The Whale's Rib

We were away on vacation and our cousin recommended this restaurant. It was awesome. Food was terrific and service was excellent. Our server Gale and the manager made sure that we had a wonderful dining experience. Everything in the photos tasted great. I especially enjoyed the broiled grouper.

What a fun, yummy place to eat! There's enough on the walls to keep you entertained until your food gets there. I had the shrimp scampi pasta and I'm telling you it was beyond delicious. My husband had mahi mahi and the portions were generous, it was seasoned well and every bite we got was eaten. The salads that came with our meals were fresh and our wait staff was attentive and personable. We'll definitely return any time we're in Brookside. The location is great, just a block off the pier.

Have always loved this place and will always love this place. Quick & casual seating, GIANT menu, some of the best made-in-house potato chips ever. Raw seafood is always fresh tasting and served well. Will always stop by when in town!

This place is amazing. 2 must are Fried rock shrimp and the key West Sandwich. Either with minor grouper. The rock shrimp was amazing taste like baby lobster tails but peeling the hard shell is a bit of a pain but worth the work. The Key west mahi sandwich is still by far the best Fish sandwich I have ever had , and I've had them all up and down the Florida keys. The bun is a little sweet but the Swiss cheese, coleslaw and the thousand Island dressing make this sandwich Devine. The restault gives you old school dive bar vibes but make sure you use the valet service because the parking on street is pricey.

Love this place! If I ever come back to this area I will eat here again. I had stone crab legs, which were very reasonable and fresh! The first and chips was also delicious - I loved the grouper ones, so tender! Service by Ashley was great, and Tasha at the front made us feel so welcome and even talked to us after our meal!
