BEST GROUPER SAMMIE/BEST BEACH DIVE/BEST OUTDOOR DINING

Frenchy´s

Frenchy´s is one-stop Clearwater Beach shopping. You want the best grouper sandwich in a five-county area? Stop by the Original Café at 41 Baymont St. Looking for a smaller crowd and some frozen drinks? Frenchy´s Saltwater on Poinsettia Avenue and the new ¨South Beach¨ location on S. Gulfview Boulevard have that same Frenchy´s feel with half the lines. Want to feel the sand between your toes? Can´t beat Frenchy´s Rockaway Grill. A few steps from the beach, this beach dive boasts sensational views, fabulous she crab soup, live music on weekends, and a sandwich almost as good as the one at the Original. We can´t imagine Clearwater Beach without Frenchy´s, and if the expansion continues at the current pace, there won´t be a plot of sand in town that doesn´t have its own version.
