50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Indian Shores

“Tha clam chowder was perfect….hot till the last bite…..loaded with clams and potatoes. Thick and creamy and reasonable price. The fried clams were the tastiest ever. Perfectly fried, tender, flavorful, and a hearty portion and reasonable price.“

“As first time visitors to "Aloha To Go", we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food! A couple of us had the Hawaiian pork platters and ate every bite. Especially loved the macaroni salad. It wasn't anything unique but damn good! The meal took us right back to our memories of visiting Hawaii! If we're ever back in the area, this is a must stop!If I can offer any suggestion, the atmosphere needs some work. All the tables outside were incredibly wobbly and dirty. Inside (at this visit - maybe not always) was an overwhelming burning/cooking smell.“

“We attended the Princess breakfast and had such a great time. This was the perfect event for families. The space was decorated so cute, service was good, and the event itself was amazing. It was also very well run. Princess Ariel came to our table to, was so personable, and then after breakfast she did a story time and song. My little one had the best time and we cannot wait to go to next month’s event. Thank you for making this happen!“

“Samson is a wonderful server! He interacted with us the entire time and was very kind. All four meals (Tuna poke bowl, Mile high meat loaf, Parmesan crusted mahi mahi, and Chicken Alfredo) and drinks we got were fantastic. Will 100% come eat here every time we come back to Indian rocks!“

“Tanya was awesome! Pleasant, friendly, genuine and team player“

We had (a party of 4) the shrimp ceviche, the lamb, the saltado, the lobster Mac n cheese, and the mole. All wonderful. We split the key limbs brûlée & the chocolate tres leches. Also very very good.“

“We have been going to Clear Sky Cafe for four years and it gets better every year. Always a great experience. Wonderful food and friendly service.“

“I’m leaving this review almost 5-6 months later, but I promised I would, so here we are! I remembered the words “Eddy” “bartender” and “crab”, and was able to find this place on TripAdvisor. Or rather, Eddy.All these months later, Eddy (our bartender) has still left an impression on me. Nowadays, it’s hard to find exceptional customer service - add to that we came to The Salty Crab on a night when it was pouring rain. Between food & drink recommendations, and a good laugh, I couldn’t recommend this place enough. Generous portions and nothing misses. Drinks were .Thanks again Eddy for the exceptional service, I wish you all the best in everything you do.“

“The managers both Carlie and Justin were both very accommodating when I called to make a reservation for 20 to celebrate a birthday at the restaurant. Our server Devon did an outstanding job and was absolutely fine regarding our request for multiple checks. The food was simply delicious and the prices were reasonable. They allowed me to bring in a birthday cake and they served it for no extra charge. We were all extremely happy with the service provided and will definitely return!!“

“Great food & service. We had our pre-wedding welcome party for all guest for a destination wedding, and everyone loved the food, drinks and service. Only 10 minutes from St. Pete's beach, they have parking too! Thank you all for a great experience.“

“2pm on a Sunday in April and we were seated immediately with fantastic waterside seating. Didn't catch our server's name, but she was knowledgeable, friendly and had great timing. For food, we ordered: boom boom shrimp, a crab cake, street corn, the red gulf grouper with cheese grits & the Atlantic grouper with beans and rice. For drinks: Peach Sangria and Blue Lightning. Every single bite and sip was heaven. Fish was fresh, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Definitely come back here again and definitely would recommend.“

“This place was well worth the drive across the bridge. It's a casual place with an elevated food and drink menu. Our service was great from the bartenders to the waitstaff- you can tell their passion about the food and cocktails/ namely the oysters which were super fresh. Austin, my new favorite bartender, recommended the Old Salt cocktail which is a spicy margarita that was delicious and huge! My friend and I shared the Angel Eggs which were also good- each had a different topping. I also got 2 of each raw oyster they had- the house oysters may have been my favorite. I got the Lobster Roll while my friend got the Crabcake Sandwich with the potato casserole as our side. We were very pleased with both! The portions were very generous! I can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu!“

“This was my first visit..they only had outdoor seating and it was packed but we ended up at a nice table overlooking the water! The server was quick and very friendly. I had the best salmon salad I think I've ever had! And my friend had very nice shrimp tacos. Will be back!Dietary restrictions: Gluten-free options are great!?“

