It is a small place so with a bit of luck you won't have to wait - but I eat here often because it is priced less then other choices - IHOP comes to mind. Look for the bright yellow place with the 2.99 breakfast sign - next to Mandalay Grill - across street from Hilton. Here you will find... more

We have been visiting Clearwater for years. The Beach Shanty is always the first place we stop...great food, great service, great value! You will not find a better place for breakfast or lunch. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The menu is excellent. more

This is the best value for money in Clearwater. We ate breakfast here twice and the bill was under $10, including drinks. Just look for the $2.99 sign in the window and you will not be disappointed. Its buzzing with good service, friendly waiters and really good, right opposite the Hilton Hotel. more

My wife and I had breakfast at the Beach Shanty. When we arrived around 9:30 AM on a Saturday, the place was hopping. I had the Shanty special omlette - loaded with everything; it was very good. Service was excellent. The manager/owner was friendly. I would go here again. more

This is probably the cheapest food place in whole Clearwater beach, but you get what you paid for - we had lunch and breakfast there. Both were not frills. Breakfast portions were pretty inexpensive , but small. French toast my wife ordered was service cold. Western omelet barely had anything in it. Saying that, this is probably one of very... more

We are a family of 4 and ate here for about $37.00 w/o tip for Breakfast . The selection was decent and it was convienant to the Hilton. The food was a little bland. It is very small and they are not the nicest people. They wanted to seat you fast and get you out. They were nice to locals,... more

dont waste your money having breakfast at the Hilton across the street. Have breakfast at the BEACH SHANTY CAFE. My boyfriend and I were staying at the Hilton across the street when we saw a sign that said $2.99 breakfast. A little hesitant at first because you cant see the inside from the outside and you see the $2.99 breakfast... more

This is the best bang for your buck in Clearwater. We ate breakfast here twice and the bill was under $10, including beverages. My daughter and I thought it reminded us of 'Luke's' in the Gilmore Girls. The egg sandwiches are awesome. They keep your coffee cup full at all times and make you feel right at home. more

This is a great cafe right across from the hotel I was staying at... discovered it a few years ago when at my beach house....Great little breakfasts, tasty omelettes, and not bad lunches either!!! You must try this little "niche" cafe across from the Hilton on Mandalay, you won't regret it!!!!! more

Ate a great, inexpensive breakfast. Good variety of menu items made fresh right behind the counter. The place was busy, but everyone there was friendly. Just like a nieghborhood cafe at home. more
