    Cheese curds
    Sara G.

    Lovely little restaurant. Affordable prices. They brought my dog a bowl of water and were so friendly. Cheese curds were awesome. The garlic hot sauce is HOT

    Dry BLT

    Visiting the beach, we stopped by this cute dive for dinner. It was a chilly night, so we ordered our meals to go. After getting back to our room, we had no condiments- no cocktail sauce, no tartar and no mayonnaise on the BLT. The food was dry. We called. We were told to bring it back the next day for a refund. Next day, I take the food back, but was told I could only get a gift card and no sauce comes with food unless requested- not according to the menu nor did the server share this... we gave a 25% tip, but Veronica was not willing to refund the $22 for food that was returned, as requested, uneaten. Do not go if service is something you expect. Refused the gift card, cause WHY WOULD I EVER WANT TO RETURN?

    Great little dive. $5 Margaritas and really good Coconut Shrimp! Decent Blackened Grouper sandwich and good service. Dog friendly outside.

    Bowl of Gumbo

    Very reasonable prices. Live music is awesome. This is a no frills old florida style restaurant. Gumbo is ok a little lacking on the seafood but the smoked fish dip is awesome. Side bar they do all the smoking on site so any item with smoked meat/fish is going to be a hit. I would recommend if you have just come from the beach or fishing and definitely no need to clean up before coming. Also, service is quick!

    I grew up in the Midwest, with a typical "meat and potatoes" diet. On the rare occasion that…read moreseafood was on the menu, it was typically a frozen variety like Groton's, or the occasional fish fry at the Elk's Club. That's changed since moving to the Gulf Coast of Florida, where the fish at the local restaurant today was probably swimming yesterday. My "go-to" seafood now is a grouper sandwich which I order blackened but NOT fried. I've sampled grouper sandwiches from many local dining establishments, but my favorite is from "Carvor's Fish House" A couple of important notes: 1) Carvor's is only open for LUNCH. Their hours vary, so you'll want to check the website, but they typically close at FIVE PM, with the last order accepted at FOUR PM. 2) Carvor's has NO inside dining The patio is tree-shaded with extra umbrellas but if it's really hot, you may be uncomfortable. 3) Carvor's has COUNTER SERVICE. You go inside, order your food and THEN go back outside and select a table. When your food is ready, a server will bring it to your table. 4) This is downtown Dunedin, and parking can occasionally be a challenge on Douglas Street, but FREE parking is available in the city parking garage across the street. Pictured is my "blackened grouper" sandwich. A refreshing change from the usual French fries is their homemade chilled tomato, cucumber and onion salad. Delish!

    We ate at quite a few Seafood restaurants while visiting Dunedin, but this was our favorite. I…read moreordered the Grouper Trio, Fish, shrimp and Scallops. They we coated with a very thin coating of breading and cooked just right. The onion rings were fixed the same. Thee slaw was a tropical, sweet serving. My wife got the White Fish and Onion Rings. The service was exceptional and our server went out of her way to make sure our meal was just right. Make sure you add this location to your list if you visit. You go inside to order your meal, then they give you a table number and you go get a table. the line moves quickly.

My husband had the soup, I can't remember the name but one they always have, and it was so delicious. I had the tomato salad and it was perfect. The dressing served with the tomato salad was so good. Last but not least their key lime pie is the best we have had anywhere, ever!!!! Sorry we didn't get pictures but we were too consumed in the moments to mess with our phones. We will be back!!!

