Had lunch there one day. Doesn't hold a candle to the one used to be in Clearwater.servers were lazy, complaining about being too busy 5 tables! read more

We had breakfast here. Corned beef hash, 3 eggs (did I say 3) I believe that's how it comes. Everything was delicious, filling, and we've been back for biscuits and gravy and eggs, toast, black coffee. Excellent! Have to go eat greens somewhere to counter the standard American diet, but I will return. Grade: A read more

This place is very popular. It sets on the corner in downtown Clearwater. The service is quick. Of course they have only about 8 tables in there. I see a lot of carry out orders going out. Parking is horrible! It's a city lot that's in terrible repair. They only have a few spots on the side of the building. It's also a very old, dated place. I doubt they've ever remodeled or updated it but, hey, don't fix what's not broken. Walk into tin can cafe & be transported back in time. Prices are reasonable, portions are fairly decent as well. I do feel like the gravy for biscuits is from the can at sams club but, that's my opinion. It's still good, I just hoped for homemade. Overall I can't say much negative about this place. They're friendly, accurate, fast & delicious food. Try it, if you can find parking. read more

Went here for my first time and did a pick up order. The food is fantastic and home cooked! Everyone there had great customer service!! Can't wait to go again and try different things. As I was leaving each table was full and the food looked just as delicious as the next and great portions. Would definitely recommend! read more

Traveling in from out of town & looking for a classic American breakfast. We were not disappointed with the Tin Can. Waitress was fun and friendly and even one of the regulars came over to chat about baseball (I was wearing my Red Sox shirt). French toast, corned-beef hash, and an omelette - all great! read more

These reviews are misleading. This is not a 5 star breakfast. I had a 5 star breakfast in Clearwater and this was not it. Granted it is still a good breakfast. But there needs to be a warning to people coming here with super high expectations as I did after reading all these 5 star reviews. First, Lets start with the parking lot. It's a war zone, be careful. It's all chopped up with metal rebar sticking out of the ground where the foundation of a building once stood. Next, The breakfast itself was okay. I asked for over medium eggs, they were over easy (no big deal). The pancakes were a huge disappointment, only because they looked so good but they were very bland and dry. My waiter was friendly but it was crowded so he was busy with other tables. (there's 2 waiters for the whole place of maybe 10 tables) All-in-all it was just an adequate/satisfactory breakfast. I have nothing bad to say - nothing to complain about - but it's just nothing special and given all the other breakfast options in the area I would not go out of my way for this. read more

Tin Can Cafe - Breakfast sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Great selection ,food well prepared, friendly knowledgable staff. Had breakfast, very pleased.

Excellent breakfast, fast service and very friendly staff, cute decorations .... It's a must go!!

''Tis is a hidden treasure in Clearwater, Florida! This is a breakfast, brunch, lunch kind of place that is closed by 2:00p.m., so you need to be a early bird to enjoy a truly authentic, homemade meal. For the first time ever, I ordered a "skillet" breakfast. I didn't think I would like red and green peppers in my breakfast food, but today I took the plunge. Boy was I a good happy customer! I ordered one of several offerings, the sausage, tomatoes, peppers and onions with sharp cheese and two over medium eggs on top!! (Oops, there were fried potatoes under there too! My breakfast partner, hubby, ordered a feta and spinach omelet with a side of potatoes. It was so good I was almost jealous! This is what omelets are supposed to taste like, moist warm and each flavour distinct. Thankfully, the coffee kept coming and our server was a real sweetheart! The Tin Can is not a big place, so there can be a wait however it is truly worth it!! read more

Great breakfast. In town to escape the cold and snow and to celebrate my girlfriends birthday. The breakfast was fantastic. Biscuits and gravy were on point. French toast also. I'll overlook the bathroom and focus on the great service and delicious meal in this small and cozy cafe. read more

I enjoyed an early morning breakfast here when I was staying at a hotel nearby within walking distance. The place was small and largely filled with regulars telling tall tales. But, the service was friendly and my eggs and grits hit the spot, giving me energy for the day ahead! read more

