12 Best American Restaurants in Clearwater Beach

“We stayed at the Hyatt Regency and had breakfast and dinner at Shor. The service was top notch and the food was excellent. The lobster mac n cheese was to die for. Dinner was pricey but with excellent food combined with excellent service and an outstanding view what else do you need?“

“We come here every time we come to Clearwater! A true staple! Great atmosphere, great staff, and excellent food!“

“Delicious food. Fun and engaging bartenders. I got to DJ for a corporate after party here. Everyone i worked with at Jimmy's were true team players.“

“The food was top notch or as our outstanding server (Blake) put it "they make everything the hard way, from scratch". We liked it so much we booked a table for New Years Eve and again were wowed by the food and the service. The one drawback was the host stand supervisor. She was snotty and imperious and could really use some training in basic customer service. Once you make it past her you will be rewarded with a wonderful and memorable meal. I would highly recommend the place and look forward to returning again.“

“Food was as amazing as the customer service. We wish we would have found the first day on our trip rather than the last but glad we didn't miss it all together. Crab cakes and tacos were amazing. Highly recommended. Thanks again from South Dakota“

“Family friendly- Family Owed - HoggDaddy’s is always a good time!! Arcade Sports Bar live music venue restaurant“

“The Sunday brunch is the BEST! Awesome service, great food. Wide variety of choices! Also, got room service as a birthday treat, delicious! Highly recommend! Also, fun live music on the weekends! Update: returned in Sept ,2025, GREAT food for eat in or take out, thanks Brian! Can't wait until next time! Treat yourself and try Carrettas!“

“What a fun place to spend an hour or two. Great food (especially their guac), great drinks, and especially great service. Hats off to our favorite server Morgan. She is definitely "service with a smile".😊“

“The food & service were phenomenal. We had a party of 5, sat outside with an ocean view and we all had a fantastic dinner. I’d highly recommend to anymore. We had a variety of dishes and we were all thrilled with our food plus dessert!“

“What a walk down memory lane this is!!! We haven’t been to Bobby’s Bistro, or its more upscale sister restaurant the Beachcomber in years. Twenty years ago, these two restaurants were the absolute “It” place, the best in Tampa. Amazingly, the decor is exactly the same as 20 years ago but somehow doesn’t look dated at all. The food was fantastic. We met George, our server, who is a bit of a celebrity, and he was super nice and gave me a supersized shot! Glad to give this notable establishment a great review!“

“Went back 2 says after our first meal there. Oscar was our waiter. He was professional, courteous and attentive without hovering!! I'm not a big eater and the coconut shrimp were perfect for me. nice size shrimp, cooked just right and served with a Thai chili sauce. Another nice thing about this place is that it is a little out of the center of town and doesn't have quite the crowd and noise other places have. more relaxed and laid back. You cant go wrong.“

“Great place to hang out, eat, and enjoy the scenery. Shepard's is located on a quiet portion of the Clearwater inlet. They have a private sandy beach that can be accessed by small boats or jet skies. They have a stage for live entertainment and covered areas with separate liquor bars. Each covered, open air pavilion, offers TVs in each corner so folks can enjoy individual live games. Shepard's wait staff was super. Our waiter Alan was on top of things and met our needs; he didn't allow our drink glasses to get dry.“
