The Hungry Hiker Cafe — Restaurant in Clearwater

Good food, plenty of homemade ingredients and desserts, but portions are small, especially if you're hungry like a hiker!

Side salads were a good mix of fresh veggies, and the sandwiches were good. Especially enjoyed the homemade breads used. Portions were smaller than expected though, both the sandwiches and the sides of fries.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming, but service was a bit slow. One of the key ingredients of my sandwich was missing, and everyone else was done their meals by the time the dressing for my sandwich was brought out.

Lovely large shaded patio, a nice way to enjoy the fresh air. Some quiet music on the patio would help relieve some of the awkwardness between tables when there are only a couple tables seated outside.

Would go again and would recommend to others, just don't expect to leave...

In the winter its a place to escape the drive. In the summer you can cool off with ice cream or so I am told! I look for places like this to renew myself on long drives. I highly...

Breakfast was not good! 3 of the four of us ordered eggs, medium. One of us got them hard, one still slimy and one under done. The hash browns were burnt and inedible. The omelette was filled with giant cubes of ham but no cheese. Shortly after we ordered, the restaurant filled quickly and our amazing server, who was working alone could not keep up. She was run off her feet. There was only one cook and the food that passed out table looked worse than ours. The service was amazing despite the fact that there should have been at least 2 servers serving a restaurant...
