“Awesome place to stop for a bite to eat after a day at Fort Desoto! Burgers are fantastic-- try the Blue Beard and ask for some Swiss and blue cheese dressing for it it's delicious !Service was great, Stephanie was awesome and the food came out fast as well.Spacious and spotless bathroom tooWheelchair accessibility: A lil snug for wheelchairs to get around but was definitely do-ableRestroom was easy to get in and out of, though, and it was super clean ?“

“GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICE!!We came here for a late breakfast; the Pancakes were super fluffy, and flavored nicely with vanilla. I also ordered “Poseidon’s Omelette” which was amazing as well.Our server, Dana- has some of the best customer service skills I have experienced in any hospitality/restaurant establishment. She checked in with our table numerous times, refilled our drinks and checked in ensuring that our experience was the best it could possibly be.11/10 recommend— all visitors to the area must stop here (AND ASK FOR DANA!!)Vegetarian options: Most food has no meat, easy to remove and make all menu items vegetarian.“

“This was our first time over at Caddys, I can’t say enough good things about our server Kam T. Attentive, friendly, knowledgeable. Our meals were delicious too! Our experience was such a pleasure, we will be returning from New Jersey to eat here again.“

“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.“

“It was a pleasant experience.The server was attentive and nice.The food was good and came with proper timing.Overall, I would definitely be back!Parking: It was located about a block away in a vacant lot reserved for the restaurant customers only.“

“we had half their menu! And nothing was less than spectacular! our server was so outstanding! I would drive the two hrs from Winter Garden just for the scallops! Definitely recommend this place to everyone! Fair warning the salad is HUGE!“

“Wow. Fords Garage of St. Pete’s is truly on another level! The hospitality, service, atmosphere, and food were all top notch! Tracey, the manager was just the nicest soul!! She made us feel like family!! Truly amazing!! Would highly recommend visiting!!“

“All I can say is wow!Great atmosphere, our server was friendly and attentive, and the FOOD was probably the best I’ve had in St. Pete and Ive lived here 31 years... I got the Ribeye with goat cheese on top and the jumbo shrimp on the side. Steak was cooked perfectly(in butter not seed oils), presentation was beautiful, and the shrimp were delicious!I have been meaning to check this place out since they opened due to the grass fed steaks and I am kicking myself for not going sooner!Possibly the best restaurant in St. Pete or the Tampa Bay Area for carnivores and vegans alike.Incredible!!“

“Been here several times, and the service and food is always amazing. Birch and Vine lost my Christmas Eve reservation that I made six weeks in advance and even showed them confirmation on my phone. They didn’t even apologize or try to accommodate us. The manager Parkshore Grill was so nice and understanding she made a table for my family of eight and saved our Christmas Eve.“

“I had the stromboli as recomended to me from friends. Takes about 20 minutes. It is excellent-the bread is fresh, and the fillings are very good. I sometimes worry about the sausage being to chunky, but it is the perfect size and flavor. I ordered the larger portion, and my wife and I finished the whole thing with a little help from a friend.The owners are Ohio State fans, as demonstrated by the wall hangings, however the owners are friendly, and Michigan fans are welcome. Go Blue.“

“The food is amazing! All the reviews were spot on. The service was fast and so hospitable. Joe the owner spent time out of his day to chat with us too. Will definitely be coming back!Kid-friendliness: They had an outdoor area with kid stuff to play with“

“My morning at Paradise Grille in Pass-a-Grille Beach was absolute bliss! Sipping drinks by the ocean, surrounded by great company and a fantastic vibe, made for an unforgettable experience. The drinks were top-notch, the view was breathtaking, and to top it off, there was a delightful vendor market adding to the lively atmosphere. Paradise Grille is a must-visit spot for anyone looking to soak up the sun and enjoy the best of beachside living.Marisa Balletti-Lavoie“

