Tin Can Cafe

We were in town on vacation and thankfully found this place on Unilocal.We arrived on Saturday morning around 8:30 and didn’t wait more than 10 minutes for a table. Yes, this place is small, but it feels cozy, not crowded (mainly since I think because people waiting for tables have to wait outside since there is no room inside for them). I wish I had gotten the name of our server, since she was great. Food was fantastic. We got eggs, French toast, chocolate chip pancakes, bacon and home fries. All were a hit. No kids menu, but our server was more than accommodating to offer us one pancake or one piece of French toast (which wasn’t listed as a menu choice).
Food came out hot, fresh and quickly. Since the place was so small (about 10 tables total) I would have thought we would have been rushed out and I didn’t feel that at all.
Wouldn’t hesitate to come back here again if I was in the area.

Food is always good, and cheap for the ampunt, staff is extremely nice, and although there is sometimes a wait it is never long, always satisfied with eating there and it’s hard to not be with the high quality of service, and food

This was our first visit to the Tin Can Café. Loved the small quirky room and the mugs. My biscuits and gravy was great. Also liked that scrapple was a special. Since I get scrapple at home I went with the biscuits. Wife had the waffles which was good but would have preferred fresh strawberries. Service was great. We will definitely be back.

Cute little place. It was next to our hotel so we walked over. Below average pricing, above average food, and amazing service. Everyone was friendly and really gives you that local breakfast spot feel. We plan to visit again

Absolutely amazing breakfast options and friendly staff. A must go for fans of that small time feel and meal options.

It’s been 3 and a half years since my review here and Tin Can STILL has the best breakfast anywhere. I travel frequently and I judge all my breakfast meals against Tin Can and very, very few even come close.

Friendly atmosphere, really good food! Loved this place! Ended up meeting people from 4 tables while eating. Very attentive service, coffee refilled without asking. Family owned.

Only 3 stars for me because my order was wrong. Which is why I never order anything to go, that and I always feel I am shorted on food. My family’s order was correct and they seem to have liked it. Other than the fact that I’m on vacation and bit cooking everyone’s did to order, it was just ok. The more I write the less stars I want to give it. Something positive, the people were friendly. Had a nice conversation with a local couple.

We were in the downtown Clearwater area, and this little family owned restaurant popped up on my Unilocal app. I probably have passed this place hundreds of times without noticing it, so it was nice to find.
It’s a very small and simple restaurant with a pretty big breakfast/​brunch menu. There isn’t much room inside, so I can see it being crowded during peak times. The staff was friendly and quick, though the food did take a little longer to come out even though it wasn’t as busy. Though, the food along with the fresh coffee was delicious which is why I’m giving it four stars instead of three.
If you’re driving by the downtown Clearwater area and are hungry, stop in for a bite here, you won’t be disappointed.

Steak and eggs is all I can say!!!

Nice little tiny spot to go to for a quick bite. This place is slammed most of the times; so expect to wait for a seat. The food is great. The taste always feels like home cooking. The place is small but the taste is big. Try the steak and eggs with home fries; you’ll thank me later. Check them out and say «Chubby sent me.» :)

While on vacation we have been here twice (so far) … We stopped on our way in and were shocked at how amazing this place was. The man that set us was very friendly so we got an instant good vibe. We got three coffees and all came out in different mugs (my fiancé knew this would win me over… My obsession with mugs is probably unhealthy) so seeing the whole restaurant with different mugs I was in heaven.
Our cups never went empty. Coffee and water. If it wasn’t our server taking care of us it was the guy that seated us or another server. Our food was great! We had omelets. Waffles. Taters… Eggs… All good. The waffle came out covered in strawberries and a lot of whipped cream … The second time I got one of the breakfast ham bowl things and it was amazing! The place is small but only one time we had to wait about 10 minutes. The walls are covered in tin cans and it was neat to look around to see if you have ever had one or seen them before. For me I saw one and got instantly excited because I remembered having it at my house as a child and we kept coins in it so that was an extra bonus!
Go here!!! You won’t be disappointed!!! Great food and even better staff!!!

