Great little spot, the food was great, the sangria was good and the music was excellent. The atmosphere and vibe was much like Key West. We came by golf cart and the parking was easy and look like their enhancing them as well. We’ll be back!

Loved the atmosphere, food and service. Had a good burger and fries looking out over the dock. This is a great place to grab a drink and relax with great views.

A fun place with great food! You can dine inside or out. Also a killer bar and live music! Awesome burgers and we love the sweet potato fries! Onion rings and cheese sticks are tasty also! On the water with a nice dock and scenery!

My wife had one of the big salads with grilled chicken which she enjoyed even though she had to pay extra for cakes and something else she had asked for. Her salad was served when my Mahi dinner was brought to our table. I got good-sized grilled piece of fish which was tasty with my requested cocktail sauce. For sides, I got a very large mashed potatoes/butter serving and a larger-than-normal size of coleslaw. We chose to sit inside because of a cool breeze but plenty of seating inside, by bars, and outside open-area bar and under umbrellas on deck overlooking river. We had a good experience, but parking was a little tricky at first to see where to park.

Whisky River is an awesome place to get a drink and the food is amazing. I just stopped for lunch and got a beer and a six dollar appetizer that was really good. Can't get a better deal than that!
