Salt Rock Grill is a legendary beach landmark that has a burning passion for delectable food, enticing drink and pleasurable surroundings. Known for our hand cut U.S.D.A prime and choice grade beef, fresh dayboat caught seafood, raw bar and amazing wine cellar. Salt Rock Grill is the perfect choice for an evening of fine dining, superior service and genuine hospitality. Located in Indian Shores overlooking the inter-coastal waterway, Salt Rock Grill is your destination. Salt Rock Grill is the perfect location to host your next corporate event, wedding, social soiree or holiday party.
All of our Steaks are hand cut U.S.D.A. Prime or Choice Grade Beef from top midwestern feeders. We age them four to six weeks in our in-house temperature controlled aging room to develop maximum flavor and tenderness. Then we grill them over our natural oak and citrus wood fire pit. You won't find a better steak. Our chefs have developed partnerships with local fisherman and companies that provided us with fresh dayboat caught seafood selections from our gulf waters and beyond. See our fishing fleet unloading daily on our docks.
Wine is a very integral component to the Salt Rock Grill dining experience. We continually strive to maintain a diverse selection of both popular well-known wines as well as many that have very limited availability and particularly eclectic appeal. We are proud that our wine list has maintained its status as a Wine Spectator "award of excellence" list.
Salt Rock Grill is the perfect location to host your next corporate event, wedding, social soiree or holiday party. We have several semi-private areas and an outside deck. Located directly on the intercoastal waterway, Salt Rock Grill is a must see! Please contact our events manager at office@saltrockgrill.com to inquire about availability and for group menus.

Originally a New Yorker from Rochester, Chef Tom grew up in Kenilworth, Illinois and is proud to tell you he's the only kid from the town who still wears an apron to work. Tom's culinary life began in New York City, where he worked as a brigade apprentice chef in a Manhattan hotel. He spent numerous years in Europe working and traveling during the 70's. After stops in London, Holland, Germany, Morocco, Switzerland and France, he ended up with his own very popular establishment in Mallorca, Spain - Tom's A Raconteur. He was traveling over 300 days a year before he decided to settle down in the NE section of St. Petersburg, FL in 1989. In 1997 Chef Tom Pritchard and Baystar Restaurant Group owner, Frank Chivas, opened up Salt Rock Grill where Tom was the Executive Chef.
