Frenchy's Rockaway Grill

The Best Restaurants in St. Petersburg–Clearwater - AFAR

"Perched right on Clearwater Beach, this open-air, hugely popular spot is ideal for fresh seafood, frozen cocktails, and sunsets over the Gulf; expect a wait but enjoy daily live music while you wait. Standout offerings include a signature creamy she-crab soup and a versatile grouper sandwich available grilled, fried, or prepared Buffalo, Cajun, Caribbean, or Reuben-style; a Rum Runner cocktail (rum, banana liqueur, blackberry brandy, and tropical juices) is a classic pairing. The beachfront setting also invites a pre- or post-meal stroll in search of seashells." - Susan B. Barnes
