“Great for Date night. It's Right on downtown strip with plenty of outdoor seating. Tiki Masala was great $18 naan bread was fresh and warm, but small portion of chicken, but it was perfect for me - just giving a heads up for others. Husband got the Hot Nashville chicken sandwich $ 15 and said it was great. Server disappeared for a bit- but overall, it was good ?”
“Been here several times, and the service and food is always amazing. Birch and Vine lost my Christmas Eve reservation that I made six weeks in advance and even showed them confirmation on my phone. They didn’t even apologize or try to accommodate us. The manager Parkshore Grill was so nice and understanding she made a table for my family of eight and saved our Christmas Eve.”

“Frescos Waterfront Bistro is a hidden gem in St. Pete with a stunning waterfront view. My recent experience there was exceptional. The Angus burger was cooked to perfection, easily one of the best I've had in a long time. My wife ordered the St. Pete Bowl, and it was phenomenal; the flavors were exquisite, and the portions were generous. The ambiance was delightful, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend Frescos for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in St. Pete!"”

“Today was my first visit to this restaurant and I could not have been more pleased! The food was amazing.....but the best part was Elijah! He is, without a doubt, the kindest person I have met in a very long time! If I'm in the area again I will absolutely eat here again!”
“Stopped in with a long time buddy of mine. Not his first trip here, but it was my first. We drove well off our route and it was worth it. Really good pie here...crust is awesome.”

Outdoor Dining
“Ted Peters smoked salmon is as good as any I have had in my life. I am in my 70's and have been around a little, what a great place, nothing fancy just seriously good food, just as it has been for years in the same location and making great food the same way they have for years.”
“This Is a unique and GREAT fun spot if you love doggies! Bring your pooch or just swing by and witness pure greatness as you can grab a drink and watch puppies of all ages play in a secured area. It's like walking into heaven. 100000% recommend for both locals and visitors alike. Such a great spot!”
“Absolutely amazing!! Every time we go everything is amazing! Malory, the waitress, is AMAZING!! We always seem to get her when we go and I can’t say enough good things about her. She’s quick, funny and personable. She jokes with us and makes our time at The Joint a great time.”

