We got to the host stand, and the woman was incredibly kind and helpful. Our server Griffin was super attentive and fun, he gave a ton of recommendations and we ordered almost everything he mentioned. Trust me this place did not disappoint! They have made grouper my new favorite fish and the portions were so much bigger than I expected! My only regret is that we didn't order the fried shrimp like Griffin suggested because I saw it come out and I had to pick my Jaw up off the floor. Truly the best experiences I've had since I got to Florida. This place should be on the Michelin guide. The owners should be proud of their employees, hospitality and food! OH AND ALSO, beautiful view!! Definitely sit outside! They had fans outside too so even though it was hot out we felt nice and cool!

The baked beans may honestly be the best I've ever had--big chunks of bacon and all sorts of goodness packed into them. Seriously, don't overlook the beans! The grouper bites are a must-order--crispy, fresh and delicious. The mahi tacos were equally impressive, with fresh fish, great flavor and generous portions. Great seafood, cold drinks, beautiful waterfront setting and the kind of place you could hang out at all afternoon. One piece of advice: there's only one men's room and one women's room, so maybe don't drink too much. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to.

Tuckered into an old gas station building, is a fun little place called Whitney's. They have indoor and outdoor seating and are dog friendly. Their flavored margaritas - cucumber, Jalapeno, classic are amazing, and super fresh tasting! Typically I order a pitcher of margaritas and go through the restaurant to the other side where the garage door opens and they have a cornhole area with Adirondack chairs, so you can relax while playing. Wander inside or outside to your table and grab some delicious food. My favorites are the grouper bites, grouper sandwich, the BEST Caesar salad (seriously I dream about this one), and the burgers. The service is always top notch here too - another added bonus. They occasionally have live music on the patio which is a fun vibe. If you are on LBK and wondering where to dine, check this place out. Very relaxed atmosphere, so dress casual grab a margarita, play a game of cornhole, then go grab some delicious food. I'm a big fan and think you will be too! Till next year Whitney's, that time can't come soon enough! Cheers & Enjoy!

The house-made chips and dipping sauce were a great addition. I also loved reading the story behind the restaurant.

Highly recommend the Cuban!

They have a few picnic tables out front and more seating inside. We got a parking spot no problem and went inside. It is an order at the counter place with a dark wood feel. This is not your typical BBQ place, their website describes their restaurant as fast casual + BBQ fusion. Many traditional BBQ items such as ribs and baked beans are not on the menu, yet they offer other items like a Cuban sandwich. I went BBQish and ordered their Double Brisket Burger, and Canadian with a large order of Poutine. I recommend checking out the menu before you go the first time just to make sure you see something you want. My brisket burger was very tender and easy to eat. I liked it even though the caramelized onion added a burnt taste. It was a lot of food. The flavor of the poutine was subtle, and was a lot of fries. High marks on their Cuban sandwich from my dinner companion. I liked the place, liked the people, liked the other customers who we chatted with. We are local but seldom make it out to the beach so nice vacation vibes rubbed off on us as well. We left full and happy.

This was my first Capriotti visit and this is one of their most popular sandwiches, even voted by someone as America's greatest sandwich. It was a dense and very good sandwich, like a Thanksgiving leftover meal. In fact, it was created as a Thanksgiving leftover meal by Aunt Bobbie, and featured in the first Capriotti restaurant in Wilmington, DE. This looks like a solid sandwich shop with subs, cheesesteaks, and salads. They have about a half dozen tables lined up inside, and more shared seating outside. The staff was helpful as we worked on what we should order. I liked the place, bright and clean, music, and one TV. They offer fries, including loaded fries called CAPastrami Fries. They sounded so good and I regret my decision not to try them, a good reason for a return visit.

In the Florida heat I feel like water should always be available.