This was a perfect little breakfast place. Pancakes were light and fluffy (though no real maple syrup to be found), and we happened to catch eggs Benedict on special. Nothing spectacular, but tasty, reasonably priced and solid service. Nice for a good breakfast outside of your basic free hotel breakfast fare. (we walked from the Residence Inn on Court St). Small inside, guessing on the weekends it probably gets packed in there, but we we're there on a Monday am and it was quiet. read more

Beware the $2 plate fee! Food average so would pass next time due to $2 plate fee just not American when owner walks around with wad of cash

Excellent menu, nothing over $9.50 so great value. Every time I am here it is crowded and they have been here for a while which are both good signs when picking somewhere to eat. I will always stop in when in the area! Back for more food. Just before closing. read more

Food was excellent and fairly priced. Service was great. It's a luncheonette - nothing fancy but clean and good food

What a wonderful cozy cafe! Our order came quickly and exactly as requested. Amazingly, it was not greasy so the flavors of the omelets came through. And what a great mix of people. read more

Friendly, fast service, quality breakfast items and great prices. Had corned beef hash - flavorful and very generous portions. The biscuit was very good. Quality ingredients and definitely will become a regular. read more

If you love Bacon and I do, then The Tin Cafe is the breakfast place for you. My husband and I have been having breakfast in many restaurants in Pinellas County. And of the twenty or so places, The Tin Can Cafe has by far, the Best Bacon. It is the exact crispiness I like and not too salty. Grits are also the best I have had. read more

Tin can is a small cafe located in a small building in Clearwater, going towards Dunedin. It is often always packed, and they do not have very much seating. However this place is a good little place to get breakfast. I often find myself wanting to eat breakfast heading this way, and this place always tends to pop into my mind. They have something called The Tin Can Wild, which is 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, and either 2 french toast or 2 pancakes for $6.49, which I think is a fair price. It is pretty good. You cannot really mess up breakfast food. I have also tried their breakfast skillets and I would have to agree with the other reviews that it is greasy and lacks a lot of flavor. The waiter and waitress that is often in here is very personable, and they always are talking to the regulars which is nice. If you find yourself towards this way, and wanting some breakfast, give this place a try for yourself. read more

Tin Can Cafe - Tin can wild, with all bacon instead of sausage. - Cafes Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Family run for over 20 years, this is a great little place just outside downtown Clearwater. Super clean with shelves of "tin" memoriabilia - lunch boxes, food tins etc. Dad had fish plate with salad, veggies and fries - huge! I had the patty melt. Everything was delicious, fresh, hot when it should be and cold when it should be. I am not a fan of iceberg lettuce salads, but it is a diner so I'll give 'em a pass. The service was friendly and attentive. For the two of us, with coffees (really good by the way), we got out of there under $20 before tip. Recommend! read more

While on vacation we have been here twice (so far) ... We stopped on our way in and were shocked at how amazing this place was. The man that set us was very friendly so we got an instant good vibe. We got three coffees and all came out in different mugs (my fiancé knew this would win me over... My obsession with mugs is probably unhealthy) so seeing the whole restaurant with different mugs I was in heaven. Our cups never went empty.. Coffee and water.. If it wasn't our server taking care of us it was the guy that seated us or another server. Our food was great! We had omelets.. Waffles.. Taters... Eggs... All good. The waffle came out covered in strawberries and a lot of whipped cream ... The second time I got one of the breakfast ham bowl things and it was amazing! The place is small but only one time we had to wait about 10 minutes.. The walls are covered in tin cans and it was neat to look around to see if you have ever had one or seen them before.. For me I saw one and got instantly excited because I remembered having it at my house as a child and we kept coins in it so that was an extra bonus! Go here!!! You won't be disappointed!!!! Great food and even better staff!!!!! read more

Steak skillet was amazing!!!! Everyone was so friendly to us. The tin cans were pretty nifty to look at.

