PETE & SHORTY'S – American
Casual tavern on Gulf to Bay Boulevard in Clearwater channeling an unlikely muse: the Iowa bistro. Hand-pressed, char-grilled 100% ground chuck burgers headline — the all-day $10 Monday Pete Burger special is legend — beside Midwest treasures like pork tenderloin sandwiches and loose-meat sandwiches, with a Friday fish fry of Alaskan pollock, shoestrings, and slaw. Open daily 11 to 10 with delivery available. It suits transplanted Midwesterners misting up over tenderloins, budget-savvy burger regulars, Friday fish-fry faithful, and anyone curious what Iowa tastes like in Florida.
