My husband and I have a weekend house on the beach within walking distance of Waltz and until recently we had not dined there because of local rumors about the “blond frizzy haired lady” and what she might do to one’s food if one rubs her the wrong way. I had also heard from many neighbors that the service was... more

We spent the day at John's Pass in March 2009. We were at Don's Dock across the street, so we decided to have lunch at Walt'z Fish Shack. We are a family of four, Mom, Dad, 4-year-old and 1-year-old. Our 1-year-old was in a stroller... heaven forbid! We were immediately confronted by a blonde, frizzy haired lady (she was mentioned... more

Notice how all the good reviews come from locals. That's because they don't get treated the way toursists are. Walking in the door, the hostile blonde behind the bar/seating hostess, repeated 3 times that they are a seafood place. For the record I'm not deaf. Our party of four was slapped with a 18% gratuity after a so so meal... more

There is no better seafood place in the Tampa Bay area and we've taried a lot of places!!!!! Their food is sooo flavorful and fresh!! We absolutely love it and go there as often as possible. Although, you need to understand they serve quality seafood, that's all the specialize in so don't expect pizza or burgers on their menu!!! more

The conch chowder is spicy and flavorful. Fish chowder is available on occasion. Fish spread we had last week was amberjack and cobia - served with slices of celery, carrot, variety... more

This place has the best sea Food I have ever ate in my life! My wife wanted Sea food on our Vacation (our vacation home is Clearwater). I wanted a Steak. The locals refered this place to us. I like the laid back atmospher. I thought the chalk board menu was cool. I was kinda shocked at there not being... more

Have you and five friends ever been dining and after 48 minutes from sitting down, been handed the bill and asked to vacate your table? That's exactly what happened to us on Thursday evening. The service was fine and the seafood was good. Our total bill was $184.00 (including an 18% grat.) Oh, and by the way we were told,... more

I eat here often and have consistently found the menu to be flavorful and unique with a variety of grouper dishes along with a multitude of locally caught fish such as hogfish and snapper. The menu changes based upon what is fresh so you're always guaranteed to have a great meal and great tasting fish. I personally enjoy the grouper... more

We have been coming to Madeira Beach for ten years and have enjoyed the various eating establishments - learning where to go or not go for meals. With the change in a local restaurant's ownership, we decided to try Waltz since the cook there began elsewhere in the "village". If this is typical of Key West eating places, I just... more
