Whiskey Joe's | Port Richey

The waiter found it difficult to actually be around to help us. We went multiple times where we didn't see the waiter for 30 minutes because he was out on the deck chatting. (It wasn't busy enough to justify the long-term absence, which, as someone who used to wait tables, I can easily argue). He was friendly when he was around, but he also handed my wife a plate that was so hot it burned her. She now has welts on two fingers because he told her it was hot after he handed it to her. The food was good, but because of the lack of waiter (I had to go get another waitress to help us twice) and the burn for my wife, I likely won't return here.

We initially started with a reservation for 6 at 2:30 p.m. on a Saturday. We were running late and had 2 more guests to join as well. We called Whiskey Joe's at 2:20 p.m. to advise of the change from a party of 6 to a party of 8 and that we were running a few minutes late. We knew we had a 15 minute window but felt it proper to let them know. Instead of talking to a person we got a voice mail. Regardless we left a message and we were standing at the hostess counter at 2:43 p.m.. We were then advised that the "manager" who we never met or talked to cancelled our reservation. After a lot of conversations back and forth with the hostess, about the service and how we called, we were told they were too busy to check the answering machine and we would now have to wait 35-40 minutes for a table. As a FYI at this time of day the restaurant was about 50% occupied. Once again we dealt only with the hostess who just told us what the "manager" said. The hostess did find us a 6 top that we squeezed 8 chairs in after waiting 15 minutes. The food was good, the server was friendly but even after thanking the hostess at the end for her help, the attitude given back and never hearing directly from a "manager" will prevent us from coming back anytime soon. We spent $275.00 on a slow afternoon just to have a bad experience.

Horrible service. Food was okay nothing great.

Food was on the greasy side but the drinks were good. It was beautiful outside so we ate outside.

The food was great we got the rib basket and nachos and cheese the plate was huge...You will not leave hungry you will have to geta box

Great place on the water. Food is very good. Drinks are great!

Great seafood, down to earth place. Not fancy, casual atmosphere. indoor and outdoor seating. live entertainment.

The only complaint I have is that it was extremely warm inside. Way more fans are needed. The doors/bar window were open to the outside deck area which definitely plays a part in trying to cool the space.

Everything was great. The food was perfect and there were no issues, even with a party of 8. Will return

Service was great! Food was very good, came in a timely manner for crowd. Most importantly, all food came out hot! Very nice experience.

We sat outside, nice evening by the water and even saw dolphins. The food was okay. The value was good. The waitress was nice. Would definitely return if we return to the area!

Great experience. The service and food were fantastic. Good portions and nice varied menu. Service was genuinely friendly and efficient. The atmosphere of the whole place is a real gem

It's a great place to eat and enjoy a great view of the water. The food is great, but I will say I wasn't fond of the mixed drinks, as they didn't seem to have much alcohol.

I made reservations 3 days in advance for outside seating and when we arrived we were told they were all full. Why make reservations if you're going to honor it. We had to wait over 15 minutes to get drinks because you only had 1 bartender and she was slammed. Took longer for the second round. Two people at our table had fish and it was bad, even smelled bad. Sorry not a fan of this place and will not return.

I don't know what happened but I used to like this place. We had a bad experience tonight. It took 20 mins to get my beverage. Our appetizer was so salty. My entree was cold, our waitress didn't check if we needed anything when we got our food. I had to flag down someone. We packed up our dinner to go, paid and left. I will not be going back.
