One of the best things about vacation is discovering new things like cuisine specific to the area. Every vacation destination has its own unique flair and restaurants that reflect the surrounding environment. Indian Shores and Indian Rocks Beach are located right on the Gulf of Mexico, where fresh seafood is caught daily. Even though Florida’s Gulf Coast may be known for its seafood, there are plenty of restaurants dishing out pizza, Italian cuisine, and pub food. The Indian Shores and Indian Rocks Beach restaurants truly have something for everyone to enjoy. And for nights where you don’t feel like eating out, cook dinner in your Plumlee Gulf Beach Realty vacation rental. Read on to discover the best restaurants in our slice of paradise.
Florida Gulf Coast Restaurants
Indian Rocks Beach and Indian Shores are adjacent to each other, so you can easily dine in either town during vacation. Here are a few of our favorite restaurants on the Florida Gulf Coast:
Guppy’s On the Beach
This Indian Rocks Beach restaurant serves some of the freshest local seafood on the Gulf Coast. Menu items like Gulf Grouper Picatta and lobster tail are sourced from local Florida waters. Visit this restaurant during their early dinner specials to save money on dishes like coconut shrimp or rainbow trout.
The Original Crabby Bills
Crabby Bills has been a staple for seafood in Indian Rocks Beach for almost 40 years! They depend on local anglers to provide the best catch of the day every day. The grouper sandwich and fried shrimp are local favorites at Crabby’s.
TJ’s Italian Cafe
TJ’s serves hearty Italian-American cuisine with a tropical flair. This cafe is an excellent place to watch the sunset as you enjoy a cocktail on the porch. The menu consists of everything from gourmet pizzas to hearty subs. Chef TJ recommends the eggplant rollatini, aged filet mignonette, or hand-rolled meatballs.
Salt Rock Grill
If you are looking for fine dining during vacation, visit the Salt Rock Grill in Indian Shores. They are known for their choice-grade beef, freshly caught seafood, and fresh raw bar. The meat is aged to perfection and then grilled over a wood fire to create the perfect dinner.
