Recently tried Salty Soul Island Kitchen in Dunedin, great Floridian food! Located in Dunedin, Salty Soul is a relatively large, open kitchen/bar concept. The decor feels very Florida. Seashells, turquoise, wicker furniture and surfboards- love it! The music is also very laid back. The spicy margaritas were incredible. The lime juice was fresh and the tajin portion was generous. I got the fish sandwich, which was Mahi Mahi that day. I got it with garlic Parmesan asparagus. The grilled fish was light, buttery and tender. The bread was warm and the lettuce and tomatoes fresh. The asparagus was earthy and savory, so good! Also loved dipping everything in the house tartar sauce, tangy and delicious. The service was great. Super laid back, friendly and attentive. Great restaurant to relax in and eat good, fresh food. read more

Great little spot. Great energy and vibe! Highly recommend sitting outside on the porch when the weather permits! My husband enjoyed a double smash burger with Big Sur sauce with a side of mango slaw. He gave both very high marks. I got the chicken salad wrap with feta and the Baja sauce (a chipotle lime flavor). It was OUTSTANDING. Our server was absolutely charming. Next time we are in Tampa, we will definitely go back. read more

I've been here twice since it was Salty Soul. My previous review which carried over to this profile was from Pearly Eats, the previous place. Much of the menu was the same and maybe some differences. Pearly Eats use to be open in Clearwater Beach in case that rings a bell. As Salty Soul, they have wonderful customer service. Super friendly and helpful and it's like you know each other as friends. They take great care of you here. They are also super dog friendly here so it's an all around nice inviting place. They have a cool chill coastal and Key West Vibe here. It's def something you may be looking for when visiting. They serve up tacos and bowls and seafood baskets, & well as fun drinks. Cocktails and mocktails too so everything for everyone. I think this is a cool spot to check out and then head over to walk the town or go to the beach. It won't be too heavy when you hang out too. Def a great chill spot in Dunedin. read more

We were out in Dunedin and found this little place while walking around. It has a wonderful tropical vibe! It's clean and tidy. Our server was great. Happy and always smilling. We all chose different burgers and they were all good. The Cajun fries were bangin! They dipping sauce was spicy but yummy. Prices are affordable and large portions. We shared a large slice of cheesecake which was also delicious! We would definitely go again when in the area! read more

Great little spot off of Main Street in Dunedin. They have amazing tacos and a good selection of beverages if you're walking around the area and want to get a quick bite! The inside is cozy, but there are also plenty of tables on the outside picnic area to eat and watch things going on in the outside area. Service started out a little slow, but once if someone finally recognized, we were there, it picked up and we had a nice visit. read more

FYI... the current owner of Salty Soul doesn't have control of this profile yet, so the automated menu and things are out of date! This used to be Pearly's, but she bought it and slowly moved it to full service over the last few years. My wife and I were looking for a new spot to try in Dunedin, and discovered Salty Soul just driving the downtown area. The menu looked good, but the charm of a home turned into an eatery with an amazing outdoor area is what drew us in. We WILL be back!! Our waitress was amazing and so knowledgeable, and we even got to meet the owner and chatted. We could hear the bartender and he was super friendly, too! You probably won't encounter bad service or a moody server! We weren't super hungry so we decided to split the fried fish Beach Basket -- and it was a large enough portion for the two of us! (It comes with either fish, chicken, or shrimp). The fries were AMAZING, the hush puppies were pretty much what you'd get at any fish place, and the two pieces of fried fish were huge, but we both felt they could use some work. Mainly just that the batter was a bit thick where it could be a lot lighter and crispier. If the kitchen can nail that, it will be great! Looking forward to coming back and trying some of the other amazing-looking dishes (we saw some amazing stuff being carried by our table). read more

Love the vibe and the service is amazing. Came in during happy hour with a family and it did not disappoint. Most people were at the bar or outdoors. Nice bar area. We sat inside in the a/c. All the food we ordered was flavorful and left everyone happy. Drinks were really good here as well. Will be back when in the area. read more

I love Salty Soul! It's such a great spot in Dunedin that is conveniently close to the parking garage. The food is always amazing - everything I've tried from the menu is perfect. The beer selections are always great too. The servers are always friendly and food gets back to you quickly. Plus, the beach surfer vibe is the place is a great fit in Dunedin. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Salty Soul Island Kitchen - Blacked fish sandwich - Tacos Near Me - Dunedin, Florida

Salty Soul Island Kitchen is the epitome of a tropical feeling laid back indoor/outdoor restaurant. It is sure to make you feel like you are on vacation while visiting, even if you're not. They have a very tropical menu of food and drinks, but I have to say the overall food experience was disappointing. I got a toasted coconut drink and half of the cup was full of pieces of coconut, cucumber chunks and other stuff, so much so that I couldn't take a drink without chewing on something and ur was kind of just gross. Definitely not appetizing. I would say the drink itself really wasn't great either, it was just strong. Maybe I just chose the wrong drink- another in my party got a light IPA beer that was pretty good and I liked more than my drink. We also tried a ahi tuna nacho appetizer, and it was pretty much just tortilla chips, chunks of tuna and spicy mayo sauce on a plate. The tuna was fresh and tasted good but this was something I could have literally thrown together in my own kitchen, I was just hoping for more. So, I loved the atmosphere and service here- 5 stars on that for sure. But between the unpleasant drink and food it just wasn't that great overall. I will definitely come back at some point to try an actual entree on their menu, adds maybe a cider since they have some on tap. It is within walking distance of downtown Dunedin as well so it's in a great spot. read more

