    After a long day of traveling, my husband and I had an excellent time at Badfins. We were able to grab a drink from the bar while we waited for a table (15-20 minute wait). Our server, Rea, was sweet and efficient given that it was a busy night. I loved the nachos and boujee quesadilla, and the drinks were AMAZING. We tried several between the two of us, and they were all wonderful. The live music was top notch. Prices are quite reasonable as well! 10/10 would recommend.

    Great atmosphere and food was on point. Short rib tacos were so good and the tuna taco was great too. Better drink/beer menu than most places in the area and a friendly accommodating staff will for sure have us back here again this trip! Highly recommend Badfins while visiting Clearwater. Great location and views too. Ask for Jesse, he was a great server. #bebad

    Just plain amazing. We did a 25 minute detour to come here. There was a surprise live show, amazing food, excellent draft craft beer and drinks, and the staff were so great with the kids (their food came super quick! And they had cute little take home glasses). Thank you to Emily for over the moon service and making us feel like we were back home on Canada.

    This is a great place to step away from the beach and grab some great food! It's family-friendly (kids menu offered) and the patio seating gives a great view of the beach (and sunset if you go around dinner time!) Our food tasted amazing and our waiter was helpful and kind. Definitely suggest the "That's what she said" sangria and lobster mac & cheese. So yummy!

    Beer was great, got the maple bacon porter and finished 2 glasses of it. Ordered the sweet tuna tacos and the grouper tacos. They were good, not the best ive ever had but definitely got the job done. Atmosphere was top tier and would definitely come here again for the vibes if not the food. Also the waitress Sara was very nice and top of things. Give her a raise. Recommend the Florida grouper nugz, they were top tier.

    This place started our evening with feeling full and happy after receiving some of the best customer service we had in a long time. Food was great and our waiter "Andres" made ours and our kids experience the best. I highly recommend this place even with kids, we will return!

    Came in to eat and discovered this is one of the best places to get super heady craft beer. Amazing selection from local and beyond. Food was really good too! Jessie our wonderful server was very knowledgeable about the beer selections. He is also a great conversationalist! Very cool guy and great at his job. Highly recommend.

    We enjoyed our drinks, appetizer (their chicharrones didn’t last long once placed in front of us), and our dinner was AMAZING! We ordered the tacos which were delicious! Sonja, our server was friendly and attentive. The service was quick. Highly recommend after a day in the sun!

    The food was adequate, the service was good. The atmosphere was great. It was the evening, so you can feel the breeze from the surf. It had a Spanish edge, but still attempted to be a fusion. The live music was great. I will come again for beer and music, but not the food. The prices were astronomical for what you got.

    Food and service is excellent. We were told there would be a 30 minute wait and were texted to return within 2 minutes! Our servers Alicia and Serena were attentive and knowledgeable, helping us with beverage selections (34 drafts to choose from!). The lobster and gulf shrimp roll was delicious! I was not expecting full shrimp on the sandwich. Will definitely return the next time we're here to escape the cold weather!

    Great beach side outdoor seating restaurant with delicious food and good service. View is good by the beach though u can't have a direct view from the dining area. Priced appropriately. Good portions. I'd say Mexican cuisine. Live music is definitely a plus but a bit loud depending on where u sit. Do try the Big A** bowl cocktails but I won't vouch for them. Maybe I'll stick to traditional cocktails next time. They have a big beer menu. I didn't have any, so, no comments. Restrooms are clean. Overall a good experience.

    My wife picked the place on the fly. The flavors, the brews, the nachos were fire. I had the surf and turf tacos- first time having a fish like taco and I must say I loved it! My wife had the El Pastor tacos and loved them. The atmosphere is fun and they had live music with a very entertaining DJ. You have to visit if you are in Clearwater!

    We had a great experience here. The views are stunning. First time but not our last. The food, Service, and Atmosphere were amazing. The price was reasonable. This will be our go-to beach restaurant when Clearwater Beach.

  • 3/5 Greg S. 7 months ago on Google
    Cool outdoor seating with live music. The food was just ok. Our waitress wasn't very attentive. (I.e. she brings water, no straws, no napkins, and our table is sticky and nasty. I finally got up to get some napkins from the inside, and then the waitress brought napkins. Duh! The meat in the tacos was cold, and after a 2nd attempt, we returned the taco dish. Don't bother with their signature pineapple drink. This looks cute, but very watery. We walked to a neighboring restaurant and ordered pizza.

    I love the environment because there’s live entertainment and the cool breeze from the beach. The food was alright, but the service was phenomenal. The waitress checked up on us to refill our drinks and making sure our food came out perfect. It’s a good place to hang out after the beach.

