They have the best service and friendly staff we have lived in the area for years but never stopped there.. we saw Wednesday was prime rib day and decided to try it.. the best choice we could have made.. while we were there the waitress told us the fish n chips on Friday was also very good.. we decided to go back and try it.. it was no disappointment.. it was the best we have had in the area... we will definitely go back! Great job salty shamrock and all your employees are the best! read more

We love this place! We come here all the time ! Best place in Apollo Beach! The food and atmosphere is great. The live music can't be beat!

The staff is the one good thing about this place. I go regularly but only because my favorite band plays there. The menu is not vegetarian friendly unfortunately, and they charge you $5 a person to come see the live music, which is the only good reason to come, a sneaky way to support local music in my opinion. The food is subpar and over priced and the wait time is always excessive but like I said, the staff is the positive. If it wasn't for supporting the local band I follow i wouldn't ever go. read more

Dr. Love (from Buffalo, NY) We really enjoyed our experience at the Salty Shamrock. Brandy was our beautiful and charming bartender. She took our ole guy sense of humor and made us laugh right back. We laughed about her knowing the band that sang the song of her name . . . Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) ... You should offer a free drink for anyone who can name the obscure but well heard band. Great atmosphere and we hope to see this business represented in our local community publication soon. read more

Love saltys. Here every week. Eddie is the best. Service is great from everyone. "Daddy still got it"

This was my second time here. The last time was some time before COVID, so it was good time in between. We sat outside and enjoyed the music and beautiful weather. The breeze coming through as we sat under the patio was really nice. We loved the food and drinks. The server was very nice and attentive. She advised us on the special for the day and offered dessert. The portion sizes were decent. My only feedback: - The wings were a bit costly at about $2 each. - The limes for the drinks were not fresh. read more

5 Stars - Salty Shamrock Irish Pub, Apollo Beach We've been going to the Salty Shamrock for about four years now, and it continues to be one of our favorite spots. The staff, food, drinks, and entertainment are always excellent, which is why we keep coming back. In all our visits, we've never had a bad meal. Everything is consistently delicious and well-prepared. On our most recent visit, one of the dishes we ordered didn't come out with the rest of the food. It was a busy night, so we didn't think much of it and started enjoying the rest of the meal. When the delayed item finally arrived, Manager Jen personally came over to apologize--even though we hadn't complained. That level of attentiveness was a pleasant surprise and truly shows how much they care about their customers. The dish, as always, was absolutely delicious--and actually came out nice and hot, which turned out to be a bonus! What really sets the Salty apart is the people. Special kudos go to our favorite bartender, Clay--he always makes an outstanding Old Fashioned and has fantastic drink suggestions. Og (Shaun), the manager, always takes the time to greet us, which we really appreciate. Shoutout as well to Shaun, Nick, Britni, and Amanda behind the bar, and to Avi and Shea for their great service. The Salty Shamrock truly delivers great food, drinks, and a welcoming atmosphere every time. Highly recommend! read more

Food and service was mixed . Celtic egg rolls were good. Trash can nachos had a weird spice on the meat. However when the bill came out both items were $1 more in the check than what was listed in the menu. Bad form. Sports bar atmosphere. read more

Great little Irish Pub on US 41 in Apollo Beach. Had the Pot Pie and it was by far one of the absolute best I have ever had.......PERIOD. Good atmosphere and service. The only negatives are a sur charge for credit cards and very uncomfortable seats (metal). Definitely opt for a high top or bar stool which are padded. That said, the pot pies made it worth it. read more

I had a lovely time last night at saltys and had the server Ari and she was so amazing and helpful with the menu and any questions we had. Will definitely be asking for her again!! read more

Came here with a friend to watch a band play. We had a great time ate and danced. The atmosphere was great vibes. It was such a nice day outside to sit out on the patio under an awning while watching the band. Had the best Shepherd Pie I ever had! It's so amazing! I'm disappointed that i forgot to get upside down pineapple cake to go before I left. Was super stoked to see that on the menu. Waitress was awesome. She constantly checked to make sure we were good. Plenty of parking. read more

Salty Shamrock - Shepherd pie! The best! A must try! - Seafood Near Me - Apollo Beach, Florida

They started an 'Entertainment Fee' of $5 per person that's added to your bill. Very shady! Nothing on their website or Facebook about it. We've enjoyed going there since we moved here 5 years ago and when they had a cover charge, it was posted on the internet so you knew what to expect. All I ask is for transparency. Sorry, but it's bad form. read more

