“I’m absolutely thrilled that St. Pete now boasts a breakfast spot with convenient parking and exceptional food! The outdoor seating is particularly wonderful, especially when dining with kids. The French Connection is a standout – their French toast is both incredibly fresh and satisfying. What truly sets this place apart for me is the outstanding staff. They treat my son like family, particularly Val and Brandon, whom I always request. It’s heartwarming when they inquire about my family, remember my favorite dishes, and take the time to brighten my son’s day with extra smiles. Their genuine care means the world to us. While you can find pancakes anywhere, the genuine friendship they extend to my son is truly unique to this place. Thank you for employing such exceptional individuals. And let’s not forget to mention, they serve the best lattes in town!“

“I am leaving a production catering review. My Kitchen Witch provided catering to a large production crew and security where I work (a large historical building on Wall Street). I couldn't believe how quick and professional that My Kitchen Witch was in set-up, the meals, and the breakdown of their service. The food was excellent, especially the pork carnitas and Mexican street corn! I definitely highly recommend and would love to head to their cafe in Monmouth Beach, New Jersey!“

I also liked their egg sandwiches and homemade hash browns. Looking forward to trying more food from here. It is nice to have friendly service while enjoying the view of the boats as they move through the inlet.“

“Table of 4 with no duplicates on apps or entrees so that’s a lot of ingredients. Every one of those ingredients were prepared to perfection! A thick cut pork chop you could cut with a fork, mussels that I’ve never had that tender, the best Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had and the list goes on. Every person there raved about their meal. All the best, you’re definitely raising the bar in the area. Oh and our server was super friendly.“

“My husband and I LOVE River Rock's outdoor dining. We enjoy seeing the boats coming and going while we eat. The Manasquan River is a beautiful sight. Any food items that we have ordered are delicious. Lauren Guenther is one of our favorite servers. She's a sweetheart. She's very friendly, personable, and very focused on what she's doing. We know Lauren from when she served at Carrabba's. She was very special to us back then as she is now. Being local residents, we visit River Rock frequently during the summer and we will ALWAYS request either Lauren or Kelsey Conover because we simply adore them both. River Rock is our outdoor Happy Place during the summer. 💗💗“

“Love this place! Always come here with my family! The waiters/waitresses (especially Patrick) are always very kind! I always get the Royal Red Robin! It is amazing. But the only problem is that the yolk is always kinda runny. But other than that, everything else is perfect!“

“The food was delicious, featuring an assortment of teas and coffee options. I enjoyed the Huevos Ranchero bowl, and we also shared the Great Pumpkin Pancake special, which was truly outstanding. Although this is not my first visit, I can confidently say that I have never had a bad experience here. The quality of the food is complemented by excellent service, an appealing menu, and a pleasant atmosphere.“

“I highly recommend 801 Craft! From the food to the staff to the atmosphere, dining here is a most enjoyable experience. Eating out can be a challenge for me because of my many food sensitivities and I really appreciate the staff and the chef being willing to accommodate me. The cocktails are tasty as well!“

“A very good place for American food!
The portions are huge, the staff very friendly and the ambience is great!
Located directly on the beach with great seating options!
I will definitely be back!
Thank you very much!“

“My husband just stopped and got a PIG OUT Ribs , brisket , pulled pork+chicken, So much food will be having it for 2 more meals. Excellent smoke, ribs melt in your mouth, Hushpuppies like crunchy little bites of Southern Sunshine...the coleslaw fresh and the Cornbread should be listed inder deserts it's so sweet and moist. I would give them 7 stars if possible.“
