Restaurants in Saint Pete Beach

“only place I've found in St Pete with a real crepe...everything else has been excellent too”

“Buona ristorante (aka Buona pizza) advertises themselves as a classy Italian restaurant. This place is nothing more than a pizza joint. Extremely small inside with paper table cloths that they tear off from a big roll on the back wall. Ordered garlic bread and calamari for appetizer. Garlic bread was OK, calamari was so tough you could not even chew it. My mom's OSSO BUCO ALLA MILANESE (pork shank) was seasoned good, but I could tell it was cooked earlier and then heated up. The outside of the pork was warm, but the middle was stone cold. My wife and I got a Hawaiian pizza. It is thin crust and extremely soggy. Could not even pick up the pizza slice it was so soft. Had a horrible, weird tast me to it, almost like a sour tomato sauce. Barely even ate one slice and left the rest of it there. Went there for birthday dinner, and it was ruined. I guess our first red flag should have been that on a Saturday evening, it was not even busy.”

“This is an incredible place to visit in St Petes Beach! Beer is also cold and refreshing, the Strombol is 5 Stars, and the owners and staff are world class. I plan my vacation to visit here, and end up staying for the nearby beach!”

“Came here on vacation, the only thing better than the pizza was the service. Will come again if ever in the area”

“Love this place! Easy to walk to in PAG and across the street from the beach. Amazingly fresh food - açaí bowls, sandwiches, coffee, ice cream etc. the most friendly and kind family. Come support them!”

“We ate here 2 nights while staying on the beach this week. The hummus and flatbread along with their house salad for a starter was sooo good. The coconut shrimp was good and the coconut curry snapper was the best fish I have ever tasted and I grew up in Florida. The dish is not sweet and the flavor is amazing along with fish cooked perfect. Don’t hesitate to eat here it was our best meal when in St Pete Beach. Thanks Snappers we will be back!”

“By far the best Saint Petersburg casual place to eat.
Wish they had more space, however likely how they control their quality and service experience.
Great wine and food!”

“Great on the beach location”

“Fresh, from scratch food. Italian favorites that do not disappoint. Our waitress was such a happy influence to our dining experience. One of our go-to places while in St Pete Beach. Did I mention fresh, not frozen, food made from scratch daily? OMG, the chicken parm was to die for. HUGE portions.”

“We enjoyed a pre-brunch drink here for thanksgiving brunch. A sparkling wine and golden hour with rum, cinnamon stick, contreau, were great starters. We enjoyed the big TVs and the mini curling in a board game.
Accessible tables and high top ranked as well as bar seating and accessible out door seating.”

“Great on the beach location”

“I love every Playa Bowls location I’ve been to. The only thing about this one is that I wish there was some indoor seating. It was a million degrees outside and I was scarfing down my bowl to beat the heat. But I love the variety of bases you can get for the bowls.”

“The starter salad is so delicious and our steaks were cooked perfectly and mine was actually the best steak I’ve eaten! Definitely coming back when I visit again!”

“Loving our stay here in a spacious suite. I have slept better here than I have in years! We had dinner out in the courtyard. The redfish was locally sourced and delicious. The soft shell crab was very good according to my friend. It’s a quirky place to stay, but very well run. Love the breakfast delivered in the morning.”

“My favorite pizza place ever! ❤️”

“Delicious ice cream and they have a variety of flavors to choose from. They also sell candy and stuffed animals. Friendly service and shop was clean. It’s a little ice cream shop tucked in a plaza.”

“Love Love LOVE this coffee shop!!!”

“It's an amazing place where the locals and vacationers interact in such a friendly way! Great drinks, great conversation and welcoming atmosphere.”

“I had an amazing experience at Rascal's! The martinis were absolutely fantastic—perfectly crafted and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere and service made it even better. Highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy some top-notch cocktails!”

“Are here twice during a recent visit. Love to sit outside and listen to the music. It’s great for kids because they can be loud and not disturb other diners. Great food and service.”

“Great food drinks and beach 🏝️”

“Went to lunch today for Thanksgiving. It was great and very appreciated.”

“Great food with great service! The portions are generous and the prices are still very reasonable for the location. Would definitely come back here again if I were in the area.”

“THIs I S THE BESTEST PLACE ON ST. PETE BEACH!!!!!! Ya do not want to leave once you are there. Amanda is the sweetest and now she is my adopted daughter cuz i fell in love with her. She took very hood care of my 80 yr old momma and she had a blast . Devin will rock your world with his cocktails and the DUDE is Chris himself. Love my new tiki family. Always a great time with fun people and even better when it storms. Only tiki bar on my list to visit every single time I am here. And i spend a time there every day while on vacay. Generally I am not a drinker but on the beach a bloody Mary from Chris' beachside tiki bar makes me happy every time and Amanda will create a drink if needed and Devin is more than accommodating. I love my St. Pete Peeps. Cannot wait to be back. See ya soon Amanda Panda my sweetpea, Devin and Chris (my dude)✌️☮️💙💙💖🙂”

“This is a very comfortable place to go. Great beers and selection. Meghan is the BEST! Kind and prompt and always serving a beautiful smile and ear when you need it!”

