Absolutely delicious meal! We had a dinner here on vacation and every meal enjoyed by our party of 8 was incredible. Appetizers were amazing and we will definitely be back! Our server Brandon was attentive to all of our needs and took GREAT care of us! Ambiance of the restaurant was wonderful both outside on the patio/ bar area and inside! Fan favorites: Key Like Oysters Coconut Shrimp Imperial Sauce (ordered on grouper) Baystar Sushi read more

Firstly, a seafood restaurant that has run out of half of its fish dishes before 6pm is not acceptable. Seated in the overflow section despite making a reservation (to celebrate a birthday), the ambiance was not the best but acceptable. We ordered two drinks from happy hour, and neither tasted anything like what we ordered. Our appetizers came on time and were good but then after finishing those and waiting over 45mins we gave up waiting. Again, not acceptable. The waiter was apologetic and caring but that is the only way they got one star from me. There are better places. read more

This is our first time eating at this location. Our evening was perfect. We had a great seat outside and our server Shane was excellent! Such a pleasant guy! Both our meals were delicious. We will definitely return next year when we visit Indian Shores again. read more

First time dining at Salt Rock Grill of Indian Shores and it was a nice experience. We had a large party this evening and our service was very efficient. We ordered a variety of foods from the extensive menu selections. Fish was cooked excellent, desserts were great!! Manager also stopped by to check on us at the end of the night which was nice. Definitely recommend this establishment for great food and efficient service!!! read more

Stopped here for an early dinner for my friends bachelorette. The food took 45 minutes to come out despite the restaurant not appearing busy in the late afternoon. Server did not mention anything about the long wait. The salad of the sea was not the best - avocado was browning, iceberg lettuce, and seafood was a bit undercooked. The supper club deals were a good price 25$ for entree, salad, and dessert (cobbler was on the sweeter side). The best dish my friend ordered which was the Thai curry which I tasted a bit of and was tasty! read more

We've been dining at Salt Rock for over 15 years and initially it was great. The ambiance with the water and the overall vibe was what you want when at the beach. Last night we ate there and I couldn't be more disappointed. We were seated in the sushi bar room and I felt like I was in a cafeteria. The seats were plastic and cheap, table was broken, and they have these moveable fern-like hedges to separate the room that kept moving a looked so cheap. A big tip jar at the sushi counter looked really tacky for a restaurant that considers itself at a higher scale. The host staff acted like they wanted to be anywhere but working - totally unfriendly. The food was fine, but the value was not worth the $500+ for 5 adults. This used to be our favorite restaurant along Gulf Blvd, but it has clearly gone downhill. Don't anticipate going back anytime soon. read more

I have been here before but it had been a really long time, and it lived up to what I remembered! I came with a large group and the service was still excellent. We got a table with a very nice view of the water, which I really enjoyed. Our server gave us a rundown of the menu, answered our big group's many questions, and the service was fairly quick. We ordered the bread to start, which was absolutely delicious and served with a very herby olive oil for dipping. I also tried the clams casino appetizer which was delicious as well. For my entree, I got the macadamia crusted redfish (one of the catch of the day options) with garlic mashed potatoes. The macadamia crust was crunchy and flavorful, and sauce underneath was delicious. The mashed potatoes were very flavorful and cooked perfectly. I really appreciate that they catch their own fish or fly it in, and you can even see the boats they use to catch it! You can tell that everything served is high quality, which justified the higher prices. The manager also came over to our table at the end of the night to check on us and make sure we enjoyed everything. It was a great experience overall! read more

Salt Rock Grill is on the inter coastal so the view from this restaurant is very scenic. The server started out a little on the slow side and picked it up after that. We came for the early bird specials and ordered the Filet kabob and the Fisherman's platter. I also ordered a lobster bisque appetizer and regretted the choice. I can't say it was bad as I'm sure people like it but it was too sweet for my liking. The filet kabob was cooked and seasoned right and very tasty. The scallops and shrimp were lightly breaded and pretty tasty. The fish of the day, that came with the platter was red fish. The fish was over battered and too dry, fried and dried like a potato chip. The dinners also came with bread (fresh baked) salads, and desert, which were all good. The EB meals really were an exceptional value and I would recommend this establishment. read more