“Staff are awesome. We did large deluxe. Calzone with choice of filling (we chose meatball). Pizza is very good. Thin crust NY style pizza. Calzone was gooey with lots of cheese but we couldn't find any real meatball chunks. Liquor right next door but this place also sells beer. Hit the spot for takeout back to AC hotel which is right across the street.”
“We actually decided to try this place because a couple doors down, the Cuban place ended up having bad customer service and bad sanitary practices. And of course this place was not a disappointment at all. The service was great. We had the Greek chicken salad, with a flatbread pizza. It was really good. And despite the fact that it was only one waitress who pretty much handled the whole place. In fact she let me try a sample of her three favorite beers. And they were all very good, I ended up going with the sour flavored one, Florida version. Needless to say she was very good. We didn't feel the service was lacking. The prices are pretty reasonable as well. If we weren't just visiting from out of town, we would definitely be back, and we highly recommend. ??”
“Food was fantastic, especially the fresh oysters. Our server was fantastic and went above and beyond to make our dinner service great. Will definitely be returning in the future”
“I loved every part of this museum and to make the experience even more enjoyable, A simple ice coffee at the gala cafe really just compliments the beautiful patio and walk area for when you have made your way from the upstairs museum. We really wanted to “go all out” so for and extra $15 you can purchase “DALÍ ALIVE” tickets, this is apart of the museum that takes place in an 360 orb theatre! The amount of detail & eye candy in Dalí’s artwork is displayed for about 40mins!( I definitely recommend!!!) overall I loved reading and learning all about Salvador Dalí’s journey. I truly believe Dalí has changed the idea of art as a whole and has left me questioning what I want for my future and inspiration:) If your in tampa please do your brain a favor and stop by to absorb and explore the great Salvador Dalí museum!Dietary restrictions: Sugar-free and dairy free(almond milk) options!Parking: I believe it’s $5 to park or free I can’t remember ?Kid-friendliness: Yes! Plenty of fun items in gift shop and out door area for play, Dalís paintings and sculptures are definitely eye candy for kiddos!”
“We were warmly greeted when we entered Casita Taqueria. The cashier went over the most popular items on the menu. I got three tacos: carne asada, shrimp and brussel sprouts. All three were very good.My hubby got the carnitas bowl. The carnitas were well cooked and not too dry and not too wet.There is parking in front and in the back.”
“A St. Pete institution with outstanding food, good service, and a slightly elevated and very relaxed Florida vibe. In the early 2000s Florida Gold and some of the best fries I know were lunch almost every Friday. Jalapeno poppers (and a beer) are my favorite snacks in town.”
“Food is amazing as is the service!! Best people you will ever meet and you always feel welcome and at home. We come here often and have never once had a bad meal or bad service - to C Allison - we witnessed your tirade and your reported experience simply never happened. You were rude, impatient and lied about being a police officer and started taking photos of the manager when you were completely out of line and delusional. I truly hope you mean it when you say you won’t be back because no one wants to see you in this wonderful establishment again.”
“I am always greeted by a person happy to be there. Never have I felt like I was inconveniencing them. The atmosphere is fun and eclectic. I get Kratom and it is perfectly made every time.”
“They need better groceries. I wish I had taken a picture of the chocolate pie they tried to make me settle for! it was neither fresh nor in one piece. It never shld have been served to me! Leo gave me a hard time to boot.”
“I stopped in for a late morning coffee, and I had a lox bagel, which was perfectly made, generously stacked with very fresh ingredients. Service was excellent and prompt. I sat outside and enjoyed the peacefulness of the moment.The restroom was appropriately clean. Parking is plentiful. Needless to say, I highly recommend this place.”
“Absolutely loved the food here. Our server was great! She had some honest recommendations that really helped us narrow down our choices. So many things left still to try, we will be back!”
“Chase was an amazing server even under stress. I put 4 stars for service only because it was a little slow but they were understaffed . I appreciate the hard work of everyone this day”
“Walk or bike.. is great.. parking is a political City Council issue, everywhere, hate it.More of their Juice on 30th Ave N. If you get it 'on the go'..For a sit down, Socializing here downtown is a 5 star, and 30th is more of an in and out retail 5 star.Been a regular since they opened their first location. Im a believer is fresh squeezed veggies. Love Love Love Love LOVE IT!Hard working people here.. be kind and generous please. We need this product, the juices.”
“Mighty Fine We’ve been to the original Bavaro’s in Tampa and always enjoyed it. This was our first time to their St Pete location. I think it’s even better. The restaurant is buzzy and comfortable and not too large. The servers are great. Monica was our server and she was helpful, efficient and very pleasant. We started with a couple of house cocktails—a little pricey but very good. I especially liked the Smoked Rosemary Negroni Sour. We went on to share the Garlic Bread. I expected a few pieces, but this was more like a 12” pizza covered in butter and garlic and cheese accompanied by some of their delicious pomodoro. We took about half of it home. We also shared the Wood-fired Broccolini. Again, it was a surprisingly large order and super tasty. Next we shared a bowl of the Tomato Basil Soup which was excellent. Then we shared a very good Caesar Salad. That was followed by a delicious Penne ala Vodka with Chicken. We took some of that home as well. We took a jar of the Pomodoro home with us. I’m glad we finally found our way to St Pete’s Bavaro.”

“Come here all the time. We had a new Bartender (Lexi) just an unforgettable experience. She was on top of everything and catered to everything we needed. Was a 5 star restaurant in my opinion and she just raised the bar!”
“Amazing pizza. Italian style for sure. Best pizza I’ve had since moving to Florida in 2020. We drove down 100 miles from Ocala to try it. Barstool Pizza was on the money. We will be back again. Next time I will get a cheesesteak”

“First, I'm a Fl native so I know good seafood when it's in my plate! I've been coming to Leverock's for over 30+ years, cause the food is always fresh and prepared wonderfully every time I eat there. Weather I want linguine or fried shrimp, it's always great. The staff is always going out on the limb to make you satisfied. Great atmosphere for your family and friends to dine in.”

