    Mahi Mahi tacos
    Ann K.

    Delicious Mahi Mahi tacos. Wait was about 35mins fora Friday eve. Large portions and Caesar side salad also good. Gave it 4 stars for the server. She was nice but kinda left us hanging in the end.

    Ok so I came from Vegas for that Bloody Mary! I like to travel for these monsters! It was $175 for the Category 5. I split it with 3 of my friends. Comes with 2 grilled cheese, bacon, 1lb of jumbo shrimp, 2 lobster tails and 2 lbs of snow crab! All of the seafood was good! The bloody was fine, nothing to write home about and the service was good! We also ordered the smoked fish dip which I really enjoyed. I love the view of the water and it had a fun outdoor beach vibe. The only thing I DID NOT like about that Bloody Mary was the SWEET pickles!!!! I love my pickles dill. SWEET pickles in that is just a no no! The only thing I would add to that is some kinda meat like a filet or something

    Mahi Mahi Tacos with Kettle Chips

    My son and I walked to Sculley's from the beach while we were in the area recently. We were originally going to go to a different restaurant because they had a better Yelp rating but then changed our mind and had lunch here because of the outdoor setting. It was more of the vibe we were looking for. We scanned the Yelp reviews to see what menu items were recommended by other reviewers. My son ordered the Cowboy Burger with fries and I ordered the Mahi Mahi tacos with the kettle chips. My son said the burger was good but on the spicy side given it has jalapeños on it. The Mahi Mahi tacos did not disappoint. There were 3 tacos. I felt they were pretty filling as I could only eat 2 of them. My son ate the last one which he enjoyed. The kettle chips were amazing. Our server Tanya was super nice, checked on us multiple times, and let us sit there longer than I would say is normal because we were enjoying the view and good conversation. My take away from this experience was that we were glad we read some of the other reviews so our experience turned out great.

    The view of the water and overlooking John's Pass while enjoying a drink and some food is unbeatable.

    Meh.. we did a cute little day trip to St, Pete's and visited Sculley's mainly to enjoy the water view and of course expecting a delicious meal. The water views are amazing, you can see plenty of water traffic, jet skis, boats, sail boats, and many pelicans/seagulls. The food was the 'meh' part of the day, i got fish tacos, the filling was 80% lettuce & the fish was def not fresh, we also got a chicken quesadilla that was okay, but was brought cold. I would recommend you visit for the views & maybe have a beer? Not so much for the food... staff were nice, seemed to be knowledgeable, but the food took about 45 mins to be served..

    Had lunch with family during spring break. We walked up. Didn't have reservations and they sat us right away. It was before the lunch rush. We sat outside on the deck on the water. The view and breeze was great. Drinks were also good. Our waitress was friendly and funny. We did the wedge salad and seafood boils. We were a party of 4. We all had a different one and I shared with my 10yr old. We had crab legs for days. I also got the prawn. It was bigger than my hand. Lol Come hungry. OMG it was so good. Opted for the hot Sculley's sauce. It's the blend of all 3. I was very pleased. I will be back because I need to see my husband tackle the large Bloody Mary with 2 lobster tails and 2 grill cheese sandwiches. If you try before me. Let me know.

    We go back and forth on this restaurant as it is an excellent location, especially for dolphin watching and people watching. We are never overly excited about our meals whether it be lunch or dinner, but we always go back as this is the best option for this area. We tried brunch for the first time and ordered the country eggs Benedict and the shrimp and grits. The grits were good but the poached eggs were hard boiled and very dry and the hashbrowns were over cooked/burnt and only tasted of burnt grease. I also ordered a mimosa and it was only orange juice. We decided to have a few beers while we enjoyed the weather outside, but disappointed all beer is in cans, no draft options. You get what you expect. Great location but not amazing food. It is fun watching the dolphin tours and pirate ship.

    One of the best gems of Johns Pass. It has a great ambiance and beautiful waterfront views. The service has always been excellent. I do love the food here, especially if you are in the mood for a custom seafood boil. The food and drinks are super delish, and the main meals are really yummy. I wasn't the biggest fan of the appetizers we ordered; they were pretty average. Definitely still one of my favorite places to grab a bite, watch the sunset, and if you're lucky, see some dolphins.

    Fish Tacos

    Very good, fast service! Everyone in our party really enjoyed the food. The grouper tacos (catch of the day) were fantastic!

    Visiting Sculley's for their Madeira Beach Burger Week '25 official offering "The Cowboy Burger" and am extremely glad we did Our Outstanding Server Kayla C was friendly, attentive and prompt The Burgers when delivered certainly were a sight for hungry eyes knowing that the "Party on the Palate" was about to begin... Aesthetically Impressive and quickly proven to be as good as they looked. IMO - a "Top Contender" for the tough spot of Best Burger 2025, highly suggest a visit to this unique waterfront dining establishment with waterside/dockside seating above and below the infamous Johns Pass Boardwalk as a memorable culinary experience. Even the lightly battered french fries were delicious as a complementary side to this special event deal! This unique Old Florida atmosphere is one not to miss...

    Nice place to sit by the water and have a bite to eat. The birds are a pain but it's nature and it's Florida deal with it. Food was pretty good mahi tacos were ok grouper was better. My wife had coconut shrimp same basic coconut shrimp as everywhere. Overall nice place to eat little pricey but it's right on the water so to be expected. Nice place worth a try.

    We had a great lunch here at Scully's! Sitting right on the water was really nice, even saw a few dolphins! Our waitress was friendly and helpful, everything was quick and on point. The food was tasty and the prices are great. I enjoyed my fish sandwich and we liked the french fry flight, though the marshmallow dip was a little sweet! I would love to come back!

