“ Visited on vacation from Phoenix. Now called hogg daddy. Food was great and staff was attentive and very friendly. We ate here twice and will again on our next visit to clearwater beach. ”
“ Gerstle’s has a great atmosphere with welcoming staff. The Bar offers a walk up exterior bar, interior bar, outside (dog friendly), and inside seating. The drinks were good and the food was great. Pictured are the fried pickles, kids cheeseburger, and fish & chips. ”
“ I'm so happy we found this gem. Great food ..only downside is they seem understaffed so wait time to order is slow . ”
“ Gerstle’s has been our favorite go-to restaurant/bar since they have opened. They have live music almost every night with the exception of Trivia Tuesdays (which is super fun). The happy hour is great! It runs from 11am to 7pm everyday and every beer (and seltzer) they have is 3.00 for 16 oz. Anything from a delicious craft IPA to your regular light beers. You can’t beat it! The food is fantastic! Our favorites are the Turkey Club, grouper sandwich, grouper tacos, shrimp tacos, calamari and fried pickles. I personally think the grouper sandwich is the best on the beach. More than all of that, it’s just a great place to hang out. The entire team of bartenders- Jasmine, Jaclyn, Al, Brooke, Scott, Phil and Danielle are fantastic. Mike the manager has to be one of the nicest people you will meet. Even the kitchen staff greet you with a smile and make it a point to make you feel welcome. The restaurant itself is quite large and is great for larger parties, and the bar has plenty of seating inside and outside. Put it on your list of places to visit when you come to CWB, just make sure you leave two seats open for us ”