“We visited twice during our annual stay and loved it! The food was amazing and staff were very friendly. I would recommend this place off the beaten path because of the great service. We will 100% be back again and will tell our friends to make a stop. Thank you to the nicest staff for making our visit so lovely.”

“Branzini is a new standard for great Mediterranean Food In St Pete and the entire Tampa Bay Area - The owners and staff ( Especially Tazo and Natatia ) are so inviting and helpful that you just can't find a better restaurant experience in our opinion - The chicken dish was my favorite - my wife loved the seafood and pasta dish and the wine and beer selections are very well suited to the dishes they serve as well. Deserts off the charts ! Just go and enjoy yourself immensely without breaking the bank ! There is also some fine live music from time to time . Call ahead because it's sure to get busy as the word is traveling fast!”

“The ice cream is sooo good!”

“Great food and excellent service. We enjoyed our visit.”

“Stopped in for a light dinner last night and was so pleasantly surprised! I started with a cup of shrimp bisque, which was packed with flavor. Then some polenta and shrimp, beautifully presented and even better tasting. I paired everything with a glass of Chardonnay, which rounded out the meal wonderfully. Loved the cozy vibe and friendly service. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Not a fancy spot but the food came out quickly, was very flavorful and fresh, and the service was fantastic 👌

Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options, if that's important to you!”

“great pastries 🍰 👏🏾 and wonderful cappuccino”

“Don’t usually leave reviews but the atmosphere of this place is one of the best I’ve ever seen , Everyone was so friendly and awesome and especially Gabe, he’s one of the most cool, genuine and funny guys I’ve ever met and made my night, would recommend this place for anyone wanting to go to a sports bar”

“Busy but not too busy on a Saturday night. Ordered the Shoyu Ramen and several Poke Bowls plus gyoza and edamame. Service was steady and unobtrusive. Ramen was good, ample noodles and the broth had a smokey flavor. Appetizers were good friends said the poke bowls were good!”

“Brother & I got a fried grouper sandwich, my wife had the fish & chips, we all loved our food. Wait staff were polite & fantastic, wife & I will certainly be back!”

“Such a gorgeous view on the water! We just had appetizers shrimp cocktail but they were delicious! Valerie the bartender couldn’t have been any nicer! We had a great time! Can’t wait to go back!”

“We were disappointed Monday...... they were out of coconut shrimp, the fish special, and their normal French fries. Although we mentioned how bad the French fries were to the waitress, no substitute was offered. We also had to stop another waitress to get drink refills. I emailed the restaurant, but no response. The wharf is our go-to restaurant at St Pete Beach..... the fried shrimp and fish basket were very good, but we were surprised at the food they were out of at 6:30 at night.”

“Love this restaurant. Make reservations in advance. Great restaurant to get friends together for your birthday. Don’t come here if you are just going to complain.”

“I’m a local. This is a good spot.”

“We dined on Easter Sunday 2025 and experienced the most fabulous food, atmosphere, and service!”

“Had 2 excellent dinners this week while on vacation. My wife and I agree that the chicken piccata was the best we ever had! Highly recommend this old style, Italian restaurant!!!”

“We ate at the restaurant and the food was amazing and the prices are very reasonable. We will be back!!”

“Great food drinks and beach 🏝️”

“love Paradise Sweets. great location, cute shop, so many options. the caramel dolce expresso is phenomenal. the staff are very friendly and very knowledgeable.”

“Ever since I first saw the Don CeSar, I knew I wanted to get married at the historic hotel for it’s grand appearance and beautiful décor. From the moment we toured the hotel to our wedding weekend, the Don CeSar was nothing short of amazing to work with for our destination wedding. Despite being closed for 6 months due to Hurricanes Helene and Milton, the Don CeSar General Manager, Barbara, and the Director of Events, Kasey, had open communication and made the entire wedding planning experience as seamless as possible. They were compassionate, caring, and did everything in their power to make sure the hotel and its courtyard was reopened (and in great condition!) in time for our wedding. (We were the first wedding back the weekend of hotel’s reopening.) Kasey, Barbara, the hotel staff, and the hotel banquet team (chefs, servers, and bartenders) went above and beyond to make sure our wedding day was the best day of our lives. We truly received a royal experience as the bride and groom. Additionally, the hotel and its staff made sure that our guests were properly accommodated. Every single one of our guests were impressed by the hotel staff’s amazing top tier service and had nothing but great things to say about the hotel. When it came to the actual wedding day, the banquet team provided first class service. They even accommodated unexpectedly moving our cocktail hour indoors due to rain without missing a beat. The banquet chef prepared an impressive meal to perfection for our 180 guests. One guest even made sure to comment that it was “the best filet and salad” they had ever had. The pastry chef, Amanda, also prepared a cake that was a rendition of my grandmother’s 1950's wedding cake. The spectacular appearance and taste well exceeded our expectations. The servers and bartenders were nothing short of amazing as well. There were no lines to get a drink, and each server was very attentive. My planner, florist, and rental companies had zero issues working with the venue to set up the grand ballroom. The band/violinist were able to perform without any issues. Our wedding day/weekend was truly perfect and the Don CeSar made it memorable and beyond anything I could’ve ever dreamed of. I would highly recommend this wedding venue to any newly engaged couple looking for the best beach wedding experience. There is nothing else quite like the Don CeSar.”

