Tarpon Bay Grill & Tiki Bar

Super affordable, they have a great happy hour, find out what hours by stopping by 😉
Been here 3 nights in a row and the place hits. Don’t miss on the ice cold draft beer. Food is great, don’t miss on the boiled peanuts. The smash burger is fire.
Out here on July 5th, my wife and mines wedding anniversary and the place never misses. They offer live music, on July 4th, 2026, they had the Silver Thunder band and it was amazing. Don’t let this little spot slip.

Atmosphere was amazing. Super cute and fun. Drinks were great. View is beautiful. Wings were over cooked and the nachos had fake movie theater cheese but the bang bang shrimp and mahi bowls were very good.

Didn't get to eat there but it was really nice!!!! Looks lively and fun!

Really enjoy this place. Our waiter, Jack, was a lot of fun and did a great job. They already add the tip on the check so be careful.

Love the open seating beside the water and dog friendly! Great oysters ! Great service Thanks Aaraina🙏👍

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If bartending were an Olympic sport, Erica would have more gold medals than Michael Phelps.
Erica isn't just a bartender—she's a magician, therapist, comedian, and drink wizard all rolled into one. I walked in stressed, thirsty, and questioning my life choices. Within minutes, Erica had me laughing, holding the perfect cocktail, and convinced that maybe everything was going to be okay after all.
Her drinks are so good I'm fairly certain they're powered by sorcery. She remembers orders better than I remember my own phone number, and somehow manages to keep everyone happy even when the bar is packed. I've seen less multitasking from air traffic controllers.
If you're sitting at Erica's bar, prepare for excellent drinks, great conversation, and the strong possibility that you'll leave with new friends and a new favorite bartender. Management should probably put her under lock and key because other bars are definitely trying to steal her.
10/10. Five stars. Two thumbs up. Would gladly let Erica make all my life decisions from now on. 🍸😂👏

This was totally AI but if I wasn't so drunk I would have written it myself!

Started off a little rocky. Jack (I’m bad with names, but I think that’s it) was our waiter. Really attentive even during high workloads. Ordered fish tacos and beer. The fish tacos were great, flaky and flavorful. The beer was ice cold. Got the gator bites as a side, they were pretty good. Desert ended up being a piña colada. Nothing to write home about, but was refreshing and tasty.

If you’re a pilot or a plane nerd, this is an awesome place to go. There were plenty of planes flying overhead departing SRQ.

All in all, it was a good experience. I travel quite a lot and keep a list of restaurants to return to during my travels. This restaurant made the list :)

Erica was an amazing bartender at the tiki bar overlooking the bay. The drinks were great. The service was friendly, and the view made the experience even better. The manager, Jessica was also wonderful and make sure everything ran smoothly.
