Featured Dog-Friendly Place
Keegan's Seafood Grille - Indian Rocks Beach
Tucked away seafood gem? Check. Fresh-off-the-boat flavor? Double check. Dog-friendly patio with umbrella shade? Keegan's Seafood Grillein Indian Rocks Beach nails it all. 🐾🐟
It may sit in the back of an unassuming strip mall, but step onto Keegan’s porch and you’re greeted with coastal color, breezy umbrellas, and easygoing charm. This hidden gem proves that great seafood doesn’t need a flashy address — just fresh flavor, friendly vibes, and a patio where pups feel right at home.
Our ordering tip: start with a cup of She Crab Soup 🦀 or the lightly battered, fried, and finished with a house-made spicy aioli Shrimp Leones. 🔥 Then check the chalkboards for daily fresh-catch specials or snag a classic; we love the Blackened Grouper and Parmesan Encrusted Mahi-Mahi. Whatever you do, save room for their legendary Key Lime Pie, made in-house daily with a secret-recipe crust and real key limes. 🥧💚 Then pair it all with a cold local beer, glass of wine, or house-made sangria.
Whether fueling up for a puppy play session at the Indian Rocks Beach Dog Park or winding down with a relaxed dinner and your fur baby by your side, Keegan's delivers the kind of chill coastal experience that keeps us swimming back.
