[[HIGHLIGHT]]The view is outstanding.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food not so much.The service was bad. The "host was a little weasel with no skills. If a little tiki reall needs a host they should find someo else. read more

The environment is nothing fancy, but it's one of our favorite places. It's pretty much a deck with a tiki hut built off a trailer, but it gives total beach vibes. It has the best sunset view around though it's always packed for that reason. The food is mediocre, not terrible not incredible. A great place to grab cold drinks, chips and salsa a fairly decent burger, shrimp tacos, a great chicken wrap, Chicago dog etc. I love to go on a late Sunday afternoon to watch the sunset. A wonderful way to wrap up the weekend. The staff may be busy, but they're always friendly and helpful. Just know it's not a five-star establishment if you go with that mindset you're gonna enjoy your visit. There's a place to sit under the tiki and they've also put additional seating in the sand. Sometimes the run out of menu items late in the day/end of weekend so be flexible. read more

I've driven past this place for years...today I stopped. I guess I thought this was just a beach bum bar so I never went in there. I almost never drink and I hate drunks (being an ex-bouncer). But, I was on the beach shooting photos and I caught the smell of hot dogs GRILLING. Yes, on actual FIRE! Not simmering in some dead-pool of steaming nitrate juice, but actually on a real flame. I asked to see a menu and sure enough, "Flame Grilled Hot Dog with Chips $2.50." The menu is simple: burgers, sandwiches, dogs, tacos, fish, and few misc. items. I found a spot to sit and waited and waited. The waitress who first brought me my menu was down on the sand talking to some other girls and I was getting tired of waiting to be waited on. So, I asked another waitress if I could order some food and she says "Sure, all you gotta do is say something!" Snarky. O.K., I'm REALLY GOOD AT SNARKY! I ordered two dogs and a Pepsi. As I waited, I began to look around and enjoy the view. Water on both sides; Clearwater Harbor to the south and St. Josephs' Sound to the north. All of it essentially the Gulf of Mexico. White shell-sand and palm trees bending in the breeze. The weather was beautiful and there were some nice looking bikinis walking around. The area where they do the cooking is an actual (small) building. The dining area attached is a wood-patio tiki-hut with a real thatched-roof. If it rains you're gonna get wet through the holes in the thatching! But, in nice weather it's almost perfect. Decent classic rock, not too loud on the speakers. Views in almost every direction. One complaint, the high-top chairs are horribly un-comfortable! Just flat barstools would be better. There is also some "outdoor" seating down on the sand. A kayak/paddle-board rental also shares the building. I got my dogs and they were fine. I think they sat waiting a few minutes before my waitress brought them to me because they weren't fire-grilled hot. Each dog came with a small bag of chips, so for two dogs I had plenty. I almost started to type a complaint about the wind blowing my napkins and road dust around but, IT'S AN OPEN-AIR, BEACH-BUM, BAR AND GRILL! That's what you expect! That's part of it's charm. P.S. The seagulls WILL STEAL YOUR FOOD IF YOU'RE NOT VIGILANT! The service was slow, not that I was really in a hurry, but if you are, this might not be the best choice. From the time I first walked-in 'till the time I received my food was almost half an hour. The waitresses had a little 'tude, but nothing that pissed me off. Their hours are 7 days, 10am 'till sunset. If you've got time to kill, this is a great place to get a bite to eat and enjoy a drink and some nice scenery. This is a real, actual beach bum bar. read more

Nothing can compare to the ambience as you're right there at the waters edge sitting on the beach having some of the best house made sausages around! The German potato salad and sauerkraut served with the polish sausage is wonderful. Their Montreal chicken wrap is excellent. The drinks could use a tad bit more alcohol. All in all a great place to have lunch or early dinner! read more

Perfect little hut to grab a drink and snack while on the Dunedin causeway either laying out or want something quick before heading out on the jet skis. They're a small establishment so they keep their menu short but sweet. We stopped in after work and enjoyed the view with a signature drink & chips and queso. GREAT PRICES! You won't see these prices anywhere with a beach view. Parking is beach/causeway-style parking....which means freeeeee Bathrooms are not within the restaurant. They are conventionally locates next to the beach bathrooms read more