“Not enough stars to rate this place!!! Me and my brother come here 2 times a year for the past 4 years, this is the best food I've ever had. We eat at Crabby's every meal breaks fast, lunch, or dinner. Currently setting in the restaurant typing this and watching the dolphins go by. I have traveled many states and are at many different restaurants. Never have I had a place as good or consistent as Crabby's on the pass. Me and my brother make this place a must when's we come. The service is awesome and the price is hard to beat for the area and the food. I can't recommend the hogfish enough I've ate it three meals in a row!!!! The royal red shrimp as a appetizer is a must!! If I lived here I would eat every day of the year. The breakfast is AMAZING! I get the gravy biscuits and my brother loves the waffles. Shane has been our server most of the time and he is awesome we can be needy at times but he always makes us feel welcomed if anyone needs to be praised it's him!! A wonderful worker at the least I would higher him in a instant. A jewel to hang into......Crabby's has my heart!!!!“

“Had a family dinner here on Monday and it was incredible!! It is a smaller place so there was a bit of a wait but it went by quick and was well worth it. Because it’s smaller there’s no sacrifice on quality of food or the service itself. We all got the filet mignon with Gorgonzola cream and it was amazing. Max was great!“

“I happened to be in the Saint Pete area and friends took me to VIP For lunch. The food was great and the margaritas were amazing! I can’t wait to go back there next time I’m in the area!Parking: There’s a few free parking spots, but most of them you have to pay for whether it’s in the lot or on the street.“

“best service we’ve had in a very long time! Came on a Saturday, we were seated promptly even though it was busy. Trystan was our server and she was amazing. Unique drinks, elevated food at great prices, the best happy hour, & atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu.“

“The food was delish. Only reason for 3 star on atmosphere is we ate inside because I had visitors who did not want to be out in the sun even under cover. I love the deck and sidewalk area and even bar area. We had a handicapped person with a walker, and the handicap entrance from outside was tight. People at 2 different tables by the door had to get up so my guest could get by. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Our waiter was great. Any meal to me with their roast beef is excellent. The waffle potatoes yummy. Fish sandwich great, too. There is a much more fun atmosphere outside, too. I love the music. Wish there were times when we could add space to thar dance floor!Wheelchair accessibility: Not as easy as it should be on the inside. Tight quarters. Hopefully, enjoy the patio outside with no problems. The handicap ramp is located on the east side of the restaurant.“

“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.“

“Great food, great service. But the whole vibe comes off as a diner. Bear tables scattered around and uninspired room. However on a quiet traffic day sitting outside is a good option. I had the spicy Mexican chicken sandwich with fries. My friend had the French toast fingers with fruit. Both dishes were excellent! This service was spot on. This only loses a star because of the sterile atmosphere.“

“Friendly, delicious and reasonably priced little diner that my son and I made an unexpected stop for breakfast and we will definitely go back. The food came out fast, hot and fresh in good sized portions and our server was very nice and accommodated my son with his random requests!Kid-friendliness: The staff was very friendly and patient with my son“

“Our server Leti was amazing... very knowledgeable... your berry crepes were the best... she sold them as we asked how they were... oh and your SigHotSauce is kicking.... when we travel we only do MOM&POP .... EggHaven is on top of our list ?“

“Good food, modestly priced.....superb location in nice quaint small town, service was average at best, our server Sophia didn't seem too thrilled to be there. Atmosphere was horrid this day, noisy construction going on across the street, which was not their fault.... nice place to eat overall“

“The food is always amazing. I didn't notice the beer wall the first time I was here but that's such a fun idea. The drinks were delicious and I love the open feel of the restaurant. Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. Bathrooms were clean. There's curbside parking in front of the restaurant and additional parking parking right up the sidewalk at the garage connected to the museum across the street.“

“This is our second restaurant on Beach Dr NE, after Parkshore Grill.Definitely will return: it’s better than Parkshore Grill next door.We came here before the opera Turandot. It has a sizable outdoor section that looks out to Tampa Bay, with sofas and regular tables. The indoor decor is tasteful, dominates by a big mural, which was done by artist Annette Gloomis (?). High ceiling, with three exposed fat pipes. Fresh flowers on the tables, handbag hooks under the tables.Allelo is short for Allelomimetic -> allelomimetic behavior.Stems, tableware and utensils are all really good: especially they use smaller spoons for desserts – thank you!We’ve 4 glasses 2021 red from three countries:Portuguese Touriga Nacional Herdade do Rocim: smooth, the best of the threeFrench Syrah Domaine Faillenc St Marie Corbières: okSpanish Garnacha Camino de Navaherrero Bernabeleva: too dryThe asparagus (sunflower, aleppo, pecorino butter) is yummy. The sauce is light and lively. Too bad we weren’t hungry after the big lunch at Terra Gaucha.We’re able, however, to squeeze in a piece of tiramisu – it’s to die for, with prominent dark rum taste; and I love the coarse texture – I don’t like my food being massaged too much. The cake is made in the house.I like the wall paper in their bathroom too -:)“

