Have to start by saying the banana pie we ordered for dessert was absolutely incredible! We couldn't get enough of it. We also ordered the three-piece cheese board and fried cauliflower to start...both were hits. If you're ordering charcuterie, the Red Dragon cheese is a must. Overall great food, cool vibe, and friendly service. read more

This is one of the most confusing reviews I've ever written. While I love the food at this place, service plays a big role in the overall experience. And the bartender is such a tool, I can't overlook it... this place is just a few miles from our home, and I just can't love the place due to pretentious attitude of the bartender. And we love to eat at the bar. So I had a burger and my wife had the steak frites. Both were 9 out of 10... duck fat fries were amazing as were the mains. Sadly, we left before dessert or addl drinks due to lack of service. If you're not a regular, the bartender treats you like trash. BTW - you make regulars by treating folks like humans and making them feel welcome... to be fair, the dude behind the bar in the watermelon shirt was awesome. Unfortunately he wasn't the main bartender. Oh well, this place will remain an occasional visit until they reprimand or replace the DBag. read more

Been going to the little lamb since their OG days when they were smaller square footage wise. We've never had a bad meal here. The service is always great no matter how busy they are. It can get a bit loud especially when they are super busy but not unbearable. We love their pork rinds and their steak tartar is a great way to start your meal. Their entrees changes all the time depending on what's in season. It's a great spot for a date night or get together with friends. read more

We went for dinner and it wasn't that busy. We were welcomed by a very nice guy and he brought us to a table. Nice place inside. We ordered the fish dip, artisan Caesar salad with crispy anchovies and the house burger. The fish dip came out fast but we had to wait quite long for the salad and the burger. The fish dip was too sour for my taste and the crackers were on the soft side. The house burger lacked seasoning and the fries were a little soft. The Caesar salad was delicious! The waitress was very friendly and helpful. read more

I have been to the Little Lamb twice with my boyfriend and it never disappoints. By far, it is our favorite restaurant (better than a Michelin star in Jupiter). Lilyana made our experience special. So attentive to needs, genuine, sweet, and efficient. Any dish you order here is going to embody storytelling in food you've never seen before. I've been all around the world to 5-star hotels and Michelin star restaurants and this menu is by far the most creative. What a hidden gem. I normally get the steak which is served with an encrusted potato cake-esque thing on the side with bok choy and my god. My boyfriend has had the tartare, the lamb carbonara and the salmon and he's never been disappointed. Ambiance is laidback. No need to feel stuffy like other high end restaurants. You can dress for comfort (I wore my chuck taylors and jeans) and not have to worry about some intricate dress code of suits, ties, dresses or heels. Come as you are and enjoy the best food you'll ever have. read more

Beautiful dinner with great friends at The Little Lamb! Service was wonderful! Tried two of their specialty cocktails- the Sunny Disposition and their Hugo- very refreshing for the summer! The crispy Brussel sprouts were among the best I've ever had! Shrimp toast was perfection, and the crawfish and eggplant dish was unique and delicious! Comfortable atmosphere with an upscale menu! I will be back! read more

Great menu. Tough to choose so we shared appetizers (pork ribs, brussel sprouts, cauliflower) and a beet salad. So good Then dinner. Pork tomahawk was my choice. It was moist and delicious. Greg was our waiter and he answered our drink and food questions and was attentive. From others at table: burgers and cocktails are great choices also. read more

My wife and I go as often as we can! The food and service is always amazing! We are always eager to see what new items are on the menu.

Very cute place but limited menu. I ordered the Bacon Blue Burger, which was a burger with blue cheese, thick peppered bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, and mayo on a brioche bun. I upgraded to the duck fries. Fries were fantastic! The burger was a burger. Would not come back unfortunately or recommend. read more

Amazing gastropub in the Countryside area featuring great wine choices and a solid craft beer list. The menu is limited but everything is incredible and the chef is amazing. The service is also good and the setting is relaxed and modern. Definitely one of the best places to eat in north Clearwater! read more

4.5 stars!! . Delicious creative food! And a very nice atmosphere. If I lived a little closer I would be here often.

Walked in. Asked if we could sit on side of Restaurant with Televisions. (Although Bucs game not on?). There were 2 huge High Top tables completely open and asked if we could have dinner served there? Hostess was rude and says we will have to wait for a "table". Something seems off with this lady. We turned around and walked out. read more

Its our go to - need we say more? Great bartenders, fun place to eat and it's local. Friendly bar people. Food has never disappointed

