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.

Meat station employees were eating as they served. The food was inedible. The cost was ridiculous for the food quality.

Island Way always has delicious food. We chose from the club menu. Portions are smaller than the regular menu. Unfortunately it was extremely loud in there and very difficult to have a conversation at your own table. Many large tables that day with families who were all talking very loudly. Might be less noisy outside, but that day was a little chilly to sit outside.

We’ve been to Island Way many times in the past but was very disappointed with this visit. The food was subpar all around - lobster was overcooked, sea bass mushy and flavorless. Our server was very sweet but I have to guess new to the industry - one of our water glasses had a bug in it upon serving. Had to ask twice for a new glass and the one with the bug remained on the table. One member of our party waited 15 mins for their drink and the restaurant wasn’t very busy. I understand everyone/every restaurant can have a bad night but we had our family in from out of town and had hoped to impress them with some amazing seafood- and this experience didn’t do it.

As usual we had good food at a great price and the service was good but perhaps too good. Before we finished our salads the next course was being delivered to the table. We all felt rushed and since the appetizers and the main course arrived so close together we were rushing to eat food before it got cold. Our server was new and perhaps inexperienced which led to the food delivery being somewhat forced. Still,love this restaurant but not happy when food is delivered in this fashion.

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.