“Patrick makes the best drinks on the beach! Trust me! He is also very kind and made my family's trip to St Pete even more enjoyable! Thank you for everything Patrick!”

“We enjoy the service, food, drinks and atmosphere! Love the margarita in paradise, really enjoy the breakfast and Eddie is always a great waiter!”

“I love going ther. I want their last Saturday and I watched people who had their dogs bothering people. When was a big Great Dane like and it tried to eat the food off a guy's plate he was getting disgusted. The other dog was smaller but still a pain in the ass . People need to keep their dogs at home.”

“I came here to celebrate my friend’s birthday What a great choice! Terrific food, great atmosphere and fabulous service by Whitney with a lovely view”

“Larry's has been our go to ice cream place over the years when we come to town. I love the coconut cake sundae It is delicious, however since the last time we were here the sizes have decreased dramatically while the prices have gone way up.”

“Affordable drinks, play music, watch your favorite sports team, shoot darts, play pool, bring your pupper, and, all in good company !!! Good bar ❤️”

“The outdoor and pool area were amazing! The bar backed up to the beach and the staff was super friendly. The rooms were clean and cute. The coffee shop was great and the restaurant inside had the best menu”

“Got the Thai Fighter and its delicious!! The Thai basil on it is a great extra! They were also excellent and making sure I could have some things due to allergies! I highly recommend them!”

“Went to check out the scene and was pleasantly greeted with great music as well as phenomenal views. Food was mediocre at best but not really what I was there for. My bartender was super sweet, plus the area was luxuriously spacious. Definitely check this place out, I’ll be back!”

“Great service, food was delicious, place is tiny inside with not much atmosphere as you can only see the pool or the hotel. You can take your food outside or to the beach. It is convenient and delicious, will be back for breakfast”

“I had such a wonderful experience today stopping in for a matcha. I didn’t know what to get so Aliah and Chris walked me through some of the baristas favorite matchas. I went with “The Tolin” which did NOT disappoint. Aliah asked if I wanted anything to eat so I grabbed a cheese danish. She asked what I was up to today and was so kind and helpful with fun things to do in St. Petersburg! Thank you beach Starbucks I’ll be back!! 😌”

“Kind of loud with music. No frills beach eats either on the deck, under the roofed tiki area. Or in the shack. Nice selection of cocktails, liquor, and beer. The crowd was having a lot of fun.”

“Good food and good service!! I highly recommend eating here!! The calamari and the gnocchi are DELICIOUS!!”

“We always go to Jimmy B’s when we visit St Pete Beach for our girls trips!! The atmosphere is amazing and the bands play awesome music. Drinks are good too! Highly recommend!!”

“The Hurricane Seafood restaurant was an awesome experience! We called them the day of to see if they could accommodate 13 collegiate basketball players and their coaches and families, and they made it happen! We were in and out of there in two hours and got to enjoy a gorgeous sunset in a really fun atmosphere. The food was fantastic and so was the service! Thank you Russ, Carrie and Lisa!”

“Had lunch at Crabby Bill's today. Blackened grouper sandwich was fresh and tasty, onion rings were just right, and our waiter, Jaxon, was excellent. Always enjoy Crabby Bill's when we're in Florida.”

“Scrumptious experience…….can’t wait to go again…….scrumptious!!!!!!!”

“The espresso here is spectacular. The pistachio croissant (especially when warmed up) is delicious. The staff throughout our stay was always friendly and welcoming. Yes, it’s very pricey which is annoying, however, it is located in a higher end hotel so this is expected.”

“This weekend we had ordered delivery from your SPB location and the tall lean male driver was impatient at our door. I only have two hands, yet he wanted to drop quickly and go. At our age, we want a tad of respect because we cannot move as quickly as he can, but it may be the wrong profession for this chap.”

“Dinner with a friend was met with friendly service and delicious food. Highly recommend this family owned restaurant.”

“Best ice cream ever ! We always stop by when we are at the beach .”

“the bands on Monday and wednesday”

“Absolutely loved this establishment! We went several times during our long weekend at Sirata. Was not a fan of the actual resort due to several reasons, but this was the one positive that we were able to find when staying at the resort! Food and drinks are delicious. Service is great! Cornelius was awesome - as were the other bartenders we socialized with last weekend!”

“Great beach bar! Beautiful sunsets. A perfect stop on any walk on the beach.”

“Great location with good food, drinks and great service. Best place for sunsets and catching your favorite sports”
