“This is one of my favorite local restaurants and feels like a hidden gem. We’ve been here multiple times and their recent renovations look amazing and give an updated vibes. Services always great and food is delicious and authentic. Recommend the saltimboca and Marsala.“
“OMG blow your diet and budget here at the outside bar beginning about 1PM so you don't get the sun. Skip the grouper nuggets although they are excellent, and get the hogfish with a blonde or summer ale. Or, three. Going back tomorrow...“
“Got to watch the sunset by the pier for our dinner here. Our server, Rob, was super attentive and there was a small delay in our food and he immediately rectified the situation and comp’d one of our meals. He made sure we were comfortable and checked in on us regularly. An amazing experience here. The fries were a bit salty, but otherwise the fish and chips were great overall!My partner got the phillycheesesteak sandwich and it was delicious.“
“Scott was great, attentive and knowledgeable! He recommended the grouper nuggets meal which was delicious (I don’t love seafood but they were yummy). A grouper nuggets basket option would be good so don’t have to pay extra for fries :)Dietary restrictions: Gluten friendly bread or wraps available!“
“My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary so would could eat as much slow crab and crawfish as we could. Was so good we had to order a second tray. Our waitress Chelsea was super inviting, helpful, and never left my sweet tea empty. Couldn’t ask for better service.“
“We loved it . I took my son here after school . Everything was delicious. He had jumbo shrimp that were fried perfectly . I had the poblano tortilla crusted grouper . The grouper was flakey and fresh . I don’t normally like salad but it paired very well with the grouper and sweetness from the corn .“
“Our first time to dine at Sea Grapes and as we walked in we were greeted immediately by the smiling Nina our server and knowledgeable sommelier. Nina was great and she made us feel comfortable and welcome right away. The restaurants atmosphere was upscale casual. Our appetizers and meals were delicious and presentations beautiful. The chef even visited our table. We will definitely return in the near future. Thanks Nina for a great first experience at the Sea Grapes Eatery“
“A very delicious lobster roll. I got the Coneticut roll, which is lobster and butter. It tasted very fresh and crisp. The front lady said the tater tots were really good, so I was excited, but they tasted like regular frozen tots so ?♀️ maybe a miss?? Overall deff recommend the lobster roll!“
“Everything was amazing! I wish we hadn't waited till the last night in IRB to go to Guppys. Collectively, we had the scallops, crab cakes, and swordfish, and the soup de jour and chefs choice app was amazing. Out waitress Amy was great. And she was very nice to our boys. She talked to them and asked them their choices they are 3 & 6 having the patients to get an answer out of them us difficult. It was perfect and I can't wait to go back next time!Kid-friendliness: Good kids menu. Nice choices“
“Snappers is one of my favorite restaurants to go to on vacation as they never disappoint! My favorite is the crusted tuna which is always cooked perfectly. This time we also had the steak and red snapper which were phenomenal. We ordered the sweet potato fries specialty appetizer which also was amazing! The salads, breadsticks and hummus are phenomenal as usual. I highly recommend.“
“The Right Choice absolutely wonderful restaurant on one of most beautiful beaches in country, family oriented fun, my 3 young grandson’s just love this Beautiful beach and restaurant classic area. Sunsets are amazing, very clean, lots of shells on beach, great swimming in Gulfof Mexico, restrooms and seating lots of amenities close by Paradis Grille, great pay parking lots on beach Adirondack Chairs Pucnic Tables“
“This is a keeper! I've driven past it hundreds of times. Went in today for a fried fish basket. I was not disappointed. Everything was delicious, the fries were crisp, the coleslaw was cold and fresh, the tarter sauce tangy, and the fish were perfect! The batter was crisp, but not overwhelming and just the right thickness. I'll be back!“
