18 on the Rocks

The manager is a sweetheart! Our family had dinner here and everyone enjoyed it. See attached menu for options and prices (subject to change I'm sure but nice to know ahead of time). We enjoyed our food, service was good. The South side of the place and North side are completely different from each other. The North/restaurant side are great for family hangout. Southside /tiki side had patrons enjoying themselves which we found to be pretty smokey. Pick your crowd and sit accordingly.

Super great server! I was there with my 90 year old mother-in-law and he cleaned up the table right by the fireplace for her! We had mahi tacos, blackened mahi, and grilled grouper. All were prepared excellent. Wish I could go back today! Guess I have to wait until next years vacation.

This place is family oriented and great for the wonderful locals as well... my friend and I took a road trip from Chicago, Illinois to Florida. In tow we had 5 kids ranging from 14 years old to 4. We called prior to ask if children were allowed, the response we received was how many children? To then we replied 5. We were asked their ages we replied 1 toddler, 2 teenagers, and 2 pre-tweens. The answer we received was everyone is good except the teenagers... then the guy started to laugh. We were cracking up.
We arrive at place and half is boxed off for a more active bar and the other as a family oriented restaurant. Which I found great since it was spring break and there are some partiers out there and having the kids you had no commotion.
We are seated, greeted, and acknowledged. Our waitress was wonderfyl. We were accommodated with our children, I asked for a high chair just in case my 4 year old was fidgeting in her seat. We were even allowed to special order grilled cheese since that's what my 4 year old wanted. 😁
The menu and food selection is great. I ordered the surf and turf... the steak I ordered medium well. It melted in my mouth. It was flavorful and juicy tender. No A-1 needed. Hats off to the cook. The crab legs were coming out of the shell in one piece and they were sweet and juicy. I forgot I had butter.
We stepped outside to have a cigarette, yes they accommodate that as well. While outside I spoke with one of the waiters who was sweeping. He was such a people person I could have talked longer.
We were asked if we were the ones who called in earlier and replied with yes. Apparently Patrick, a next door local, was the guy who answered the phone when we called. We laughed so hard and my friend bought him a drink.
See, THIS is the sort of place you WANT to eat at while ON vacation. I live in Chicago, and I am already looking forward to going back.

Loved the Rocksters and 18 on the Rocks Burger. Killer desserts - Banana Chocolate Swirl Cake and Passion Fruit Cheesecake. Spot on recommendations and attentive service by Ryann. We'll be back!

Went a few times while on vacation. Awesome locals! Great bartenders! Had a great time wish I would have tried some of the food. The crab legs I saw looked amazing!!

Awesome Food, cold drinks and always good Service

Super fun beach spot. Best Key Lime Colada on the planet. And best of all there is an occasional whiff of bacon.

Great lunch! Tyler was awesome serving us. Very attentive and on-point with our needs. Order the wedge salad. Drink specials galore!

This place is awesome food is great and reasonably priced and the staff are excellent.

The food is superb, out of this world. Creative menu. Love the Rocksters, Pot Stickers and Buffalo Shrimp. The Surf and Turf, Steak and 1/2lb of Snow Crab is very good.
One of the highest rated restaurants/bars on the beach. A must try. Local owner Patrick Adani.
We believe in supporting small businesses as we're a small business too.

Dani was our server and she was absolutely amazing. We had a huge party of 16 and she was fantastic. Took her time and everything was right. The service she provided was phenomenal. We are visiting from Michigan and we will be back before we leave because of how pleasant she made our first visit here! The food was good, drinks were great, but service was the best. She cleaned as she went so there was never any dirty dishes on the table. She was so attentive! I highly recommend asking for her when you come here!

LOVE this open air beach bar! Nancy, one of the owners, is lovely! Be on the look-out for Hibiscus

Very pleasantly surprised by this place. Food was very good and reasonably priced. I had the Blackened mahi and buffalo shrimp. Outstanding. My sides were seasoned yellow rice and grilled veggies. Was so full and so delighted by my meal. The atmosphere was very laid back and comfortable. The place was clean and our server was professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice evening out. Liked the causal feel and the music inviting.

The service was awesome our server was Drew and what a great guy he came back and helped us with what ever we needed. The food especially the lobster bisque was to die for. The atmosphere was beautiful seeing the sunset from our table outside was great. Thanks again for this wonderful meal also the crab cakes were amazing. Thank you for this wonderful evening.

Went twice in 24 hours. The first night we ordered food to go, and not only was the bartender extremely pleasant, but as we were walking out the server holding the door was as equally as pleasant. The food was fantastic and very fresh. We then went the following day for lunch, ordered three appetizers and each of us got an entrée, and everything was phenomenal. The server was also very friendly and very attentive... I HIGHLY recommend this place..
Nice job “18”!!

We were a party of four with 1 handicapped ♿ person in our party. They sat us promptly and let us know they only had 1 cook working so our wait time might be a bit longer than usual. Patricia was our server and she was awesome! We asked her for her recommendations and they were spot on. Our group enjoyed the frozen lime margaritas and a strawberry margarita on the rocks that was the best one I've ever had!! We had the grilled shrimp wrap, fish and chips, blackened chicken pasta and a bacon and cheddar burger. All of our food was piping hot and tasted amazing. We will be back!!

On the last day of our family vacation, we stopped for lunch looking for hamburgers. The food was awesome. Fresh ingredients. Clean place. The person that seams to be in charge was placing decorations. Good price. And the server, Haley , could not have been nicer. It was a pleasant experience. Too bad we go back home tomorrow morning. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

We got married on Indian Rocks beach and our venue recommended 18 on the rocks. As soon as we walked in a patron bought our drinks. The staff and manager were super friendly and efficient. The hospitality definitely exceeded my expectations. Great food and service. Will have to return!

If you are in the Indian Rocks area you won't regret stopping here! The host and the wait staff were fantastic. They were welcoming and genuine. More places could benefit from teamwork like theirs. It was a casual atmosphere and the food was fantastic and plentiful. If you are looking for seafood or burgers this place will fit the bill.

Great place with fun atmosphere. The wings were cooked perfectly and not over done and dry. Be warned that the crab cakes actually do have filler and would not be considered lump crab meat by Maryland standards, nevertheless they taste pretty good. Servers were friendly and treated me like a local.
