The 20 best spots for salad in St. Petersburg

Gratzzi Italian Grille is an incredible gem in downtown St. Pete's that is a "must experience" with the Italian vibe it offers. Parking would initially be thought of as an issue in this downtown area, but it actually isn't at all. There's various low cost safe parking options within walking distance. As of the Italian vibe Gratzzi Italian Grille offers, it's top shelf from the restaurant fixtures, atmosphere, and of course the menu. The staff was courteous, attentive and responsive which added to the incredible dining experience. I would recommend either sitting at the bar or getting a table indoor or outdoor. If you need a suggestion for wait staff, I would recommend JoLynn. Now for the food. The menu has an incredible variety of appetizers and entrees. I would recommend the Lasagna or Spaghetti and Meatballs for entrees. They are large healthy portions so be prepared. Gratzzi Italian Grille is definitely a restaurant that I will be returning to to work through the menu.

We came in as a large party and even with a reservation we waited a while to be seated. For appetizers we had mussels, salmon and shrimp. The mussels and salmon were just okay but the shrimp was delicious thanks to the red sauce. Anything with the red sauce was great but everything else was average. The drinks were weak and lacked alcohol. For entrees we ordered several pastas and once again the red sauce dishes were the best. Overall it was an okay visit. The service was friendly and attentive.

Nice atmosphere and presentation of the food. Maybe it was the food we got but it was nothing to write home about except the house salad was very good especially the vinaigrette. The lasagna was bland, the spezzatino risotto was ok, had a little heat. The homemade bread they served was fine and served with oil which was just bland.

We got the calamari to start off with, and I would recommend it for those that like fried appetizers. The sauces that came with it were marinara and some sort of butter and red pepper sauce. Me personally, I didn’t really find it to my liking since they made a twist to the marinara sauce. For our entrees we got the cast iron ribeye and the spezzatino italiano which is risotto with braised pork. Highly recommend they go easy with the salt because ours was really salty. That was the only part that I didn’t enjoy. For the ribeye, it was salty as well and it did come with a tomato paste sauce so if you don’t want that I would ask for a substitution. The veggies seem a little undercooked so for those that like to bite into something soft I would ask them to cook them for longer than usual. Service was great though and environment was lively.

Four of us for special occasion. Had reservations. Atmosphere was nice. Started out well. And then it went south. Extremely high priced for the disappointing food. Stuffed rigatoni in vodka sauce was beyond over salted. Changed it for cavatelli pesto. One note flavor, no goat cheese, couldn’t tell pasta from chicken. SWIMMING in oil. Husbands dish arrived barely room temperature and what should have been a lovely 2 hour (max) dinner was almost 3.5 hours due to who knows what. I added extra star for the duck and the tiramisu. The steak tartare was flavorful but could have done without the truffle flavor SO disappointing. I came back on edit - our server did keep our water glasses topped off which is a plus.

My friend, who is a restaurateur, always says: pay attention to the salt and pepper shakers, the menu, and the restrooms. If a restaurant can’t get these three basics right, it usually means they don’t care much about the food either. Here, they managed to hit the full bingo: dirty shakers, worn-out and shabby menus, and run-down restrooms, and also layers of dust all around the place. Now, about the food: Pappardelle Alfredo with shrimps- Delicious, freshly made pasta with a nice, balanced sauce. A good portion of shrimp, which were tender and well-cooked. Cavatelli al pesto- No trace of pesto flavor. Instead, it was overloaded with cream, butter, and cheese. The pasta was practically swimming in grease. Steak tartare- Sourish taste with an unusually dense texture. I was expecting a delicate tartare, not something resembling a raw burger patty. On top, they placed a hot fried egg, which actually started cooking the top layer of the meat. The flavor of the beef itself was completely lost under all the other ingredients. Tuna tartare- Same problem: the sauce overwhelmed the taste of the fish entirely. Pasta Bolognese- The tomato paste flavor dominated everything else. Correct me if I’m wrong, but a sauce should complement a dish, not drown out the main ingredient.

Gratzzi is a pure gem. The food is simply incredible. The vibe is warm and cozy, it feels like your Italian grandma’s house (if she had a her own wine cellar). And shoutout to Tommy, hands down one of the best servers we’ve ever had. Super professional, polite, friendly. He made our whole night even better. Go. Eat. Ask for Tommy. You’ll love it.

I had a great experience there during the week dinner time. Got in easily and quickly- lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Staff were super friendly. The food is delicious and well priced.

The Stillwaters Tavern is a "must experience" restaurant if you are anywhere near St Petersburg Pier. Staff was professional, courteous and responsive. The menu offers various option with large portions, so plan accordingly. One thing about the Stillwaters Tavern is the outdoor dinner option. If you get a chance, I'd recommend dining outside for brunch.

Sat outside and experience the vibrancy of downtown Saint Pete on a Saturday night. Our server was lovey and did a great job making recommendations for drinks and food. I had the salmon and my husband had the fish and chips. He said the fish was too bready, but overall not bad.

Probably our favorite restaurant in St. Petersburg. Ate here several times and it never disappoints. Menu has so many great flavor profiles and the Brunch Specials are well worth the weekend visit. Service is fast and Kaysha was very attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. Highly recommend this restaurant with any visit to downtown.

We stopped in on a very hot day. I enjoyed a drink called #8. It was absolutely delicious. I could have had many...it was frothy and tasty. My husband enjoy a beer.. many great beers on tap to choose from. I also had the Birria Grilled Cheese! It was served with au jus but little like a brown gravy to dip in and it was quite perfect. The house salad came with nuts and cheese and was fantastic. My husband absolutely loved his medium Tavern burger. We look forward to making the drive back to try many things on thier menu!

Bring your patience as the servers are super busy especially dining in during brunch on Sunday but it’ll be worth it. We sat in the booth which was tight for our party of 5, the space between booth and table is odd and there’s no way to move either, I’m honestly not sure how a larger/taller person would fit comfortably as I felt almost claustrophobic, imo, a table and chairs next time. Moving on to the delicious food, we enjoyed 3 shared appetizers: the house made sausage board w/ 4 interesting dips are outstanding(though I wish they were sliced instead of whole, tricky to cut each one in a tight space), the soft, warm pretzels are also a fan favorite w/ the creamy, beer cheese of deliciousness and lastly smooth deviled eggs w/ zesty pickled jalapeño. Out of our 4(we split one meal) dishes, the only thing we’d skip was the BEC on cold, rubbery waffles w/ a side of (maybe?) underwhelming hash brown pile of mush. All of our cocktails were great, water was constantly filled and our server Brittana was great. Highly recommend stopping in, make a reservation though for indoor seating.

