken by vehicles with no handicap sticker or tag). One person in our party was in a wheelchair. Would not recommend it for diners requiring accessible parking. I did call and explain. Dined elsewhere.

    Calamari was great! Gumbo——not so good. The only seafood in it was shrimp which was very overcooked. The pieces of sausage were hard. It’s not very spicy. The okra was the best part of it. The fish and chips were good. Fish was hot but fries were warm. The Mac and cheese was a disappointment! Nothing special. I ordered a skewer of shrimp with it and they were grilled nicely and not overcooked. The drinks were terrible!!!!! My mojito tasted like soda water. We sent them back and reordered margaritas. They were not much better. Hopefully they will get a better bartender. It was our first visit. We may return for the calamari at some time.
