    Deep-fried mac & cheese sandwich The Cheesy Todd
    Elaina W.

    Ordered truffle fries, and coconut shrimp for an appetizer, during happy hour (1/2 price!) & the coconut shrimp was super! House wine was also better thdecent. Ordered a Rueben & Cheesy Todd - Tasty!

    Burgers with mac and cheese buns!

    I treated my wonderful wife to a special birthday dinner here at Datz, in downtown St Pete. Our awesome niece's boyfriend told us about the meatloaf filled with mac and cheese so we had to try it! We arrived Saturday at 5pm so we could park easily on the street and avoid the congestion. Ivan, our excellent waiter, got us a drink and me a spectacular mocktail. We ordered apps and mains and just relaxed and took our time. Ivan provided unhurried and great service. The nachos with blue cheese drizzle and brisket were awesome, starting with house made chips. When we commented on the chips, Ivan said they've been working on the chips and perfected them. We agree! The insane mac and meatloaf was as advertised, flavorful, crazy, huge and fun! I ate the rest the next day as we had plenty of leftovers. Life is good with a unique local favorite! Datz!

    Barry C's Stuffed Meatloaf
    Ruthie L.

    This place was close to our hotel. We got takeout. It was good, a lot of food and a bit pricey but we liked it. The service was quick and the greeter was very friendly! The restaurant was really nice looking with a beautiful sitting area, large indoor and outdoor dining areas and a large indoor/outdoor bar. Now the food... We got Macaroni and cheese bites to share and they were nothing to write home about. They were okay but we weren't impressed. My boyfriend got the stuffed meatloaf and it was absolutely delicious!! Meatloaf on a bed of mashed potatoes, peas and onion pearls (my favorite part). It was so good and I wish I had gotten the same. I got the Cheesy Todd and it was MASSIVE! It was impractical though. No way to pick it up or fit that thing in your mouth. I ended up cutting it up and using a fork to eat it. It was very, very dry. The meat was small compared to the "bun" (macaroni and cheese bun). Don't get me wrong... it was good but just a huge pain in the *** to eat and very dry. As a side I got the Jalapeño Macaroni and cheese that comes with bacon crumbs which was excellent. I will definitely be back to Datz. It was good and I would recommend it.

    Chicken sandwich with chips
    Dwaine C.

    Datz is located right in downtown st Pete close to the bay. It is decorated nicely and service is always good. I had the eggs over easy with 3 meat and home fries. The eggs were raw on top not over easy. But everything else was ok. My wife loved the shrimp and grits. My mother got a delicious chicken sandwich with chips. The chips were stale. We have been coming to Datz for years. Manager need to keep an eye out for quality.

    Shrimp and Grits
    Brett H.

    We had spent a decent amount of time looking for a fun and affordable place to eat before attending one of the St. Pete Pier concert, and we landed on Datz. We walked in , and we were pretty quickly seated. As soon as I sat down, I noticed a table that needed to be bussed and some miscellaneous trash on the floor. We had to wait a while for someone to come to the table for our drink order. When seated, we were given one food menu. We asked for a drink menu, and it took about 10 minutes. They had to print one off. Guess they were not ready for the Saturday dinner crowd. We both ordered a beer, and at this point, we also placed our food order. I ordered the shrimp and grits. My wife ordered the French Onion Soup and Buffalo Califlower Popcorn. The food arrived in a reasonable amount of time, but we had to wait another five minutes to eat it, as we were not seated with silverware. I dug into the shrimp and grits and was so happy. They were so good, the cream cheese in the Grits made them so creamy. The shrimp was nicely done as well, great flavor. I do wish there was a tad less oil pooled, though. My wife thought the Buffalo Califlower Popcorn was good, but that I was lacking a crunch. She said the soup was pretty tasty. We had also ordered a side of the sweet and salty house made chips with chives and creamy blue cheese drizzle. We both loved these chips. The sweet and salty factor was very nice. The blue cheese and chives are an excellent touch. Nearing the end of the meal, she goes to take the last couple of swigs of beer and notices some floating stuff in the beer. Now, we didn't notice anything in it up to this point, but she was grossed out. It was not an unfiltered beer, so maybe some cruse from the lines. The server did remover the beer from the bill, which was much appreciated. While we ate, we observed various staff in the restaurant and found it comical. It sorta seemed like they were all lost and didn't know their purpose. It truly seems like this place is lacking management, or they are just not present. We'd consider giving them another try, but maybe for breakfast. Our thought is maybe they would have different management working and things would be different and a little cleaner.

    Strawberry fields

    We used to love the Tampa location, so ventured to St Pete to try another Datz. I wouldn't make the trip again. We ordered the kids chicken tenders, which were very dry and chewy. It came with a chocolate chip coookie which looked burnt, it was hard and way over baked. I had a strawberry fields drink which was my favorite part of the meal. I ordered the Laz's cuban and it wasn't super fantastic. I liked it better way back when it was the Havana Hottie with the sweeter honey mustard. My husband had Risk it for the Brisket. It was better than mine. There are too many options in this area to choose from, we won't be back unfortunately.

    Anyplace that welcomes dogs is automatic high stars in my book, any place that also brings bacon to them too... well datz the way to my heart. Went for the famous Nashville chicken donut sandwich with fries ($16) and OMG was not disappointed at all! Sweet and savory went and had a baby and it's a stunner. The sando and the fries are well portioned to share too. Service was fast and friendly, surprised at how fast we were sat on a Saturday! Will definitely be going back to try the ube waffles soon ;) P.S. Our doggo was given his weight in bacon and asked me to give it ten stars.