Visited on a Saturday night with a friend while visiting in town and we were able to be seated relatively quickly in their outdoor tented setup. Service was attentive and friendly while the ambiance was relaxed while fun for people watching. We ordered the Mac and cheese as a side and a sandwich alongside the salmon. Everything was so delicious and well balanced in flavor and portion. Would definitely seek to return and recommend!

My husband and I were on our way to sunken Gardens and saw this place while at a red light. We immediately looked it up and thought the food looked yummy. We decided to check it out after going to sunken Gardens, which is about seven minutes away. This is a brunch/lunch place. It was not too big, but had a bit more seating than I was expecting from the outside. Great atmosphere. We ordered the grit fritters, breakfast, pizza, and beef eggs Benedict, can’t remember the actual names of these items. All of them were good, but nothing that will bring us back- 40 min away from where we live- a second time. In our opinion, the food looks better than it actually taste but with that being said this is still somewhere I would recommend someone to try. They had a great selection of foods that were breakfast and lunch . They had some really good deals on drinks including $2 mimosas! We arrived at 11am on a Saturday and even though it looked packed we were sat right away. Overall glad we tried it.

Catherine, our wonderful waitress spotted our fresh off the plane faces instantly and was happy to provide us with recommendations, she was very attentive and helpful. We were blown away by the food. First, the biscuit beignets were amazing, like an airy donut with perfect filling. Then came these deliciously lemony ricotta pancakes, moist, fluffy, and flavorful paired with fresh and sweet blueberries. The Southern bennies had excellent fried green tomatoes that were slightly tart and paired well with the saltiness of the ham and sweetness of the poached eggs. Everything was amazing, it's been hard to top our first experience in the Tampa region, we're probably going to come back one more time before heading back.

I’ve been here for both brunch and dinner on numerous occasions. The food is always consistent and delicious. They often change up their menu but retain their staples, keeping the options interesting and diversified. Love the rustic farmhouse ambience. Had the Chicken Marsala with a Chardonnay to pair. Also had a love of lavender cocktail off the happy hour menu. Our lovely server convinced us to try the coconut cream pie for dessert. Well worth the extra 5 pounds! Food and service perfect and exceeding expectations.

service was excellent. Its a nice place, BUT: the food was just okay. the best thing we had was the cocktails and the tomato/burrata starter. the fried rice balls on tomato sauce are okay but nothing i would order again. and the pizza was not great. the crust was too hard, and also they put a lot of parmesan cheese on top. we still had a good time, but we left a little disappointed.

Absolutely love Noble Crust — both for brunch and dinner. The cocktails are some of the best in town, and I’ve never had a bad meal here. Huge brunch menu (with lunch-style options too) and a great dinner selection. Favorite brunch dishes are the Chicken Biscuit and the Southern Benny!!

I had a great experience at Noble Crust! First off, shoutout to our server Michael—he was awesome. Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. What really blew my mind was how fast everything came out. The restaurant was packed, and we still got our food in about 15 minutes. That kind of speed and efficiency is rare, especially without sacrificing quality. Here’s what I tried: • Espresso Martini – 8/10 Really solid! Smooth, strong, and not too sweet. • Fried Green Tomato App – 6/10 Loved the idea, but the pork belly was a little tough for my taste. • Margherita Pizza – 6/10 The dough was great—nice texture and chew—but the red sauce just didn’t hit the mark for me. • Steak & Frites – 6/10 The steak was okay, nothing memorable, but the truffle fries were phenomenal. The Caesar salad on the side was forgettable, but not bad. Even though some of the dishes didn’t totally wow me, the overall vibe, great service, and speed of the kitchen definitely make me want to come back and try more. There’s a lot of potential here and I’d love to explore more of the menu!

We stopped in for brunch today and highly recommend it! The highlight was the outstanding service from Will—this was our first visit, and he was one of the best servers we’ve ever had. He was knowledgeable about the menu and incredibly helpful throughout. The food was delicious, and we’ll definitely be returning!

Large portion sizes, wonderfully flavored burger/ sandwiches, and decently priced. I ordered a black and blue with sweet potato fries and it hit the spot after a long day of travel and not eating much during the day. I love that they're open late on weekdays! Service was great! Only downside is they could season their housemade chips better. 8/10. Would come back to try more on their food menu! The place is small on the inside. Feels like a small dinerish bar.

I was on the hunt for an impossible burger, and this place was exactly what I needed! The impossible burger was delicious, and I got tater tots with it, which was perfection. The atmosphere is super laid back, and the service was very nice and quick. Definitely recommend for vegetarians and not! Also, the dollar bills all over the restaurant is super fun.

Delicious food and great beer. Only one worker but he was very good. Got our food fast. Chicken and waffle was delicious. Was able to sit outside.

My new favorite burger joint! 5oz Black Angus burger w American cheese and grilled onions. Yummo!

Cozy place to get your comfort food and great hole in the wall place. The font on the menu was retro for a dead giveaway that the food would be good.

A staple of down town st pete. This restaurant takes burgers to the next level. Normally I go for the gyro burger however I went big this time with the double bacon grilled cheese burger. Flavors are always on point and service is quick and check in often. Smaller restaurant but they have indoor and outdoor seating.

Found this place almost by accident. If you dont know, you need to go. Great prices, great food and great service. That is a rare find these days. Than you for having me.

I love this place for the view and that’s pretty much about it. We had a reservation and they still made us wait about 20 minutes so unfortunately we missed the sunset at our table which we planned for. We also ordered drinks and the drinks took so long to come to the table that we ordered appetizers finish appetizers and they cleared our plates. Service definitely mediocre was never around. We had the flag him down for everything. The food was decent and tasting. If you’re looking for dessert, I love their bread pudding. I would definitely recommend that! I would honestly go eat somewhere else. Come here for a sunset with a dessert on the table.

