48 Best American Restaurants near Saint Petersburg Beach

“I usually visit this IHOP in the mornings during a smooth and busy island day. However, we came here after work with my family, and there was only one other customer. Our server, Angel, was fantastic. She ensured that everything was fresh and on point for servers. I had to share because when servers work on slow shifts, the quality can suffer, but not Angel. She maintained a high standard for both of her tables. A big shoutout to her! Additionally, she didn’t know we were regulars either. Thanks, we’ll definitely be back!“

“That Was Great ! Thank You Again 🙏🏼🌴🙏🏼“

“Chimichurri steak salad is a game changer“

“First time at coco wood and Ronda was our server. She gave us recommendations and let me say she hit the nail right on the head. Everything was so tasty and the quality was so fresh. Best I have had on these beaches in a long time. This will be our new spot to go to enjoy unique food and not just the same old stuff you can get anywhere.“

“The best bread pudding I have ever had in my life!! And the mac n cheese, yes please 🤤 The main courses were fantastic too and the artwork had good vibes. Did I mention the bread pudding?!“

“Their brunch menu is outstanding!!! Service is outstanding!!! Atmosphere is outstanding!!! Highly recommend!“

“Loving our stay here in a spacious suite. I have slept better here than I have in years! We had dinner out in the courtyard. The redfish was locally sourced and delicious. The soft shell crab was very good according to my friend. It’s a quirky place to stay, but very well run. Love the breakfast delivered in the morning.“

“Stayed here on an overnight, hadn't been in 10 years, and I had forgotten the quaint atmosphere of this place. Combined with good food and great friendly service, it's a great stop in St Petersburg whether you stay at the hotel or not. Some good daily specials, for both food and drink. Again came face to face with NAM (which stands for Not A Moose, from what I overheard! He's a caribou!) who overlooks the bar. This place is worth a visit if you've never been here!“

“Excellent food. Great service. Home fries are the best.“

“Wandered in for a drink before heading home on a late night and was so glad I did. Such a gem here! We got the espresso martini and the spicy martini and omg if I could drink them all night, trust me I would've. The atmosphere is good for a chill night, or a great date night spot. Will definitely be coming back to try some of their food!“

“only place I've found in St Pete with a real crepe...everything else has been excellent too“

“Best burger in town. Great vibe and we love the staff!“

“If you’re sleeping on Harvey’s, you’re missing out on a St. Pete legend. I waited waaaaay to long to visit! Service? Next level, they are super attentive and rad! Bacon cheeseburger? Dude, juicy, stacked, and unapologetically messy in all the right ways. But let’s talk about those onion rings—my god, the onion rings…Crispy, golden halos of fried perfection! Five 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘, ALL DAY!“

“The best restaurant on earth. It can't be done better. You could maybe do it differently but not better.

Perfect on every single course, elements of service. Amazing personable engaging staff.

Stellar pastry, baking, desserts.

Tuna sashimi with caviar and Osaka vinaigrette. Mind bending great.
Absolute perfection.

It's hard to get to. I had to fly to luxembourg. But I wish I could go again.

Cristian Bau is a god among chefs. And his staff are spectacular.

Every single detail was flawless. I am grateful that I was able to have this experience. It has left a watermark so high, I fear I'll never experience it again.“

“Warning: Tasting this burger will forever ruin your taste buds for any other burger, ever. Seriously. Oh, and their filet is divine. And the beef carpaccio is incredible!“

“love Cody's. Been coming here for years. Great food, good people and wonderful service.“

“Stopped here while door dashing in the area, smoker was going and good music was playing. When I went in the young lady behind the counter was very helpful and then Antonio came in to let me know it would be awhile before the ribs were done. I got a drink which Antonio poured Nicely and went outside to listen to the music. Once I got home I ate a rib and some potato salad and honey let me tell you, it made me do a lil happy dance. Highly recommend. I will be back.“

“Awesome menu with great food, fast service! Family favorite.“

“Delicious and gluten free if you’re into that kind of thing!“

“Great prices!!! Thanks“

“Pirates Pub is one of those places we come to every so often—and then we remember how good it is, which is exactly why we keep coming back. Cold beers, a great location, and a laid-back local vibe that never disappoints.

