Salt Rock Grill sits right on Gulf Boulevard in Indian Shores, offering a relaxed yet refined waterfront dining experience that effortlessly blends its identity as a seafood restaurant, steakhouse, and bar. With sweeping views of the bay that guests can enjoy from spacious decks and well-placed window tables, it’s a spot that naturally invites longer, lingering meals—especially during sunset or when the full moon lights up the water.

The menu offers a balanced combination of fresh seafood and hearty steaks, providing options for both those who want to indulge in coastal flavors and others craving a classic steakhouse cut. Locals tend to lean into the restaurant’s strengths with starters like Key Lime Oysters and escargot that bring a subtle regional twist, pairing nicely with the house or Caesar salads to start. For mains, you’ll find everything from a bone-in ribeye to delicate tuna sashimi, making it a versatile choice for different cravings or special occasions.

Atmosphere-wise, it strikes a nice balance between casual and polished. The decks overlooking the water create a laid-back vibe that’s perfect for happy hour or a casual supper club meal, where you can watch dolphins play if you’re lucky. Inside, attentive service adds to the nighttime experience, which fits well for date nights or small group dinners. The tiki bar Fridays appear to be a favorite among locals looking to unwind with expertly crafted cocktails alongside laid-back, waterfront views.

This spot works well for couples, small groups, and families alike—there’s enough variety on the menu to satisfy different age ranges, and kid-friendly dishes like chicken tenders show Salt Rock pays attention to that diversity. Portions, especially on desserts like the Key Lime Pie and banana bread pudding, come generous, which local diners appreciate after a thoughtfully paced meal.

Timing a visit around sunset or weekend evenings can enhance the experience, especially when the views and the bar scene combine into a lively yet soothing waterfront atmosphere. Overall, Salt Rock Grill feels like a place where locals come for both reliable quality and the right dose of coastal charm without pretense.

Second date night here! Great table by the window with a view of the bay and the full moon. Wow! We had decided on the filet mignon earlier in the day and absolutely loved it! Sides were brussel sprouts and asparagus - yum! Highly recommend the Key Lime Oysters appetizer and the fresh baked bread with olive oil and spices. Finally, ordered the zero-proof Blackbery Ginger Spark and a bottle of Saratoga Sparkling water and enjoyed sparkling water with my own measured infusion. Great night! We'll be back!

My husband and I just ordered dessert and we're not disappointed. The Key Lime Pie and Banana Bread Pudding were amazing and the serving sizes were bigger than anticipated for the price. Our server Shane was also amazing and made sure we were all taken care of! We will definitely be back for a true dinner and more pie

Now one of my favorite restaurants in the area. Tables on decks overlooking the water with views of dolphins playing. Great "supper club" or happy hour specials on meals and drinks and son loved his food too. He liked his chicken tenders and fries and loved the sourdough bread served pre-meal. I agreed the bread is yummy. Supper club meals are $25 and include a salad, an entree, and a small dessert. Well drinks were $5 and wine $6. My baked scallops and garlic mashed potatoes were very tasty just wish the portion size for scallops was a bit bigger. My wife had the pork chop and thought it was cooked perfectly and it was quite large! When we finished we noticed every table in the whole restaurant was full so were happy we went early as seating was easy then. Will definitely be back as food was great, setting is great and our server, Jessica, was very good too.

Outstanding Dining Experience! I wish I had found this place sooner! We had the best experience at Salt Rock Grill — the food, atmosphere, and service were absolutely top-notch. Every detail was perfect, from the best sangria I’ve ever had to the delicious apple cobbler for dessert. They’re known for their fresh seafood and perfectly cooked steaks, and everything we ordered exceeded expectations. It’s the kind of place where you’ll want to dress up a little and really enjoy the evening. A great tip: if you’re seated before 5:30 PM, you can take advantage of their early bird specials with fantastic pricing on meals and drinks. This restaurant has easily become my new favorite — I can’t wait to go back!

We have immense loyalty for Salt Rock Grill! Their consistent excellence truly stands out! Reliability is fundamental to our dining experiences. The tiki bar on Friday nights consistently meets and exceeds our expectations. Emily and Kenny's delightful cocktails, combined with their exceptional service and engaging interactions, along with the serene ambiance of the intercostal setting, complete with lights and warmth, make every date night with them truly special. The seating arrangement is always adequate, and despite the crowds, they quickly acknowledge and serve us our favorite drinks. We love you guys! Happy Holidays!

Where do I even begin? The atmosphere is very pleasant, with the option to dine indoors or on the terrace. The food is delicious and full of flavor, and the service was excellent. We were taken care of by Sean, who provided outstanding service and spot-on recommendations. I 100% recommend it We ordered: • Appetizer: Seafood Cocktail Veracruz • Main: Fresh Grouper Cheeks Piccata with gratin potatoes & NY Strip with garlic mashed potatoes • Dessert: Fresh Strawberries for dessert

We had a fantastic dinner for two here in late November, right after we eloped on Pass-A-Grille that afternoon. We had Jason as a server. He was witty & friendly, and checked in on us often. We had raw oysters as an appetizer and both ordered the fresh catch of the day. We finished everything on our plates! I also enjoyed the Key Lime Pie Martini & Espresso Martini....yummy. I had read some bad reviews but decided to try it for ourselves, and I'm glad we did.

Very nice, fresh food. Strong drinks and wonderful ambiance. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. We were 2 people. Complementary bread and olive oil dip. 1 beer, 1 cocktail. 1 appetizer to share. 2 soup and sandwiches. $110 before tip. Only thing that was strange is that a massive section at the front of the restaurant was closed off, causing a 20-45 min wait for everyone to be sat, on a Sunday 6pm..at least 4 hostesses wandered around in circles for about 20 minutes, calling numbers...trying to find any manager to ask them if they can seat us at ANY of the 10+ empty tables, and nobodywas availableto assist. Finally, a wonderful waterfront table came available on the patio..so we were lucky. Perhaps a staffing issue. Anyway, it was delicious.
