    Margherita Flatbread
    Diane W.

    Long lapse since our last time. First time outside- beautiful setting on the Manatee River. Had the very attentive and professional Kennell serve us. Went during happy hour ( daily 3-6). My mojito was good, and ordered two appetizers: ahi tuna nachos and balsamic chips--both yummy. Shared some of hubby's margherita flatbread ( not pictured). Will return a lot sooner next time! Will return

    As a family, we recently had dinner up Pier 22 to celebrate my dad's birthday and everything from the service to the ambience to the food was 10 out of 10! I wish I could remember our server's name, but his honesty was appreciated and his energy was exuberant. We ended up sitting outside on the patio and it was such a treat to not only watch the sunset, but all the fun and beautiful boats that passed by the Rockefeller oysters and the lobster cargot are must orders! My husband ordered the stuffed salmon and cleaned his plate while I opted for the grouper piccata. It was my first time trying grouper, and I'm definitely a fan.

    Went alone one Sunday afternoon and was sat by the water with a great view. It took a long time to be waited on and unfortunately the waitress was not friendly or as warm as I expected or have experienced in the area. I ordered off the happy hour menu, had a Paloma and some kind of crab appetizer that had some bits of shell in the middle, nothing was done to rectify this or even an apology given but I didn't make a big deal about it either. I had a cup of clam chowder and it was incredible. Nothing needed to be changed there, the fresh bread that was brought was also a nice touch. Probably wouldn't return just due to the high price and unfriendly/ lack service but everyone may have a different experience.

    I'm a regular at this place and last night we tried a few different things. We sat outside on a Saturday night by the water and it was nice. The only thing that was not enjoyable was the choice of music. The music didn't match the ambiance. Service depends on your waitress or waiter- last night the lady didn't fill up our waters enough but she was still nice. French onion soup- no one cared for it because it had scallions in it Chicken wings- were ok, nothing stood out to us French dip- didn't care for Grouper Picatta was delicious!!! Fried calamari - always good (but sometimes it doesn't come out hot)

    View from our table.

    Food was great and the service was exceptional. Alycia, our server, took the time to explain everything and made wonderful suggestions. It was a great experience.

    Patio area

    We thoroughly enjoyed the food and especially the view on the patio! It was breezy and very relaxing. The food was very tasty and good prices on the happy hour menu. Never had street corn flatbread but it was very good and will def have again. Had wings and deviled eggs with bacon and stuffed jalapeños which were too spicy hot for me but others enjoyed them. Also the grouper bites! All cooked perfectly and tasty! Our waitress was very attentive and personable! We are already planning our next visit!

    The food is delicious. Tables are spaced out nicely. Reservation recommended. The service is slow. But if you are going to spend this much, slow down and enjoy the experience.

    Spanish creamed of course. Fully loaded twice baked potatoes. 1/2 of lobster left. Ate that first so good. 8oz good portion size.

    Service was awesome! Kelly did a great job. We had not been since a funeral reception for a friend 15 years ago. Looks like newly remodeled outside. We ate inside with a view of the Manatee river. I got one of the specials 8oz lobster with hollandaise sauce and Parmesan cheese. I got cream spinach and a half a twice baked potato for my two sides after eating half the lobster I was very full. We did have a bowl of clam chowder with a clam in every bite, it really was one of the best clam chowder around my other half got the other special which was red fish with a lemon butter sauce, which was so good got extra sauce. The views both outside and inside are wonderful and the prices were very reasonable especially for a beautiful location getting there a little early before six. It's happy hour so saved money on cocktails so very affordable will definitely be back for date night. We do date night once a month and pier 22 will definitely be in the rotation.

    We recently dined here and had a mixed experience. The atmosphere is definitely a highlight--beautiful outdoor setting with soft lighting and a relaxing vibe that makes for a lovely evening. The food, however, was hit or miss. The presentation looked promising, but some dishes fell short in execution. The steak was a bit overcooked and lacked flavor, and while the seafood and asparagus had potential, they didn't quite come together as expected. The dish with the sauce was especially disappointing--heavy and overpowering, taking away from the rest of the flavors. Overall, it's a place with great ambiance, but the food quality didn't quite match the setting.