They had a fresh catch of grouper that day, so we decided to try the grouper nuggets. They're market price, but absolutely worth it. Even our friend preferred them over his fried fish. The batter was light, crispy, and delicious. Our kids ordered the bacon cheese fries and loved them. Just a heads-up: they use a nacho cheese sauce rather than shredded cheese, which some people may prefer to know ahead of time. Our friend from Massachusetts ordered the lobster sub (also market price) and said it was worth every penny. My husband and I split the grouper nuggets and the Philly cheesesteak. The bread is brought in from up north, and our server's recommendation did not disappoint. The sandwich was rich, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the onion rings. They use a beer batter, which wasn't our favorite, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism. Overall, we'd definitely return if we're in the area again. The only downside was parking--$29.99 for two hours is pretty brutal. Thankfully, the food and atmosphere helped make up for it.

Considering there is high traffic or tourists we understood and went in to put our names on the wait list. When my group of four woman(one Latina, one black woman and two white woman), we were told it would be about 25 minutes and were added to the list. We walked through the restaurant towards the beach noticing there were many empty tables. We figured a shift change but out curiosity as the time went on I asked one of the servers if there was a reason for the slow seating. She began to tell us that the kitchen was extremely backed up and they just caught up and it shouldn't be long. After more than 30 minutes went by I asked the woman at the hostess stand named Jean for an update on time and she said we were next and we would receive a text. As we continued to wait for our seating we were getting closer to an hour and noticed groups of white mena and women being sat ahead of us. More tables became available but for some reason ours was not ready yet, per Jean. When we spoke to Jean about our concern, I told her I believed were being racially profiled and oppose to apologizing, lack of explanation or reassurance she said it was not ready and that she couldn't believe we went there and raised her voice about table not being ready. In 2026 no group of individuals should feel dismissed or given different treatment due to their race. As entrepreneurs we were disappointed and disgusted that the management has clearly allowed this for years, as Jean has been there for 30 years and has multiple complaints when I also brought this up to the Bilmar staff. I would strongly encourage the management team to go back and reevaluate their team and move forward with hiring some new and firing the old. Every guest deserves to have equal treatment and respect . Clearly inclusivity and equality is not being prioritized. We must do better.

Well-versed on the menu and a very pleasant lady. It's certainly not a fancy place and it looks like it's been around for a while, but it's the kind of place where you might like to hang out at the bar. Everyone there seems to be friendly and you get that comfortable feeling. We had a variety of food items, some better than others but nothing below average. Really good salads, as you can see by the pictures, a nice job on the chicken wings, a BLT that was pretty tasty; the butternut squash soup was OK, pretty thick and not hot at all. One was returned to the kitchen to be heated up. There was a chicken dip that really didn't hit the spot, and the tortilla chips that came with it seem to be past their prime. As for the fried mushrooms. I found them pretty much ordinary. A nice surprise were the brussels sprouts with balsamic and goat cheese. Really really good. Overall, I would give the food about a 3 1/2 stars at the service five stars so what averages out around four stars. Like I said it looks like a nice place to hang around and have a couple of beverages and a little something to eat.

Perhaps we tried the wrong things, but we were hungry (which usually increases the appreciation for the food), and our choices ranged from not good to good. The dip appetizer- Not good. It was the crab dip with seasoned cheez-it shaped crackers. The crab did not have good flavor and the crackers were over salted. Wasn't a good balance for my taste buds. Didn't eat most of it. The oysters appetizer- Good. They were fresh which is ALWAYS appreciated. I didnt like that the shells weren't rinsed, which led to alot of shell in my slurps and the actual oyster sizes ranged from normal to small. One was almost tiny. My main meal- Good. I had the special...a Blackened Hogfish stuffed with crab and scallops. The fish on it's own was ok, but the bites with the stuffing as the whole were good. The rice and beans along with it were cooked perfectly. My friend had the Blackened Grouper and enjoyed it thoroughly. Desserts- Very Good- 50/50. The Coconut Cheesecake was absolutely DELICIOUS, definitely homemade. The Chocolate Cheesecake was just ok, but killed the sweet treat itch. Ambiance- Tranquil. If you're looking for beautiful scenery while eating pretty good food out on the patio area, this is it. The main dining area upstairs was a typical old seafood diner type vibe. The bathrooms are also located upstairs. Service was informative and attentive. It wasn't the best seafood I've had, but I'd definitely come back for the view. Pricing was fair. Check them out!

The cheese curds were pretty classic and the Parmesan cheese on top added a nice twist. The crab dip... I'm drooling just thinking about it. If you like crab you need to get that app. For the meal, I had the Surf and Turf with coconut shrimp. Sweet Mary was I glad I did. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection and the coconut shrimp with spicy Thai sauce was so good. The shrimp had the perfect crunch while the shrimp themselves were tender. They also have a wide variety of drinks and beers which was nice to try some new things. I do also want to do a shout out to Robert who was our waiter. He was phenomenal!

There was a ton of lettuce on it, which I was not a fan of and the bun split very easily. I ended up just eating the lobster straight off the plate. Definitely not worth the price in my opinion. I'd go with something else. My girlfriend got the Lobster Alfredo and it was not good. The pasta was super doughy and overcooked. The Alfredo sauce itself didn't have a lot flavor either. The whole thing was just not good and once again not worth the price. Our niece got butter noodles and they were the same way. Overcooked and tasted like they'd been sitting in water or something. She didn't eat it. I would skip the pasta entrees. The other item we were disappointed with was the Crab Rangoon dip. It had a fishy tang to it that we weren't a fan of. Someone in our group got the tacos for taco Tuesday and said they were good. Chicken tenders were also yummy. Overall, we had an okay experience. If we came back, we'd go with different items on the menu for sure.