We had the pleasure of dining at Teak on the Pier in St. Petersburg on Saturday evening, and our server, Geoffrey, made the experience absolutely outstanding. From the warm greeting at the start to our exit at the end, Geoffrey was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. He gave excellent menu suggestions, explained dishes thoroughly, and even helped us narrow down choices when we couldn’t decide. What stood out most was how thoughtful he was with my daughter—offering age-appropriate recommendations and ensuring she had just as great of an experience as the adults at the table. With Geoffrey’s guidance, we enjoyed a variety of dishes, including the crab cakes, pineapple fried rice, mac and cheese, chicken bites and fries, scallops with risotto, and the snapper. Everything was amazing, and we all found ourselves sampling each other’s meals because everything looked (and tasted) so good. The espresso martini and Florida Breeze spritzer were also delicious and perfectly crafted. Geoffrey’s recommendations and service have us looking forward to returning to Teak to try even more of the menu. He is truly a gem, and we would be thrilled to be served by him again. Highly recommend both Teak and Jeffrey for anyone looking for a great dining experience in St. Pete!

We were celebrating our 14th anniversary and Geoffrey! Geoffrey! Geoffrey! We can't say enough about him! Very informative and helpful when choosing something to eat. We read so many reviews about him and we're so excited to have him as our server. Atmosphere was amazing and beautiful scenery. Food was excellent. We have the duck rolls, grouper, and short ribs. The 24 carrot was an amazing drink! Hubby had the disappearing act whiskey drink it was amazing as well! Will definitely be coming back when we are in town.

This was our second visit to Teak — the first time, we had a rough experience with the service, but thankfully this time was much better. We were one of only two tables there for lunch, so the service was attentive and smooth. The food was good overall. The highlight was absolutely the smash burger — my girlfriend said it was the best burger she’s ever had, and she’s had one from a Gordon Ramsay restaurant. She takes her burgers seriously, so that’s saying a lot. The sweet potato fries were the runner up to the smash burger, absolutely delicious! The coconut shrimp was alright, and the ciabatta chicken sandwich was tasty. And of course, the view is amazing.

The service is amazing!! The quality of the food I’m really impressed. We order the yuca bites, as Puertorrican I have high expectations on any yuca plate. This one was amazing. Luke was our server and he knows everything about the menu and good recommendations. He made the experience great. Ask for him if you decided to come and have a great time at the Teak & Pier Teaki.

Teak was phenomenal! Our server, Geoffrey made our Anniversary so special. His recommendations were amazing and the atmosphere was beautiful! We can’t wait to come back again very soon!

It is a beautiful restaurant and we had a very good time. Our waiter Aaron was quite good and Alex, the manager came and personally checked up on us. Some of the food items were extremely good, For example the duck rolls and desserts. we had wonderful drinks. In fact I ordered two cocktails, which is unusual for me. The entrées were good, but we think a little overpriced. Scallops were generous and cooked well. I had catch up the day which had an interesting topping and a purée. I also had a beet salad. I thought the salad should’ve had more beets, and my companions had to order extra salad dressing for theirs. Overall, I recommended it’s just a gorgeous setting and I think you’ll have a good time

First time here and definitely coming back! Staff was friendly and attentive. The food was amazing, fresh and quick. Not pictured are the delicious potato skins. Also an unexpected perk was the affordable pricing!

The Bier Boutique is a great place to go to enjoy your afternoon or evening. It has a great vibe and excellent customer service. Our server was outstanding and the whole staff makes you feel welcomed and that they appreciate your patronage. We started with the chili and enjoyed it. We both ordered bison burgers and they tasted amazing. It's a great establishment, and we will return.

My mom and I had an amazing experience at The Bier Boutique in St. Pete! 🍻 From the moment we walked in, the vibe was warm, modern, and inviting. The atmosphere is cozy yet energetic, with a great selection of beers on tap and a cool design that makes you want to hang out for hours. A special shoutout to Evan, our server — he was fantastic! 🙌 Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, he made sure we were well taken care of the entire time. His recommendations were spot on, and his energy made the meal even more enjoyable. The food was excellent — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired with the drinks. We especially loved the shareable appetizers (crispy, flavorful, and gone too fast 😋). Overall, a perfect afternoon out. Highly recommend The Bier Boutique if you’re in St. Pete and want great food, great drinks, and service that makes you feel right at home. We’ll definitely be back! — Vince

Pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. I don't drink, but they had a large selection of NA beers. Staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. And the atmosphere was very laid back, and cool. Parking is said to be a problem but we were able to find one within half a block. You can park anywhere around the lake across the street. It was our first time there but we will be back.

The pork belly appetizer is amazing. The tots are fresh made, and are not from frozen. Highly recommend the tots. Bison burgers are next level and definitely not something you can get at every other restaurant. Well worth the upgrade to get a side of tots with the burger. Parking can be limited, but don't let that deter from the really good and fresh food at this place.

The food was really good. It is also an Ohio State bar. I am not a fan but the vibe was really good. The view is into a park with ducks and a pond. Good drinks and beer

I had the fried chicken breakfast Sammy which was really good value for the cost and serving. The only downside is its only available on Mondays. Really good brunch option if you don't want the sweet alternative of chicken and waffles which is what my daughter enjoyed having.

Good was really good. Unpretentious presentation. Feels like the Chipotle-version of a non-Mexican food restaurant. You can ask a staffer for help in ordering. They are very friendly and helpful in getting started There are a few options that you pay extra for that allow you to mostly get it all prepared without picking every aspect. But I do suggest trying the restaurant in-that the food is really good, even if it takes a little getting used to in the ordering. Not a lot of places to sit inside, but they have both and it is the store inside areas in the adjacent plaza area, and and outside patio on the sidewalk is it's a pretty day. But again, as I've indicated, the draw here isn't the environment of the establishment, it is the locally sourced food. Very good. Well be going back next chance we get into St Pete to try various mixes and matches.

I had a great experience at Fresh Kitchen! The food was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and made with high-quality ingredients. I loved the variety of options, making it easy to build a delicious and healthy meal. The atmosphere was clean and welcoming, perfect for a quick bite or a casual meal. A special shoutout to Aaron, who provided outstanding service! He was friendly, attentive, and made sure my order was perfect. It’s always great to see staff who genuinely care about the customer experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend Fresh Kitchen to anyone looking for a tasty, healthy, and fast meal!

