They quoted us a short wait and encouraged us to wait by the outside bar, just around the corner from the main entrance. We headed there and I got a glass of malbec while we waited. Our buzzer went off maybe 15 minutes later and we were promptly seated on the patio. We ordered the following: Blue tuna Neptune's Platter Stuffed Gulf Grouper We were blown away by the food. They were fresh and flavorful, and the portions were hearty. We left full and very satisfied! Service was excellent throughout. We will definitely be back next time I'm in Florida. Highly recommend checking out Snapper's!

They offer diverse options for the charcuterie board (I chose the pick 3) so you can make so many pairings Brooke was stellar, super attentive even when it was packed. and I loved her recommendations! she knows what she's talking about and we love that!!!

A mix of many flavors and types. Small seating area and seat yourself if it is not busy. You can make reservations though. Brooke was awesome. Great suggestions on food and wine.

We like to taste the meat and the balsamic kinda covered it up a bit. Next we had the chorizo stuffed tomatoes. Delicious! Perfect size for 2 to share. Lots of flavors. Really good. Solid wine spot and I'm a really chill, non central spot.

We decided on the She crab soup, Lobster Fries and the Fried Grouper dinner with coleslaw and fried corn. Soup was very creamy with a rich crab and butter flavor. Not the greatest but tasty. Lobster topped fresh cut fries were a bit greasy at the table, topped off with an aioli which we felt needed a bit more of a flavor kick. Finally we had the Fried Grouper dinner, this was the star of the meal. Fried perfectly with a light breading that held up to the end. Tartar sauce would add flavor if a caper mayonnaise over pickle would make a better accompaniment. Restaurant was very clean and had a great beach feel. We look forward to returning for an outdoor seating over the next few months to try out the other options.

The flavors absolutely melted in your mouth and the seafood was cooked to perfection! We did not save room for dessert but everything looked and sounded amazing.

This is the kind of place that feels like it's been around forever, in the best way. Spacious for the area, lively without being chaotic, and backed by attentive service that keeps things moving even when it's busy. The menu is extensive, and then just when you think you've seen it all, there's a specials board tucked away with even more to choose from. If you can time your visit right, Tuesday is the move. They run a buy one pound, get one pound half off deal on snow crab legs, and it's easily one of the best values around. The snow crab legs are fresh and satisfying, and the Dungeness crab holds its own as well. Both pair perfectly with their rich, drawn butter, simple but done right. Portion sizes here are no joke. The shrimp skewers are almost excessive in the best way. Three skewers loaded with roughly eight shrimp each, so you're looking at around two dozen shrimp total, all a solid medium-large size. It's the kind of dish that makes you pause when it hits the table. The shrimp pasta is another standout and clearly a house favorite. It's packed with flavor and easily one of the more memorable dishes on the menu. Good enough that ordering a second one to-go actually makes sense. The clam chowder, though, was the one miss. While it's loaded with plenty of clam meat and has a hearty base, there's a slightly smoky flavor that throws it off. If you're a chowder fan, it might not hit the mark. Probably something to skip next time. As for the crab cakes, they passed a pretty tough test. A Maryland native at the table gave them a strong approval, which says a lot. Pro tip: Get there early, ideally around lunch, if you want to lock in that snow crab deal. It's popular, and you don't want to risk missing out. Overall, this is a reliable, crowd-pleasing seafood spot that leans into big portions, solid execution, and a relaxed coastal vibe. Whether you're a local or just visiting St. Pete Beach, it's an easy recommendation and definitely worth a return trip.
