They have a huge menu and everything we have tried has been delicious. The cocktails are wonderful, and the service is too. Our server last night was Lance, and he was great. If you've never checked this place out, you must!  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I love this place not only because the food and atmosphere, but also because of their excellent service, everry time is a wonderful experience, this past weekend I had a special order request and Bela, our waitress brought my food exactly as I wanted, she was so nice, friendly and welcoming. There was also a time we came and they were very busy, they apologized and gave us some sweet bread when we sat so that we can have something to eat while we wait to be served; there was also a time that our order took a bit longer than usuall and they proactively gave us more bacon on our order. They really care about their customers, they make you feel appreciated, they make a difference, I always leave happy and wanting to come again.“

“Love love this place! Amazing food and drinks, service second to none, and they make such a fuss over our little Yorkie. Even have a dog menu.“

“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 food and drinks. Accurate, polite and quick service. If you like a sweet and spicy the mango habanero wings are great. Highly recommended“

“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.“

“"The food was very good. I ordered the pork chop and it was probably the best pork I have eaten in my life. James, our server, was top notch. My only complaint was the restaurant was cold and therefore the food cooled off right away."“

“We are new to the area and are seeking local places to try. Sunset Grill did not disappoint! The steak and burgers were outstanding and flavorful, and they had kid meals which is a plus. We ordered to-go, but the guy at the counter was so nice and friendly...that is rare these days. It's obvious you keep thriving because you use quality ingredients and employ talented, friendly people in the front and back of house. We will be back to try the whole menu!“

“Came here for the first time and was extremely pleased!!! Best reuben sandwich other than my own!!! Rye bread was top notch, toasted perfectly and the corned beef was stacked high and tender!!! I can't wait to visit this little deli again, they have plenty of sandwiches to choose from and a nice breakfast and dinner menu!!“

“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“

“I should have written this review ages ago. I would fly down with my mother from Ohio to visit our cousin Wayne Reid of clearwater, who passed away in 2018, and he took us to Tory’s a couple times. By far the best food, very friendly staff. I especially love your western omelets. Thank you for the providing fantastic service and excellent tasty food. when I think of your cafe. I think of my cousin, and I apologize that the photos are not in the cafe.“

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

“This ship was a good time. We took this dinner cruise for my birthday recently and it was not a disappointment. I gave 4 stars because the food could have better selections and more kid friendly. I suggest more of a variety like Pizza, hamburgers/ sliders, etc.“

“was fantastic - until now broccoli was hard butter you can't open (even the waiter couldn't) honey in packets that get honey on your fingers (where are the little "bear" containers? But I'm hoping for a comeback, I love this place!“

“Dinner at Smokey bones in Clearwater Florida. Enjoyed a salad with chicken. Was delicious. My husband had a bowl of stew with a side salad. We enjoyed our meal. We visited on a Sunday and it wasn’t very busy. Service was great. Our waitress was very attentive and polite. This Smokey bones has an outside sitting area also. Be sure to stop and co enjoy be a bite next time your in the area. We have been to this same restaurant a handful of times and always had a great experience. Plenty of parking here. Come see for yourself.“

“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.“

“What an amazing experience dining at this restaurant. Everything was delicious from the brussel sprouts, butternut squash ravioli and bodino dessert. Our server Brian was top notch. Plus a front seat view of a gorgeous sunset. We will definitely be back!l“

I appreciate the outstanding service and commend Alice for her professionalism. Thank you for making my visit so memorable.“

“Delicious and fresh fish. The live music was awesome! It was a wait, but so worth it. There are inside and outside options to eat. The sunset view is gourgeous!

Dietary restrictions: The server was kind to check what my daughter could and couldn't eat. She was safe eating here.“

“Really nice open environment on the water. Laid back vibes and outstanding food. Dee was terrific and really made the space feel friendly and welcoming. Chef came out to deliver the food and make sure we were happy with it. And we loved everything we got. Thanks to Dee, especially, and to the whole team for making it a great experience! We'll definitely be coming by Fridays to check out the live music and soak up some sunset time on the water.

Vegetarian options: Mac and cheese
French fries
Salad
Grilled corn and pepper
Tomato bisque“

“The bartender was great, she knew how to make several different types of drinks our group requested. It was very busy when we arrived and the bar staff made sure we were taken care of as quickly as possible.

Parking: This location is shared with the Home Depot, so you may have to search a minute to find a spot to park, but it's worth it.“

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

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

“Great atmosphere & food & hostesses“

“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.“

“My fiancé and I have been going to this Longhorn for years and absolutely love it. We always get the same thing (Flo’s filet, baked potato, caesar salad) and never get sick of it. Everyone is so friendly and we always get our food in a timely manner. Our server we’ve had tons of times is Mike and he is simply awesome. I don’t think we have ever been disappointed at Longhorn! What prompted me to write this review today was that I ordered a pickup order, but the only option they had was curbside which I felt awful about because it was about to storm. It was down pouring when I got there and the server ran out right on the exact minute I was supposed to get my food, I was apologizing profusely because I would’ve rather gone inside so nobody would get rained on, but she was SO kind and didn’t give me a hard time at all. We will always love this Longhorn location! Thank you guys!“

“This is probably the best Hooters location ever. I know it's the first. But it's also the best. Every time I come here I have a wonderful time. The food is always good. The service is impeccable. The girls are always super friendly and beautiful. I just can't say enough good things about this location. I highly recommend coming here and eating. It's just a blast.“

“Food is excellent. Service was not good. It took ten minutes to be acknowledged after being seated. And we were not asked if we wanted dessert when done. Is bread served with meal here?“

“Our favorite Sunset dinner spot. Great food, service, live music & sunset views. Ask for outside seating away from the band and enjoy the view. Even for lunch, the views are still pretty amazing of Clearwater Beach. It's Public Beach parking & usually crowded. We have never not found a spot to park. Even in the busy season. Full bar and the staff are attentive. Enjoy your dinner & a show.

Parking: Most of Clearwater parking uses the Park Mobile app. It's quick and easy. Kids show your parents if they have trouble.“

“This restaurant was great! The food was good, the service was on point with Kassie as our waitress and the view was wonderful on the 3rd floor taking advantage of the sunset and boat docks. If you want an outdoorsy type dinner and great views of the beach, gulf, and pier, this is the place to be! Kassie was great and very attentive! She took our pic of the wife and I while the sun was setting on our anniversary. She came to our table to make sure the sun was setting to get the best pic. It had to be done within minutes, or you can miss the moment. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back as soon as I can. My wife had the salmon and I had the Cajun chicken pasta (photos attached). We were so satisfied! Almost forgot to mention the desert, I had the key lime cheesecake and my wife had the bananas foster cheesecake ? wonderful!“

“Amazing service! I’ve ordered from Joe’s 3 times now and the food is so good. Quality meats, and sandwiches. Portion sizes are phenomenal. Love all the add on choices and menu. Definitely a frequent customer from now on!“

“Our server. Was shy but very attentive. There was alot of older people there so I thought the food was going to be very bland and mediocre. For the prices , you can't beat it. I had a waffle and French toast. It was all very good. I ate it all. I would definitely go back.“

“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.“

“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.“
