50 Best American Restaurants near Indian Shores

“This restaurant is all about the ambiance and the service. The food was just ok, definitely not what I expected. I had the Thai Style Salmon on the recommendation of our server. I could hardly taste the coconut and no red curry flavor came through at all. I felt the same about my cocktail...it was just ok. I give the service and ambiance 5 stars, but the food gets 3 stars from me.“

“Love this place. The wings are absolutely amazing! Special shout out to the bartender Alex who always gives us great, super friendly service. Also nice they have darts. Seems like there’s only a couple places left in the area that have them anymore.“

“La Croisette is the absolute best breakfast spot in St Pete Beach! We had breakfast there twice while on vacation. We tried the quiche and the croissant breakfast sandwich, both were outstanding! Lisa our server was a gem! Will definitely dine here again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Despite having a large group of 14 people, Tiffany did a fantastic job of taking care of our group. She paid special attention to the numerous dietary restrictions and made sure everyone in our group found food they enjoyed. When one dish did not meet the dietary needs, she sent it back to the kitchen to be remade. Tiffany was positive and enthusiastic the entire meal.Everyone’s food was delicious. We got a wide variety of food from both the appetizers and main courses.The only complaint we had was the noise level. While the live band was a fun addition, their music was up way too high. It was so hard it made it difficult to talk with anyone the table and even made ordering difficult. Management, please take note that your patrons want to be able to talk at their table without feeling the need to yell to be heard by the person next to them.I would definitely eat here again assuming the music level was at a lower level.“

“We always make sure to stop at Badfins Food + Brew every time we go to Clearwater. The food is very tasty and love to try many of the different local craft beer selections. Jessica, our server was great, knowledgeable and friendly when we had questions for her. Can’t wait to go back on our next Clearwater vacation. Highly recommend!“

“Lauren is the best server! She engaged in conversation, she was extremely attentive to the table. The manger Christine made sure to stop by to see if we needed anything. It was a 5 star dining experience. Thank you Millers Ale House at the Seminole Center, Seminole FL.Kid-friendliness: I have a special needs child and they were so kind, caring and attentive.“

“we are from Toledo, OH and we came down to clear water a few years ago and tried Torys, it was great! we had to come back again just for the breakfast and hospitality. Tory is awesome!! we will be here everytime we visit. If you are in the area, must try!“

“DENISE IS AMAZING! The most positive energy ever she made us feel like home. Best service out there and plus the food options are amazing I was actually annoyed because there were too many good options to choose from I couldn’t make a choice. COME HERE!“

“It was a pleasant experience.The server was attentive and nice.The food was good and came with proper timing.Overall, I would definitely be back!Parking: It was located about a block away in a vacant lot reserved for the restaurant customers only.“

“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!“

“Great food, excellent service and a crazy amount of brews on tap. Can't say enough about the meatball sliders - you must get them if you go here. Pizza was delicious too - just didn't have enough room after the wings and sliders. I love that you can get the pizza by the slice without buying a whole pie. We live North of Tampa but would definitely drive to St. Pete Beach just for this place.“

“I have been eating here for years. I truly enjoy this spot. I was a little disappointed when I called ahead to make reservation. I was told they were booked for the whole day. Mind you I am sitting on the beach across the street. I was leaving to go find some lunch and walked past the resturant. Completely empty. I was confused. I walked up and they told me they were not taking on line reservations so they could seat walk ins…I felt like they did not want my business that day. I am hopeful this is a one off situation. I truly enjoy dinning here.“

“I have been here twice and would go back again. The eggs Benedict are delicious and so are the hash browns! Food comes out pretty quickly too. The service is decent and every person that walks past your table carries a pot of coffee when not delivering food. And, that brings me to the one complaint that I have.... the coffee is lousy! Please, please, please get different beans. The prices have gone up recently but it's still worth it. 4 stars only for the coffee“

“The food is amazing! All the reviews were spot on. The service was fast and so hospitable. Joe the owner spent time out of his day to chat with us too. Will definitely be coming back!Kid-friendliness: They had an outdoor area with kid stuff to play with“

“We were only in town for 5 days but we liked this place enough we came back 3 times. The biscuits are delicious and the staff is amazing. Everything we got from here was some of the greatest food around. The diner is surrounded with sports memorabilia and some of the ceiling tiles are painted with jokes all throughout the restaurant. Even when it was busy, there was a short wait time and very attentive staff.“