“We like to sit at the bar, so I can't speak for the whole restaurant experience, but at the bar you have your own bar tender, the drinks are creative and unlike anything you get anywhere else. The food comes out quickly, is picture perfect and delicious. The bar stools are extremely comfortable. Definitely fun to try the flight! Ambiance is great, very popular, make a reservation in advance!Kid-friendliness: I didn't see any kids, leave them at home with a pizza“

“DELICIOUS and super filling. The Mac N Rib was filled with a ton of meat and Mac and cheese. The tater tots were alright (too strong on the truffle oil). Would go back to this place. $15 dollars per sandwich with one combo (tots and drink) for $41. Parking can be very limited.Parking: Very limited for space“

“Had an absolutely amazing meal here tonight, perfect for a date night out. If you’re looking for a place that truly cherishes the culinary experience this is your spot! Every part of our meal perfectly complemented the next, our waiter was extremely personable & attentive, truly one of the best meals we’ve had in our area. Highly recommend. Thank you to everyone involved!“

“Was very excited to have found this place. Great tasting, extremely fresh, good portion sizes, nice staff, good indoor or outdoor seating options.Would be a great place to come before having a night out at the bars if you don’t want to have a sit down dinner but want something hot and fresh, close to everything.“

“I’ve been seeing the gateway subs guys on instagram and realized the Pasadena location was on my way home yesterday. I ordered online. Their website allows you to order and customize your meal very well. It was easy to place and pay for the order online. I swung by on my way home and my order was done 10 min early. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. I’m so glad I saw them on IG because it’s in a strip mall and I might not have noticed it otherwise. It’s just on the east side of the Corey Ave bridge so it’s very convenient for people coming or going to the beach. Oh…and the sandwiches were GREAT!“

“Ordered a board walk burger and fries, my family visiting from canada had the fish and chips . Service and food was excellent and our server Aurora was sweet and delightful. I always take my friends there because the food never disappoints!“

“The food was excellent. We got the shrimp tacos and buffalo chicken appetizer. Overall cool vibes with good tunes playing in the background. We sat outside and it was a lovely afternoon lunch. We also brought our small kids so it was nice to have a shady spot in their outdoor dining area to spread out a little so us mom's could enjoy a nice lunch and a beverage while the kiddies napped. Bookmarking this spot Visiting from @cattlemanscoffee in Michigan Update to this review: it was so good we had to come back the next day for lunch. Equally as enjoyable the second visit, too!“

“Great food. Not a whole lot of room or parking for that matter. This was our first time here, and we heard plenty of good things about the food. They didn't disappoint. I will come back another time for sure.Parking: It's just not a whole lot of parking“

“I personally wrote mgmt about how amazing Starlite was with and for us for our wedding day just this past Saturday! Initially guided by Teresa and Leslie who were spot on organized and made life easy for us, we were then handed over to Ted for coordinating and to be our personal assistant. Ted was phenomenal!!!!! He cared about every detail along with us. Ted made sure that he was not only in the initial planning stage but lived it with us! Being there on our wedding day, Ted made sure that everything we put down on our itinery was met 100%. Starlite gets 5 stars for providing great services and a great staff. Ted gets 5 starts for getting it done, hands on and again, leading the way all the way through till the end. Stephanie, the DJ, was so awesome!! Easy to work with and so pumped the crowd up. She wanted to make the party rock, which it did! Everyone who flew in from around the country for a weekend in St. Pete for the wedding, are saying it was the best wedding they went to because it was "an experience" on a yacht, tour, great service, great staff, great experience. Our social media clips etc have 1,000s of views because of the presentation and live action onboard. I highly recommend having you event here. We will definitely plan anniversaries etc using Starlite. And Ted, is our friend now! (When I can add video clips soon, I'll update this review with video clips) 5 stars“

