My first time at Whiteys and it was extremely enjoyable! I started with the fried alligator bites. They were very good and some of the best I have had in a while. For dinner, I was having trouble deciding on just one thing so I went with fried shrimp and blackened mahi. The dinner entrees come with a good amount of side options and I ended up choosing sweet potato fries (soooo good) and the green beans. The sides were some of my favorite parts of the meal, they were deliciously seasoned. My husband got a medium rare steak and he said it basically melts in your mouth. He said it was one of the best steaks he's had. Since we came for dinner, we did see a bit of a dinner rush and larger parties seated near us but we had no issue with the speed and accuracy of service. Our server was attentive and provided good service. The restaurant is well kept, clean, and decorated nicely. I did enjoy that it's right near the water and has a nice view of the lake. I will definitely be back! read more

First and foremost our party was provided with phenomenal customer service from Kelly. She gave us great suggestions that we used in our choices. When our food arrived it was piping hot and fresh. Everything had great flavor, all the way down to the crispy on the outside but soft on the inside hush puppies. We sat on the outside and even though it was kinda cool for the day, the temp was perfectly stable for the patio. There is also a great sized tiki bar right on the dock. You can definitely host a larger party or just a quaint family dinner. If you have littles, noise level is not an issue as it gets pretty lively. On this particular evening we are enjoying the Christmas boat parade being hosted from the dock. So this has been an exciting visit. They have a gravel parking lot but handicapped parking is paved. Enjoy!!! read more

Haven't been to Whitey's in a very long time, so when a friend suggested we eat there I was game. We opted to sit out on the deck area, which is huge. You can watch the boats come in and out and enjoy the view of the river. Just be aware that smoking is allowed out there. I ordered a fish sandwich and my table mate ordered fried gator tail. Both were tasty but I believe could have been left in the fryer just one extra minute to get that golden color and a more crispy texture. Fish was not seasoned, but with some tartar sauce it was good. Bun was not toasted, which I prefer, and would know to ask next time. Service was a little off and on. We had to wait quite a bit to get her attention to bring us additional drinks from the bar, but she was friendly and helpful with menu questions. read more

Very nice Sunday funday. After Waffle House breakfast and waffle cone treat we laughed and said maybe they had shrimp and waffles at Whitey's. We never gave it another thought between the apps (calamari and free hush puppies courtesy of Yelp) and 15 tastes of chili and a virgin Bloody Mary we were stuffed!! The waitress was so sweet to bring Jethro some water that he enjoyed after a couple hush puppies and calamari. The live music was great. People were dancing and laughing. Just a great laid back Sunday! read more

A fun and wild go-to place for me when I'm in town - the fish tacos are amazingly well made as are the hush puppies. If you want down home southern cooking made family recipe style this is the place for you! I'd suggest any ole twisted ice tea by the water would be a great way to spend the afternoon as the boats on the docks here are full of new good people and friends yet to be met! read more

Date night on vacation. We ordered the car gator tail for an appetizer and for dinner I ordered the stuffed flounder, added a garden salad with cheese. Husband order the Boathouse for one. I also ordered a Kona Big Wave and was a different beer. My salad came out very fast. Then dinner came about 30 mins after. Food was excellent. We never received our gator tale so we asked to take it off the tab. I loved the feel of the place. We sat outside and it was still pretty sticky out with 88° even at 7:30pm. There was a storm rolling in and we left just in time. The waitress was really sweet but lacked accuracy. She did write our order down and it was still wrong. It's ok though - everyone has off days and she was not rude and neither were we. Would definitely go back again. read more

Overall, this was a decent experience. The food was great the atmosphere equally as inviting. The only needs improvement was the service. The entrées were brought out with no condiments and when I say condiments, I mean, not even salt and pepper. I asked for a bloody Mary and was told they didn't have those overall the food was good but that's about it read more

This place was really cute! Great ambiance, it was clean, and lots of food choices on the menu. Something for everyone. The overall quality of the food wasn't great, but it was pretty good. Our table had fish tacos, a giant salad, cheesy grits, mahi bites, and clam chowder. Overall, four stars for the food and restaurant. The reason for two stars is because due to religious reasons, we do not eat bacon. Before we ordered, I asked the server if the clam chowder had any bacon in it and she said no. Well guess what. About five spoonfuls in, we discovered it did have bacon. We were very polite to the server and showed her the bacon in the chowder and she said "yes I guess it has a little bit of bacon". After an awkward silence she offered to remove the chowder from the table and take the chowder off the bill. We didn't make a big issue of it but this was not cool. If anyone has a special dietary restriction, I don't recommend Whitey's. They can't be trusted. read more

We went there for lunch with family that came into town. My wife and I shared the fried shrimp dinner with sweet potato fries and coleslaw. All of it was very tasty! Service was great and friendly.

