Ryan's Island Cafe — Restaurant in Clearwater

I had the most wonderful dining experience at Ryan’s Island Cafe. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy ambiance. The menu was a delightful mix of flavors and cuisines, making it hard to choose just one dish. I ended up trying the Tony’s sandwich and my husband tried the Mike’s sandwich and it exceeded all expectations. The presentation was impeccable, and the taste was simply exquisite - a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. Our waitress, Steph, was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food they served. They were more than happy to accommodate dietary restrictions and make recommendations based on personal preferences. It's evident that the chefs and the entire team put a lot of thought and care into crafting each dish.

The attention to detail extended to the restaurant's decor as well. The elegant yet cozy design created a relaxing atmosphere that added to the overall dining experience. The attention paid to every aspect, from the table settings to the lighting, truly set this place apart.

I can't wait to return to Ryan’s Island Cafe and explore more of their menu. This is definitely a gem worth visiting again and again. If you're looking for a culinary journey that combines exceptional flavors, impeccable service, and a welcoming ambiance, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Ryan’s...

The place:

This place has the best breakfast in the Clearwater beach area and I’m not just saying that. It’s a small cafe that gives you that small town vibe where everyone knows your name…and they do take time remember you. Upon entering your are greeted my the sweetest hostess and I wish I could remember her name for a shout out but she’s the real GOAT. Stephanie and Jennie took care of us and we’re never short on the excellent service or the ice coffee refills (I highly recommend).

The food: Their Eggs Benedict has sky rocketed to the top of my personal food favorites list. One of my most sought after breakfasts but I am usually left disappointed. This was in no way the case for Ryan’s as his culinary skills brought us back daily during our trip and I will forever recommend this place to anyone visiting the area. From the croissants to the French toast nothing was less than excellent. The biscuits and gravy are a definite must that will fill you up with the generous serving sizes. If you like mimosas then they’ve got you covered…no light pours and half off on Monday’s.

Overall: Ryan and his staff were amazing with their welcoming smiles. We will definitely be returning on our next trip down. If your looking for a great breakfast spot then look no further. Until next time keep doing...

What to say about Ryan's Island Cafe?

This is an amazing restaurant, from the decoration, to the service, from the food quality, to the presentation, and the location.

The owner (what do you think his name is?) makes it a point to walk around and greet several customers and ask about their experience, he's also no afraid to run items to the tables and you can see how all the staff communicates so well, and it starts from the top, so kudos to him and the great team!

The Eggs Benedict are one of my favorite egg dishes of all time so I make it a point to try them at each breakfast restaurant I visit. The Athena's Benedict is a must!

The breakfast croissant is out of this world and the flavor in the eggs is surprising.

The pancakes are great too, and can be eaten by themselves, but feel free to butter them up or add syrup or honey.

Regarding the prices, they're very reasonable, I would just make sure to disclose if you have an upcharge for honey, it never hurts to say so the customer can choose.

The coffee is bold and strong and they have the coolest shot glasses for...
