“DeLukas is our new favorite restaurant! The owners, Z and Darina are so passionate about this restaurant and have put their heart and soul into it’s food and atmosphere. The classic Eastern European decor makes us feel like we are back in Croatia, beautiful, relaxing, and unrushed. We are always greeted warmly, and the service is wonderful! The wide variety of food choices, all handmade, make it difficult to choose! Everything we have eaten has just been delicious! We always accompany our meal with a bottle of Croatian wine, equally as delicious! We always recommend this restaurant to our friends!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bacon Street, and I must say it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The restaurant sets itself apart in so many ways from its commitment to crafting dishes from scratch to its exceptional awareness of food allergies and dietary restrictions. Thank you to the entire team at Bacon Street for an unforgettable meal!”

“Nice People, Good Food This is for their Daily News Cafe on Belcher. It was a busy Saturday evening and we didn’t have a reservation. The very nice staff found us a place. They took care of us promptly and efficiently in a friendly manner. We started with the Daily News Shrimp appetizer which was delicious. We moved on to the Chicken Marsala which was very good and the Grilled Branzino which was even better. It was nice to have a meal that included some vegetables. That’s hard to find these days. The servings were large enough to have some leftovers—always appreciated. I do wish their wine list was a little better and cocktails would have been nice. In any case, the nice staff make up for any shortcomings. I’ll be back and I’d like to try their other location on Ft Harrison in Clearwater.”
“I had a great dinner again last night. Crispy Brussel Sprouts and Bucatini Clams with Fresh linguini. So good. The clams were a nice size from Cedar Keys, FL northeast of us in the Pan Handle. Then I splurged and got the Banana creme pie that they are also so well known for. My partner always loved that pie, so I got a piece in his memory. Hey it was amazing. Super friendly servers and very busy place, but you’re never ignored. Great Job!”
“This place is the real deal. The Veal Piccata is probably one of my favorite dishes I've had at an Italian restaurant. The service was amazing. Ambiance is just what you want from an authentic old-school restaurant.”

“Me and my husband used CaraMel's Bakery for our wedding cake and it was fabulous! We sat down with the baker and chose three different flavors for our cake and showed her a picture of how we'd like the cake. The wedding was a Harry Potter themed wedding and she followed everything in the picture and more! The cake was gorgeous and was truly magical. If you need a cake for your wedding, DO NOT HESITATE to contact CaraMel's Bakery.”
“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!”
“My mom and I tried broccoli cheese soup, Philly Cheesesteak pie, Green Chile Chicken pie, peach pie & guava pie and all were delicious! Valerie even included a corn muffin with the soup. Met Valerie and her nephew and both were so nice. We’ll definitely be back! There’s really only one table to sit at so it’s more of a to go spot. Valerie also makes all her jams & jellies & cookies & some other snacks that looked good.”

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!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Indian restaurant offering an all-you-can-eat buffet, and it was a delightful experience. The variety and quality of the dishes were outstanding, each item bursting with freshness and flavor. I highly recommend giving it a try, even if you're not accustomed to diverse cuisines. The buffet allows you to sample a little bit of everything, making it a foolproof way to discover new favorites. My picky eater kids were thrilled to find numerous dishes they loved, indulging in plate after plate of delicious food. A truly satisfying dining adventure for the whole family!”

“Great food. Very popular. The last time we went there we were greeted by a gruff cranky short remark from the lady who stated “we are closed “ and away she went. One time we saw an elderly woman fall backwards on her high chair.”

“Super delicious coffee and chill atmosphere! I love the decoration and attention to detail they put into Bonsai. Their coffee is delicious - so far I've tried their rose iced latte, their Kyoto cold brew (YUM) and their whipped coffee. Even my husband who is not a coffee drinker likes their stuff! What's nice is that the coffee is strong without being bitter. Will be back :)”
“Stopped in to watch the sunset from the roof top bar and was not disappointed. Amazing drinks served by super friendly and knowledgeable staff! Shout out to Devon who dropped some great Tiki knowledge on us while making some delicious drinks! Really great view of the sunset going down over the water. Definitely will be back!”

There are tables outside to sit as well.If you looking for different specialty coffee flavors and dessert this is the place for you.”

