Tuna
Jennifer M.

Came in after a Rays game and we ordered cheeseburger, ahi tuna, fried green beans and corn dogs. We loved all of it. Great stop late at night!

XXX Burger with curly fries.
Rafael P.

I can only say: amazing! This business has to make the best burger on the planet. I enjoyed a XXX Burger which consisted of Ghost Pepper cheese, barbecue sauce, and jalapeño bacon served on a pretzel bun. These flavors were spicy and delicious and combined to create one of the most delicious burgers I have ever had. I accompanied this with curly fries and a Coke Zero. Great service and a nice atmosphere. I highly recommend this place if you are in the Saint Pete area.

Best burgers !!  The burger selection was amazing and the taste  was awesome !!! Guys couldn't get enough!

Burger beer and Sriracha Crusted Hot Wings (10)
Dan H.

The best burger I've ever had! In general, I am not drawn to ground beef but the burgers produced here are on their own gourmet level. They have an extensive menu of curated burgers with flavors you could never dream of combining. I had the van helsing & as mentioned, best burger I've very had! My partner got the sriracha wings based off a recommendation and those were to die for as well! The service is super friendly and quick. We stopped in on a whim and it was packed but we didn't have to wait. We sat at the main seating area at the bar, as the smaller table seating area in the back was full. They have a ton of beer & wine too.

Sriracha Crusted Hot Wings (10)

We stopped in after a movie at Sundial and wanted some bar food and wanted to post up sitting at the bar. We were able to do it and glad we did! My Sriracha Wings were by far the main event! I ordered my usual all drums and they did not disappoint! The service was friendly and the atmosphere was fine. I will say parking is limited in this area and I would imagine so for a weekend. It had been several years since I've been and I won't let that happen again!

Delicious food, beers, and wonderful service. This is a casual neighborhood spot with lots of tv's, great burgers and delicious fries. Most of the seating is at the bar where you can find a good assortment of wine and beer. They offer some decent entrees, salads and appetizers too. The burger menu offers about 20 options from mild to wild. Definitely a hidden gem in downtown St. Pete. Burgers were absolutely delicious! Lots of options for drinks - we loved everything we tried. Definitely recommend the tater tot appetizer!! Might be the best burger in St Pete. Overall, no complaints here!! Give it a try! Thanks

Stick to the burgers! I got the mushroom ravioli because all the burgers had some spicy element to them or weren't my style and I knew I was taking a risk. Good but not great, seemed like their take on pasta and the sauce was watered down or added to. The burger was great according to my partner but obviously very hard to eat based on the size. It's on a side ride off downtown so parking is first come first serve and it's beer and wine only. Limited seating as well but there is a board to add your name.

Black Flag w/Cucumber Salad Side
Anthony D.

We stopped in on Halloween night after flying in as it was one of the few places still open. It's medium-sized space with mostly bar seating and some tables inside. It's got the typical bar/bar food vibe. Service was attentive and friendly throughout the meal. I got the Black Flag and it was really tasty! A bit heavy on the Frank's Hot Sauce but overall I really enjoyed it. The cook on the actual meat was perfectly medium rare! That was the main thing that stood which was great. Any burger can be made vegetarian and so my gf got the Demi-God with impossible meat. This too was exceptional and very flavorful. Admittedly I didn't expect much, but based on the burger cook alone, this place is worth stopping by. Plus they have so many options to choose from! A great place for burgers!

Inside

Came to this restaurant on a whim and I would honestly rate this restaurant a 10 out of 10. Bella was our server and she was absolutely amazing. She recommended a local Tampa Bay gourd beer that was stellar! Additionally, she told us that the demigod burger and the Sriracha crusted hot wings were the most popular items so we tried those and they did not disappoint. The wings were so flavorful and they were the perfect size. The burger was so good even with the impossible patty. I also ordered the sweet potato fries with the honey mustard and I could have this time and time again. The restaurant is quaint when you come inside, but it's definitely a vibe for the food that is on the menu. There is varsity in the front and it opens up to tables in the back.

While in Tampa I Yelped a burger joint and engine 9 came up so we gave it a try. The atmosphere is bar type and parking is a little tough as there's construction in the area. We sat at the bar ordered a draft beer. I can't recall the name but it was very good. Service was attentive. My burger was the The Black flag cooked medium just as ordered. The burger was delicious. They even have tater tots which are some of my favorites. Really enjoyed the restaurant.

Menu and UFO beer!

Looking for a place to watch Ohio State Football Game against that other team. Is this a good place to watch it on Saturday?

Definitely , you can tell they love sports here there are tables in the back with dedicated tvs with remotes I believe 😳. And a TV is visible from pretty much every seat.

Is the name in reference to the band Deftones' song?

I highly doubt it. It is a busy place with great burgers. If you go to their website it says the following:… 

Do you have gluten free buns?

Yes, they do.

Is the phone number on the website as well as on Google the right phone number for this place because every time I call it there is no answer and goes to voicemail. I can never call an order for this restaurant. Why is this?

I called the number on Yelp and it’s the same number on Google. I think it depends on when u call and if they are busy there.

Well-versed on the menu and a very pleasant lady. It's certainly not a fancy place and it looks like it's been around for a while, but it's the kind of place where you might like to hang out at the bar. Everyone there seems to be friendly and you get that comfortable feeling. We had a variety of food items, some better than others but nothing below average. Really good salads, as you can see by the pictures, a nice job on the chicken wings, a BLT that was pretty tasty; the butternut squash soup was OK, pretty thick and not hot at all. One was returned to the kitchen to be heated up. There was a chicken dip that really didn't hit the spot, and the tortilla chips that came with it seem to be past their prime. As for the fried mushrooms. I found them pretty much ordinary. A nice surprise were the brussels sprouts with balsamic and goat cheese. Really really good. Overall, I would give the food about a 3 1/2 stars at the service five stars so what averages out around four stars. Like I said it looks like a nice place to hang around and have a couple of beverages and a little something to eat.

The service was great, and their recommendations were spot on. Ordered the jalapeño cheddar sausage…read moreas the menus stated they are all made in their kitchen. It was delicious and so was the mustard it came with. My partner usually doesn't like mustard but he said this one complimented the sausage well. We sat inside by the kitchen so we had the pleasure of seeing all the food look and smelling delicious as it left the kitchen. Outside seating is also available. Everything we ordered was amazing. Only regret was not coming in my actual birthday for the free meal.

Stillwaters Tavern is a St. Pete spot I keep coming back to, and this visit was another solid one…read moreoverall! We started with the crispy pork belly, which looked a little on the drier side when it arrived but don't let that fool you, the brown sugar bourbon glaze it was dressed in was delicious. Really enjoyed it as a starter. The tavern burger came highly recommended as one of their best dishes, and while it was a good burger, it didn't quite blow us away. Surprisingly mild on flavor despite the toppings, and it's a BIG boy... which I know some people love, but I tend to prefer a smash burger so I'll take partial responsibility for that note! The fries, however, were excellent... textured, crispy, exactly how fries should be. The real standout of the visit was the chilaquiles (the chef's brunch special). It ran a little dry, but the flavors more than made up for it. The combination of crunchy tortilla chips, smoky sauce, pickled onions, egg, avocado, and cilantro all together was just so good... my boyfriend was equally obsessed. Would absolutely order again. Service was great and overall had a really enjoyable visit... Stillwaters continues to deliver a solid experience and I'll keep coming back!