“Apart from the price (more expensive than usual) which is mostly expected because this is a fish restaurant, yes, the quality and taste of the food are of high quality. Recommending this place accordingly. Inside is quite ok, not ground breaking but very fine. Would have been sitting preferably outside but chilly exceptionally when we ate there.No misunderstanding: do not except cheap prices but this is a Go and we will eat there again.Note: staff is young and cool / doing a very good job too.“
“The Helm is a newly converted breakfast/brunch/lunch restaurant. The food is great and perfectly prepared. Service is extremely attentive. The atmosphere masterfully designed sea themed that is both casual and upscale, which works great for the beach town. Captains daily catch is always fresh and healthy portion. The French toast is to die for. Wish they were open for dinner.“
“The foods tastes great, menu is very basic with a lot of options to drinks though.. only issue is bugs and flies do come on you and food. Depending on days lack of servers service can also be an issueWheelchair accessibility: They have a nice open area in the rear where anyone with wheels can easily pull into and should have no issue sitting“
“Great for Date night. It's Right on downtown strip with plenty of outdoor seating. Tiki Masala was great $18 naan bread was fresh and warm, but small portion of chicken, but it was perfect for me - just giving a heads up for others. Husband got the Hot Nashville chicken sandwich $ 15 and said it was great. Server disappeared for a bit- but overall, it was good ?“
“Just had brunch and it was amazing! Our group got a few things and shared and we loved it all. Crab omelette, stuffed French toast, the bowl and last but not least the breakfast sandwich. The food was a 10/10 but the service I can’t even rate. Joey might have been the best server I have ever had, anywhere. Kind, friendly and attentive! Can’t go wrong eating here any time of the day. For the cherry on top, ask for Joey!“
“I take me & my Girl to DJ'S 2 or 3 x's a week.I always get the lobster roll & conch fritters.Nice healthy lunch.DJ'S Crew is awesome.Austin brought all my food & drink to my truck parked in front & I then paid bill on card & good to go from there.Then slam the lobster ? rolls.Always fresh & delicious,salute. ????“
“Da Sesto continues to be a part of my annual trip to the Tampa area for Spring Training. This is my 6th or 7th year of making Da Sesto part of my dining plans and never disappoints. An incredible selection of food and beverage in a wonderful atmosphere with excellent service. Make sure to leave room for dessert!“
“Our food was amazing I would eat there over and over again like I always do and are amazing server Randy with an I was so kind and so great and I loved her glasses a+ for you girlfriend. And everybody else was just as great and thank you to the manager and thank you for everybody in your help we appreciate honesty and good appetizers and good entrees and good desserts and that you do have my guy that you do have so with that said I recommend you with 100% backing whole heart thank you special thanks to Randy with the eye she deserves a raise.“
“So when one goes to a restaurant with the word shrimp in the name one expects said restaurant excel at the preparation of shrimp.Oh man did they ever excel at it. We had shrimp in our appetizer and shrimp in both of our mains. They were cooked PERFECTLY.The setting was nice and the service was good.We will be adding this restaurant to our list of regular places we dine.“
“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.“
“Charlie was a very attentive and efficient server and we had an all-around great experience. Do NOT skip the hushpuppies here, they are some of the best we’ve ever had. Steamed crab legs were incredible as was the ahi tuna. Wish we’d had room for the banana bread pudding but we’ll make sure to get it next time - can’t wait to come back here!“
“Our 3rd year in St Pete’s Beach, our third (or maybe 4th) trip to Shells. We love it here - the pasta is perfectly cooked and dressed, she shrimp is beyond perfect. The fried fish, the crab cakes, the salmon - there isn’t a thing I’ve had here that isn’t great. Also $6 margs that don’t taste just like sour mix and cheap tequila - but are just right on any day. If you have a kid who likes Shirley Temples, order one and you won’t be disappointed by the surprise. Service is awesome! Shells is a must visit in St Pete!“

“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.“
“Spent the weekend in St Pete and of all the places we went to (which was a lot) O’maddy’s by far had the best overall food, atmosphere and drinks. Very fun St Patty’s weekend festival with them closing the street and having tents everywhere. Service was also very fast as well.“