The place closes early and I am just finding out through other reviews that it is only a Breakfast /Brunch place which closes by 2 pm... not a lot of restaurant choices in that immediate area so when I arrived hungry at 2:30pm and found the place closed I was disappointed. Being from the north where restaurants stay open at least until 6pm it is disheartening to find these old family owned businesses that close early ( insert air quotes here ) And if you are right on the road to the beach it's even more disappointing to arrive into town hungry and ready to eat to find the doors locked. Who is your client? You open at 6am and close at 1 or 2pm... who besides locals and the elderly are ready to eat breakfast at 6am? read more

I'll probably hate myself for writing this review lol - as the place is already so popular that oftentimes there is a wait to be seated, but I've been coming here for breakfast a couple of times a month for several years so, here we go... If you want THE BEST breakfast in Clearwater, this is the place to come! The staff is ALWAYS friendly and very courteous. I almost always get the 10 oz Steak & Eggs for breakfast (hmm, probably going to have to stop by there tomorrow again) and it is the BEST deal in town. They have always cooked it to perfection and the steak comes pre-trimmed, so what you are getting is a full 10 oz of completely edible deliciousness. Hardly any fat, no bones, just steak! read more

Great place- thanks to yelpers for the recommendation. Simple, no frills, breakfast and lunch spot. The server was so nice and genuinely attentive and pleasant. The prices are great and the food quality excellent, which explains why it gets full. I just had a scrambled egg dish and was given a choice of home fries, hash browns etc. when I ordered the home fries which the server mentioned and had not seen on the menu, he told me they took a little longer. He stopped by again to refill my drink and said the home fries were almost ready. I was embarrassed when they came out and took up an entire second plate! They were delicious, as were the eggs nicely prepared. More embarrassing was the cost of less than $5. I wish I remembered the server's name because he was great! Highly recommend. read more

Amazing food and huge serving sizes. I'm glad we found this spot on one of our last days of vacation. I wouldn't have wanted to miss it.

Food looks awesome and great portion sizes. Everything was fresh and made to order. We will def be back! read more

Tin Can Cafe - Garden breakfast - Cafes Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

Such a pleasant surprise. If I lived in Clearwater this would become a definite weekly visit. There's not a lot of seating, but I think in this case it adds to the charm. Staff was friendly and attentive. The food was outstanding. I had a bacon and cheese omelette with home fries. The home fries were perfect. I wanted to order more. The omelette was also very very good. If you live in Clearwater, check this place out. If you're visiting, stop by one morning for breakfast. You can always get it to go if they don't have any seats. read more

This is a great little family run diner in downtown Clearwater. Years ago, my husband used to work nearby so he is the one who introduced me to it. We decided to go here today because we met my mom and her husband in downtown Clearwater for the Pierce Street Market and planned on getting breakfast/lunch after. We got there and put our name in right away because it is a small place. The wait was about ten minutes to get a table. Our server was the cook's son, and he was efficient and super nice and polite. My family all ordered breakfast plates with eggs, bacon, and toast. The guys also got pancakes with theirs and my mom got home fries. I ordered a BLT because I love BLTs and was not in the mood for a really big breakfast. Their portions are large and their prices are low. They are only open for breakfast and lunch but I would recommend stopping in if you are on your way over to the beach or attending a concert or other festival. read more

Best food in downtown Clearwater! Excellent waitstaff. Small venue but amazing food.

We were hungry and mapped breakfast restaurants. We ended up at the Tin Can Cafe! At first it doesn't appear to be more than a 'hole in the wall' restaurant, but WOW is this place amazing. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious! We will be going back for another meal before we leave town. Highly recommend! read more

Good old fashioned breakfast, endless coffee. Great place to start the day! Eggs were good.

They have the best breakfast in Clearwater hands down. I have never ever been disappointed in the food here.

We have stayed at the Marriott just behind the restaurant. Easy walk across the parking lot. Cute decorations (old metal lunch boxes and "cans"). The food was good for the price. On several visits I had traditional eggs and bacon or pancakes. (Covid visit-all precautions were being taken. The place is small so with reduced seating, they only fit a few people. There is a breakfast bar option). read more

Talk about a great local mom and pop breakfast. This place has everything to offer on the menu . You will not be disappointed with stopping by here for some good brunch ! read more