“Stuck between four and five stars, landed with four because we enjoyed social roost better and one of our meals was not prepared as ordered. Taste and quality of food was great.”
“Stopped in after a brief trip up from Sarasota- TBH only reason we did was because Portnoy had just recently rated the pizza a 7.7 ? I disagree- IMO it’s a solid 8! Good job Tony’s ?? the Greek salad was excellent too ?Vegetarian options: Vegetables on pizza and salads.”
“Such a great spot to chill with the gang. Great people watching on the “strip”, beautiful backdrop of the art museum lit up at night. We had a charcuterie board which was delightful and reasonably priced. My daughter, who only eats clean and whole, found lots of veggies on the menu. The wings were good and so were the truffle fries!”
“great ambiance the second you walk in..friendly staff and great service..absolutely amazing food and super healthy with a lot of body aiding herbs..and I just moved around the corner lucky me.”
“Food was good and the restaurant was clean. Two important things I look for. The kitchen was short handed but the waiter was good about keeping drinks full and multicolored chips were warm. I love their salsa not too spicy and chunky with fresh tomato and onion. My husband and I ordered the 25A combo: tostada, taco, and enchilada.Parking: We went during peak dinner hours and there are three different restaurants in this mini plaza. You might not be able to park very close to the restaurant depending on the time you go.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicapped parking and wheelchair accessible”
“Even though it was busy, the wait was bearable and the staff were more than accommodating. The food was reasonably priced and when combined with their online rewards, ALMOST at a discount.”

I highly suggest that!The Girl Scout Thin Mint pancakes were yummy!Parking: Shared parking lot with 2 other restaurants. The parking is behind the restaurants. There were plenty of open spaces Wednesday night.”
“Unusual to rate a fast food like McDonald's but this one deserves a five star. Food was hot, they didn't skimp on the bacon and the service was very personable. Very nice interior and well kept.”
“Recently renovated....nice open spacesService was excellent, always a pleasurable experience when I go to this mcdonalds. Staff is friendly and go out of their way to make sure I have everything I need. The food kudos to the ”
“Among the plethora of fast food choices, my McDonald's stands tall. Other options in my area are numerous, but they all are showing evidence of the economic conditions affecting quality labor scarcity these days. Thank you for maintaining your high standards for quality and service. For this reason, I drive by several competitors to go to my McDonald's.”
“Excellent service and they have the best Mocha frappes in Pinellas County. Sure wish Sam was still the manager . He was so nice and friendly and customers were always first . It’s a shame that he left or got fired . Best manager I’ve ever met at McDonald’s”

“As I walked in this morning into this sounds here in the South side I met a beautiful lady. Her name is Anna abi. She's the one of the managers here. What a good heart goes spirit. This lady is like gosh. Serving cares about the customers and the people. They should make more people like her here in the South side. Just McDonald's is in the South of Saint Petersburg. I should come down and say hello to her and she. She deserves more than 5 stars night. She's a great person, great spirit.”
“The African American male manager that was at the drive through window this morning really made my day and made me smile with his upbeat personality. We need more people like him in this world!”

Cafe Cibo
“Reserved for a party of 20 and they gave us the patio which was really nice. The service was okay, there were some moments where the server was rude to our guests and table cleanliness was subpar but overall the service was okay. Food was good, I had a calamari and mussels for an appetizer(mussels were better in my opinion) Caprese, carbonara and tiramisu. I would recommend for a dinner with a party of 6 or less.”
“This is our absolute favorite place to shop. Their health and wellness experts are not to be underestimated. The pollen is out in full force and they knew exactly what would help. No matter what you ask they seem to have answers. Also, I asked if they would carry a certain product and with zero hesitation they ordered it and it’s always there now. Top notch all around!”
“First, I'm a Fl native so I know good seafood when it's in my plate!

