This is definitely the perfect place to go after the beach or you're just not quite sure what to eat. I've been craving nachos for the longest time and my gosh did these nachos fulfill my cravings! Javi our waiter was super nice and gave us great drink recommendations. He was full with bright positive spirits. There's indoor and outdoor seating. We chose to sit outside. We went at night but I could imagine that during the sunset that the view is beautiful read more

First time to visit the Palm Pavilion. Opted for some sandwiches tonight.. The Palm Pavilion Burger and The Key West Chicken Sandwich...both were good choices. The Burger was good sized and had that great classic burger taste...solid. The Chicken was just a tad dry but the sauce that came with it was very good! The standard issue fries were very good fries! Our server Cassidy was on top of things! read more

We were there shortly after they opened. Service was slow- but- again- recently opened. You cannot beat the view! We'll come back on our next trip. read more

What a huge improvement from when this was the Palm Pavilion. A new company has taken over, and it shows immediately. The place is bright, clean, and very welcoming -- even the bathrooms were spotless. Service was excellent. We started with drinks (delicious specialty cocktails) and ordered several appetizers to try things out -- calamari, wings, and nachos. Everything was great, and the nachos were my favorite. For dinner, the filet mignon was outstanding, street corn was delicious, ribs were fantastic, and the coconut shrimp was very fresh -- you could tell it was breaded in-house. Fresh fish was excellent too. Prices were very fair, music was great, and the sunset was perfect. We'll definitely be back. Cindy D read more

Location, location, location on the beach great view Servers from check-in, bartending and table service were excellent. The food was good and service was excellent read more

I have been coming to the Palm for years and it is a wonderful tourist spot with great views. There are of course locals that hang out there as there are limited spots on the beach that offer that type of view with such a large bar area and it is far less crowded than other places due to the amount of space they have there so you do not feel like you are crawling over each other just to get to your seat or get up to go to the bathroom. The offer live music throughout the day and night pretty much every day, at least there always has been someone while I have been there. On a hot day, it is great to get out of the sun and get an adult beverage while talking with the bartenders that are always friendly. At least they have been to me. Being a local it is definitely fun to see how small of a town Clearwater is as bartenders around the beach know everyone and everything it seems. Always entertains me. I will say that during my last visit this week I was sad to see that my favorite menu item is no longer on their menu... the crab legs. I know, I know, they have gone up in prize a lot since Covid but damn, it is the beach ya know. read more

My husband and I stopped in to check out the new Crabbys location for 1 quick drink. We ended up staying for hours because Elldin the bartender was so amazing. He was so attentive and made us laugh all night. We ended up having dinner, because he was so great and we didn't want to leave because we were having so much fun! read more

We asked around trans this was a locals favorite place to be ! Right on the beach with inside and outside seating along with the bar so plenty of room and a great place to watch the sunset! Large parties need all be there if you want to be seated as this place gets busy so heads up. Carlos our server was on point and fun with our large family gathering, thank you for the great service . Food was fresh and all portions were perfect sized everyone enjoyed there meals and left satisfied . Definitely recommend getting there early for a great seat and just relaxing atmosphere See you next time we're in town. read more

Crazy busy here but we only waited about 45 minutes and got to enjoy the gorgeous beach during that wait. Food was pretty good. Typical pub food. We had a few grouper sandwiches, fish tacos, and a chicken sandwich. Drinks were just ok. All were super sweet. I'd go back cuz it had a good vibe and a beautiful view. read more

Cannot beat the sunset views of this place. Had the blackened grouper sandwich which was among my favorite in a week of exploring Tampa and Sarasota. The live music was definitely too loud for the atmosphere though. Would have enjoyed it if we could have still carried a conversation but it was really loud. read more

Very interesting place on the beach. It's right on the beach. We sat on the porch looking out over the water about 200 yards away. It was right about sunset so it was a beautiful time to be there. My first impression was that it was a loud and noisy bar as we walked in from the southside of the parking lot but we were soon seated at a table looking out towards the water. We ordered Mojito's and rum, runner drinks. The drinks are a little weak not much alcohol. I ordered the Gulf Grill combo. My wife ordered the island tacos and and our guests ordered the grilled mahi. All of our food was delivered with a gorgeous presentation and no one was disappointed. The food is just simply fresh and delicious. Definitely worth another try. read more

Great service, excellent food. Overall good vibe overlooking beach. Great filet mignon and plantains.

Went in there 3:30 in the afternoon a couple of weeks ago told the hostess we were just in for drinks and appetizers. She advises we could sit anywhere outside. There was one other table occupied on the deck. ... after a 10 min wait ( without menus) a waitress finally came over and said you can only sit here if you're having dinner! Like seriously with only one other table occupied! we've been going to the palm pavilion for 28 years since we moved to Florida. That will be the last time! So we went over to Frenchys had appetizers and drinks and the bill was $145 by the time we finished Not only did the palm pavilion lose some revenue, but the waitress lost a nice tip also! read more

I have mixed feelings about this place. The location is fantastic and really seems to be what keeps it popular. Every time we have been, they have live music as well. The food is generally okay--I usually go for the blackened island mahi mahi, which has good flavor and a decent portion size. We tried the nachos on a previous visit and loved them, but this time they fell flat. We did add steak, though, and the portion was generous. The drinks are overly sugary, almost to the point of being undrinkable. It's best to stick with basic options like a skinny margarita, Tito's with soda, or beer, as the specialty drinks are overly sweet and seem to lack alcohol. The service is consistently good, and although it's usually busy, the large space almost always has a table available. The restaurant is entirely outdoors, including the "indoor" seating, which isn't air-conditioned, so you won't escape the heat. I really feel for the employees. I'd recommend this spot mainly for the location, but don't go in expecting a perfect experience. read more

