I'm not a fan of burger but this one was really good! I invited my friends and they both like theirs too. They have 2 entrances and I might came in from the back door but it was cute little corner back there. The place are big it might be nice for a big party or gathering. The only thing I only see 2 servers and it wasn't that busy that time but service was pretty slow. I can't imagine if the place is full. As I recall they also have a bar but we were in hurry so I didn't get a chance to look.

Burger with Brie bacon and fries

Great food. We had a chicken salad sandwich and a burger with Brie cheese and fries. Service was good and it didn't take long for our food to come out. Bathroom was clean as were the tables glasses and silverware.

Stopped in here for dinner. This is my 2nd time having there special. It's was amazing! The staff was friendly and tentative. You can tell they use good ingredients, and the portions won't leave you wanting more! I would definitely stop in if you are in the Bradenton area!

Solid food + service. We ordered mushroom pizza on cauliflower crust and burger + fries. All dishes came out quick and were tasty. We'll be back

Decided to try out O'Bricks for lunch with my adult children. We ate outside on a perfect Florida…read morespring day. We asked if there was bread, and they have a complementary bread and pesto that was excellent. We each chose something different so we could try four different meals. The fish tacos were great! Great flavor and huge piece of fresh fish. The green beans are an excellent side choice. The grilled salmon was also excellent. The key lime aioli was sweet, but delicious. The crab cake was not deep fried and crispy, but full of large pieces of crab. The homemade potato chips and fries were great. I did prefer the fries. They also have gluten free buns for the burgers. Service was also excellent.

Salmon + green beans did what they needed to do. They gave me coleslaw too, did I ask for it? no. did I eat it? also no, but that's a personal preference thing. We also got the Mediterranean sampler and that was actually really good. I even tried my mom's martini of the month and I don't even like martinis like that but I would 100% drink that one again. The vibe is kinda in between, you can dress up or show up casual and not feel weird. It's a little loud but in a fun way like good for a date night or girls night. Service was decent, the girl at the bar was nice and clearly doing everything at once, so no complaints there. Drinks aren't insanely strong, but they can be cute depending on what you order. My wine looked like...wine, but my mom's martini had a cute rim. It ended up being around $57 not including tip which honestly felt cheap for everything we got. Only downside is street parking, so be ready to walk a bit if you didn't park right beside it. I'd definitely go back if I'm in the area.

A nice male server came helping the waitress and apologized for the wait and took our drink order. When we received our food my breakfast bowl didn't have any eggs on it they later brought me an egg in a separate bowl then later the second egg, there should have been 2-eggs with the meal. It had coleslaw in the bowl with potatoes which were cold. one of my sisters had the same thing and we both agreed it was terrible. My other sister had the oscar egg something her eggs were like boiled eggs and tasted strange. The only two meals that were good were the breakfast sandwich but the potatoes were cold. I wished I had just ordered from the regular menu maybe the food would have been better. I remembered after we left that the good brunch I had been to was at Mila's the restaurant in front of the Riverhouse. I will go back eventually but never for brunch. There was no ambiance just noise.

This restaurant is located on the end of a dock just north of Bradenton, great location…read more Servers were attentive, food was very good. We went with a large group and had reservations. I believe everyone was pleased with their meals. I'd recommend this place for those wanting a romantic dinner for two or a celebration for a group.

Place is busy. Recommendation is to get reservations. There is some seating inside, but all the…read morereal fun is sitting outside where there's plenty of seating with fantastic views of the Manatee river. If it's too hot, or the sun is beating down upon you, ask for seats in the shaded areas/umbrellas. There's a small beach there , many kids running around, their goofing around while waiting for their meal. There is a bar area. Not huge, but since they open @ 11am.. I'd imagine that area is probably full for most of the rest of the day . So, if you're going to sit there, get there by 11:30am. We had a group of five, so we started off sharing the spicy queso dip and the shrimp and crab dip. Both are excellent, the shrimp and crab dip were to die for! A blackened chicken sandwich was tasty and quite well received. The mahi-mahi fish sandwich was blackened, still tasty but slightly underwhelmed. Should've done the grouper. Others in the group were quite satisfied with their meals. Service was good but the place is spread out and quite busy most of the time we were there, which was mid afternoon on a Saturday. This place is fantastic, and if I had to choose between Woody's River Roo & and Whiskey Joe's- I'd take Whiskey Joe's every time. They also have a better selection of craft beers. This is not meant to assassinate Woody's River Roo . The food and drinks are good there. Their prices are reasonable, Their atmosphere is good there. But pound for pound Whiskey Joe's is better. If you want to nitpick , Joe's is priced higher and their parking area is much smaller. Hence, many people choose to do the valet parking. I guess those could be construed as negatives. Again JOE's just puts out a slightly better experience.

The manager actually said "I don't know what to tell you" when we asked if he thought this was ok? The final straw was the incredibly filthy ladies room. If I were having a wedding or an event here, I would be mortified for my guests. If I had gone there first, I would never ever have eaten there Do better Whiskey Joe - this is a prime location and could be so much better with better management!
