50 Best Burger Restaurants near Saint Petersburg Beach

“We are on vacation at St. Pete's Beach and had breakfast at iHop today. We travel with our 7-year old who is autistic and I am always worried about wait times as she struggles in some situations. What was so lovely about this iHop location is that several employees greeted us when we walked in and, despite being busy, said "We'll be right with you." What a relief to know we had been seen and would be seated soon. Jennifer was our server and she was kind, professional, and efficient. We were quickly given beverages and our order was taken. The food came quickly and we were able to get out in a timely fashion.We have only eaten out as a family a handful of times. Jennifer couldn't have known that by looking at us, but I hope she sees this and knows how much it meant to us today. Her professionalism and attentiveness made it possible for us to enjoy a meal out together. I will be forever grateful.“

“The first time we ate at The Frog Pond we knew we would be back as regulars. Their homemade strawberry jam is fantastic - definitely ask for a side of that with your toast! The breakfast sausage is amazing as is their Eggs in a Pan dish. It’s by far my favorite thing on the menu. The staff and manager, Josh, are also fantastic. Always great service and they were so wonderful with our 2 year old every time we came in.“

“Just happened to drive by and see this place. The food was very good. The Clam Chowder was loaded with big pieces of clam which is unheard of because you usually only get tiny pieces. The shrimp were also cooked to perfection. Highly recommend!“

“What I can say about $5.50 beers and $6 loaded tots on Wednesday. And they have trivia night. This place is amazing and the servicers were knowable and attentive. Definitely going to here a lot and try a burger. Cool mix of people in a mind blowing setting with the cleanest beer lines in the Burg. They had my fav New Hampshire IPA on tap. Score.Parking: Spots were all taken before 5 but there was plenty of spots around the lake.“

“Today was my first visit to this restaurant and I could not have been more pleased! The food was amazing.....but the best part was Elijah! He is, without a doubt, the kindest person I have met in a very long time! If I'm in the area again I will absolutely eat here again!“

“Everything is good here. This is such an unassuming little tiki-hut style, open air restaurant (which is cool). Whoever is cooking is doing a GREAT job!! (Seared Ahi tuna, blackened snapper, fish sandwich..) And the staff is fun, laid back..nice people. Thanks, ladies!?? ?“

“We loved this place. We decided to play tourist for a day and stopped here for lunch. The drinks were amazing. So fun with the presentation and tasted refreshing. I definitely recommend the Saturn. We are the ahi tuna appetizer and it could've used more seasoning but it was still delicious. I had the pork sandwich and it was huge! My partner had the grouper tacos and he loved the wasabi aioli. We will be back for sure.“

“Amazing breakfast and great service !! Pancakes were light and fluffy with blueberry sauce and whipping cream! The bacon cheese omelette was fluffy and with real bacon and cheddar cheese! Awesome place to eat and the prices were very good. Under what you might expect from other restaurants in Treasure Island! Excellent !!“

“We were staying across the street and decided to give it a try. We really Enjoy ourselves. I had the French onion soup for an appetizer and the shrooms & swiss burger (substituted it with a veggie burger). It was realllyyyyy good! My boyfriend had the jalapeno poppers and the Black and Bleu Burger. He really enjoyed it too. We would definitely return if we were in the area again.Vegetarian options: Burger options: Veggie burger (no soy) or impossible burger“

“Ted Peters smoked salmon is as good as any I have had in my life. I am in my 70's and have been around a little, what a great place, nothing fancy just seriously good food, just as it has been for years in the same location and making great food the same way they have for years.“

“One of the best burgers I’ve had. The staff were friendly and the burgers are delicious. My friends and I had the BCB (double patty bacon cheeseburger) it’s so good! I hope that this restaurant becomes a chain, but until then, it’s worth the trip to St Pete. We’ll definitely be going back.“

“Stopped in and grabbed a drink before taking a helicopter tour. This is a cool bar showcasing wooden model airplanes hanging from the ceiling throughout the restaurant. The service was friendly and fast. Lots of seating available inside as well as on the patio. It overlooks the runway.“

“We came here late near closing time after a party this past Sat night Sun morning. Our server was very nice to us and gave us what we needed to the best of her abilities. She was even very professional about reminding us it was well past time the place was closed. A good experience. Hopefully next time we go it'll be well before they close.“

“Great food, the pizza is my favorite. Super friendly staff, it is a wait sometimes, especially on a Sunday last 2 hours of them being open.Parking: It is street parking. So keep in mind you may have to walk a bit if you have to park further away.“

“Andrew B. is an amazing bartender! Not only does he perform his job at the highest level, but he goes above and beyond to make every guest feel special. While sitting at the bar, I listened to several people just randomly talk about how he was their favorite bartender! I think that speaks VOLUMES! It is CLEAR he makes people feel welcomed, appreciated, and takes their experience to another level! He also provides entertainment I have not seen at other Applebee’s! ☺️“