“We had another great meal at Snapper's tonight. We loved the salad dressing, hummus, grouper, and chocolate dessert. Our waitress was helpful and attentive. Unfortunately, the hostess seemed a bit clueless and other servers were not at all friendly.“

“Grouper sandwich is off the charts!! Key lime pie is as good as it gets!! Great place. Fun. Cannot recommend highly enough.“

“Ate there today and food was fantastic! I had fish Ruben Grilled and I was amazed at how much flavor was in that sandwich.. Going back again for sure. Ask for code for parking lot so u can get more then 30 minutes“

“Really enjoyed this place! We had a recomendation from a local and it didn’t disappoint food was great and atmosphere was good. Our server was Chase. He was super polite and helpful. We asked for some recommendations and he delivered. Very attentive as well. Ask for him as your server ◡̈ good place.“

“Shrimpys is my favorite stop every year. Great atmosphere, live music, great drink selection and of course, great food. There were 7 of us, and we all loved our meals. The special that day was a shrimp rice dish served with fried green tomatoes. Soooo good! See you May 2025....“

“Great place to sit and watch the harbour, boats coming and going, people walking through. Food is great, fish tacos are excellent. Staff are very friendly and attentive. One of our favourites when we come to Clearwater.“

“I recommend EVERYTHING, there appatizers and cocktails were amazing, which we 2 nights ago, and last night I had to try there steaks, and again I was blown away. I had the CAB BONE IN TENDERLOIN, Oscar style. WOW!! Steak was done perfect, and taste amazing.. They have the most polite staff on the beach, our bartender (gabriella) was amazing, and if my wife would let me I would eat there every night of our vacation!!!“

“I had the pasta primavera and it was so good! We also had spaghetti and meatballs, chicken parm, lasagna, and ziti. Everyone loved their food. Service was great as well. Definitely an authentic feel - this is not just a chain Italian restaurant, and you'll get that authentic vibe as soon as you walk in. Excellent!“

“Best place to eat Puertorican food 10 out of 10“

“Relatives were visiting from out of town and they asked to take us to lunch. They asked for a local family owned restaurant. I chose Lemon Leaf Cafe based on the great reviews. We were a party of 9. I called ahead to make a reservation. I spoke to Lisa who also was our server for the lunch. The food was fantastic & the portions were plentiful. The food was very fresh & very tasty. All 9 of us were extremely pleased! Thank you Lemon Leaf & Lisa! We will be back!“

“Crabby‘s Hideaway was a pleasant surprise. We found this spot on Google and decided to give it a try instead of the restaurants in the first row. What can we say? We didn’t regret our choice. Crabby‘s Hideaway offered us great food and exceptional service. Many thanks to Brian who served us very well and was spot-on with his beer recommendations! Greetings from Germany ????“

“Love it!! Convenient, fresh and delicious poke bowls. Clean easy beach atmosphere.“

“I’ve lived here 12 years this is the biggest Florida vibes I’ve found. Hidden in the back of cove cay community is a little slice of paradise that FL is known for. Tiki bar style with great food, good looking bartenders, and a beautiful view of the marina. If you’re looking for an authentic FL experience this is it.“

“The softest donuts and so delicious, they melt in your mouth! so thankful to have a place that offers Gluten free cake donuts as well as regular donuts for both my husband and I to enjoy! make sure to ask which ones are gluten free, because they aren't marked. I have Celiac's and enjoy these donuts a LOT. Highly recommend this place! Really good customer service.“

“The service WAS amazing ! The staff that works here are fun & went the extra mile make sure I was taken care of . I like to mention Shelby , Micheal , Vega , Courtney & Lindsey B specifically.. they made my trip even better with the service & smiles they provided . I can’t wait to come back !“

“▪︎ I appreciate my waitress showing me how to work with my first set of crab legs!▪︎ Crab Legs were delicious, though not an easy meal to eat.▪︎ Coconut rice was yummy, but the caeser salad could use some work.▪︎ Strawberry Mango Daiquiri drink was good.▪︎ Boom Boom Shrimp were mediocre. Shrimp was the smallest I've seen, but the breading was fine.Overall - 4.5/5Atmosphere - 4.7/5Service - 4.8/5Food - 4.2/5“