Unbelievable. Just reopened as Crabbys & 1st visit left me realizing nothing's changed. Same old tourist crap. "Four for drinks please". Hostess, whose zero personality was opposite the size of her HUGE spider eyelashes, stated, "If it's drinks only, you have to sit at the bar." Pointed out that there were no seats at the bar at 3:41pm on a cold windy Saturday afternoon, but plenty of empty tables between lunch/dinner services. "Sorry". Keep your crap food, watery drinks & tourists. Just like Palm Pavilion. Nothings changed. read more

We had such an incredible meal the first time we visited we decided to go back. Our mistake was we ordered something different and were disappointed. The smoked dish dip was like one of those tuna salad kits you buy at the grocery store. My husband ordered the Chicago dog and I ordered their signature burger. The hotdog was okay, but overcooked and dry, not the big juicy frank we were expecting. The burger was bland. I had to salt it, even with bacon and pepperjack cheese on it. I will say the service was great, even the hostess was friendly this time. And the view at sunset is stunning. We sat on the patio and it was a lot of fun with the live music at sunset--great vibe. I would recommend visiting this place but order the wasabi scallops and the cubano! read more

Always my choice for dining down at Clearwater Beach. We had a great experience, our server Cassidy was amazing. They always have great drinks and good specials. Today I was in the mood for a burger and fries, which was fantastic. They have a very nice outdoor shaded patio, very large dining room with a huge bar. They often have live music and they get some of the best artists to perform. The most challenging thing is to find parking, there is a very large public lot right in front of the restaurant but it's also a lot for people to park at the beach so my suggestion would be go early go to the beach and then have a nice lunch. read more

Great restaurant right on Clearwater beach with lots of seating so we quickly got a table overlooking the ocean. Our server, TQ, was friendly and attentive. Started with the piping hot grouper cheeks which were flaky with the perfect amount of batter. For my lunch i got the two tacos which come with a side of rice and beans. You're able to select from four choices: chicken , black and blue cheese skirt steak, shrimp or fish. I was expecting small street tacos, but they are double the size and filled! The skirt steak was perfect and tender with avocado and blue cheese and cabbage slaw. The shrimp one wasn't good--Tiny shrimp that tasted fishy. Couldn't eat that one. My bf got the three fish tacos and was happy. The seagulls are a little pesky for you're sitting outside on the deck. They definitely tried to get our grouper cheeks. It was kind of humorous. When I did leave to use the restroom one flew and got some of the shrimp taco I left. Would definitely go back. Perfect break for lunch while spending a day at the beach. read more

We had a party of 8 that were celebrating a 21st birthday for our friends' kid whom lives in Ohio. He came to Clearwater to celebrate with his family and friends. His ID expired on midnight of the day we were there, so it wasn't yet expired. They wouldn't serve him even though his ID was still valid. Horrible customer service. We went to several other restaurants and he had no problems. read more

Beautiful spot for a sunset view and a delicious meal. The food was pretty fresh and had plenty of flavor to satisfy my seafood craving. Although the drinks were alright but the price was pretty good. The service was average and we had to wait about 40 min to get a table. Not bad since it is beach front and we did enjoy the sunset. read more

So disappointed!Love the cold beer and ambiance, beautiful beach views at the Palm. BUT, today's meal was horrible. Ordered blackened fish tacos-fish was so overcooked, tough, chewy and dry and tasted so "fishy." Nothing fresh and appealing about the tacos at all. I mentioned this to Megan, when she asked how everything was...Her response, "I will tell the cook, but I only serve the food"-in a very rude way. She came to ask if we we were check or card, and never mentioned the "food issues." I told her we came here often, and today just wasn't good. She left without taking our card, waited on two more tables, left us sitting, and finally came back to ask if we wanted dessert. Really? At this point, I only wanted to leave. Gave her my card, paid the full amount, and left. We'll stop in for a beer-maybe- in the future..no desire to eat there again. Beth S. P. S. A "comped" piece of key lime pie would have certainly helpd! read more

Very nice bar restaurant on the beach , stopped in twice while on vacation, fried grouper was very good and their house soup was great, then at end of week I needed meat and the burger was awesome read more

Solid 4+ star expansion Food - Started with the smoked fish dip and enjoyed the sizable serving with crackers and veggies. Ordered the tacos and the palm grouper sandwich. Had a fish taco, a shrimp taco and the black and blue taco. All three were very good in their own way. I really enjoyed the blue cheese in the steak taco, but would probably say the shrimp was my favorite. The fish sandwich was very good fresh fish with a good coating. Coleslaw was an ok tropical type with pineapple, still trying to get used to the tropical type. Service - was able to get right in, but had slight issues with availability of table. Busy time and some confusion, but all turned out ok. Server was helpful and checked in regularly to make sure everything was good. Slight mixup on order, but made it right immediately. Ambiance - Is a really nice beach setting! Great atmosphere to watch a sunset or just look out on the beach. Definitely recommend for an all around good eating experience. read more
