“Stayed here for about a week and tried this place twice. Crab cakes were some of the best I ever had. Beer taps were out of order so had to have cans or bottles. Great service from the bartenders. Bring a jacket because it is windy up there. Would definitely go back.“
“Just had the steak and egg sandwich for breakfast. It was more than I could even get close to finishing. was walking out the door and saw the bakery and had to get an apple turnover also. Parker is an amazing waiter and I’ve got to tell you the other two staff guys are killing it. Also there is a great place.“
“Took a group of 20 ladies for lunch on Tuesday. We were seated immediately outside on a gorgeous FL Spring day. Our waiter was great and very personable. The ladies all agreed that the Bartendar made the best mixed cocktails, too! Now to the delicious food. Oh my, everyone seemed to really enjoy their meals from oysters, lobster sliders, hamburgers, fish sandwiches, salads & more. Easy to find and easy parking too! We will be back. We really want to try the early bird dinners. I enjoy weekend afternoons here with live music, too. We hit 5 stars here as it is not the easiest thing to impress all 20!“
“From the first bite of cheese rolled in dough appetizer, to the last bite of our main meal, it was all amazing. All very good food, fresh tastey salad and soft moist gyro meat. The rice was delicious and I usually hate white rice unless my grandma made it. Turkish coffee is so good! I would 100% make this a regular spot to eat.“
“My husband and I frequent this place about 2-3 times a week, we absolutely love it! Parking is easy, the ice cream is incredible (they always have a flavor of the month that is new and exciting) and the staff is friendly and helpful. The past few times we have had Owen as our server and he is very knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to picking the best things on the menu! Definitely give it a try you won’t regret it!Dietary restrictions: They have options for nut allergies etc.Parking: In a plaza so plenty of free parkingWheelchair accessibility: Easy access and plenty of room to sit“
“One of the best Italian restaurants we’ve ever been to!! Everything was so delicious and flavorful! We ordered the truffle fries - amazing. We also ordered pasta rustica (I modified and took out the mushrooms and olives, and I added chicken) it was definitely the best plate we had! The lasagna and tiramisu were also made to perfection. We definitely will be coming back here!“
“Upon arrival we had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. Once our table was ready and we placed our order our food came out super fast! We were in and out of there faster than the time it took to get seated. Our waitress was very friendly and speedy! I ordered the 2x2 breakfast.“
“Excellent local sandwich shop off the normal traffic path. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. They offer a large variety of half and full subs. Each sub is unique in the flavors it brings together. The atmosphere is festive and you can sit alone or share a larger table. For those looking for something more healthy they have a nice selection of salads. Stop by and enjoy a great lunch at Gateway Subs.“
“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.“

“Cecelia’s Sweets and Vampire Penguin is a family owned and operated desert and snack store located just off of Central Avenue in St. Petersburg with another Vampire Penguin location in Seminole, Florida. Their award winning shaved snow is unlike anything we’ve ever had before and we were already fans of the Vampire Penguin in Seminole before we tried their downtown St. Pete location!We were greeted by a very sweet young lady as well as Cecelia’s daughter and we’re excited to find that this location offered some additional items like house-made freeze dried candy, gourmet popcorn, cookies, delicious premium ice cream in a cup, cone or waffle cone, soft drinks, floats, warm pretzels, and even non-dairy and low sugar options on their small sized snow desserts! The restaurant is super cute with bright decor, friendly service, bar style seating and even a water bowl for your fur kids just outside the door! They have a cute Instagramable wall and the bathroom was well kept and clean.We ordered a warm salted Pretzel with their honey mustard dip which was delicious! I ordered the Blueberry Cheesecake ice cream in a cone and my husband ordered the stunning Polar Affogato - Coffee and Vanilla flavored snow, surrounded by Chocolate Brownie chunks, drizzled in Chocolate sauce and topped with fresh Whipped Cream dusted with Coco Powder. It was mind blowing!We will 100% be returning to Cecilia’s for the wonderful treats and fabulous customer service! Next time, I hope to bring my fur kid for their Bow Wow Wow canine friendly snow made of fruit snow and drizzled with Peanut Butter sauce.“
“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.“
“Some of the best kombucha you can find in the country without a doubt. This is kombucha worth traveling across state lines for. A welcoming atmosphere with an emphasis on keeping things local or in-season whenever possible. Incredibly balanced and clean kombucha that lets you appreciate the flavors they chose to brew with. Complex at times but never overly sweet or abrasive. While I live out of state and was just passing through for a few days, I will definitely be back whenever I'm nearby in the future. Bring your kombucha-hesitant friends and let them see how kombucha is supposed to taste.“
“i ordered on uber eats for a little birthday treat and asked for as much strawberry topping as they’re allowed to give me, and my cheesecake was upgraded to fully strawberry and happy birthday was written on my bag. so much love to kaden, this absolutely made my night and i will now be ordering from here much more often!?“
“Love this place so much. Tonight was the 2nd time I’ve been here and everything has been SO delicious. We had Hazel and she was awesome. We had the pork soup dumplings, the BBQ bao buns, some kimchi, and the lamb skewers. And I can’t decide what was my favorite to be honest. Will definitely be coming back!“
“In an already extremely friendly city, I stumbled across this gem run by potentially the nicest, most attentive people I've encountered since I've lived in St. Pete. Their hospitality was matched only by the quality of the breakfast they served me. Not sure I'll got to breakfast anywhere else in town, having had such a terrific experience.“
“Like this place much better than the Twistee Treat before it. Got a sundae and it was huge! The kids enjoyed their cookie monster ice cream too even though it was a huge mess of blue to clean up! Just know that a small cup is way too big for a toddler. They have big portions here! Cute atmosphere and nice touch adding corn hole for families to play. A little pricey for some things, but they more than make up for it with quality and serving size! Great addition to the area!“
“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.“
“I cannot believe I have not reviewed Pasghetti yet! It is absolutely DELICIOUS! The have perfected the spaghetti with meatballs and they also do alfredo. Which one should I get? I get BOTH! The owners are lovely as well so that makes this local restaurant a YES in my books. Thank you for giving me the comfort of home and love when I’m visiting from out of state. I. Recommend.“
“Lovely little cafe with great pastries and more. Few things bring me more joy than a good almond croissant in the morning and this is definitely a place to find one. You do not have to pay to get access to the cafe. They have a nice quaint atmosphere and will be back to try more!!“