“From outstanding service to outstanding food, this place is top 3 restaurants I have ever been to. If there's a place that can give Hells Kitchen in Vegas (my #1) a run for it's money, it's this place.When they heard it was our first ever visit, not only did they give us a discount card to use in the future but the manager personally stopped at our table to see how things were. The waiter was top notch. I can't say enough about the service.We ordered appetizer of lobster deviled eggs with jalapeño and French onion soup to start. Both were fantastic. If it wasn't so fancy of a place, I would have drank my soup from the bowl, it was that good. Then came the entrees of Shrimp pasta and crab stuffed grouper. Pasta was handmade and the Geouper is fresh from the docks 15 mins away. Just amazing dishes. Then finished with desserts of bread pudding and a waffle dish. I almost refused to share with the wife. The bread pudding was so delicious!!Bottom line, if you go to Clearwater/Tampa, you HAVE to go to Bascoms. I'd say even if you're in Key West, drive the 6 hours to Bascoms”
“We highly recommend Indian Bistro! The service is outstanding- friendly and helpful with a large menu. The food is delicious- perfectly cooked and seasoned for a variety of tastes. We recently moved to Clearwater and I have just found my favorite restaurant! Go and try for yourself. You won’t regret it!!”
“Great restaurant, excellent food and presentation, staff going the extra mile to make your evening perfect. Owner is from Catania Sicily. He and his wife are the sweetest people. You will definitely enjoy this restaurant ???”
“I went there with my family for the first time as my son did a tour upstairs of the building and it was so good we came back today! The breakfast special was our favorite. And Dan is super nice. My son loved talking to him and he was very kind to him. We will definitely need to come back again soon! Thank you for your service, Dan!”
“Food was great and affordable! Service was amazing! We went back several times and always requested Jade for our waitress! She’s so down to earth and is amazing at her job!”
“P. F. Chang’s is one of our absolute favourite restaurants - try their famous signature lettuce wraps, their combo platter of roasted miso carrots, Mongolian beef and noodles, or their smoked cocktail - beyond expectations!Parking: Easy to find in the shopping mall parking lot”
“I just love this place. For what it is, it's the best around. Forget about the other similar places with more famous names and inconsistent meals. Palm Pavilion has consistently served the best, freshest grouper sandwiches, drinks, and friendly service. We don't even bother taking company any place else any more.”
“Very nice pho! We ordered the summer roll as well, which is absolutely a must have. Staffs are friendly, environment is clean and tidy. The chili is also delicious, with spicy certification from Chengdu, Sichuan?”
“First time here. Ambiance, location, people, and management top notch.Lobster rolls excellent. Chicken parm sandwich excellent. Wife had the salad with blackened salmon. More food than you could eat in one place.”
“We have ordered the meatballs in the past, which are fantastic, but today we ordered the Stromboli, and I can honestly say, this is deeeelicious. I hope they keep this on the menu.”
“Had dinner with my love on Valentines Day. The menu was wonderful and the food was delicious and beautifully served. Our server, Renee, was so great. Next we go upstairs to the bar.”
“Quaint little Mexican restaurant. It is a little weird when you first walk in there’s no one to greet you, but someone said sit wherever you like after a little bit. The server came by super quick and got our order in fast. The food came out super quick and they gave us chips and salsa while we waited. The food was very flavorful. I ordered the pollo with mole sauce. I would definitely return!”
“The Clear Sky family of restaurants is always a winner. This was our first time in the downtown Clearwater location. The food was delicious. There was a fantastic variety on the menu. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Service was friendly.”
“The best Olive Garden in Pinellas. Everytime we come, we consistently have good service and the bread and food is hot and fresh.Other locations in Pinellas are not consistent and usually mediocre.”
“My husband and I decided to try this spot out today - it’s so hidden and the back patio has a great view of some water however the inside leaves much to be desired. The staff however were super friendly! We felt very well taken care of and they had awesome attitudes as servers. The food was very good. I had the potato crisp which had every good tasting food ever inside - hash browns, bacon, cheese, caramelized onions - sooo good! My husband got the filet mignon and eggs. He loved it - he just wished the filet was bigger than just a bite or two because he said it tasted fantastic. We also split an elaborate breakfast sandwich which was pretty good ??Overall, I would come back here eventually because it was tasty and the staff was friendly but I don’t think I’d come out of my way to come here regularly. Definitely worth a try though if you’re looking for a new spot!”
“A super nice little neighborhood tavern. The bartenders were very attentive and greeted everyone even before they sat down. Great atmosphere, everyone talked to everyone, it really didn't matter who you were. This was our first time here and we struck up several conversations with people whom we never met. We made a few friends and I'm looking forward to going back. The food was pretty good and came out hot and fast.”

“Very friendly staff and great food. I have a serious love for breakfast composed of fried eggs, corned beef hash and home fries. Needless to say. Everything was cooked to perfection.The restaurant was clean with a homey feel.The free parking area is a bit small and if there is another lot available, I didn't see it. My advice, get there early and enjoy your meal before the crowd arrives.I will definately be returning.”
“I've never had their lunch because their All-Star breakfast is so good I have to get it every time! Particularly love the waffles and the hashbrowns. Always clean, staff are nice and attentive.”
“Amazing service at this location! Our server Kelsey was so accommodating, understanding and on the ball! We chatted up a lovely server about to start her shift, Susan, and learned about what it means to wear a "master" hat. I would recommend this location to anyone in the area! Lastly, the manager, Selma was leading by example which ya love to see in a leader!10/10 would visit again. ?”
“This is the best place to get gas on the way to TPA airport. It is right before the bridge when coming from Clearwater, and it has many pumps. I also heard it has great fresh food inside and nice employees. It is very near the Fairfield Inn.”
“Came in on a busy lunch rush hour. Aaron the assistant manager and the lady with him were phenomenal. Talk about a domino effect! Food was precise and service was top notch! The cleanliness of the restaurant was perfect!”
“Stopped by here with a friend for breakfast today. I had not been to an IHOP in a decade or more! What a pleasant experience. We were greeted by a gal at the reception podium and then taken by another gal to our booth. Both made us feel welcome. The place was 3/4 full and all people had food on their plates. Within a minute our waitress, Katie, stopped by with menus. She was a perfect waitress as she was pleasant and professional. She came by a number of times to check on us to see if we needed anything. We overheard her taking orders from other customers, and she was just as pleasant. The food came out correctly, was hot, and was plentiful. I looked over at the full IHOP menu, and the offerings seemed appealing. Definitely will be worth another visit.”
“I get their great coffees. If you go to the right one the employees make great ? BUT I have had a few experiences, and I was disappointed. But overall, it is the only GAS STATION I will order food.”
“Girl , i didn't get a name , working night shift Tonight, Monday/4/24 @4.15 amIs most definitely extremely valuable employee to this McDonald's location.She was extremely hospitable and carrying about customers needs.I honestly can say that I had best experience visiting this McDonald's location then any other I ever been too.Yo rock!!!”
“This is my regular breakfast spot. Whoever owns and manages this location is doing a excellent job training staff and beautiful landscaping.I come here for the hot breakfast and big smiles! A true leader in this massive franchise. Much love”
“I went for coffee and to put together a bid. Which took several hours, the manager was accommodating to those who needed to charge and work uninterrupted. The food there is always made fresh and piping ”
“Food is always hot and fresh.Service is superb.New decor is open and airy...love it.Landscaped like Florida should be...palm trees. Nice all around.Parking: 25 + open parkingKid-friendliness: Lots of room to run and playWheelchair accessibility: Yes.. ramp”

“This place had the best food on our trip! Quality and flavor were excellent. 1/2lb burgers cooked to order. Stuffed Jalapeños were perfect! Their food was so good I was compelled to order dessert. I would give 10 stars if it was an option.”
“We only had drinks and listened to live music, but both were good. The bar was clean, even the bathroom.It is a decently vented smoking bar. If you don't smoke, you probably won't enjoy it.”