SOLID 5 STARS! Two words: STONE CRAB! My son and I took out my 90 year old mother because she wanted stone crab claws. We ordered 2 lbs of the Large Crab Claws ($53 per pound), these were the mid priced claws (Choices were medium, large, and jumbo). The claws came with a tasty dipping sauce and were the meatiest stone crab claws I've ever had. We selected our entire meal from the appetizer menu. Stone Crab Sushi ($25), 1doz raw oysters, 1 doz Parmesan baked oysters, Grouper soup, and a huge meatball. 3 people ate 9 appetizers and we each also had a martini with blue cheese stuffed olives (With extra olives, because there is no such thing as too many blue cheese stuffed olives). Throughout the entire meal, our waiter Jaime was on the ball. He knew the entire menu and daily specials by heart. He Made suggestions without being pushy. He brought extra napkins and lemon wedges without being asked. Every time a water glass became close to half empty, it was filled. Every used dish was whisked away. I cannot think of a single thing he could have done to provide better service. A fantastic meal with a high price tag, but worth every penny read more

Excellent steak, fish and seafood located in Indian Shores, intercostal. Beautiful location. Daily specials that include fresh catches of the day. The menu includes something for everyone. Perhaps the "supper club" special will intrigue you?!? We made reservations for our early Saturday evening dinner. We requested the patio and wee seated immediately. Our server, Steven, was prompt and absolutely on the ball. For me, grouper is always my favorite selection from the menu, and I was in luck as it was the black grouper fish for the day. What we had: *** New York Strip steak with lobster tail **+ Grilled Black Grouper with cheddar cauliflower *** Pecan Crusted Black Grouper with garlic mashed potatoes. The steaks were cooked to individual likings. The black grouper..both ways were each equally decadent! This place will not disappoint a meat eater or fish and seafood lover. read more

This was the best experience we've had in a long time. The dinner started with our great waiter, Brandon. He took the time to make us feel welcomed and didn't rush our interactions. He seemed excited and knowledgeable about the menu. The menu is huge. There are a lot of choices, mostly seafood and beef. I had the twin filet minion sliders. They were cooked to a perfect medium rare and had an amazing horseradish sauce. I loved these little guys. They were served with fries and I had a house salad with house made vinaigrette. My wife had an item on the "supper club (early bird)" menu. She had the Atlantic Salmon Rosette, mashed potatoes, Caesar salad and a little cobbler dessert. Her plate was clean by the end of the evening. The restaurant space was beautiful. Huge windows overlooking an inland waterway. There are several different rooms including outdoor tables, a huge sunroom area, lots of tables by widows and a large central space. Great evening. read more

Salt Rock is great! Had an early dinner this evening with a few folks from work. Had a table overlooking the water, elevated a bit over the back patio. Great views! Great service and great food as well. The sourdough with oil/seasoning was a delicious kickoff (warm and delicious!). Also had a kabob appetizer with chicken and steak, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Even served with a cast iron fire bowl so you can heat it up more if you'd like, smelled delicious and made for a perfect char. I ordered the pork chop and it was the best chop I've ever eaten at a restaurant. Tender but with a perfect char on the outside. The sauce was sweet but not overpowering. Mashed potatoes were the perfect compliment. They even bought us small desserts to enjoy after we finished our meal. Server was fast, attentive, and nailed every bodied order. Really a must try in the area. read more

Came here with a group of friends and the one of the hostess was so rude. One of our party had difficulty walking and they gave us a table in the sun. This person made us walk all the way back and then the senior hostess says that the table I suggested was the one we should have been seated. I asked for the manager and told her that this was horrible service to start our journey here. So after that fiasco, we placed our appetizer orders. I selected the Key Lime Oysters with a Classic Mojito. The atmosphere was quiet and conducive to spirited conversation. I decided to go with the Black Grouper with Gulf Shrimp, Crab, and Scallops topping. I got my oysters and they were delicious. The parmesan and garlic are perfect. I want to say again the atmosphere here is great for families or meeting with friends. Conversations can be heard up and down the table. My entree and most of my party's was fresh caught. The day's catch is removed at the end of the day. My meal has arrived and as you see it looks great. We are starting to converse more and I can't be rude to my friends so I will say it tasted great. I'm going to give them 3 stars based on the first impression. Without that they would have had 4.5 stars. read more

