Price: Expensive•Contemporary American•4.7(1,358)We’re so excited to bring Whalers to Bay Shore and share our love of amazing food and great drinks with the community.

We will do our best to accommodate your requests, but we cannot guarantee where you will be seated. Additionally, reservations are unavailable for dockside dining, as outdoor tables are first come first serve.
Whalers is modern and fresh with a nod to what it’s like growing up on the Great South Bay. Located right in the middle of the action down on Maple Ave, we are looking forward to getting customers who live locally, but also those who are heading over to Fire Island.
We look forward to serving you!