A bowl place with excellent food choices and patient, friendly service. The broccoli side is crunchy and acidic, the kale salad is lighter than most, the mac&cheese convinced me with its creaminess and crust (although the cheese flavor was closer to Annie's than to real cheese) the tomato, bell pepper salad had bread pieces in it that surprised me and weren't my favorite, the quinoa had a flavor that was strange and not pleasing to my palate, and the oyster mushrooms were good but I would have liked more vegetarian choices as a main. The place didn't have AC but the tables in the adjacent, enclosed hallway are climatised.

There’s not too many choices of restaurants for me to go to anymore because of my dietary restrictions so this place caught my eye. It reminds me of an upscale FK Kitchen. I’ve visited the Tampa location before and the food was pretty good, I enjoyed it. My partner had the Mac and cheese that time and we noticed it was pretty salty. I thought maybe the cook had a heavy hand that day. This time at the St Pete location, everything was extra salty, I couldn’t really enjoy my meal because I couldn’t even taste the food, just salt. It was kinda disappointing because I know the food would have been really good without all that salt. I wonder if I can ask for my food to be prepared with less salt because if so I would definitely go back to this place, but if not, I’d have to pass.

I had a great experience at Naked Farmer! You get to choose from a base like quinoa, greens and more. From there, you get to choose a few sides and a protein. This restaurant is located right in downtown. It has indoor and outdoor seating. When you walk into the restaurant, you’ll smell the aroma of the delicious foods, right away. overall, I enjoyed my experience here. The portion sizes were quite large, and I had plenty of food for leftovers the next day. Shout out to James and Madison for the great customer service! I will definitely be back! There is street parking or garage parking available.

Amazing gluten free options available on the menu. Yesterday I have the Market Kale Salad a spring time special and today I opted for the Protein Plate. Amazing flavour and made right in front of you. Highly recommend to all.

Derek is an excellent cashier! He’s always friendly, efficient, and professional. He greets every customer with a warm smile and handles transactions quickly and accurately. His positive attitude makes the dining experience even better. It’s clear that he cares about great customer service. Keep up the great work, Derek!

Here for breakfast, the drink menu is impressive. The food is good, except the croissant bun for the sandwich is a miss for me. It is dry and has no butter taste. The meat sandwich is generous. As for the drink, the latte is excellent, but the tea has no taste.

Super cute comfortable atmosphere. The bar staff is amazing! Food is amazing. I love this place. I’ll definitely be back! Also loco coco is so gooood.

Loved the vibe of this little spot. Tostones had great flavor, got the tapas with shrimp and then enjoyed their version of a surf and turf called “reef & beef”. Steak was tender and well seasoned and the coconut shrimp were great. Really enjoyed the dipping sauce and the hibiscus sour mocktail was delicious. The Cajun fries we ordered needed more seasoning. The service was friendly and quick, we’ll definitely be back.

It’s a pretty big difference of what their online menu offers vs what their actual menu offered. I wanted to get truffle scallops and yucca croquettes however neither were available. My husband got the steak frites however the online image is different than what he got (see images). I ordered an appetizer of maduros which delicious but small quantity or less than I was expecting since it looks like a side portion which was half the price. I liked my hibiscus mocktail a lot. The staff were kind and accommodating. There is limited free street parking nearby. Overall seems more of a drink spot.

This was my first time here and honestly, the service wasn’t the best. When we asked our waiter what he recommended (since it was our first visit), he had no clue and just said, “It depends what you’re in the mood for.” The menu isn’t big, so I found that unhelpful. We ordered an appetizer that never came out, and when we asked about it, he said he’s been “running all over the place,” which is a wild excuse.. I did try their summer drink special, the lemon lychee, and it was actually really good. I wanted to try the Mai Tai as well, but by the time I was able to flag the waiter down, I no longer wanted it. What saved half the experience was my jerk chicken bc it was truly amazing and tasted authentic. However, the Cajun shrimp was just meh… nothing to rave about. Overall, the food was a mixed bag and the service left a lot to be desired.

Great service and fun drinks! The bathrooms were clean and the restaurant had a great ambiance. The bartenders were nice and friendly. Definitely recommend stopping by! We had a mojito and Bombay Breeze

The food was exceptional. We started with the tostones with pork, which were perfectly crunchy and packed with flavor—I absolutely loved them. The steak was tender, well-seasoned, and cooked to perfection. To top it off, we had churros for dessert, and they were some of the best I’ve had in a long time—fresh, crispy, and simply delicious. Almost forgot, the espresso martini was perfectly blended and so delicious! I’ll definitely be back!

Absolutely love this coffee shop. The owner is really nice and welcoming, I love the music they play, everything about the coffee mill is 10/10 for me! The coffee flavors & options are all delicious and way better than majority of chain coffee options. Definitely recommend to all coffee & brunch lovers ! They also sell cute cups, knitted coasters and more.

The place is amazingly cute inside, the iced coffee was absolutely delicious as well as the pastries. The barista was extremely nice and attentive. Also, big plus with the tables outside where we sat and enjoyed everything. This would definitely be a regular coffee shop for us if we didn't live 1200 miles away. We'll be back here for sure on our next visit to town.

Stopped in for a quick coffee, and I was pleasantly surprised! I had the banana bread infused coffee, iced, with heavy whipping cream. Tasty and not sweet—just how I like it. The bacon, egg and cheese croissant was made to order and had the best cheese and most flaky, buttery croissant. So good! The atmosphere is very welcoming, with cute decor and cozy seating inside and out, though I sat at the bar. I will be back for sure.

Such a gem! ✨ Cozy vibes, beautifully crafted drinks, and the perfect spot to relax or catch up with a friend. Feels fancy without being fussy — love it here! ☕💛 Featuring a cute place for kiddos.

The lady serving me was superrrr kind and I loved my matcha latte ! The gentleman in the back bringing out food for my friends was also extremely kind ! The environment was also super clean and welcoming. Will definitely be coming back !

Love the food, especially the corner kid section. Such homie feels. The owner is especially nice and the Baristas are great to deal with. The food is above and beyond with health kept in the utmost regards. The new chef is a master, it’s like poetry dazzled all over the shop. Thank you for the gift of “The Coffee Mill” to Largo. Definitely recommend. Pleased to do business with this establishment.