“If you're looking for a delicious and unique dish in St. Petersburg, FL, look no further than the Norwegian salmon and egg crepe at the Wooden Rooster. This exceptional dish combines the delicate flavors of smoked salmon and fluffy eggs inside a light and savory crepe. The salmon is perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of smokiness to complement the rich, buttery flavor of the eggs. The crepe itself is expertly crafted, with a tender texture and just enough thickness to hold the filling without overwhelming it. What sets this dish apart, however, is the creative twist on traditional Scandinavian flavors. The crepe is topped with a generous dollop of tangy crème fraîche and a sprinkle of fresh dill, which adds a bright, herbaceous note to the dish. The crepe is also served with a side of pickled cucumbers and red onions, which provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the salmon and eggs. The Wooden Rooster is known for its commitment to locally-sourced, sustainable ingredients, and this dish is no exception. The salmon is sourced from a nearby fishery, and the crepe is made with organic, non-GMO flour. The result is a dish that not only tastes amazing but also supports local farmers and fishermen. Overall, if you're in the St. Petersburg area and looking for a standout dish, the Norwegian salmon and egg crepe at the Wooden Rooster is a must-try. With its expertly balanced flavors and commitment to sustainable, locally-sourced ingredients, it's a dish that truly stands out from the crowd.”
“Met some friends here and we really enjoyed our meals. Nice location and solid atmosphere along with an impressive menu. Duck confit was very good as were the other dishes my party ordered. Food was served quickly and a variety of the staff filled water, cleaned empty dishes and overall worked as a team. Good vibes.”
“A well kept and bustling coffee shop, offering the consistently good flavors from the Kahwa Coffee chain. Located in an urban neighborhood of St. Pete, it feels relaxed and peaceful.”
“We called to have a rehearsal dinner last minute as the place we were going didn’t have indoor seating. I’m the 5 minutes it took us to get there - they had our table all set up! They were super friendly, fast and the food was DELICIOUS!!! Never had to wait more than 30 seconds when we needed something and they were always happy to help! I’d recommend to anyone!!!”
“I very much recommend the Empanadas. other than that; I'm not sure; the last two times we ordered delivery we were missing large portions of our order. The last order, we didn't get the Gloria Pastel or Guava Cheese Pastry that we paid for. The previous delivery, we tried to sample items other than empanadas, and they too failed to be delivered. I truly do love the empanadas, but caveat emptor.”
“Spring Garden is Amazing family food in a friendly diner. The staff has been here forever. I come every week or two for the same thing- pork chops, eggs, grits, toast. Never disappoints and is So consistent. Do you know how hard it is to make good pork chops?! If you need a solid meal from a solid family business for a fair price, I’ll see ya there.”
“Chase was an amazing server even under stress. I put 4 stars for service only because it was a little slow but they were understaffed . I appreciate the hard work of everyone this day”
“Used to go more often when I lived closer. Food is great, staff are very friendly, and they've got lots of comfortable outdoor seating. Great place to meet friends!”

