    Shrimp Saute
    Ashleigh C.

    Guppys might be my favorite restaurant of all time. I have never had a bad meal here and the staff is always amazing. It has a small beach, seafood restaurant vibe that I love. The Blue Crab Guacamole is my go to starter. Its light fresh and delicious. I love so many of their Entrees and tonight I got one of my absolute favorites the shrimp saute. No matter which entree I get I can not leave without the lobster mac n cheese. If the tiramisu is on the menu it is a must for dessert. I highly recommend checking out Guppys if you are in the area.

    Crab cakes(Dinner)

    We had an excellent dinner at Guppy's on Indian Rocks Beach! We arrived around 6:30 p.m. and were pleasantly surprised there was no wait. We chose to sit outside, and even with the Florida summer heat, the overhead fans kept the patio comfortable, making for a beautiful evening. Service was fast, friendly, and attentive throughout our meal. We loved the complimentary warm bread served with seasoned olive oil--it was a huge hit with the kids before our food even arrived. We started with the calamari, which was perfectly crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and served with two delicious dipping sauces. It disappeared quickly! For our entrées, the coconut shrimp was outstanding. The shrimp were large, coated in a crunchy toasted coconut breading, and paired perfectly with the orange blossom honey marmalade. The creamy garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, and roasted tomatoes rounded out a delicious plate. We also ordered the crab cakes, which were packed with lump crab meat, perfectly seared, and complemented by the Creole mustard aioli. Our kids were just as impressed! The kids' fish and chips meal came with a surprisingly generous portion of flaky fish, crispy fries, and fresh fruit, making it an excellent value. Our other child ordered the adult cheeseburger entrée and couldn't stop talking about how amazing it was. It was thick, juicy, perfectly cooked, topped with melted cheddar, and served on a soft bun with crisp lettuce and tomato. Every dish was beautifully presented, fresh, and full of flavor. Combined with the relaxing outdoor atmosphere and exceptional service, Guppy's delivered a fantastic dining experience. It's easy to see why it's such a favorite on Indian Rocks Beach, and we'll definitely be back!

    We made a reservation on 5/16/26 for outdoor seating but it was far too hot so we moved inside. The food was good. Not mind-blowing but decent. We ordered the grilled oysters and those were delicious. A couple little loaves of bread and olive oil with tasty herbs were brought with our appetizer and it was really wonderful and fresh. Both of us ordered a cup of the lobster bisque, but I didn't care for it as it tasted more like artificial crab than it did lobster. I sent it back and got the mixed salad. I ordered the swordfish entree and it was really wonderful. After dinner, hubby and I split a slice of key lime pie which was really good but not great. Service was awkward as our server was a little inattentive and it delayed our evening longer. So overall the food was really good (bad lobster bisque) but service was lacking. I'd try it again if we are in the area, as not every server is the same.

    Not that they need another glowing review, but I'll leave one nonetheless. I was hoping to get Shrimp n Grits but server said they didn't have that item. So I went with the Pork Chop and it was excellent. That's coming from someone that doesn't usually like pork chops. But this was so moist and not like those that are overdone. We also really enjoyed the Lobster Bisque and Mushroom Bisque even though it wasn't soup weather at all. Definitely make reservations no matter what day of the week. You may have a better chance at lunch without a ressie.

    Surf & Turf

    On the Fourth of July, we had a wonderful lunch at Guppy's on the Beach, a true local gem in Belleair Beach. The restaurant is well‑known among residents for its fresh seafood, and it absolutely lived up to the reputation. We ordered the Surf & Turf and the Fresh Blackened Grouper, both cooked perfectly and full of flavor. For dessert, we shared a refreshing key lime pie that was the perfect finishing touch. Guppy's has officially become our favorite restaurant in the Belleair Beach area, and we'll definitely be coming back.

