    Surf & Turf
    Luciana X.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Jumbo Coconut Shrimp with Fries

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    This was supposed to have been completed over three years ago, but sat in my drafts... Sat inside, had great service and the food was delicious! Great location; Indian Rocks Beach is one of my favorite spots!

    I'm so glad we turned around to eat at Guppy's. It was very easy to park, with parking on both sides and the rear of the restaurant. The weather was perfect to enjoy a meal outside and the food was fabulous. We had the Parmesan crusted grouper, with lobster risotto and beans with corn and a wagyu beef burger with mushrooms, Swiss cheese, bacon and sweet Vidalia onion jam. The jam on the burger was a game changer. It added the perfect layer of additional flavor. Rebecca was one of the best waitresses we have had in a long time. She kept our drinks filled and returned with any requests we had quickly. She was very attentive to her customers. The inside of the restaurant was unique with several smaller dining areas and a big bar. The restrooms were interesting with each being its own individual stall and very clean. I would recommend stopping at Guppy's if you are in the area.

    This place is amazing. My favorite place on the beach. Service and food is amazing. We had the calamari and I have to say the lemon sauce served with it was incredible. I had the scallops and they just melted in my mouth. They were so buttery and the plantain was delish. My daughter had the salmon and risotto which was so good. Dessert was also amazing although we were so full it took everything we had to finish it. We will definitely be going back.

This place has that classic laid-back beach seafood vibe with fun, colorful decor and really great outdoor seating. It feels relaxed and local, exactly what you want after a day near the water. The food was great! The seafood gumbo is outstanding. Rich, tomato-forward with just the right amount of spice and packed with seafood, vegetables, and rice. It's comforting and flavorful without feeling heavy. We also had fresh oysters that were clean, briny, and exactly what you hope for when you're this close to the ocean. My favorite was the blackened seafood combo. Perfectly seasoned shrimp and scallops with a beautiful crust from the blackening spices. Great flavor, juicy inside, and served with crispy house chips and slaw that kept the plate balanced and fresh. And a shout out to our server Nikki, who was fantastic. She was on point the entire time, super friendly, and brought such great energy to the table. Service like that makes the whole experience even better. If you've driven past and hesitated because of the reviews like we did, give it a try. It's one of those unpretentious local seafood spots that quietly delivers really solid food. We'll definitely be back.

    I dream about this place all the time. It's exceptional service everytime. The food comes out…read morefairly quickly and taste dynamite every single time. You order at the counter when you walk in and you can sit down anywhere. They have indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is fairly clean and very organized and the condiments are always stocked. They have a self serve water and soda station. The lobster is on the pricier side. It used to not be $30 however it is very worth it. I love to get the warm lobster roll and it comes with a lobster butter. I like to get their coconut shrimp since it's hand battered on site and also their onion rings are also hand battered made to order. They have a really good smoky dipping mayo sauce that comes with the onion rings or fries. It is a very good sauce. I would say it's the saltier version of cane sauce and a small gear version as well. It's absolutely phenomenal. You will never find a better coconut shrimp or a better onion rings than here this place really does it very well better than any place I've ever had homemade. The lobster roll is very very fresh. I would definitely get it again. It is always always fresh. You'll never get a bad lobster roll here not like at the other places. I think this is the only place in Florida that does it the best I used to fly to Boston just to get a lobster roll and ever since I've been here I don't have to do that anymore lol. Their clam chowder soup is extra thick and that is the best type of clam chowder soup ever I loved just dip my onion rings in there and the coconut shrimp in there and the lobster roll in there. It is absolutely delicious. The best you'll get in the area.

    Great place near the beach and a short drive from Clearwater beach area…read more This place is small about 5 tables inside and a couple outside. The food is amazing. Coconut Shrimp - skip the fries and slaw and get the cup of chowder. The chowder is packed full of calms and is super delish. Ask for regular cocktail sauce this one comes with chili sweet sauce which is good but also over powering. The shrimp are HUGE you get about 6-7 of them. Garlic shrimp roll - flavor of goodness. Comes with fries we substituted for onion rings. Fried shrimp basket - nicely fried with slaw and fries. The staff were all super nice.
