Gab G.

Grabbed a 9:45 AM patio reservation for breakfast on a Saturday and was glad I did because a line built up quickly. I had an iced coffee and plain french toast with berries. The French toast was awesome, and the cinnamon butter was so good - it tasted like Cinnamon Toast Crunch!! Also had a bite of the two egg breakfast which was also great.

My apologies for not updating my review when we stopped by this last January! So here it is: A bit of an upscale casual place very near the beach for breakfast today. Oscar Crab Bennie, a Meat Lovers Omletet and some Bengeits yo share...all were very good and service was great as well. Nice place to start your day! The last time we were here was 2017 and this visit was much better!

First time at Clear Sky Cafe. We ate outside while a guy was playing his guitar and playing some really good songs. I had chicken yakitori. I had rice, avocado, cucumbers, and pickled onions. Delicious! My husband had the pan seared grouper with a beet salad. Everything was delicious! Thank goodness we came on a Monday night and it wasn't that crowded. Definitely recommend!

Our first food stop while in Clearwater for 5 days. The host sat us right away. Not too busy on a Friday at 3:30pm. Luckily they have happy hour everyday from 2-6pm and their wine and cocktails are all 1/2 off! Ordered a skinny marg and Hugo spritz. My margarita had a TON of salt on the rim and some fell into the glass so it changed the taste a lot.

Fish N Chips, Chicken Tacos, Coconut Shrimp, mojito

Sonica B.

Went here on day 1 of our vacation in Clearwater on a Wednesday afternoon. Was recommended by a staff member of the resort we stayed at. Ambience was like your regular breakfast place or diner, but definitely family friendly. We were there with our 8 month old baby boy and felt comfortable. Food tasted pretty okay, we ordered coconut shrimp, fish n chips and chicken tacos for brunch! The fish was a little undercooked and the batter was still a bit wet inside. Other items were not bad. For drinks, I ordered their popular pomegranate mimosa which came really flat (no bubblies) and in a wine glass! I sent it back and got a mojito instead - which tasted a lot better! Additionally, we were not aware the breakfast menu closes at 12 pm and we were already seated, so kind of felt obligated to order from the lunch menu at around 12.05 pm! It was too early for a sea food lunch for us! We saw the table next to us had ordered breakfast just a few minutes before us but we were denied because it was already past noon. Overall a pretty average experience. I was expecting a little more authentic experience but turned out to be just like your local diner.

This is a very nice restaurant, with good food and service. If you have hearing issues (my husband), be forewarned that the patio and inside restaurant are incredibly loud. Our waiter, David, was delightful and very knowledgeable about the GF items, and was helpful in accommodating me. We started with by sharing the grilled octopus, which was arguably the best I've ever had -- it was very tender, and not a bit chewy. We also had mussels, which were garlicky and delicious, but I was so into the octopus and chimichurri, I only had two mussels! One diner had the blackened mixed grill, which was highly recommended by David, and it was exceptional, with deep flavor profiles, but not overwhelming blackening. Two diners had the grouper sandwich -- my husband said it was the best grouper sandwich he's had (which he confirmed the next day, after having one at Frenchy's). My dinner was the pan seared grouper, which was absolutely excellent -- the butter lemon sauce was rich and almost tasted like hollandaise. David insisted my husband try the key lime pie, which he did, and it was creamy, custardy and very good. Make a reservation and visit Clear Sky!

Cinnamon Bun French Toast Ribeye Steak & Eggs*

Melissa P.

We had the steak and eggs and the cinnamon French toast with pecans it was so delicious. Everything was cooked well. The service was great she was really nice and informative. The ambiance is very relaxed. We liked the outdoor dining. The only con was the orange creamsicle drink it was ok.

Simran B.

