No bad. Nothing special, though. Known for they're hand-made bloody Mary's at 18 to 28 a poo.

What a fun place to start the day! We traditionally begin our vacation with a stop at the Blue Pineapple and take guests there. Efficient service, yummy food options, and amazing Bloody Mary choices make for a memorable experience.

I am vacationing in FL and met a friend who lives in the area that wanted to try out this place. We had gone to the Ringling College Spring Open House and arrived at Blue Pineapple Bistro around 1:40 pm.Karen had parked in the parking area right next to the Bistro but it looked full so I drove around half a block and found a large parking lot which appears to be available for the Dearborn patrons. Surprisingly no fee, and it even has its own restroom facility, map, and pathway to Blue Pineapple.It was Saturday afternoon and the deck was full with patron enjoying the day, live music. We were told we had to wait since no seats were available. I noticed that no patrons were sitting inside and we were to wait outside on the bench, so I walked to my car for a sweater and returned to discover we were already seated inside.Service was too quick for us as we were chatting, lots of choices, and hadn't decided what to eat so our waitress had to give us more time to decide. I was seriously contemplating the chicken taco but had really wanted the tator tots as a side and hadn't had a hamburger in quite some time, so chose the Basic Classic burger which did not disappoint in the least bit.Karen chose the Coconut shrimp appetizer dish for her lunch which she said was tasty. We had noticed the entire deck had cleared out, the musicians gone, and the servers cleaning up and placing chairs away. Our waitress had asked if she could close out the bill as it was 2:25 pm. I asked for a box as I still had half of the burger and more than half of the tater tots, and asked if they closed at 3 pm or 2:30 pm. Come to find out they close at 2 pm.After apologizing for delaying them, paid the bill quickly which is great since they bring the credit card machine to the table.Cute, casual ambiance. The fact that there was live music, though we were indoors.Food was good, service was too.

Bloody Mary was a meal in itself. Can't remember our waitress name but it was mom and daughter and they were both amazing. Eggs Benedict were great! We will for sure return

I visited during the very quiet morning of 12/12/2023. The avocado toast with egg would have been great if the bread hadn't been almost completely burnt. Not sure why it is even possible for this to make it out of the kitchen. If I were the server, I would have told the cook that I'm not bringing that to my customer.

Simply amazing! Their bloody Mary's are a meal. The deck is nice to sit on under a shade tree. What a great find. Will definitely be back.

We took a drive down Dearborn St. on "Black Friday" and decided to stop in for lunch. The setting is great! Outdoors, under the big ole' tree is a great place for people watching.We were seating right away. Service was a bit slow, but not painfully slow!We had drinks - bloody marys... I didn't care for mine, but that's just personal preference. The "not spicy" was too spicy for me lol. My sister enjoyed hers!Food was good. I asked for my burger medium-well and it came out more medium (LOTS of pink). My husband's sandwich could have used more meat (was mostly bread). Despite these issues, the food was very good!We would definitely go back and try another dish for sure.

Thank you for being one of the very few restaurants in the area to offer a Beyond Burger option for those of us who do not / can not eat meat, but would like to have something other than a salad when we eat out. And TOTS!! Blue Pineapple Bistro is my absolute favorite place to eat. If you're lucky, you can hear a little live music while dining. If you are a vegetarian / meatless - there's plenty of options. The drinks are great and the atmosphere is wonderful!

This is a fun, relaxing place. Bloody Mary’s are not only delicious, they are a meal with the drink. Awesome Sunday brunch. Worth the wait.

Blue pineapple is one of our go-to places when we come to Englewood. The food is amazing and the service is very efficient. I highly recommend any of their bloody Mary’s…. You will not be disappointed!