“I stopped in today for a vape and was pleasantly surprised when Scotty let me know there was a drink bar as well! I tried The Void with white Kratom and it was a definite winner! I don't make it down this way often but I will be sure to stop in whenever I am! Great atmosphere, knowledgeable and friendly service, and great drinks! Thanks again Scotty“
“The food was phenomenal! Seriously one of the best meals I’ve had in months and I’m a foodie! My hubby and I shared the uptown eats breakfast sandwich with cheese grits & a whipped feta plate! Mmmmmm! Coffee was perfect also! Then to top it off we added on a tiramisu cheesecake brownie! Delicious!Kid-friendliness: It has a chill coffee shop vibe. You walk in and order food immediately and it’s made fresh very quickly in the kitchen!“

Truly very kind owner, staff and amazing hospitality, other patrons were very nice. Clean, bright fun and guests very friendly. Large selection of wines, also serve multiple bottles sampler wine card tasting and very cold beer. Very accommodating FUN and Quaint Small comfortable.A lot of Fun…“
“Went in on a random Sunday for the pizza. Highly recommend, it’s delicious. Joe, Amanda & Olivia (even when she’s not smiling) are fantastic beertenders. The place is also owned by a veteran, so make sure to buy a vet a beer as they keep the count on the wall for Veteran’s Day. One of my favorite watering holes. Parking is also a breeze.“
“Good spot for a variety of incredible ice cream flavors and popsicles. Some of the flavors tasted artificial or way too strong in certain spice/flavoring. No ice cream scoop love though, kept to the size.Key Lime Popsicle: deliciousNutella Ice Cream: GreatMidnight Chocolate Ice Cream: PerfectBanana Pudding Ice Cream: Artificial banana tastingChai Ice Cream: Gross, 50x too much chai flavoringTriple Vanilla Ice Cream: Good vanilla“
“Bacchus is always a 10/10 experience. The staff are all incredibly kind, their charcuterie is stunning, and their steak au poivre is fantastic. On their charcuterie boards, their homemade jams are lovely and their steak au poivre comes with an onion and garlic (jam?) that is to die for. On our most recent visit, we sat outside and as it was starting to get a little chilly, unprompted, they brought over blankets for everyone at our table. I really can't recommend Bacchus enough!“
“I’ve been to Bright Ice several times, and I’ve loved it each and every time! The staff lets you have samples of any flavor of their ice cream. I joke around with my wife, my family, and my friends, that this is the best ice cream shop in the world. In all seriousness, it probably is the best ice cream shop in St Pete.Parking: Parking lot is to the side of the shop.Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome. It has a family friendly atmosphere.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs to climb in order to go from the parking lot to the shop.“
“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.“
“I'm not new to Pinellas ale works. This is probably one of the most dog friendly brewery/ place in Tampa bay. I mean their acronym is PAW. They've got a large selection of their OWN beer which most breweries lack. Definitely get a flight or two. This time we got the sour raspberry pucker pup and peach Harold's lager. Both delicious if you're into gose's or lagers. The vibe is quite chill I mean why would you bring your pup somewhere it isn't. If you're looking for great beer and cool spot to bring your dog definitely come here. Cool thing if you bring your dog they've got a jar of milk bone snacks on every table.“
“An awesome community-focused, queer friendly, old school coffee shop. House baked muffins were excellent and I enjoyed their tea selection. Others in my group got coffee and that was great too! This place has such great vibes. Plus there's a community garden across the street for more good vibes ?“
“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“
“The Chelesa St Pete makes a great latte and espresso. The espresso is rich and full body. That great espresso makes for a great latte.The place is too cluttered to me. But that's just my preference. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating.“
“My mom recommended Craft Kafe to try while we visited St. Pete and glad we came here! My boyfriend and I just got the basic Craft breakfast sandwich and Iced Chai lattes. The breakfast sandwiches are just WOW, bigger than we expected and very yummy. You can't even tell the bread is gluten-free.The only odd thing about the building is where the ladies bathroom is located, which is to the left after you enter past the walk-in cooler (in case anyone might be wondering ?)Wish we had been in town longer to try their amazing variety of pastries!“
“Fun laid back bar with friendly staff and customers. Made an out of towner feel right at home. Bartender John gave great recommendations on where to visit to get an authentic downtown St Pete experience and the spots did not disappoint. Will be back next time I'm in St Pete for sure!“
“Sweet Brewnette is such a cute coffee shop. The line was super long, but went SO fast. The employees are all so nice and helpful. We got lattes, waffles, and a muffin and it was all so good. Everything tasted fresh. Perfect start to the day.“
“This was my second trip to St Petersburg and my second time to Paradeco! Not only is the coffee shop adorable - fun, bright colors, whimsy decor - but the food and drinks are great too. The place was packed on a Saturday morning when I visited, but the staff was working hard to get through the line as quickly as possible. I love the healthy menu options. We will visit here again on our next trip out!“
“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.“
“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!“
“Having now been to eight St. Pete breweries, I can say this one is by far the best. From the variety in selection, to the quality, to the atmosphere, you can't go wrong. If I had to pick one negative it's that you feel like an assembly line when you order but I think it's because they're used to such high traffic, they have to be efficient.“