“This place was recommended by a local. It was not too busy, close enough to hotels and airport. It had Buffalo Wild Wings vibes to me but in a garage setting.The food was pretty good. I'm sad that we didn't try the wings now! They are supposed to be really good!”
“#IYKYK Skyline Chili is a Cincinnati staple. And no matter the location, the delicious combination of spaghetti, chili, cheese, bean, and onions never disappoints. This particular location is filled with great Cincinnati memorabilia, great staff, and the same smell and tastes Cincy natives have come to appreciate. Great stuff! It’s always Skyline time!”
“we didn't really care for the food. the fries had a grease taste and the gyro sauce tasted funny. the prices are quite high. for 3 people it was over 60.00 for gyros fries and drinks. we should have gone somewhere else for those prices. The add on combo options were really ridiculous. A gyro for 12.00 wow. I won't be back.”
“Rita's is a family tradition that now extends two generations. We go to Rita's for any family accomplishment, or just because it's a Friday night. With quality flavored ices that have a good flavor rotation, and that classic custard, there's always something for everyone. Best order option is a Gelati with two ice flavors sandwiched between layers of custard.”

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 is cooked to order and is excellent. The building is a hard luck location, but for MB most of their business is either delivery or drive through. The dining room is worn but scrupulously clean, as are the restrooms. It isn't really a place to go out of your way for, but if you're in the area and want a nice little seafood restaurant then you would not go wrong by coming here.Parking: The place is in the middle of a massive parking crater. Much of the complex is vacant, so parking will not be a problem.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no booths, and every table in the dining room is wheelchair accessible.”
“I take my staff to any celebration at this place, and we never leave disappointed! The food is great, service is amazing and the atmosphere is great!Phil is the best!”
“Have heard a lot of things about the food here was super excited! I came in one worker was super friendly and helpful. But when we were ordering the lady taking the order was rude, not nice, gave us the wrong price amount, then got mad when i asked about it. but the place is clean and cute.”
“Fast and delicious. Though not a real problem, I guess my only criticism is that the powdered protein wasn't blended quite well enough. It had a lot of gritty lumps. Again, not a big deal, as it didn't affect the flavor.”
“I absolutely love this Chick-fil-A!? It's always a pleasure to visit!Parking: Available spots always.Kid-friendliness: Play ground for our children.Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair friendly”
“I believe it was a manager but she went above and beyond this morning for my son who is an extremely picky eater and only wanted French fries this morning for breakfast. They were still about an hr out from starting to serve lunch and she over heard and came over and asked if that’s all he wanted which yes it was and said she would go make him some. Ended up with some extra and asked my daughter if she would like them. Made my kids day which in return made mine. Thank you!!!”
“Murray is absolutely wonderful in your drive-thru!! I needed help w my app and he was more than willing to help w the most positive attitude!! I appreciate him being so patient & kind while helping me, bc I was a mess lol Thanks again Murray!! ( younger w longer curly ish hair & a wonderful smile!!) (Saturday night just before closing)”
“I'm not from the area but wanted to stop as soon as I saw the name. Happy to learn there is a larger establishment for next time I'm down this way.The concept is great as the food didn't feel like fast food but more like take out from a regular barstaurant.It was later in the evening and likely not a popular night as there was no one else in line, but we waited 10+ minutes for the food. To be clear, this is not a complaint, but it is what drove me to lookup the story behind the establishment. Again, not from the area so I was expecting more "fast food" wait times give it is a drive thru. So, if you're looking for fast food, I suggest looking elsewhere. If you want restaurant quality wings and don't want to get out of your car, then try them out.I'll check out the full restaurant experience next time.”
“Great restaurant, excellent food and presentation, staff going the extra mile to make your evening perfect. Owner is from Catania Sicily. He and his wife are the sweetest people. You will definitely enjoy this restaurant ???”
“Trust me Charlie is the BEST❤️ you haven’t had sushi until you have had Charlie’s. I have been a loyal customer for many years.”
“Well since I arrived in Clearwater Beach driving all night long my long time friend recommended this place for breakfast since we arrived in the morning. He said it was the best and from what experience it was. They made the best Florentine eggs benedict. The spinach was fresh the eggs didn't taste stale in between the bread underneath the eggs benedict. The Belgium waffle was so so ok however I discovered coconut syrup which I never heard of usually when it comes to pancakes and waffles and that's what made the Belgian waffles better it's their proprietary condiment here. The server was responsive and happy. The hash browns was decent. I usually like my hash browns shredded than chunky cut thus 4 stars out of 5. I would come back to try the Philly cheese egg my friend was eating since he came later. Ambiance was friendly”

