The Square Whale Bar

A great location right on the beach, and located in the basement of the Holiday Inn. We were able to sit outside by the beach and enjoy the great weather. Our server was friendly- but the service was brutally slow and they were out of several items. No idea what was going on that day. But the food we did get was decent. I had the bao buns, which were really Asian style tacos (even served on a taco stand). But the flavor was there, and it was a good bite overall. They have a decent kids menu too, with pizza, sliders and mac and cheese. Its a pretty good place to stop by the beach for a lunch, just wish the service had been faster.

It's 4-stars ONLY due to our amazing Justin, the server. He's my DREAM server, who ate everything on the menu & thus his recommendations are stellar. Plus, he's sooo kind!! All smiles & "no worries!" :) Food- honestly, everything we had was delicious. Bavarian pretzel, club sandwich, & 2 kids meals, grilled cheese & mac & cheese. Bonus- kids meal comes with drink & yummy ice cream. Get the bday cake or oreo! Club sandwich is huge triple-decker on Texas Toast. We shared it. Yummmm. The problem- we weren't planning to order any of that. They were out of EVERYTHING. The only saving grace was Justin & the food was actually very good. But- the kids wanted pizza, but no cheese. Cheeseburger? nope, no meat. Quesadilla? nope again, no proteins to put in it. Tacos? NOPE- missing ingredients. The most ridiculous? My wife wanted a cup for her beer. THEY WERE OUT OF CUPS! omg! Who is doing the ordering? Are you shocked to be busy, at the beach, in July?

The food was good as well as the service. The pulled pork sandwich was very good. The macaroni and cheese wasn't anything special but my kids liked it. My wife had the shrimp tacos which she enjoyed. The service was very friendly and the place was clean.

Lumpia is really spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce. Not authentic lumpiavery disappointing but if you like vegetarian spring rolls it'll work for you ‍

Very nice beach at and grill will ice cream shop. It's in the holiday inn and has a great feel with all the activity going on around. Good drinks at the bar area. Kids liked the milk shakesVariety of sandwiches seafood and pizza (they even have a Califlower pizza)Recommend

First of all my husband and I wanted to sit by the beach and this restaurant happened to be near by on our walk. We wait to be seated and already one of the servers is having an attitude with another server and is coming off unwilling to seat us. She seats us anyways with an annoyance as if we were disturbing her obviously not busy restaurant. We ask her if we could sit at the tables by the water and immediately argues with us and says no and gives us some lame excuse to why we can't sit by the water. End up getting served by another more polite server. The food was questionable, the prices is nice and inexpensive but like they say you get what you paid for. It's very obvious that some of the food is microwave but that's just my opinion. The quality was just not their for the food. The restaurant it self was clean and well kept a and that's the only nice thing I could say about it.

Had lunch here and ordered the bacon cheddar burger and it was cooked perfectly and tasted very good. Also tried the 1 pound steamed shrimp cooked perfectly , will come again.

Got poolside service while on a vacation this week and the food was pretty dang good! Burgers, chicken tenders and fries for the win! 4 stars because I don't recommend the mixed drinks. Expensive and have no alcohol..paid $11 for one drink and it was all juice with about half a shot of Malibu. The other was a $10 pina colada that they already have mixed but they have to add a shot of alcohol leaving it with a water like consistency. Stick to burgers and draft beer!

Very expensive for basically finger foods. Wings and calamari good but average. Wait staff, kitchen staff and music way too loud talking and joking around at a near by table. Hard to have a conversation with your partner. Just ok for a quick bite.

Mediocre at best. Food was underwhelming- ordered peel and eat shrimp and old bay chips. The shrimp were over cooked, under seasoned, and oddly for peel and eat shrimp- already peeled. The chips were under cooked- not very crunchy and just not good. The view of the beach was great. The service was atrocious. Our waitress did not know what was on tap nor the beers they had in cans/bottles. When asked by one of the folks I was eating with if they had any cider, her response of "What's cider?" became a running joke for the evening. It also took well over half an hour to get our check when we were done. If this wasn't a hotel bar/restaurant, it wouldn't survive.
