“DeLukas is our new favorite restaurant! The owners, Z and Darina are so passionate about this restaurant and have put their heart and soul into it’s food and atmosphere. The classic Eastern European decor makes us feel like we are back in Croatia, beautiful, relaxing, and unrushed. We are always greeted warmly, and the service is wonderful! The wide variety of food choices, all handmade, make it difficult to choose! Everything we have eaten has just been delicious! We always accompany our meal with a bottle of Croatian wine, equally as delicious! We always recommend this restaurant to our friends!”
“Great place to get a delicious seafood. Inviting and friendly staff and food prepared exactly as you request. Pleasant atmosphere and helpful staff. Brionna was especially helpful in finding just the right mix of seasonings for our meal.We will be back again with friends and family!”
“This place is a gem! Amazing food, wonderful service and a great location. A must visit restaurant in Clearwater beach. They even went above and beyond, mailing an item we left of my daughters at the restaurant as they were our last stop before heading to the airport. Absolutely the best!”
“Nice People, Good Food This is for their Daily News Cafe on Belcher. It was a busy Saturday evening and we didn’t have a reservation. The very nice staff found us a place. They took care of us promptly and efficiently in a friendly manner. We started with the Daily News Shrimp appetizer which was delicious. We moved on to the Chicken Marsala which was very good and the Grilled Branzino which was even better. It was nice to have a meal that included some vegetables. That’s hard to find these days. The servings were large enough to have some leftovers—always appreciated. I do wish their wine list was a little better and cocktails would have been nice. In any case, the nice staff make up for any shortcomings. I’ll be back and I’d like to try their other location on Ft Harrison in Clearwater.”

“My wife and I came here on a very busy night. However, our host, Al, was very kind and helped us out and got us seated super quickly. The food took a minute but was well worth the wait, and there wasn’t much to complain about because the view is spectacular. Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back here if we’re in Clearwater again.”
“Been looking for another Italian Restaurant to go to after my favorite closed down. Finally found a place I can't wait to go back to. My meal was outstanding. Everyone else loved theirs also. I'm no Tiramisu connoisseur, but it was certainly one of the best I've had. Our server was on point and extremely polite and friendly smile the whole time. The canolli and creme brulee was also good with the sample taste my wife gave me before demolishing it. Pleasant experience... Thank you”

“Me and my husband used CaraMel's Bakery for our wedding cake and it was fabulous! We sat down with the baker and chose three different flavors for our cake and showed her a picture of how we'd like the cake. The wedding was a Harry Potter themed wedding and she followed everything in the picture and more! The cake was gorgeous and was truly magical. If you need a cake for your wedding, DO NOT HESITATE to contact CaraMel's Bakery.”

Met Valerie and her nephew and both were so nice. We’ll definitely be back! There’s really only one table to sit at so it’s more of a to go spot. Valerie also makes all her jams & jellies & cookies & some other snacks that looked good.”

The sauce tastes so good but very spicy and I didn’t mind the spiciness . We have been going there ever since and we sat at the same table from day one and they know exactly what food we like . My husband had the duck with mixed vegetables and a bowl of rice and he loves it .”

My picky eater kids were thrilled to find numerous dishes they loved, indulging in plate after plate of delicious food. A truly satisfying dining adventure for the whole family!”

“Went for lunch, to my surprise the huge place was practically empty. Bikes on display were cool. The occ merch is so expensive, $40 for like a cheap t shirt with their printed logo slapped on it. The employees were decent, waitress super nice, food was maybe slightly better than normal bar foods, but nothing to brag about. Food prices were decent too, about $20 per person with tip for lunch.”

What's nice is that the coffee is strong without being bitter. Will be back :)”

“I was extremely happy with my catering order for 10 people. All of the trays were hot, labeled and packed securely. I appreciated the inclusion of places, napkins, utensils and condiment packets. I would recommend both dining in and catering. The portions are large and the food is well-seasoned. Breakfast can be bland but Another Broken Egg Cafe does it better than most. Great place!Kid-friendliness: There is indoor and outdoor seating depending on how rowdy the kids are, or if you prefer ample room around your table.Wheelchair accessibility: There is handicap parking directly across from the front doors and a ramp from the parking lot to the doors is wheelchair accessible. The restaurant itself has no steps, but the tables are extremely close and aisles would not fit a wheelchair without prior notice. Even walking, I had to turn sideways to squeeze through the dining room to the restroom.”