“Just had breakfast here , they opened 2 months ago and found this searching breakfast places Clearwater and this came up, services was very quick, food was excellent , great menu , will definitely be back, and super clean !!”
“This place was amazing! The staff was clean, fast and friendly. Jordan was a great host very accommodating. This is my first time within the building. Answered all my questions before I began ordering. definitely coming back! highly recommend!”
“We ordered takeout and the lady who helped us over the phone was so great. I love Filipino food and was picking out a good amount of items so she took her time on the phone to walk me through combos. She was exceptional when my husband walked in for or order and talked us into the flan which was superb.”
“Just arrived back in Clearwater after years and years. My first stop was an old favorite. Last time I was here Sofia and her Husband owned the place. I was sad to hear they sold it. Nervous too, I was worried the food wouldn't be what it was, but I was wrong. The food quality hasn't changed. Gyros were some of the best I've had and the cannolis and baklava were so delicious. Prices were good. Decor hasn't changed either. Great hidden gem of Clearwater, FL.”
“Friends brought me in today while on vacation. Fantastic food, generous portions, fun atmosphere and friendly staff (Jennifer was wonderful). Definitely will visit again when in Clearwater!”
“Second time here,the first time was a Saturday and service was great they had a few workers and everything was great. Today on a Monday 2 workers they seemed very overwhelmed but very kind and kept apologizing to everyone. Obviously they need more then two workers. People are on vacation even on Mondays. One guy waited pry 20 minutes for his iced coffee. My cold brew wasn’t even a full cup $5.50. Still good and I’ll still come again but I sure hope management makes a change and gives the two girls working this morning 5/22 @ 10 am a bonus as they are working hard and the line is going out the door, some are leaving. To top it off the bathroom is out of order.”
“We stopped for lunch on the beach and had an amazing experience. The food was delicious, our server was attentive and took great care of us, and it was a fantastic time overall. We will definitely return!”
“There's no kitchen so no food service here, but they have great drinks, fun staff, a pool table and real English (steel tip) dart boards, plus Golden Tee and a lovely patio. What are you waiting for?”
“My fiancé and I walked in from taking an afternoon walk; and we immediately LOVED the vibe! The coffee is great and so is the food! Simple yet so fresh! Definitely going to be back!”
“Recently visited Southern Lights Brewing and plan to continue going back! The beer list is incredible with a wide variety of European styles. I had the Saison and the Chocolate Porter which were great. The staff is very friendly and they provide an awesome and welcoming atmosphere.”
“Wow! Delicious breakfast potatoes, and the Eggs Benedict was ON POINT! I ordered it with regular bacon and it was awesome. The coffee was okay. Could use a little more strength, but the service was great so that's a huge bonus. Craig was our server and he was helpful and kind. Will return to this place for breakfast every time I'm in Clearwater, FL. This place is not fancy, but it is good- Worth every penny.”
“So Close I’m on a mission to find the best breakfast in mid-Pinellas County. Remy’s is right up there, but just shy of being the best. The café is clean, nicely decorated and welcoming. Staff is pleasant. Air conditioning and fans, unfortunately, blow down, cooling the food too fast. I got the standard thing: 2 eggs scrambled (fine), ham (delicious and one of the best) and grits. Why are grits the downfall of so many local cafes?! Texture was OK, but they were bland! I upgraded the included regular toast to French toast. This is one of the best French toasts I’ve had in these parts. While the bread slices were thick, they were properly cooked and not soggy in the middle (woohoo!) There was even a slice of orange on the plate (albeit dried out). Coffee was, by café standards, strong and good. The correct score should be 4.5 stars, but I’ll gladly round up because of the ham and French toast. Sooo close—just fix the grits.”
“This family diner is reasonably priced and deliciously fresh. The service was spot on, with our beverages being replaced before having a chance to let our server know we needed them refilled. I was most impressed with the cleanliness of the whole place.”
“Great place. Love the vibe in this place. Peaceful. Coffee great. Great prices. I can say it's better than Starbucks. Come check the place out if you are a coffee lover. visiting from DALLAS TX”
“Nice People, Pretty Good Food Emily’s is a block south of Cleveland and a block east of Ft Harrison, so it isn’t on typical travel patterns and is a bit hidden. The restaurant is spacious and very comfortable with big windows. Staff is very welcoming and friendly and on top of keeping the coffee cup full. Food could be a bit a little better. I was there for breakfast and had a couple of standard scrambled eggs. With that was a cup of grits that had nice consistency but lacked flavor. Why can’t grits ever be cooked with enough salt and butter? Salt added at the table just isn’t the same. I also had the ham which was flavorful but needed to be cooked and seared more. The biscuit was small and also a little undercooked. Food should be 3 stars while atmosphere and service is 5. So, a 4 overall.”
“We came here to grab some lunch and we were so happy with our decision. The location is just off the main road. It is outdoor seating only, with some pretty cool vibes because of the outdoor setup. The service was good, as the gentleman helping us told us it was only his second day, but he still did a great job helping us. We ordered the chicken tenders platter and the crabby pretzel. Both tasted great. I know it's hard to say chicken tenders are great, but I have had a lot of chicken tenders and these were some of the best. The cheese sauce that came with the pretzel really stood out and tasted great as well. We came during a bit of an off time but it definitely seems like it would be a really cool place to hangout during peak times.”
“Delicious food! Carolina was the sweetest and most attentive server at the bar! The ceviche had a citrus punch with the crunchy texture of the corn. My seafood was cooked perfectly in the David seafood rice and it was a very hearty dish. The chimichurri sauce was very flavorful on top of the steak. The combination of sweetness from the platanos with our rice was very tasty! There's also a cute bakery shop attached in the back for fresh pastries! Definitely will be back again, thank you!”
“This rooftop resturant is a casual upscale place with great prices and out of this world. Everything we had delicious, enchiladas with seafood, scallops&shrimp, empanada appetizer. The salsa and chips all made fresh and taste wonderful. Margaritas the best I've ever had, so fresh and delicious. I am so happy we picked this place to eat and the view!!Parking: Large parking area and more close by if full. Every place easy to walk to in the area.”
“Used to be Better I hadn’t been to Wildflower Café for quite a while, so decided it was time to return. I was there for a quiet, solo breakfast. The atmosphere is always very nice and the servers are pleasant. I got the French Toast Sampler. I guess I should have asked more questions, but I just went with the name on the menu. This French Toast is really a Pain Perdu. Several layers of bread are squished together and soaked. The middle is, inevitably, soggy and mushy. Obviously, some people like this presentation—I do not. The Applewood bacon was meh (I wish they had some other meat options) and the eggs were eggs. Maybe I’ll give them a try again—for old time’s sake.”
“L♥️VE this place!! I always bring company visiting us in Clearwater to Crabby’s for the beautiful views & experience. Great food, and very helpful, happy, staff. Thank you for never disappointing!”
“Waited over an hr to be seated from when they told me it was going to text to be seated. Went to bar to do a to go order where nobody would help me and when they did my food took 30 mins to get to me and it tasted like food that was reheated. Horrible experience and will not go back.”
“Vegetarian options: YeaDietary restrictions: Idk I'm not googleKid-friendliness: You can bring your kid because if they are picky eater they have chicken nuggets and French friesWheelchair accessibility: There's no handicap button”
“10/10 recommend!! Always fresh and service is always superb! If you are in the Clearwater/St Petersburg area you must give this hidden Gem a try! Recommend treating yourself to the Otoro Nigir!! OMG melts in your mouth!!”
“Excellent cuisine, service, waiting time. Even the kids asked to come back the next day to have lunch here again! Where else will kids eat soup??? Thank you, it was delicious!”
“I went there with my family for the first time as my son did a tour upstairs of the building and it was so good we came back today! The breakfast special was our favorite. And Dan is super nice. My son loved talking to him and he was very kind to him. We will definitely need to come back again soon! Thank you for your service, Dan!”
“It was unforgettable all you can eat lunch in my trip to Florida.It's a family business whose are professionals at making and serving people with the best food and the most delicious meals with a very reasonable price.Guys I love you ,I definitely come back there again .”
“Food was great and affordable! Service was amazing! We went back several times and always requested Jade for our waitress! She’s so down to earth and is amazing at her job!”
“Welcomed as soon as we walked in, staff & who I think was the owner were very friendly. Lots of gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options. Almost everything is made in house and was so yummy! Definitely ”
“My favorite is the Ribeye: Regular and Outlaw! All the food is great though. The cheese cake it fabulous too! I'm here at least once a month if not 2 times, And sometimes when I get the Outlaw, I save money because I take half of it home for another meal, And use the bones to make bone broth!?”
“A must stop at when we are at the beach. We may have stop 6-7 times in our 4 day trip. Very friendly, clean, good entertainment, and the beers on tap our great. Thank you for your hospitality with each visit.”

