Brittany was an awesome server! She helped us getting some raw oysters when we thought they didn't have them. We went to the wrong restaurant and she checked with the kitchen. They accommodated us with some fresh raw oysters. Obviously this is something they couldn't do if they were busy but we went around 4pm and they were dead. This restaurant was right next to the water it was a beautiful view and not too hot.

My family and I came here for dinner Sunday evening. We were seated promptly despite there appearing to be a large crowd waiting. This is possibly because we were in a smaller party. The service was friendly and our waitress Kayla was informative about the dishes. We received complementary hush puppies after we were seated. I can't recall the name of their shrimp and grits dish. It's a newer one their menu that I'd recommend. The grits have a bit more texture then I'm used too, but they heated up very well as leftovers for a tasty and hearty breakfast the next morning. We also got mussels in garlic butter sauce for the table. This was very delicious. I'm not usually impressed by mussel dishes because I find the texture is a little tough. This time around it was tender and perfectly cooked. The house salad was absolutely delicious. It was a generous portion of mixed greens topped with sweet and tart green apple that provided a great texture. The goat cheese added a nice creamy element. The pecans were sweet and nutty. Every component of the salad went so well together! We arrived during happy hour, where they offered discounted alcohol beverages. Sadly, my pineapple no-hitjo (mocktail) was full price. It would've been more cost effective to buy alcohol instead, which as a disappointment. Overall, we enjoyed our meals! I'd recommend.

Looking for a cool spot for a casual lunch? This place has you covered with cold drinks and solid wings that are no joke! The Brussels sprouts are sure to impress, but the gumbo might need a little more freshness. Just a heads up, bring your own fan in July to keep cool while you munch away! #ChilledVibes #WittyEats

A must eat place if you're in Tarpon Springs! They have the best seafood dishes with options for everyone. I doubt there's a bad dish on their menu. Plus, the complimentary hush puppies at SO GOOD. You can eat inside or outside and both have a completely different feel. Very highly recommend!!

Great food, atmosphere and service. Bar service is also very experienced. Would definitely recommend.

Huge portions on the waterfront, Rusty Bellies hits the spot. Grab a reservation online and be ready to wait for tables to clear up (they might not seat you exactly on time, but the wait is well worth it). Vibes were absolutely there for great drinks and seafood options. The garlic mussels were the star appetizer at our table - I got the galilee which was good. The fried scallops were my favorite fried seafood in my platter. I personally wasn't a fan of the fried clam strips because the ratio of meat to batter was off, but the galilee was definitely tasty. I loved the coconut mojito! The drinks were huge. And the mojito was sweet which was divine. Some of the drinks come with some cool props (the Tiki drinks). We also capped our meal with a key lime cake which was really tasty. 100% would recommend if you have time and want seafood in the area!

It's a busy local family owned restaurant. Employees are very welcoming. Kevin our waiter was great. He's very personable. Has a great attitude. Loved his personality. Food is awesome. The amount each dish you have can actually be shared. We will be coming back. It's a little loud, but not too bad. Very clean place

I love this place and I've eaten here many times! My favorite entree has always been the EasyRider but I came this past Thursday specifically for the sushi and it was great. I will pause and say that we waited 2.5 hours to be seated when they told us it would be an hour but I love this place enough to wait and not make it a huge complaint in this review. The fish is some of the freshest you will get in the area and the options are endless. The cocktails are stiff and the service is good once you actually get seated. Just make sure you make a reservation. I asked for sushi recommendations from the server and she recommended the Miguel Roll, Long Gone and Birthday. All three were fresh and flavorful! Service was good and the complementary hush puppies are a delight. Enjoy!
