“We’ve been here two Tuesdays in a row now. Great service, great food. Highly recommended.“

“A welcomed addition to the Clear Sky squad: Jordan! We love this restaurant, the food is always fantastic and it’s a great atmosphere. Our evening was taken over the top by Jordan - a fun, bubbly and incredibly attentive new bartender new to the scene! Cheers!“

“Awesome!! Had the Taco potato, very good and sooo big. I'll be back for sure!“

“Great place! J was awesome !“

“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.“

“Was craving a burger for lunch today. It's a hop, skip and a jump from work. Ordered a Classic Cheeseburger and some sweet potato fries on the side. *wish fries had been put in a paper bag to keep crispy, they were steamed and soggy upon receiving ~ Burger was okay, but lettuce soggy, and wilted, as well. Ate half will eat other half at home where I can get rid of the soggy bits and try and revive it. Usually great food here, give it a try at least. Their sweet potato fries and crack sauce is the best!“

“Wonderful place to eat. Great staff and food were absolutely fantastic! I go every year I visit Clearwater.“

“I loved the North Atlantic Cod Dinner. the fish was so white and had a very mild taste. I substituted mashed potatoes & gravy instead of FF & broccoli w/cheese instead of Cole slaw. all i can say is Delicious!!! I am going back again tomorrow for a repeat of that awesome meal. Wish they had Culver's in NYS.“

“Great breakfast! Easy location to get in and out - perfect way to start the day.“

“We ate there for lunch for the first time today. Really good food at really good prices. It was really pretty inside. We will be back!“

“Me and my family came to dinner tonight 8:55. Are server reece was fantastic very nice and very good attitude. I ordered a rack of ribs i wish i could give the cook “corbin” a big high five because dang nabbit these ribs blew me away perfectly cooked very flavorful and not overly sauced, the ribs where cooked perfectly to where they fell off the bones and i’m very pleased with the portions. A lot of ribs i eat at restaurants they barely have any meat on them maybe enough for one bight and i leave still hungry. These ribs were huge and they did not skimp out on cheap meat. I will definitely be looking forward to coming back“

“We visited last night after a concert. Not knowing what to expect we were pleasantly surprised at the fast, friendly service and great food. That late Saturday night waitresses were short staffed and handling it like champs. Great job all around!“

“He was awesome!“

“Hi...guys/gals, I almost swallowed your pick today. You make excellent and tall sandwiches that I like to order and will order again...and putting a pick in a sandwich is ok. Burying a pick where the customer can't see it, is not. Buy longer picks. Thank you for your good food.“

“Absolutely delicious comfort food at good prices and large portions. The best part is the owner Aina who welcomes everyone that enters as friends and family. First class food and service in a homey environment.“

“I vend here and everyone is so friendly and food is amazing and band is perfect. Staff support is very helpful. I love this place“

“Enjoyed breakfast with my husband at our favorite breakfast cafe, Another Broken Egg (Safety Harbor).We ordered Strawberry Pound Cake French Toast w/ creme brulee sugar! Must have for fall the Pumpkin infused Belgian Waffle with cinnamon butter ,eggs and their delicious house made sausage patties from the Seasonal menu. Everything was delicious!! Our friendly server CarolAnn was so kind and attentive. GM Nick stopped to welcome us and stopped by to ensure we enjoyed our meals and ask if we needed a coffee for the road. The service here is incredible! We’ll be back to try the other fall specials !“

“Nice draft beer selection of microbrews and good food on a large menu. They make some of their own sauces like a candied jalapeño which is very tasty. To bad it’s not open for lunch on weekdays“

“My husband and I were recently in the area to help family with cleanup after Helene. We decided to check out Smokey Bones as it was not too far from our hotel. We went along with family and overall we were very happy with the place. We liked the food but I thought the chili was on the sweet side...which I personally don't like. The best part about our meal was our server Brittany. We went back a second time and we were lucky to have Brittany as our server again. She was very friendly and entertaining. If we ever go back to Fl, we will definitely stop by.“

“Had the best time celebrating my wife’s birthday ! So much fun, great good, awesome crew and nice ship ! The sunset was spectacular !“

“excellent food. great vibe! very friendly! Will definitely go back when back in the area!“

“This was such an amazing breakfast spot! I got one of the breakfast burritos and it was the best I have ever had! Sarah T was our amazing Cafe Staff that assisted us!“

