Just stumbled upon this joint today looking for a great burger and a jack n coke. This place is amazing. The burgers were excellent. The cocktail was nicely poured and the cost to eat here was very reasonable. Seems to be a popular place with the locals vs tourists.

Pete & Shorty's is my favorite bar restaurant in Clearwater. The bartenders are highly skilled, attentive and friendly. The food is very good. The clientele are local and full of good humor. Finally, the outdoor entertainment is top notch.

Fun patio and indoor dining/bar. Quintessential Iowa tenderloin served in plastic tray, like an Iowa county fair. Servers are happy and singing along to the songs playing. Super attentive service. Should have tried this place a while ago, just a happy place. Feels like I’m back in the

I love the food here and the wait staff are always friendly. The only complaint I have is if your kitchen closes before the actual close time, advertise that so your customers don’t show up disappointed and still hungry.

Food was good we sat outside it was a little noisy from the traffic but definitely will be going back when we're back on that side of town.

Visiting old memories in Florida wouldn't be complete without a visit to Pete N Shortys. I used to love coming here with my buddies for some sports games, beer and a 6 pack of shorty burgers.Nothings changed really. Although the price of a 6 pack used to be $6.99 and it's now $15 but that's all places. Food was just how I remember it. Above average bar food. Poutine was excellent. Grouper tacos were solid. Margaritas were really good.If you're looking for a good local spot, decent prices, decent food and drinks, Pete N Shortys has your back!

I tried this place once before and hated it, but a neighbor told me that their Friday Fish Fry was exceptional. It wasn’t. The fried batter was okay, but the fish inside was tasteless and had the consistency of pudding. I'll never go back.

I didn't get to have an experience. They told me at the Phillies ballpark that there was a free draft for showing up with the souvenir mug and a ticket stub. Unfortunately, they didn't mention that it was a domestic draft. I didn't buy a domestic draft at the ballpark, nor do I want to drink that swill at their bar! I certainly didn't get a domestic draft at the ballpark, so why should I be forced to drink that slop because I came to take advantage of their offer? Had every intention of having dinner here, but that just turned me off and I walked out.

I was here sometime ago and the food was okay but I came back and the food, let me tell you! The quality of food has improved tremendously! In this order, I got the fried chicken - super crunchy, not dry and paired extremely well with the garlic ranch and barbecue sauce. I also got the Mac and cheese and it was the absolute best restaurant Mac n’ Cheese I’ve ever had. Super cheesy, soft, gooey to perfection. Bryan was the one who prepared my food and I’ll now always trust that man to cook and run the kitchen. Always super kind and friendly faces. Don’t know where to go, just stop here and you’ll be taken care of.

We stopped in before a Phillies vs Pirates game. We were greeted at the door, got a wonderful table and prompt service. The waitress was very friendly and helpful, the food came quickly and was good. The special was a burger and side for $10, which was good. The owner gave us quite a bonus with some upgraded comp tickets to the game…that was spectacular. Thank You, the game was wonderful and the seats were amazing. I highly recommend stopping by and letting them delight you!!!