They started charging an entertainment fee of $5 per person but not being transparent or sharing that on their site. That's a cover charge - just say it and don't hide it. Your staff doesn't come back to the tables. We wait forever to get a drink if it all...sometimes you never get what you order then you have to argue about your bill. Don't recommend. C bc read more

Not terrible, not exactly an authentic Irish food experience either. He got the Fish & Chips ($19) - big piece of fish, but a little mushy. More of a bar/live music place than a meal experience but looks like it's a good time at night. Service was fine, lots of young ladies in tiny plaid skirts if that's your thing. Outdoor seating, covered and lots of tables in the lot, small stage. read more

Salty's has good items, but it's important you know what to get. Highly recommend their potstickers, poutine, and Shepard's pie (yes get the extra cheesy topping). Ditch the nachos... salty and not enough cheese imo. The service is quick and the ambiance is a super casual pub type feel. They have games you can play inside. read more

I have been here a few times since my last review 7 years ago, but must have forgotten to review. This place has changed so much with all the seating and the stage, which is great. We reserved a nice table under cover to enjoy the band, and found the menu to be pretty limited. Our server was there at first, but not good at following up with us. Beer glasses were empty for long periods of time, and it wasn't very busy. We ordered the mild jumbo wings and a supreme pizza. The wings were not jumbo, but had a decent flavor. The pizza crust was a little hard, but the flavor was good. At $24 for a pizza, it seemed a bit pricey. We were enjoying the band after eating but the server seemed put out we were only ordering drinks and sticking around. Seemed odd, as that's what the place is all about. Lastly, if you pay by credit card, there is a surcharge read more

Great place for live music, however there is a band fee of $5 per person. The food is average at best with their limited sports bar menu. Wings and maybe salad are probably best. Irish stew was basically Irish potatoes with limited meat for $19. Burgers are $17.00 and are just okay. If you change the cheese you get charged a $1.00, if you want maynosise it's $.075. Extra pizza sauce on a pizza is $2.00. Another little cup of dressing is a $1.00. Really? When you spend $100 or more on each visit why all the extra petty fees? Only reason to go is the live music. Try to eat before you go. read more

The atmosphere is fun and lively, with good service but that's about it. Besides that, expect subpar food at best and to be nickel and dimed, especially if sitting outside with the live band. You'll be told repeatedly that there is a $5 entertainment fee for sitting outside while the band is playing, and if you're paying with a card, expect a surprise credit/debit card transaction fee. Chicken tenders were mediocre, and the mustard that came with the Bavarian pretzel had a refrigerator taste to it. This place looked promising, but due to the high menu prices, multiple fees, and "meh" food, we won't be back. read more

Great atmosphere, staff and food Totally enjoyed our first visit We will be returning read more

Dined here after picking some friends up from the airport, and they were hungry and wanted something to eat and not fast food. So we tried three other restaurants in the Apollo Beach and Ruskin area but they were all closing or closed, and it was only 9pm. That's kinda early in my opinion but we had this option. We found a great table and we were greeted immediately by the bartender ( forgot his name ) but he was great during our entire experience. I had a smash burger with onion rings and my wife had the classic chicken sandwich. Our friends had the grouper sandwich and St Patrick poutine. The food was abundant, delicious and hot upon arrival to the table. Our friends had several cocktails and they said that they were made perfect. There's plenty of parking, good access getting in and out and the dress code is very casual, this place is more like a sports bar atmosphere. I'm not sure how much the bill was but I'm sure it was very much $$. This night which was a Thursday, the restaurant had a special of BOGO on the boneless wings. I would recommend this place if your in the Apollo Beach area. It's right off of US 41 near Big Bend Road. read more

I've been to Salty's maybe 5-6 times. Sometimes just for a couple drinks, and sometimes to eat. Their food was always good, but it never made me crave it to think about wanting to go back for more. We came here for trivia on Tuesday (first time all 4 of us did Trivia here), and we all loved it! We won first place! Woot woot! So we will definitely be back again soon to use this gift card that we won. They have a new menu, which now includes pizza! I ordered the hand tossed carnivore pizza, and it was delicious! I really like their marinara sauce. Hubby got the Nashville Hot Chicken Sammy, which he liked. I actually liked it too even though I'm not a fan of those. For an appetizer, we got Irish Poutine, which was super tasty! I LOVED the corned beef on top, and cheese curds & gravy are always delicious on fries. Their shamrock fries are really good too. My friends got Philly Cheesesteaks which they said were good. One of my friends got the Hot Chocolate Float spiked w/ peppermint schnapps, which she really loved. I can't wait to try more of their food. It's been a few years since the last time I ate here. Looking forward to trying their smash burger & fish & chips. I am sad they no longer have corned beef & cabbage or grouper anymore. I'm sure it will make an appearance on one of their specials menu (HOPEFULLY!). I also really love the new seating arrangements & they added another bar. They have tons of outdoor space. Service was great. They always have events here so I'll probably start coming here more often. read more