Then I splurged and got the Banana creme pie that they are also so well known for. My partner always loved that pie, so I got a piece in his memory. Hey it was amazing. Super friendly servers and very busy place, but you’re never ignored. Great Job!”

Amy certainly went above and beyond to ensure our experience was excellent and definitely return.Amy is definitely an asset to this establishment.”
“We came here to grab some lunch and we were so happy with our decision. The location is just off the main road. It is outdoor seating only, with some pretty cool vibes because of the outdoor setup. The service was good, as the gentleman helping us told us it was only his second day, but he still did a great job helping us. We ordered the chicken tenders platter and the crabby pretzel. Both tasted great. I know it's hard to say chicken tenders are great, but I have had a lot of chicken tenders and these were some of the best. The cheese sauce that came with the pretzel really stood out and tasted great as well. We came during a bit of an off time but it definitely seems like it would be a really cool place to hangout during peak times.”
“The Pepperoni and hot honey pizza is to die for! And the wings have the most amazing smoke flavor! Great selection of craft beer on tap and in the cooler. Lots of fun in Thursday at music bingo. If you haven’t been there then get there. This place is worth checking out.”

The servers, bartenders and staff were on their A game and kept the space clean, especially during the meal and dessert transitions.

This particular location is filled with great Cincinnati memorabilia, great staff, and the same smell and tastes Cincy natives have come to appreciate. Great stuff! It’s always Skyline time!”
“we didn't really care for the food. the fries had a grease taste and the gyro sauce tasted funny. the prices are quite high. for 3 people it was over 60.00 for gyros fries and drinks. we should have gone somewhere else for those prices. The add on combo options were really ridiculous. A gyro for 12.00 wow. I won't be back.”

“Rita's is a family tradition that now extends two generations. We go to Rita's for any family accomplishment, or just because it's a Friday night. With quality flavored ices that have a good flavor rotation, and that classic custard, there's always something for everyone. Best order option is a Gelati with two ice flavors sandwiched between layers of custard.”

“I believe it was a manager but she went above and beyond this morning for my son who is an extremely picky eater and only wanted French fries this morning for breakfast. They were still about an hr out from starting to serve lunch and she over heard and came over and asked if that’s all he wanted which yes it was and said she would go make him some. Ended up with some extra and asked my daughter if she would like them. Made my kids day which in return made mine. Thank you!!!”
“Murray is absolutely wonderful in your drive-thru!! I needed help w my app and he was more than willing to help w the most positive attitude!! I appreciate him being so patient & kind while helping me, bc I was a mess lol Thanks again Murray!! ( younger w longer curly ish hair & a wonderful smile!!) (Saturday night just before closing)”
“I love the gulf to bay location in Clearwater. The crew is amazing. They are always politely, helpful and friendly. I have a service animal and sometimes because I don't look like I need one...people give me a hard time or stare at me....They've never once made us feel unwelcome at all. I love their boneless chilli Tai wings and teriyaki boneless wings too. Honestly from the chessesteaks to fries...to wings...it's all AMAZING! Worth the prices. ?Kid-friendliness: My kids are picky, and the cashier was total cool about it and very relaxed/understanding.Wheelchair accessibility: Ooen Floorplan with pull out chairs and tables.”
“Excellent little spot on our way back from Clearwater! Large variety on the menu, everything was delicious and prepared fresh! Will definitely go back if we are in the area again!”
“I came in with my husband for an early dinner and, as usual, had a great experience. This place always hits the mark when it comes to consistency. Steve T. , our server, who really made our visit special with his prompt service, great suggestions, and professional demeanor. The food was delicious, cooked to perfection, and the restaurant was clean and inviting. It's definitely a place to eat!”
“Food was great and affordable! Service was amazing! We went back several times and always requested Jade for our waitress! She’s so down to earth and is amazing at her job!”

