    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.

    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.

    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..

    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.

    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.

    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...

    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!

    Piña colada made with a mix.

    First, Sculley's has a great location on the boardwalk overlooking the water. It's large enough to accommodate lots of people and groups larger than 2-4 people- making it a great stop for our group of 6. Service was good, not super fast but friendly. Several of us had the market fresh fish sandwiches. I ordered my sandwich with GF bun, it fell apart immediately. Not worth the up charge. Also ordered the piña colada, which unfortunately was made with a piña colada mix they're never as good as fresh made. Overall, I would choose for the location and the ability to take larger groups. Food is OK.

    Coconut shrimp dinner was delicious!! Highly recommend. Our server was absolutely amazing and super friendly. We sat down on the water and I would highly recommend doing that if the weather allows. It is such a nice spot.

When we get into town, they're always our first stop for lunch. They have a pretty extensive menu of options, but our go to is the fried grouper sandwich with American cheese and no lettuce or tomato. Our other go to is the lobster roll. Now this go around we did notice the lobster was more shredded than it was chunks which is what we've seen previously so that was a bit of a change, but overall, it was still good. We've had the onion rings before but this go round we decided to share a side of french fries and we did ask for them crispy. They were perfect. Be prepared to wait though as this location is super small and if you come during a busy season or around that lunchtime period you're most likely going to have to wait. This is not a great location for large groups. If you have more than five people in your group this is probably not the best location for you as they cannot seat more than one large group at a time. But, one thing we did notice is that you can walk up and order to go. That's a great option to have and something we may take advantage of in the future.

The restaurant is located behind the German club on 66th Street, a second business in the German club parking lot! Apparently, the family that has his place is from Maine and they got a lot of success brewing beer. That's success led them to start the restaurant serving seafood from a family business in Maine. We started off with a bowl of New England clam chowder and a dozen oysters. To what are whistles we got a glass of their tap Chardonnay and a beer. My wife's Chardonnay was ridiculously good! But nothing could beat those oysters - sweet with a little bit of brine, and very fresh. For dinner we got a lobster roll - they come hot or cold, with the hot coming with melted butter. We also got the fried haddock roll.... Wow! Both were fantastic! I know we overdid it with dinner.... We even got an order of the whole belly clams. I didn't think anyone in Florida served those down here! Absolutely ridiculous . In short, we had fantastic dinner and terrific beverages. I really recommend you at least try to find the place - we almost didn't go in because of its awkward location and the fact that no cars were outside. We saw the place was open and decided to have a appetizer because the Yelp review was so strong, and I'm glad we did! I told the two people there they should park their cars nearby so patrons would see them..... Anyway, I'm going back again, but this time I'm bringing friends!

Great selection of beers - they brew in house and have some other local ones. They also do flights which is great. Caylen was our server and he was great and knowledgeable. There's also ton of parking in the back. If you like good beers and maine style seafood this spot is for you!

From the outside, it doesn't immediately stand out. But once you make your way around back, the setting opens up to a waterfront view along the intracoastal that completely changes the experience. Sunset is the time to be here. Between the colors over the water and the occasional dolphin or manatee sighting, it's a setting that feels far more special than the location suggests. There's usually plenty of parking, though the entrance can be easy to miss if you're not paying attention. Look for the break in the divider when coming off the main road, otherwise you might drive right past it. The atmosphere leans lively but relaxed. They typically have live music in the evenings, which adds just the right amount of energy without overwhelming the space. Seating is flexible with both indoor and outdoor options, though on especially hot days, you'll want to be mindful of where you sit. The Florida sun can be intense, so a shaded table with a fan makes a big difference. Drinks are worth exploring here, especially since they tend to rotate specials. It's always a good idea to ask what's currently featured. The menu is rooted in New Orleans-style Creole cooking, and it shows. There's a wide range of seafood-heavy options, from po'boys and shrimp or scallop pastas to fried baskets, chowder, and fish and chips. The dirty rice and beignets round things out nicely if you're looking to branch beyond seafood. Prices run slightly above average, but the quality backs it up. Portions are solid, flavors are on point, and the overall experience makes it feel worth it. This is the kind of place locals keep in their rotation and bring visitors to when they want to show off something a little different. It's relaxed, scenic, and consistently delivers, which is exactly why it sticks with you after the first visit.

    Everything our party of 7 ordered was delicious! The service was amazing. Our server, Jennifer was…read moreso friendly and helpful. The place is fun, family friendly, clean, and comfortable. I highly recommend the Jambalaya and the decadent key lime pie was the best we have ever had!! You will not be disappointed with Shells Seafood!!

    There's something comforting about a classic, no-frills seafood spot by the water, and Shells…read moreSeafood delivers exactly that. This is the kind of place that feels like it's been around forever, in the best way. Spacious for the area, lively without being chaotic, and backed by attentive service that keeps things moving even when it's busy. The menu is extensive, and then just when you think you've seen it all, there's a specials board tucked away with even more to choose from. If you can time your visit right, Tuesday is the move. They run a buy one pound, get one pound half off deal on snow crab legs, and it's easily one of the best values around. The snow crab legs are fresh and satisfying, and the Dungeness crab holds its own as well. Both pair perfectly with their rich, drawn butter, simple but done right. Portion sizes here are no joke. The shrimp skewers are almost excessive in the best way. Three skewers loaded with roughly eight shrimp each, so you're looking at around two dozen shrimp total, all a solid medium-large size. It's the kind of dish that makes you pause when it hits the table. The shrimp pasta is another standout and clearly a house favorite. It's packed with flavor and easily one of the more memorable dishes on the menu. Good enough that ordering a second one to-go actually makes sense. The clam chowder, though, was the one miss. While it's loaded with plenty of clam meat and has a hearty base, there's a slightly smoky flavor that throws it off. If you're a chowder fan, it might not hit the mark. Probably something to skip next time. As for the crab cakes, they passed a pretty tough test. A Maryland native at the table gave them a strong approval, which says a lot. Pro tip: Get there early, ideally around lunch, if you want to lock in that snow crab deal. It's popular, and you don't want to risk missing out. Overall, this is a reliable, crowd-pleasing seafood spot that leans into big portions, solid execution, and a relaxed coastal vibe. Whether you're a local or just visiting St. Pete Beach, it's an easy recommendation and definitely worth a return trip.