We joined the walk up list for clear sky via their website around 11am on a Saturday, and our table was ready within 10 minutes. We were seated as soon as we arrived, and throughout our visit the service was really good. My friend and I were having a very hard time deciding, and when we asked the server, she flat out told us that the two things we were torn between were awesome and we should order both and split them. We got the shrimp and grits and the lobster Benedict. On their own, the grits weren't anything special, although they were texturally great. Now when you add the shrimp and gravy . . . This dish is a whole other deal. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the gravy was super well balances. It had the perfect level of spice. The lobster Benedict had a perfectly poached egg, and it worked so well. The mornay sauce was a lovely touch. I'd definitely order it again, but I would also definitely order the shrimp again. Long story short, our server was right, they were both amazing. I also got a standard Bloody Mary, which was solid. I would definitely go back to this place. It's got an upbeat, family friendly atmosphere, and I think it's a great spot for locals and out of towners alike. It's also well priced. I'd also love to try their beignets or French toast next time. They've also got a huge lunch/dinner menu that I'd definitely want to try if I were in town for longer.

Robin H.

Everything was amazing! Mussel sauce was to die for...barramundi was great. Grouper dinner was so good. We tried a lot ant it was all good including the key lime pie. Service was awesome, and love the ambiance. Good change for a beach bar!

Alea V.

The live music is really professional and good. I was really surprised at how much talent the guitarist had. The food was also really delicious compared to some other places we went to. Seems like a lot of restaurants have the exact same thing, but this place also has an Asian flare. I got the dumplings and they tasted homemade, the miso sauce was really delicious. My husband got the dynamite shrimp which is good if you need some food for drinking, it has a large portion, more than just for two. I got the wagyu sliders and the lobster Mac and the sliders don't look like much but they are super delicious! Definitely recommend them. Overall I was super stuffed beyond capacity with them and the lobster Mac. My husband got the steak frites, which in all honesty I would not recommend. The steak was so incredibly chewy and overall not fun to eat. The sauce was good but not enough to compensate for the meat. The waitress was really nice and overall we're had a fantastic time. It's also walking distance from our hotel so it's just really convenient to get good food close by.

Mirna I.

Great service. The food was a mixed bag. We loved our appetizer (not pictured)- the dynamite shrimp. The mains were all very flavorful. They were very attentive to an allergy at the table that we appreciated. Nice family friendly restaurant, casual but could be more dressy too.

We visited on Monday, MLK Day, around 1 PM and were still hoping to catch the brunch menu. Our server, Nico, was fantastic and brought out a special menu with reduced breakfast/brunch options--which turned out to be perfect and satisfied our brunch cravings. We ordered the kitchen sink skillet, the corned beef hash, and the sweet buttermilk pancakes. Everything arrived hot and fresh and was absolutely delicious. We also loved that there's a full bar--I tried the Clear Sky spiked latte, and it was the perfect drink. Definitely a great place to visit while spending time at Clearwater Beach. It is small and there is outdoor seating but it was too cold and windy for that. Would be nice on warmer day.

Wow...great stuff here. 4.5 stars if Yelp would allow. On vacation with my wife, and was recommend Clear Sky for a great breakfast and bloody Mary's. Our 2 seat booth was a bit tight, but my Banana French Toast with fresh seasonal berries was amazing! Maybe the best I've ever had... My wife had a seafood, egg white omelette, which she said was ok...just a bit weird having dinner and breakfast mixed. Our server was prompt and polite, but did forget to order my sausage patties even after our discussion for her thoughts on which was better...not a huge deal because French toast was a big plate. What's missing...a view of the ocean...if I was looking at the water, there's a chance I would fly down a few times a month just for breakfast read more

We spent 5 days in Clearwater. A lot of the eating places all have the same bar food items. We found clear sky and it was the best around the area. Prices were reasonable, food choices and quality were great, and service was good too! We came back twice to this place and both times it was great. If you are looking for good local food that's not the bar items then this is your place. We never had to make reservations and they did have live music on the patio one of the nights we were there.. read more

It was crazy hot so we couldn't sit on the patio but at sunset it was still a stunning view. Kalby was an absolute pleasure to be serviced by. She was attentive and used her talents to help recommend entrees from the menu. Our starter was the bulgogi skewers which were perfectly balanced with sweet and Korean spice. The edamame was our least favorite dish. I did discuss this with kalby and the manager. The idea was there but poor execution. The gochujang sea salt...the gochujang just wasn't there and once you ate that top layer all you got was oily edamame, so much oil...you wouldn't need chapstick for the rest of the day. Then wins though came from the cocktails. Ours were delicious and my old fashion was spot on. Also in the win was the sunset sushi, beautiful and fantastic, along with Korean crispy chicken. The peanut sauce was the perfect balance to that meal. Now...what we also loved that should be permanently on the menu was the mochi. We had 4 of them and they were wonderful!