“Sweetwood Bakery provided the cake for our wedding and it was amazing! We asked for a simple white frosting with blue fruit and greenery and it came out exactly how we envisioned it. One of the venue servers said it was his favorite wedding cake to date because of how beautiful the design was and that is saying a lot because the server has seen so many wedding cakes! Highly recommend :)”
“Friends brought me in today while on vacation. Fantastic food, generous portions, fun atmosphere and friendly staff (Jennifer was wonderful). Definitely will visit again when in Clearwater!”
“We ordered takeout and the lady who helped us over the phone was so great. I love Filipino food and was picking out a good amount of items so she took her time on the phone to walk me through combos. She was exceptional when my husband walked in for or order and talked us into the flan which was superb.”
“The cashier is really nice she was patient with us, helped us out with the wifi and even put the lights on over the high top where we were at. The pastries are cute and light to the palette not really full of sugar like American pastries. The ambiance is very anime esque, chic and fun. My friend and I loved the vibes, so chill.”
“Just had breakfast here , they opened 2 months ago and found this searching breakfast places Clearwater and this came up, services was very quick, food was excellent , great menu , will definitely be back, and super clean !!”
“You can't beat this place with anything else in Clearwater beach! On a sunny March day sitting outside in the sand and having a margarita. Nothing beats it. The food and staff are always on it and great to talk with.”
“Second time here,the first time was a Saturday and service was great they had a few workers and everything was great. Today on a Monday 2 workers they seemed very overwhelmed but very kind and kept apologizing to everyone. Obviously they need more then two workers. People are on vacation even on Mondays. One guy waited pry 20 minutes for his iced coffee. My cold brew wasn’t even a full cup $5.50. Still good and I’ll still come again but I sure hope management makes a change and gives the two girls working this morning 5/22 @ 10 am a bonus as they are working hard and the line is going out the door, some are leaving. To top it off the bathroom is out of order.”
“I can't even begin to describe how wonderful the food and the ladies preparing it are. The shop has such a cute atmosphere which makes you want to stay and not leave. Definitely a hidden gem!”
“Paddywagon’s is probably the best bar around. Charlie and Cam are incredible bartenders and even better people. Frank does a great job running the bar. I wouldn’t go anywhere else to drink.”
“Great spot for coffee! When speaking to the owner it was clear he genuinely loved his little shop. Very much a mom and pop vibe. They roast their own beans and come up with such creative coffees. Their coffee is honestly the best coffee I've had around this area. They also have great prices.. cheaper than Starbucks and Dunkin.”
“My fiancé and I walked in from taking an afternoon walk; and we immediately LOVED the vibe! The coffee is great and so is the food! Simple yet so fresh! Definitely going to be back!”
“Just arrived back in Clearwater after years and years. My first stop was an old favorite. Last time I was here Sofia and her Husband owned the place. I was sad to hear they sold it. Nervous too, I was worried the food wouldn't be what it was, but I was wrong. The food quality hasn't changed. Gyros were some of the best I've had and the cannolis and baklava were so delicious. Prices were good. Decor hasn't changed either. Great hidden gem of Clearwater, FL.”
“We have gone to Southern Lights Brewing Company several times lately and have been able to enjoy several delicious beers, a great environment and culture held together by staff and other patrons, and yummy food trucks! Enjoy having this brewery in a quieter part of the neighborhood.”
“We ate at Our Place December 3,2023. I think there was only one table there and they were closing within 30 minutes. Alesia was very polite and the service was great! Didn’t wait long on food and everything was delicious! She ask if we were from out of town and suggested that we look at the Christ lights in Largo City Central Park. So happy she suggested it. Very beautiful if you’re down that way . Would definitely eat here again.”
