All staff, from the hostess to our server were friendly. The food was great and perfectly prepared. On a nice table there is a lot of outdoor space to take advantage of and the parking lot has been expanded which was a great surprise. Whiskey Joe's is a great place to go to for a fun time. We've never had a bad meal here.

Waiter was wonderful, took order promptly, explained specials. Had lobster tails, which were very good and husband had the grouper which he enjoyed. Caesar salads were garlicky and good. All in all, would definitely recommend