“Our group of 4 all had different entrees and they were excellent. My old fashioned was awesome for a drink. Service was solid. It's a nice place inside but view to the gulf is obstructed by the hotel pool so that was the only downfall I noted.“

“I’m sitting here is a super clever and creative spot listening to Brass Monkey on the radio! The food is absolutely amazing. I do agree it wasn’t super fast to get the food. But it is so amazing I have no complaints and find it absolutely worth the wait!!!The Mac and cheese rib is divine, as are the gyro and vegetarian sandwiches. Delicious loaded tots. The Purple Drank is great!! Bring a big appetite with you!!!Absolutely come in person. The atmosphere puts it over the top (and less than the prices on door dash too). The staff is so friendly and engaging.Enjoy!“

“2pm on a Sunday in April and we were seated immediately with fantastic waterside seating. Didn't catch our server's name, but she was knowledgeable, friendly and had great timing. For food, we ordered: boom boom shrimp, a crab cake, street corn, the red gulf grouper with cheese grits & the Atlantic grouper with beans and rice. For drinks: Peach Sangria and Blue Lightning. Every single bite and sip was heaven. Fish was fresh, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Definitely come back here again and definitely would recommend.“

“We were here on an earlier Friday evening and had to wait about 45 minutes until we could get a table. The quality of the food is absolutely great!! The filet mignon was wonderfully tender and tasted absolutely delicious!! Unfortunately, the meat was quite oversalted and my wife's lobster was quite heavily peppered. The salad was one of the best I ate during our stay in the USA. The service was good and attentive. It's a shame that the chef went overboard with the spices. That's why only 4 stars!“

“Beautiful location. For a place with an Irish name, I expected to see more items that I ate in Ireland on the menu, but the food that they did have was good. I enjoyed the lobster BLT. The cucumber salad isn't what you would expect a cucumber salad to be, but it's still good.We had a large group and we THINK some of us ended up paying for other's orders, but we have no idea because we weren't shown itemized receipts before we paid. Which is bad customer service and definitely necessary for large groups.“

“Really enjoyed this place! We had a recomendation from a local and it didn’t disappoint food was great and atmosphere was good. Our server was Chase. He was super polite and helpful. We asked for some recommendations and he delivered. Very attentive as well. Ask for him as your server ◡̈ good place.“

“I saw this on the news mentioned to my wife. She works in Clearwater we meet for lunch on occasion. We enjoyed our food is was great and filling. We will be returning this place was really a great find. The owner was super nice and took his time to speak to us about the concept. We will be returning.“

“Excellent place in Clearwater Beach. The shrimp were so large and fresh it was incredible. The stuffed grouper was really tasty. Service was great, and the prices weren't bad considering we were right on the docks and in the heavy tourist area.“

“I have been to E&E multiple times. My mom loves to go when she comes in. This time however, was disappointing. They had changed up the menu, the tacos were the best thing they had for lunch. The chicken on the salad for the lunch special was particularly bland. I had the Bellaire chicken, and it was so greasy, I felt like I was on an episode of The Trailer Park boys. They also started charging per person for the no longer complimentary bread and oil. All in all, E&E did not live up to the hype we have given it in years past.Kid-friendliness: They had a kid menu, and I did take my 2.5 year old son, however I wouldn’t call it kid friendly.“

“The food was served quickly and proper temperature. I had the crepes and they were delicious, my husband had the big breakfast and he liked it also. Service was prompt and courteous, great kudos to Laty (hope I spelled it right). Good coffee too. We will definitely go there again.“

“Friendly, delicious and reasonably priced little diner that my son and I made an unexpected stop for breakfast and we will definitely go back. The food came out fast, hot and fresh in good sized portions and our server was very nice and accommodated my son with his random requests!Kid-friendliness: The staff was very friendly and patient with my son“

“We took a chance on this spot and truly enjoyed every moment of our experience. It was chilly and rainy, and the place was packed with locals. Our servers were pleasant and welcoming, we were really made to feel welcome. My dad loved the place so much we returned to enjoy our last dinner in Clearwater. The energy was great. The drinks were great. The food was impressive. This little bar tucked away in a small shopping center is definitely worth a visit.Parking: It's a smal shopping center, parking was tight, but we quickly found a spot.“

