About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Great for scenic views
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.

    Cold food. Poor service. We tried Island Way Grill because we LOVED Salt Rock Grill in Indian Rocks Beach (same owners, I believe). Our experience at Island Way Grill was terrible. Will not be back.

    Salmon was mediocre, the pasta dish barely had any shrimp in it. The waiter have no personality at all. We asked for certain condiments and sat there waiting for 10 minutes and had to ask a second time, by that time our food was cold. I have been there before and had a great experience but not this time.

    We were here for our Anniversary ,but unfortunately the place was slammed with spring breakers , St Pats Day etc… We had a 6pm reservation and were not seated until almost 7pm. It was very chilly so no one wanted to sit outside which I believe added to the delay. Once we were seated our waitress Emily who was fantastic got us our drinks. We ordered the special appetizer Oysters Rockefeller which did not come out for awhile. Emily checked a few times and when it did come out it looked great but was ice cold 🥲. I think if it had come out hot it would have been fine . I’m not sure why they put it on dry ice ? They tasted ok but we did not finish them because of the coldness . For my entree I got a Filet with mashed potatoes . The filet was warm and cooked correctly but again the mashed was cold. My husband got the special stuffed grouper. He enjoyed the fish but did not care for the stuffing. It was served on top of 3 giant asparagus and mashed potatoes. The mashed again was ice cold as was the asparagus. For dessert we got the sampler with a mini key lime pie , mini crème brûlée and a mini warm chocolate cake. They were perfect. Overall it was disappointing but we will give it another chance in the future. Everyone was nice and appeared to be working their butts off. I think maybe they needed more staff on a night that was extremely busy. I don’t know if we would do a special occasion dinner there again but we will be back .

    the food was just OK They dessert on the sunset menu was a joke.. less than 2 spoonful's complicated by the fact that the soup spoon that comes with the dessert is too wide to get to the bottom of the tiny dish that the dessert came in. The waiter was mechanically fine, but everything about him said he just did not want to be there. Never a smile . The menu is clearly overpriced.

    We had a reservation at 7:15 and we’re not seated until 8:15 due to an overbooking. I understand that this is partially out of the restaurants control, however no one was very apologetic and once we were seated our waiter was lovely but we definitely felt rushed.

    I felt waiting almost an hour for a 7 o'clock appointment was a little too long. And yes, it did rain that day with wind. But people who came in after us went before us to a table. I could not understand that. But the food and service more than made up for the wait. Rod

    We haven't been back for the brunch for years. The quality of the food has definitely declined since our last visit. The meat wasn't very tender. The sushi was not tasty and even was fairly fishy tasting. The staff was very friendly but overall we were fussy with the quality of the food.

    The Island Ways Grill always is one of the highlights of our Spring Training trips! What a great variety of food, everything was top notch. Service was excellent and personable, and the atmosphere is great. Pair all the above with a very reasonable price and we couldn’t ask for more.