    We've been here many times. More recently in the last year as we moved super close! Guppy's is such a great vibe for beach dining. The food is amazing. Everything on the menu is great. Our go to's are usually oysters, lobstercargot, burrata, steak & lobster, and the pork chop (it's a delicious choice for those not wanting seafood or steak) My husband likes his steak Pittsburgh rare and he's very picky. His steak is always perfectly made. I love stone crabs and had to try them this time. We love Guppy's for a celebration dinner. We celebrated my parents 30th here and our daughter chose Guppy's for her bday dinner this year. The service is always delightful and they actually remember you when you come back! Great touches that make it an elevated beach dinner.

    Jumbo Coconut Shrimp with Fries
    Alison M.

    Stopped in to Guppy's for lunch and had a great experience from start to finish. We were greeted warmly and seated right away, which is always a nice start. The atmosphere was calm and quiet--perfect for a relaxed midday meal. Our server, Natalie, was genuinely friendly and helpful, and her recommendations were spot on. The jumbo coconut shrimp were fantastic--served hot, perfectly crispy, and absolutely delicious. Everything felt easy and welcoming, with attentive service without being overbearing. Guppy's is a solid choice in Indian Rocks Beach for a laid-back lunch with great food and service. We'll definitely be back.

    A great restaurant with a lot of outdoor seating and mercifully air-conditioned indoor seating. Fairly priced items that leave you satisfied-- a standout for me was the unique fish chowder which was rich with flavor and surprisingly came with hot pepper sherry and rum which really worked in balancing out the richness. My partner ordered a short rib sandwich that was great-- good bread by Florida standards and with tender meat. Our server was incredibly attentive and good-natured. Great place to go while at Indian Rocks Beach!

    Guppy's Seafood Bowl
    Cassy N.

    We ate at Guppy's on a Saturday night and it was packed! Highly suggest making a reservation because we got sat immediately which was great. We chose inside because of the heat, but there was actually plenty of fans outside to help keep it cool. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and gave us good recommendations. We got one seafood and one chicken dish with a Caesar salad. The chicken and salad needed more sauce/dressing, and the asparagus was a bit bland. The seafood bowl was a treat! There was everything you could want with a great flavorful broth and good value for the money with a lobster tail. Next time I would try a steak or pork chop for a land option, but we will be back!

    Fish & Chips
    Mindy P.

    This is a 3.5 review. Located across the street from the beach with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, Guppy's doesn't quite match its name. Service was quick. Though our waiter seemed less than interested in the menu and in helping us figure out what is best. I ordered the Paloma cocktail, which was actually quite flavorless, surprisingly. Wouldn't get that again. We ordered the fish spread, which was good. I haven't had it before. It was especially good with the toppings--jalapeno rings, capers and red onions. I also ordered the fish and chips, which I normally don't do unless it's worth it. This one was intriguing with sea bass. It was a large piece of fish, flatter than I expected for sea bass. The batter was crispy and delicious and the fish was light and flaky. The fries were average. I read a lot of good reviews for this place, but it wasn't above average in my opinion, compared with many others like it.

    Margarita
    Melissa P.

    The food was really good. We had the chicken quesadillas, the grouper tacos and the oysters. Great drinks! The service was excellent he was very attentive and friendly. The ambiance is relaxed.

    When we drove by we thought it was another beach sports or dive bar from the outside. When you enter you realize it is much more upscale. We loved the lobster bites appetizer, honey margaritas and espresso martinis. We also recommend the shrimp and grits. Nice place off the beach for family and friends and a great meal.

I called ahead to check on the wait and they said it would be…read morea while, but my husband and I decided to stop by anyway and hope we could maybe sit at the bar. To our pleasant surprise, we were seated right away even though the restaurant was very busy! They initially placed us in a booth and we kindly asked if there was a table near the window since they had a great view of the water. The hostess checked and found us a table next to the window. Great start so far. Our server was pleasant, though service was a bit slow. But again, the restaurant was very busy so we understood and were just happy to enjoy a meal there. It was our last night on the beach and we were very hungry, so we decided to order a bunch of items: Espresso martini Bread basket Lobster bisque Smokin' fresh tuna spread Sushi Red grouper (catch of the day), Indian shores style with shareable side of au gratin potatoes Red grouper (catch of the day), wood fire grilled with mashed potatoes Shareable side of charred asparagus Our server spaced them out and brought out the drink, the bread, the soup, and tuna spread first. The bread was supposed to be sourdough, but when the basket came out I noticed it didn't look or taste like sourdough so we checked with the server and he informed us that they ran out of sourdough so they gave us basically a French baguette. This was surprising and quite disappointing because we should have been notified of the change right away. Also concerning for allergies, but fortunately, we didn't have any. Then came the sushi and finally the entrees. Almost everything was delicious. One of the grouper entrees was a bit overcooked, but we really enjoyed the sides. The espresso martini was smooth and strong. Even though I always make room for dessert, we decided to skip because by the time we finished our entrees, we had already been there for two hours. We were ready to turn in for the night. Overall, we had a good experience and we were very grateful to be seated right away despite them being very busy. We would also recommend the food. It's a great restaurant with a nice variety.