We tried this place for the first time while family was in town. We sat outside, it was a little hot in July but the fans were going. All of the food we had was amazing, and I'm hooked on their tuna bowl and find myself craving it. It was really well done and tasty. The tacos we got were also outstanding! We tried a few of their alcoholic drinks listed in the menu and they were all great. The inside is kind of strange, especially the dead opossum hanging on the wall, not very appetizing in my opinion. But they were in the foyer anyway. We'll definitely be back and we'll be bringing more friends. read more

Seeing that I live only 1/4 mile away, we are frequent customers at Whitey's. My favorite meal is their Fish n Chips dinner which I ordered tonight. What I got tonight had no resemblance to any Fish n Chips I had ever had from there. If you look at these pictures, the one on the black plate was tonight and the one on the wood counter top is what I expected. Tonight the fish were small, the size of chicken fingers, with breading I had never seen from Whitey's. I even mentioned it when I looked at it and was basically ignored. Should have sent it back... read more

"I'm obsessed." - me walking into Whiteys. Situated right on the river, this place is about as scenic as it gets. Indoor and outdoor seating, a covered patio, tropical tiki vibes all around. Walking in feels like you're on vacation. Servers were super friendly. We sat on the outdoor patio near the boat docks. Live music playing, we were basking in the ambiance when..... a spider dropped down, spinning its web. Okay, unnerving for sure. Then, we looked up... and see, I can't even tell you how many spiders, variously situated through the rafters and the awnings, including two directly over our table. We decided to ride it out and hope they stayed put, as we were truly enjoying ourselves. Our drinks arrived - a margarita and an espresso martini. They were delicious... but very small. We ordered another round. We ordered the fried catfish with mac & cheese and rice & beans; and the stuffed flounder with rice; both came with hushpuppies. All of it was delicious.... but small! We finished our meal, cleaning both plates, and received our check. $90!! I honestly don't mind paying for good food, but considering the portion sizes, to pay $90 and leave a restaurant still hungry.... I'm not sure I can justify coming back for a full meal. I'll definitely be back to check out happy hour, because the ambiance is undeniable. But minus a star for all the spiders and minus a star for the small plates. read more

Caitlyn was amazing! Today we came in with a very huge (about 50 people) party. We had all just had attended a funeral and only had 2 hours before having to make it to the burial site. She and her other coworkers managed to feed all 50 in a very short amount of time. What amazed me more is her attitude, it could have shown on her face how overwhelmed she was but she didn't let it. She kept being pleasant the entire time, and I commend her for that and her excellent customer service and professionalism. The food was also delicious as always! read more

Great hangout on the water! Perfect for hanging outside. Live music. Watching boats on the water. Kids running around. Lively atmosphere

Always a good time! Great buffalo shrimp great fish sandwich. The kid even loves their fried shrimp. Will always go back!

I have been to Whiteys over the years and seen it grow to what it is now, a destination! I usually get fried shrimp; I did today and it was tough, they over cooked it. Should I have sent it back...probable, but it took me awhile to figure out what was wrong with it! Soooooo...I just continued to eat it thinking..."I've had fried shrimp better, everywhere!" Service was great, we sat outside (though humid) we liked the plexiglass between the tables on the water side and we even had a alligator swim up for a look. read more

Whiteys Fish Camp - Maybe why you eat here...on Black Creek. - Seafood Near Me - Fleming Island, Florida

This is a cute spot in the water. I showed up to meet my cousin here and there just happened to be one outdoor spot left to eat at. When in Florida I usually eat more seafood since I'm closer to the source. While I waited, the server took my drink order. The server was killing it waiting on the entire outside area by herself. I think they only had two servers in the entire place. I get that it's hard to find help! I got the free hushpuppies since there was a way to redeem an offer for them on Yelp. I also ordered fried gator because "when in Rome". The food came out at a good time. The food runner forgot the sauce and left to get it but never returned. I tracked down the server and got the sauce. I enjoyed the salad also. Simple Caesar but the lettuce was much needed for a fried meal. All was delicious. I wish people couldn't smoke out there on the deck. A couple was chain smoking the entire time we were there and it was constantly in our space. read more

