Ready to experience Salt Shack for yourself but not sure what to order? Here are a few fan favorites to help get you started.
Start With a Sip
There is no better way to cool off by the water than with a refreshing drink in hand.
Sip your way through signature favorites like the Salt Shack Goombay Smash, a tropical blend of rum, pineapple, and fresh-squeezed orange juice, or the Harbor-Side Orange Crush, made with fresh-squeezed orange juice and vodka.
For something with a little extra kick, try Uncle Jesse’s Spicy Cucumber Mule, made with cucumber vodka, muddled cucumber and jalapeño, fresh-squeezed lime juice, and ginger beer.
Whether you’re an adventurous drinker or prefer to stick to the classics like a mojito, margarita, or frozen piña colada, there’s always something for everyone at Salt Shack on the Bay.
Share Something to Start
Every great meal becomes that much greater when there is a tasty appetizer (or two) to start.
For a true taste of the Gulf, try out our Coconut Fried Shrimp, featuring large wild-caught shrimp hand-breaded in sweet coconut flakes and served with citrus mustard sauce.
If you’re looking for something on the lighter side, Gaspar’s Tuna Tartare combines tuna with avocado, seaweed salad, ginger soy, and wasabi aioli.
Want to try something a little more out of the ordinary? Give our Gator Bites a go, with lightly breaded fresh gator dusted with Shack seasoning and served with our house-made gator sauce.
With a variety of options to choose from, these starters are just the beginning of what you can enjoy when dining at waterfront restaurants in Tampa.
Dig Into the Main Event
When it comes time for the main course, there is no shortage of options to choose from. Keep things coastal with fresh seafood, shellfish, or our Catch of the Day, or dig into one of our handhelds and burgers for something a little heartier.
For something with a tropical twist, our tacos come together with fresh ingredients and tropical flavors, while our Land & Sea options include everything from Gulf shrimp and steak to grilled chicken.
With options for every appetite, finding your new favorite is all part of the experience of waterfront dining in Tampa.
Save Room for Something Sweet
If you saved a little room for dessert, we have a couple of sweet ways to finish your meal.
For a true taste of Florida, try our famous Key Lime Pie, a tart and refreshing island-style pie made with authentic citrus juice and a thick graham cracker crust.
Craving something a little richer? Our House-Made Rum Cake features walnuts baked into a golden Bundt cake and is finished with a sweet, warm butterscotch rum sauce.
Either way, ending on a sweet note is always a good idea.