"Little Lamb" BIG flavors! I have Learned my lesson! Yes, I have driven past The Little Lamb numerous times and thought to myself "but it's in a strip mall". Indeed, I have been missing out on some of the best flavor profiles in the Tampa Bay area! We were prepared to make a dinner at home but I just wasn't in the mood to cook. A cursory search of nearby restaurants didn't yield anything exciting. Do you know how it is when you are hangry, you don't know what you want, but nothing sounds good? We were flip-flopping around between several restaurant options but they just weren't incentivizing us to leave the house. There's only so much five dollar sushi you can eat, am I right? I looked at the menu for The Little Lamb several times and we jumped in the car, motivated in part, because the restaurant opens at 4 PM. We are early diners, but the thought of beating all the traffic on a Friday and getting there without having to wait was all we needed. We pulled up, and while I had seen the restaurant previously driving by, it's very nondescript upon first glance. The menu however was seriously impressive and that's what drew us in. The restaurant decor is hip and chic but completely non-pretentious and diners can be comfortable wearing anything from business casual all the way down to shorts and a T-shirt. We each ordered a cocktail and were so excited by all of the different flavors on the menu that we decided to splurge. We ordered two appetizers, a salad and split a burger. Sadly we didn't have room for an actual entrée which I'm sure would've been wonderful based on everything else we ate, but there's our excuse to go back again SOON for round two. The Char Siu ribs were epic. The meat melted in our mouths the moment our lips closed around it. Oops, that sounds seriously naughty. But you know what? It's totally apropos. MELTED We also ordered the Scallop Tartare. It was refreshing, light, and stunningly beautiful. The service was outstanding. Leilani was a very congenial server and even brought us fresh plates between our appetizers so we would not muddle the flavor profiles together. Well done. The Caesar salad was dressed perfectly, each bite coated lightly with dressing and the anchovy crumbles were subtle yet impactful. We finished our binge with a burger to share. We sprung for the duck fries and the deep, savory flavor was worth the small upcharge. My only regret is that we didn't order dessert. We told friends about The Little Lamb experience and we plan to all visit and order "all the snacks". Lesson learned! Never, ever, judge a restaurant for location in a strip plaza. What a beautiful meal! read more

Great neighborhood elevated gastropub! Solid menu with some cool eats like triple tail collars and a lamb burger or the good old steak frites if you need something familiar. The shrimp toast and the beef tartare are a must! Go sit at the bar and have a nice meal while watching the bartender make some cool drinks and suggest wines that work well with the dish your neighbor ordered. read more

The Little Lamb - Robs and cheese / meat plate - Gastropubs Near Me - Clearwater, Florida

The salmon entrees were farm-raised fish and the plate presentation was a mess. No love went into that dish. The $55 "prime" ribeye entree, ordered medium rare to rare, was cut uneven and very thin on one half (the well done half) and cooked medium for the most part; this dish was VERY salty tasting; I swear a few bites of meat tasted "gamey." The waiter was not a professional waiter. This place needs to decide if it wants to be a great bar with so-so food or if it wants to be a great restaurant that also has a great bar. Lots of wasted space in the interior. Skip It. read more

I love this place. Kinda sad that they increased in size. I loved the coziness of the smaller place. Food is excellent. We always get the brussel sprouts and chicken wings. Wings are a bit spicy but not so crazy hot that you can't eat them. Fried cauliflower is the best. I just wish they had a veggie burger or chicken burger option. I don't eat beef, pork, or lamb and that's it for handhelds. We sit at the bar and pig out every visit to the Dunedin area. Highly recommend it. read more

I would call it "new american" food--slightly fusion and influenced by international flavors in a way that I actually welcome; I think this place is really special! We wanted an elevated dining experience without having to go all the way to Tampa, and this place really delivered! We got fried cauliflower, fried chicken, brussel sprouts, and caesar salad to start. Then the lamb burger, lamb t-bone, roasted chicken, and char siu pork as our mains. Literally every dish was so good! They all tasted unique but complemented each other well, and it felt like each dish had flavors that were layered in an unexpected, but enlightened way. I particularlu can't get over that caesar salad, and that's what I want to go back for the most read more

Highly recommend! We used to live less than 5 minutes away from the plaza that The Little Lamb sits. The blessing of Mel y Mel moving always occurs. Before the Countryside area of Clearwater we lives in St. Pete...people used to scoff at us for living there. We move away and St. Pete became THE place to be in Tampa bay. We recently sold our home in Westchase, known as a food desert. The very area we lived in for 9 years now has all these food places being built when we always had to drive far for everything! Countryside is no exception. The mall got a bar Louis. A Chipotle was built. Great restaurants were built in the publix plaza...and now this... The Little Lamb. Excellent food that we had to drive into SoHo to get is now available...only because we moved of course! I digress. So the food is gastronomically amazing. There's a different twist on everything you order here...in a damn good way. Yes you're getting South Tampa eats in Clearwater here. There isn't one thing I didn't enjoy...including the phenomenal service...though we looked super beat after driving 8 hours and weathered from over a month of house renovations...we were still treated like we looked normal! At a place like this I'm sure the menu is ever changing. So I say take a look at my photos but just come in and order what tickles your pickle at that moment. The Little Lamb won't disappoint! read more

Took three friends who had not been and my wife. Everyone was delighted. Had four different main dishes among the four of us and all were perfectly on point. Service was attentive without being intrusive; quite professional. Always enjoy this perfect gasto-pub in Countryside. We will all be back. read more

First time to this place. It Looks small on the outside but is pretty big inside. Lighting was perfect so we were on to a great start. No domestic beers or drafts. Chose the bartender recommendation of Bench mark. It was good but almost $8 a can so that was not appealing to us since we like to have a couple but just opted for one and would move on to a less expensive place. The food was good but a limited menu. Hubby ordered the lamb burger. It was so small and looked like a big slider as opposed to a $20 burger. I got the chicken thighs and loved them. They were spicy but I did like the heat. Neighbors got a house burger (he said it was ok but not the best he's had) and she got the ribs and thought very good. Overall I gave 3 stars due to the price for what we got and the high cost of beer. Service good and may come back since it is close to home. read more

This place is seriously amazing. Our server Chris was the best. We started with the chicken wings and they were a good amount of spice if you eat the kimchi beet underneath and super juicy.