“Dockside Dave's truly lives up to its reputation as a local favorite in Madeira Beach. Every visit here confirms why it's a must-visit destination for seafood lovers. Their daily catches are a highlight, offering the freshest and most flavorful seafood I've ever tasted. It's clear that they prioritize quality, and it shows in every dish. The Grouper Sandwich, a house specialty, is a must-try - the perfect blend of fresh taste and culinary expertise. What really sets Dockside Dave's apart, though, is their exceptional service. The staff are not just friendly but genuinely enthusiastic about making your dining experience memorable. They're knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations, especially on the daily specials which are always worth trying. This place isn’t just a restaurant; it’s an experience that celebrates the best of local seafood. Five stars all the way!“
“food was really good and tasty, it was a very calm and chill place. only bad side of it was the waiters, not only when i first came in some blonde waiter looked at me up and down, when i was ordering staff was very rude and unprofessional and was acting like he didn’t want to be there, would definitely recommend if you have a lot of patience.“
“Had dinner at Coconut Charlie's with my wife and cousins. The food and service was awesome. Some of the best Alfredo I have ever eaten. Cassandra helped us with our orders, each time a new dish came out of the kitchen she would tell us what it was. She was great. Would definitely go back again.“
“Best food so fast while on vacation. Service was great. Food selection was excellent, I would highly recommend it if you're staying in Madeira Beach. I'm already looking forward to my next stop there before we leave. Small place but the turnaround is very quick.“
“Excellent Grouper Sandwich! Two large fillets, cooked perfectly, with fries and coleslaw. Best quality seafood restaurant in the Tampa region that we’ve found. Small place, so you’re not going to get a party atmosphere, but if you want to sit down and eat a simple, great seafood dinner, this is your place.“
“Courtney was our Bartender on the rooftop of Toasted Monkey. Courtney was attentive and pleasant. The view of intercoastal and Gulf of Mexico is amazing from this location and it was a beautiful day to enjoy the Toasted Monkey! My son and I loved the beef nachos to start and I highly recommend the pork tacos. Delicious! My son also seemed to enjoy his Buffalo chicken wrap. Thanks to all the staff at the Toasted Monkey! Great experience.Parking: Free Parking available next to the restaurant and across from the restaurant next to the intercoastal. Pay to park street Parking is available and is free at 8pm nightly. The corner where this restaurant is can be busy so Parking is hard to find at times but there's plenty of ride share services, FreeVee, free beach ride, etc. I encourage you to utilize one of those services.“
“I am a former Islander and was so excited when I discovered this place. The owners have done an amazing job of creating an authentic Hawaiian BBQ here. Huge portions and atmosphere extraordinaire!! My partner and I enjoyed the Huli huli chicken plate served with Mac salad and rice. Ono!! And Jenna was very welcoming and displayed a real Ohana image. Check it out and you’ll feel like you’ve taken a local Hawaiian vacation!“
“New York crab has been my favorite restaurant for over 10 years it’s highly recommended and the food is reasonable and great flavor and u get a free alcoholic drink for the adults u gotta go try them out u won’t go wrong and tell a friend to tell a friend , go on their Facebook page they have a lot of daily specials“

“Great Experience!! The atmosphere here at the Doc Ford's St. Petersburg Pier is just as wonderful as their other locations. Now I can say that I've been to all of their locations!! Great food!! Perfectly Crafted Cocktails!! Fantastic Service!! Fabulous Atmosphere!! And, Especially that "Doc Ford's Rum Bar Vibe" that you can expect to feel at each location!! It's a totally submersive thing that you just feel once you step onto the property!! I had the Shrimp Ceviche paired with the Fried Calamari.... Superb!!My BFF of 43 years and I had a great time!!“
“As you would expect from a French restaurant owned by a French woman, the food is very good, the wine list is very nice, and the atmosphere and experience do reflect old world influences. If we're ever back in the area, I would definitely stop in again.“
