While visiting Edisto Island, we decided we didn't feel like going out to sit down and eat, so we…read moredid a quick search for somewhere nearby to grab a pickup order and landed on Whaley's Restaurant & Bar. Ordering was quick and easy with no issues at all. When we arrived, we waited a short bit at the bar while the food was being prepared, but nothing too bad. Overall, the food was pretty good! The crab bisque was delicious and definitely one of my favorite things we ordered. The crab cake was tasty too, although it was a little more breaded than I personally prefer. The fried stuffed bacon-wrapped shrimp was probably the biggest disappointment of the meal, but not terrible. My friend enjoyed her food she ordered, though I can't remember the exact name of it. Service was decent -- nothing over-the-top amazing, but the staff wasn't rude either, so I'll take it! Overall, I'd give Whaley's about a 3.5 to 4-star experience. I'd probably go back, and if you're in the area looking for a convenient seafood spot near the beach, I'd say give them a shot!

We chose this restaurant due to reviews and proximity. We…read morearrived shortly after their opening at 5p.m. on a Wednesday. The restaurant was somewhat busy, even then. (This is considered the early side of Spring Break.) Adair was our server, and was prompt and friendly! He was all we could have wanted in an efficient server. I was disappointed that the only water they served was bottled. Therefore, Pinot Grigio it was!!!! We received drink orders promptly and Adair asked for our food orders. We were an easy group. Two shrimp baskets with raw fries (which to the unaware are house made chips), a Fried flounder basket with regular fries, and two kids cheeseburgers, with regular fries. The seafood orders also come with slaw and hush puppies. Later, Adair told us they were out of hush puppies. Adair went the extra mile and brought me a bottled water due to HIS perceived wait for our food. The fried shrimp were "gulf size" and perfectly cooked! Breading was light and not overdone! The founder was tender and flaky, the cole slaw was not of the "food processor" variety, and the fries were good, (crinkle cut). This was a very good "family trip" restaurant stop. We generally cook every night, this restaurant needed to provide the "shrimp" cravings of two of us! We will return on future visits!!! This is a place that has been around since 1948. Just know the venue is in an old gas station which suited me!!!! My daddy was a Gulf oil dealer in the 60's-1980's. Enjoy!

Came highly recommended and I must say it was very good. Restaurant is on the second floor of a…read moreboat barn. No elevator, so had to make the hike. Venue had a bar and about 12 tables. We were lucky to get a corner table with two views of the water and dockside boats. Wifey ordered the blackened salmon with green beans and a baked potato. Salmon was prepared perfectly with ample slices. Sides were a little disappointing. Beans were canned and potato was medium in size. Server recommended the stuffed flounder for me. It consisted of a modest slab of flounder topped with crab meat and covered with shrimp scampi sauce. Flavor was good, but price was steep. Came with canned green beans and cole slaw. Beans had a Smokey taste. Would return for another visit. View was excellent and server was very attentive. It was Sunday night with live music on the dock. Beautiful setting for a meal.

The restaurant was not amazing but better than other places in the area. After a couple hours…read moreboating my husband and I stopped by for a small bite to eat and drinks. The upstairs and patio we're both open and since it was a little chilly decided to eat inside. The place was really busy. We were greeted right away and seated near the window. The interior was nothing special and similar to most Coastal bars. I ordered the Edistini which is a very dirty martini. It was a little too dirty for me (heavy on olive juice). I got a cup of the she crab soup which was good but the same time there were cold pieces of crab. Not sure that's how it's supposed to be served but it was good. We ordered the fried shrimp platter dinner. The two of us shared it and I was surprised that it's quite a bit of a large order and the shrimp were a good size. Other places I've gone in the island have been tiny shrimps. Typically, I am known to eat a portion made for two so I was impressed with the size of the shrimp and that meal filled up the two of us. I recommend giving it a try.