Great place– thanks to Unilocalers for the recommendation. Simple, no frills, breakfast and lunch spot. The server was so nice and genuinely attentive and pleasant. The prices are great and the food quality excellent, which explains why it gets full. I just had a scrambled egg dish and was given a choice of home fries, hash browns etc. when I ordered the home fries which the server mentioned and had not seen on the menu, he told me they took a little longer. He stopped by again to refill my drink and said the home fries were almost ready. I was embarrassed when they came out and took up an entire second plate! They were delicious, as were the eggs nicely prepared. More embarrassing was the cost of less than $ 5.
I wish I remembered the server’s name because he was great! Highly recommend.

We found this little diner while visiting the area. It was a great brunch spot! Definitely a good, non touristy, place to eat.

Yummmm! Landed in Tampa and got on Unilocal and Tin Can Café was highly rated, so my husband and I thought let’s go for it. Glad we did! Awesome down home breakfast! Cheap, big portions and delicious. I had the spinach & feta omelet and home fries. Man, it was good. Get the home fries!!! Great service. Right off of South Myrtle drive just up from Clearwater Beach. Looks like a little hole in the wall — well, it is — but those are typically best spots and this is that!

It’s a small, simple old school type restaurant. We stopped in on our way to the car rental. There was a wait for a table so we sat at the bar, which was roomy enough. The staff was very friendly, which I added another star for.
The menu was basic brunch, nothing that stood out. I got the three cheese omelet and my bf got the steak and eggs skillet. He loved the skillet. My omelet was average, got some toast and fries on the side. Portion size was huge, price was decent.
Like I said, it’s basic and simple place. But there’s nothing wrong with that. If your in the area then it’s worth a stop in but I def wouldn’t go out of my way for it.

I’ll probably hate myself for writing this review lol — as the place is already so popular that oftentimes there is a wait to be seated, but I’ve been coming here for breakfast a couple of times a month for several years so, here we go… If you want THE BEST breakfast in Clearwater, this is the place to come!
The staff is ALWAYS friendly and very courteous. I almost always get the 10 oz Steak & Eggs for breakfast (hmm, probably going to have to stop by there tomorrow again) and it is the BEST deal in town. They have always cooked it to perfection and the steak comes pre-​trimmed, so what you are getting is a full 10 oz of completely edible deliciousness. Hardly any fat, no bones, just steak!

Tin can is a small café located in a small building in Clearwater, going towards Dunedin. It is often always packed, and they do not have very much seating. However this place is a good little place to get breakfast.
I often find myself wanting to eat breakfast heading this way, and this place always tends to pop into my mind. They have something called The Tin Can Wild, which is 2 eggs, 2 bacon, 2 sausage, and either 2 french toast or 2 pancakes for $ 6.49, which I think is a fair price. It is pretty good. You cannot really mess up breakfast food.
I have also tried their breakfast skillets and I would have to agree with the other reviews that it is greasy and lacks a lot of flavor.
The waiter and waitress that is often in here is very personable, and they always are talking to the regulars which is nice.
If you find yourself towards this way, and wanting some breakfast, give this place a try for yourself.

I haven’t been here in years. And I’ve been wanting to stop in on numerous occasions but just never could find the time. On this day I could squeeze out about 20 minutes to stop in for a quick breakfast. The place was full of course, but there were a few seats empty up at the bar.
I ordered a country skillet with two eggs over medium. Ham, onions, and peppers served over home fries, with the two fried eggs on top.
I’ve got to say I was disappointed. While flavorful there was far to much grease at the bottom of the skillet for me to enjoy the whole skillet.

Great food, huge portions and reasonable prices. You’re not going to leave hungry from this place! Service is excellent all around.