What a great find. We went to Dunedin to visit a couple of breweries and found this restaurant right down the street. The hostess was super friendly and we were seated right away. It's a really lovely restaurant with lots of outdoor seating and indoor with a cool surf theme. Our waitress was equally as nice and she took our drink order very quickly. They have a full bar and lots of wine and beer selections. We stated with an appetizer and selected the Tune Poke Cups. They are very interesting and we loved the contents of tuna, avocado, cucumber and green onions. They were tossed in soy sauce topped with Homemade spicy Volcano sauce and black sesame seeds. They are in 3 plantain cups which were good but also very thick and were a bit thick and seemed to overtake the contents. I went with a 3 taco combo the Volcano Shrimp, Fish-blackened and the Shrimp-blackened. The Volcano Shrimp has fried shrimp, Mango Jicama slaw with Spicy Volcano sauce topped with shredded cheese. Super flavorful. The Fish tacos were similar in term of ingredients but with blackened whitefish. The Shrimp tacos had corn & bean slaw with Homemade Shaka sauce. They all had very unique flavor. I did a side of hush puppies with the tacos and they also were super good and sweet. Really enjoyed the experience and will definitely make it back to try so other menu items, there are a ton of other options besides just tacos. read more

When we came with our friends who had a toddler, a young boy and a dog, we sat outside as they have good patio availability. The server was super friendly and very accommodating, even bringing out fries and avocado promptly for the kids so they get their snacks in quickly. Our food was very tasty and the menu is priced well. I'd try more of their items on a future visit. read more

Salty Soul easily gets four stars for service, location, and its fun, beachy-casual ambience. The food is pretty basic and mediocre. Probably good for families or travellers (tourists). The one thing that someone orders in our party that was notably good had ribeye and shrimp over fries. read more

We were looking for a family friendly place to have lunch in downtown Dunedin and this place came highly recommended! There is plenty of outdoor seating of picnic tables and great for big groups! We found a nice table on the side. They are very kid friendly and our kids got a kids menu activity sheet and crayons to draw which they loved! Kids menu was decent- my kids had the chicken bowl and the quesadilla and came with rice or fries. I took 1 star off as there were no veggies offered or included! I ordered the taco bowl and hubby had the burrito. They were tasty and flavorful and big enough portions. The service was top notch- they were super attentive and they kept checking in on us if we needed anything. This place had a great vibe and would definitely come back here again! Also love the decor and the cute photo op places! Overall I rate it 4/5 read more

I came here for dinner one night while visiting Dunedin. It was right next door to the hotel so it was super convenient. Although it was a Saturday night we were able to get a table right away. It had a laid back beach vibe with some people at the bar watching football and others there for dinner. We sat inside since it was raining but the outdoor area looked nice. The food was great. We started with the Surf & Turf fries and everyone had seafood for dinner. It was all delicious and I'd definitely go back again if I'm in town. read more

Absolutely LOVE this place!! Super chill vibe, extremely friendly staff and most Importantly! Cold drinks and good food. My favorite are the smash burgers, I have tried other menu items that were also very tasty, but the Smash Burger calls to me! You won't go wrong popping in anytime of the day, however there is usually live music in the later afternoon- evenings. read more

We just stopped in to enjoy a drink and an appetizer of chips and salsa. I have to say the Coco mojito was wonderful. They actually use Don Q Coco rum also known as coconut rum. They used fresh mint and true coconut. The presentation of the drink was just wonderful and The taste was even better. The service was quick and prompt and they were quick to ensure we were well taken care of and received any refills as needed. The ambiance is a light open air venue that is welcoming and tropical feeling even though you are sitting in downtown Dunedin. Definitely a place to go and enjoy not only a great drink but they have a great selection of food as well. read more

Visited this place for the first time and loved it. It's in a cute historic little building with a bar that opens to the outside. We stopped in for some lunch on a weekday. We had the steak burrito and the chip trio, both of which were outstanding. The guac was probably some of the best that I've had (outside of Mexico, anyway). The service was quick, and everything was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere was super cool, to boot. We'll definitely come back next time we're in palm harbor! read more

After leaving honeymoon island, we wanted to try a new place to eat. We found Salty Soul Island Kitchen and was not disappointed. It is located in what looks like a neighborhood. Looks like it was a house that was transformed into a restaurant. They have inside and outside seating. We sat on the outside where you would think a front yard is. The service was great. We also ordered the Tropical Pork Cups, and they were delicious. Full of pulled pork. For entrees, we ordered the Baja Bowl with Tuna, the tortilla Bowl was cooked perfectly, and the tuna was seared amazingly. We also got the Island Poke Dinner. The description would make you think it's a pretty spicy meal, but it actually wasn't. It had just enough spicy to eat it and enjoy the taste. A place we will be back to for sure. read more

This is a hidden gem in Dunedin! I was recommended it by a couple friend and finally got to try it out... it did not disappoint! The wings were excellent, very crispy and flavorful. They make their buffalo sauce in house so I highly recommend it. The Island Burrito also had a ton of flavor and was loaded up with meat and steak. The chips are thin but crispy and paired well with the house made salsa. The poke bowl was good, the fish was fresh but would the rice was a little too much for me. I got a side of volcano sauce (so flavorful) to go with the bowl and it was great! The service was quick and friendly. All around amazing experience! We will be coming back! read more
