“We had Heavy's Food Truck come to our location for a work function for 75 people on Halloween. They were AMAZING! From the beginning of the process with Frances to the food they served. EVERYTHING was on point! I would recommend them to anyone and will definitely be calling them again. Super happy with our experience!“

“Such a great place to hang out listen to awesome music provided by one of the best DJs named Coop the food is absolutely amazing I highly recommend checking this place out if you want to have a good time with good music and good food and a great atmosphere“

“The best food and salads. I have also had them cater food for an event and have been pleased.“

“Chef Ray puts out an incredible menu every Sunday. The food is amazing! My favorites are the Cowboy Mac and the cabbage side. But anything you order will be delicious. Chef Ray goes to great lengths to source quality ingredients. It is a pleasure to speak with him and whoever is helping him run the booth every Sunday. This is a don't miss spot if you want some REAL food! Updated from previous review on 2024-06-30“

“Definitely recommend Bernie's, I'm 39 yrs old and been eating Bernie's since I was a young lad spending the weekend at my aunt's in St Pete. Even now me and my wife drive from Bradenton just to get a plate. Being a cook myself I recognize good food and they got it“

“This gem in the beautiful Fruitland Heights neighborhood has been a mainstay of the community for decades. We're new to the neighborhood so we finally decided to stop in today for supper? (Really it was a super late lunch) around 4pm. Like other reviews said, it is a Very Friendly place, and James behind the counter made us feel like we were old friends.The ribs, smoked right there on site, were falling off the bone and so delicious! I especially loved the collard greens and black eyed peas. I ordered the oxtail stew, like it was something I get every day, but in fact I thought it over and it was my first time eating that. The stew just looked so good in the case I couldn't resist, and I like trying new things. It was meaty and savory.Total bill including two drinks $40. We definitely have leftovers for a whole nother meal tomorrow. You can order smaller portions, but we wanted to try all the sides so we got the large one.The hang on the porch was a step back in time with all the neighborhood old timers chit chatting.“

“We came here 2 years ago and really enjoyed our stay, the hotel views from the room and the not so crowded beach front. We booked this hotel again this year for one reason: Yuri. We love the friend we’ve made at the bar, he’s very welcoming, makes the best drinks and just a happy familiar face to see when we get back from dinner or grabbing a drink inbetween some beach time. Truly the hotels hidden gem, make sure to try one of his margaritas!“

“I work all night overnight in Gulfport and have done so for over a year now. McCall's and Son Restaurant is the thing I look forward to every morning. The fellas are professional and serves good, quality food at affordable prices. The bacon is crisp, the pork chops are to die for, and the potato blend is delicious. A me tee of mine tried the catfish and he was done eating them before we even left out the door! ? The grits and eggs aren't salted much, or at all, which in my opinion is great for our community because too many of us are gone too soon from high blood pressure and hyper tension. The have do it yourself coffee as well as homemade fruit punch, Lemonade, and bottled orange juices. Looking forward to many more mornings with McCall's and Son!



Dietary restrictions: The eggs and grits don't seem to have any salt (salt is available for you to add on your own)“

“The food is to die for very tasty most definitely 10/10“

“Finally, good BBQ. Literally planning our next visit. Meat was flavorful and juicy.“

“In town on vacation and was looking for a soul food restaurant. We found TJ's and they didn't disappoint. We had oxtails that were fall off the bone good and tasty. The sides of collards, black eyes peas and yellow rice were all good and seasoned. Looking for some comfort food....give TJ's a try. We will definitely visit again.“
