“A legacy in the industry and a proper example of how to find the balance between value and quality (of which both are stellar)The tea and kava are sippable without compromising potency, cloudy with a chance of delight.Atmosphere is science fiction incarnate, enjoy a waterfront intergalactic experience.Overall one of the best kava bars in the county.“
“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.“
“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.“
“As a certified meat eater, I can say this vegan food ROCKS. You HAVE to order the chili cheese fries, I loved my Rueben but the fries were next level. The side chickies were good too but could do with more filling, it was kind of like just eating batter. A friend dining with me also commented that the GF bread was divine and didn’t have the usual “sandy” taste you get from other GF breads.“
“Went to the Courtyard to listen to the music and it was so nice out that night we decided to stay and eat. We ordered apps first , hummus and the pickle fires which were excellent. Then went for the sandwiches, we usually get the Cuban which is always excellent but also decided to try the BBQ pork. It was a pleasant surprise as it was very tasty, but I thought I was getting bbg sauce on it and if there was it was very little. I noticed afterward that on the menu it mentioned Cole slaw but there wasn’t any of that. So I am really sure what I got, except it was still good. It started to rain but we were under the canopy and moved in a little and just became friends with the people next to us. The DJ was good and we had a very pleasant night.“
“We had a great server and out of town guests..found this accidentally. Everyone was please with their meal. Large portions and great service. Sat outside..nice cool day and nearby music. No vibe inside. Better than expected for beach type casual place.“
“Hurricane eddies has been my local pub for a while. The staff make me feel so welcome and at home. Always looking out for mine and everyone's best interest. Always entertaining and make me laugh every time I'm there. The entertainment is always great from trivia to karaoke and the bands on the weekend (music during happy hour certain days of the week too)! Can get just about any sports game on that you request. Prices on alcohol also quite reasonable for being a bar on the water. Thanks for all the good times!“
“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!?“
“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!“
“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!!“
“A really unique restaurant, plenty of good atmosphere. I'm not too much into motorcycles or choppers but it was cool to see the workmanship on the choppers they have on display. All around I had a good experience here. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who enjoys motorcycles: I can't wait to tell my brother and his girlfriend about this place since they both have Harleys and my brother has a chopper. It was really cool to visit this place. Solidly good food that's reasonably priced.“

“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“
“Best breakfast place ever! The sweetest and best looking crew! Oh, and the food is outstanding along with the service!! They treat you like family! Make sure you tip them well because they really make sure you are taken care of! Everything is good!! Love them!! John S.“
“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!“
“Sip Wine St Pete Beach The Right Choice, “Perfect Venue”, Quaint Absolutely Wonderful Wine Unique Experience.Friendly Atmosphere's 10 out 10” - Very accommodating FUN and very comfortable. 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 ?“
“Warm and friendly coffee house with a great wine and beer selection, and delicious handcrafted food and desserts. Also a big supporter of local live music, with local talent several nights a week! Top notch open mic on Wednesday evenings, and featured performers on weekends. Check them out!!!“
“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 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“
“Lovely cafe with great, fun decor. I ordered a cold brew and was nearly knocked off my feet by how strong it was. (This is a good thing!) I usually go easy on the sugar but this brew was so powerful I had to mellow it out a bit. Also tried a vegan cinnamon roll with my sister -- was definitely big enough to share -- and it was delicious and not too dense (unlike some vegan pastries I've had elsewhere). Service was prompt despite a big line. Will definitely return.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Roe’s catered my backyard wedding Saturday night. Really can’t praise them enough. Exquisite food, delicious desserts and all their staff added special touches throughout the evening. Highly recommend for anyone wanting an event that is above and beyond. Well done and thank you.“
“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.“
“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.“
“New to the area my girlfriend and I wanted to try some local restaurants and came across the unique wine house and bbq. Paige greeted us with great hospitality and made us feel really welcome and Albert cooked up some amazing wings and brisket, but the cornbread is where it’s at. DO NOT SLEEP ON THE CORNBREAD….. ?. We definitely will be back for some more. Thank you for the great hospitality!“
