This restaurant is located right on the water next to the casino boat. Despite the weather being hot in Florida, lunch on the deck was quite cool. If you go (and I highly recommend it), you MUST get the guava ribs. They are to die...for. The mac and cheese was delicious too and the Cobb salad was nutritious and tasty. Our waitress (a cute, middle-aged, blond lady) was working on Mother's Day (bless her heart) and told us that she was giving the other working moms a break that had younger kids. I was very impressed by this lady's act of kindness! The food and the employees are BOTH amazing!More

Ugggh! I ate way toooooo much! The food is awesome. Normally I eat small amounts of food or “graze” throughout the day. This restaurant made an excellent key lime pie. From the swashbuckler, blackened grouper sandwich to my blackened mahi-mahi dinner, EXCELLENT! Gator bites were...wonderful. Tender, not gamey. Spicy sauce drizzled on top was good. Hidden gems were found…. Fried dill pickles tucked around the gator bites.Our server, Alyx, was very good, on top of everything. 10star service from her. Great experience for my birthday. We will be back! For a family fun time, check it out. There is a nice sandy beach as well. I would give more than 5 stars but not an option.More

I would not recommend this place to anybody. Only one thing is good about the place is location. Everything else is far away from expectations. The parking is not available, the reservation is not available, the waiter was not available for making the order for...longer than 30 minutes and as result the dinner was not deliver even after 90 minutes sitting at the restaurant. I am not sure why this place is popular, but I am no coming back for sure.More

Food took forever! Was decent when we did get it, over cooked. The servers should probably alert the guests sitting down on the sand by the water that their food will be coming from a food truck. We had no idea. Very understaffed, not very...attentive servers, not very personable either. Paid almost $200 for food and drinks we didn’t really enjoy. If it wasn’t for the atmosphere and view, we probably wouldn’t be back.More

Have to say I was pleasant surprised with this place. Often a place 'with-a-view' is not a place with good food. My jambalaya was not only tasty but was a hearty dish as well. The shrimp tacos were a bit on the lite side. We...ate on the deck, which I would not recommend after dark as the lighting is weak.More

We stopped here cuz the lady that we rented from, AirB&B, recommended this place. She was spot on. Don was our waiter/server, he was excellent! We went with another couple and the food was superb. Gator bites app was fabulous, big and meaty. Meal was...Jambalaya and it was flavorful and very savory. Beers were great as well. Don kept our drink glasses full, the food was served hot! I hate luke warm or cold food. Thanks Don for making our visit so great! See ya soon!More

First time visit to Whiskey Joe's and was a bit disappointed in the quality of the appetizers. Gator bites, and nachos both my favorite. The gator bites where very salty and a little on the tough side The nachos chips had the texture like they...were in the micro to long Wouldn't recommend the nachos or the gator bites Both my wife and I had Grouper sandwich She ordered it fried and I had my blackened. Not sure if it really was Grouper but both were ok fish and I’ll leave it at that. Price point was ok if it really was grouper but if it wasn’t then maybe a bit high Order a beer, came in a small glass, a bit disappointed in the size. Overall, the atmosphere was nice, gave the beach feel, complete with a fire pit and outdoor bar.More

Great vibes at this restaurant whether you sit outdoors or inside or on the sandy beach area. The service is excellent and the food is good. The portions are average but we always get an appetizer so we are more than satisfied. The frozen drinks...are the best. It feels like you are in the Florida KeysMore

We were placed on an overhead platform outside with a trash can beneath us. When the food arrived after an interminable wait, the flies from the trash can arrived. No one else was bothered. When we realized a trash can was below us, we asked...it to be moved and it was, but an uncovered trash can near the dining area is probably a health hazard. One of our party could not eat her dinner because we had a two year old at the table and we were chasing away flies so we asked two people for boxes but they never arrived. One of us had to go to the bar to get boxes. The waitress understood we had a two year old and needed quicker service but the drinks and food were very slow in coming. I had to go to the bar and request the check. All in all, a very bad experience.More

The best most friendliest bar we have ever been to wait in our 60s and we've been to a lot this one stands out above all the rest, it sets on the beach channel of the ocean on the west coast of Florida, even in...the hottest month of July it was constantly a breeze they have fans in every corner of the Tiki Hut so you always feel a breeze the bartenders and the waitresses were fast and efficient I felt sorry for them because they had to run clear up stairs to bring down our food they were ever so friendly and pleasing oh, the bar stools for easy to sit on and get on not to mention allowing our puppy on site at the bar but they're not allowed on the beach which is understandable but it's a dog friendly Town everywhere oh, we plan to move to New Port Richey, you have to try their barbecue pork ribs get one full order it's enough for two you'll love them then they give you a bucket of beer 5413 on ice and they make sure the ice is ever readyMore

We stopped in for an early dinner on a Tuesday. Our server, Kristen, was super friendly and very attentive. Our party of 4 ordered fish & chips, whiskey burger, mango habanero wings, and a pepperoni pizza. Everything was excellent! The tables next to us ordered...seafood meals with beans and rice and they looked and smelled amazing. The view is nice and the manager kept making rounds, too! A nice afternoon.More
