Casual fun place. Outdoors upstairs was our favorite. Servers were fast and polite. Our grouper sandwich in a basket was the best we had during an 11 day stay in Ft Myers. Better flavor than all the fancy places we went. Beer, big screens, eat outdoors, great view upstairs... Does it get better than this ? more

We were excited to try the Beached Whale, because it seemed like a lot of locals were frequenting it. An added bonus was the upstairs outdoor seating deck with a view of the beach hotels across the street. Unfortunately we should have realized that they were mostly ordering bar food and drinks, not the main menu. The nicest thing I... more

The buffalo shripm is a great consept, but the hot sauce over powered the delicate flavor of shrimp, so we might as well order the cheaper... more

Have been to the Beached Whale the past four years. I discovered their Buffalo Shrimp two years ago and have to go get them every time I am in the area. If you like Buffalo Wings you HAVE to try Buffalo Shrimp. Their grouper is Fantastic. They just have wonderful food. Speed of service may be because everything is cooked... more

Fourth trip to this area, we love it ! We always stop by and dine @ the Beached Whale restraurant right outside the center of town, walking distance for all. This year we vacationed with my 14 yr. old son and my mother in law. They both loved the place and the food! The Totilla Soup was fantastic and a... more