So this is a convenient place to come after a long day at the beach if you just want to grab something quick before heading off the causeway. Otherwise don't bother. I've been here about 10 times and the service is always awful, it's really not the servers fault. They seem understaffed. The other day I came in and ordered a drink + chips & salsa. It took 30 minutes to bring me the chips and salsa (which weren't very tasty), and I ended up just drinking a water bottle from my purse because my drink never came. The waitress noted that my drink wasn't there and said she'd bring it out a few times. Pretty sure they were out of whatever. This week, my dad and I stopped in. He's visiting, and wanted to check it all out. We sat down for about 15 minutes and nobody spoke to us, or came to help us. They helped people who came after us. When we got up to leave, someone came to us and asked if everything was ok. We said "yeah we're just hungry so we're going to go to a restaurant". This is a snack joint, and they are working with limited space on the causeway. Don't expect much, and then you'll be impressed. As a local who has been renting boats/kayaks from the attached shack for 20 years, I'm not impressed at all. Hire a few more people, and cut the menu down if you're not able to keep up with it. You'll have happier customers in the long run. High and dry grill is FULL of potential. Hate to leave this review, I'll be back and I hope to have a better experience read more

Great location right by the beach on the way to honeymoon island -you can sit on the edge of the shack and look right out onto the water. The seats on the edge do fill up fast though so if you want to see the sunset, just be aware. They had many food items in addition to drinks, such as tacos, hot dogs, burgers, fried chicken fingers and fish sticks. I ordered the fried chicken strips which were surprisingly well seasoned with cumin, pepper, and other spices. If you're into spicy I recommend the spicy habanero sauce to dip! It also came with a side of fries which were nice as crispy and on the thicker side. I also got the fish strips, (~$10) which looked just like mozzarella sticks but are filled with fish. Those were also good but not as seasoned as the chicken strips(~10), and also came with a side of fries. I also tried their chili cheese hotdog (~$5), which was just your average hotdog with a bit of chili and some sprinkled cheese. It did come with a small bag of chips which did help with the small portion size. In terms of service, they were quick to get the order but it did take a while for food to come out. They also had an issue with getting orders mixed up so we had to ask about our fish strips twice before finally getting it. Overall, this would be a good place to grab a quick bite or drinks before or after the beach! read more

Food was not very appetizing, drinks were not very good either. Menu is very limited and not very appealing for a beach bar restaurant. Server was very friendly and bar is in a nice spot. I wouldn't visit again unless menu changes. read more

Awesome food and service. It's friendly and laid back. Come check it out !! Recommend it completely!

Nice Ambiance, decided to go somewhere else because the food images were no that exciting.

This is the place to go to relax with a gorgeous view and a gulf breeze. The food is not bad ... nothing fancy. The service was friendly! Close to home and a good place to enjoy the simple things in life ... read more

Worst food and drinks I've had in years. Don't waste your time. Great location, just horrible drinks and food.

Holy moly! Salsa & chips, simple, right? Salsa bad news. Margaritas & cosmos- also bad news. Hot dog was good. Waitress was great. New owners wrecked it. read more

Had a truly bizarre experience here yesterday evening. Stopped by with my friend for a bite and to watch the sunset. We were about to sit in some chairs and my friend wanted to be in the shade. So we pulled the chairs about 12 inches. The owner came over and told us we couldn't move the chairs because her wait staff had to get through. Weird thing is, we weren't blocking the walkway in any way. The chairs had 6-10 feet on any side. She snatched the chairs and started moving them. It gets weirder, because she moved them to a completely different spot than they were when we got there lol. She was very aggressive to my friend and I was stunned into silence and confusion. Additionally the place was practically empty, so even more puzzling that she was so particular. See attached pics. read more

I ventured out to the causeway today with my family for Easter. My grandmother wanted food and we found this restaurant right on the causeway, score! We ordered two servings of fries and chicken strips with honey mustard. I waited about 30-40 mins for my order and when it came there was a mixup and instead of making it to go it was made to stay but they quickly fixed the mistake and gave me ketchup packets to go. All in all it was typical beach food, good to fill you belly and get you moving. read more