“One of those amazing "hole in the wall" places that surprises the hell out of you. Friends invited me to meet them here for $2 burgers. I wasn't expecting much for $2, a place that has $2 burgers on Tuesdays or a small bar in a small strip plaza. Don't judge a book... The burgers were fantastic. The sweet potato tots were freaking delicious. Service was great. Have gone back a few times already and it's been just as good. It was even good when they had just opened the doors & there wasn't a soul in there but the owner. Definitely worth checking out. Apparently they have different specials every day but I'm stuck on $2 burger Tuesdays.“

“Honestly the best your going to find on the strip out here, atmosphere and price wise - super friendly even if you not a local. Get you some grouper, get you some snow crab and absolutely try the royal red strip ????Parking: Parking is in back it's tight but it's free otherwise across the street is public parking (for a cost) - if you can't find street or behind parking“

“Great experience! Drea was so nice and friendly. Delicious drinks and the coconut shrimp tacos were great. She also had great recommendations for the area.Dietary restrictions: Loved that they had a gluten free bun option! Also vegan burger.“

“Covers is one of the few places that you know for a fact you'll always get freshly prepared food. Everything is always hot and your orders are always right. I ordered the pretzel bites They were crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and the cheese sauce was amazing nothing tasted microwaved or reheated.“

“First, I'm a Fl native so I know good seafood when it's in my plate! I've been coming to Leverock's for over 30+ years, cause the food is always fresh and prepared wonderfully every time I eat there. Weather I want linguine or fried shrimp, it's always great. The staff is always going out on the limb to make you satisfied. Great atmosphere for your family and friends to dine in.“

“My mom and I come here every Sunday evening. We used to always bring my dog and the 3 of us would get cones every Sunday..Every time, Amaya(sorry if I spelled that wrong) makes it a point to come say “hi” and she always ensures everything is perfect. She even commented the first time we came after my dog died and noticed we were only ordering 2 cones…Her incredibly friendly demeanor and exceptional customer service are something you don’t see that often.You don’t find people in customer service like Amaya every day, and I hope her employers/franchise owners have taken notice..“

“Been hearing a lot of people brag about this place. So I tried it out and it was pretty good. The only thing I would suggest. I bought a double cheeseburger but they charge you for everything on it the lettuce tomatoes onions cheese. Instead of just charging more for the burger. Had a good experience Must try it out.“

“The manager at this location was very kind - initially we got fries that needed to be cooked a little more and he immediately apologized and made us new fries with some extra love ❤️ the place is extremely clean and everyone had warm smiles on their face! 100/10 made the hard day so much better :)“

“Brewery with full liquor bar and bar food. Staff is quick and a good mix of professional, quirky, and bar-veteran. Customers are on the 35+ side. All in all a place I can recommend as a stop for a few beers with your crew.The 4th Street Pils is pleasant but not quite as crisp (stalled fermentation, water chemistry?) as I like my Pils and I was missing the noble hops. The hazy IPA is juicy and as a style very forgiving but again I found it a bit too malty.The patio is surrounded by palms and the music is loud enough to drone out 4th Street.(Music was not my favorite at all)“

“UPDATE 2/12/2024 : I usually use the drive thru for a medium dipped in chocolate, or once and a while, a DQ Blizzard. Tonight, it is a little rainy and cooler, but I wanted some ice cream.I got a banana split. Have not had one in years. I went inside to order it. Natalie served me and provided me with great customer service. My Banana Split was out in a short timeIt was very good. I sat at a table, the tables were clean and well kept. The floors were clean. I saw no issues. Good Job! to the crew. Tell Diane "Hi" for me. Always great service when I stop by. Be back soon“

“Came in on Friday just before 5 pm and was pleasantly surprised at how quick we were able to get in and out. Uber Eats and DoorDash was super busy and orders were flying out the door.Our order was taken quickly, executed quickly and wrapped up within 5 to 8 minutes. Super impressed and the food was perfect and very hot. Five stars all around.“

“This is probably one of my favorite out of the way locations relatively close to home. With a large park, beach, with trails and picnic areas there are a lot of choices to do things or jsut to hang out. You used ot have to pay for entrance and parking at a booth when driving in, but now you can pay at machines in the parking lots or use an app. When you drive in the road splits off, to the right iot gfoes to the north beaches and to the left it goes to east beach. I'd rather NOT tell you how nice the beach is as I like it to stay relatively crowdfree if possible... Its clean here with bathrooms and other amenities that will keep you comfortable. Notably, cerain beachses didn't seem to have lifeguards so that's something to consider But otherwise, you can spend a LOT of time here by yourself or with friends/family and enjoy the natural beauty of Florida nature. As a bonus, if you're familiar with Air Fest and are visiting during that time of the year: if you're on the beach during the festival you can watch the jets flying around MacDill AFB (and not deal with the crowds on base. Ft Desoto is defintiely a place you should add to your list to visit. Whether you are from Florida or not, this is a great place to visit!“

“Robbie Lowe was KILLER!! His drinks were so good his customer service skills are just outta this world. I will be sure to come back every time. We had a party of 9 and he took care of us and didn’t hesitate to make sure all of us were satisfied. Very professional and very good at what he does. It’s people like Mr.Robbie Lowe who make this place great ! And the food !!! the food was AMAZING. Best fish tacos and best mahi I’ve ever had. My husband said his burger was so juicy and cooked exactly how he liked it. Love coming to bamboo !!“

