RUSTY BELLIE'S WATERFRONT GRILL – Seafood
Family-owned working-waterfront grill on the Anclote River in Tarpon Springs, running fresh Florida seafood from our boats to your bellies, per the house line. The fleet's own catch lands at the restaurant, outdoor bar, and the Pelican Point seafood market next door, with catering, take-out, gift shop, and waitlist reservations behind. It suits Anclote sunset dinners, boat-to-table literalists, market-stop regulars taking fish home, and Tarpon locals who trust a grill that owns its own hulls. Digital and physical gift cards send the river home with visitors.