    I came out here for a family brunch while in town for a visit. The inside looks great. It's clean and spacious and has a nice bar. The menu was overwhelming. There were so many interesting choices it was hard to choose. I was in a French toast mood so went with that. The portion was huge and so delicious, there was fresh fruit on top and the bacon was cooked perfectly. My daughter got the shrimp and grits and we shared from each other's plate and omg I wish I had ordered that. The grits were really good and creamy. It had the perfect consistency and taste. My mom ordered the ribs and that was good too. Everything I tried was amazing. The service, price, and experience were excellent. I would definitely come back here when I stop back in St Pete!

    The ube waffles are a must. Served with coconut butter and drizzled with cream cheese frosting. I got it with a size of sausage 10/10 amazing! Tyler and Trent took great care of us very attentive service. We sat at the open air bar. They have a great selection of drinks. Next time plan on getting the coffee martini that comes with a donut.

    It was just okay to me. Food was rushed, overcooked, and not what I expected. I miss the South Tampa location for the quality and service.

    Great food and service. Location easy for downtown. Lots of dining spaces separate from the bar. Take a seat by the window and relax.

    Truly Unforgettable Culinary Journey at Red Thread…read more Our dinner at Red Thread was nothing short of spectacular -- a five-star experience from the moment we stepped through the door until the final sip of our after-dinner drink. We visited to celebrate a milestone birthday, and the team not only met but exceeded every expectation, weaving subtle, thoughtful surprises into the evening that made us feel truly special. The atmosphere is opulent yet completely approachable -- warm, intimate, and alive with cultural richness. You can feel the intention behind every detail: the plush banquettes adorned with intricately embroidered throw pillows, the soft glow of lantern-style lighting, and the perfectly placed gold-tipped cocktail picks that make even the smallest moment feel curated. It's elegant without pretense, like being welcomed into a beautifully kept secret along the Silk Road. Service was led by Katie and Elijah, who were nothing short of exceptional. Their warmth, precision, and deep knowledge of both the menu and the restaurant's rich aesthetic elevated the entire evening. They guided us with confidence, shared stories behind the dishes, and ensured every need was met before we even voiced it. Now, the food -- where do we begin? Red Thread delivers flavors that are bold, layered, and deeply authentic. We started with the spread and small bites platter, and it was immediately clear we were in for something extraordinary. The tabbouleh was bright and herb-forward, with finely chopped parsley, tomato, and bulgur kissed by lemon -- a perfect balance of freshness and zing. The falafel were golden-crisp on the outside, tender within, and served with a bright mint yogurt. So delish! For our mains: the salmon, seasoned with fragrant za'atar and resting atop creamy spanakorizo (spinach and rice), was cooked to buttery perfection. The addition of crumbled feta and a cooling lemon yogurt sauce brought a bright, tangy contrast that elevated every bite. The pork chop, served with tri-color potatoes and glazed in a rich port beurre rouge with rosemary and a whisper of parmesan, was magnificent -- juicy, deeply savory, and beautifully seared. And the beef short rib? Unbelievably tender, with a warm curry base, sweet-spicy melon kimchi, and saffron rice that perfumed the air. The cardamom chèvre melted into the mix, adding a creamy, floral depth that was nothing short of inspired. Every dish told a story -- of distant lands, ancient trade routes, and a chef who clearly treats spice like sacred heirloom. To know these flavors are crafted with spices imported directly from the regions that inspired them explains the unmatched authenticity in every bite. Red Thread stands alone in St. Petersburg -- not just in flavor, but in feeling. We'll be back -- no question -- to explore their brunch and dive deeper into this beautiful narrative they've created on a plate. To everyone reading: This is the kind of restaurant that deserves to be discovered, celebrated, and filled to capacity every single night. Go. Taste. Feel. Red Thread isn't just dinner -- it's a journey. And it's not to be missed.

    We finally checked out Red Thread and it was delicious!…read more Great ambiance (both indoors and their outdoor courtyard, can't go wrong with either option) that fits the "silk road" vibe, with awesome food and friendly service. We started with the dip trio (beet hummus, olive tapenade, and babaganoush with fluffy pita triangles), which was fantastic. Each dip had an awesome flavor, especially the beet hummus. We also got the tahini, date, and cashew salad and loved it. My husband isn't a salad guy and said he'd only have a bite, but then he ate half. The rich and spicy tahini mixed with the sweet date, creamy cashew, and fresh/crisp salad was such a great flavor combo. I will note, they go heavy with the tahini on the salad, but we weren't complaining. I got the zataar salmon for my main. A deliciously spiced zataar crust on top of a delicately flaky salmon made for a wonderful meal. My husband got the kafta en croute, which were ground lamb/beef meatballs surrounded by a flaky pastry and topped with pomegranate over a tahini sauce. I kept stealing bites (which was fine, there was plenty to share) it was so good and such a unique entrée! For drinks, they have uniquely spiced cocktails and mocktails. The drinks took longer to arrive than the food, but they were worth the wait. We were too stuffed for dessert, but next time we want to try their tiramisu (made with Turkish coffee and cardamom). We had a wonderful meal and will be back! The sad thing was that half the restaurant was empty. We think it's a unique addition to DTSP and is definitely worth checking out.