Again, it's across from the beach so tourists & locals are filling it fast. The table we had was excellent. It had a view of the gulf. Our server, Jerry, was personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. He helped us navigate the menu. The food and the wait time is what fell short for us. We were there for an over two hours. We ordered the Calamari appetizer. It wasn't as spicy as it was described on the menu. When we ordered our main dishes & Al a carte side items, the service slowed. Jerry visited our table a few times to note that he was checking the kitchen because our food was taking forever. We never even mentioned this to him. He noticed and kept checking. I appreciated that. For mains:I ordered a NY strip rare which was market price ($41) I found this out when the check came out. This was the longest and skinniest looking strip I've ever seen. The ends were completely overcooked. The middle was cooked properly so only part of my steak was edible. My friend ordered chicken Alfredo. This was the strangest dish. There wasn't even sliced grilled chicken on top. I would expect at least that from a high quality restaurant. Instead, there were chunks of chicken in it and some random asparagus. Out of the kindness of his heart, Jerry comped our appetizer and offered us a free dessert. It was a nice touch and we tipped him well. We asked for our dessert to be boxed because we were tired after the longest dinner I've ever had to wait for. This place came highly recommended and has great ratings, but I will not be returning. I hope you have a better experience than we did. Jerry was the star of the show here. Fantastic employee. The food? Not so much.

The atmosphere was relaxed, the service was attentive, and the food definitely kept us coming back for another bite. Here are our favorites: Hangry Jen Pasta - The name says it all! This dish is huge and easily shareable. Rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Seafood Enchiladas - Loaded with seafood, incredibly flavorful, and topped with plenty of melted cheese. Cheese lovers will be in heaven. Petite Filet Medallions with Potatoes - The steak was perfectly tender and seasoned beautifully. The potatoes were the perfect complement and soaked up all the delicious flavors. Lobster Bisque - The standout of the meal! Every person at the table took a bite and immediately agreed this was a winner. Rich, creamy, and layered with spices that linger just enough to keep you thinking about your next spoonful. Onion Rings - Crispy, classic, and exactly what you'd expect from a good order of onion rings. Calamari - Lightly battered and cooked well. It wasn't my personal favorite, but everyone else at the table really enjoyed it. If you're in the area, Coco Wood Grill is definitely worth a visit. And if you're planning to go during peak dinner hours, I'd recommend calling ahead for a reservation. We'll definitely be back!

I called on a Monday evening for reservations for 8 people for the following Saturday evening at 6pm and requested the room near the bar. I was told no problem - they could put two tables together for us. She took my name and phone number and all was good. Saturday afternoon at 4pm I received a text from Coco's stating they could not seat 8 people in the bar area - 6 people is the most they can take. I explained what happened when I tried to use their online reservation app and it kept messing up that I called and spoke to someone there who I assumed was the hostess. She asked me for the persons name and I did not remember it (5 days earlier) The hostess on the phone didn't care and again stated that the largest party allowed in that room was 6 people. I asked why she waited until 2 HOURS before the reservation to call me and she said she and the other hostess came in that night at 4 pm and saw the reservations then. I asked her if she could seat us in the main dining room and she said no they could not. This is inexcusable and bad policy to not review reservations in advance in order to notify patrons of an issue. So Saturday night before Fathers Day, 8 people -4 dads-were left to hang out to dry.
