  Surfside has an enormous selection of draft beers. Moreover, these are all mostly world-famous beers that you are looking for. Aaaaand they have happy hour drafts too!
  
  Greatly appreciate the dude who was live singing that night, you can easily tell he is one of these guys who love what they do! He setup some really good mood!
  
  Service was great, our server Deanna (hopefully, it's correct, that what check reads, because I forgot) was super nice; although she said kitchen was in appetizer-only mode, later on she managed to make us a flatbread. Refills were also on time.
  
  Food was great, the flatbread was crispy, the tomatoes they used were ripe and flavorful, and the cheese was melted to perfection. Mozarella Sticks appeared to be just MASSIVE. I mean they're HUGE, I'll attach the photo with Iphone X for scale. They were really good too; but I would melt them a little bit more before serving; because of their thickness, cheese somewhat melted, but was still partially firm.
  
  The one thing I can't understand is pricing. It's just little weird to me. $11 for these huge Mozarella Sticks is all fine, especially taking their location into consideration. However, about 7" flatbread for $13 ?! This is little odd, and I mean probably won't make much sense for the place to make it $8-9, so maybe you can bring the size to like 10-11" instead...
  
  In either way, Surfside was one of few places on the strip open really late and it was a nice place to visit. Thank you guys!

  Place seems to need a good cleaning. Smelled around bar area like the bar mats hadn't been sanitized in awhile.
  
  Quick spot for a beer with a good selection however a bit pricey. A lot of other better options in the area that smell better and look much cleaner!

  We are staying across the street from this restaurant for a week and are absolutely exhausted from a long day so we decided to order carry out.
  
  The menu is big and sounds amazing. We ordered French onion soup, pretzel sticks, fried pickles, a fruit cup and the blackened chicken pasta.
  
  Order was placed and was ready to pickup pretty quickly (about 20 minutes)
  
  The French onion soup was not that great. It wasn't super flavorful, the croutons were already added to the soup so they were soggy and gross by the time I got it and they literally threw a round piece of deli cheese on the top of it. The container of soup also didn't have a lid on it, but some Saran Wrap.
  
  The pretzel sticks with beer cheese were actually really good, and the cheese was amazing. It was the perfect combo of beer to cheese ratio. I was quite impressed.
  
  Fried pickles were ok. My kids who love pickles, and fried pickles wouldn't touch them because they looked like fried boogers. Can't say they were wrong.
  
  Husband got the blackened chicken pasta. He said the flavor was ok but he was pissed that we payed $20 for a small serving of spicy Ragu Flavored Alfredo sauce. It came with a side of toast and it seriously looked like they only gave him half a portion. His pasta did come with a side salad.
  
  Fruit cup looks good, and we will try it in the morning.
  
  All in all, I'd probably go there for drinks and not eat. This place is obviously overpriced for the drunk out of town people who don't know better about the food.
  
  Might go for breakfast to see if that's more of their specialty

  I give this place 3 stars mainly because of how bad and over priced the burger was. Very dry, over cooked, and bland. If your going to charge $14 for a burger at least throw some fries in with it... the zzzangers meltdown was excellent, very tender juicy chicken, would recommend. Also tried out the lobster corn dogs, they were decent, basically tasted like a deviled crab stuffed corn dog, probably would not re-order though. I can see being on Clearwater beach why you would charge more for certain things, so putting price aside and judging food by taste... solid 3 star.

  Yesterday, Sunday, we had a lovely blonde wait on us at the bar.  She was about to depart on vacation.  She was great!  Her service was great!  Our Cuban sandwich was great!
  Cut to today.  We stopped back in to get a drink and a snack.  Our excitement was immediately killed by the A-D-D Jersey Shore bartender who was putting all attention in a couple of girls and ignoring everyone at the bar.  He never offered a menu and eventually I had to flag him down for one and he finally gave me one.  When we decided what we wanted, I stared at him forever and he never looked at me so we could give our order.  After 15 minutes of zero contact, we decided to head to another place.  We came for drinks and food, he could care less.