“This was a top notch dining experience in every way. Frost was an incredible waiter with all the scoop on where to go and just beyond pleasant and accommodating. An elegant atmosphere with five star food and drinks yet comfortable is a complete win in our book after traveling all day. We will be back!“

“Everything….. place and staff are awesome….Alicia is the best bartender ….. fun,friendly and professional“

“best soulfood I've ever had it reminds me of my grandma's cooking and it at a good price very friendly women that welcome u like family“

“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.“

“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 service and food. Not happy about seeing Halloween and fall merch in the middle of July. 3 1/2 months early for Halloween is a big turn off.“

“We like to go to Lennys alot on the weekends which are often busy but I feel worth the wait. our favorite is breakfast w the little pastries I would Also, absolutely fabulous, is the matzoball soup. Also the knishes are dynamite. Finally one of my favorite things about this place is the warm welcome and controlled chaos if u are lucky enough to sit near the window and watch the orders fly off the line. Great service. This kind of restaraunt can never beat a chain because it is the heart of a community and well worth a visit any chance we can get.“

“So my Sister, Niece and I decided to visit RockHouse while on our girls trip to Clearwater just a few days ago and oh my goodness we had so much fun! The hospitality we received was amazing! The drinks and food were delicious and the music was on point!!! The Bartenders Brett and Jose’, and Servers Katie and Rain were so sweet and friendly and the DJ Tabby was absolutely adorable! They were all so welcoming and fun! We will definitely visit again! I recommend to anyone wanting to have a great night out (especially if you love karaoke like I do) go and check them out!!! YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! ❤️ Jen, Dawn and Ally from Ohio“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great place to stop in for lunch or dinner and a cold one !! Super friendly staff located in a private gated community Cove Cay, yet open to the public. Just tell them you’re going to AJ‘s at the gate. Beautiful marina waterfront views“

“The service is amazing every time I go I even had the waitress tell me about the new pasta dish that just started Monday can’t wait to go back I truly have a good connection with this Applebees and it’s always perfect when we come thank you to the workers and managment at this establishment they are awesome“

“We are from Cincinnati. We are a skyline family. It is very rare that our family does not have skyline once a week. So we were very glad to see that there was a skyline location near us during our vacation. We had great service and good food. I would rate it. A four-star would’ve gave them a five star, but they did not have a souvenir shirt in my size.“

“Manager needs to smile more Nice staff loved waitresses very sweet food was hot and fresh we from Louisiana but we will visit again 🥰“

“My family and I had a wonderful experience here. The food and drinks were amazing for all of us. The staff was friendly, and our server was on top of it! We joined the waitlist but got in very quickly. I was so happy with how they understood my allergy concerns. I have celiac, and they brought me a gluten free menu, that had several items! I got the shrimp, mashed potatoes, and fruit. It was all delicious, I would totally recommend coming here.“

“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!“

“Applebees is a nice restaurant with delicious food all around US, but this place is really special because of Michael! If you want to get service you never had before - come here and enjoy. Michael is the best waiter I ever met!
Kids friendly place.“

“I have to say, I had pretty much given up on (the food at) Hooters. That is, until I stopped in at the Clearwater Beach location while traveling for work. The wings were "delightfully [crispy], yet un-[greasy]". I know most people don't go to Hooters for the food, but, rather, the "atmosphere", however, these wings were, in the words of my generation, amazeballs. Laena was really nice, too, even though, unbeknownst to me, I walked in 10 minutes before they closed at 10 o'clock on a Wednesday.“

“The lamb bucatini was out of this world! And the brownie was soooo chocolate.“

“The service was terrific despite a brisk lunch crowd. The Mediterranean artichoke hearts were delicious!“

“place is awesome. I come here three or four mornings per week.. The restaurant recently expanded within the same building with bar seating, big screen TV Highly recommend every day 7am-3 pm. great atmosphere.“

“Didn't think this would be a very good place to eat... had a gift card and decided to check it out..
But was very pleasantly surprised...

“Food is pretty good, super fast service. Large menu selection, fair prices, friendly staff. I got a Cobb salad which had fried chicken in it. Some people at another table got a club sandwich and the burger and both those looked fantastic. Plenty of parking too! I’d go back without hesitation!“

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

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

“Very clean and friendly staff. Food was very good.“

“We love this place! The food is consistently good and they have the best fish and chips in town. The bar is great and they have a nice selection. The staff are really wonderful and attentive. The whole place is clean with that substitute Irish Pub Character.

Parking: A really great place!“