    Definitely a five star experience and we will be back…read more Parking in the lot in front is quite small, but there is a lot of parking around the area that's free. On the website they list out parking lots, so I would recommend checking that out. We ended up parking at a parking garage that was a couple minutes walk from the restaurant. Also, pro tip thanks Yelp, they do accept reservations. You have to look on OpenTable, though, I don't feel like I saw it on their website. We were there at 7 PM on Saturday and even without a reservation we would've gotten a table. However, it is on the smaller side if you want to sit inside, they do have a back patio. I saw a reserve sign on our table, so they definitely honor Reservations. I got hogarita which is their version of a margarita. It was good. My husband got an old-fashioned and liked it. The food is where this place really shines. I got hogfish grilled with their veggie of the day and key lime slaw. My husband got their salmon grilled with veggie of the day and hush puppies. The hush puppies are exceptional. I usually avoid carbs and I'm sure this one is really bad for you, but it was absolutely delicious. My husband, who normally isn't a huge fish eater liked his salmon. We both agreed, though that my hog fish was better. The hog fish was flaky and tender, a very mild tasting fish, but absolutely amazing. 10 out of 10 on this dish. This place is pretty casual, it feels very down to earth with really good food. Service was attentive and quick, we will be back.

I can imagine it would be particularly beautiful at sunset. We came here for lunch and it wasn't busy at all, so we picked seats right along the railing overlooking the water. I got the grouper sandwich. The one downside for me is their speciality sauce that they put on everythingggg is a dijionaise & I hate mustard in all its forms. So that made ordering a little tricky but isn't their fault really. I swapped it for regular mayo. I liked the lime vinaigrette and got a little extra of that. They serve the sandwiches with chips that were pretty crispy and tasty. My fish was cooked wonderfully. Service was quick and the waitresses were very friendly. It's also a Diet Coke place, which is a big pro on my list.

We started with the happy hour OG margaritas. They were ok, nothing stellar. We had fish spread for an appetizer- it was about a 1/2 cup portion with pickled jalapeños, celery sticks and baby carrots (which was kinda odd- never thought to eat carrots with fish spread). It was delicious. I had the lobster roll with fries. Generous portion of lobster. The toasted roll was perfect. Fries were pretty average beer battered type fry. My husband had the crab cakes with fries and coleslaw. They had a decent amount of crab to filler ratio. The serving size was average. The coleslaw is a chopped style. I didn't care for the taste of it, it reminded me of a store bought variety. Overall our meal was good. The service was friendly and it was very clean inside.

    Predatory worker compensation structure - Be aware…read more We recently dined here and noticed the tabletop signs explaining a mandatory 20% "commission" added to every single bill. When speaking with our server, she informed us that management classifies the waitstaff as 1099 independent contractors, meaning they receive a $0 hourly base rate from the restaurant and rely entirely on this mandatory guest fee for their paycheck.I have a physical copy of the check showing this automatic fee. While the sign claims this "supports our team," classifying standard restaurant servers as 1099 workers instead of W-2 employees is a massive red flag that contradicts federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) guidelines. Independent contractors set their own hours and operations; servers do not. Furthermore, a restaurant cannot legally leave a server's direct hourly base wage at zero by relying entirely on automatic service fees.We love supporting local staff, but we want our money going to businesses that respect basic labor laws and compensate their employees legally. Hopefully, public pressure will force management to fix their payroll structure. The server said the restaurant was on the verge of bankruptcy and had to make changes. Sadly they chose to break the law. On that note the service was lovely, the food very tasty. I asked to sub corn for flour tortias and she was able. We don't directly live in the area, and its been a while since we've been here. Its always good, with good portions and not a chain. Its so unfortunate.

A lot of the restaurants are closed for lunch though, which is how we ended up here. It's a lot larger than it looks. There's a really cute covered outdoors area in the back with a stage for performances. There were only a few diners there for lunch on a Friday so it was easy to grab a spot. I got a skinny strawberry margarita, it made me happy to see a skinny version of a flavored margarita on the menu. It has a sugar rim and was delicious. It's on the sweet side and I'd definitely get it again. I requested it without soda water. For my main I got the salmon bowl. I wouldn't get this again, but it's because the base is mainly fried wontons. I thought it would be a scattering of fried wontons but nope, it was a hefty portion. I didn't eat most of the fried wontons because I'm trying to be healthy. It's a delicious dish, just not for me. Service was great, but we were an easy table because we were chatting the entire time. I enjoyed our meal here, so we will definitely be back!
