We came for breakfast which was OK, but not great. I had the Whaler and Wife had the breakfast wrap, we wouldn't get either one again. The service and atmosphere were excellent, which made up the difference.

Incredible view of the Gulf. Stopped in for a late lunch. Cold beers and a very cold Hurricanes - nice and strong. Got some food too. Crab cakes were extremely good. Shrimp was grilled to perfection. Waitstaff was great. They let us have a very relaxed leisurely lunch without making us feel like we need to leave to turn the table.

This place was the BEST! We had lunch here yesterday and breakfast today! Great views, great food, and AMAZING service! Today, we had Luis as a server and he was so attentive and friendly! He gave some information we were looking for on the beach, and he was so funny! Definitely coming back!

I had the fried shrimp, one dozen. Bigger shrimp, fresh and tasty. I think the price is quite good for the meal. My wife had the fish tacos, less well priced due to lower amount of fish in the tacos. Overall, food is quite tasty. We had a group of 6. Each liked their meal. Beach view is excellent! Sat outside, very enjoyable. Would eat there again.

We ate at Whale Tail after a day of renting pontoon boats. Our party had 8 people so we were happy that they sat us right away. The view was amazing… an open patio right on the ocean. Everyone liked their food and their cocktails. Although no one was blown away by the food. It was good food, a good price for the meals and definitely a great place to go. It wouldn’t take much to increase the food quantity just a little and make Whale Tail spectacular.

This place was highly recommended by my friend’s boss, so we had to check it out! Their location is amazing! They have a beautiful view of the sunset from their outdoor deck. As we walked up we were warmly greeted by the host and seated right away. I love the beachy diner shack vibe. The food was great! I ordered the shrimp skewers and it came with a full stick from tip to bottom of shrimp. The grilled flavor was delicious, the side of grilled veggies and corn on the cob and rice also had a delightful taste! Our server was awesome. Just a great overall atmosphere and food. Highly recommend!