P.F. Chang's
“P. F. Chang’s is one of our absolute favourite restaurants - try their famous signature lettuce wraps, their combo platter of roasted miso carrots, Mongolian beef and noodles, or their smoked cocktail - beyond expectations!Parking: Easy to find in the shopping mall parking lot”
“Been living down here for 3 years, and I finally found the one! Best pizza I’ve had in FL. If you like Chicago thin crust look no further. There’s only so much flimsy northeast pizza a guy can eat. Can’t wait to go back and try the Italian beef.”
“First time there. We had the chicken schnitzel with potato and cheese pierogis, Polish sausage with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. Also 2 Polish draft beers. Everything was delicious. Portions are good service was awesome.”

Backwaters
“First time here. Ambiance, location, people, and management top notch.Lobster rolls excellent. Chicken parm sandwich excellent. Wife had the salad with blackened salmon. More food than you could eat in one place.”
“Was greeted politely when checking out the menu. Allowed me to make my own bowl for no extra cost! The flavor, freshness and quality of the raw ingredients was very impressive. No additives. Clean and wholesome. Highly recommend.”
“The Clear Sky family of restaurants is always a winner. This was our first time in the downtown Clearwater location. The food was delicious. There was a fantastic variety on the menu. The atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. Service was friendly.”
“Seriously one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! I regret I didn’t take any pictures. Amazing food and fun experience all wrapped up in one! These were my favorites: bul go ki beef, curry chicken, shrimp dumpling, pork dumpling, kimchi style soup base, spicy pork belly, and the spam. Soooo many different sauce options and veggies options. Everything is included and all you can eat! 10/10 recommends ☺️”
“Had my retirement party here last night. Couldn’t have been any happier with the food and service we got for a large party. Thank you owners Dale and Sara and our wait staff Jenna and Joe! You took the best care of us and gained some new customers.”
“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 decided to try this spot out today - it’s so hidden and the back patio has a great view of some water however the inside leaves much to be desired. The staff however were super friendly! We felt very well taken care of and they had awesome attitudes as servers. The food was very good. I had the potato crisp which had every good tasting food ever inside - hash browns, bacon, cheese, caramelized onions - sooo good! My husband got the filet mignon and eggs. He loved it - he just wished the filet was bigger than just a bite or two because he said it tasted fantastic. We also split an elaborate breakfast sandwich which was pretty good ??Overall, I would come back here eventually because it was tasty and the staff was friendly but I don’t think I’d come out of my way to come here regularly. Definitely worth a try though if you’re looking for a new spot!”
“Best service and food since moving here in 2021! The staff really makes you feel that they are happy to have you as customers! The service was fast, sushi fresh and great tasting! Our new favorite restaurant!”
“The banchan is served on 1 rectangular platter, in scoops, so we ordered a refill, since we're accustomed to mini dishes of each - fish cake sheets, kimchi, radish, potato salad. The order of cheese corn and steamed egg bowl were perfect for waiting on the meat to grillWe ordered the Combo set for 4, which was filling, but I think most people would find it just enough for 3 big boys.It's the only BBQ we tried during our stay. So I can't compare to others, but the service and set-up was exactly what our pregnant guest needed. We were seated in the front room at a table that had a half booth bench and 2 seats on the other side of the table.My only hope for improvement is in the size of the grill to accommodate the amount of meat that we would've wanted to grill simultaneously. It's a smaller rectangular surface than what I'm accustomed to in NYC.I'll return on my next visit.Vegetarian options: The kimchi uses seafood ingredients, so aside from the cheese corn and steamed egg (which is most likely chicken broth). You can ask for pickled radish and egg with rice, plus miso soup.”
“Quaint. Good food. Younger servers very attentive. On top of all the nicety and needs. Some of the older servers rushed and didn’t listen to what was being ordered. Rushed us as we went around.Parking: It’s near a shopping center.Kid-friendliness: Lots of options”

