Joined with a partner to purchase the original Surf Shack Coastal Kitchen in the Westchase area of Tampa, FL. Our second location opened on famous St Armand's Circle in Sarasota in December, 2014 with the Surf Shack concept on the ground floor and The Terrace at Surf Shack on the second floor featuring roof top dining overlooking the beautiful St. Armands Circle and a nightclub/piano bar. We are a fun, casual surf themed concept open for lunch and dinner with two full bars with entertainment nightly. We are famous for our gourmet tacos with nine different varieties that are trendy, prepared fresh to order with house made sauces and your choice of a casual ambiance at the Surf Shack or a more contemporary atmosphere on The Terrace.
