    Let's get the negative out of the way your Host or Hostess is the initial face of your establishment. Well this one has the personality of maybe a zombie. No expression or talk, didn't ask if we wanted a table or booth just lets go. Then she spent the rest of the time on her phone at the desk. Also the place is really cold so kudos when it's 100 outside but maybe 65 inside. Ok, Service was good and the menu had a lot of choices to ponder. The Tuna, Poke bowl was done well lots of tuna compared to a lot of places. The cheesesteak's was good (but thick bread) and the fries well done as ordered.

    Tuna appetizer
    Jennifer M.

    Food was good. Service was good and it's a nice casual place to eat. We ordered the Tuna appetizer, the tuna bowl and the chicken Philly. In a pinch, it's great!

    We like going here but tonight really had me mad before I even walked in. I will start with the service first because that's what everyone looks at. Our server tonight was not very attentive. I had buffalo shrimp appetizer and had no silverware or napkins the whole time. When our dinner came she said can I get you anything else and I had to say silverware and napkins please. We say for about 10-15 minutes after we were done eating before she ever brought the bill then another 10 minutes to get my card back. Now the part that pissed me off! As we were walking to the door the owner Matt Geiger pulled up on his golf cart and parked right at the front door. Ok fine you own the place but he completely blocked the handicap access. If someone would have come and needed to use the ramp out of their vehicle they couldn't do it. Having a sister that is handicapped and has a ramp van this makes me mad when people do this. Let alone everyone has to walk around his cart. The truck he parked next to will have to pull out to get in the passenger side doo

    We had a really nice experience today at the "Courtside Grill". First off we arrived to the "Courtside Grill", and there is plenty of parking. We walked in and was greeted so nicely by the hostess she seated us right away no wait. Love the atmosphere here really high ceilings and very spacious with beautiful architecture especially their chandelier. Also, there is plenty of TVs. They had football games on all over the place, and other sports games on. But I was handed the menu. I am definitely delighted to see how many different items they have on the menu. It is really impressive. I ordered the Italian sub. I do not add cheese to mine due to allergy situation. and I get to pick one side with that I got the broccoli. My husband got cheeseburger and frys, my niece got Caesar salad, and tuna poke bowl, And everybody ordered that at the table. My Italian sub was really really good! The bread tasted homemade was so fluffy and fresh and had a nice crispiness on the outside because it was toasted. Meat was really good and fresh. I definitely would order that again. My husband loved his burger. He said it was excellent really juicy burger cooked perfectly. The fries were very crispy. Everybody loved the Tuna Poke bowl. They loved the sauce that it had all over it they said it was really fresh and full of flavor not fishy at all. They were staying at a hotel nearby my family and they said they wanted to come back and eat there before they went back home. The Caesar salad wasn't good dressing was very sour . Other than that, everything was perfect, good service with a smile, and we will definitely be back again.

    Chicken poke bowl
    Rebecca K.

    The service is great. The food is okay. The ambiance is just another sports bar, which the area already has a ton of. It's pretty tucked away near the finance companies in the area. I liked the tuna poke because they gave plenty of it. But the chicken poke was just disappointing. Not only was it similar to the tuna,,, but they gave a third less of what was presented in the other plate /:

    An okay spot to grab a meal or drink with your coworkers if it's a convenient location but the service tends to be on the slower side and the food is average. Normally I just get a burger because well it's hard to mess that up.

    Girl threatened to call police after our large table had just spent ~$1K at this place. Staff waited til tipped to start discrimination.

    LOUD and TOXIC. Loud restaurant in general with cigarette smoke wafting in from the "outside bar" which is openly connected to the interior of the restaurant. Female staff with hostile and "know it all" attitudes and a manager named Arthur that have no clue about FL ADA restaurant laws. Arthur allows his staff to be extremely, repeatedly disrespectful to customers. Arthur A said he has been managing there for 20 years. Has he ever taken a Restaurant 101 course? Look up the laws, "Service vests are required for a dog to be a service animal." We were repeatedly told this by staff with a nasty attitude. Check out the laws before making your comments as though they are facts and calling someone with a disability a "liar" please. Courtside staff. Seriously. Educate yourselves before making (falsely) omnipotent and condescending statements to customers. Wow, those are some rude, ignorant workers and their "boss" with a lot to say that they aren't even accurate about. Vests and " service registry ID tags" that anyone can get online are not required on service animals. LOOK UP THE ACTUAL FEDERAL AND FL STATUTES RATHER THAN MAKING ASSUMPTIONS and calling your customer a liar. Got so hostile I got camera out and got much of it on video with audio. Will be considering filing a formal ADA / civil rights complaint with medical letter, training certificate, & videos of this manager and staff. Harassment and intimidation toward guest with a disability then trying to blame guest? Not cool. Not funny. Not legal. Period. ADDITIONALLY- Arthur's staff offered ZERO water at our table. We always have to ask for water (they typically start off asking us what drinks we'd like to start with from the bar without mentioning water) and have been there many, many times over years passing through and after purchasing a place in area. Servers are offering only alcohol. This may increase sales and their tips with more alcohol served, but also increases risk and LIABILITY if someone were to leave and be in a car accident. Seems like Courtside Grille cares about profits and sass - NOT the actual well-being of their patrons. Shame. Shame. Shame.