“Great place. Love the vibe in this place. Peaceful. Coffee great. Great prices. I can say it's better than Starbucks. Come check the place out if you are a coffee lover. visiting from DALLAS TX”
“Fix on the third floor right in the heart of the entry to the beaches and shore drive, 3 Daughters Brewery is worth a stop for the beers and views for sure. Very friendly folks who like to talk beer, and our faves were the Florida Orange IPA and their ManGo Crazy DIPA, with others being 'good' but not stand outs for us. Didn't check out any food and not sure what they offer, so just talking beers for us. *Threw in a panoramic pic so you can get a feel for the views. Cheers.”
“The food was delicious and the service was great. Our food took a little longer to come out and the gave us a free app and dessert which was really above and beyond”
“Seriously one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! I regret I didn’t take any pictures. Amazing food and fun experience all wrapped up in one! These were my favorites: bul go ki beef, curry chicken, shrimp dumpling, pork dumpling, kimchi style soup base, spicy pork belly, and the spam. Soooo many different sauce options and veggies options. Everything is included and all you can eat! 10/10 recommends ☺️”
“The photos are from the side that most people don't even sit at. The food was okay. I was recommended the African Curry, which I would NOT recommend. It was like a tomato curry that they just put some curry powder on.The app with brie was literally just a giant brick of brie.Bacon wrapped dates were the best item, but really how hard is it to screw that up?”
“Atmosphere was excellent, selection of beer, wine and spirits was great as well. Our server and our chef were outstanding. Attentive, entertaining and accommodating. Bit pricey, but you get a ton of food- they don't skimp on the portion sizes. Parents had a great time. Recommend if you have a group!”
“This is a wonderful little dinner theater with great artistic choice in plays. The food was wonderful, and the staff very professional. Great evening out with the girls!”
“We love this spot. The service is always outstanding and the food perfect. Great family-style.portions. We have yet to have a dish that we didn't enjoy. My favorites are the beef bulgogi and kimchee pancakes. You can't go wrong with japchae for people unfamiliar with Korean dishes. Other family favs (Korean family members) are the soups and variety of kimchee.”
“Gary the host is phenomenal! He made our dinner extra special. The food is outstanding and everyone is great. What turned into a rainy day made for an absolutely lovely dinner. Thank you!”
“Our initial visit experience this evening was 5 star and we were made to feel like family. Paulo welcomed us and then his daughter Ilaria took over and walked us through a flawless journey from wine to our incredible meal. Homemade pasta, Paulo’s personally made bread, and much more. We look forward to returning and will refer our friends to this awesome restaurant. Marlene, David, and our little pet Morkie Gracie. Grazie Paulo.”
“One of the few places to have the restaurant and bar open on this Thanksgiving day. The quesadilla with grilled chicken was one of the best I ever had. The bartender was most kind!!!!!”
“Always the best good. The staff is so friendly and make great recommendations if you ask for them. Haven't had a bad experience yet. Definitely make a reservation if you can.”
“This is my 4th time as a repeat customer. I get the chicken pita. The food is fresh and wonderfully flavored. The employees are attentive and very kind. 10/10 will be back!”
“Best service and food since moving here in 2021! The staff really makes you feel that they are happy to have you as customers! The service was fast, sushi fresh and great tasting! Our new favorite restaurant!”
“Great help from the best people, they’ve helped us with our kids so much! Our kids are happier since we started with their sessions and they love going to Mace Kingsley.”