“We have been coming here yearly since 2011. This trip I had the pollo verducci and my wife had the rigatoni ala vodka. Both were outstanding. The woman who served us was a delight. We’ve never had anything but a great experience at Verduccis. We highly recommend this restaurant and hope to return for many more annual visits.“
“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.“
“This place is absolutely stunning for spending time with friends and the drinks were simply amazing! Our waitress Pam, who is also an ER nurse like us, went above and beyond to make our experience fantastic. Even Austin, who brought us our food, was friendly and accommodating. It's moments like these that remind us how wonderful it is to have great company and service when we need it the most.“
“Small beach bar with good drinks and good food! A great spot to hit when you need a break from the heat on the beach and to grab a snack. Get the coconut shrimp I promise you won’t regret it.Parking: Very difficult to park just due to beach location.“
“If I could give 100 stars I would. I was raised in St. Pete but moved away about 8 years ago. Every time I come visit I always go to Ted Peters. The fish spread is to die for and so delicious and fresh. The smell of smoked fish when you walk up is amazing. Service is always great. Wish I could have fish spread shipped to me it’s that good!!“
“One word to represent greatness? Avion. This real G clearly stands on business at all times. Avion was the best server that I have had in a very long time. My experience excelled above my expectations because of him. Food was fantastic and I couldn’t be more happy.“
“The most darling poke place on the beach. The owner is a joy, great atmosphere, great food, great vibe. After a long day at the beach, try Madbeach Poke for a refreshing, quick, custom poke bowl experience. 10/10!Dietary restrictions: Great for gluten free options and vegetarian!“
“After deciding not to cook for my Wife bday, I decided to order food here...seen it thousands of times, first time ordering...The Staff is amazing...Tina and David were awesome, very friendly and professional....and the food was to die for...I only had appetizers, Crab Stuffed Shrimp, Bacon wrapped shrimp, basil meatballs, gouda spinach dip and the spring salad...everything was exquisite, fresh and so delicious...and can't beat that southern flavors...I can't wait to try all their other dishes. Highly recommend Bayou.“
“My daughter and I had the best Seafood boil ever for lunch there yesterday! The atmosphere outside is always entertaining. Our waitress, CC, has an amazing personality and over the top service. I've ate here several times and highly recommend their Seafood boils.“
“I do the Italian thing and I am the "spicy meataball" but nobody does brisket and ribs like Casper. I haven't been there in years and my mom always did a brisket cut on an angle with the bay leaf slow cook with the potato celery carrot onions etc...Casper we haven't broken bread in years and I'm coming cuz I remember this and you are the best“
“We decided since we had some friends along to try the at the table grilling. It is a lot of fun and the food was very good. We ordered an angry tuna sushi roll as well, but would have had plenty of food without it. The grilling combo we got was for four people and came with miso soup and ginger salad for everyone and then a tempura shrimp appetizer. It came with 4 different meats bone in short ribs, spicy pork, beef bulgogi, and chicken. Along with 2 sets of ban chans the little pickled accompaniments and sauces and bowls of white rice. They have beer and a nice selection of Saki and Soju also. The service was quick and friendly, we went early on Saturday evening. They also have plenty of other delicious food options besides the table grilling, if playing with your food is not your deal.“
“Can’t believe it took me so long to try this place. Great atmosphere, friendly owner, staff, patrons. Probably the best fresh fish in Tampa area and it’s local. A bit chilly but they had outdoor heaters and would move them to accommodate patrons. I’ll definitely be back!!“
“We were recommended to eat here by a local charter captain. We loved the valet parking but yet casual atmosphere. We were told 1 hour 15 min wait, but after sitting down they got us a table in 15 minutes. The food was fabulous and the staff was attentive but not over bearing. We dined “