Cafe Masala
“The only restaurant i know on this planet to try to talk me feom eating at their restaurant. The place has only 6 tables and two had customers. Her explanation was, we have too many take outs tonight. What i ordered for apps was Vegetable Pakora. Dinner I ordered Palak Paneer, Yellow Dal and Lamb Curry. drinks was water and Coke The vegetable pakora and sauce were exceptional. The spice was slight and fried just right that you can taste the vegetable. Palak Panner, was creamy and the spinach was succulent and melted in my mouth. The panner was an indian white cheese and to me it was flavorless. Yellow Dal was just what i expected, using the naan it was bitterly good. The lamb curry was the most outstanding with rice. The curry could been more spicy yet that was my fault for not asking. By the way, the food was served by a robot! i need to return again to come up with more solid reviews because i eaten too much to remember the event.”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“From entering to exiting, the staff was very friendly. Well seasoned and flavorful Mediterranean and seafood dishes. Busch Gardens tries to hide this place with their half-mile wall, but we made the trek anyway! In a sea of burgers and nuggets at the theme park, we wanted something better and this place hit the spot. Happy campers!”
“I wanted some chicken tenders and I didn't want to go far even though I'm surrounded by food places on 4th Street,so I decided to give Arby's a try since EVERYONE wants to have chicken something on their menu& to my surprise they were good& they made them fresh so I was happy & I'll go again. Thanks Arby's ?”
“To the nice eyed gentleman from the drive thru, your customer service skills are exceptional. I hope this establishment acknowledges that and takes care of you. The hospitality you exhibit is a rare characteristic in today’s society. Keep it up man! 5 stars because I couldn’t leave 4.6 :)!”
“Starbucks in St. Petersburg Florida and East Orlando area are all incredible, they listen to the customer and ensure that your order is to your liking. Tallahassee could do with a few lessons. I always order a drink while traveling through Tallahassee and it’s never correct. I know they are super busy but if I’m paying 5 or 6 dollars for coffee I should get it like I like it.”
“Fantastic service and food at this location. Waited only 4 mins for my chicken nuggets and was given a card for free nuggets on my next visit ! Super friendly staff.”
“I never usually have any issues with their food,, Besides 1 single time,, all of the eggs in my order ((which was six eggs)) had shells in them but they immediately replaced my entire order with no issues.”
“This Burger King location was extremely efficient in serving my order with a quality original chicken sandwich. The staff is very good and friendly. Most notably the store was extremely clean and well-maintained.That’s a member of AARP. I certainly enjoyed getting my fountain drink for $.50.”
“I always enjoy their breakfast!!! I go at least 2 days a week. The lines are really outrageous, and that stops me from going more often, but you can't hate when they are making their money!!! See, when you honor God, he blesses you 10 fold$$$$$”
“It was late at night when I got home and my order wasnt correct how ever after I told them they made it all fresh and I got a orange soda for the wait. The girl was still really nice to me even though I was frustrated. Fixed it & the food was still great �”
“My second time ever at a Chick-fil-A and first time ever having the tenders and BOOM! Hooked! Also, your team at this location was hands down the nicest people at any fast food establishment I have ever encountered. The folks at the drive through were pleasant, helpful and patient while the gentleman at the window was engaging and very entertaining! Too bad I just moved away...I'd go here more often!”
“Been to a few steak n shakes. This one was clean, food was fast and tasted amazing! Loved the strawberry shake. Didn't taste artificial like McDonald's. Service was friendly. Prices reasonable. Even a fun claw machine. I would return!”
“Ever since they opened the staff has been super nice! Complemented my shirt and all of us laughed through my silly/picky order and didn't stop till I left. ��”
“The last 4 or 5 times that I went to this location were the worst. They never acknowledged you and were slow. However, this time, it was a really pleasant experience. Whomever they have at the front was just plain ol nice and genuine. It was so lovely to have a nice human to human interaction especially when it's the only human interaction some of us get in a day. So, thank you to that Sandwich Connoisseur :) also, the food was a bit faster but, not yet back to being freaky fast. Either way, it feels like they are on the right track.”
“Never ate a sandwich from here before and it was really good! Bread and toppings were fresh and delicious. Lots of variety to choose from on the menu. Chip selection is great as a side. Friendly people working here too. Very clean place. Will definitely go back for a visit.”
“Love the breakfast here, guilty pleasure as it's the only fast food ill get... Today on my rare stop, they ran out of hashbrowns..but let me tell you. Steak breakfast crunch wrap with potatoes and two orders of Cinnabon bites to sub out the hashbrowns slapped harder than Will Smith and I hope they never have hashbrowns again.10/10.”
“Squeeze juice works is so local and cool. Their Kale Pesto open faced toast is delicious and healthy. They have amazing plant based food options. We had their plant based egg sandwich and it was phenomenal. It’s like a sausage egg and cheese except you don’t feel like a bloated truck driver after, you feel healthy and nourished. I haven’t tried their juices but I am excited to try some next time. Definitely check this hidden gem out. It’s right next to body electric yoga so it’s a great post workout stop. And they are a lot more than just juice! Also my husband loves their cold brew.”