Excellent customer service. For some reason our open table reservation didn't come thru so the staff easily booked us in the next hour. We were greeted right away and taken to our table. We preferred inside at this time as the temperature dropped at night. We still had a nice view of the water. We started with their ceviche and lady sunset roll. Unfortunately they were out of the hogfish as part of their catch of the day. Instead I enjoyed the Chilean sea bass. My husband has their rib eye steak. We finished off with a slice of caramel apple pie with vanilla ice cream. It was delicious anniversary dinner and the service was superb! read more

Food was good but not memorable. Plus the first two things my friend ordered "they were out of". Understood this happens but you need to let the patrons know as soon as you hand them the menu not after waiting 20 min to order - then tell them so they have to try to scramble to find another "backup". Makes for a bad experience (see: food not memorable) Service was a bit slow and disjointed (see: out of two dishes above). . Eg my friend order fish w a topping and they forgot the topping. He told the server who instantly committed to bring it - but never did. Ambiance is VERY loud - but it was a very busy night. Had reservations at 8:00 but still waited 15 min to be seated. Not worth the $250 for four that we spent (and I just a salad and an app) A "crab shack" type place would have suited us much better and had $100 leftover read more

Wonderful experience! Our party of 6 split between black grouper and swordfish.wood grilled with garlic mashed potatoes. Pinot Grigio perfectly paired. Shannon our server was fantastic! The restaurant is quite loud but enjoyable. Finished with the apple crisp pie with vanilla ice cream. Delicious! read more

If you're looking for a great place to go that's not too fancy but also isn't your typical chain restaurant, you've found it! I recommend coming for the early dinning menu as they have a large selection with 3 courses for only $25. It's a great location and I don't think there's a bad seat in the whole restaurant. The view of the intercostal is breath taking and the perfect backdrop for any meal. Our server heather was super knowledgeable and attentive to keeping our table clean! I highly recommend her as she had a great deal of patience for any questions we had! Now to the most important part: the food!! My favorite item was the Mahi Mahi off the early dinning menu! It was super light and delicious, and paired with homemade style mash potatoes. The house salad has an amazing one of a kind lemon vinaigrette & the bread to open up with was warm with the perfect crisp. I highly recommend going for a first date, an afternoon lunch, or just a special night out! It fits all & tastes great. read more

Ok...what can I say? We have lived here two months and have already eaten here 6 times.

Jerry was amazing. But the food was not. I didn't take pictures of the food but I did of my receipt. Almost 400 dollars. Food was bland. Timelines was way off waited way too long. Filet was bland. Scallops were cold. Bacon was under cooked. Clam casino was ok. Salmon was cold but flavorful. I rather go get fast food. Over priced underwhelming. I would spend twice as much if I had quality food. 3 hours we spent there because of the timing. I wish the managers actually made table visits. I would have not left this review. read more

Came for Mother's Day with our two small children and had an incredible meal from start to finish ! Very friendly service from Brandon, our waiter! Loved that you could have a more upscale experience inside, or more casual on back patio which is what we opted for with the kids. (BTW there is a playground right behind it) Food was incredible! I could eat an entire plate of the brussel sprouts for dinner alone! Great steak!! Can't wait to come back next year when we visit again ! read more

Returned again and got the strip steak dinner....Steak was good and cooked right...They dont offer real A1 but rather have their own A1 for $3 extra...At first I didn't care for it but then I started liking it more and more as my eating continued lol....Garlic mashed potatoes were tasty.. .Cesar salad was fine too...A few days before this bread was complimentary...Now it's $4...PRO TIP: Really get a lot of those herbs and spices from the dipping oil on your bread for full flavor...Also, steak and other beef on their menu used to have prices....Now it's all MKT....A year ago a strip steak here was $39....This night it was $51....A 30% increase in just one year. read more

Just had another amazing meal at Salt Rock Grill in Indian rocks Florida. The atmosphere is always amazing and now with the Christmas decorations up it's very warm and inviting. For a change I got the ribeye steak instead of fish and it was cooked to perfection rare plus along with garlic mashed potatoes. Shane recommended the candied bacon as an appetizer, and it was excellent. Shane is a brand new waiter to the restaurant and he gave excellent service. You should ask for him when you come here because he goes out of his way to make you feel comfortable and welcome. read more

