The Beached Whale

I'm from Chicago and have loved every place I have been to down here mostly because of how nice everyone is. I went to the Beached Whale because they are right off the beach and have happy hour specials. The food was good and the prices were cheap. So why 2 stars you ask? The first person you meet is the hostess and that's the person that sets the mood to your visit. If you're a bitch that hates people you probably shouldn't work at a restaurant or be in customer service. So blonde hostess that was rude when you had to do your job to clean our table and seat us, change you're attitude or quit.

Came here as part of a group of 20 people, they were able to accommodate us after being turned down at two other restaurants. After having the fish tacos, I'm grateful we were turned away from those other places because we would have missed out otherwise!

Service was also great, they kept drinks refilled/refreshed, accommodated our need for split checks and our waitress was very friendly (and also a MI native ,woohoo!).

Mixed drinks were a little hit or miss. I was served the smallest long island iced tea I've ever seen for about $8. It tasted good, not too weak/not too strong or sour. My friend ordered some blue drinks and one tasted like pure hairspray while the other one was great. As I said, hit or miss. Probably should stick with beer at a place like this!

All-in-all, people seemed pleased with their food selection from burgers to seafood. I had the beans & rice to accompany the fish tacos and they were well flavored, I high recommend them!

Came here for our last night in FMB. We were seated promptly to a table near a corner. Atmosphere is lively and casual. Everyone was very pleased with the food. I got the blackened grouper entree with rice and beans which was delicious. Others got the seafood combo which I'm told was very good as well. For the price it would have been nice to have two sides, but as always you pay a premium to eat on FMB. We sat inside, but the outside upper deck is where you want to be if it's warm enough.
