Restaurants in Indian Rocks Beach

Does anyone know which restaurants in Indian Rocks Beach are reopened after the two hurricanes?

Great question. According to recent local reporting, several restaurants on Indian Rocks Beach (IRB) have reopened after storm damage, though not all are back to full capacity or regular hours. Here’s a rundown of what’s open and what the recovery situation looks like for dining:

Local Restaurants in Indian Rocks Beach – Current Status:

  • Crabby Bill’s (IRB) – Yes, Crabby Bill’s has reopened, though reports note that its hours are still limited.
  • Coco’s Crush Bar & Grill – Located at 2405 Gulf Blvd in IRB. Listed in the current IRB dining directory, so it's operating.
  • Guppy’s on the Beach – Also listed in the IRB restaurant directory for seafood and casual dining.
  • Groupers on the Gulf – A casual family-style spot at 1401 Gulf Blvd listed among the dining options.
  • Indian Rocks Café Deli & Market – Good for breakfast / lunch, smoothies, coffee — listed as open.
  • Monstah Lobstah IRB – According to the neighborhood newsletter, this lobster / seafood spot opened in November 2024 (rebranded from JD’s Restaurant & Lounge).
  • Greek Village Café – The Greek Village restaurant relocated and reopened at 12199 Indian Rocks Road, with a limited menu currently.

Restaurants That Did *Not* Reopen or Are Closed:

  • Slyce Pizza – Unfortunately, Slyce Indian Rocks Beach has decided *not* to reopen, per a community newsletter.

Recovery Context & Dining Challenges:

  • Many local restaurants are still recovering following hurricane damage.
  • Some beach access points remain closed due to erosion, which could affect foot traffic.
  • There is a large dune-restoration project underway in IRB (especially mid-island) that is affecting businesses and beach access.

Bottom Line: As of now, yes — many of the key restaurants in Indian Rocks Beach have reopened, including Crabby Bill’s, Coco’s Crush, Guppy’s, and others. However, some places, like Slyce Pizza, remain closed. Recovery is still a work in progress, especially on the beach access and erosion fronts, but dining locally is definitely feasible and very much appreciated by the community.