Came for the Supper Club Early Menu mainly because we didn't have reservations. We were very tired from kayaking and it was time to head home after a nice dinner. We wanted to stop somewhere nice and this fit the bill. My wife had wanted to come here on a prior business trip, but was not able to come and had been talking about it. I want to add that this location is on a small hill (hurricane) which has steps and a steep ramp. The parking lot has some unleaveld areas so be careful with elderly and disabled. We arrived right after opening and were seated quickly. The wait staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and genuine. I usually get some banter, but this felt like a earnest attempt to learn about us and our dining needs. FYI CURRENT MENUS including Supper Specials are all online at website I saw some of the 1* ratings and they usually seemed to be very harsh about one issue that occurred during the visit while still mentioning other positives. Don't know why people jump to a 1* when they had a meal and paid for it. Anyway just my 2 cents. We started with a cocktail and Baystar Mojito which was on the supper special (happy hour). They also provided bread with olive oil and fresh herb drippings. We also tried the escargot which arrived still boiling in butter and was AMAZING. I ate off the supper menu with the beef K-Bob and garlic mashed potatoes which was amazing, and moderately portioned (no chance of leftovers, but filling). I was also admiring the meat display with the cuts in a refrigerated cabinet and the large walk-in wine room in glass at the entrance. The wine menu is a high point and point of pride of this location. The bathrooms were very clean and tidy. My wife had a catch of the day which she loved. There is outdoor seating and an enclosed glass area in the back with water views. We were in the front area between the entrance station and the bar. Right at 5:30pm the place began to fill quickly. Many patrons for the midweek, so make reservations or try coming at opening. I saw some reviews were even reservations had to wait. Anyway, we had a great time and felt the expense was justified by the quality of the facility, the offerings and the care given in service. I'm sure service may be an issue when busy as this is a popular location. read more

4.1 Stars Salt Rock Grill has a really cool, upscale beach vibe with a great ambience that makes for a memorable dining experience. From the moment we walked in, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive--top-notch service all the way. The food was really solid. I had the stuffed mahi mahi with a baked potato, and it was excellent. The Thai salmon was also delicious--super flavorful, though I personally wish it had a bit more heat to it. While the seafood impressed, the steaks were a bit of a letdown. A few people in our group ordered them and felt they didn't quite match the price point. They looked great, but the flavor and tenderness just weren't there for what you pay. All in all, I'd definitely recommend Salt Rock Grill for the atmosphere, great service, and tasty seafood--just maybe skip the steak. read more

We were celebrating my sister-in-law's birthday last night and were promptly seated on the patio. We ordered cocktails from our server, Vidal, who displayed a rude demeanor and seemed to be in a constant rush throughout the meal. When we requested a correction on a drink that contained an insufficient amount of Captain Morgan--essentially appearing clear--he took it back but returned with the same drink. On a positive note, the food was delicious and delivered in a timely manner; my Hog Grouper was prepared to perfection. However, the rushed service was quite disruptive, as he hurried us out and appeared to be overwhelmed, possibly due to managing too many tables. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. read more

Amazing From start to finish. From the Bartender outside in the tiki type bar to the sushi and suggestion of the soy Paper rolls, my husband's grill fired Fish and drinks was also superb.

Wow, wow, wow!!! This is now my favorite restaurant in the world!!!! okay, so this place is very unassuming. It looks like a standard American restaurant. Nice, but not super fancy. The night we came, the staff was overwhelmed, so this affected our dining experience. Our server was frantic, rushing, and unable to really slow down and take his time explaining the menu or listen to what we wanted to order. Because of that, I had very low expectations. Now, their food menu is massive... so many options and even different types of food. I thought the food would be mediocre bc never have I ever seen a restaurant with that many food options pull everything off correctly... well, they DID! We got the tuna three ways (not clarified on the menu, but this is actually a sushi roll). It was incredible! We got the chicken, steak, and pork kebabs- every bit of flavors and tender, juiciness made each bite delectable. I got the pecan crusted grouper and my aunt got the scallop crusted (literal scallops) seabass. We also got potatoes au gratin (delicious but the potatoes weren't as tender as expected) and the cauliflower au gratin, in addition to spicy margaritas and old fashions. This could've easily been a 5 star, but the service wasn't as special as the food. Also, the margaritas were served in a regular beer or soda glass ... nothing impressive or girlie! I would go back to Clearwater JUST to dine here it was THAT good! read more