Amazing spot for football season and live music, great service and good selection of drinks definitely an apollo beach staple

The food is the usual bar food. If we go, it's on Bingo night that they do for fundraisers for C.A.R.E. Animal Shelter. I haven't been there in quite a while but I did like fries and gravy. Sometimes the wait staff is overly busy and service gets slow. read more

We had a lot of fun sitting outside having a drink. Our appetizer was great, but I don't recommend the pizza. I think it may have been a premade, frozen pizza. I would go back again and order something else, though. read more

The food is pretty good. They do a really good job of picking out the entertainment. The whole place just has a really good vibe. Good music, good times read more

Well it's a pub, a bar, a live music venue and restaurant. Glad we went in a slow day as parking is a little tricky and I can't imagine the place packed indoor and out. That being said the service was good, the margarita strong and no used tea today. Also several menu items unavailable as we understand supply chain issues. The Fish in the fish and chips was a huge piece of white fish. Very well done nice and light and crispy. The chips (fries) were just fries nothing special and the coleslaw was bland. The Ruben sandwich was very well done (half came home) and again the fries were just fries. Might try again so I can sample their chowder or the lobster Mac & Cheese but again definitely on a slow or off day. read more

I came with a group of about 50 people. Lectured by waitresses before ordering anything. Service was absolutely terrible. Order a beer and they forget to put order in and order another beer and you get the wrong beer. Order a drink from your waitress and another waitress brings your drink. Then you get kicked out for standing up. Never again! And I was a loyal Salty Shamrock member. This place is unfortunately going down hill fast - Irishman read more

Best bar in Apollo Beach! They have live music, karaoke, trivia, and an Elvis impersonator! The bartenders, servers, and manager are super attentive and on it even when it's packed! Sean and Clay are amazing. Beer buckets are the best bang for your buck and the bavarian pretzel with beer cheese is chefs kiss Definitely have to check this place out! read more

The food here can be good just depends On what it is. I had a really amazing shrimp boil that was great. The night I came for this meal it was a call ahead and I had to wait about 10min after arrival the place was packed. The gentleman bar tendering this evening as swamped but acknowledged me and finished a few folks ahead and then took my drink orders and I was able to pick up and enjoy at the bar. The seafood boil had shrimp, corn and potatoes very good deal. My second visit was to come in this evening 8:30, Monday for the Valentine's Day. Sat at the bar and was greeted but then the female bartender never came back and spend the rest of her time dancing and chatting with other patrons she had already. I guess regulars but why leave me with a menu and not take my order? Disappointed in the service here we decided to to go elsewhere for our dinner tonight. If wasn't very busy since this evening was colder so only 3 folks inside at her bar area. read more

Not sure what's up with Salty's tonight but the food was nasty! The Shamrock burger was well welll done and looked like it had been built by my 5yr olds Kindergarten class. The Reuben was disgusting, had a metallic taste and the bread was soggy. Terrible experience! Not sure who's running kitchen but I had Marine Chow Hall food that tasted heavenly. Compared to this! read more

Pleasant trip as a new ruskin resident. Fresh food, big space and fresh music. I really feel like the reviews here are unjustified after my experience. The waiters do their jobs and you pay the same price for applebee's. My experience: I walked in like a cowboy looking for my first meal of the day at around 4pm. I picked a seat out with some friends and got served immediately. We decided to get a piña colada shrimp appetizer and waters and a guinness beer. My friend claims the beer is exactly what you need after a long day. I got the burger and shamrock fries. The food was fresh, tasted of premium ingredients and came out quick. Super satisfied of the value because the food was very satiating, indicating that it was high in good fat. Once the shamrock fries were cooled down, i had a euphoric time downing each one of those crispy bastards. I did not know fries could be at this level. Throughout this time, my waiter checks up on us and my friends and i have a solid time! Problems and things to improve: The ambience outside could be better, i dont really read more

Went to the St Patrick's Day festivities at The Salty Shamrock Saturday night, and had the best cornbeef and cabbage I've ever had! Absolutely delicious! Cornbeef, cabbage, carrots, potatoes with a light sauce. Cooked perfectly and served hot. The group of people I was with ordered different things from the menu, and it was all delicious! Ample parking, fun time. 4 stars since the Irish band canceled and dj did not play Irish music. A little disappointing, but overall, a great evening! Highly recommend especially the food. read more