“Only been here twice since we moved to St. Pete and the staff here are just consistently amazing. Very friendly. Plus the food for its price is just great value for your buck (discount if you’re a Crunch Fitness member). To be honest, their bowl can be good for two people.“
“One of my favorite breweries on St Pete Beach! They have an amazing selection of beers and always seem to have something new. The Made coffee stout is hands down my favorite.Their food truck out front kicks out some great food. I love the Mahi sliders but it all good.Parking: Or there’s usually park on the street right next to the brewery“
“One of the best bars on St. Pete beach! Great atmosphere, amazing martinis, great selection of liquor and cocktails! Small food menu to satisfy the cravings from charcuterie board to hot dogs! Not a dive bar but more of a cozy place to hang out with friends, meet new people or watch some sports! Needless to say bartenders are the best! Local gem ?“
“I had the best time visiting Schakolad Chocolate Factory. An amazing selection of unique flavors including bourbon, orange and lavender to name a few that I tried. There are also beautiful holiday baskets available. The Easter bunnies looked delicious! Great place to stop in for a coffee and some chocolate!“
“First time visiting and didn't disappoint. I looked up their menu online beforehand and when I arrived I saw their menu was a bit different. But they knew what I wanted and was able to make what I wanted.Portions are reasonable and filling. Service was fast and friendly.“
“I'm from San Diego California and visited this establishment and their food is just as good as California Mexican which is really hard to find here in Florida with the exception that they have black beans instead of pinto beans that would have made it 100% like California Mexican food.“
“A full blown date night restaurant in my opinion—delicious food, friendly service. Full bar and drink selection. We had appetizers, burger/entree, dessert and everything we ordered was great. What I like since their reopening is that it is less cafe and more full dining. I am not a vegan, and all of the alternative ingredients used tasted great and I did not feel like I was missing out on any flavor based on the absence of animal products. The parking was easy, they brought us a high chair, and my toddler was thrilled with the side Mac and cheese (he is extremely picky). They also have changing stations in the bathroom for little ones. Looking forward to coming back to try brunch!“

“Really fun kind of dark atmosphere, service was great. This is a dog friendly bar and Bella was incredibly popular, haha. We just stopped here for a beer and grabbed a couple pics. I love the coffin with the trident you can use to take pics with ?.“
“*UPDATE: I've gone here since this place opened and I have been through numerous owners of addicted to the bean. The product is still very good and their coffee is just great, however their service just is not good anymore. It is spring break here, and they have two espresso machines in there but the second one is not being used and they just cannot handle the volume. Today I had to leave because I just simply didn't have any more time to wait.This has happened to me a number of times lately, so I believe my addicted to the bean days are over. Sad to say.One of my favorite places to go. The product is great and the people are awesome.“

“Had the hotdog - Phenomenal! They split the hot dog and press it and it's on a toasted bun. Definitely recommend!!!Had the Cheeseburger - Very small and slice of cheese didn't even reach the edges of the burgerStaff - awesome, but slower service if they get a rush, but not their faultMojito - ?? It came from a pre mix in the cooler. VERY sour, no mint.Atmosphere - ??“
“The Campground, here at Fort DeSoto has to be one of the prettiest I have ever seen. Lush palm trees abound, giving the ample RV sites, really cool privacy. We have good water pressure and 50Amp electric.It's a sandy spot, and backing in around the trees, requires a little skill, but very worth while.“
