This is the pool bar of the Clearwater Beach Marriott at Sand Key. Daughter Unit wants a nibble and…read morea drink so here we are. Menu not Totally Outrageous for a joint like this, so once DU FINALLY decided to join us, we sat and listened to the alt rock music and the Queen Bee's squeaky azz bar chair in no particular order. There weren't a whole lotta folks sitting here, which is PERFECT for QB and me; we both HATE "peopley" places and things...I noted the menu is very basic bar grub with a lot of overpriced tropical drinks on the reverse side. Zoey was the barkeep; she paid half attention to us but she did answer DU's queries and offered some recommendations. However then the wheels began to fall off. Queen Bee ordered cocktail shrimp app and got coconut shrimp instead. They corrected it and she got 5 shrimps beneath a pile of tostones. They also left the misbegotten coconut shrimp. DU ate a couple of 'em and left the rest...meh! I ordered a cheeseburger. Zoey asked how I wanted it done...medium. It came out a perfect medium well to well done. Once Zoey finally came back..so did the burger. "Do you want anything else?" I want a properly cooked burger. Get rid of this thing...so away it went. So around 15 minutes later Burger 2.0 showed up. It was cooked the way I asked for it...accompanied by an incinerated pile of Sysco Truck fake azz battered fries...BLECH!!!! I squished 'em in a napkin and left 'em in the plastic tray. They belong in the village dump.... Meantime at least Queen Bee finished the proper shrimp. DU had grouper tacos and said they were good "outside of the tacos."' So we are 0 for 3 at THIS dump...I can only say that Zoey tried to make it up to us as best she could...ONLY reason I give more than one star. Much like the hotel in which this place operates...meh! At least the draft beer wasn't beyond help...At least , as well, so to speak...Zoey took one for the team and removes shrimp and burger from the overinflated bill...I STILL owed these people almost $80!!! Marriott needs to step it up around here!!!!!

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!

Our group of 7 got REALLY lucky on a Saturday night and had ZERO wait for an outside table…read more Apparently they don't take reservations for groups under eight people, but we did FINE (parking in the shopping strip lot was ANOTHER story...) Our waitress was quick, super friendly, and VERY efficient. Got all our drink, app., and dinner orders perfectly, and the only issue was what to choose on their tempting, EXTENSIVE menu. My ATTEMPT to keep to my @#$%&* diet was helped out by a WONDERFUL seafood salad, very fresh and topped off with DELICIOUS shrimp and scallops, cooked PERFECTLY. Others in my group were equally pleased with their grouper tacos, fish and chips, and burgers, etc. The one "minor" complaint from someone who ordered the grouper entree, which he said (and I sort of agree...) had less fish than the grouper tacos! Go for the tacos, problem solved!! Quick service, delicious food/great variety, BEAUTIFUL view out on the back patio... There are TONS of great choices in this area, and this is definitely one of them!! Check 'em out!!

They were so kind impersonal and made the experience that much more enjoyable. Now onto the food, I enjoyed almost everything I tried. The coconut shrimp was tasty. The lobster bisque was delectable. The fish spread was super good. The only thing I did not enjoy were the shrimp and crab egg rolls. For my entrée I chose the salmon and made it black and blue and it was just OK. I tried the margarita and didn't love it. Sent it back! But overall from the service alone I would definitely return. The ambience is very much beachy vibes, casual, and overlooks the water. They also have a full bar and outdoor seating.

Salt Cracker Fish Camp completely exceeded expectations and delivered one of the most memorable…read moremeals I've had. The waterfront setting, excellent service, and outstanding food make this place a must visit. We started with the Jalapeño and Corn Hushpuppies with homemade remoulade. They were perfectly crisp, soft inside, and packed with flavor. The remoulade added a creamy, tangy kick that made them unforgettable. The Cajun Mac and Cheese with andouille sausage was easily my favorite mac and cheese ever. The sauce was rich, velvety, and incredibly flavorful, with the sausage adding a smoky, savory depth. It was hearty, indulgent, and satisfying enough to be a meal on its own. The Low Country Boil was the highlight. Everything tasted fresh and perfectly cooked, and the broth was deeply savory, bold, and full of flavor. The seafood, sausage, corn, and potatoes all soaked it up beautifully. Every bite was delicious and comforting. For dessert, the chocolate flourless cake with vanilla ice cream was rich, decadent, and intensely chocolatey. Easily my favorite dessert of the night. The banana bread pudding was also amazing and full of flavor, but the cake takes the top spot. Amazing food, amazing service, and a great atmosphere right on the water. Highly recommend and I will definitely be back next time I'm in Clearwater.

Definitely a touristy spot with their prices but flavors pretty good overall…read more Upon arrival the parking area is paid parking only which seems normal for this area of Clearwater. The ambiance of the venue is an open air right next to the marina. The concept of being able to catch a fish and have the restaurant prepare it for you is really cool! For appetizers we got the baked oysters and the ceviche. The oysters were delicious - perfectly cheesy and baked to perfection, great flavor. Not fishy or gritty at all. The ceviche also provided a great flavor and was devoured pretty quickly! For dinner we got the American red snapper, the black grouper and the beef and reef kebabs. The red snapper was yummy but a little fishy for my taste. The black grouper was probably my favorite, stuffed and served with the lobster gravy on top. So good - I wish I would have ordered this for myself! I ordered the beef n reef which had great flavor but only had three half dollar size beef medallions which was really skimpy in my opinion. For dessert, we got the banana bread pudding and which I was so excited for but was a little lacking in flavor. Probably wouldn't get this again. Probably would not dinner again and if I did I would got with a fish! Our servers name was heather and she was very sweet and quick!

And they'll cook your catch. There is indoor and outdoor seating. They have a full bar, too. And weekend live music. We just never drove down their little street before! It's right by the bike path .

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.