    Mozzarella sticks
    Aubrey F.

    Checked this spot out finally. We ordered the mozzarella sticks and the baked spinach and artichoke dip to start. The dip was shredded asiago cheese topping, scallion and tomato garnish and served with toast points. Very good and cheesy! I ordered The Franchise, which is smoked salmon, scallion, cream cheese, tempura fried topped with eel sauce, and spicy mayo. I also ordered the Joe vs Volcano, which is kanikama, cream cheese and cucumber, topped with avocado, broiled dynamite, tempura crunch, scallion, and soy glaze. Both were very good! It was a busy and popular place!

    Shaggy Dog Maki
    Carlie R.

    It's always a pleasure coming back to Courtside Grill as they never fail to disappoint! I visited with two friends, and our waiter was incredibly sweet and attentive. The service was quick, and the food was delicious. We started with the must-have cheesy baguette as an appetizer, which was fantastic. We sat in a booth which was perfect. Perfect place for March Madness! For our main courses, I had the mahi-mahi sandwich, one friend had the chicken bowl, and the other tried the buffalo mac and cheese--everyone agreed that their dishes were amazing. We ended our meal by sharing a cookie with ice cream for dessert, which was the perfect indulgence. Be warned, this meal is so satisfying that it might put you in a food coma, but it's absolutely worth it for all the right reasons.

    Capresi salad
    Joel Jz Z.

    Jen was a wonderful and knowledgeable server at this interesting sports bar near our hotel in St Pete. She was able to make several great suggestions on this most diverse menu. We started with a nice portion of a capresi salad, then went with Poke Bowl with Tuna for me and a French dip for my friend. Both were delicious! the service was amazing, and it was tolarab for the sound level. It probably gets much noise at night, but we made it for lunch. Update back to this place two days later and had an assortment of items, apps. Ahi tuna and naked wings. were great! followed by the Grouper Reuben. nice way to enjoy a great meal and nice team at this place. I plan to return next time I am in the area.

    French double dribble dip
    Jane S.

    I'm unfamiliar with the area, was by myself, and hungry! I googled places I could get lunch that weren't too far from my hotel that wouldn't be super awkward, this was one of the first places that popped up. It was a great decision! I sat at the bar on the outside and it was a gorgeous day. The 2 bartenders were very nice and helpful. I had the French dip and fries, definitely no complaints. Will definitely eat there again!!!!

The waitress was running around the section getting drinks, food and everything else in some amazing time! She was very friendly and even gave some drink recommendations to friends who weren't sure what they wanted to drink that night. The Guinness I had was refreshing and had a perfect amount of head on it! I decided to get a burger to pair with it and it was amazing! The burger was cooked exactly like I wanted and all the toppings seemed very fresh. I love that the cheese was melted nicely and gave a nice flavor to the dish. The patty of the burger was also very juicy! The side of fries was good but nothing to write home about. Pricing is typical and it was about $25 for my burger and beer which isn't too bad in my opinion, especially because I really enjoyed my dish that night! The location seemed very clean and any time there was a dirty dish or cup, someone was already on it wiping down the table and getting the place ready for the next party to sit and enjoy their meal. Parking was very easy to find and there was more than enough spaces, especially on a Saturday night when I stopped by to enjoy a great meal!

Lunch was great, they had some nice specials! I had the Italian beef, which was excellent on Turano rolls. I'm from Chicago, and I have a relative who works for Turano. So I'm partial to those buns/bread. Side of sweet peppers which were tasty. Also enjoyed jalopeno poppers which were excellent. The wife had the Buffalo Chicken pizza which I tried and enjoyed immensely. Service was good, but the girl who waited on us was working the bar as well. We chose to sit at the bar, figuring we'd get better service than we did but she was kind of busy but did a nice job. I guess they don't bring in waitresses till later in the day, I don't know. Food was great! we enjoyed a couple pitchers of beer as well. Really happy with this place. A lot of the locals are former transplants from Chicago we know a few in the area but weren't able to get a hold of them when we were down here, but they use this bar as a meeting place for Cubs, Bears, and probably a little bit Blackhawks. Very nice!! No White Sox fans. Definitely will return next season and enjoyed it . Parking is a little bit tight down here, is they're in a shopping center but they do have a large gathering room outside the bar in main seating area which I'm sure a lot of people fill up completely at at night. Good arrangement, and the owners are supposed to be from Chicago and they are doing a great job of replicating Chicago, I felt at home here. My only remorse is: that my place is not close to here, it's a bit of a ride, so it will limit my visiting. That's OK,we'll still show up from time to time next year. If you're thinking about coming here, they do at the Chicago Way... so definitely just pop on in,and enjoy yourself !

Service was slow (not crowded) and our Large pizza was literally a small pizza. Never, in Chicago, would a large pizza be that small. Fine, we take it. It was so bad.

We'll get our Chicago za in Chicago and stick with NY style pizza while in Florida.
