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.

                                                  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.

                                                  We have been here many times and today is the first time I can say we left very unfulfilled! Today was my son’s birthday, made reservations months in advance because this is his favorite restaurant and the food was not at par. #1 the egg Benedict was AWFUL no hollandaise sauce and the food at the Buffett was actually lackluster. We left very unimpressed. So sad it had to of been on my sons birthday and he was so excited for it. Definitely not happy.

                                                  Delicious fresh fish, piccata sauce. Excellent service. Alittle chilly inside and loud, but aesthetically beautiful environment. Would return

                                                  The food was excellent and lots of choices. Service was great and the bar was great to spend time at while waiting.

                                                  What a great location on the water next to the Clearwater Aquarium. The outdoor seating was comfortable with plenty of space, our server was attentive and sweet, the food was overall very good and plentiful. I would highly recommend this brunch specifically - the price pp of $ 39 can't be beat. Plan to bring our Austrian family here before our Aquarium visit in March !