“The service is great! I love their build your own poke bowl! It's healthy, filling, and overall delicious! It's definitely my go to place if I want something healthy to eat fast!”
“This place is very small and very simple. But hands down, the best sushi I've ever had. And both the sushi chef and the guy taking orders were extremely friendly. If I ever make it back to Clearwater, this will be an absolute visit.”
“We had their food poolside and drinks at the bar. The service was great. Nice to have pool drinks and snacks. The menu here is better than inside the hotel at eSKapade (sp). Same quality (good) just more to choose from.”
“Beautiful Clearwater beach location. The service was excellent. The drinks were very good. The food was not as good as I remembered from the Ybor and St. Augustine locations.”
“Heard so much about this place and ended up very disappointed. Our server had NO personality and very slow service. Felt like he was doing us a favor. Meal was ok. Whole outside area seemed very disorganized last night. Will not be returning.”
“Very accommodating! Looked so pretty online and it's even better in person. Definitely a whole experience and great way to celebrate our anniversary! Get the table side cesar salad closest thing to NOLA I have found in FL as far as ambiance and taste! We have had lost reservations in the past at other establishments and other bad experiences so it's nice to just be able to enjoy it. We will be celebrating here for now on”
“Got the pulled pork sammich and coleslaw. It was good food and a good atmosphere! The coleslaw had a little too much vinegar and tasted like garlic a little too much but was still good, just a little overwhelming.”
“Great food and service! We love the resort as a whole and Tate is just the cherry on top. The pulled pork nachos were a hit for us as well as the pina coladas. The fire pit at night is wonderful to meet other resort goers and wind down from the day. Elaine is THE BEST attribute to your establishment hands down. As someone who has worked the industry for over 15 years, her skill set and drive does not go unnoticed. This woman works HARD each and everyday in the summer heat for her guests and remains pleasant her entire shift with a smile or quick chat. Every day we came down to the pool side or beach side and said “I wonder if Elaine is here today” and would look around specifically for her. She truly made our couples vacation together that much better. We will be back in the future and hope to see her bubbly self again! Love, your favorite St. Louis couple :)”
“Great service and experience. Delicious food and drinks, friendly and professional staff, nice atmosphere. Perfect if you want to celebrate something special or for a date.”
“Good food, but they add pepper every where, even in the small blend of oil served with the bread.For the fist time since 5 five years in Pinellas County, I had my steak really rare, as I ordered. Wonderful!!!For my husband, the veal piccata was good, but the "butter" sauce is not butter. just something light yellow, with absolutely no taste of butter, neither lemon. It is a pity...however, we"ll come back...”
“Went on the dinner cruise tonight in Clearwater- had an amazing time! I had read reviews about how good the food was, and they were spot on! Everything was amazing! Had the pastry and Brie cheese appetizer with pecans- omg it was so delicious! The melted cheese with the buttery pastry and pecans- so good we ordered a second one! My entree was crab stuffed shrimp- out of this world- and my son had the flat iron steak and said he loved it! The icing on the proverbial cake was the cruise itself- so relaxing, watching the sun set over the water in Clearwater- cruising slowly by all the beautiful houses, small island, even saw a few dolphins! And topper of the evening was a DJ who got everyone dancing. Overall, just an amazing experience! The only reason it wasn’t 5 stars was because the bathrooms were very small and a bit tough to navigate in… But it is a boat (ship) after all, so that’s understandable. Overall it was a great evening and experience, and we hope to get back again someday!”
“I had the pleasure of visiting Overtime Sports Bar, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by the lively yet welcoming atmosphere that any sports enthusiast would adore.The Ambiance: The bar's ambiance is a perfect blend of excitement and comfort. The walls are adorned with various sports memorabilia, and the multiple large-screen TVs strategically placed around the bar ensure that you don't miss any action from your favorite games. The lighting is just right - not too dim, not too bright, creating a perfect setting for both game nights and casual hangouts.Bartenders and Service: The bartenders at Overtime deserve a special mention. They are not just skilled at their craft but are also incredibly friendly and attentive. They seem to have a knack for remembering faces and orders, which adds a personal touch to the service. Whether it's a busy night or a quiet afternoon, they ensure that every patron feels taken care of.Touch Tunes Jukebox: A highlight of my visit was the Touch Tunes Jukebox. It's a fantastic addition that allows customers to choose their music. This interactive experience adds a layer of fun and personalization, letting patrons set the mood with their song selections.Food and Drinks: Overtime's menu is a delightful surprise. It's not just your typical bar food; there's a variety of options, and each dish is prepared with care. The wings are a must-try – they are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and come with an array of sauces to choose from. The drink selection is equally impressive, featuring a range of craft beers, cocktails, and non-alcoholic options.Cleanliness and Safety: In these times, cleanliness is paramount, and Overtime does not disappoint. The bar is well-maintained, and the staff is seen regularly cleaning and sanitizing, which makes you feel safe and cared for.Overall Experience: In conclusion, Overtime Sports Bar is a fantastic spot whether you're a sports fan or just looking for a great place to unwind. The combination of a warm ambiance, friendly service, great food and drinks, and the engaging Touch Tunes Jukebox makes for an unforgettable experience. I'm already looking forward to my next visit and would highly recommend Overtime Sports Bar to anyone looking for a great time.”
“Visiting from out of town and glad we stopped by. Outdoor seating area was great, staff was friendly and attentive. Food was excellent, totchos and boneless wings. Cocktails were delicious and fairly priced at $9-$10. Beer was $8 a pint so figured a flight would be decently priced too... wrong!!! Should have asked bc when we got the bill, it was TWENTY DOLLARS for four 5 oz tastes (although they didn't look like 5 oz?), so basically we paid $16 a pint. That was a bit disappointing, but being on vacation "it is what it is" I guess. There was a sale on the vodka sodas so got a few 8 packs of those to take home, great deal at just about $1.00 a piece. If I lived here, this place would definitely be somewhere I'd frequent.”
“Entering Media Luna Luna Mexican Restaurant is like a culinary trip to Mexico. Each dish is packed with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients that never fail to impress. The tamales? Simply out of this world! It's my go-to place for a satisfying meal that always hits the spot. The warm, welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff make for a delightful experience. Whether for a casual lunch or a festive dinner, Media Luna is the place you can count on for a great gastronomic adventure.Stepping into the Media Luna Luna Mexican Restaurant is like a culinary journey to Mexico.

