We were there when it wasn't so busy, so were able to sit at a booth on the deck that had a decent view of the Gulf. I advise going when it isn't that busy so you can enjoy the view of the Gulf as well. We had wings which were way too greasy but at five bucks for a... More

This was the first place we ate at when we arrived in Ft. Myers. The food was good and they gave you a large plate of food. We sat upstairs on the outside deck and enjoyed the view. The table also had an umbrella to provide shade from the sun. Enjoyed it very much!

We found the Beached Whale to be a great place to eat. Sat up on the upper floor overlooking the street we could watch the world go by as well as eat some really great food. The service was good and whatever food we ordered on our visits it was first class. I would certainly recommend a visit (or two)... More

Read the reviews, sounded good so we tried it. Burger, grouper sandwich, hot wings, 2 sodas and $42 later we were charged for soda refills. I do not remember being charged for a refill of my soda in a long time. The burger was good as we're the wings, but had to put lemon on the Grouper to get past... More

Dont miss it- the best roof top patio in Fort Myers beach!! The view is lovely, staff is fast and efficient, knowledgable and fun!! Beer and cocktails for 1$, half priced mussels during Happy Hour and simply incredible. We didnt miss a single day!! This is "the" place to hit while in the area, dont miss the Beached Whale!!

Atmosphere was cool and roof top seating available. Across from the beach so i don't know if the roof top allows you to view the gulf. My husband order the stuffed shrimp and I got chicken and both were very good. I'm typically a "when in Florida go to gulf view restaurants only" kind of person but I'm glad we... More

My fiance and I ate here our first night in Ft. Myers and came back our second night for drinks. The price was right and the food was great. We ate indoors as the outside seatting was pretty full. After eating at a more expensive resturant a few nights later we both agreed we should have gone back to the... More

OMG the wings are the best on the beach. Do try the garlic ones for sure. Happy hour specials were incredible, clean and courteous place to spend a couple of hours.