    Chicken penne pasta - $26
    Candice F.

    I came here for the water and the view, which is amazing. I opted for the crab cakes (broiled and served with a Creole remoulade, and extra vegtables - $34) and my colleague ordered the chicken penne pasta ($26). I guess I should have paid attention that the crab cakes were broiled -- I prefer mine pan fried with a crunchy crust on the outside. Broiled made it more like catfood, unfortunately. At least the service, the view and the atmosphere was nice!

    The food was very good and there are a lot of options. They have gluten free rolls also. Service was okay our waiter seemed very stressed and a little grumpy. The vibe was good and it was quiet with not too many people.

    My wife and I were visiting a friend in Bradenton, and we were hungry, so we stopped by here before…read moreheading home, as I had a hankering for some seafood. We parked and walked the deck to the restaurant, we walked in and were greeted by the host, and were asked if we wanted to sit inside or out, we chose out and were led to a table on the deck, which had a beautiful view of the water, and gave us menus. Our server came and brought us water, we ordered something to drink and perused the menu. There was lots to choose from, and even though I wanted fish, I saw the burger and nearly went with that, but I decided to get the Blackened Mahi sandwich instead, I also ordered the Smoked Mahi Fish Dip as an appetizer. The fish dip came, complete with the prerequisite saltines, which I love, and while the dip was okay, it wasn't great. Not very smoky and too tuna-salady. Still, i enjoyed it, and it was a large portion. My wife ordered a burger, and they bought hers as well as my sandwich. They were both on brioche buns, and I was disappointed that the buns were not toasted- that would've made the sandwiches! My Mahi was okay, good flavor and firm flesh, I wish I had ordered black beans & yellow rice, however, as the fries were not very inspiring. We finished and got the bill, I should've asked before ordering, as the Mahi sandwich was listed as "MP," it was a whopping $28.00! While it was good, it wasn't $30 bucks good, but hey, you're paying for the view. This is a nice place inside, and the view of the water are spectacular but it is a bit pricey in my book. However, our server was awesome, as well as the staff, so I would definitely come back here.

    Date of Visit: 05/24/2026…read more It was Sunday over Memorial Day weekend and we decided to make a trip to the Ellenton Mall for the afternoon. For being the holiday weekend the traffic was mild, made it over the Skyway and to the mall in no time. After our walk around we were hungry and walk over to the cheese steak place, which is awesome by the way, but they are closed on this Sunday. Dang. That's when I remembered the place on the river. We had already been to one of them and wanted something new. And Whiskey Joe's was it. Leaving the mall and getting there was easy. And once you turn it's at the end of the road. First time here so we weren't sure of the lay-out. There is inside as well as a tiki-bar area. We made our way to the tiki bar since it was a nice day with a breeze. After sitting we were quickly attended to. However there was only the one guy running the tiki bar so we knew to be patient. After he made a round he came back and had our drinks and taking our food order. Since I had a burger yesterday, you would know this if your following me, I wanted something different. I chose the blacken chicken w/fries and the wife ordered the Caribbean salad. I really don't know how long it took to arrive, we were enjoying the view and nice breeze. Then our food came, presentation was good. I didn't take off for the fries, I'd rather have them not coated, these were like Checkers fries. Some people like them that's why I didn't take points off I still had some. Though I did like the chicken very much, it was so juicy. And Like others have noted, the blackening here is just the seasoning not the actual act of blackening. I'm still waiting to go somewhere where they actually blacken it. Now the wife just loved her salad. It too came with chicken only hers had Caribbean seasoning and juicy as well. We only stayed for lunch and a beverage. It is a great place to stop after the mall. Peace.

Service was friendly, attentive, and surprisingly fast. The seafood was fresh and delicious. The grilled oysters were plump, well-seasoned, and definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The fish tacos were tasty, and the side of fried sweet plantains was delicious. We also tried the ceviche, which was flavorful, but the portion felt a bit small for the amount of chips served alongside it. The gator bites were tough and chewy. May be more palatable if the size of the nuggets were smaller cuts. The margarita tasted good, though the alcohol was barely noticeable. Overall, a very enjoyable first visit with quality seafood, great atmosphere, and excellent service. Just be prepared for slightly pricey portions on some dishes.