“This was my 3rd visit here, Whenever i visit from NY we love to go to their buffet but now that have changed and we our meal over 30 mins to come but OVERALL it was nice & spicy!”
“It was so good i could have easily cried! The food is everything i wanted and more! Their salsa verde is has amazing flavor with a kick to it. Al pastor was moist and a beautiful red color! Asada had amazing traditional flavors and melted in your mouth. I definetly found ny go to taco truck!”
“Delicious first visit to this small, family owned hidden gem in downtown Clearwater. Perfect for dinner prior to our concert at the park only a couple blocks away. We had beef empanadas, meatballs, octopus, and a cheese platter. All were authentic and very good. Sangria was homemade. Great art on the walls, too. Prices were very reasonable.”
“This place is so good!! Everything tasted amazing, my server was nice and attentive, and we overall had a great time eating here. The sushi is really good, and i absolutely LOVED the dumplings, i couldn’t stop ordering them.”
“1000% the best Japanese I’ve ever had. Best sushi I’ve ever had, best hibachi, best miso soup, best sauces, best service. Just the best, I will pick this place over any other every chance I get.”
“These guys know their smoke. Great bbq; the kind of traditional taste you associate with places on a Carolina backroad that have been at it for years.. The sides were good, especially the baked beans, which have a unique flavor profile. They are earning those five star Google reviews.”
“Hats off to the chef!! I just had the best cream of mushroom soup ever!! I know that sounds like a weird soup to rave over but it’s so damn good! Big chunks of mushroom and there was an amazing depth of flavor in the base. Short ribs was my entree… it was melt in your mouth goodness!! It had whipped potatoes and brussels for side. Everything went well together!! Would have dined in if we weren’t under the weather, so we could tell the chef dinner was great :)”
“The Pad Thai is the best anywhere I've been, sweet and succulent. Chicken Panang Curry and the bento boxes are delish, too, making the choice hard. The ethnic decor and friendly service are wonderful, but it's the flavors that keep us coming back, year after year. Enjoy!”
“Sat down right away.we are staying at the hotel here so wanted to get something close by. The waitress was awesome. Would have given them a five, but the price of the food was a little high for the type of food.”
“We were craving pizza, but wanted something close to the hotel so we found this place. It hit the spot. They were fast as well. Pizza was good, stuffed shells and side salad also good. Waiter was attentive. Good atmosphere. Would go back.”
“Only marked it 4 stars because several of the games were not working. The pizza is fabulous here and generally the games are really fun. I am an adult and went with my kid for a birthday party and they did a great job for the party.”
“Service was a little slow and order was not exact. Food was good and staff was friendly and helpful!Dietary restrictions: We had many diet restrictions in our group. Citrus, so lemon, gluten, dairy. Everyone found something on menu. I ordered my Salmon without lemon and had bottled water to be safe. The Salmon was excellent!!!!Kid-friendliness: We had 3 young ones and our waiter bent over backwards to make dinner extra special.”
“Best tacos I've ever had! I went with my girlfriend, who has spent a lot of time in Mexico City, and she said these were the first tacos she has tried in the US that taste like they did in Mexico.”
“We were looking for a new Thai restaurant. Honestly, reading the recent reviews gave me some hesitation to visit, but it seemed the "new owners" were different but in the same family. Very friendly, too.We were pleasantly surprised. Ample potions of food at a reasonable price point, great presentation, and excellent flavor with just the right amount of spice. Even the flatware was premium quality.A lot of restaurants really pour on the food and, using "economy of scale", will charge another 20-30%. Not here. We got a Spring Roll appetizer (the largest rolls I've ever seen!), two dinner entrees, and to beverages. A small cole slaw, soup, and pork turnover started the meal, too, at no charge. Our bill came to $48.We'll be back!”
“Very inviting and the food is made fresh to order with every time. Tasty salads and soups. The sushi is over the top great! Wonderful fresh cooked appetizers and the staff is very very nice.”
“I did not expect the change from itialian to mexican but the food was more than I could finish and was quite tasty. The service was sparce, it appears family owned and there were distraction. It looks like they are in the process of changing the atmosphere to a mexican flare but that takes time.Keep up the improvements, looking forward to what is next.”
“Absolutely delicious burgers; juicy and messy the way burgers should be! The dining room is very casual, but clean and comfortable. The team was super helpful and fast. My new favorite burger joint!”
“Great strawberry lemonades. Kind of too lemony though. Lady serviced us Monday evening about 7pmish on April 8th. not a lot of people there so it’s nice to leave a better tip because they don’t.make much without anyone. Food was great. Thank you for your service.”
“Been here 10 days, and had dinner three nights! Burger night was great. Friday fish (haddock) fry was awesome. Breaded to order. Pork tenderloin sandwich was so good. With pickles, mustard and diced onions. I hat the tots. Great staff. Everybody cares. Yeungling on tap, with a frosty glass every time. What more could you want?”
“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!”
“Come here for atmosphere only. Food is meh. Don’t be fooled by the “fine dining” mention on Google.Wedge was fair (tomato’s soggy)Buffalo chicken dip needs more flavor and larger portion!”
“Very inviting and the food is made fresh to order with every time. Tasty salads and soups. The sushi is over the top great! Wonderful fresh cooked appetizers and the staff is very very nice.”
“Honestly, some of the best wings I've ever had and easily the best in Clearwater Beach. Prices are great, food is great, atmosphere is great and the service is 2nd to none as well.”
“Came to captain pizza based on recommendation from Airbnb owner who mentioned this was best pizza in the area. He was right! We ordered the meat pizza and it was delicious, heavy on the meats which was just what we love and very tasty. The crust, cheese and sauce is perfect. The staff was very friendly and provided excellent customer service. This is a great spot for after sunset views, lunch or very late night snack!”
“Always a great place for social hour! Stacey is the best server - she always has a smile on her face and makes sure that we are happy with everything. Hoping the martini flights come back soon but the classic margarita is excellent, too.”
“Juan the chef was magnificent food came out so delicious ? like no other really thought I was in a 5 star restaurant. The bar tender Liam was magnificent gave me the best bar tender service l.”

