This was our 4 visit and it was amazing! Our servicer was friendly and attentive. The three meals we had were all fish and were delicious. Love the famous whale chips. Highly recommend.

I've been here twice, and the food is mediocre at best, not seasoned properly and the tortilla/bread is never warmed up even asking twice. It's an average place, but this is Florida most restaurants are average at best. At least they don't rip you off here, its a fair price for fair food.

Not a good first experience. My fried fish was undercooked. It was soft and soggy because the batter wasn't cooked all the way through. Drove to Key Largo to replace the meal that I threw away.

Whales Rib is a Deerfield staple! Amazing fun atmosphere with great drink options and tons of fun food options and TVs to be entertained! The Whale Fries are to die for!!! Any of the seafood are fantastic options. Recommend the Grouper sandwich

Our first visit here and was seated right away on a Saturday night. The ambiance is just a chill, comfortable place. We ordered:
1) Yellowfin Tuna Sandwich $15 - tuna was small, buns were huge; would probably be better off with chicken or bigger fish size to match the proportion
2) Snow crab legs with two sides $25 - 2 clusters and we got the baked potato and Caesar salad; good and simple
3) Dozen Steamed Clams $14 - 1/3 of them were sandy (** please don’t forget to soak them several more times **) aside from that, clams were good picks
3) Conch fritters included with whale fries $14 - thinly sliced fried potatoes were addicting and comes with a small side of whale juice, which is their homemade honey mustard. You normally wouldn’t hear someone say gimme that whale juice but ey… gimme a jug of that whale juice, please
Food came out quick and service was amazing. I have to compliment this: Every single one of their staff were very efficient and consistently attentive to all the customers. I saw such great teamwork, it’s impressive. Great job guys and def recommend!

We got the seafood sampler and all the seafood was cooked to perfection. Not dry or chewy. Best seafood I have ever had at a restaurant. Drinks were amazing and great prices

It's a great pretty historic for ma since have been going almost my whole like. It's just by Deerfield Bch. Peir and beach. All kinds of shopping around. I highly recommend going to Island water sports. It's a real cool vibe rustic. Food is all amazing..Don't forget to get extra whale sauce. Oyster are blue point right now. So good. Can't say one thing wrong. I haven't been down to Deerfield in a few years so It was a must stop to meet a friend I haven't seen since I was maybe 23. So nostalgic.
What a fun place. Thanks to Amanda we knew what to order. Everything was great and we can’t wait to go back. Yes just loved it there.

The food was excellent. I was really impressed. Had grouper fingers with their version of potatoes which was like homemade potato chips. The grouper was really good I never had it before it was tender and Flaky with a slightly buttery flavor.The portion was really large I was surprised and the price was excellent. By the way they have dolphin on the menu but it turns out it's not really dolphin, according to them it's actually mahi mahi. Dolphins are mammals and mahi are fish so I don't know why they insist on labeling it that way. Plus on a personal note marketing-wise seeing the word dolphin was a turn off. The drink portions (non alcoholic) are large. Which is super convenient. Definitely coming back to eat here.
