This was the most over priced, poor quality food that I've had in a long time. We initially decided to check it out after looking at the menu online. Basic food at reasonable prices. When we got there we saw the menu prices had increased significantly. Inflation, I get it, but it felt like bait and switch. Here are the issues we encountered: - Had to buy bottled water @ $3, no cups of free water; - ordered a cheeseburger, no choice of cheese for the extra $1.25 and no choice of doneness. I am pretty sure it was a previously frozen patty. I can't understand why it is a burden to serve fresh meat. - the Ketchup bottle was the grossest thing I have ever seen in a restaurant. The bottle was ancient and obviously been refilled many, many times. The label was nearly off. The mustard came in a plain squirt bottle with no label. - the server had to take care of too many tables, both on the beach and under the tiki roof. She was very nice , doing the best she could. But she left to chase the birds off a table that had just left, in the middle of taking our order. read more

I LOVE the High & Dry Grill!!!! An afternoon to have a beer and relax - nothing better! The last couple times I've been there, Ilishia was our service and she was fabulous! The atmosphere is great, server was great and the food not too shabby - the quesadilla was crispy and very cheesy! this is the gem of the causeway!!!!! read more

So I ride my bike (long ride) specifically to get a beer and maybe an appetizer here. Hostesses seats me promptly and places a flag with a number on it by me. Not crowded at all, it's around 4:00 pm. So I look over the menu, play on my phone, no server. Watch three of them walk by, one looks at me like I got three heads, whatever, still no service. Wait longer just to get a beer order in, nothing. Good enough, I pack up and leave, totally ridiculous. The worst part is , the hostess and server looking and laughing at me as I walk down the ramp on my way out. Nice, real professional. Service is everything, no excuse. Thumbs down. read more

Lived here for several years and this is my first stop in. the hubs knew I had been wanting to go here so what better time than for our anniversary. Sat at the bar facing west and watched the sun fall in the sky. Ordered a couple of drinks, they have a nice choice of mixed drinks and drafts plus bottles. They have a pretty decent menu of food too. Staff were wearing masks. They have a pay station that is brought to your table so your card never has to leave your sight. Cleaning big time between customers. Several seats on the sand too, don't miss those. We will definitely return. Had a great time. Parking is spacious most of the time. read more

I was there today with a group of friends, my catfish was very salty and the fish itself very strong, must been in there freezer for a long long time. The server said she will tell manager. I paid for food I was able to eat. Bad business read more

Excellent food, delicious drinks & friendly staff! You won't be sorry for stopping by! If you have had a not so pleasant experience, come back & give another try... Sooo worth it!! read more

The view is great and our server Vinnie was awesome. The food is very underwhelming. Fish fingers are basically frozen fish sticks. The fish tacos might have been ok except for the one tiny piece of fish and the rest was lettuce. No sauce, no nothing else on them so they were really bland. The chips and queso and chips and salsa were hardly a serving and came out of a jar for sure. No one in the group hated their food, but no one was really wowed by it either. I did not have an adult beverage but those in our group said the same about the drinks... ok but nothing that stood out. read more

This place is a total dump. Don't even waste your time. Chicken sandwich was nearly raw, I'm currently sick. And I was surprised after I sent the food back, the waitress had the audacity to charge us 6.00$ for the two waters. Never coming back here again and recommend you don't either. What an embarrassment. read more

They make an amazing breakfast sandwich. Sailors delight. The kids that work there are great. The owner is worthless. I called the number to order food and she had the phone on her and. Wouldn't call the order into the restaurant for me. She said I had to go in and order because she took cell home. So in 2020 you have a business where nobody has a phone. She hung up. Very sad because the sandwich is great read more

Cocktails and the Catfish sandwich were outstanding, the fish was so crispy and delicious. The cocktails are a little pricey but they were perfect and tasted great. read more

Love coming here for sunset! The service is always great, decent drink options, snow cones for the kiddos and food if you're hungry although it's been hit or miss in my experience so i usually stick to just drinks. Overall, the atmosphere is laid back and it's worth checking out. read more

My favorite place to grab a beer and homemade brat (love these!) and just kick back! View is AMAZING - dolphins, birds, kayakers, swimmers, anglers, paddle boards, sailboats, etc. Service is great! Only thing I would recommend is replacing some of the chairs with simple bar stools. read more

Loved the grass shack on the beach for a snack or cocktail hour! Say, "Hi" to Glenn! read more

