Regular breakfast
Lori C.

This was our first time at Ryan's, and just happened upon it. We walked in and seated immediately, looked to be a busy lil cafe, with outside seating.. The service was pleasant, coffee nice/strong, stayed full. Extensive bfast/lunch menu, ordered a Build your own Omelette w/home fries and toast, Generous portions, crispy home fries very good, husband got the regular breakfast w/hashbrowns, and enjoyed it. Great lil beach vibe for breakfast with an upbeat staff. Great lil find

Menu

Welcoming little restaurant w/ nice patio seating. Got to park right next to our table even! Huge menu to pick from & lotsa Pastrami options which I was spying. Lunch & breakfast served all day. I decided on pastrami burger with side salad ($2 upgrade definitely worth it), it was a monumental burger experience. Half lb. Patty plus 1/4 lb shaved Pastrami w/ melted Swiss & LTO made for a belly buster. This will be too much food for the normal stomach but luckily I can handle it. My wife loved her order of Athena's Cali Benedict, which is a healthy twist on eggs Benedict. Fish tacos were raved about by my aunt. Kids meals were fine. Mozzarella sticks were awesome. Server was friendly & attentive. Prices seemed about right for the location. Would go back.

Breakfast is served! Yummy

A must try when in Clearwater beach Try to go early, no waiting - staff is friendly as can be. Super nice making recommendations I had the Belt buster, eggs, toast, home fries, pancakes, sausage - the most tasty breakfast ever had. Can't wait to come back ;)

French Toast
Michelle H.

Came on a Sunday morning for brunch and was seated and served quickly. I had the French toast and my fiancé had the omelette. The food was not special. The French toast was bland and the hash browns were burnt. The omelette was good though. Also, there are no prices on the drink menu so I paid $5 for a small orange juice glass. The service was good but the food needs improvement.

Steak Benedict and breakfast burrito with steak added
Diana T.

I actually enjoyed this place, came here after a run on the beach with my cousin and decided to give it a try. I'm so happy we did, I got the steak Benedict and my cousin got the steak breakfast burrito. There was so much flavor in the food. Service was good our waitress was sweet and attentive. The restaurant itself is just your typical local beach restaurant not much to it, they had outdoor seating which was nice. Unfortunately due to the hurricanes they are temporarily closed for renovations but I am patiently waiting for them to open to have that steak Benedict again!

Iron man omelet with hashbrowns
Phoutt H.

Went to breakfast around 10:00 on a Saturday morning. The 5 of us were seated right away. Opted to sit inside due to the heat. The staff grereted us right away and were friendly. The restaurant is small inside and a small curbside patio. The food was decent and priced fairly. I ordered the breakfast bowl wothpit cheese while the family had fruit bowl, bacon, egg & cheese sandwich, iron man omelet, and kid's grilled cheese. The breakfast bowl had scrambled eggs and bacon with potatoes. It was dry without cheese. I should have requested an over easy egg. The iron man omelet had good flavor and the fruit bowl had plenty of fruit. The rest of the food was bland. Overall not a bad deal for a quick breakfast with friendly service.

Mahi Tacos
Kim C.

Excellent service. Fast & friendly. Sweet Tea- best ever! Mahi Taco's & Bacon Cheeseburger we're exactly what we needed for a filling and easy lunch! Restaurant known for breakfast also has a great and varied lunch menu! Would definitely recommend - and can't wait to go back for brekkie before we leave town!

The good - service, food, location, cine, prices, parking. The bad - omelet not as good as expected. The ugly - nothing.

Very good Eggs Benedict and Breakfast Bowl this morning! Friendly staff and quick service.

Steak Benedict
Rochelle 'Shella' T.

Went on a Friday morning with some friends. We were served right away. I ordered the steak benedict. The medium steak was decent and the portion was generous. My son liked his Angel's omelette, and the server rightly suggested to put the jalapeños on the side.

Polina M.

Food is delicious ! Wait staff is great. Highly recommend! Benny's are delicious . A++

Bloddy mary
David G.

This is the best breakfast spot in clearwatwr beach. Food is really good, great atmosphere, and great service. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and it was awesome. Pretty big too. Wife had eggs benedict and it was awesome. I dont normally come out to the beach to eat but Ill definetely be back here for breakfast. Their bloddy marys come fully dressed with olives, bacon, celery. Loved my bloody marry. I bet this place gets super busy during summer. I can't believe ive lived in this area for 4 years and never been. Great breakfast spot!

