Blackbeard's Grub & Grog - American restaurant in Tarpon Springs - 80 W Live Oak St, USA

Very disappointed, although we came for breakfast because others recommended such in their reviews. Perhaps they were having an off day, although as a customer that's not my problem. Our server was great. He was attentive and understood our needs. No issues whatsoever with him. The chef on the other hand, has a lot of explaining to do. I ordered a Croque Madame with over medium eggs and a side of bacon. My wife ordered a Greek omelette with home fries. When the meal arrived, my wife received grits instead of home fries, although neither of us ordered grits. The grits were congealed like leftover rice, not at all like the typical consistency you'd expect. They came with a jelly that was quite tasty, however. My eggs were so runny they still seemed somewhat raw, definitely not over medium. The omelette was very thin, but edible. I received home fries with my meal, although I hadn't ordered them. (Even if it was a simple plating mix-up with me getting my wife's home fries, neither of us ordered grits so that doesn't make sense anyway.) The bacon I ordered on the side looked like it had survived a post apocalyptic nuclear winter. It appeared to have been smashed down on a griddle to reheat it and ended up being burnt to an almost grayish black in some places, suggesting that it was likely reheated from something cooked previously (maybe not even that day, who knows?). Also, one of the main things we were hoping for with our breakfast was coffee, yet although they boasted a breakfast menu, they did not carry any decaf at all.

Such a fun restaurant in Tarpon Springs. The food was great, actually ate here twice in a week! Drinks were priced great. Bonus for us was the fun kids corner with coloring books, chalkboard and kids even got involved in Karaoke one night!

Very Good Food. My Grandson had the Cuban With Chips. My Daughter had the Chicken Fingers Meal. My wife had the French Dip with Fries and Cheese Sauce and I had the Peel and eat Shrimp with homemade Cocktail Sauce.. Everything was delicious. ( I sampled them all). Great Pirate and Sponge Theme going on. Very Cool!

Delicious food but best part by far was service!! Jordan was phenomenal 🤩 She sat us and took our orders immediately. She was so friendly and had great answers and suggestions for my questions. Lovely person! Fantastic experience 😁

Great food and cool place! Went on Labor Day so it was mid day and pretty empty. Service was good and friendly. Only thing I will say, is it was a but slow but there was also only 2 people serving on a holiday so no worries. Definitely try it if you are in the area. 😁

Upon entering the restaurant, we were intrigued by its high rating of over 4 stars from 400+ reviews. When inquiring about the best dishes, a server enthusiastically shared her favorites, which convinced us to dine in. The food was exceptional, contrasting with the ambiance. We began with the delightful bang bang shrimp and refreshing drinks. Our children relished the grouper nuggets, while we indulged in the grouper topped with crab in a zesty lemon butter sauce – a dish so good that even the kids couldn't resist. For dessert, the kids opted for the chocolate cake, while we sampled the key lime pie and pineapple upside-down cake. Though tasty, the desserts didn't quite match the preceding dishes' excellence. Our server, Tyrone, was outstanding, offering a warm and welcoming dining experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place and look forward to returning soon.

Went for breakfast, wrong day which was a mistake on my part. The next mistake I made was almost leaving to go to another place. When I TELL YOU, I am so happy we stayed for lunch instead. The food was amazing. The service was great. The regular crowd felt similar to my usual local spot. I highly recommend coming here at anytime to enjoy the games, company, food and service. Very happy my Wednesday morning got a boost from this place!

Relaxed vibe, with a great menu. Seafood,stakes,and handheld sandwiches. Full bar. I had the fish spread,beet salad(awesome)and a Cuban. Will be back to try some more. Located down town sponge docks, so lots to explore on foot close by. Definitely check Blackbeards out.
