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.

    We have been coming here for about 7 years when in Clearwater Beach. Have always enjoyed it but I think tonight was the best meal ever. Our server was Sierra and she was spot on in every way. RJ was the bartender and made my husband’s martini to perfection. I had the Autumn mahi-Mahi and it was fabulous! My husband chose their meatloaf selection. He enjoyed it emensly and found the portion so generous he could not finish. Always a favorite when in Clearwater Beach.

    Food is very good. Not fancy at all. Dogs are everywhere one was just loose and walking around. No cage or leash. We saw one on owners lap eating from a plate. Music was a one man band that was very good. If you don’t like loud ask to sit in the back or outside. We had 3 glasses of wine and three appetizers and with tip the bill was $103.00. Very expensive but what isn’t these days. Don’t miss the Clam Chowder it’s spectacular!