“A favorite local neighborhood spot to end the night after hanging in the St Pete area. Sports on the TVs, good music on the jukebox, and a fun laid back vibe. Decent bar food and friendly service. Always end up staying later than I planned. :)“

“Absolutely incredible dinner. The service was very welcoming and friendly. The chef was brilliant and talked us through all of the dishes, describing his intentions with the bold and complex flavors of them. This place has a truly unique intimate dining experience you won’t find anywhere else in St. Pete.“

“Great spot in downtown Gulfport. This entire area gives me a bit of a Key West vibe. We sat outside and watch the good people of Gulfport walk their dogs. Full menu all day. Most of us had breakfast and all of us were happy with our choices.“

“Beautiful location and outstanding service / communication. Clean, spacious rooms with everything we needed. Having beach chairs, beach towels, etc available meant less to pack and one more bonus. All made for a relaxing and very special week.“

“We hired them for our Annual Party and they were awesome. Great communication, showed up early, and the food was terrific! I can't wait to go downtown on my own and try some of their other delicious food selections. We would definitely use them again. Thanks again for making our party great!“

“Gabe the bartender and Sixty the bartender are the best! Service is awesome! Watching the KC and Ravens place crowded. Still awesome service! Locals make it even better. Bartenders enjoy interacting with customers making you feel special even when you don’t know anyone.“

“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.“

“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!“

“We eat here often as it has become one of our favorite restaurants! Last night was exceptional! We both ordered the filet which was melt in your mouth! My baked potato & hubby's sweet potato were Devine! Corn and house salad were also the best! Thanks for a delightful evening ?“

“Fun place with great live music. We had an issue with the front host being incredibly rude and wanting to split our party of 8 and said we could not split a bill if we sat all together. The GM resolved it quickly and kindly. Servers were friendly. We only had drinks here“

“Outdoor seating in open or under large tiki Pavillion along a waterway and marina. Servers are friendly and helpful. Mahi tacos are the best I have had outside the keys. Limited menu so everything is made wit care.Parking: Many people ride bikes or walk. Parking is limited but we have never had a problem. Worst case there is parking along the road outside the gate a short walk away.Kid-friendliness: Nice view of water and wild life. All the kids I have seen seem to enjoy the food and relaxed lunch time atmoshete.Wheelchair accessibility: At lunch would be the best time to scope out low table seating and get a feel for maneuvering. Small friendly and yummy spot.“

“Andrew greeted us on arrival and Charlotte did a fabulous job serving us. We had the turkey avocado melt and cheeseburger. Both were very good! As a bonus it was Free Pie Wednesday! So we took a couple slices of pie to go. Will definitely visit again. Five Stars!“

“Love the seating on the balcony especially for a group of friends. We had a wonderful time there, nice wines, food was surprisingly good, Cervice excellent. Our server Marietta was extremely nice, friendly and helpful with choosing the food and wine. Will be back for “

“This is the one place we go for breakfast like clock work every three months due to Drs visit up the road. Undoubtedly the best place for breakfast. Try anything, it's good. Wife had meatloaf once for breakfast..Dietary restrictions: Gluten free menu is a plus.“

“We were on a Friendcation to St. Pete Beach and decided to eat an early dinner at this restaurant/bar. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere was fun. Loved the skateboards on the walls. I loved the wings, but my friend says the Dirrty bird was better.“

“Definitely check this place out. I pass it all the time and it always seems busy, but now I know why. The waiter talked me into the country fried steak, and what a recommendation it was. Solid food, solid service, definitely will be back for another meal.“

“After staying away for two years, and with the new ownership we decided to give Grace another try. As locals love to support our local establishments. We had a delightful evening, the staff, service and most important the food was delightful!. Mussels, Duck and Scallops cooked to perfection! We encourage locals that had been less than pleased in the past to give it another try.“
