Frenchy's Rockaway Grill
Six Frenchy's restaurants are scattered around Clearwater Beach, with Frenchy's Rockaway Grill being the largest. Stop in after a day of fun in the sun for open-air dining right on the beautiful white sands of Clearwater Beach with tasty eats, energetic vibes and good times.
Fresh Seafood and Refreshing DrinksWith its close proximity to the Gulf, Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill serves up fresh seafood including their famous grouper sandwiches, calamari, she-crab soup and other Floribbean-style (Floridian and Caribbean) dishes.
Start your meal with baked oysters Rockaway, topped with bacon and cheese sauce, or the smoked fish spread, which is one of the dishes that put Frenchy’s on the map. Next, enjoy main dishes like the Cajun fish tacos, Caribbean jerk chicken sandwich or seared tuna salad. The stellar sunset views go hand in hand with one of Frenchy’s signature drinks, like a refreshing Rum Runner, Mai Tai or Flip Flop Margarita on the rocks.
Live Music on the BeachEach day, Frenchy’s Rockaway Grill features live music from local artists including The Kingpin Band, the Eric & Eric Duo and Brian Caudill. Jam to sweet tunes, grab a refreshing drink at one of the two large bars and show off your dance moves.

Guest Reviews
Had an amazing lunch and loved every second of it! I loved digging my toes in the sand while I ate! It wasn’t crazy busy. We sat outside and there was a nice breeze. The food was good. I did try one of their drinks. I can’t remember the name but it had pineapple vodka, pineapple juice and something else and I wasn’t impressed. It didn’t taste like pineapple juice, maybe it was a cocktail or maybe it was bad. But other than that, our experience was great and I would absolutely go back and plan to!
OVERALL A 3 OUT OF 5 . Had the Coconut Shrimp along with there Tuna Avocado which were both good meals. The price wasn't bad more the meals the garlic mashed was okay felt it was too much garlic that was over powering. The mixed fruit wasn't bad . The volcanic sauce was good to go with the coconut Shrimp. The toasted tuna with avocado was good. Not bad by any means . Ill Def be back to try another menu item. Overall not bad but I felt something was missing overall .
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Phenomenal Beachside Vibe & Must-Try Grouper! If you are looking for a fantastic, family-friendly beach venue with an upbeat crowd of young beachgoers and families, this is a jack-of-all-trades spot. You literally get to sit and watch the sunset right from your table! Coming from D.C., I found the prices to be incredibly reasonable for such a prime waterfront locale. 🍽️ WHAT WE ORDERED: Grouper Salad: A very generous, good-sized piece of fresh fish with a great, decent salad. Grouper Entree vs. Mahi Mahi: Hands down, the grouper was far better than the mahi! Highly recommend ordering the grouper here. Key Lime Pie: A must-try dessert! Supposedly made using a beloved recipe perfected by the same person for 25 years. It is fantastic. 💁♂️ IMPECCABLE SERVICE: The absolute highlight of our night was our server, Francis. One of the members of our party was feeling sick, and Francis went completely above and beyond—keeping the drinks and fluids flowing seamlessly to help nurse him back to health. Truly top-notch, elite hospitality. Whether you're stopping by for the incredible sunset views or the fresh seafood, this place delivers. Ask for Francis
Wonderful atmosphere as soon as you walk in! Lauren our server was so amazing and on point! She was very forthcoming with her favorites and they definitely didn’t disappoint! The fish pretzel was a cool thing to see and it was delicious too! Our drinks were cold and went down smoothly! Definitely will return when we’re back in Florida!!
Very nice atmosphere here! I’ve been there on Memorial Day weekend and around 7pm on a Saturday and stay on the patio for the sunset which was amazing. The food are delicious as well. Service is awesome. We had a 30min waiting line to get the table, but you can monitor the line live on the phone.
