50 Best Seafood Restaurants near Gulfport

“We love O’Maddy’s! We have been coming here since our son attended Eckerd College and we keep coming back. Food is always awesome. Johnny J. was our server today and what is not to love…his smile, personality, and genuineness is appreciated. He is great with kids, too! His recommendations were spot on…the shrimp Plummers style was so good! Cheese steak in a wrap and Cobb salad were delicious! We cannot recommend O’Maddy’s enough! Go!“

“I am anxious to try this restaurant. I heard they have a new server who is the best!!!,“

“Four of us came for lunch; only one of our party ordered seafood, which is what they mostly have. That same person also was the only one to order an alcoholic drink. My pulled pork sandwich was a great disappointment. The pulled pork didn't even cover the bottom part of the bread, very skimpy serving. What there was good, but mostly it was the taste of the bread that I experienced. Service was slow. Didn't see many ordering meals as we did, but many did enjoy the bar the libations there. If you go for seafood, you will probably enjoy this restaurant. Fortunately, it wasn't hot yet.“

“Signature Smoked Wings (Delicious!) Smoked right out back at Mullet's daily. Try the Dry Rub, House Merman Sauce, Signature Dirté sauce, or Classic Buffalo. Served with house-made ranch or blue cheese.“

“Have been curious about this restaurant and we finally gave it a try. The food was delicious and our waiter Jamie was awesome! They now have two loyal customers!“

“75th Trip-Around-the-Sun for my husband. Party of 16 seated to celebrate. The birthday boy has the Mango Nut Crusted Grouper (Fresh Florida Grouper crusted with macadamia, pistachio, and walnuts with a Mango Beurre Blanc & coconut basmati rice.) The atmosphere was inviting - our locals enjoyed the signature dishes and the menu selections, and our out-of-town family was impressed the location, food and service.“

“Great atmosphere Mahi Tacos exceptional lot of wait staff to help with your needs“

“Really enjoyed the food..ask for Kelly. She did a great job and took the time to explain the difference between the menu items. Would recommend the Nachos. My kids fought me for them. It was my meal and even 1/2 was more than enough. Try it out!!“

“Tha clam chowder was perfect….hot till the last bite…..loaded with clams and potatoes. Thick and creamy and reasonable price. The fried clams were the tastiest ever. Perfectly fried, tender, flavorful, and a hearty portion and reasonable price.“

“Looking for seafood in St Pete Beach? This is the place. You will not be disappointed. Service was 5 stars, too. Lots of character and casual.“

“We ate here 2 nights while staying on the beach this week. The hummus and flatbread along with their house salad for a starter was sooo good. The coconut shrimp was good and the coconut curry snapper was the best fish I have ever tasted and I grew up in Florida. The dish is not sweet and the flavor is amazing along with fish cooked perfect. Don’t hesitate to eat here it was our best meal when in St Pete Beach. Thanks Snappers we will be back!“

“Have loved this place for years….great reasonably priced food, quick friendly service and a great atmosphere! Go at least once a month.“

“Amazing service and excellent food! Steph was an absolute pleasure to be served by!“

“Excellent food and service plus very affordable prices! The paella, shrimp+grits and shrimp+pasta were all delicious. However, it was the curry shrimp+rice and the ceviche that were the show stoppers. The curry sauce was absolutely incredible! And the trio of ceviche were so unique and delicious. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Megan the Bartender is Awesome! Great Service! Great Drinks! I’m a local restaurant manager and I approve!! Thanks Megan!! You rock!!“

“Best Blackened Grouper Sandwich ever!! Onion Rings were also fantastic. Look forward to visiting again.“

“Amazing food and great spot to sit outside and enjoy live music when they have on the weekends“

“Highly recommend this awesome local spot! The service was great, the food was amazing, and the prices were incredibly fair. The trout was only $15.95 and absolutely delicious, and the Mezzo Mezzo pasta was just as amazing. The crab looked so good that I'm already wishing I'd ordered it, but I was craving pasta! It's not right on the beach, but it's definitely worth the visit. Don't judge a book by its cover. This place is a hidden gem!“

“Came here with the family for a seafood dinner and we decided to go all in and get the Family Combo so everyone could just dig in and share. It came loaded with snow crab legs, shrimp, lobster tails, crawfish, black mussels, clams, sausage, corn, potatoes and eggs. Seeing that huge seafood spread hit the table definitely got everyone's attention lol. There was plenty of variety, so everyone had something they liked.

The seafood tasted fresh and everything soaked up the seasoning really well. The snow crab was tender and slightly sweet, the shrimp were juicy, and the lobster had that firm, buttery bite I always look forward to. I really enjoyed the mussels and clams too, especially after they had absorbed all that flavorful sauce at the bottom of the bag. Even the corn, potatoes and sausage were good because they picked up all those savory seafood flavors. Definitely one of those meals where you stop caring about making a mess and just enjoy it 😂

We had a great time as a family and honestly seafood boils are just more fun when everyone is sharing from the same spread. Staff was friendly, portions were generous and we all left completely stuffed and satisfied. Really enjoyable family meal overall and I'd happily come back whenever we're craving another big seafood feast.“

“Cheekys is Such a Fun Addition to the St Pete Central Area. The Atmosphere is Chill Vibes with Amazing Drinks and Food and a Nice Happy Hour as well. My Favorites are Their Smashburger, Oyster Shooters; Frozen Drinks and Martinis! If You Sit at the Bar and Happen to have Josh as Your Bartender then You are in for a Treat! He’s an Excellent Newbie to the Cheekys Team and One of the Best in St Pete. Many might Recognize Him from Previous Establishments but I am So Happy He is now at Cheekys! I will Def Be Back and Look Forward to Bringing Others with Me!“

“I love the Wharf, but I am frustrated that they stopped serving tater tots, because the fries they have now are horrible. They have no flavor and are soggy or over crunchy. Please bring back the tater tots or get some different fries to serve with the meals! I’m getting tired of eating slaw or paying an extra $8 for onion rings!!“

“Had lunch at Crabby Bill's today. Blackened grouper sandwich was fresh and tasty, onion rings were just right, and our waiter, Jaxon, was excellent. Always enjoy Crabby Bill's when we're in Florida.“

“4 of 5 Star review Came to Florida for my bachelorette trip and chose this place as the place I wanted to have a “nice dinner.” We had a reservation at 8pm. The bar messed up 2 of our 5 drinks, which the waitress had remade and apologized saying the got a rush. All the food (conch platter, seafood pasta, crab legs, 4oz filet, and fresh vegetable pasta) was yummy and came old hot and well seasoned, though the steak was overcooked (ordered medium) Would have been 5 stars, but our waitress took 40 minutes to simply get us our checks and run our cards😅“

“We enjoy the service, food, drinks and atmosphere! Love the margarita in paradise, really enjoy the breakfast and Eddie is always a great waiter!“

“I visited on March 25th around 5:30. Waitress had a scour on her face the whole time. Tipped her well never bothered to say thank you the food was good but I refuse to spend my money where I'm not appreciated.“

“I DO recommend the Casual Clam but PLEASE change the Bloody Mart mix! The 7's Bloody Mary SUCKS!“

“The Food Is ALWAYS Good &The Service Is Great‼️“

“The owner is very friendly the food is light and not a heavy buttery seasoning. It’s more like a boil with butter on the side. I enjoyed my snowcrab sausage, potatoes and shrimp. The only thing I would add is little more spice, but other than that, I enjoyed my food.“

“Great food and staff was extremely helpful“

“very good food not over seasoned“

“Seafood is hot, fresh, delicious and affordable. Great flavors, and the garlic butter is my favorite.“
