New American Restaurants near Clearwater Beach, FL

“What a nice surprise to find this place. I was not staying at this Hilton, but was looking for a place to eat after a walk on the beach. What a great view and the bang-bang shrimp tacos were delicious. Add an aperol spritz to make it a perfect dining experience! Amazing end to a busy work week prior to getting on the plane and back to the chill of the northeast!“

“Great experience at the Salt Cracker Fish Camp. Our server Paola Z was very attentive, and her warm, welcoming smile made dinner very enjoyable. Oh yeah and did I mention that the food was outstanding. Don't forget to finish with some homemade Key Lime pie!“

“My husband surprised me with an anniversary dinner at SeaGuini, and it was an unforgettable experience. The food was absolutely amazing, with each dish perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. The service was equally impressive—attentive, friendly, and made our evening feel extra special. Dessert was the highlight, simply phenomenal. To top it all off, the sunset views at night were breathtaking. Highly recommend SeaGuini for a memorable dining experience!“

“Great afternoon with the bar staff and the views are fantastic!“

“Excellent food. Excellent service . Excellent sunset. From the valet to the wait staff to the wine and food everything was top notch amazing“

“We checked into the hotel and figured we’d go to the rooftop for a quick lunch because we were starved and it was right at the hotel. We didn’t expect a whole lot but what we got was awesome!!! We met Eric who is fabulous and we pretty well ended up spending the day and night there, (it’s not typical for us to hang at a bar). After Eric left, we met Tyler and Brandon. They were tons of fun, too. The food was fabulous as well and we had a blast!!! We went back the next night and we will be back again tonight! This place is great!!!!“

“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 treat for our 9th first date anniversary! M39 did not disappoint. Awesome food, cool vibe and David's service is impeccable. Crusted oysters, Cuba pork are amazing! Paella...the best since Sevilla! Great wine and craft beer list. Coming back is a DEF!“

“Two enthusiastic thumbs up for Pete's Diner! They very kindly arranged to deliver a turkey dinner today to my brother (who lives in Dunedin and is recovering at home after surgery). Well, they delivered a delicious meal at 2:30pm and it was truly a HOMEMADE dinner. It was EXCEPTIONAL! From the turkey, to the gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, corn, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pie with whipped cream--it was a homemade feast. We are deeply grateful to Pete's Diner for the extraordinary Thanksgiving dinner they prepared, and delivered!!!!“

“Been in this area since 2003, been going to the blue for years. Today was absolutely amazing. Thank you to our server Italia she went above and beyond expectations. We finished our lunch in the main dining room went out to the poolside and she continue to take care of our party like I said I’ve been going there for years. Today was exceptional. Hope everybody else can get this experience.“

“Love your food, clean cafe and servers are nice. But, you need another cashier. Change is necessary or you will lose customers.“

“Food is usually good here. Sometimes the brisket is great, sometimes it is not so tender. Sometimes the chicken is dry, other times its not. I think it depends on who is working at the time. The beans and green beans are usually very good. Garlic bread not very flavorful. Mac n cheese has been hit or miss. Staff at drive through are nice. I have gotten orders mixed up or missing things a few times at drivethrough. This time the fries side was onion rings, but to me that was an upgrade.“

“Sandwiches were so good! We had the hot chicken sandwich and the corned beef!! Definitely would go back !!“

“My wife and I don't eat out that much. But, when we do, we prefer going to Savory. The people, the food, the prices are great. We were there recently and decided that we have never had a meal that we were not satisfied with nor were the servers there anything but good!“

“Be warned ⚠️ check your order before leaving. They don't check to make sure all your items are in the bag“

“This restaurant was recommended to us and we're recommending it. It was our first visit and YES, we will go back multi times. We had breakfast. Two eggs over medium. One had hash browns, one had home fries, sausage links, biscuit, and toast. Let us finalize our visit this way. On the way home, we kept saying...That was really good! Over and over again.“