Clear Sky Restaurant in Clearwater Beach is a very good place with a great atmosphere, great staff, and most importantly, great food. I visited on a Saturday for brunch and although there was a line out the door, we only waited about 20 minutes which was totally worth it. Our server Danielle was amazing and very attentive. She made the experience even better by providing impeccable service. The menu options at Clear Sky Restaurant are endless, and we tried several items. The mimosas were great and a perfect way to start our meal. In addition, we also had fresh squeezed orange juice which was very good. The heart attack biscuit, which is three eggs your way, fried chicken, gravy, and cheese served on a buttermilk biscuit, was nothing short of amazing. The biscuit was perfectly crispy and the combination of flavors was just perfect. We also tried the Mexican Skillet which is a skillet with Chorizo sausage, guacamole, sour cream, pepper jack cheese, and a side of ranchero sauce. This dish was bursting with flavor and definitely one of our favorites. The chicken burrito was equally impressive with grilled chicken, two scrambled eggs, peppers, onions, cheddar-jack cheese, topped with guacamole, sour cream, and ranchero sauce, served with homestyle potatoes. The dish was filling and delicious, with each ingredient complementing the other perfectly. The Beignets & Berries was a delightful and light dessert that I highly recommend ordering for the table during brunch. This deep-fried French pastry with fresh berries and caramel, topped with powdered sugar, was a perfect end to our meal. I also recommend ordering the breakfast potatoes crispy as they were the perfect accompaniment to all our dishes. Overall, I highly recommend Clear Sky Restaurant in Clearwater Beach. The atmosphere, staff, and food were all exceptional and made for a memorable dining experience. read more

We had such a wonderful dinner experience at Clear Sky Cafe! Kristina and Rashid were amazing and provided excellent service from start to finish. When we first arrived, we chose to sit outside but changed our minds due to noise. The vibe outside was very different than inside, just a more lively and inside was a little quieter and calmer. Take your pick!!! They moved us inside without any hesitation and were so kind and accommodating about it. I am currently following a strict low-FODMAP elimination diet, which can make eating out extremely stressful. Kristina was incredibly helpful and patient with all of my questions and concerns, especially regarding gluten, dairy, garlic, and onion. She went back to the kitchen multiple times to check ingredients and even helped brainstorm possible substitutions so I could still enjoy my meal safely. I ended up ordering a margarita-style pizza with olive oil, mozzarella, basil, and bacon, and it was great! Every time Kristina came to the table, she asked whether I had any additional questions and made sure I felt comfortable with everything I was eating. She was also funny, friendly, and genuinely made the entire experience much less stressful. My family was still able to enjoy meals that looked amazing, while I felt completely taken care of. It can be very difficult to eat out with strict dietary concerns, but Kristina and Rashid made the experience so much easier and more enjoyable. I truly could not have asked for a better experience. I will definitely ask for their help again the next time I visit. They make a great team, and this is an overall fantastic restaurant! read more

Beware of this location! The Dunedin location does a much better job with the food. Different menu, much better selections. Over priced for drinks, same as the draught haus but it makes it ok if I'm getting good food. Balsamic glaze blue cheese kettle chips were more of a bowl of balsamic soup with a blue cheese n chip garnish. Ordered the booze burger and was served with a thai satay sauce. Sent the burger back, only to have the server tell me that the kitchen wants to know if they can use the same patty and just scrape off the sauce and toppings. As I thought to myself, why do I want someone handling a patty that I already took a bite out of, I should have said yes because my second "rare" burger came out well done. Bloody Mary bar has great selections, however, the bartender was very slow and by the time I got mine dressed and ready to consume, half the ice was melted. Tip: don't do a Bloody Mary bar out in the sun! Luke warm toppings and mixers is not very appetizing! Overall grade, D-. I've heard and read so many great things about this place. 800 sq ft of sitting on top of each other is not a good time for me. Not to mention the tourist next to me feeding the seagulls. One more tip, I don't have respect for mangers that sit outside and smoke when your on a wait. Good luck at your next job! read more