UPDATE: I'm giving another chance at this location due to communication from the owner, which is much appreciated and shows he cares deeply for his business and takes pride in his reviews - we believe everything deserves a second chance. I changed my review to 3/5. When we go again, If necessary I will change my review again. I'm giving one star because even though the food was small it was very tasty. Andrew, our server, was so nice! He was talkative and interacted with my daughter. But here comes the cons from our experience No highchairs available which makes eating with small children very difficult, the manger (Rebecca) came over and told us our 1 & 1/2 year old couldn't use her sippy cup, since it was an outside cup (we ordered her lemonade so it's not like they were losing business by us giving her an "outside drink". She gave us a cup, with a paper straw, which the paper was so thin, it was coming off, and my one year old was eating paper. But gave us plastic straws for us for our drinks. If you are looking for a cheap, easy place it's for you, but if you have kids avoid if possible. read more

First time at your restaurant our server Collins was amazing the food was simply Delicious the drinks were reasonably priced, a very enjoyable experience will be back. We had chili dogs they were Nathan's and we're off the grill the chili was homemade absolutely delicious love this place. read more

We went there to get brats and sausage. They come out with the brats and sausage and everything looks the same. I asked the waiter which is which and he didn't know. The cook comes out and guess what he didn't know. The manager on duty told us to go back to New Jersey, but we are from Chicago. Either way the food was horrible, it didn't help that we didn't know what we were eating. The drinks have no liquor in them at all. They are premade mixers, they do not have alcohol on hand there, which is something to think about when you get one of their "specialty" drinks. My boyfriend is a Marine and you think they would of took care of the situation. What a disrespectful place to be so rude to our service memmembers. Your response is laughable. How does a restaurant not know what they are serving? Ate it all ? I think you need to check your tapes because we had to spit it out. When I called you pretended to fire your staff. So it's weird how you are so different on Yelp. Your place is a fraud just like the lies you told on the phone. I feel sorry for anyone who lies. Yes United State Marine Corp, that you completely disrespected. Talking for him you have so much nerve as a business owner I feel sorry for your staff that was saying how rude you guys are to them. Get a life. read more

While the server was very courteous and the food was good, I give one star due to the treatment I received by the hostess. I went to use the purell sanitizer next to the hostess station. The hostess said "I filled that with covid for you." While I was surprised not only that an employee of the restaurant would make a joke at my expense on this subject, I was further dismayed that the comment was met with laughter by other employees surrounding her at the hostess station. read more

This could really by a special place. It has all the potential in the world. However, our experience on Saturday afternoon was a bit of a let down. We were excited to see we could sit outside and take in the fresh air after attending a Spring Training baseball game. An easy menu to figure out, decent seating, and some creative drinks. The young man who guided us to our seat liked his job. He was happy and cheerful and singing along to the tunes on the radio. It was nice to see. However, we ended up with a young lady server who hated her job. This made our experience less than positive and ended up costing the business money. As she came over to greet us, there were clouds of weed smoke that was coming from somewhere. We all kind of laughed. But she stated that "I have smelled that all day and I have a huge headache!" Ok, fine but please do not take it out on us. The food we ordered was good. An elderly lady (owner?) came by to check on everyone and she was friendly and fantastic. Our young waitress would return to the table only to give us our final tab. We each had one drink. We had planned to stick around for a few but we were rushed out by her. There was no shortage of seating. She just used no common sense and rushed us out with the check. She ended up costing herself money from a less than normal tip, and the business money for not serving more drinks. This place could be special. But the quality of the service by the waitress just made it another average experience. read more

Great place to relax with a cold beer and watch the sunset or catch some shade on a hot day on the beach! Highly recommend the chips and salsa! read more

I Have Been To High & Dry Many Times and it is an Excellent Spot with a Postcard View to Grab a Bite & The Beers Are Always Cold !! The Owner Glen Is Very Cool And an Excellent Host He Always Has The Beach Boys Playing In The Background,The Perfect Music For The Tiki Bar Atmosphere ! read more

Good in concept - a beach bar open until sunset-ish. Standard adult beverages and some bar food items, fries and burgers ordered from a sticky menu. It is pretty no-frills (outdoor seating only) and that's fine, as there's a great strip of beach to wander around. Service has been fine and dandy, nothing much to comment on there. They've put in more beach seating since I started going, e.g. some logs you can sit on - I know because one of the owners (I think), Glenn, was out at a beautiful sunset drilling em in and disturbing an otherwise great night. He is kind of obnoxious but everything else about this place is quite alright for what it is. read more

High & Dry Grill - Absolutely beautiful scenery, wonderful service! - Tiki Bars Near Me - Dunedin, Florida

Food and service was decent. Servers were nice. Owner/ manager was horribly rude and unprofessional.