“Went here with some friends on a Friday night. They had live music and really nice dart boards 🎯 the place wasn't that big but it was the perfect size & very welcoming 😎 the main reason I wanted to leave a review was because of their food. I had their special which was a Prime rib 😮 with french fries on garlic toast, it was delicious, there fries are amazing. Everything that my friends had they also loved.. All of the staff were amazing very friendly. Even the cook came out and asked how we enjoyed our food. The prices are unbeatable. I had dinner and a drink for 20 bucks prior to going to the blind shark. We had gone to another bar and it cost me 30 bucks to have two drinks.🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣😎..“

“Always great food. For our friends that enjoy a cocktail they now have a full bar“

“I was here with a friend about a month ago and then again tonight with two of my friends and everything has been wonderful. Service food all top notch. if you try the French dip you will never try another French dip anywhere ever again. The filet with French onion pasta is just crazy good. if you are local and you have not eaten here you are missing out.“

“A favorite place! My husband and I have been going here for over 20 years! Now that the original and best Chef Roger is back after an absence for a few years, it is even more fantastic and every single dish is full of quality and flavor! It was not the same when he was away. I recommend you go and enjoy Roger's amazing menu. The servers are all too notch, especially Woody, Jason, and Brittany! You can watch people on the trail and parking is free! You will enjoy your visit! Roger is the best Chef in all of Tampa Bay! Thank you Roger for coming back!“

“Absolutely the best brunch we have had anywhere in years. I highly recommend this fantastic restaurant!“

“great food great service.“

“Great food and service. My wife is a very good cook and our food tasted like what my wife would make.“

“Enjoyed dinner here on 4/22. Several gluten free options available; our food was great! Our server, Tobias, was outstanding; we really enjoyed him. Seems like the kind of guy a parent would love to have their daughter bring home.“

“Phalen was amazing. After 32 years of coming to this place, this was our first opportunity to have breakfast as they used to be luncheon dinner only. Not only was our server phenomenal, this place is gonna give other breakfast spots are run for their money. Thank you Plalen! Excellent service. Started on the beach in the sand, and after it rained, we had to move into the deck area. Will definitely be back.“

“WOW! We were today years old when we discovered this not-so-hidden gem! Kandi had the "Hula Bowl" and I had the "Maui Poke Bowl", and they were both super-fresh and delicious! We will be back!!!“

“My Memphis born husband stopped smoking pork and beef when we discovered Eli's. Whenever family visits, getting Eli's BBQ is a MUST. WE have enjoyed their pork, beef, beans,, coleslaw and sauce for many gatherings. Most recently we hosted a very large party. All the food was so good, people wanted to know where we got it! Ronni and the staff are good, caring people. The value ion the food, the service and the warmth of the owners and staff make it a "gotta come back again often" place. At this time there is road work being done in front, that makes it a bit difficult to get to, but it is worth the effort. It's right on the Dunedin Trail, so you can go by bike, or walk a bit further than you are used to on Douglas..“

“A BIG thanks to Mary for her excellent management of the Shipwatch Tennis facility ! We’ve trained at several different tennis facilities, across Florida, over the past fifteen years, and Shipwatch is the best managed facility that we have experienced ! Best, Roy“

Seth and Erin“

“Yes love the food and excellent service great sports atmosphere the only set back is in the summer with the large door by the bar open the bar and restaurant is very uncomfortable“

“Was a 5 star now a 3. I've been coming here every Tuesday for 2 years and it's been an excellent experience. Since the change in servers/ personnel ,the service and experience has declined greatly. Our table waited 15 minutes for a server at 3:00. Katie (bartender) and Avery (server) are excellent and should work the bar area.“

“Excellent food and drinks even better was the amazing service and hospitality at the bar provided by bartender Bobby and team. It was our last night of vacation 2/18/26 and we had a wonderful evening and dining experience! Thank you!“