Ate there 4 days in a row just this week with the family, and all 4 times were really, really good. Staff was very attentive and friendly (thanks to Spenser, Joel, Luigi and our first waitress whom I forgot the name, sorry dear), and food was top notch. At first glance Clear Sky seems more like a regular beach joint, one you find at any beach area with live music, but no, they are absolutely a few steps above that (not that there is anything wrong with it). I mean, I had their pork chop and it was perfectly cooked and with a mustard sauce out of this world (+fingerling potatoes and a oven baked tomato - yummmm). The mussels we had the last day (white wine/garlic) were also fantastic, worthy of a Michelin star (no kidding) - and they brought us fresh extra garlic toasts to finish up the abundant broth. Live music outside was fine, but a bit loud (our choice though as there was plenty seats available inside. Only thing I could say is a negative (and the reason we did not seat inside), is the outdated décor, but wouldn't take a star out because of it. Anyway, congrats to the chef and all staff. BTW, thanks for the free lava cake you gave us for my daughters birthday, it was very much appreciated. Will be back soon as we travel to Clearwater often and stay right across the street. read more

I have taken my visitors from out of town to visit this establishment RELIGIOUSLY for the past 2 years, since moving here. After the service I received this weekend, I WILL NOT be returning. My server, NICOLE was condescending, completely inattentive and overly RUDE! Any time we asked a question regarding the menu, her response was, "Read the description". I had already read the description and wanted a little clarification, which she was unwilling to provide. She then forgot to put in my husbands' order and when we pointed this out, she stormed away and returned to tell us that we never ordered it!!!! She never once apologized or tried to make our dining experience pleasant in any way!! I can not even fathom how she gained employment here or made it through training. She then took it upon herself to add gratuity to our bill, when we were only 4 people! I didn't notice at the restaurant and tipped her on top of that, and she never bothered to point out that we DOUBLE TIPPED her ACCIDENTALLY. I am guessing she does this often. The whole experience has left a bad taste in my mouth and I will be taking my company to Caretta on the Gulf, where the customer is ALWAYS right and treated with respect. read more

One of our favorites in Clearwater. The menu is extensive, so good for families with "picky eaters". I had the Blackened Grilled Seafood mix. You get 3 shrimp, 3 scallops, and a generous filet of fish served with grilled veggies and rice. Our waitress (Rachel) recommended an upgrade to grouper as the fish and Diver scallops. I accepted and was glad for the recommendation. It did cost about $12 extra. The food was excellent. It comes with a spicy mayonnaise dip, which I liked also. I had one of the cheaper Chardonnay's, and it paired well with my dinner My wife chose the Cajun Chicken Pasta, and she was very happy with the food. She could not finish the entire bowl. The kids got the flatbread Hawaiian pizza and the BBQ stack burger. The fries with the burger were like a hybrid of waffle fries and potato cakes; they were very tasty! Great experience, great service, great food. We will be back for sure. Ps we ate at Frenchys original the previous night. No comparison in our opinion. Frenchys smells strongly of seafood upon entrance. The seating is too close proximity, and the servers were overwhelmed. The margaritas were tasty. read more

My family and I recently dined here, and our experience was beyond amazing. We chose to sit at an outside table under an umbrella, which provided a lovely atmosphere for our meal. The service was exceptional, thanks to our sweet and attentive server from Pennsylvania (I wish I could remember her name!). She ensured we had everything we needed throughout our visit. I started with a strawberry mimosa, which was delightful. A quick tip for those sitting outside: the heat can get to your drink, so don't hesitate to ask for some ice if you need it. For my main course, I ordered the lobster omelette, and it was phenomenal. The portion of lobster in the omelette was perfect, and it was cooked to perfection. The grits that came with it were equally fantastic. Our son had two eggs with cheese, grits, and sausage, and he devoured his meal. My husband ordered the Huevos Rancheros, which he described as very satisfying. He says it had the flavor that he was expecting in a Latin genre of breakfast. Overall, our experience here was wonderful, and we will definitely be returning the next time we're in Clearwater. Highly recommended! read more

