Rusty Bellies Waterfront Grill, Inc.

Rusty Bellies Waterfront Grill is fantastic! The food was excellent, the drinks were great, and the service was some of the friendliest we’ve experienced in a long time. We’ll definitely be back!

Highly recommended by vendors on the strip... But I think they get a kickback because there is very limited parking. There is waiting lines. The food was marginal at best. Service was slow, servers were good but it was crowded which necessitated slow service. Definitely overrated. Trust me, there are better alternatives in Tarpon Springs.

Unpaved parking lot. Lack of handicapped spaces. I had the mussels and they were not prepared in the white wine broth I am accustomed to. I also ordered the blackened grouper tacos . They were good, the flavor of the rice and beans I did not prefer. Cocktail arrived mid mesl, others at the table got drinks at onset. I want to try it again and select other options.

They have the best grouper in Tampa

Great food. Great service. And, ON THE WATER! What more could you ask for?!?

The whole belly clams are great.

Highly Recommend if you are Blind or Visually Impaired

I went to Rusty Bellies with my sighted friend. When our waiter, Adam, brought my drink, he noticed me searching for the straw and he pointed me right to where it was. I asked him for a few minutes, because I was using my smart glasses to read the menu which he said was completely fine. I ordered the surf and turf, so I asked if I could have my steak cut up into bight sized pieces. He took the time to verify exactly what I wanted and when the food came, he asked me if it was all right, which of course, it was done to perfection. During the meal, another woman came up to fill up our waters, and she told me right where to put my glass so she could reach it. When Adam brought our bill, he read it to me before I even asked him.
In all, the food was amazing, and the service was wonderful. I highly recommend it!

I live out of state but have been here four times. I’ve never been disappointed! Fresh seafood! Friendly servers and fun atmosphere.

Great option for seafood!

One of my all time favorite waterfront restaurants. The staff is always great, and the food is incredibly good. Love Rusty Bellies!