“Ordered a board walk burger and fries, my family visiting from canada had the fish and chips . Service and food was excellent and our server Aurora was sweet and delightful. I always take my friends there because the food never disappoints!“

“I’ve been seeing the gateway subs guys on instagram and realized the Pasadena location was on my way home yesterday. I ordered online. Their website allows you to order and customize your meal very well. It was easy to place and pay for the order online. I swung by on my way home and my order was done 10 min early. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I’m so glad I saw them on IG because it’s in a strip mall and I might not have noticed it otherwise. It’s just on the east side of the Corey Ave bridge so it’s very convenient for people coming or going to the beach. Oh…and the sandwiches were GREAT!“

“Don't let the location and appereance fool you. I have my share of mexican placea and tbis is one of the best I have tried.Their pico de gallo is fantaatic. We tried a different variety of dishes and all of them were great. Highly recommended.“

“I have been to Stella’s many times and it’s always great service and nice atmosphere. The food can be hit or miss, I would stick to diner classics, the French toast and pancakes are pretty good.I wasn’t crazy about the Benedict. This time I ordered the key lime blt with mahi and with potato salad and it was alright. The sourdough bread was good but I got a really weird piece for one of the half’s. Potato salad was average. Come here for the good vibes and people and ask for a recommendation on what to order.“

“Suzi’s is Satisfying Suzi’s is a popular breakfast/lunch restaurant. The place is clean, the servers are efficient and nice and the prices are fair. We were there for breakfast and I had the scrambled eggs with French toast and link sausage. I appreciate French toast that is properly cooked and isn’t soggy in the middle and this was just right. My wife had the Spanish omelet which was large and tasty. The coffee was good and hot. Nice place and we’ll return.“

“Had an absolutely amazing meal here tonight, perfect for a date night out. If you’re looking for a place that truly cherishes the culinary experience this is your spot! Every part of our meal perfectly complemented the next, our waiter was extremely personable & attentive, truly one of the best meals we’ve had in our area. Highly recommend. Thank you to everyone involved!“

“When I die, I hope someone makes a bar like this and names it after me being dead. The food is good enough, the service staff is friendly, food is too affordable. (They should be charging more, from a business stability standpoint.) But it’s the indoor-outdoor vibe that puts it over the top. Burgers and fish tacos are solid. Pickle chips are made fresh. Philly egg roll was a salt bomb. Parking is limited. Don’t miss this place. Very, very St. Pete, circa 1983.“

“We regularly eat at Clear Sky for both dinner and breakfast. Every single visit, the food is on point and the service is excellent. It’s extremely clean and bright. Their menu is huge - they have something for everyone. Everything is done perfectly. Our young kids love it as well. Definitely a place for a date night or family night. Tonight was the first night we ever had an “issue”. It was our online order- it didn’t make it back to the kitchen. 4 different staff members and the manager immediately jumped on it. Their customer service is top notch.Love having this in Seminole.“

“Stopped here while passing through Clearwater beach. I was looking online for somewhere new to try for lunch and they had good reviews online. It was pretty busy when we got there on a nice Tuesday around 2 pm. We were immediately greeted by the bartenders who kept an eye out for us to get us a couple of seats at the bar. The drinks are a little more expensive, but you’re paying for the view and the service which were both great. We ordered the pork nachos ($12 at happy hour) and they were massive. You can easily split this as a meal between 2 adults with no problem. The nachos were really good too. Anybody can do nachos, but these are tasty. We didn’t make it to any other food because we were full off of just that. I would definitely recommend this spot to anybody wanting a good spot on the water for lunch. Side note: the pina colada was delicious with a toasted coconut rim.“

“The food here is great! The portions are absolutely mammoth so bring your appetite. Unfortunately most of it doesn't "to go" well so I feel like we wasted a bit of food. The prices are great and they do have specials as well. The staff is attentive but the place is packed so recognize you might wait a minute or two longer.“

“The food was excellent. We got the shrimp tacos and buffalo chicken appetizer. Overall cool vibes with good tunes playing in the background. We sat outside and it was a lovely afternoon lunch. We also brought our small kids so it was nice to have a shady spot in their outdoor dining area to spread out a little so us mom's could enjoy a nice lunch and a beverage while the kiddies napped. Bookmarking this spot Visiting from @cattlemanscoffee in Michigan Update to this review: it was so good we had to come back the next day for lunch. Equally as enjoyable the second visit, too!“

