    Off the beaten path (literally, the Pinellas Trail) and bar none the best home cooked, authentic Mexican fare in Pinellas County. All fresh (including the salsa) from the kitchen. A family operation, Mom and Dad are the cooks, working the kitchen. Their young adult children work side by side waiting tables, tending bar, washing dishes... My personal fav, the fish tacos. Hearty seasoned filets wrapped in a warm tortilla, topped with a fresh homemade picante and chipotle sauce on the side. Throw in their own special recipe (not out of a box) rice and beans and it's a plate full. And a value too. For American fare, their burgers and fish and chips are tops! Can't say enough about this hard working family making a go of their restaurant dream. Don't go for the atmosphere. Go for a culinary (value) experience.

    Fried fish n chips w shrimp.

    This was a wonderful little food/bar shack house off the trail and off Missouri if you're coming from Dunedin. It was probably the crispiest fish I ever had and the fry stayed on the seafood after biting into it. Kale salad was lovely. Cocktail sauce a little sweet for me - I asked for extra horseradish and it was perfect. My only ding - they need one high end white wine available as the wine selections were mediocre. The food is outstanding. The service was great. I'll definitely be back!!! Oh they fry w soybean oil Lots to love about this place !

    My wife and I decided to do a pub-bike down the pinellas trail. We saw Sandshakers and decided to stop in for a drink. It is definitely unassuming BUT the drinks are phenomenal and cheap. We didn't get food but we will be back!

    1/2 chicken Alfredo pasta.  So yummy!

    Split a meal and got the bread pudding for dessert! The food and desserts are phenomenal here! Highly recommend

    Sandshake Burger

    Visited today for the first time and I have nothing but amazing things to say. First off great, friendly service. Second the food was absolutely incredible. I ordered the SandShakers Burger and it was delicious. My friend ordered the Classic Burger and loved it as well. Will be back very soon! (P.S. you can park on the gravel road in front of the building)

    Whoa...was not expecting that Grouper sandwich to taste that good with the kale. Definitely coming back!!

    Great music on Tuesday nights

    Went on a tuesday night and had a great time. It was open mic night so they had several musical acts play. They were all really good. The food is delicious here. Who ever is cooking is doing a great job. Wings were cooked perfectly and tasted great. Their ranch tasted home made and not store bought. Shrimp tacos were really good. Their burger is humongous and comes with a bacon wrapped grilled jalepeno on top. Their outdoor patio is the highlight of the place and thats where the stage is and most of the action. Liquor drinks were $6-$8. Beers are $5ish. I had to drink Jack because they dont have Jim Beam. Please get a bourbon! This place is a hidden gem in clearwater.

    black and Black & Blue Burger (no bun)

    parking was small but easy to navigate, right near the water. we stopped in on a thursday afternoon and sat on the outdoor patio. outside there was a cute bar, lots of fans, and live music on certain evenings. We each spent around 20 dollars for our meals + drinks. I have a lot of food allergies and the waitress made sure to double check if i could have certain items. the burgers were huge as pictures and really well seasoned/prepared. The blue cheese was very strong and the bacon was really crispy, all the other ingredients like the onions and lettuce were very fresh. only gripe is that the jalapeño popper on top of the sandshackle burger thingy was a little lack luster. still very yummy cute little spot!

    Paul V review

    This review is in response to Paul V.'s poor rating of this excellent establishment. Ordered a Diet Coke and grouper and after an exuberant amount of groupers in my life I could say this tops the list. In regards to the fries, I count 17, plenty to satisfy my belly after 27 holes of golf and two double transfusions. I did spot the coke storage and it was a chilly room temp. Any casual bar customer will know, beer, not wine is the play here. Fish tacos were also ample portion size. My boy Greg got the wings and rated them a solid 7/10. Dart machine ate my quarters but the barkeep was quick to remedy the situation. Excellent service, good food, and a fun spot to shoot pool with the locals.

    Food was decent. The chicken quesadilla was good. Our server was a sweetheart. I could see this place getting super busy on the weekend.

