Restaurants in Saint Pete Beach

“Meilleur breakfast de St Pete Beach !!🤩🤩”

“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.”

“Food, atmosphere, service...owners are awesome!!!!”

“Great on the beach location”

“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!”

“Great spot for some Cajun cuisine! This place is a must every year on vacation. We stop in at least once for dinner and once for weekend brunch. Big fan of the shrimp and scallop torpedo and the beignets!”

“My wife and I could not string enough adjectives together to describe this place. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the care, thoughtfulness and passion from the owners Zack & Jen. The food speaks for itself, balanced, delicious, creative, and generous. We were lucky to find this place.”

“Anything on the menu is sure to please.”

“Awesome restaurant. A must visit”

“Beautifully amazing! The experience is a wonder so much to see. I am very blessed to have experienced it! The main attraction, though, was our server, "Megan" . Not only was she the sweetest, most attentive, and wonderful person, but she was very knowledgeable about history! Words can not describe how she should be running customer service there !! " Paris Hilton would love her and love it there." A definite must experience!! As always, tip your servers well!!”

“Amazing bowls and such a cute place! Great options for those who don’t want the original açaí base, so delicious could eat here everyday! Stupid Cupid is the best”

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

“Great place!! We were trying to find pizza place with dine-in option and came across Giuseppe's!! a perfect find!! We had half/half pizza and garlic knots....very good!! Nicole, our waitress was very friendly, personable, and attentive!! The music was great...loud enough to enjoy but not drown out conversation....made for the perfect atmosphere!! Try this place....you'll love it!! 😊”

“Great service by Jenna and great grouper sandwich”

“Snappers is a must-visit! The service was top-notch, the atmosphere was perfect, and the food was incredible. Highly recommend!”

“We walked in on a vacation and the building quickly filled up to the brim, the ONE worker there doing everything was incredibly patient and quick with our group of almost 10+ more in line behind us. Every flavor was great and they had dairy free options!”

“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.”

“I took my family here on Tuesday after seeing their Tuesday crab special. The food was really good! I got the special. 1lb of snow crab, slaw, and potatoes for $25 and it was $20 for each additional lb after that. I think it was up to 3 additional lbs. The shrimp skewers were also really good. My wife had the chicken pasta and said it was really good. My 2 kids were pretty satisfied with their meals, too. Our server was very nice and knew a lot about the menu and items on it. Keitston B was her name. Very nice lady.”

“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!”

“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)✌️☮️💙💙💖🙂”

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

“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”

“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!”

“Great on the beach location”

“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!”

“Such a great atmosphere and delicious wines!”

“I enjoy the atmosphere. I was impressed that there were different styles of eating by the window at the bar and for our party of six. The bread was excellent. The food was mouth-watering... When you first go in. You feel like you are in a place that takes a lot of pride in their food and culture because it is displayed in a beautiful glass display case. I cannot wait to go back... And bring friends.”

“A must go destination if you’re on St Pete Beach.”

“What an incredible experience! The food, atmosphere, and service were truly unmatched—nothing else on the beach compares. As locals, we’re already looking forward to coming back!”

“the whole atmosphere is amazing!!!!!!And bar tender was on point as well...will become a regular here and highly recommend friends as well”

“This a great place for Indian/vegan/vegetarian food if you are near the St. Pete beach. Venky, the friendly staff, was nice and got the order out very quickly. The ambiance is good than the usual Indian restaurants. Highly recommended and good size portions too. Highly recommend the breads(naan, roti)”

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

“We hit this spot every time we come to St. Pete! Love it!”

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

“We stayed here for 4 days, out of those 4 days we kept returning to the cabana bar for a bartender named Edward. He was absolutely amazing and made our entire trip. If you see Edward at the cabana bar be sure to stop by and say hi! Great service, fantastic drinks (especially if you ask for bartenders choice!) would highly recommend over and over again.”

“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”

“Great place for food and drinks. Just left after having their mile high meatloaf. finished all of it. So good. haven't been disappointed yet. Would highly recommend this establishment. Enjoy!”

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

“Was in SPB for a week recently & ate here EVERY nite! No reason to go anywhere else. Great variety on the menu & food was absolutely delicious. This place has a great vibe, beautiful views & a friendly, efficient staff - especially Justin who seemed like our own private waiter! Can’t wait to go back next year - every nite.”

“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.”

“Fantastic pre hurricane lunch!!!”

“Overpriced and Could careless (takes tips without asking). Will not listen to order placed rude could care less. Nothing but a Bunch pirates and scallwags should be keelhauled.”

“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.”

“Stopped in here a couple of times during our stay. Staff was friendly & attentive, the food was great!
Beers were cold, but due to the weather temperature you will want to bring or buy a kookie.
Cool to sit & watch the green parrots flying around.”

“I’m a local. This is a good spot.”

“Phenomenal!! The best experience! One of the part owners, Ish, served us. It was as if we were at a family meal! He had wonderful food and wine recommendations. The portions were large but it didn’t compromise on the quality. Can’t say enough good things, we can’t wait to come back on our next trip!”

“Great food drinks and beach 🏝️”

“Great Wine! Great Service! Stopped in Grapes Wine Café the other evening! Such a charming little place! My friend and I shared an order of mussels and a great bottle of Octave Vinho Verde. The bartender, Marianne recommended the awesome wine from Portugal – they have an overwhelming selection of wines! Her knowledge of wine and enthusiasm for the upcoming “new” menu was enough to convince us to go back soon!”

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

“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”

“Everything here is absolutely delicious! I could not recommend this place more from the bbq to the sides especially the mac n cheese, i could eat here everyday! Dont forget to check out their specials too!!! Amazing wings! ❤️😀❤️”

“Great place!! We went here several times during our week in st Pete’s! Might fly down just for the bloody bar!”