High & Dry Grill - Tiki Bars Near Me - Dunedin, Florida

So, we tried High & Dry Grill today as we were looking to sit outside for lunch today. We've driven by this place numerous times, but this is our first visit. To be fair, I'm going to split this review into two parts. First, if you're looking for a place to get out of the sun, grab a beer and enjoy the view, this is a great choice. There are lots of places to sit, the view of the beach is awesome and it's close to the public facilities. As a beach bar, High & Dry fits the bill. Unfortunately, if you're looking for something to eat, I'd strongly suggest going elsewhere. While we tried to look for some redeeming factors during our visit, there were none to be found. Let me highlight a few disappointing/disturbing points. 1. I ordered unsweetened ice tea, but was presented with extraordinarily sweet tea. When I asked, I was told this was unsweetened. 2. Priscilla ordered the Boneless Bites with fries and I ordered the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with onion rings. To start, the menu described the Boneless Bites only as "hand cut dark meat". We assumed this meant chicken but asked our waitress just to confirm. She also assumed it was chicken. It's unusual to see dark meat chicken nuggets, but we're open to new experiences. We were presented with a basket of some overcooked meat bites and stale fries (please see pic) and a chicken sandwich with a few bits of burned onion ring pieces (please see pic). The waitress informed me that there would more onion rings on the way. The bun for the chicken sandwich was a bit soggy and the frozen chicken patty was extremely overcooked. Upon arrival, the replacement order of onion rings were under-cooked and not well presented (please see pic). Overall, a very disappointing meal. 3. While I am not sure of their current health department rating, I was concerned when I noticed one of the cooks. He was wearing a dirty baseball cap and had an extremely large beard and mustache, but no hair net in sight. This concerns me and make me think about other health safety issues that might exist. Why didn't we just send back our food and complain? Well, I have no issue in doing this if I feel that the problem was an honest mistake. In this case, I felt this was an issue of general poor food quality and practices and that sending it back would result in no major improvements. We probably won't dine here again, but would consider stopping in for a beer. read more

Service was friendly and fast. Views are excellent. The food needs help! The Italian sausage was the size of a hot dog and doesn't come with anything for $10.00. Fries are an extra $5.00. The beer was mostly Budweiser products..... read more

2 stars only for location, but the food was TERRIBLE. McDonalds would have tasted better. We shared the chicken wrap and the bratwurst. Would not recommend! read more

Location 5 stars Food quality 1 star, expectations were low and they still miss. Owner 1 star, very rude, brings the whole thing down. We know failure and success come from the top. Service - choose your own adventure, I'd wager the servers here will change 2x before you visit Solid 2 star review, if you are hungry and just wanted drinks, and are OK waiting too long, paying too much. for absolute mediocrity then definitely give it a shot! If you can drive 2 mins north go to Ozona Blue, if you can wait that long but are still hungry then go to Frenchys outpost. read more

So disgusting. Staff is rude and food has no flavor. Drinks are short poured. Whole place has no vibe. RIP OFF.

Service was excellent. Our waiter was friendly and on the ball. The drinks were great. We ordered chips and salsa and got what I would call gas station nacho chips with a cup of diced fresh salsa that was hard to scoop. Otherwise, I would have rated our experience a 5. read more

Yelped this place out for a cute, beachy vibe lunch. Sits right on the water. I had the chicken wrap, which was pretty big but just okay. Girlfriend got the bbq sandwich and fries. Something we could've cooked ourselves. Beer was cheap, margs were expensive. View wasn't what I wanted it to be. One server on at the time so service could've been better. Eh, place was nothing special but now we know. Three stars because the parking was free! read more

Really good food and relaxing atmosphere. We had fish fingers, fries, and vegan burger.

Great place to watch a sunset or dolphins go by. Tacos were fine. Shaved ice looks good. Don't waste your money on their signature cocktails, they're basically a giant glass of juice, ( would be better to serve in a smaller glass with less juice); noticed after I got my drink the locals all get beer or wine, so if you stick to that, it's a great place for a sunset ! read more

Greg, Amanda and Shandra were awesome! Love this place! Great atmosphere right on the water, really chill vibes and great service!! Will be a regular stop! read more

Service was pretty snappy and accurate. Ambiance was fun, tiki bar feeling. BUT ... food was just ... meh ... and in some cases, terrible. I ordered a Nathan's "authentic" hot dog - nothing could have been LESS authentic. It wasn't a REAL Nathan's dog - they have a unique flavor and crispness that lovers of Nathan's recognize immediately. Wet, soggy bun, few of the promised toppings that are standard on a REAL Nathan's dog. Had to ask for the rest of the toppings. (Did the Cook not have anything in the back that TELLS him how to make each dish??) Anyway, others in my party - 6 total - were mostly unimpressed and in some cases grossed out. A REAL New Yorker was grossed out by the Nathan's Hot Dog. A few people got the chicken wrap sandwich, and they said the sammies were just "okay". A few people had the Fish Sticks which were "supposed" to be fresh made from fresh fish but turned out to look more like something from the Gorton's Fisherman. Ate those fish sticks as a kid. Last person in our party got Queso and Chips which - again, were just "mehhh". Canned cheese warmed in the microwave. Wish they had a liquor license. It baffled me that they couldn't serve liquor. Hmmm...suss..... Great location to go sit on the beach, enjoy the sunshine or sunset and avoid going in the restaurant. read more

Location is excellent and service is excellent. Unfortunately, the 4 stars reflect the lack of fresh seafood and food selection. We definetly are not complaining about paying for the view and not the food. read more