    We came to Clear Sky Café on our very first night staying at Sandpearl Resort, and we loved it so…read moremuch that we've been back every single day since! We were told they were nominated for Best Breakfast, and I can confidently say it is **100% well deserved**. I absolutely love everything about this place--from the beautiful decor and friendly atmosphere to the incredible staff, huge selection of food, and, most importantly, the quality of everything we've ordered. Everything is made to order and absolutely delicious. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, every meal has been excellent! We were especially lucky to have been taken care of by some truly wonderful people. Travis served us on our first night and immediately made us feel comfortable and right at home. He was incredibly friendly and gave us some fantastic food recommendations. Sarah was also amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly to our liking. Isabel was another wonderful server who made our experience even more enjoyable. **Briana and Dave were also fantastic and provided such great service, making each visit even more enjoyable.** And we can't forget Robert over at the Bloody Mary bar! He made my husband and me some of the most delicious Bloody Marys, piled HIGH with incredible bites like grilled cheese, fried chicken, and bacon. They were almost a meal in themselves! As far as must-tries go, you **have to** try the Cinnamon Bun French Toast, any of their omelets, the burgers, the Blackened Grilled Chicken Bacon Swiss & Ranch sandwich, the Cuban, the Southwest Egg Rolls, and of course, their amazing French fries. If you're staying at Sandpearl or anywhere in the area, **do yourself a favor and stop at Clear Sky Café.** The food, service, atmosphere, and people make this place truly special. We're already looking forward to coming back!

    Loved stoping in for brunch during our stay in clearwater for the long weekend!…read more Visiting with my husband and wanted to get at least one sit down breakfast in and Clear Sky was perfect. Great service. Based on the amount of people siting at tables, the patio, and the bar, we knew it was well loved and it is definitely deserving of the crowd. We got mimosas which were a great size for the cost. For breakfast, we had the square deal meal and the chicken and waffles. Both were fantastic. Flavorful with just the right amount of food. Highly recommend.

We liked everything we ordered-baba ghannouj, labneh, kisir (their bread comes out toasty and warm-our girls had 2nds and would have had 3rds if we allowed them). Gyro platter main was great, but their yogurt gyro platter was much richer with tomato umami. The cheese roll and borek were delicious as well as the lentil soup. Don't skip dessert (semolina cake à la mode with plenty of cinnamon and nuts)! Recommend getting a seat outside so you can watch the ocean and the jealous birds-great even with the light drizzle around us. Great service and a must stop for the next time we are in sand key.

We sat outside during our meal and the ambiance and feel of the restaurant was very welcoming! As for entrees, I ordered the Chicken Gyro Platter which was very well made, seasoned perfectly, and presented very well. The chicken was very well seasoned along with it being perfectly cooked, and the Rice Pilaf was the same. Overall nothing I would change about this dish and I would recommend ordering it. Next, one of the people in my party ordered the Chicken Gyro Salad which they loved. Same as my dish, the chicken was cooked perfectly. It was also mentioned that the lettuce was extremely fresh which is always great to see. The last two members of our party ordered the Beef/Lamb Gyro Salad which they loved. Again the meet was cooked very well and the lettuce was extremely fresh and overall they both loved their meal. (We did also order the Baklava for dessert which was fantastic as well) To finish, our service was top tier and our server Tayfun was extremely attentive throughout our entire dining experience and was very friendly! Amazing 10/10 dining experience and would most definitely come here again and recommend to others!

We had drinks to start; my 20 year old and 16 year old had soda. Wife had a Coroner and I have the spicy jalepeno margarita. All was great! We did not get apps, but there are lots of choices. For mains I had the Birria tacos with onion rings. One daughter had the same. Great taste, but if I had to do it over I would get a side of salad or coleslaw as it was a lot of fried on my plate. That said, finished it all! My other daughter had the chicken Cesar salad and loved it. Chicken was very tasty. My wife had the grouper basket. She thought it was tasty and hit the spot. Service was not bad but not great. Just not friendly. Overall a great stop. Be prepared you are outside and if the weather turns you are on the hook. Also, no reservations so first come first serve! Go. Here.

In fact the only thing I could taste was the blue cheese and a piece of bacon every now and then. Edible if you like the cheese. Lobstah Mac N Cheese 2 of 5 - It pains me to rate this low as it should have been good and the presentation was an experience. However, the flavor was absent from this dish. The cheese was watered down tasting without a cheese flavor or anything else. The lobster was also absent of flavor and since the cheese was lacking it then I could only rely on the pasta being cooked well. Service could have been good, but the music system was so loud I couldn't hear her most of the time and she was right next to us. She was nice and moved us further away from the live player, so I'll say she tried her best to accommodate for that. Overall experience 3 of 5 and probably mostly cause of the service trying and the beer.