The good parts: The shop is small but quaint with a small children's play area in the corner. The parking was plentiful, and the shop would be easy to access for someone with mobility issues who needed a wheelchair for example. There are no stairs. The shop offers a number of pastries, food options and (I've read) ice cream choices. The bad parts: The shop is hard to find unless you are a local and simply know where it is or are using google maps specifically to find it. The day I went their kitchen was closed due to the cook being absent, so I can't speak to how good the food might be. I seen nothing advertising the availability of the ice cream (which is a shame as I'm a big ice cream fan). I tried one of the muffins (lemon blueberry?) and found it to be simply "ok". The Barista preparing my coffee was abrupt and gave the impression she did not want to be there. Of the three coffees she made for us, two of them were so sweet they could not be drank by anyone in our party. I took the drinks back and politely asked her for a rebuild and explained what the issue was. Instead of a simple "thanks for letting me know, I'll get to you in a moment" she got offended that I'd had the nerve to ask! I was expecting she would finish with her current order and then work on my rebuild. Pretty standard for most coffee shops right? Nope! She pushed my rebuild to the very end of the line even as new customers were still coming in (my order was getting pushed back further and further). After about 15 minutes of watching her do this repeatedly we simply left. $30 and one decent drink to show for it. We will not be back.

Ordered the Rib Dinner ($15) at Big C's Barbecue on 9th Street in St. Petersburg. Small place with a few tables and limited parking but mostly take-out. Ribs were tender, moist and juicy. The sauce was a tangy sweet yellow that was a perfect mix. Dinner came with yams and a crab salad that were both good, not exceptional, but the ribs were delicious. Friendly lady at the counter (Camora) was very helpful and nice. Not a huge portion and this hungry man ate every bite for lunch. This is the kind of local, small, quality food place that is a pleasure to visit and recognize. I highly recommend the food I ate and will return. Delicious!

Oh my God first time going there yesterday man that food was so good I had barbecue chicken and you get so much and I had baked beans and macaroni cheese and a slice of red velvet cake oh my God I'm on my way there tonight to eat again and all of that one but $12 now where the hell you going to get all of that from and you get a large portion so you know I'm about to eat them again. Driving all the way from Tampa to get it even though it's across the bridge but I don't mind driving over here to get that barbecue that's how good it was last night and boom about the heat it again tonight

This place is darn delicious! I polished off my whole plate of rib dinner with mac and green beans. So much flavor and the meat was falling off the bone! Sides were so tasty. Big portions with a good price and nice folks at the counter and kitchen. Definitely coming back! Thanks Big Cs. Wish I would have taken a photo but I dug in too fast.

Big Cs in really good in a city that isn't bursting with standout BBQ. Big Cs is up there with the handful of legit spots with great BBQ. I get chopped beef and my wife gets ribs. Both are always delicious. Service is fast and friendly. Highly recommend if you're looking for real BBQ in St Pete

Excellent BBQ. The BF got the ribs and he couldn't stop moaning and groaning how good it was while stuffing his face. Rids are so tender...fall off the bone!!! I got the 5.00 chicken and its definitely the very best I've ever had! So tender and flavorful. We will be back!

I was born and raised in west Texas. 98.9 of the BBQ places in Florida are hot garbage. Not this place. It was absolutely 💯 🔥. The sauce was better than my absolutely favorite sauce. Outstanding job. If you know good BBQ, give them a try.

We love Big C’s!! Everything we’ve eaten (everything!!) has been fantastic. Service is old school friendly; a true neighborhood go to restaurant. Portion size incredible especially for the price. Main, two sides and can of soda: $15.00!! But the quality really sets this gem apart. Run, don’t walk, to Big C’s.

Lajawab Indian Cuisine is absolutely outstanding! From the moment you walk in, the staff greet you with warm smiles and genuine hospitality, making you feel instantly welcome. The food is phenomenal—every dish is bursting with authentic flavors, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. The curries are rich and aromatic, the naan is fresh and fluffy, and the tandoori selections are cooked to perfection. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the menu offers a great variety to please everyone, whether you like mild or extra spicy. The atmosphere is cozy yet vibrant, making it perfect for both casual dinners and special occasions. Service is attentive without being rushed, and they are always happy to explain dishes or make recommendations. Each visit has been consistently excellent, and it’s clear the team takes pride in every detail. Truly one of the best Indian restaurants around—highly recommend!

Tried a new Indian place and so glad we did. Service was awesome. Very well decorated and clean. The food is very flavorful and delicious! Do not skip dessert! Rasmalai mango mousse was extremely delicious and refreshing! Will definitely be back.

Soooo delicious! You know that feeling when the food is so good, and despite being stuffed, you can’t stop eating the yummy flavors? That’s what will happen for you at this place! My favorite was the appetizer called Aloo Chana Chaat. Presentation was gorgeous and tasted equally delicious. Hubby had the coconut Mushroom Curry which was rich and divine. I had the Dal Tadka which was good but I had to keep sneaking bites of hubby’s order. Too tempting of flavors! Btw, I’m gluten free and vegan and there were many options to choose from! Bobby was our waiter and gave terrific ideas about what to eat.

Absolutely great — my favorite Indian restaurant in St. Pete! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh spices hits you — it’s warm, welcoming, and instantly appetizing. I ordered the seafood curry with coconut milk, and it was absolutely incredible. Rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced — you can tell everything is made with care and authenticity. The staff was super friendly and attentive, and the entire vibe of the place feels like a slice of India right here in town. It’s clear they take pride in both the food and the experience. I live just 10 minutes away and I’m honestly so glad I found this spot — it’s going to be my go-to for Indian takeout. If you’re in Saint Pete and craving something authentic and satisfying, this is the place to go. Highly recommend! 🌶️🍛🔥

Delicious and somewhat hidden gem of a restaurant with the best and most authentic Indian food in the St. Pete area. Have been here four times and each experience has fully met expectations. Staff is very friendly and fully knowledgeable on all the dishes, spices, and "heat" levels. Whether you desire vegetarian or meat, selections are varied and ample among all categories. The curries, masalas and vindaloo are savory and exquisite dishes regardless of what you choose. Two notes; food is authentically cooked to order so be patient, these are not pre-made pans sitting on warming tables. And it can get crowded as the early evening arrives so consider when you want to dine. We are returning again this week!