Beware of this location! Go to Dunedin if you want good food from this brand... We waited 20/25 min to sit, server did a good job, kitchen not so good. Ordered a burger rare, made the wrong burger, then asked if they could scrape off the toppings and re-use the same burger with the correct toppings, after I already had abite out of it. As bad as that sounds, I should have said yes because my second "rare" burger came out well done. Balsamic glaze chips with blue cheese on top was more of a bowl of balsamic soup and very little BC. Tip: don't do a bloody Mary bar with ice in the glass! Give the glass with vodka, then let the bar serve the ice prior to adding toppings. Super nice girl but way to chatty with everyone to finish my time sensitive drink. Tables way to close together! I enjoy sitting in public eating, I don't enjoy sitting so close to the tables on either side of me that I can smell their breath. Very pricey for food and drinks for fast food at best. As I mentioned before, go to Dunedin and you will experience something way different from this brand. read more

I came to Clearwater Beach from the Northeast 2 years ago. The first place I ever went was Clear Sky recommended to me by a realtor. It has become my home away from home I work in the medical field, therefore, I am not home much. Clear Sky became my 2nd family. I got there at least 3 times a week. I enjoy the happy hour with 1/2 pizzas, however, I love the booze burger with the whiskey sauce and black and bleu fries. Also, when I had family in town, we had entrees which were wonderful with the best calamari you could have. I highly recommend it. Coming from the Northeast, sitting on the patio with the sun shining and being able to see the gulf goes without saying. I highly recommend Clear Sky for a fun, friendly atmosphere with great servers and great food. read more

To the owner Dan: For a "no frills BEACH bar" I must say the "no bathing suits" policy is rather asinine. My friend and I walked into your rather dead establishment this afternoon and simply because my girl friend had her bikini top on with her skirt cover up and didn't have a shirt with her, we couldn't be guests at your bar. You're on the BEACH for crying out loud! Well 2 less patrons you'll have. And perhaps more after this post. read more

Fantastic casual dining restaurant with a fine dining feel. I had no idea this place was considered…read morecasual dining until the table next to us asked for a manager who explained it as part of their response to a complaint. No complaints here though! What makes this place unique? They offered Caymus Cabernet BY THE GLASS, which I have not found before, and I frequent higher end restaurants often. It was fun to have a high-end glass of wine without spending hundreds on a bottle. It's also nice if you want to try other drinks. The espresso martini (get it with Baileys added for a smoother taste!) is huge and delicious. Brussel sprouts appetizer and feta whip appetizer were both tasty and ample for two people. The spicy fish tacos are Mahi Mahi and a MUST if you like Mahi. I will only eat Mahi if close to the ocean, and it was great. No fishy taste, nice and tender. The brownie dessert that was off-menu was perfect for a sweet bite. So many nice restaurants get too crazy with their specialty desserts, and sometimes you just want a simple yet decadent treat like a brownie! Make a reservation on their website and relax.

Preston was so fantastic, immediately welcoming me, offering a beverage, and asking if I wanted some food. My absolute favorite thing about Drift is that they serve Caymus by the glass! I ordered a glass right away, followed by the mushroom flatbread (to which I added pepperoni--delicious!). I was able to enjoy my wine and a fresh slice of flatbread, and took the rest home, all before they closed. I was so thankful and impressed with the wonderful customer service and for accommodating me as their very last customer. Thank you, Drift--I cannot wait to come back the next time I'm in Clearwater!

He anticipated our every need and went above and beyond in our expectations. There were no issues with the bill and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant itself if beautifully decorated. The sunset was stunning and the drinks were tasty. Everyone enjoyed their food and the steak (unfortunately not pictured) was the standout. It came with a chimichurri sauce that was so good. If you're in the Clearwater area and looking to treat yourself to a nice meal and dining experience, you'll have to visit SHOR!

If you read my prior reviews, you know we love this place, and this is our third visit since it…read morechanged hands -- last two times have been great! BUT, this time I wasn't as happy. We did get great seating on the porch right away (before sunset on Friday PM), and our waiter was really friendly. After that, things changed... First, the fans were blowing at hurricane speed right on all of us. Maybe good during the day when it's summer, but not at night with a breeze. Thankfully one of the girls turned ours off. Second, the menu changed since we were here a few weeks ago -- changed items and higher prices. I've come to LOVE the beer-battered hog snapper platter. Came with 3 pieces and was $22... GONE. Now replaced with "fish & chips" -- 2 pieces of cod and now $24! COD costs HALF as much as hog snapper, so why give LESS and charge MORE? And it's a less flavorful fish. Really disappointed. Third, we were half way into our salads when the entree arrived. So it sat there getting cold (refer back to the fan complaint). Crabby's, please bring the hog snapper back or at least give a 3rd piece if you stay with the cod, and add another waiter or two on a busy Friday. I sooo badly want to bring this back up to five stars!

