COCO'S CRUSH BAR AND GRILL – Restaurant

Maryland crab cakes on a Florida beach is the trick Coco's Crush Bar and Grill pulls off at Clearwater Beach, where it runs two of its three coastal rooms. The kitchen leans Chesapeake: jumbo lump crab cakes, crab-stuffed mushrooms, a house crab dip, snow crab legs, grouper cheeks and gator bites, plus tacos, wings and burgers for the unconverted. Drinks carry equal weight, built around the orange crush poured with fresh-squeezed juice and a dozen fruit variations. Live music plays most nights, the seating is entirely open-air, shaded and casual. Come for the crushes; stay because the seafood genuinely delivers.