“I am an employee here but I must say the team is wonderful to work with. Prices are awesome and I love the art gallery vibes! If you've never been, I highly recommend a visit! They are often having special promotions or events that change daily so keep checking back! If you're an artist, there's a possibility you could showcase your art here as well and sell it. :)”
“Excellent food with outrageous portions. Service was top notch. Around enough to anticipate what you need but didn't harass you. Looked like it was going to be a long wait but they turn tables pretty quickly. Waited less than 10 minutes. Will most certainly be back when on this side of the bay!!”
“Highly recommend if you enjoy real Italian style pizza. Reminded me of pizza I had in Venice. Ordered a pizza with prosciutto and arugula and it was fantastic! Definitely better than any 'chain stores pizza.”
“At this family run restaurant the food is fantastic and portions are large. This is takeout service only, you may call ahead and it is not cash only now they accept credit cards. There is additional parking in the back from the East Side ”
“Absolutely the best �, and stromboli. We love the friendliness here. Never cease to amaze. You also need to try the Cannolis. Reasonable price and homemade goodness.”
“Excellent Che dessert. The banh mi wasn’t the best. There wasn’t enough meat and too much pickled veggies and no magi sauce. Very nice space tho so I will give it another try next time I’m up in st. Pete.”
“We stepped in for a bit to cool down from the heat outside so it was a short trip but wanted to shout out the BFC - big f***ing cookie! This thing was HUGE! Massive gooey warm cookie still bubbling in the skillet with 3 scoops of ice cream. The others in my group ordered frozen drinks for the same price ($10) but this BFC was definitely a DD win! I don't drink and we didn't order anything else so my review is pretty limited, but that cookie gets an easy 5 stars from me.”
“Best sub shop in town remind me of back home in BostonKid-friendliness: My kids was running around and the owner was so nice about itWheelchair accessibility: Yes”
“Excellent food, served hot in a wonderful atmosphere. It's so nice to be able to sit outside and eat and enjoy the breeze near the outdoor bar. Good music playing at just the right volume with a baseball on the TV over the bar. We all loved it.”
“I love this place so much. I’ve been going here for years. And I always get the same thing… The turkey fig sandwich.It’s a really tiny spot with only a few tables inside and a few outside. Great location, amazing food, and just great vibes with the people working inside. You can’t go wrong with anything hereThe only downside is, they’re not always open and that’s really disappointing when you’re in the mood for something special and they are closed lol”
“Great food and prices! I ordered chef salad. I can honestly say that the salad they made was better than salads I've paid 5x as much for at high end restaurants! Glad I found them!”

“BEST CUBAN SANDWICHMy first time in this restaurant, and I am glad I stopped to have a bit to eat. Their Cuban sandwich does not disappoint. I will come back here next time in St. Petersburg, FL.”
“It's good. 4 of us got food 4 of us liked food. I'm a little confused by the negative reviews here. I was on the lookout for a lot of the negativity I saw in other reviews and honestly none of us 4 experienced what was upsetting some reviewers. For example, there was a complaint in other reviews it was gelatinous; this was no more gelatinous than other Chinese food I've had. I'm not sure really how Orange Chicken wouldn't be? The reviews that say the spice is real are correct! I was so happy to get something spicy in Pinellas County, so much of what's labeled "Hot" is mild. Will order here again.”

“I very much recommend the Empanadas. other than that; I'm not sure; the last two times we ordered delivery we were missing large portions of our order. The last order, we didn't get the Gloria Pastel or Guava Cheese Pastry that we paid for. The previous delivery, we tried to sample items other than empanadas, and they too failed to be delivered. I truly do love the empanadas, but caveat emptor.”