Had a wonderful dining experience with great food and excellent service. Indian style lamb chops,, chili paneer, chili garlic naan, cream cheese naan and butter chicken for just a few were to die for.

Very busy when first opened, but at least now able to get table to try them out. The food is on par with other Indian Restaurant. Not fantastic but not bad. Update: 8/2025 Food is still great and tasty. Portion is big. However, the Paratha was crunchy rather than chewy and the price is higher than at other places.

YOUSRA provided excellent service and attention. We started off with un peu de toit, a little bit of tabouleh, falafel, labnah, hummus and obviously fresh made pita. Excellent flavors esp falafel. The Mediterranean salad was excellent preparation and just the right amount of light dressing. And we topped it with grilled tender sirloin. The yellow rice and seasoned chicken was absolutely delish! The mint tea came brewed in a clear pot made with fresh mint. Accessible entry with accessible tables. Decorated accessible restroom with 2 grab bars and 5ftx 6ft space Free van accessible parking with ramp entrance in lot shared with one other venue

Came here craving some Mediterranean food and it did not disappoint. The falafel was fried very well, not left super dry. The entree platters were both good, with the beef kabob excelling. Great cut of meat, super tender and with a ton of flavor, and juicy. The chicken shawarma was good, but the beef kabob definitely blew it out of the park. Paired with a refreshing salad, and the side of rice was also good. Would come back for a date night.

Great little spot on 5th. The food and service were both excellent. Being your own wine, no corkage fee. I really enjoyed the chicken shawarma and the egg roll appetizer. The homemade desserts were a nice finish especially the chocolate cheesecake. The staff was lovely, we wish them all the success!

This place was a hidden treasure! The food and service were incredible. The chicken shawarma was amazing and came with this insanely good garlic sauce. The wait staff was very attentive. You can bring your own wine to drink which is nice and they provide the glasses for you. I will definitely be back! Give this place a try!

I had been looking forward to coming to Cybel for some time, I absolutely love food from all around the Mediterranean region. I was absolutely delighted by my meal. I had the falafel to start, it was beautifully crispy and seasoned well. The garlic sauce was very good, could use a little more garlic pop (that allicin bite). I then had the French Tacos, stuffed with chicken shawarma, garlic pomegranate and tzatziki sauce, side of Pete’s Sauce, and all the veggies. I was presented with a massive, “good days of chipotle”, overstuffed wrap, double wrapped in parchment and aluminum foil. It was DELICIOUS. So good across the board. My ONLY critique is that the structural integrity of the wrap falls apart the moment you remove more than about half of the wrapping materials. Had to break out the fork to finish the last bit of both half’s. Perhaps a wider tortilla wrapped thinner (for a longer shape) would help? Or not cutting in half? I don’t know. This is a MINOR nitpick! What I do know is that I will be coming back. And the pistachio cheesecake is DIVINE.

I had such a great experience at CYBEL! The staff were incredibly kind and welcoming they really made us feel taken care of from the moment we walked in. The food was delicious and you can tell it’s made with love and authenticity. The atmosphere was cozy and felt just like home. I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for real French-Moroccan flavors and a great dining experience. I’ll 100% be coming back! 🤍🇲🇦

Best Falafel in town, hands down! So crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The trio of dips w the salad was just the perfect combination! If you have never had a Moroccan Tagine it’s a must try! (second picture is the lamb tagine). I love the family owned vibe and the service is on point. Must try is the very authentic Moroccan mint tea. Owner comes around to ensure your meal and experience is impeccable. Bonus- If you are gluten free you have almost the entire menu to choose from! Can’t wait to go back for more falafel and to try the chicken tagine!

What a lovely place! We stopped here because we were looking for a quick salad and really loved it! Picking items for a custom salad was so much fun, but seeing the great salad tech chopping it up in front of us did it! Sat there, had our two salads, and that was an awesome experience. Only hope more places got this message: simple, fun, good and with a smile! That's all a client needs. Thank you, Chris, for the awesome service!!!

Happy to have a salad place downtown that fills your bowl. There are great salad choices which can make it harder to choose. I will say it was a little slower getting the salad made but they do get all the ingredients together chop it up and toss it in the dressing of your choice. Cute inside with plenty of seating. Could see this place being way too busy at lunch but worth it.

I've ordered many times from Toss and it's been just fine. Today I ordered pickup, and I was literally shocked to open the bag when I got back to my desk. Not only was my salad HALF full and devoid of toppings, but the dressing was shoved inside with the lid off. The worst part is that I paid SIXTEEN (16) DOLLARS for a sad, empty bowl of salad drenched in dressing. I will never ever return!

This is a cool concept if you enjoy having your salad or wrap customized to your liking. You can pick your ingredients. The meats are all cold though, as far as I could tell.

excellent service, delicious food, nice atmosphere inside! I recommend! I will definitely come again!!

I’m SOLD!!!! I took the veggie lovers and added a few more toppings with the green goddess dressing 🥰 Heaven in a bowl and the Saladista was very nice and helpful too. I regret not getting her name. Young girl with long ponytail if that helps. ☺️

I got the southwest salad minus the chicken, it was super good. Their house made green goddess dressing is the bomb. My husband got the cobb and he said it was great. So many option/ingredients to choose from. I do wish they had a couple soup options but no worries cause this place is awsome. Great helpful staff and we will be back for sure.

We stopped in for breakfast without realizing reservations were needed (it’s clearly a very popular spot), but the team was so welcoming and managed to seat us at high tops. From the host to the server, everyone was warm, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. We started with two dishes to share, and they were so good that we couldn’t resist ordering a third. Each plate was beautifully prepared and packed with flavor. At one point the chef personally checked in with every table, which added a wonderful personal touch. Having just moved to St Pete from NYC, we’re beyond happy we found this place. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu!

This little restaurant kills it every time I come. I love the seasonal menu but the standard E.A.L. breakfast knocks it out of the park on a consistent basis, too, so you're solid all year. Service is perfect - helpful but not overbearing, and the chef personally delivered my breakfast. Can't beat that!

Chef Mario Brugnoli’s food brings me so much joy! Everytime I eat at this restaurant. It’s an experience For my pallet. This is my favorite restaurant in all of Saint Petersburg. The barista’s Lattes and coffees are always delicious as well.