Sushi Tu
“This place is very small and very simple. But hands down, the best sushi I've ever had. And both the sushi chef and the guy taking orders were extremely friendly. If I ever make it back to Clearwater, this will be an absolute visit.”
“we are visiting from Indiana and went here with friends. prior to going that night, I messaged them to see if they were dog friendly. to my surprise we got a message back about 1 min. latter. "yes". wow, from the naniger.That never happens. This place is really nice, very spacious and the layout is very good. Doesn't matter where you sit, large TV's everywhere. Inside and outside seating. If this place were on the beach you'd have standing room only. Sort of a locals place, probably little know but its still walking distance fron the beach. The waitress were very attentive but not bothersome, friendly and treat you like family. The food was great. they have a good variety of food but it's not overwhelming like so.e places. I think you'll be happy. If we had this place where I live.... believe me, it would be packed. The manager actually cares about his customers and what you think. Bottom line..... If I lived here, this would be my "go-to" place to brink some beer, eat some food and watch sports. unfortunately the wife and I have to go back to Indiana”
“This is a wonderful little dinner theater with great artistic choice in plays. The food was wonderful, and the staff very professional. Great evening out with the girls!”
“Our initial visit experience this evening was 5 star and we were made to feel like family. Paulo welcomed us and then his daughter Ilaria took over and walked us through a flawless journey from wine to our incredible meal. Homemade pasta, Paulo’s personally made bread, and much more. We look forward to returning and will refer our friends to this awesome restaurant. Marlene, David, and our little pet Morkie Gracie. Grazie Paulo.”
“Gathered with friends for Sunday football as usual. Place was packed! Bartenders Johanna, Andrea & Travis did an amazing job making sure everyone was taken care of! Always have a good time at our favorite sports bar!”
“Great food and service! We love the resort as a whole and Tate is just the cherry on top. The pulled pork nachos were a hit for us as well as the pina coladas. The fire pit at night is wonderful to meet other resort goers and wind down from the day. Elaine is THE BEST attribute to your establishment hands down. As someone who has worked the industry for over 15 years, her skill set and drive does not go unnoticed. This woman works HARD each and everyday in the summer heat for her guests and remains pleasant her entire shift with a smile or quick chat. Every day we came down to the pool side or beach side and said “I wonder if Elaine is here today” and would look around specifically for her. She truly made our couples vacation together that much better. We will be back in the future and hope to see her bubbly self again! Love, your favorite St. Louis couple :)”
“The quality of food is excellent. Staff is exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Special recognition for Kelly and Eric for breakfast service, and most especially Lori for dinner service. Lori and the kitchen staff accommodated us at closing time on our 1st night, provided suggestions for our trips to the ballpark and the surrounding area, and provide fantastic service at dinner on our last night!”
“One of the few places to have the restaurant and bar open on this Thanksgiving day. The quesadilla with grilled chicken was one of the best I ever had. The bartender was most kind!!!!!”
“Always the best good. The staff is so friendly and make great recommendations if you ask for them. Haven't had a bad experience yet. Definitely make a reservation if you can.”
“just a lovely tiny spot for a quick bite! i’ve come here off and on for my lunch breaks the last 2 years and the girl at the counter is so sweet and efficient, every time. food comes out quick and it’s soo so good. i always get their hummus and a greek chicken pita. their hummus is the BEST, and the crunchy pitas are my favorite!”
“Great help from the best people, they’ve helped us with our kids so much! Our kids are happier since we started with their sessions and they love going to Mace Kingsley.”
“The pizza was decent, not great. The star of the show for me was the tiramisu and the cheesecake. They were both great! This place is right beside the boat excursion docks, so it’s convenient to those.”
“Great food. Had the wrap and fries. The pina cola seemed to come from a machine but was good. Service was great. Order was right and was checked on multiple times. Atmosphere was great. We got a great beach view table. Great shade when they open in the late morning and during lunch with the tall building blocking the sun. The sun might be bright in the afternoon so go early. I did not like the automatic 19% surcharge since better to let customers pick their own tip amount.”
“I have been coming here since my T-ball days in the 80’s. My first date with my wife was here. Many birthdays here for my kids. Love the food especially the pizza and service has always been great!”

Thai Basil
“Had lunch. Was slow. The place has been upgraded over the last 2 years. The menu items are excellent. My guest and I had the Pad Thai and Massaman. Seriously, to die for. I've been coming here over 15 years. Love this place. The service is always great.”
“Our experience fell short in this establishment while looking for a GF poke bowl. It is a shame people come here, who, when searching "gluten free" get hits for this restaurant (because of their granola).GLUTEN FREE PPL be advised this only applies to their acai bowls. The fish is all marinated in gluten-ridden teriyaki and soy sauce (and no, not one of the GF varieties you can find literally everywhere now). Not just normal, gluten-free fish, like nature gave us.This corporation has seriously dated itself by lack of GF options.Dietary restrictions: Not good for gluten free people (that are not looking for a bowl of sugar/acai). Poke is not GF here”
“This is an experience.We had1905 salad (fo' sho order)Tapes sampler (good but a lot)Spanish bean soup (yes)Gazpacho (not bad)Devil crab croquettes (nice)Empanadas (please get these)Palomilla (I'd skip this)Snapper a la Rusa (order this!)Ok. This was crazy busy when we came. Like tables are so close together (please don't sneeze!) You can nearly rub knees with your neighbor. So loud and like a scene out of a movie with all the hustle of restaurant noise.But! So worth coming. Some food is better than others. We tried a lot of the favorites I think. I'd highly recommend a reservation!The 1905 salad is a must! I will recreate this at home. It was a little heavily dressed but such a simple yummy salad.The black bean soup is not a soup at all. Just black beans on top of rice but really comforting and nice. Tip it with some onions tho.The gazpacho is cold in case someone doesn't know that. It was pretty good. I would only add cucumbers, tomato and croutons. My waiter added too many onions and it was quite overwhelming but good otherwise.The croquettes were really good and should be cut in half and add a couple dashes of hot sauces. It's a mustI could skip the tapes sampler. It was good but I'd rather eat other things.I am telling you.... you NEED to order the Empanadas. I could have been happy with the 1905 and Empanadas! Yep. They are that good. So do yourself a favor and get them.The Snapper a la rusa is worth getting. I read the description on the menu and thought it sounded terrible. Boy was I wrong. It is so worth getting. It was really really good.When we come back thos way this will be a stop for sure!And our server Michael! DID AN AMAZING JOB! HE WAS ON IT AND NICE TO LOOK AT. THANKS MICHAEL!!”
“3 of us dined at Island Way Grill and we all enjoyed our dining experience immensely. Our server (Hunter) was excellent - he was attentive, knowledgeable on the menu and efficient as a server. The food was incredible and reasonably priced. We will definitely be returning soon.”
“Very accommodating! Looked so pretty online and it's even better in person. Definitely a whole experience and great way to celebrate our anniversary! Get the table side cesar salad closest thing to NOLA I have found in FL as far as ambiance and taste! We have had lost reservations in the past at other establishments and other bad experiences so it's nice to just be able to enjoy it. We will be celebrating here for now on”
“Great food and great sports bar. Quick service great prices. Coldest beer in Pinellas countyDietary restrictions: Everything I need on my low fat diet. Good and plenty”
“Atmosphere was excellent, selection of beer, wine and spirits was great as well. Our server and our chef were outstanding. Attentive, entertaining and accommodating. Bit pricey, but you get a ton of food- they don't skimp on the portion sizes. Parents had a great time. Recommend if you have a group!”
“The servers are friendly. They know their job very well. The food is always great. And the prices are fair. It's a relaxing place to meet friends and enjoy a good meal.”

