Gulf Drive Cafe

900 Gulf Dr N, Holmes Beach, FL

★★★★3.8(3,434 Google reviews)

Crema's Take

Perched right on Holmes Beach with unobstructed gulf views, this open-air tiki-style spot excels at crafting creative specialty drinks and hosting memorable sunset moments, whether you're catching live music or settling in with friends and family. The casual, beachy vibe and pet-friendly atmosphere make it an ideal gathering place, though opinions on the food are notably mixed—stick with the drinks and the view, which locals consistently praise as genuinely magical.

My wife and I both ordered a fried shrimp entree for $28 which was bad enough only to be served generic level prefab out of the box shrimp and frozen generic fries. No restaurant that is literally feet from the gulf should be serving boxed shrimp. Wait staff confirmed that it was prefab. The food has always just been meh at this place. View is nice though.

We had a magical sunset evening at the Gulf Drive Cafe . We asked for a table just at the beach line. The view was spectacular with gorgeous fire reds and pinks as the sun set on a shimmering gulf . Madison our server was attentive and very sweet. We also met Voula who greeted us like family! My sister in law ordered the food which was really very good with an array of fish bites and a platter that included some Greek traditional items .

Fun & casual place to eat or drink and have a wonderful beach view. Pet friendly as I brought Lucy & Ethel in their stroller. Building looks like a large tiki hut, open air. Lots of TVs to watch any game. Very friendly staff. Nice beer options.

Definitely a place you want to visit when you're at holmes beach. The drinks are wonderful and the food was great. They have live music, and the ocean views are fantastic. A great place to go, have drinks and enjoy the ocean views.
