Whiskey Joe's | Tampa

"We had a fantastic dinner at Whiskey Joe's, and it was one of the highlights of our evening. The waterfront setting created a relaxed atmosphere, and the food exceeded our expectations from start to finish. We started with the Alligator Bites, which were tender, perfectly fried, and full of flavor. The fried garlic pickles were crispy and delicious, and the chipotle mayo added the perfect smoky kick for dipping. For our entrées, the Smokin' Bacon Burger was outstanding. It was juicy, cooked perfectly, and loaded with crispy smoked bacon, American cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, red onion, and their delicious secret sauce. The Stacked Jerked Turkey Club was equally impressive, with perfectly seasoned jerk turkey, smoked bacon, fried pickle chips, fresh lettuce, tomato, and flavorful jerk mayo on toasted ciabatta bread. Both meals were generous, fresh, and packed with flavor. We finished by sharing the Warm Brownie Sundae, and it was absolutely incredible. It was rich, indulgent, and almost overwhelming in the best possible way, featuring warm brownie, vanilla ice cream, salted caramel, hot fudge, whipped cream, a pirouette rolled cookie, and even a chocolate dipped vanilla ice cream bar. It's definitely a dessert made for sharing. A special thank you to our server, Kaitlin, who was absolutely fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, welcoming, and made our entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Combined with the excellent food, beautiful waterfront views, and outstanding service, Whiskey Joe's delivered a memorable evening. We will definitely be back the next time we're in the area!"

"This place was pretty good, and it has a great view of the water. However, we didn’t get that experience. After requesting a seat with a view, we were placed on an elbow where we couldn’t really enjoy a great view of the ocean. Then our waitress seemed a little overwhelmed with the traffic, so we had a slow start. However, things picked up once we got our drinks (about 20 minutes in). We had two Dave’s Signature Margaritas and two Arnold Palmers. The iced tea was stronger than the margaritas, but we can talk about that another time. Once the food arrived, everything was great. We had the shrimp and crab dip, mango habanero and strawberry guava BBQ wings, firecracker shrimp, a sampler of Oysters Rockefeller, the grouper dinner, and the Cajun seafood pasta. Now before you pass judgment, we were hungry and this place came highly recommended. The food did not disappoint. Seafood was fresh, and fish was fried to perfection. Wings had very unique blend of spices, and the shrimp n crab dip we had to order two! The only downside was that the oysters could’ve been broiled a bit longer. Overall worth the wait!"

"Location first off on the water was fantastic! The entire options were similar to a Millers Ale House, good but nothing different. The dessert was a lot, 5 of us shared this behemoth (pictured) i shared the chicken nachos and the lobster Mac and cheese it was a rush Job bread wasn’t grilled and there were still chunks of butter visible in the pasta, lobster was slightly cold. The waitress and manager did their best to correct the kitchens failure which is appreciated. Took the new order to go but tasted before packing up, food was fine as expected ….the 2nd time around. The parking is interesting $5 for valet or $2 hour on the beach parking, would have been nice to get a discount for parking since you can’t park for free to eat here. The only other bad thing was the wildlife. Eating outside and enjoying the water was amazing but dispite the pigeon spikes on the rafters the birds still landed above head and thankfully I was not receive a bird dripping christening…. Not sure what can be done there. The inside was great as was the barefoot walk up bar. I would go again dispite the kitchen issue and average food just to be on the water enjoying a cocktail with friends for dinner."