Our family was passing through while on vacation and decided to swing in for lunch on our way home. We were told to sit anywhere, so we chose a nice water front booth. We were there for around 10-15 minutes without anyone coming to seeing us, but we notice a couple sitting behind us, who showed up well after us, who had already gotten their drinks. After asking the bar staff if we could get any service, a very polite and apologetic waitress showed up to serve us. We asked about a few dishes that we seen online and we were told that they are no longer available. All the food we did order was deep fried, with a lot of the oil still in it. Even the one plate that wasn't deep fried, had a decent layer of grease on the top of it. The worst part of our visit was when we were using the restrooms on our way out and we had to go INSIDE the restaurant. Everything wreaked of cigarette smoke! It was absolutely disgusting. This seems like a "good ol' boys hang out"... complete with confederate flag decor on the walls. It's unfortunate the location is amazing and it has a ton of potential. read more

This is a really cool restaurant with a great location and view on the water. As great as that is, the food fell way short. I had the famous Whitey's Fish sandwich and it was the worst fish sandwich I have ever eaten. It came with two fish strips served on a semi-stale bun with a piece of lettuce and a tomato the size of a pickle. Who wants a fish sandwich where the fish are two measly strips? Not to mention, this battered fish didn't even taste good. I ordered a side of beans and rice, and although it arrive five minutes after my sandwich, it was really good, but was a very small side portion. Five stars for the location and view, four stars for the restaurant's ambience, but only two stars for both the food quality and service. read more

My granddaughter and I came on a Sunday afternoon and the weather was fantastic. We were sat promptly and then... Waited and Waited... and waited. 15 min later we were approached by a waitress that told us our waiter would be here soon. 5 min later she came back and asked if he'd made it to us yet. No he hasn't. She took our drink order and left. A good 10 min later she came back asking if our waiter came back. Still NO! She then took our order. The food was great and we weren't in a hurry, but this was ridiculous. Our food came promptly and was prepared fantastic. So the woman waited on us the entire time. Never saw the waiter. So on the way out we warned some incoming guests to be patient with the service read more

Hello fellow yelpers, hope your Christmas was amazing, having said that, I wish I could say the same for my family lunch at whiteys fish camp today...... I go get my son from NC once a year , my precious son has a disability, we love to give him great experiences, so we took him on the boat to go to Whiteys , now, I'm a very casual person so it was great to go to a place where we can relax , well ,,,, yall,,,, it seemed our server was much more relaxed then we were, she barely spoke didn't bring to use things we asked for, i.e. extra sauces, literally it's all we asked for and we couldn't even get that, she took my son's glass when it got empty and didn't refill, just took it, our bill was right at 130.00 that was including a 14.00 dollar drink that we swear had 0 liquor in it, now we gave her a tip, we're not assholes but really she didn't deserve the 20 in cash we left her, just know , stay away from the waitress that are the younger generation, 0 personality took pretty long to get waited , ordered, served, billed, what a sad lunch, it's ok whitey's you keep that 130 bucks, we won't do it again. read more

Good food but not great. Environment is nice but everything is overpriced for the quality.

Very lively, specially the patio with water view. (Wish we had a seat out there). Parking, let's just say drive your small vehicle. Food was pretty good, especially the gator. The family enjoyed the food but with some small flaws. Example: corn meal on the Catfish was too gritty and mac&cheese is stove top not baked enough. Happy about our overall service at all thanks to Alex, and it was our first experience there. read more

We actually stayed in the campground and ate at the restaurant a few times. Food was ok. Great atmosphere. Dog friendly.

Great food. I am a fish and chips connoisseur, and so far, theirs have been the best. Love the atmosphere and the outdoor seating!

Good food (gator tail with cajun ranch ALWAYS). Warm beer. Sticky tables and menus. I've always been told the stickiness is just something you have to accept, but I still find it truly disgusting. read more

Historic fish camp turned bustling, behemoth waterfront bar & grill. Cool tropical vibe. Expansive space inside and out. Decent service. Good drinks. Not very strong or very big, but cold & wet. Live music inside and out. Several guitars on display paying homage to local southern rock. Very busy on a summer Saturday night. Parking was hard to come by, but we found a table quickly in the rear bar area overlooking the river at sunset and got waited in a timely manner. Took advantage of the free hush puppies with Yelp check-in. They were great! The fish dip was tasty, too. For entrees we had the shrimp tacos, fish & chips and shrimp & grits. All good! Not the best food you've ever had, but plenty good enough to match the cool fish camp vibe. You won't leave hungry! read more
