This place is awesome! Very friendly staff. We ate at the bar and was very well taken care of by both bartenders. They were awesome. We had a great time while enjoying some delicious fresh seafood. We had 2 apps, gator bites and crab bombs...OMG they were so so good. My seafood Fettuccine was delicious! Fresh is the keyword for this restaurant. We'll definitely will make this a regular place to eat.

This place is so fantastic. The seafood platters are out of this world. The local Davison area is lucky to have this restaurant. They have a separate take out section, which is a drive up that does not take away from the in person dining experience. I had the salmon and I have it at many restaurants, it was light and flaky and full of flavor.

Went to Whitey's Restaurant in Davison, Michigan. I have always been told that this is the best seafood in Michigan, and we have been trying to get out there for awhile now.
The large parking lot was almost at capacity, as we pulled up. We were afraid that we should've called ahead for seating. We raced a family of about 12 to the door, but respect for humankind stepped in, and I held the door for them. After they stepped around to wait for the rest of their party, my fiancé was waving me to follow the hostess to our table. We didn't wait 30 seconds!!!
We were walked past the salad bar, and I couldn't help but notice it's long. This is deceiving, tho. It's actually 2 of the same setups, side by side. Salad toppings, chocolate pudding, potato and pasta salads and the creamiest coleslaw all sat there, just calling my name. We were seated in the Captains Table section, drink orders taken and given some fresh baked bread, within 3 minutes of walking in the door.
The appetizers didn't take long to be brought out. Oysters on the half shell were slurped down, with some cocktail sauce and horseradish. My fiancé couldn't pass up the Gator Bites. Dipped in their honey mustard, they had me realizing I could eat plate after plate of these during a football game. I am a lover of crab cakes, so we decided to try the Crab Bombs, too. So happy we did. Snow crab and blue crab, mixed in some seasonings and rolled in breading. The most simple of ingredients, yet the most flavorful thing I've ever put in my gullet.
She had the Seafood Fettuccine, and the scallops melted in your mouth. Myself and my soon to be father in law had the Great Lakes Catch, a selection of fried Bluegill, Lake Perch and Walleye, and a side. I chose hashbrowns with cheese(I usually save this side for WaffleHouse, but they had the option, so I was elated).
Whitey's has always been touted as Michigan's best seafood restaurant. I have only sampled this much stuff, but every item we ordered was the best I've ever had. I can't wait to return, and try more. All in all, I'd give this place a 9.3 in seafood places.

On our way back from up north, we decided to stop and have lunch at Whitey's on M15 in Davison. Have never been there, but heard the food was very good and the decor was interesting. And at one time it was a dairy farm with the blueprints on the wall.
We were greeted immediately as we entered and were seated directly . The decor was very interesting from figureheads from the ships bow and a steering wheel from a ship to etched scenes on glass to stools that had actual legs for legs.😂
Our server Ashley was outstanding! She did not rush us to order and she said several times "take your time". My wife asked her if there is something she might suggest and she replied "Great Lakes Catch" which came with soup and salad bar.
If you enjoy fish the "Great Lakes Catch" is the one to get. A combination of fresh water favorites: tender yellow lake perch fillets, sweet bluegill fillets, and Canadian walleye, lightly pan-fried.
My wife got the Great Lakes Catch🐟which came with soup and salad bar and a side which she picked the Sweet Potato Casserole and I got soup 🍲 and 🥗 salad bar. The meal also came with a freshly baked loaf of bread.
I must say that the New England Clam Chowder 😋 was one of the best I have had. Very creamy with potatoes, corn, onion, bacon and of course clams.
The salad bar was loaded with a variety of items from pasta to a full assortment of veggies and condiments.
There was so much fish, my wife was able to share a small piece of each fish, plus some of the Sweet Potato Casserole.
Again, Ashley was so accommodating and helpful, which we really appreciated.
Whitey's is definitely a come back again for us and will hopefully have Ashley as our server.