“Decided to check out sauced sports bar glad I did, what a find. When we walked in we were greeted and told to sit anywhere we liked. Started out with the zucchini fries very tasty. Next I tried the bone in wings garlic Parmesan very good also. And last pizza mainly veggies also very good. Would definitely be back. Seems like a great place to hang out and listen to music we were just having dinner but would be back just to hang out.“

“I absolutely love this restaurant!! This is the second year in a row that my partner and I celebrated our anniversary at the Restorative and let me tell you they did not disappoint either time. They have such great service and such a nice atmosphere not to mention the delicious food they serve. I cannot recommend the Restorative enough!!!!“

“I personally wrote mgmt about how amazing Starlite was with and for us for our wedding day just this past Saturday! Initially guided by Teresa and Leslie who were spot on organized and made life easy for us, we were then handed over to Ted for coordinating and to be our personal assistant. Ted was phenomenal!!!!! He cared about every detail along with us. Ted made sure that he was not only in the initial planning stage but lived it with us! Being there on our wedding day, Ted made sure that everything we put down on our itinery was met 100%. Starlite gets 5 stars for providing great services and a great staff. Ted gets 5 starts for getting it done, hands on and again, leading the way all the way through till the end. Stephanie, the DJ, was so awesome!! Easy to work with and so pumped the crowd up. She wanted to make the party rock, which it did! Everyone who flew in from around the country for a weekend in St. Pete for the wedding, are saying it was the best wedding they went to because it was "an experience" on a yacht, tour, great service, great staff, great experience. Our social media clips etc have 1,000s of views because of the presentation and live action onboard. I highly recommend having you event here. We will definitely plan anniversaries etc using Starlite. And Ted, is our friend now! (When I can add video clips soon, I'll update this review with video clips) 5 stars“

“All I can say is “Wow”! Jess P was amazing, she guided us through the tequila selections they offered and made an awesome margarita! The fish is so fresh and the baird crab is a must! She really knows her stuff! We love you and we will be back, and we hope you’re not traveling when we come to visit!“

“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.“

“Fun place with great live music. We had an issue with the front host being incredibly rude and wanting to split our party of 8 and said we could not split a bill if we sat all together. The GM resolved it quickly and kindly. Servers were friendly. We only had drinks here“

“I came here on April 12, 2024 and I really enjoyed the food that I brought home. I do enjoy the service I got from the bartender and how attentive she was when a guy was giving me a hard time at the bar. But, the bartender and other nice woman and also the bar owner handle the tough situation w/ the guy b/c he was coming on way too strong. Thank You To Everyone that Helped Me In that Crazy Situation with that Unstable Guy. I only gave 3 stars for the Atmosphere b/c of that aggressive guy. But, I did enjoy BINGO on that Friday Night. I just debating on going back there with my mother b/c I would want here to have a Good Experience.“

“Stopped in for a bite when we were on vacation and everything was sooo good!! That cinnamon butter and those rolls were sooo yummy!! Our favorite part was our server Justine, so helpful and such a good vibe (she definitely needs a raise). All in all great experience and I will definitely be back!!!“

“Gabe the bartender and Sixty the bartender are the best! Service is awesome! Watching the KC and Ravens place crowded. Still awesome service! Locals make it even better. Bartenders enjoy interacting with customers making you feel special even when you don’t know anyone.“

“They have a sloppy joe it's made from scratch that is so delicious I can't even describe it along with their made from scratch soups you can pretty much point to anything on the menu and it's delicious and the prices are really low cuz they cater to the elderly like the sloppy joe with one side I always get the tater tots only$ 7.99“

“Guac and salsa were great. A little packed with people for my liking but does not take reservations so at least we got seated and offered a drink. Their margaritas a step above their house offering were good. My entree choice was out of my normal selection so a little disappointed on boldness of flavor but that was my own fault. Service was great!“

“I came in for breakfast and ordered a VIB I had a strawberry crepe and it was absolutely delicious. I was served by Diana and she not only rocked the floor she made sure I was okay she made conversation with me which sometimes doesn’t happen so I appreciated her friendliness if you ever go to this village inn you have to ask for Diana (she elevates the entire experience thank you Diana!!)Dietary restrictions: I don’t eat pork and they had other options of meat which some breakfast restaurants don’t have.“
