Beach Fyre BBQ Grille

Wow, worst food ever. They must clearly be a BBQ place because they have no idea how to do dishes that involve fish and shrimp. Maybe that was my mistake, but I figured since they are on the beach certainly they would be able to bread a fish stick and make a po boy sandwich. I was wrong. I couldn’t eat it and went to DQ instead.

I was craving a po-​boy shrimp sandwich. Stopped here on the beach. The breading was horrible and tasted gritty, with no seasoning in the batter. Coleslaw was good. The fish fingers were over done and again, no seasoning. Bland food. I could not even finish my meal. I know what a po-​boy sandwich taste like and you would think it’s not that hard to make. Could be a new cook or off night, but I was not impressed at all.

This place is terrible. My bf liked the ribs &shrimp tacos, my chicken made me sick! U have got to be DRUNK to like this place, with an initial 20 minute wait to get drinks ordered. I was so hungry food came about 30 minutes later… now my drink is gone, (sprite, which tasted horrible, like dirty seltzer water) finally food comes, before I can ask for another drink she’s gone! Service terrible, with the exception of one that made sure we didn’t get up to have to order… which was a sign from the beginning. …bad place to eat!

Where to start here?
After waiting for 20 min in the hot corner of the restaurant, don’t let your kids pick the seat, I finally walked up to the bar and let the older gentleman know that we were ready to order. He said, «someone will be there shortly, if you haven’t noticed we are kinda busy.» Now when we walked in the door there were 4 people seated at the bar and one guy at a table. But right after us, a table of 10, one of 4 and another of 2. So then I smiled and said, thank you sir. 10 min later he came and took our order, my wife made sure we got our order in before the large party. 30 min after that, the large party is receiving their food. : — (
5 min later, or server comes over and says they are out of blue berries, different pancakes ordered. 5 min later he cane back and said, they are out of wheat bread, what other toast would you like? My wife goes and says something to the lady behind the bar about how long we have been waiting. 10 min later or food comes out WRONG! WHAT THE FRENCH TOAST!!! Which is what I ordered that was suppose to have strawberry compote, lol, it was ugly French toast with strawberries on top and some whip cream on the side.
My wife wants to blame all bad service because we are a interracial couple with biracial kids. I try to believe that in 2016 the we are past that and it was just bad service. In short, THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE I EVER HAD AT A RESTAURANT! But everyone else seems to like it, so whatever…

Beer was cold but that was the extent of the quality of the place food cold and nasty mixed my food up with the couple next to me and said oops but you need to pay the tab in full no sorry just pay !!! Lol. Don’t stop here keep going to many good place In Clearwater I’m a local!!!

After reading the reviews I thought this place would be a great first stop in Clearwater. I was completely wrong. The food was extremely dry with no flavor. The bar wasn’t the cleanest, but not too bad. The fans were blowing so much I couldn’t keep my eyes open because my contacts got so dry. I wouldn’t recommend this place unless you are extremely hunger as we were.

We decided to find a BBQ place for the weekend near the beach. This place had good reviews, so we gave it a shot.
Looks like it would be a fun place to drink, but don’t go for the food. Waste of money. We tried most recommended items and it all tasted like pre-​made reheated or microwaved food.
This did not suit us.

Good food but absolutely horrible service. Customer service needs an upgrade as soon as possible

The ribs here are insane! We also had the pull and peel shrimp that was incredible too! Open late with live music. We really had a good time and were thinking about the food for the rest of vaction. Great find!

This is for sure a divey place but I like dives just not this one
It’s not the cleanest place for sure and the food is terrible I LOVE BBQ but this stuff is just warned up left overs that are dried out with no taste at all. The vegetables that came with it were not even edible all dried out and burnt.
I guess about the only positive thing I can say about this place was the beer was cold. There are a lots of pretty good restaurants in area try one of them and stay away from this place

Oh my word. The chef/​owner did us right on the buffalo shrimp. Gigantic. Breading nice. Homemade blue cheese dip exquisite. Ordered ‘mild’ and it was plenty hot. We’ll be back. Try the local beer IPA. We’ll be back! Debbie was our waitress — a sweetheart of a server. —- Okay, we came back for more. The jerk beef sandwich was fine but oh, my the Sampler Platter 2 was a great choice. if like me you are not prepared to like ‘fish dip’ suspend your doubt for this. Smoked, mild and yummy. Also came with about 6 shrimp for peel and eat, 4 wings and 4 ribs. Everything was great but ribs pulled into lead. Sauces were great but not needed. This spot is a gem. Good service again too. Is there a 5+ rating? If so, we’d give it.