I highly recommend this place. read more

Was not happy the few times I went. I have to say the food is pretty good but the cost is ridiculous. Most dishes are $25-$35 and this is not a true restaurant more like a pub. Their burgers start at $18 and go up. Also, the service lacks in any kind of a friendly way. The bartenders act like they are doing you a favor. Personality like cardboard. read more

This is actually our first time here and we're shocked to find this place has been in business since 2016. They actually just knocked through the wall into the adjoining space, creating a huge barroom as well as a separate dining space. Very modern look and warm at the same time. I noticed that their beer list tends toward local and craft beers, and that's really what the bartender Michael confirmed. He guided me by asking what my beer preferences are and gave me a sample of what I ultimately chose: Bench Life Lager. Very nice, crisp and fresh tasting stuff but also had a little kick to it in the ABV Department. Michael offered to walk us through the menu and told a couple of stories to go with it...we wound up going with their fish dip. Think smoked mahi, topped with cornichons and capers, with some very good crackers. Wow! It was very mild in flavor but the condiments made the whole thing pop. As for entrees, Queen Bee chose pork porterhouse and I the strip loin entree. I was torn between that and their steak frites entree. Michael recommended the former because it's a composed dish with paired flavors rather than a steak with a side of duck fries. I was also thinking of their spin on the juicy Lucy because I love lamb and it screams Greek flavor. Maybe a lunch order somewhere down the road... Her pork dish appeared bland at first, but I made the goof of not trying it with the corn, jicama and blackberry ancho sauce. Once I did, then it was off to the races for both of us, as I wound up finishing her porcine porterhouse. The two together made for a great combo of flavors. My strip loin was awesome; perfectly medium rare. Michael explained the cooking process, which is why he recommended medium rare. It came with beautifully steamed broccoli and whipped taters, with a lovely reduction to top off the steak itself. Again: flavors perfectly mated with a lovely lingering after effect. So yes: we both loved this joint! I honestly think and hope this will become a regular choice for us. Michael is fantastic ambassador for this place. Very good and properly done service while being informal and friendly too. Yay, Little Lamb! read more

Last weekend, we decided to cross a spot off our list that has been there for a long time, The Little Lamb. We are happy we finally made it as everything was exceptional. We met a small group there to explore the menu, 8 people in total. We decided to sample through the appetizers and also have a few drinks. We started with the steak tartare, shrimp toast, chicken thighs, char siu ribs, fried cauliflower, and deviled eggs. For our main dishes we went with the flat iron steak, pork tomahawk, lamb sirloin, swordfish schnitzel, & prime tri tip. The apps started coming out and they all looked great. We all shared them at the table and there was not a bad bite to be found. Everything we had was perfectly seasoned and cooked properly. Everyone was happy. The mains came out shortly after and they looked just a good. My pork tomahawk was amazing. It was served with fried green tomatoes and dirty rice. Amazing combo. Everyone else seemed to really enjoy their meal with little to no complaints. The lamb sirloin was the only meal that my buddy said was ok, but everything else was nearly perfect. For dessert, we went with dulche de leche banana cream pie and beignets served with chai spiced chocolate sauce. Both of those dishes were incredible. Overall, we absolutely loved our visit. The location, food, and service were all top notch. We all enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back soon. Really solid spot. read more

Little Lamb is consistently great food. Staff is very friendly and give great service. There are several things I recommend there: 1. Chicken Wings - Boneless, fried Buffalo thigh meat wings. Really my favorite thing there and no matter what we are eating, I always have an order of wings. 2. Char Sui Ribs - Delicious 3. Best Burger in Town 4. Duck Fries...If you know, you know! 5. All of their salads are great 6. Their Charcuterie board is wonderful. The entries change frequently and all I can say about them is they are all great and try something different every time. But always order the wings! Last night we had Fried Scallops and a Peach salad. Both were delicious. We were traveling and had not been to Little Lamb for several months. Last night was a great reminder why it is one our favorites! Chef James and the staff always put together great new foods. Mike at the bar is a master! Enjoy!!! read more

The worst restaurant we visited since we moved to this area three years ago. The food was good with huge portions, but the prices were very high for what you got. A hamburger with soggy french fries was $18. The ambiance was poor with industrial lighting. The chairs were the most uncomfortable chairs I have sat on since being in church pews 20 years ago. The service was slow and inattentive - trying to get the check was like trying to find the holy Grail. Definitely not on our list of restaurants to ever return to. read more