“Autumn helped me with my order last night. She was very friendly and helpful. I almost forgot some of my food and she was right on it. Thank you for not letting me ruin dinner!”
“I never really have an issue with this place, been ordering here for years. They are super nice & quick with taking your order. Occasionally i’ll get some oily noodles, or the chicken might be chewy. But that’s very rare. They are reasonably priced in my opinion, ik some people said they felt like it was too expensive. But it’s pretty comparable to most chinese places. The inside on the restaurant is pretty small, but i always order take out. The kitchen looks pretty clean, i’ve never had an issues with the food being cold/ or looking old. Will continue to order from here”
“In town for a concert and our hotel recommended this restaurant as it is close by. We went in the off hours (3pm) and were the only ones there which made me nervous. What a wonderful surprise. Delicious. Our waitress “Tina” was great too.”
“First time visiting here and we really enjoyed it. I had Wahoo and a Caesar salad and both were good. There is very limited seating, so come early or plan on waiting. We walked from the beach, so you may have a hard time parking too if you try to park in the municipal lot closest to the restaurant.”
“The staff here are always do friendly and not just for a tip. They are genuinely happy people here evrytine I have visited. Great local hole in the wall. Only issue I have here is the smoke. You will unfortunately go home smelling like smoke and need a shower. No matter if your here 5 min or 5 hours you smell the same when leaving. But if it's cheap beer your after this is your place.”
“Trust me Charlie is the BEST❤️ you haven’t had sushi until you have had Charlie’s. I have been a loyal customer for many years.”
“This is the only restaurant I found in the area that actually serves New York pizza. Authentic new York pizza. Great quality, great tasting. Thank you for bringing me a piece of home!”
“Nice People, Good Food This is for their Daily News Cafe on Belcher. It was a busy Saturday evening and we didn’t have a reservation. The very nice staff found us a place. They took care of us promptly and efficiently in a friendly manner. We started with the Daily News Shrimp appetizer which was delicious. We moved on to the Chicken Marsala which was very good and the Grilled Branzino which was even better. It was nice to have a meal that included some vegetables. That’s hard to find these days. The servings were large enough to have some leftovers—always appreciated. I do wish their wine list was a little better and cocktails would have been nice. In any case, the nice staff make up for any shortcomings. I’ll be back and I’d like to try their other location on Ft Harrison in Clearwater.”
“Amazing Cuban, cream of broccoli soup, breakfast burrito, and pancakes!! There’s no where to sit inside- 2 outdoor tables only. It’s on the backside of the bank building. This will be my go to spot from now on when I’m in the area!”
“Best breakfast place ever! The sweetest and best looking crew! Oh, and the food is outstanding along with the service!! They treat you like family! Make sure you tip them well because they really make sure you are taken care of! Everything is good!! Love them!! John S.”
“Their arepas are so good and portion sizes are always excellent. I almost always have leftovers because I can’t eat it all in one sitting. Their pink sauce is one of the most delicious sauces I’ve ever had, it’s soooooo good.Dietary restrictions: Arepas are a great option for people who eat gluten-free!”
“These cats are the real deal! Randy and Aly are so thoughtful, they genuinely care about their customers! When I say to my husband that is "G.O.T time!!!" he grins ear to ear!”
“Lovely place for an Afternoon Tea experience. Excellent service, large variety of teas and loads of tasty gluten free options! Really enjoyed this with my daughter who loves and appreciates the custom of a traditional afternoon tea!”
“It was awesome experience the music was upbeat, and the food smelled great,the service was great.Parking: Free parking and handicapped parking.Kid-friendliness: Serve items that are kid friendly.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking and easy access.”
“My husband picked up the BBQ lamb chops from 4K’s BBQ. They tasted delicious. They were super tender and full of flavor. The portion size was accurate for the price. I even tried one and we will both get them again. I had the smoked sausage which was delicious as well. We will definitely be going back. I am so glad this area of Clearwater finally has good BBQ!”

