About this restaurant

  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
  • Good for special occasions
At the Island Way Grill, we're all about fresh fish. Our own boats make daily trips to the middle grounds to bring back fresh tuna, mahi, snapper and other local varieties. No long-line fish here-just hook, rod, and reel. If it's any fresher, it is still in the gulf. Most of our cooking revolves around our oak and citrus fired open pit, which sears at an extremely high temperature and adds a delicious smokiness to everything grilled. You'll find an abundance of fresh herbs and only the best quality seasonings. Fresh vegetables are used throughout our menu, and all soups and sauces are hand-prepared. We are also proud to provide an excellent selection of the worlds best oysters flown in fresh for your enjoyment. In addition to our menu, our chefs prepare a varied assortment of daily specials that always add an element of interest to our every-day offerings.

    The service was the distraction. It seemed like they didn’t have enough staff or coordination to keep the tables clean, picking up dirty dishes, or filling up water glasses. We ordered fairly expensive items which arrived poorly cooked or missing needed utensils. For example, the stone crab arrived without any forks so there was no way to get to all the meat and when we asked for crackers so we could break the clause more they said they had run out and didn’t have any more available. Not really acceptable for this kind of restaurant.

    Our first time to Clearwater and to Island Grill which came up in a Google search. 10/10 all around from Drinks, food and service but a special shout out to our waitress Morena. She was what every waitress/waiter should be and more. Definitely will be back

    We went for the buffet on Sunday breakfast and lunch all at once all of the breakfast items did not taste good. We all agreed that, the lunch portion of it was OK but $42 per person. I don’t think so.

    Great restaurant on the beach. Very noisy on Saturday night. Good food, excellent service. Very pricey though so I can’t “highly” recommend, but if you got it like that…you will enjoy.

    I always order octopus anywhere I go if it is on the menu. The grilled octopus at Island Way Grill is the best I have ever had! The seafood stuffed salmon and grouper was superb. Nice house wines as well.

    Fantastic once again. Hubby had the Mahi mahi and it was great, son had strip loin, fantastic and I had the chicken bacon handheld and it was really good. Started with coconut shrimp and it’s clearly the best on the gulf. We 🇨🇦 have been here 5 times this spring and once more before we leave. It is our favourite!

    All the food was bad. The grouper dinner was dry and overcooked. Mashed potatoes were cold. The other dinner was fillet with Oscar. Asked for it to be separate plates for the seafood and the meat came out together. Sent it back came back cold crab meat, asparagus is overcooked, and the meat was literally raw, and it was supposed to be medium.. Just bad waste of money don’t go there. I wouldn’t go again. Go to the prime restaurant around the corner.

    We made a reservation and ended up waiting almost 20 minutes after our reservation time because they accidentally marked that we had already been seated. We were seated at a table that was not yet cleaned and still had the previous guest dishes, drinks, and bill on the table. We waited patiently for a server multiple times, and when one of the others realized we had not been helped yet he jumped in assist is even though it was not his assigned area (Thank you, Garrett!). The food was great but on the pricier end! Not sure if we would push our luck and go back if we are ever in the area.

    Great Bruch Menu, it has a lot of food items for the price of $40/person, including one Mimosa or Champagne glass. A little noisy inside, but overall a must while in Clearwater Beach.