Regular breakfast from their menu

The dining area is open but we'll cooled due to a nice misting feature. It did not make you wet, just cool. The service was attentive and friendly. We opted for the fried conch, grouper Ruben, and she crab soup. The soup was amazing. Think crab bisque but richer. It was so good we ordered it twice. Once when they opened and another time around 3pm. This first bowl was fresh and super yummy. The second bowl served later in the day was so think it was like a dip. Reminded me of the soup you get on too good to go. Def not fresh, but still tasty. The Ruben was well cooked. I liked it mostly but the fish did get lost in the sando. Not the best way to have fresh Florida seafood but I'm glad I tried it. The cracked conch was just meh. Well cooked as well but kind of tough and no really seasoning on it. The fries were super yummy. This place needs to be a stop when you are in the area.

I don't go places twice on vacation, but after having a less than ideal experience at a nearby…read morecompetitor, I decided to come back for the drinks and the Grouper sandwich! Courtney was my waitress, and even when slammed, she never forgot me. She was professional and did an outstanding job both times I ate with her. As for the food, it was the best I had in Clearwater. I prefer Diner and Dive local eats compared to overpriced and pretentious restaurants. I had the seafood platter and the Grouper sandwich, and both were outstanding and grilled to perfection. I enjoyed my seafood scallops and grouper with green beans on the platter, but I LOVED my sandwich and fries! This was also my FIRST stop on the Cocktail Challenge (four stops for four signature drinks at four locations), and I enjoyed my drink on a humid day and, if I'm being honest, loved my Dockside Lemonade the best of all the drinks on the challenge. I had the Banana Hammock and, of course, the Rum Runner, which was outstanding, but this Dockside Lemonade was cool and refreshing and welcomed. Little sweet as a heads up, but really a nice summer drink! At the end of the day, this was a great way to start my challenge and Clearwater vacation. It can get busy with its proximity to the beach, so beware! ***For the record, if you are interested in the challenge. Go South Beach, Rockaway, Saltwater (for the views and true on-the-beach dining). End with a grouper sandwich (the best I had) at the Original and then cash in your passport at the next block at Off the Hook!

Great prices and solid food…read more I recently read a book about how most grouper isn't actually grouper. The book called out that Frenchy's grouper is the real deal because they fish for it themselves. That was enough to make me want to try this restaurant. I'm glad they have this location, because it was two minutes from Opal sol where we were staying. We were here at about 1130 on a Saturday and there was tons of seats available. It doesn't seem that big, but being that it's pretty far south from a lot of other places I think the size fits the demand. You can sit outside on the first floor or upstairs. Upstairs, there were only about eight tables, but it was air-conditioned and we had a nice view of the beach. All the drinks are so inexpensive. We are talking less than $10 each. I got a butter, pecan old-fashioned and my husband got a margarita and we both enjoyed our drinks. For our entrées, I got a super grouper grilled sandwich with coleslaw, my younger son got a pretzel that was in the shape of Fish, my older son got a chicken tender basket, and the two of them shared, and my husband got a peel and eat shrimp. This was the perfect amount of food for all of us, we ate it all. The pretzel was a huge hit, it comes with queso, and the kids demolished it. The grouper sandwich tasted a little dry, but again I love the fact that it is real grouper so I would definitely try again. Service was pretty quick and music was old school (think Price). I really enjoyed this place and we will definitely come back.

We came to Clear Sky Café on our very first night staying at Sandpearl Resort, and we loved it so…read moremuch that we've been back every single day since! We were told they were nominated for Best Breakfast, and I can confidently say it is **100% well deserved**. I absolutely love everything about this place--from the beautiful decor and friendly atmosphere to the incredible staff, huge selection of food, and, most importantly, the quality of everything we've ordered. Everything is made to order and absolutely delicious. From breakfast to lunch to dinner, every meal has been excellent! We were especially lucky to have been taken care of by some truly wonderful people. Travis served us on our first night and immediately made us feel comfortable and right at home. He was incredibly friendly and gave us some fantastic food recommendations. Sarah was also amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly to our liking. Isabel was another wonderful server who made our experience even more enjoyable. **Briana and Dave were also fantastic and provided such great service, making each visit even more enjoyable.** And we can't forget Robert over at the Bloody Mary bar! He made my husband and me some of the most delicious Bloody Marys, piled HIGH with incredible bites like grilled cheese, fried chicken, and bacon. They were almost a meal in themselves! As far as must-tries go, you **have to** try the Cinnamon Bun French Toast, any of their omelets, the burgers, the Blackened Grilled Chicken Bacon Swiss & Ranch sandwich, the Cuban, the Southwest Egg Rolls, and of course, their amazing French fries. If you're staying at Sandpearl or anywhere in the area, **do yourself a favor and stop at Clear Sky Café.** The food, service, atmosphere, and people make this place truly special. We're already looking forward to coming back!