We wanted to do something different and this place certainly fit the bill for us!
The open air restaurant and bar is north of where many of the casual tourists wander. Therefore, only the hardcore tourists and locals come here. In fact, you get a 15% discount if you can prove you are local via your ID!
As for entertainment, it abounds! The karaōke is quite amusing, with a plethora of talented or blitzed or both cane-​wielding octogenarians belting out show tunes, classics from the 50’s, or anything else that comes up. Luckily, the lyrics are displayed in large print for the eyesight impaired or cataract afflicted.
Surprisingly, the food was actually quite tasty. BBQ chicken can often be dried out but this was nicely done. The coleslaw was also excellent. Our jerk wings appetizer was flavorful, once we finally got them for dessert. If there is a next time, I will order extra celery since two paltry pieces didn’t do it for me.
The best part, of course, were the drinks. Served in plastic cups, the straight up vodka pour was generous and very much appreciated.
Finally, the service was friendly and professional considering the busy barmaid both handled the bar and the entire dining room. She really did fine although she forgot part of our order. I often hate it when busy servers don’t write down your order to demonstrate their awesome memory skills and then forget half of it. I’m not saying I could do better but I do know my short term memory limitations. Do you?

I was surprised by the food here. We stayed in a rental house across the park from here. We noticed the live music on Tuesday night and were intrigued. We decided to eat lunch here. Our food was good.
Service was iffy. The bartender was our server. They changed shift while we were there and the first one told us she was leaving once she brought out our food. The person assigned to us was scatterbrained. She was slacking at the bar and with our table.

in paradise drinking Coors sitting near the beach listening to Otis Reddings classic with my baby. its good 2 b here. 12.28.14

I wanna like this place especially since it’s close to where I do my weekly workout – plus when I pass by there’s often some GOOD LIVE MUSIC– but there’s enough things that bother me. The only reason I swallowed everything here was because I was starving from playing all day at the beach (which is a very short walk away) and the PRICES WERE GOOD. Other than that – I wouldn’t be eating here. I’m getting BAD VIBES FROM THE SERVICE especially. On a busy evening the manager was clearly trying to make nice-​nice with all the visitors but I NEVER SAW HIM TRY AND HELP out the ONE SERVER WHO was doing everything! – bartending and serving. Yo man – if your employees don’t look like they want to be there… pssh.
The food was ai’ight. The manager told us they get new BBQ twice a week (or something like that) and kept telling us how everything was fresh fresh fresh. That didn’t stop the cook from completely cooking ALL THE JUICES OUT of our BURGERS, WINGS, AND SANDWICHES. The results were a bit TOUGHER to chew, FLAVORLESS, and almost hidden under all the veggies, buns or spices (probably in an effort to disguise the meat).

DECENT FOOD AT DECENT PRICES
Compared to high-​priced/​decent food along Clearwater Beach at least this one is decent price/​decent food. While our loaded Nachos came with a good amount of Cheese, Salsa, and Sour Cream, they really skimped on the regular ingredients like Lettuce, Olives, and Jalapenos. It almost seemed sad. My Jerk Wings were dry-​rubbed… and VERY dry. Without even eating it you could feel its texture getting ready to disintegrate into charcoal. You NEEDED to dip it in the accompanying Jerk Sauce to moisten it up.
SERVICE BLEEEEEEH
Upon entry the owner (?) was insanely friendly and even offered us happy hour prices although it was 30 mins past. Later he was partying loudly with a group of his friends at one of the tables – it was just strange to see especially since the one server (who was also the bartender) was obviously overworked during a decently busy evening. The young blonde didn’t look happy to be there and never checked on my party again once our food dropped. We wrangled her 30 mins AFTER we finished eating to remind her we wanted our checks.
BEACH SURROUNDINGS IN CALMER AREA
Beach Fyre’s location away from the busier section surrounding the Pier is still good – parking is easier in this area and it’s just one block from the beach sand. The décor is sports and beach catchy and colorful. Even the live music had some great talent. The food and drinks alone are not enough to bring someone here – but for the prices and location I guess it’s worth revisiting.

This was the perfect place to grab a bite to eat while at Clearwater beach! While laying on the beach we got hungry so decided to go on a walk to this place. It wasn’t that long and all the houses you pass on the way are gorgeous. It is such a nice chill place and has that perfect beachy feel considering it’s by the beach. It was so cozy and I’m glad we didn’t get seafood or something else that would have been overpriced.
We ordered the pulled pork sandwiches and fries and the portions were huge! The sandwich was so big I could barely eat the fries. It was easily the best pulled pork I’ve ever had. It had so much flavor and the bread went really well with it too. I really loved this place and had a great time.

While I can’t cement on the food, I can tell you that this is a nice local spot. The bartenders are friendly and the entertainment is hit or miss. I say this because others have said they enjoyed the entertainment buy on my visit Friday it was karaōke night and it was so loud that we had to yell at each other while sitting at the bar. Of course, the people singing should stick to singing in their showers at home!
I gave it 4 stars because I had a good time and didn’t think it would be fair to rate it less since I didn’t try their food.

5 stars for value, taste, and atmosphere. Cool little open-​air beach place with amazing BBQ, live music and karaōke. We had the shrimp tacos and pit beef sandwich with BBQ and tiger sauce. Grilled veggies also were a winner. If you like spicy BBQ, try the lava sauce.
We saw the biggest order of nachos ever here, if that sort of thing is your bag.

My god this was some good stuff. My pit beef sandwich was stacked high with tender, juicy beef. For 6 freaking dollars! My wife’s shrimp tacos were loaded with succulent grilled shrimp and bacon. The Maryland crab soup was wonderful. I’m coming back for lunch tomorrow.