    Erica was super friendly, attentive and smiling! She gave great advice on beer and food selections. The atmosphere was fun on a Wednesday night with live music and a lively crowd. We much enjoyed guac, bowls and salads with steak.

    I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. They are ALWAYS packed. Now I see why! I went with some local favorites. Started with ahi tostadas, followed by the florida 🦞 sandwich! Loved both. Nice cold dishes perfect for the hot weather. Both items were fresh and delish! My server J was fantastic! Hope to return soon!

    The variety of local craft beers is seriously next level incredible. Our server, Emily, is so helpful, quick, and sweet. The entire atmosphere here is just the best. I think we’ll have to make this spot officially our new regular.

    My sons and I were looking for a bite on the beach and Badfins looked like the spot. We ordered lobster mac and cheese and it was amazing 🤩 the square grouper dandelion was alright it was well made im just a more adventurous eater perhaps and was something that was more, after having the lobster 🦞 mac and cheese I was hoping the tajin grouper would be more but it was good in all fairness. We also ordered the fruity pebble shake and chocolate Reeses shake. Michigan did not have any free peppers on it so I'm not sure if it normally comes with us, but it was very good and my son loved the chocolate Reeses shake. Our server was on point with everything I forgot her name but she knew everything about the menu and was super kind to my littles. There was a huge wind storm the had us run right after our meal but we will be back, FYI there isnt am inside so if it rains heavily you can crowed under the screened in portion but we were on the patio so we had to go but the food was great, service was great and I cant waot to go back with my husband to try the drinks

    Badfins food and brew is a fantastic place to enjoy delicious food and refreshing beer. The menu is diverse and offers a wide range of options to satisfy any craving. Everything is prepared with fresh ingredients and cooked to perfection. The beer selection is also impressive, with a variety of craft beers on tap and in bottles. Whether you prefer a light lager or a hoppy IPA, there is something for everyone. The atmosphere at Badfins is relaxed and welcoming, making it the perfect spot to catch up with friends or enjoy a meal with family. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that every customer has a great experience. Overall, I highly recommend Badfins food and brew for anyone looking for great food, beer, and a fun atmosphere. It's a must-visit spot for locals and tourists alike!

    This place was fun! We had a really good experience here and our waitress was amazing. Especially considering it was towards the end of the day. They had live music which was nice but we didn’t go for the live music. We started with the Trifecta which was amazing! I got a chocolate shake which was also very good. It was a little thinner consistency than some shakes which I liked. She got the Off The Hook drink which was ridiculous. We both got a good buzz off of it for sure. Luckily the hotel was within close walking distance… This place is just the whole package. I really liked the atmosphere, music, style, and food. By the way, their menu is not up to date with Google so I took a couple pics. I’m not sure when it was updated last but I had already planned on what I would eat and it was nothing like the previous menu.

    Stumbled across this place while checking out Clear Water beach. It was really good! The food was great and the beer selection makes me wish I lived closer so I could try them all! Our server was attentive and friendly and she was working a decent size group at the same time and didn't miss a beat. We live on the east cost of Florida so being back isn't out of the question! We'll definitely go again next time we're in the area!

  • 5/5 Lazaro C. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing food and amazing views!!! Our food was so tasty and fresh. Additionally our Server (Sonja) was very patient and friendly. She was very honest and attentive to our mixed group needs. Drinks where refreshing for our hot summer day and food was just the right hint of sweet, spicy and delicious!!! Love this place and sure you will too!!!

  • 5/5 Desirae M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere! Open air seating, protected with a patio, and warmed by heaters from the winter chill. Live music and TVs to keep up on sports. I had the Turquoise Turtle cocktail, and it was very tasty. I recommend it if you like toasted coconut. The the sweet tuna tacos hit the spot, more tuna than I expected for a taco! Everyone else really enjoyed their food as well and we had a great time. Our server, Natalie, was friendly and attentive. Stop in if you're in Clearwater.

  • 5/5 Katie C. 1 year ago on Google
    Came here after a long day at work and being on an airplane. This place was just what we needed. It has a great selection of beer, food, and killer shakes. Our server, Emily, was A+++ attentive and friendly. We’re here for 4 more nights and will probably come back. Definitely suggest the Bougie Steak Quesadilla and the Cinnamon Toast Crunch shake.

  • 5/5 Hasan R. 2 years ago on Google
    Great spot right across from Clearwater Beach. I stopped by here 2x today, once in the afternoon as we were lazing at the beach and felt hungry (we got the tacos as a light lunch option), and then again when we needed dinner after Captain Memo's 4pm cruise (this time we got the Mexiphilly steak sandwich and the Mexicaesar salad with shrimp). All the entrees were delicious, but what I really appreciated was the service. The bartender and server were super helpful in helping me pick up a local beer flight, as well as offering good options for our 2 year old. Great location and good value.