Wok-N-Roll
“I love this place they are the only Chinese restaurant in the area I have found that doesn't cop out and throw fillers like frozen peas and carrots in the fried rice. The employees are very friendly and they are the best, food is very GOOD. The house mustard is dyn no mite.”
“Great service and experience. Delicious food and drinks, friendly and professional staff, nice atmosphere. Perfect if you want to celebrate something special or for a date.”
“Waitresses are so kind. They were out of a certain dish but quickly offered replacement meals. I loved how attentive they were. There was a difficult customer who was giving a hard time to a waitress, and she handed the customer with such grace. Give that waitress a raise! I will be back. The hilarious review left by R. Thakkar is the angry customer in question that stormed out without paying; enjoy her one star review for reference. Love this restaurant, and the staff. Good job all around.”
“Our server was warm and friendly. She checked on us several times making sure if we needed anything. Also our guest with us had her birthday 86yrs they brought a slice of delicious cake and sang to her♥️ All the others that helped bring our food were just as friendly. Thanks Kayla!”

MB GRILL
“The food is cooked to order and is excellent. The building is a hard luck location, but for MB most of their business is either delivery or drive through. The dining room is worn but scrupulously clean, as are the restrooms. It isn't really a place to go out of your way for, but if you're in the area and want a nice little seafood restaurant then you would not go wrong by coming here.Parking: The place is in the middle of a massive parking crater. Much of the complex is vacant, so parking will not be a problem.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no booths, and every table in the dining room is wheelchair accessible.”

Umai Cafe
“My wife and I have been coming since 2018 the service and food has always delivered. Would recommend to any one who's in the Clearwater area to seek out Umai for fine sushi experience.”
“Visiting from out of town and glad we stopped by. Outdoor seating area was great, staff was friendly and attentive. Food was excellent, totchos and boneless wings. Cocktails were delicious and fairly priced at $9-$10. Beer was $8 a pint so figured a flight would be decently priced too... wrong!!! Should have asked bc when we got the bill, it was TWENTY DOLLARS for four 5 oz tastes (although they didn't look like 5 oz?), so basically we paid $16 a pint. That was a bit disappointing, but being on vacation "it is what it is" I guess. There was a sale on the vodka sodas so got a few 8 packs of those to take home, great deal at just about $1.00 a piece. If I lived here, this place would definitely be somewhere I'd frequent.”
“Delicious home cooked food served with a smile! This is a hidden gem that you must try out! Everything was fabulous- starting with the fresh baked bread served warm, followed by the most amazing mussels is a lemon cream sauce and last but not least the entrees (veal Parmigiana and Veal Marsala) were prepared perfectly. The side of sautéd spinach is worth a call out too- perfection. We will be back!!”
“Entering Media Luna Luna Mexican Restaurant is like a culinary trip to Mexico. Each dish is packed with authentic flavors and fresh ingredients that never fail to impress. The tamales?

“We drove 1 1/2 hrs to eat here, because was told food was really good. They didn't lie! We arrived and the parking lot wasn't crowded but within 25 minutes it was packed! The food for 20 people came out fast, and was very tasty. The 2 waitresses were excellent! The owner stopped by and chatted with the group at that end of our table, and seemed very nice. Those 2 waitresses were on the money, kept checking on us, was honest about the collard greens, ( which were good) , did refills quickly. I even brought some leftovers home. Would highly recommendKid-friendliness: The waitresses dotted on a little boy at the next tableParking: Large lot, room for many cars”
“I take my staff to any celebration at this place, and we never leave disappointed! The food is great, service is amazing and the atmosphere is great!Phil is the best!”
“It was so good i could have easily cried! The food is everything i wanted and more! Their salsa verde is has amazing flavor with a kick to it. Al pastor was moist and a beautiful red color! Asada had amazing traditional flavors and melted in your mouth. I definetly found ny go to taco truck!”

Bumpin BBQ
“These guys know their smoke. Great bbq; the kind of traditional taste you associate with places on a Carolina backroad that have been at it for years.. The sides were good, especially the baked beans, which have a unique flavor profile. They are earning those five star Google reviews.”
“We tried this out based on the good reviews, and we were so glad we did! The place was pretty quiet, but the food was excellent and the staff was extremely friendly! We will definitely go back here againUpdate Mar 2024. Food was still good, however the dining area was very dirty. Even the table we used wasn't very clean. There were a few staff members just sitting around chatting, as the restaurant wasn't busy. Maybe they should keep them busy, by having them clean up the place!”
“This was a delight. The menu contained more options than usual for an all-you-can-eat spot, which we enjoyed. The coconut shrimp were deliscious. If you are expecting coconut shreds, be forewarned.... These are not that. However, the light coconut sauce drizzled on top adds to the flavor. The rolls were fresh, and the rice was very flavorful. The only complaint I had was for the crab rangoon. The wonton wrappers were fried very hard. And, the eel sauce, eh...Overall, it was a great place with many options. We will return!!!”
“Hands down the best authentic Spanish food. The Paella was just like in Spain, the empanada was wonderfully seasoned. This was our first time here but will certainly come back. Love supporting family-owned restaurants! The decor is beautiful with artwork all around painted by the owners daughter. The owner was super friendly and offered up some really smooth wines from Spain. Cheers!”
“In town for a concert and our hotel recommended this restaurant as it is close by. We went in the off hours (3pm) and were the only ones there which made me nervous. What a wonderful surprise. Delicious. Our waitress “Tina” was great too.”
“I order here off Doordash ALL the time! They offer so many deals on doordash, like happy hour, 15% off or a free item with a certain purchase amount. So I feel like they're super fairly priced. PLUSSSSS they are SOOOOOO good. Especially their Pad Thai, I normally get their sushi, but today I ordered their Pad Thai & it was phenomenal. I'll definitely have to come check them out in person soon! ❤️?”
“The Pad Thai is the best anywhere I've been, sweet and succulent. Chicken Panang Curry and the bento boxes are delish, too, making the choice hard. The ethnic decor and friendly service are wonderful, but it's the flavors that keep us coming back, year after year. Enjoy!”

