The Scene
It would be a challenge to find a more beautiful setting than Clearwater Beach at dusk. Broad, sugar-sand beach; sea oats flapping in the breeze; beachgoers playing volleyball and relaxing in the water. At dinnertime, meander right up to Frenchy's in your bathing suit, goofy sun hat and flip-flops and plop down at a table. You'll find a friendly waitstaff, very good food and excellent drinks.
The Food
Order the Caribbean jerk grouper sandwich, spiced Jamaican-style; it arrives with crispy chips and a big, cold drink with lots of ice; purists will want to order the more traditional grilled grouper sandwich. Frenchy's owns fishing boats, so you know the fish is going to be the freshest. It does salads and desserts well, too.

This restaurant located on the Gulf of Mexico was extremely crowded for dinner! We had a long wait but got great seats on the deck right on the beach. They have really good tropical drinks, however, the food was just average. I ordered chicken fajitas and my boyfriend ordered their famous grouper sandwich. He said it wasn't so great. Friendly crowd and staff.

This is a great stop for a grouper sandwich. The fish sandwich was really tasty. I liked the outside seating area, the atmosphere is fantastic. You can watch the sunset as you eat your dinner. Then take a walk on the beach.

This has always been my favorite Seafood Restaurant. They started with just one location, then as their popularity grew, they expanded adding more locations. I just wish they would add a Tampa restaurant as I can not always get to Clearwater Beach. The dress and atmosphere are casual. The waterfront location is a larger and dressier location. Be prepared to wait as it is a favorite for locals, sailors & tourist. The wait is worth it as the food is always great. Every time we take friends it becomes one of their favorites as well! They have offerings for non seafood lovers as well. The smoked fish spread & grouper sandwich are the best around. I do not believe they take reservations. The price is reasonable. They provide great customer service. You can find pictures of local sailors on the walls. It is family friendly, can be a little loud, but loads of fun! Try to avoid during tourist season. Relax & have a cocktail while you wait for your table. Remember when at the beach, you can't be in a hurry!