“Great staff!!! Large menu. Well prepared food!”

“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.”

“This is a great beach bar. the inside is much larger than you'd suspect and is mostly all bar seating. They have a solid pool table, foosball, and slots. All of their bartenders are friendly, pour great drinks, and prices can not be bested. it is a local crowd and most know each other by name. The inside is kept clean, the hours are amazing, and if issues do arise the staff handles things swiftly. We highly recommend it :)”

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

“We came for a late Thanksgiving dinner and the food, service, ambiance, etc was just amazing! We will definitely be back.”

“I had a great time at Bongo’s last week. The cocktail menu is creative and you can’t beat being right on the beach.”

“Stopped and ate and had drinks today and had great service. We had our 2 goldens with us and they were so accommodating. I believe we met one of the brothers that started the restaurant who told us to go up to the rooftop bar to see the 360 degree view. Did not disappoint. Best calamari I have had. Highly recommend”

“There's not enough I can say about the incredible staff at Tradewinds/Gulfside Kitchen. Today my husband and I enjoyed poolside breakfast. Mark and Lexy were very welcoming, friendly, and added humor to our day. Our breakfasts were prepared to our wishes and delicious. We have mounded a lot of great memories here, thanks to staff like Mark and Lexy.

“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!”

“They have the nicest staff, and the food is never bad… ever… Lindsey who was our waitress for three different days, recognized us and took absolutely great care of us!!!! I hope she is here next year when we return! It is reasonably priced and in my opinion they have the absolute best raw oysters on this island! We have been coming here for the past two years and will remain faithful customers for the foreseeable future!!!! I am so glad we found this place when we were searching for local places to eat!!!! 💕Much love!!!”

“Just left Grand Hacienda at Tyrone Mall in St Petersburg and was introduced to one of the best meals that is on their special menu introduced today. It is the birria ramen!! absolutely delicious. The flavor is amazing and it has pieces of tender birria beef found in their special tacos. It’s being prepared for a short period of time. Go try it…..you will love it!!”

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

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

“Always a fun time and great food. Service is always outstanding. I have eaten here many times and have always left happy. The food is always fresh and tasty. Per other reviews the prices can seem to be a bit high but they are running a business at the beach where rents are high.”

“I waited a very long time to get my to go pizza, it wasn’t because it was not made yet, because it was warm not hot like previous ones, when it was handed to me. Having watched the petite brunette gather in a huddle with her coworker, her conversation in front of waiting customers is rude. Especially when you can hear their negativity! Sunday is a hectic day already, getting ready for the work week and I was left feeling like I was interrupting the petite brunette gossiping about your other employees in ear shot. Customers didn’t come first yesterday and her conversation was a detriment to others in my opinion! Watch out for that one IMO.”

“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.”

“Fun place on the beach. It was my first time being there.”

“I was there for my birthday and I had a great time the ambiance was great and our waitress was so pleasant her name is Jeanae. I enjoyed talking to her.”

“It was very good the staff and owner are very nice and friendly love to talk and make friends the food was EXTREMELY GREAT!!!!!”

“Great food…great people….the seafood chowder and grouper Rueben are the bomb!! We go here at least twice a week every time we are in St Pete Beach”

“Rumfish Grill 8-24-24 The restaurant opens at 5pm so we made reservations the day before for the first seating at 5pm. We arrived about 4:25pm and went to the bar for a drink before dinner. Four things right up front to remember that we did not know but learned fast. First you must pay $10.00 to park to go into the restaurant or bar unless you are staying there. 2nd Parking, restaurant, and bar ONLY take credit cards but can take tips in cash. 3rd this restaurant is not for everyone as it has a very limited menu and it’s pricey. 4th if you make reservations make sure you ask for a table at the aquarium as these tables go first. The restaurant opens at 5pm and the bar is open from 11am to 12am. The Bar only has a very small menu so if you want dinner you have to go to the restaurant where the 33,500-gallon aquarium is located. We got seated at 5pm and Audrey took our drink order and left menus for us to look over. When she came back, we asked her if we could move to a table as we asked for that when we first arrived. She had seated us at a ½ booth with cracked bench seat and ½ table. That was too uncomfortable for the wife. We moved to a table and proceeded to order our food. I ordered the Grilled Rib Eye medium well with Yukon Whipped Potato’s. The wife ordered the Angus Filet Mignon medium well with Yukon Whipped Potato’s. Our orders also came with a couple spears of asparagus on top of the potatoes. My dad ordered the kids Chicken Tenders, Fries, and a Salad as he could not find anything on the adult menu he liked. It took a while for our food to come out, so they brought us 3 rolls to hold us over. Once our food got delivered my Rib Eye looked perfect and tasted fantastic it was done just perfect. My potatoes were good, but they were warm not hot but not cold enough to send back. My wife’s Filet Mignon was done perfectly and tasted fantastic, but her potatoes were just warm. The asparagus was cold and hard. My wife had to ask another server to fill her drink up as we have not seen Audrey in a while. She did stop by much later to see if we needed anything. I thought for an upscale restaurant with higher prices the service would be better and the food a lot hotter. The steaks were done perfectly and tasted great too bad they could not pull that off for the rest of the meal. By the way my dad’s Chicken Tenders and Fries were very good, and everything was hot. With the large 33,500-gallon aquarium which was absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing to watch they really have a niche to draw people in. This place could easily be a 5-star restaurant, but it only earned 3 from my experience. ⭐⭐⭐ Follow me on FB for more. Gulf Coast Terry”
