Reviews for Rusty Bellies Waterfront Grill, Inc. in Tarpon Springs, FL

Overall, the food was good! We had fish dip, calamari, double eagle chicken sandwich, uncle Stevie prime rib sandwich, chicken... Dakota, fried shrimp, and Carley sue shrimp and grits. Chicken Dakota and Carley sue shrimp and grits were the best!! BloodyMary was average but still good. Ordered an IPA and they brought out some other beer, not sure what it was- our server Brittanywas great and made the fix. No complaints on the food, everything was hot and come out rather quickly, but it?s honestly notworth the long wait to be sat for dinner. We came here last night and were told over an hour? today at lunch it was 30 minutes.Get a reservation if you?re planning on coming! Again, Brittany was great!! Read more

I had to find out what the rave was about Rusty Bellies! I am so glad I did! The restaurant offers a wait list, which is great... but I would definitely encourage you to make a reservation. You can do this on line, which is fantastic. The first time I triedto go, the wait was over a hour. Luckily being at the Sponge Docks there were other options. The atmosphere is fun and festive.It is enjoyable for the entire family. There is seating outside by the water as well. Not only is the food options amazing, butthe desert was out of this world! I highly recommend to save room! Our waitress was Jasmine! She was bright and bubbly. Sheexplained what were diners favorites. She checked on our table constantly. It was a wonderful experience. I hope you enjoy ifyou go!! Read more

Rusty Bellies has great food and the service was fantastic. We came for lunch on a Thursday and when I called to see if they had... Ipswich whole belly clams you could tell they were busy so I made reservations for 2 pm. We arrived 15 minutes early and ourtable was already waiting for us. Our waitress Jasmine was outstanding. She brought us our drinks and was constantly refillingthem when needed. Every time she came by she asked us if we needed anything. Jasmine you get a 10+ from us. Now for the food itwas delicious we had the Fish and Chips and Whole belly fried Clams and Jambalaya and Gumbo Soup. It reminded us of back home inNew England. Not too many places in Florida sell whole belly clams just strips. They even have a place to park. We had a greatexperience from checking in to the moment we left. See you soon Read more

Always a good bet to head to Rusty Bellies in Tarpon Springs for seafood! Their menu gets pretty consistent updates so even as... a local and a somewhat regular there are new dishes to explore. We visited on a Tuesday night at 9pm just as the live music waswinding down. We sat on the very pleasant outdoor deck. Pleasant as its August and an inferno in Florida, they had some strongwind moving fans out there and it felt like Fall. We were seated promptly and brought out their signature hush puppies pipinghot. Our server was pleasant, friendly and eager to help. We ordered some of the newer dishes and were not disappointed. Wewill be back! Read more

Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced food in a tourist area. The grouper sandwich my husband ordered was fried and the... fish was so flaky and delicious, you could definitely tell how fresh it was! We got the fried shrimp appetizer which was alsodelicious. The sushi was hands down some of the best I?ve had in the Pinellas county area. They only serve it Thursday -Saturday after 4pm, but it?s worth the wait!! Each roll was better than the next! Everything tasted so fresh! We will definitelybe back again, that?s for sure! Our waiter was also super friendly!! I?m also glad we made a reservation, because we only waited5 minutes to be seated!

The restaurant has plenty of parking spaces. Inside it looks like a typical beach grill, always busy and noisy, but the crowd is... very friendly. Service is attentive and fast. Menu is large and most of their dishes are delicious some of them have verysimple, but nice presentation. The bartenders there have nice vine pours, the martini that we ordered was strong and properlymade. Their prices very reasonable despite popularity. Read more

Amazing food and atmosphere! Wait time was longer than I would like to wait for but well worth it. While we waited for our table... we sat outside, grabbed a drink and listened to the live music. After we were sat we were greeted by our server who was perfectmight I add. Her name was Heather if you happen to get her you're in great hands. She recommended the Snapper and the specialfor my wife which was a scallop dish with mushroom risotto. Again everything was perfect. Will definitely be coming back soon! Read more

Best seafood I?ve had in a long time! The wait times can be a little long, we waited 1-1/2 hours before we can be seated. I... recommend calling ahead or setting up a reservation online. The food was absolutely worth the wait. We got outdoor seating. Thefish dip from the appetizer was great. Servers were awesome and we will definitely be going back. Prices aren?t crazy either.The area was also nice to walk around if you haven?t been to Tarpon Springs. Read more