“Drinks, apps, and entrees all amazing. Great atmosphere. Live music. Great vibe for young and old!“

“Had an amazing experience last night at Gulf Bistro. Everyone there was friendly and welcoming. The service was prompt but not rushed. And of course, the food…it was beyond delicious! Everything from the tender greens of the salad, to the creamy lobster bisque,to the melt in your mouth tender veal, to the delectable dessert was beyond expectations!“

“Best food, people and atmosphere in IRB!“

“Outdoor seating in open or under large tiki Pavillion along a waterway and marina. Servers are friendly and helpful. Mahi tacos are the best I have had outside the keys. Limited menu so everything is made wit care.Parking: Many people ride bikes or walk. Parking is limited but we have never had a problem. Worst case there is parking along the road outside the gate a short walk away.Kid-friendliness: Nice view of water and wild life. All the kids I have seen seem to enjoy the food and relaxed lunch time atmoshete.Wheelchair accessibility: At lunch would be the best time to scope out low table seating and get a feel for maneuvering. Small friendly and yummy spot.“

“The food, service, and atmosphere was excellent. Very relaxing dinner.“

“Best Restaurant in St. Pete beach for sure. No questions asked. Food was very good, but the service was Top notch. We had a 1 y/o with us which can sometimes turn into a nightmare for us and the rest of the restaurant. Staff went above and beyond with making sure we had what ever we needed for her. Do not skip this place.Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly staff for sure! Thank you Shells Seafood!“

“Good Food, but Rushed We were the first customers of the day—early for us. I think the servers meant well, but everything was rushed. I felt like I was in a fast casual restaurant rather than a place where I would spend $125 for the two of us. Slow it down a bit and let us digest for a minute before dropping the next course. The food was good. We started with the recommended Bruschetta. It isn’t typical. Instead, the topping is in an accompanying bowl. The topping was delicious—how can you go wrong with tomatoes, basil and garlic in balsamic vinegar? We then shared a bowl of their special tomato bisque and it was delicious. We also shared a Caesar salad which my wife thought was too garlicy (I’m not sure that’s possible), so I ate her share. The server had asked me if I did or didn’t want anchovies on my salad so I said sure, but on the side. I had no idea that I’d be charged an extra $2.50, especially since it didn’t say that on the menu. Shame, shame. For mains I had the Pasta Pescatore which was good, but a little oily. My wife had the Chicken Piccata which she enjoyed. We accompanied those with some wines by the glass from their decent collection and they were fairly priced. I might go back, but I’d be clear with the server about not being rushed.“

“Excellent owners , staff and food ! Always exceptional quality“

“Delicious food and great entertainment“

“Fun place with great live music. We had an issue with the front host being incredibly rude and wanting to split our party of 8 and said we could not split a bill if we sat all together. The GM resolved it quickly and kindly. Servers were friendly. We only had drinks here“

“Lauren was a great server. Very friendly and helpful. Food was great!“

“Im a frequent visitor of the "left coast" beaches. This trip brought me to Clearwater for an afternoon Phils game at BayCare Ball Park....Stopped in Philly Joes before the game. Had a great initial feeling when we walked in when some local firefighters were enjoying their lunch. Always a good sign...Split a cheese steak fried onions and order Fries with the wifey. Had the steak with Joes homemade velvety smooth cheese sauce which was delicious. Also was provided with couple side cups filled with the cheese sauce to dip our fries. Steak was delicious and roll was OK. I'm spoiled living here in the Philly area as far as rolls go. Food was prepared and served by Joe himself who was behind the line. Place was incredibly clean which Joe took an incredible amount of pride in when we spoke to him for a few mins on our way out. Joe is a true NE Philly guy that's putting out a great product in the Clearwater area.“

“This was stop #2 in the Frencys Cocktail Challege. We took a stroll from our 1st stop, walked the beach, and then crossed into the shopping area. This location is behind Walgreens. It's much larger than the 1st. Covered open air seating with outdoor bar seating as well. Looks much different, and the bartender told us that each location had a few different items. We had a couple of drinks. Not on the beach itself. There's not much to see, just on a back road surrounded by buildings. Still good food and service! Also, they have "Scottie" the turtle in the back to take a picture with.“

“Great seafood, great waitstaff, great view!“