I've been coming here for the last few years & always a amazing experience! Beautiful view! Great location! Normally amazing service, until this past time. I've never seen this server. But she was a older blonde lady & just came off rude from the get go. Only had a couple tables & I had to ask twice for a refill. Then when I asked for another, I was told there is only 1 refill aloud. I have never heard that anytime I have been here. I was literally just here last weekend with 4 kids & they never said anything to them about refills. I mean I don't care. I bought another drink, it's just the point. The guy i had last weekend was great! But This lady definitely left a sore taste in my mouth for this place now! read more

The view is awesome food is great drinks very are very tasty. friendly staff . Dolphin .Make it the best place to eat and drink. Kid friendly and there is things for kids to eat read more

Gross food. Had fried fish which was just fish sticks that were crispy outside but mushy inside with a tiny strip of fish. Fries were unsalted Luke warm but super greasy and weirdly textured like maybe they were fried twice in very stale tasting grease. No slaw, no pickle, no nothing with it. Server never came back to check on us. Iced tea had the flavor of Lipton instant. Filet o' fish meal from McDonald's is a much better. When I go to a restaurant I expect it to be at Least as good as McDonald's! If you're looking for seafood, go somewhere else. Might be okay for drinks and it is on the water (which is why you would think they would serve fresh seafood). However, the bar seating that faces the water is close to chin height making it weird to eat off. Chairs are uncomfortable and atmosphere is basic. Totally a squandered opportunity for this place. Such a great location and hardly any customers and I can see why. Response to owner: um, I'm not Shane. Look at my review history and you will see that my reviews are both good and bad depending on the quality of the establishment, food, service and the food was gross! Like I said maybe the drinks are good but I wouldn't count on it based on the low quality of the food. I was supper hungry and still could barely eat enough to take the edge off. Didn't ask for a refund but should have. Owner should take the criticism as an opportunity to improve the customers experience but clearly that's not gonna happen. There's at least 4 fish places/tiki bars 1/2 mile down the road, go there. read more

Loved this place, the view, the drinks-local brew and the sangria was really good! Super casual and laid back and easy breezy. We didn't order food so can't comment on that. Will definitely return often! read more

Great place! I tried shrimp for the first time here! It was very good! The waiter was so friendly!!

High & dry grill, just the perfect little beach spot, a wooden deck under a Tiki hut the breeze flows all around, the smell of salt air, some light music playing, not very loud, I really dislike loud music when I am eating. Amazing water views. Stopped in with a couple of friends for lunch. food was good, beer cold. The atmosphere is flip flops, bathing suit casual. They have picnic tables as well as some bistro tables on the sand if you want some sun. The sign in the corner just says [RELAX] I had the pulled pork sandwich, huge! and tasty and a tall Bud light in the aluminum bottle. Bill had the tacos with chips and fresh made salsa with a draught Corona and of course the lime slice hung on the side of the glass, we laughed about Bill's end of the table looking like a vacation postcard. Tom had the sweet Italian sausage, a house specialty with sweet peppers, bell peppers and Vidalia onions ground into the sausage. He said its probably not authentic Italian but very unique and very good. He topped with a glass of local Dunedin Brewery Red Head Ale. I could see some possible downsides 1. they are not a high volume fast food place, if our in a hurry, you will probably be disappointed but I much prefer watching sailboats and kayaks go by than sitting in another drive thru lane. 2. the bathrooms are a bit of a walk. 3. There is no inside dining available, just under the tiki hut. Keeping that in mind I highly recommend the high & dry read more

Great view! Nice servers. Great place to stop after Honeymoon Island for a beverage and a snack. I've only eaten French fries here. Menu is limited. Margarita/sangrias/wine/beer. They were out of club soda and "tap water" to drink - unless it's just they want to sell bottles of water. Told owner who happened to be sitting next to me that I would give him 5 stars - since he is just starting to get yelp reviews, a new place. He said thanks - if he gave out a free drink I might've kept it at 5 stars, since menu kinda unhealthy/dull, its 4. read more

Awesome place atmosphere is great. Service great and staff are super friendly. The food they have is great for a beach bar like place. Many items are fresh or home made. Enough drink choices to please everyone. If you want fine dining and a $150 steak and wine dinner go somewhere else. That is not the objective of this place. Snobby pompous people should avoid coming. You ruin the atmosphere. This is a hidden gem. If you visit enjoy it and appreciate it. read more

Awesome tiki bar on the beach. Any direction you look there's water. Laid back beach vibe - the reason you live in Florida. Custom made brats are delicious. Make sure you try the margarita with the wine bottle in it. Cause you're at the beach. read more

Oh my goodness, the pretzel balls are amazing! Drinks are high (maybe where the high in "high and dry" came from). I also had a hotdog and chips for a good price... was very basic but was also pretty cheap. Can't beat the view and the atmosphere. Other members of my family had pulled pork and were pleased with it! read more