The food is consistently solid. The Pirate vs Burger was a standout—juicy, flavorful, and the fresh jalapeños gave it the perfect kick. We also had the clams in white wine sauce, and they were excellent: tender clams with a bright, savory sauce that was perfect for dipping. The fish dip is fresh and always a great start, too.

Service was great as well—Holly the bartender was kind, attentive, and made the experience even better. Reliable spot, great food, and a place we’ll keep coming back to.“

“Great local spot! Great food and bartenders!“

“Cute little diner, we sat at the counter. I had chicken and waffels and 2 bloodymarys. We loved watching the food coming straight out of the kitchen window. So much to choose from, you can't go wrong with any of them. Food was great, drinks were great. A little pricey but no more than you would spend at a bar for a few drinks....“

“Honestly not what I was expecting, but loved it nonetheless. We were waiting for a show to start and were looking for places to grab a bite a drinks prior. Looked on the map and found this little hidden gem. You walk in and order at the counter, grab a drink and pay. Definitely a locals place but I loved every minute of it. Live music was a plus. Cheese sticks were to die for“

“Looking for a kopper kitchen cookbook..email me if you have one mom3tlc“

“We rented the restaurant out for an engagement photography session, and the staff was very accommodating! The architecture was stunning. We can’t wait to go back!“

“The Hangar is the best ever. The service is courteous and friendly and the food is always fresh . I would definitely recommend this particular restaurant and location to any one“

“I love going ther. I want their last Saturday and I watched people who had their dogs bothering people. When was a big Great Dane like and it tried to eat the food off a guy's plate he was getting disgusted. The other dog was smaller but still a pain in the ass . People need to keep their dogs at home.“

“bright, clean, chic beachside/poolside bar! We had a blast playing ping-pong, they also have many other games too as well as a decent menu and drinks 😊“

“Our experience was amazing at the Postcard Inn! I had 10 girl friends come into town for my Bachelorette Party and this stay was perfect for our group! The rooms were comfortable and the hotel amenities made the trip a breeze! With a restaurant, bar, and coffee shop on site we didn’t have to go far to have a great time! The pool and cabana experience was just what we wanted!“

“Brittini and Mimi are the best! Such friendly servers and delicious food. Reasonable prices too. The fried green tomato BLT is incredible. We all said it was the best BLT we ever had. A+ would recommend this place if you’re staying at the RumFish. Great breakfast and lunch.“

“OMG!! You have to go to this tiny jewel of a restaurant. We brought in our fresh catch of Spanish Mackerel from our charter. (Must make arrangements ahead of time) Chef Chris surprised us with an unbelievable work of visual art food presentation and extraordinary flavor fusion!! The owner, Jim, is most accommodating. You also have meet Zoey, who’s outstanding wait skills and personality will have you smiling throughout the entire experience.“

“Was a 5 star now a 3. I've been coming here every Tuesday for 2 years and it's been an excellent experience. Since the change in servers/ personnel ,the service and experience has declined greatly. Our table waited 15 minutes for a server at 3:00. Katie (bartender) and Avery (server) are excellent and should work the bar area.“

“I have been living in this area for some time now. i finally decided to go to this restaurant. I got carry out for my wife and myself. everything that we ordered was delicious. the food was ready when I got there for pickup up as well. Very good we will definitely go back. 😁“

“We love Mango’s, the food, the staff, the view! We will miss it dearly!“

“Yes, we eat here often but I was disappointed by the dessert candy being so chopped up in my custard tonight that I cannot see it, bite a chunk of it or really taste it. It certainly was not scrumptious looking like the photo. Bummer. We will be back, no worries. But please don’t make dust of the toppings.“

“Everything was great ! I had shrimp dinner 🍽️ :)..“
