What People Are Saying About Palm Pavilion Inn

The Scene
Situated right on a beautiful stretch of wide, sugar sand overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, Palm Pavilion boasts a big, open-air bar. Protected from the sweltering sun and kissed by cool sea breezes, there's space to lounge up front, as well as shaded tables in the back.
The Dish
The menu is predictable--tuna and grouper sandwiches, hot dogs, french fries--but the food is fresh, high-quality, and well-prepared. A few years ago, owner Ken Hamilton even added a few salads, all of which are excellent. And the ice cream is frozen rock-solid, just the way we like it.
Schmoozin' and Boozin'
Frozen cocktails are the specialty here. They may be a bit pricey, but the bartenders' fruity concoctions are the perfect antidote to those sweltering days. Pina coladas and strawberry daiquiris are especially recommended.

I eat here often, I'm a local kinda I live on the outskirts of Clearwater, I like to chill out and eat on the deck with a table close to the bar, the view of the ocean is great and the people come from all over the globe. It's a good place for couples, singles and groups of friends. When i'm done eating and having a nice tropical drink I head out to take a walk on the beach. I really like this place.

Great location on the beach. Always quick service, friendly. We have been going here for the past 15 years for lunch. This is a real beachy place for tourist and locals alike.

After seeing an inviting TV commercial and talking to someone who had been there, I decided to try it for dinner, as my condo was within walking distance. OMG. What a rip off. Let me start by saying that there were at least 8 servers chatting it up, while diners waved frantically for attention. Our sever dumped us at an out of the way table, then proceeded to ignore us after she took our order. I ordred the grouper dinner, and it was basically boring and unimaginative. No spices, no salt and pepper, nothing. Canned green beans accompanied my uninspired dinner, and the mashed potatos wre the best part of the meal. I do not normally write reviews, but his meal was so bad I wanted to let others know. Order the bugers, the wings, the beer. but DO NOT come here looking for a real dinner.
