Inside seating as well as a diner counter.

Loved this divey little breakfast spot! While it calls itself a cafe, it's essentially a diner, people! Think diner food, diner prices. Servers were friendly and matched the divey diner atmosphere. If you're a Karen who can't start your morning without your Starbucks frappelattecappucino with a shot of whatever and coconut milk then this might not be your place. But if you're looking for a basic breakfast to get your morning going with some nice hot coffee this is your spot.

A nice little breakfast cafe. I had the 3 pancakes and coffee. The pancakes were huge and delicious. Our waitress brought me the coconut glaze (SO GOOD). This place has such a great atmosphere and personality. Everyone was friendly coffee and food were great. I would recommend this place.

The worst food I have eaten at Clearwater beach!!!! Home fries were dry as heck with no flavor. Bagel sandwich was greasy as heck!!! Wasn't even toasted, think they cooked it on the griddle. Same no flavor. Would definitely never come here again!!

First time coming and we stayed across the street. This place is super decently priced for breakfast and such a cool vibe. It a small diner so make sure you get there early we had a table of 6 but was seated right away on a Tuesday morning. Everything we ordered was delicious. Staff was super nice and friendly place was clean. Great place to eat and affordable.

This was a great breakfast at an affordable price. They tend to get busy the later it gets so go early. Plus it's a small place. We had the French toast with strawberries and whipped cream, pancakes, scrambled cheese eggs and bacon. It came to the table hot and exactly how we ordered it. Highly recommend and will be back if in the area.

Awesome "divey" breakfast, lunch place. Small atmosphere where you see everything going on. The breakfast food is amazing with decent sized portions. The employees are super friendly and fun to converse with. A definite stop in at your visit to Clearwater Beach

Mom's Eggs Benedict

Friendly greeting, fast service and fabulous flavors! Try the house omelette and mom's eggs Benedict! The fruit plate is delicious, the coffee is strong and satisfying! A great way to start a Clearwater day!

Irish Benny and home fries

Went twice this trip. BIG FAT Bennies! Great breakfast. Staff is personable and friendly. I enjoyed the outside seating.

Inside

We had a breakfast at this restaurant two years ago. It was so great that even our picky toddler loved it. The inside was clean and cozy but a bit small especially the space between tables. But that's not a problem considering how lovely it looks. We had visited again today but we were late and the breakfast time passed according to the waitress. I insisted couple of times since some people may have brunch at noon. But they refused and I think I understand. We ordered cheese burger and tuna sandwich. The burger was not good but the sandwich was ok. I guess this place is great choice for breakfast.

Cozy place. Almost hole in the wall. Can't go wrong with breakfast food. Wasn't super crowded for lunch.

Egg sandwich and Florentine Benny.

Great service and food! I had the egg benedict with bacon added. Delicious! The place is small and busy! May have a wait but worth it.

This is the bar at the Clearwater Beach Marriott Resort. I don't normally drink frozen drinks, but…read morethe frozen margarita is a most. I also had the spicy marg which was perfect ( I upgraded since I don't drink Cuervo). I also highly recommend the fries, sweet potato fries and wings.

This is a great bayside bar & grille located in the Clearwater Beach Marriott Resort on Sand Key…read more Sunrise can be seen here but sunset must be viewed from across the street. Their menu had some decent options and they were willing to work with us to provide lower carb options. Three stand out servers to mention: Cass & Jason and Kimi. These three were rockstars and made our stay so good! They earned the triple digit tips and were much appreciated! Conversely, and the reason I dropped a star, was Omar. He was a terrible server that was more interested in picking up on the young ladies around the pool than doing his job as a server. If you find yourself in his section consider moving or just go to the bar and get your own food and drinks. He is the sorriest excuse for a server on the planet. He completely ignored my wife and I. We had to come to him to order, not the other way around. At first the bar told us we had to order from him, but I pressed the issue and Brandon let me open a new tab with them. Less convenient, but way better service than Omar. A stand out moment was on Thursday, when they ran out of Deep Eddy Lemon. Cass ensured there was a new bottle the following morning. Likewise on Saturday, they ran out of Deep Eddy Lemon once again. Jason asked if there was any other vodka that would work. I said something to the effect of "no thanks.... I'll just pass." I think he moved mountains to locate another bottle on premises keeping the vacation and vibes flowing. Much appreciation Cass & Jason! Kimi didn't move mountains for us, but she was regularly there for us. On time, on target.

We've been coming to Rusty's Bistro at the Sheraton resort for every holiday, and Thanksgiving here…read morehas become an absolute must for our family. Their Thanksgiving buffet is truly exceptional -- beautifully prepared dishes, delicious flavors, and so many options that everyone walks away happy (and very full!). It's the perfect place if you want a relaxing holiday without the stress of planning, cooking, or cleaning. You just show up, enjoy, and feel taken care of. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming -- it honestly feels like visiting your relatives for Thanksgiving, but with way better food. The staff is a huge part of what makes this place so special. Our server, Alejandro, was amazing as always -- attentive, kind, and genuinely warm. And Alexandra (I believe she's a manager) is absolutely wonderful. She makes you feel welcomed the moment you walk in, incredibly accommodating, and truly goes above and beyond to make the experience perfect. Rusty's Bistro is one of those rare places where the food, the vibe, and the people all come together. If you're looking for a stress-free, delicious, and memorable Thanksgiving, this buffet is the place to be. Highly recommend!

Mother's Day busy but Steve our server gave excellent services. We enjoyed quiet area and good food.read more

We joined the walk up list for clear sky via their website around 11am on a Saturday, and our table…read morewas ready within 10 minutes. We were seated as soon as we arrived, and throughout our visit the service was really good. My friend and I were having a very hard time deciding, and when we asked the server, she flat out told us that the two things we were torn between were awesome and we should order both and split them. We got the shrimp and grits and the lobster Benedict. On their own, the grits weren't anything special, although they were texturally great. Now when you add the shrimp and gravy . . . This dish is a whole other deal. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the gravy was super well balances. It had the perfect level of spice. The lobster Benedict had a perfectly poached egg, and it worked so well. The mornay sauce was a lovely touch. I'd definitely order it again, but I would also definitely order the shrimp again. Long story short, our server was right, they were both amazing. I also got a standard Bloody Mary, which was solid. I would definitely go back to this place. It's got an upbeat, family friendly atmosphere, and I think it's a great spot for locals and out of towners alike. It's also well priced. I'd also love to try their beignets or French toast next time. They've also got a huge lunch/dinner menu that I'd definitely want to try if I were in town for longer.

Went here on day 1 of our vacation in Clearwater on a Wednesday afternoon. Was recommended by a…read morestaff member of the resort we stayed at. Ambience was like your regular breakfast place or diner, but definitely family friendly. We were there with our 8 month old baby boy and felt comfortable. Food tasted pretty okay, we ordered coconut shrimp, fish n chips and chicken tacos for brunch! The fish was a little undercooked and the batter was still a bit wet inside. Other items were not bad. For drinks, I ordered their popular pomegranate mimosa which came really flat (no bubblies) and in a wine glass! I sent it back and got a mojito instead - which tasted a lot better! Additionally, we were not aware the breakfast menu closes at 12 pm and we were already seated, so kind of felt obligated to order from the lunch menu at around 12.05 pm! It was too early for a sea food lunch for us! We saw the table next to us had ordered breakfast just a few minutes before us but we were denied because it was already past noon. Overall a pretty average experience. I was expecting a little more authentic experience but turned out to be just like your local diner.