We drive from Riverview for a brunch date here and IT WAS ENTIRELY WORTH THE DRIVE! Truly exceptional. We ordered the peach and burrata with a side of sourdough, the soufflé blueberry cheesecake pancake, and the biscuits and gravy and it was delicious. The coffee shop inside was also wonderful - 10/10 recommend the milk and cookie based latte - DROOL WORTHY but not too sweet and is reminiscent of the cookie milk left over from when you were a kid. The chef came out to introduce himself and inquire about our experience with the food twice which was very personable and intimate. He also explained about the ingredients which we really liked. Service was lovely and attentive. Overall, YES, GO!

What a GEM! This place has been open a little over a year, and its all 5 star reviews are true!! From the hostess, Jen, to the general manager, Jess, the service was lovely. The food, however, stole all my expectations. I'm floored. Everything was delicious and delivered to our table by the CHEF (Mario)! I recommend trying all their seasonal items. What a freaking treat. I had the poached egg dip, soughdough with seasonal jam (cherry coke jam), and ordered to go the hot honey chicken sandwich. We also ordered Grandpa Larry's Benedict. Worth it. Go eat here. Go woth 4 people and order the while menu to share. 10 out of 10 will be back to share this awesome place.

Latest visit 8/9/25 3rd times the charm! I feel like and E.A.L pro now. We made a reservation, ordered efficiently and devoured everything. I was also a little shocked, but presently surprised to see the menu had been expanded… trust me when I say the more food this place offers, the better. The quality hasn’t dropped since my last visit i think 4 months ago- and the new options are delicious add ons! You can't go wrong with this place. Consistent excellent service, flavors and creativity The menu has been expanded ANNND chef is bringing in some of the best bacon you can find, real Bacon cooked expertly or buy it and take it home to cook your way! 9.5 Had the biscuits and gravy- 8.7 unique and tastey - good gravy not over salty layered on tooe of scratch made cheddar biscuits!!! Next we had the new blue berry pineapple cheescake pancake- your read that right and its better than i expected- the strawberry os still my favorite but this new pancake is a work of art multiple textures and flavors coming together for masterpiece worth a try for sure Another great experience at Eat Art Love. You cant go wrong! ———- Once this place blows up (in popularity) and gets a larger location.. (if they want) and maybe a slightly larger menu (just for me)- this place will be my first prefect rating- as it is now its a solid 4.7 The food is great expertly crafted. This was my second time there and they have a more artisan vibe in a smaller intimate setting. We had a minor issue this go around. I originally ordered the chicken sandwich which I’ve heard is amazing when it arrive the flower had sadly burnt. I asked if they could refire it however they were out of chicken for the day sooo I ordered the strawberry pancake instead and a hash brown - I had the apple pancake last time, which is why I was switching to the chicken sandwich in the first place, but the strawberry pancake is phenomenal. It is it a great experience if you ever see it on the menu it’s a must ORDER!!! order it has strawberries, strawberry syrup with Matcha whipped cream, and strawberry crumble on top. Even if you DONT like strawberries this is a treat! Its not too much Or overly strawberry-y- we also had the ragu eggs Benny which was tasty but not a Benedict to me. AND they comped my second order completely. Which they didn’t have to do and most businesses wouldn’t do. They might’ve taken off one item or a drink. The chef came to our table and expressed this sincere apologies for the unfortunate experience, initially. You can tell they care about the food and about their reputation and the experience of each customer. The highest recommendation

The food was absolutely amazing. We almost didn’t stay to eat because we were unfamiliar with the items on the menu. So glad we changed our mind… The menu is very small, but absolutely delicious! Everyone was very kind, knowledgeable, and happy to be here. Can’t wait to come back…I’ll be dreaming about the ricotta toast and the chicken sandwich!

Food was fantastic! Since living in Florida the past 4 years this has to be one of my favorite spots. Service was swift. Atmosphere was very open and calm. We ordered the Boquet and Rose Tea. Had to try the lentil. Finished with some pastries. GREAT SPOT! Will be back for sure.

You can and should come to this museum just for Cafe Clementine. Gorgeous food (add-on meat portions are small for the cost but otherwise fairly priced on menu items) and lovely pastries. Pleasantly surprised with the tea options, had a lovely red tea :)

I’ve been here a few times, and it’s easily the best pastry café in the area. The staff is friendly, and they offer creative options alongside great classics like pain au chocolat and almond croissants. Coffee is good, especially the oat latte, and they have interesting drinks like the Biscoff Cookie Cloud and Blueberry Cobbler Chai. I believe these rotate with the seasons. Bread is excellent. Parking can be tough since it’s downtown, but there are a few 15-minute spots behind the MFA.

The best avocado toast I’ve ever had. The coconut tea cake was phenomenal as well. Everything here is incredible, including the drinks. Great service too.

I’d go out of my way to come back to this stellar cafe! The fresh baked goods and savory breakfast was amazing, and the free refills of iced tea was the cherry on top. The staff was very friendly and helpful at making suggestions.

Some of the very best croissants and pastries I have ever had (and as a Frenchman, I have sampled croissants around the world). The stuffed croissant is to die for and even their coffee is excellent. The staff is very welcoming and cheerfull. Will travel from afar to come back here 🙂

Cute cafe inside the art museum. The food and desserts were very nice! The cream filled croissant was beautiful and delightful! The sauce on the breakfast sandwich was delicious! The lavender London fog was lovely! My husband enjoyed the avocado toast. It has a nice kick.

I called in during the day and it was pretty quiet, but lucky me because what a great venue, I will definitely be back to experience the evening atmosphere and live music, they also do dance classes I believe too! The staff were super friendly and the owner of the coffee space Chris had such incredible knowledge of his craft and was passionate in sharing how he his knowledge and explaining all the different and incredible elements of his drinks menu. The coffee space isn’t open 7 days a week so worth checking out their schedule first!

Just flew into town and needed some coffee. Found this amazing place and it was perfect. I’m not a big cold brew guy, but I should after this! The drinks were phenomenal, and the coconut pistachio cheesecake was perfect. I would be here every day if I could.

Chris runs a super unique craft coffee bar featuring Cuban cold brew. I've followed him as a pop up vendor for 3 years and so stoked to have him join us in the Warehouse Arts District! Best coffee in town & a vibe that you need to see to get!