“Autumn helped me with my order last night. She was very friendly and helpful. I almost forgot some of my food and she was right on it. Thank you for not letting me ruin dinner!”
“I never really have an issue with this place, been ordering here for years. They are super nice & quick with taking your order. Occasionally i’ll get some oily noodles, or the chicken might be chewy. But that’s very rare. They are reasonably priced in my opinion, ik some people said they felt like it was too expensive. But it’s pretty comparable to most chinese places. The inside on the restaurant is pretty small, but i always order take out. The kitchen looks pretty clean, i’ve never had an issues with the food being cold/ or looking old. Will continue to order from here”

“The staff here are always do friendly and not just for a tip. They are genuinely happy people here evrytine I have visited. Great local hole in the wall. Only issue I have here is the smoke. You will unfortunately go home smelling like smoke and need a shower. No matter if your here 5 min or 5 hours you smell the same when leaving. But if it's cheap beer your after this is your place.”
“Trust me Charlie is the BEST❤️ you haven’t had sushi until you have had Charlie’s. I have been a loyal customer for many years.”
“I moved here from Brooklyn about a year ago. The pizza here is great and the guys here are very friendly. It reminds me of home and I appreciated the chat we had. Thanks guys 11/10. I'll be back for sure!!”
“Nice People, Good Food This is for their Daily News Cafe on Belcher. It was a busy Saturday evening and we didn’t have a reservation. The very nice staff found us a place. They took care of us promptly and efficiently in a friendly manner. We started with the Daily News Shrimp appetizer which was delicious. We moved on to the Chicken Marsala which was very good and the Grilled Branzino which was even better. It was nice to have a meal that included some vegetables. That’s hard to find these days. The servings were large enough to have some leftovers—always appreciated. I do wish their wine list was a little better and cocktails would have been nice. In any case, the nice staff make up for any shortcomings. I’ll be back and I’d like to try their other location on Ft Harrison in Clearwater.”
“Best breakfast place ever! The sweetest and best looking crew! Oh, and the food is outstanding along with the service!! They treat you like family! Make sure you tip them well because they really make sure you are taken care of! Everything is good!! Love them!! John S.”
“Their arepas are so good and portion sizes are always excellent. I almost always have leftovers because I can’t eat it all in one sitting. Their pink sauce is one of the most delicious sauces I’ve ever had, it’s soooooo good.Dietary restrictions: Arepas are a great option for people who eat gluten-free!”
“These cats are the real deal! Randy and Aly are so thoughtful, they genuinely care about their customers! When I say to my husband that is "G.O.T time!!!" he grins ear to ear!”

“My husband picked up the BBQ lamb chops from 4K’s BBQ. They tasted delicious. They were super tender and full of flavor. The portion size was accurate for the price. I even tried one and we will both get them again. I had the smoked sausage which was delicious as well. We will definitely be going back. I am so glad this area of Clearwater finally has good BBQ!”

She was very knowledgeable and kept the water and beers coming.Whenever I'm back in town. I'll come by and visit and see if Monica is working again.Amazing service and experience”
“We were fortunate enough to spend 3 nights in a row here! They have a great staff, great vibe, and great food & drinks! Jennifer and Devin especially MADE our nightlife for our 10 year anniversary honeymoon trip this last week. Thank you for being so amazing! An added plus was meeting Nick Hogan and getting to hear him DJ on the rooftop!”
“I just love this place. For what it is, it's the best around. Forget about the other similar places with more famous names and inconsistent meals. Palm Pavilion has consistently served the best, freshest grouper sandwiches, drinks, and friendly service. We don't even bother taking company any place else any more.”
“This was one of our favorite spots while on vacation. The staff was very friendly and efficient. The food was phenomenal. As an Italian, I am skeptical of Italian restaurant cuisine, but this far exceeded expectations!”
“Today I went to this Starbuck. Has the pleasure to meet: Bianca, Adhom, Joseph (night crew).They went above and beyond to make us amazing drinks with a smile!Bianca was so sweet and traded me for holiday cup! I gave her mine and she gave me hers cause we had the ones each other wanted!Thank you for making my night!!”
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Indian restaurant offering an all-you-can-eat buffet, and it was a delightful experience. The variety and quality of the dishes were outstanding, each item bursting with freshness and flavor. I highly recommend giving it a try, even if you're not accustomed to diverse cuisines. The buffet allows you to sample a little bit of everything, making it a foolproof way to discover new favorites. My picky eater kids were thrilled to find numerous dishes they loved, indulging in plate after plate of delicious food. A truly satisfying dining adventure for the whole family!”

“Great food. Very popular. The last time we went there we were greeted by a gruff cranky short remark from the lady who stated “we are closed “ and away she went. One time we saw an elderly woman fall backwards on her high chair.”
“This is a newer Taco Bell, so it is better than most of the other fast food joints in the area. The staff in the drive-thru were very professional and efficient. Parking lot was tidy and kept up with. As Taco Bells go, this is one of the better restaurants that serve fast food tacos! Will be my Taco Bell of choice!”
“Talk about fast service! It was like flash and superman working together to run a restaurant. Like we place an order and the next worker we see has our drinks and then the next server had our food!!! Amazing time and left quite an impression on us that we went 2 out of 3 nights we were there.”
“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!”
“Incredible authentic food. The experience and atmosphere is very unique and well worth the visit. I recommend the breakfast platter for 2. I had food I've never eaten before and it was sooo good. They also have a Mediterranean market with all of my favorite Greek treats and foods.”
“Some of the best butter chicken I've ever had. And if you've never had a Kingfisher beer, you must try one. Beautiful atmosphere just walking in the place was both calming and inviting. Definitely will be ”
