Clearwater, Florida
Pinellas County · 690 restaurants
Clearwater's dining scene is split between two worlds: the tourist-heavy Clearwater Beach, consistently ranked among America's best beaches, and the more residential mainland city. The beach area's restaurants cater to the millions of annual visitors with Gulf-front seafood and casual beach bars, while mainland Clearwater offers a quieter, more locally focused dining experience across its 570+ establishments.
Data on this page
InspectFL turns public DBPR inspection records into city-level score trends, grade breakdowns, and restaurant history so this page is useful for comparison, not just a list of names.
How to use this city page
Start with the citywide grade mix, then use filters to narrow by category, grade, or inspection dates before opening the full restaurant record.
What the citywide data means
Clearwater has a heavier concentration of failing restaurants than you’d want, which makes recent inspection history and dispositions especially important.

Important context for city pages
City pages are comparison tools built from public Florida DBPR inspection data. They help surface local patterns quickly, but they are not official government rankings and they should not replace reading the individual restaurant page before making a decision.