“You can't beat this place with anything else in Clearwater beach! On a sunny March day sitting outside in the sand and having a margarita. Nothing beats it. The food and staff are always on it and great to talk with.”
“Went for lunch, to my surprise the huge place was practically empty. Bikes on display were cool. The occ merch is so expensive, $40 for like a cheap t shirt with their printed logo slapped on it. The employees were decent, waitress super nice, food was maybe slightly better than normal bar foods, but nothing to brag about. Food prices were decent too, about $20 per person with tip for lunch.”
“We were fortunate enough to spend 3 nights in a row here! They have a great staff, great vibe, and great food & drinks! Jennifer and Devin especially MADE our nightlife for our 10 year anniversary honeymoon trip this last week. Thank you for being so amazing! An added plus was meeting Nick Hogan and getting to hear him DJ on the rooftop!”
“Fun Beach institution on Clearwater Beach. This restaurant has been here for decades and has fabulous views of the water and live music often. The menu is large and the drinks are cold. And that's everything you can ask for in a beachfront restaurant.,?”
“We went on Saturday morning for brunch, the restaurant is cute and conveniently located inside countryside mall. I had the biscuits and gravy, possibly the best I've ever had. The maple bacon cream puff is an absolutely perfect bite.”
“This was one of our favorite spots while on vacation. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The food was phenomenal. As an Italian, I am skeptical of Italian restaurant cuisine, but this far exceeded expectations!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Indian restaurant offering an all-you-can-eat buffet, and it was a delightful experience. The variety and quality of the dishes were outstanding, each item bursting with freshness and flavor. I highly recommend giving it a try, even if you're not accustomed to diverse cuisines. The buffet allows you to sample a little bit of everything, making it a foolproof way to discover new favorites. My picky eater kids were thrilled to find numerous dishes they loved, indulging in plate after plate of delicious food. A truly satisfying dining adventure for the whole family!”
“We love the fresh oysters! ALL DAY HAPPY HOUR rasta pasta, grouper, cornbread muffins, shrimp appetizer, dogfish, staff....pretty much whole menu and atmosphere. A FAVORITE neighborhood stop...So great to return”

“Well, I think my best joint for chicken strips has great competition. This is how I start. I am doing a job and is lunch time. I look for my preferred chicken place Chick-fil-A. When I arrived at my destination, I noticed across the street a chicken place called Raising Cane's chicken ? , you guessed right I have to try it. I was hooked. the chicken strips were delicious. The fries were hot and crisp. Menu is small, but is all about chicken. Love it.”
“I don't know who Capt. Celso is, but his Almond Crusted Grouper is awesome!!!! In spite of the madness of Spring Break, we were seated quickly (thanks, Danny!) and the grouper dinner was amazing. "Fab" managed to keep us well served in spite of the busy time. Looking forward to coming back soon.”

“I order every Friday and I received a large spicy tofu bowl with extra tofu…this was by far the best experience. The tofu was extra crispy. This was so good, that I want more…just love it!”

“Aloe juice was great. Cashier service was very efficient and helpful. Rise and shine wrap I took the bacon off and it needed something else to flavor it up more. The chicken salad wrap was good.”