We had a large party so we realize that's a challenge. We told them ahead of time we were coming…read moreand they advised us we would be placed at two tables. Despite knowing the number of our guests, we had to add seating to fit everyone around the tables. Our tables were in close proximity to each other, but they were unable to put everyone on one check. (Other beach restaurants manage to do this without difficulty.) Crabby's sets the table with small cups for water ~ no ice. They have carafes of water on the table. Nice ~ but ice would also be nice in July (or at least the offer of it.) Food: grouper sandwich. This is tough, because Frenchy's is right across the parking lot. If you want a wonderful Grouper Sandwich, go to Frenchy's. This one was pronounced "dry." Special: Red Fish Nuggets and Fries. I chose this instead of fish and chips. The food was good, but served cold, which was a disappointment. The "key lime tartar sauce" was not cold or chilled at all, and to my palate, nasty (taste and consistency.) Boom boom tacos: okay. Grouper tacos with coconut rice and beans: tacos were good. Rice was cold. Black beans appeared to have suffered from lamp exposure (crusted top). They covered the cold rice. Ick.. Child's grilled chicken: this child had eaten the Child's Grilled Chicken at Island Way Grill the night before ~ every bite. This grilled chicken was totally rejected. Also cold. Fish and Chips were good. Cole slaw has pineapples in it, in case you need that info. Paid parking available in the lot. So ~ Frenchy's is literally right here. The food will be much better. Frenchy's service is excellent and can manage curve calls better than Crabby's. Crabby's has indoor dining with air conditioning and live music. Good sunset viewing. Food? Not so much.

Unfortunately, I arrived a little late and missed the appetizers, but I was still able to enjoy a great meal and excellent service. For my entrée, I ordered the filet mignon cooked medium and added a lobster tail. The filet was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. The lobster tail was good, though nothing particularly memorable compared to other lobster dishes I've had. What really stood out was the service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and did a fantastic job taking care of our large group. You could tell they paid attention to the little details, which made the evening feel special. The true star of the meal, however, was the key lime pie. I'm back home in Chicago and still thinking about it! It had the perfect balance of tart and sweet and was easily my favorite part of the entire dining experience. Overall, Beachcomber's provided a wonderful atmosphere, great service, and a memorable meal. If you visit, do yourself a favor and save room for the key lime pie.

The location alone makes it a convenient and easy choice if you're staying nearby or heading out for a morning walk along the beach. Breakfast was exactly what you hope for at a casual beachside café. We had coffee, an egg sandwich with bacon, and a Western omelet with cheese. Everything was cooked fresh and made to order, and it definitely hit the spot to start the day. Simple, satisfying breakfast food done well. The service was great--friendly, attentive, and welcoming without feeling rushed. It's the kind of place where the staff makes you feel comfortable right away. Another thing that stood out was the pricing. For a beach location, the prices are very fair, which makes it an even better value considering the quality of the food and the location. If you're looking for a relaxed, no-frills breakfast with good food, great service, and an awesome location near the beach, Beach Shanty Cafe is well worth stopping by.

They started with bread, and I asked for olive oil instead of butter, which they accommodated. I ordered both the cauliflower steak and the vegan steak. The cauliflower steak seemed like it was aiming for an Indian-inspired flavor, but it missed the mark for me. The vegan steak had a good texture, but it was under-seasoned and tasted pretty plain. At around $45, I felt it was overpriced for what it was. The highlight of the evening was definitely the view and, even more importantly, the waitress. She was absolutely amazing--10 out of 10! She was attentive, friendly, and made sure I was happy with my meal throughout the evening. I'm really glad they offer vegan options--that's a great first step. The next step is making those dishes as flavorful and memorable as the rest of the dining experience.