“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.“

“I came in to this location the other day and was served by Krystal, it was super busy and she took our table with a smile and had all our food to us super quick and she is so nice. I’ll be coming back here soon and you can bet I’ll sit with Krystal again!“

“Although it is a small restaurant run by two young friends with great enthusiasm, it is a very friendly place. If you can't tip because you only have a credit card, please tell me in advance as there is no place to write down the tip amount on your card statement. Please note that I am just a traveler.“

“Wow… very impressed. We stopped by today to pick up some bbq to take to a friend’s house for dinner. Got a pound of Pulled Pork, Baked Beans, Coleslaw and Green Beans. I have to admit my expectations weren’t very high being a good truck, but the food was fantastic and the service was excellent. Can’t say enough good things about this place.“

“We regularly got the meal plan for months. Most of the food was pretty good. it does save time. I don't recommend because they do not provide good macros for the meal plan. I needed to be able to calculate weight watchers points, the owner told me that they would provide me with the macros I needed, the employee who was supposed to get them for me did not because it was too "time intensive". If this is to be part of a health plan, shouldn't I be able to know what I am eating?“

“This is a place I adore! It is in the neighborhood I grew up in and I started going to them when they started in Tampa. This place means something to much of my family for a good reason. The Evo's ketchup flavors are fun with the air fries ?. I love kids menu and really all of the healthy variety for all to find something delicious. This is a perfect st.pete representation of yum and better eating choices.“

“Awesome "burgers" at Proper Meats..the Sticky Pig slow pulled pork, sticky asian sauce, and southern slaw!The BMAC burger...smashed pattie, mac the cheese, queso and bacon sdd in some 3bq Beans and fries and you're set!Great crew and the food was excellent!Some great blues playing on the sound system in the background was a nice touch too!“

“Jonny Carol and all the rest of the team were awesome. It is always a pleasure to be a part of your daily lives. Great service, and it's great to know there are still people who care. God bless you. Thank you so much.Parking: Very comfortable parking lot. No problem to find a spot.“

“Great waitress so fun to talk to had a good time with my mom thank you guys and boy was it a good burger wow I really wanted a ice cream shake thoughWheelchair accessibility: I was able to roll under their chair their table very nicely and I am in a wheelchair so thank you for that“

“This local dive has amazing food, strong drinks, and plenty of people watching (especially in the Front Bar. It is a locals hangout for sure. Burgers are amazing, wings are excellent. A couple good local beers on tap, usually. Staff is awesome.Parking: Parking can be tough when it's busy.“

“A must-dine when in St Pete! Superb, thoughtfully-created dishes that will delight the most discerning foodies. Great cocktails (try the Goddess if you’re looking for something refreshing, and they have the BEST espresso martini). Favs include the mussels with the grilled bread for dipping, the truly unique Mac & Cheese, and any of the salads. Honestly everything is great.“

“local dive bar carports pool tables all your regular shots liquor some lines most years that you could possibly want. a very local crowd a little bit older 55 average age but they do have several nights where they get college age clientele all at all decent place to go and wet your whistle“

“Recently my wife and I decided to stop by for a quick bite, as we walked in we were welcomed by Haley, and was advised to sit wherever we wanted. We had our Service animal with us so we weren’t quite sure if we were allowed in the dining area, Haley was quick to advise that we were more than welcome to come in. Hailey demeanor was very accommodating and very pleasant, she was very nice and treated us and my service animal like we were her own family. Tasha, the bartender picked up where Hailey left off, she was very nice very accommodating and made sure our plates were empty, and our glasses were full. if you ever come to the Applebees on 4th street, please make sure you get Hailey and Tasha.“

“Downloaded the app for them and chose the Frisco burger. I absolutely found it tasty. The customer service was not out of this world but better than expected. My meal was done before I arrived. The tables were clean, and the bathroom was clean even though you need a code to use restrooms. I chose a back table, and the atmosphere was pleasant because we were the only ones in the lobby that was lovely ? since Florida's way too crowed its hard to find a place to be. I will return because I enjoyed my meal.Thank you, hardees!“

“COME INTO STEAK N SHAKE WE HAVE GOOD SERVICE, FRIENDLY STAFF, GOOD FOOD, AND WE JUST STARTED HAVING A HOST! No it's not like it used to be when we had waiters wait on the customers but I will greet you at the door, I will help you order at the kiosk or take your order at the register, will bring you your food and shakes to your table, also be there to assist you or answer any questions you may have! My name is Josh and I hope to see you come on in!“

“We had a large party last night and Tiffany took excellent care of us. Our drinks were refilled promptly and she made sure we had everything we needed for our appetizers and entrees. Very attentive service and the food came out fresh and hot!! Excellent service and great food 5 ⭐️“

“We had an all-around wonderful experience here at The Avenue DTSP. Denis took great care of us. He was very friendly, upbeat and attentive. Loved his sense of humor and professionalism. I ordered the Smoke Stack and washed it down with a Front Porch Tea. Perfect combo! Chill atmosphere, yummy food, top tier service.⭐️ 10/10 ⭐️“
