Whiskey Joe's | Tampa ⭐ 4.1 (16,182)

The view was the main reason we went eat here. It was a beautiful view. The food is why we would go back. Fish was delicious. The beer batter was done just right. The tartar sauce tasted as if it was made in house. The shrimp and scallops were fried great as well. The waitress did a good job and kept checking in. Definitely worth stopping in and trying.

This is one of the absolute most fun restaurants we visited on our trip to Tampa! A really nice, sit down restaurant with good food and good vibes. It was the only place we went back to for seconds! It was quite busy both times we went, so be sure to make a reservation and plan ahead for valet parking. With those taken care of, however, we were seated immediately! The service is great and the view is spectacular! As far as the food is concerned, highly recommend the gator bites as an appetizer! After that, the fish and chips was melt-in-your-mouth delicious and the sandwiches are top notch! Big portions and reasonable prices, especially for such a nice restaurant! The only thing that we felt was over-priced were the cocktails. For $10 - $15 each, they tasted like Smirnoff iced and buzz ball. Good, but expensive for what it was. Overall, a wonderful experience and will keep an eye out anytime I'm in Florida to see if one is nearby!

Sunday lunch time - surprisingly not too busy. Parking was valet only and most of us parked on the beach side and opted for the quick walk. Pay by plate ended up being a bit cheaper than valet. Came with a larger group and were seated by the window. The food was tasty, and the service was okay. It was a bit of a bummer that they didn’t clear any of our plates after we finished eating, even as we continued ordering drinks. We ran out of room on the table and ended up piling our dishes on top of each other. The window behind us also started leaking quite a bit when the rain came in, leaving a large puddle under the table. The construction looked new but didn’t seem well done. I would assume it was a result of faulty hurricane repair. That said, the food overall was good and really tasty, and we still had a great time. I’d go back, but rather on a day without a storm in the forecast so we can enjoy more of the outdoors.

We stopped here for some well needed R&R. I’d like to preface by saying we went on a Saturday evening. First, I will say they do have a lot of parking and also valet parking (paid). So don’t fret on not being able to find a spot, but be prepared if it’s a weekend that you will have to park a bit far most likely. Second, the tables fill up quick and it takes a long while to get seated. We were able to get a drink but the bar itself was completely full outside. They do live music but you can hear the music from the parking lot more. People literally park their car in the parking lot and blast music from their trunks, so be aware. We liked the restaurant itself and the staff is very friendly! We finally got a table outside and it takes about an hour from once you are seated to order and get your food. Our queso dip was cold, but our server was very nice about it and got us a new one. Honestly the food was good, the views were even better, and the staff made up for the wait time. I would recommend making reservations here if you can (and they allow that). Great place to chill but again, just be aware if it’s the weekend and plan accordingly!

First time coming here and so close to home from the food to the service and can we talk about the VIEW!!!! Everything was absolutely amazing. After lunch walked over to the beach which has many palapa bands playing on the weekends and such a beautiful place. This is going to be the go to with visitors and a go to for us! The menu has something for everyone and they do take reservations. Can’t wait to come back