First time in and not disappointed. Asked for a recommendation and Chris went above and beyond explaining the drinks, the flavor profiles, the vibes, all of it. I couldn't decide between the cold brew oatmeal latte and the lemonade, so got them both and I am so pleased with them. I love that you don't get the bitter coffee taste in either drink, it's a smooth flavor profile. Definitely will be coming back to try the different syrups that are all made in house too.

Stopped by during our road trip and we will absolutely be stopping by on our next one. First time trying a coffee lemonade and was amazed how much we liked it.

Brewed awakenings is so delicious! The experience at Suite E Studios was first rate. We loved watching the master craftsman create a fantastic coffee creation! Five stars all the way down the line.

Literally TO DIE FOR beverages. The owner is super sweet and passionate about his creations. He let me try his lemonade coffee. And I will say I have never had anything more refreshing! I can't wait to go back for another visit! Ok went back for a second visit. Drove from out of state because it's just that good. I like his crafts because I am sensitive to caffeine but his blends are created with the right amount of coffee so that even the people like me can enjoy a cup without getting the jitters.

Foodie Labs offers a culinary experience that blends creativity with authentic flavors. During your visit, you enjoyed the amazing Latin burrito, which stood out for its freshness and vibrant taste. The addition of plantains truly elevated the dish, providing a unique twist that makes a delightful difference.

Absolutely delicious, so glad we stumbled upon this place. I went with the Ragu pesto and my friend ordered the Peruvian pesto chicken. It was inexpensive, came out fast and it was delicious. Chef Michael came out and talked us through his process and made sure we enjoyed everything. Love the ambiance and definitely a date night spot or just a place to go with a small family and grab some hot fresh food!

The food here is great!!! The environment here is super great and the owner was welcoming and niceee. I also love the concept here. I recommend the Peruvian roast chicken and the pasta!!

Amazing place!!! The best food and great people. The best part is you can order from more than one restaurant. I loved the Paella Party by APULULU. Very fun and the best paella!!!!

The pizza was delicious! I loved flavor of the sourdough crust, and it was baked to perfection. Thank you to the staff for such friendly service as well. The cookies were also really yummy! Definitely try the pizza. 🙌🏻

Went for lunch today. Not really knowing what to expect. And loved the concept, food offerings and service. Should’ve taken pics but it was so good I was just in the moment. Definitely going back to try all the other offerings. Unsure how many, but several companies co- existing and bringing much needed diversity to our tables!

Check Mike is AMAZING! I got steak, potatoes and cheese… he made the steak MELT in my mouth. What a wonderful man! He’s the best at what he does! I would post a picture but I already devoured it!

I went here recently. Because of COVID they are doing pick up and take out orders. My salad was very fresh. I created my own salad. Pricing was fair for this kind of type of place. The service was great. I was met by the main door and someone took my order. The food was prepared quickly, though it did not seem busy at the time. I cannot speak for the speed if it was busy. They did have 2 tables outside that you could eat at. Overall it was a really good lunch spot that I would return to if I was in the area.

I love this location for its gluten free and vegan options. They staff is very frendly. They also put in many procedures during Covid to increase safety. The most important thing to me is the squeeze of lemon option for my salad for those who do not eat salad dressing. Most salad locations do not have this. I will keep coming back to this location for sure. They have great mobile service and delivery apps in place as well!

I frequent build your own salad places (in a ton of different US cities) and this is definitely the worst one yet. I’ve had better salads in college dining halls. Very bland. They’re skimpy on toppings and the dressings tasted like watered down grocery store bottled dressing. Nothing was fresh at all- looked and tasted like it had been sitting out for days. The protein options were so gross and stale looking that we opted not to even get any. Terrible ambiance even for a quick lunch and even worse food. Also WAY too overpriced- massive upcharges that I’ve never seen at other salad shops (+ $1.75 for avocado). Don’t waste your time.

The best (and only at the time of writing) build your own salad place in St. Pete. We have been wanting a place like this for a while and here it is. All house made fresh ingredients. They also have several premade recipes you can order. All ingredients can be sampled before committing. Highly recommend.

I am a Health Coach/Nutritionist and am always looking for something fresh, quick, and healthy for myself and my clients. Greenstocks salads are fresh with in-house made, healthy toppings and dressings! Portions are huge (I have never been able to finish a entire one in a sitting)! This is a must have in St Pete and a place you can visit multiple times/week and always get something new!

I'm obsessed with this place. Incredibly high quality ingredients. I was a little skeptical cuz the price seemed high but totally worth it. You definitely get what you pay for. Also the staff was very helpful my first time picking everything out. Will be back and recommend

My wife tried to call in for pick up and was placed on hold for 5 minutes before she hung up. She ordered online instead and when she went in to pick it up staff was in the back hanging out and ignored her at first. When she finally got the food both salads were missing the tuna she added on for $7 more..... really disappointing.

I had the Cafe Shakerado and it was delicious! Great coffee, awesome recipe, and wonderful people! I highly recommend you get a coffee here ☕👍

We enjoyed the banana bread cold brew and the chocolate chip cookie latte at EatArtLove and they were DELICIOUS! The banana bread cold brew wasn’t overly sweet and had a delicious foam. And chocolate chip cookie latte was my FAVORITE LATTE EVER. It literally had little cookie bits in it AND surprisingly it wasn’t too sweet, but perfectly balance. 10/10 recommend!

This chai latte with oat milk is great! They’re making sure they take care of us as they build out their 2 storefronts. You can find them at State flour bakery on the weekends!

Mmmm had an incredible seasonal iced latte! Can’t remember the name, but there was mint and coconut and it was divine! Met the owners father, Roy, who was working the pop up stand today- What a pleasant man. Can’t wait to get some more of Sage’s Playground coffee around town!

Coffees were a perfect pairing for our dog walk. They really took pride and care in crafting their drinks.

Family owned and operated. Great coffee! Perfect to bring your dogs or just hang out. Under construction now but still has the coffee stand out on the weekends. Awesome for St Pete! Even heard there will be late night food. Can’t wait for the grand opening!!! A must see coffee shop if you are in the area!

Cold brew is amazing! Smooth and strong. I tried it at a pop-up at J.Con Salon and loved their vibe! Will definitely be visiting their downtown location soon.
