I ordered seadog's blueberry wheat which is one of my favorite beers in the area. To eat we split 12 oysters, the crab fries, and a warm lobster roll. I guess we reached for the lobster roll before snapping pics as I'm realizing I have none. It was all phenomenal though. There were three different types of oysters we got, the Tampa bay oyster were definitely the most salty if that's what you prefer! There were three different sauces to use--a Bloody Mary cocktail sauce, old bay sauce (my personal favorite), and a mist you can spritz on. The crab fries had a good amount of crab, seasoning, and sauce. Never a bland bite. The star of the show was the lobster roll not pictured though. Perfectly buttery and cooked, with a good portion of lobster. Service was quick and friendly. Ambiance is boat themed and clean and cute. We will definitely be back when looking for a good brunch near the beach.

The crostini could have used more butter. Entrees were good, not exceptional. We had a special, chicken piccata and a Nicoise. For dessert one couple had an apple cobbler which had way too much cake and not enough apple. Tasty but again, not great. When the bill came, both the appetizer and the dessert were split when one couple oredeeed and ate both. It wasn't enough to complain about but was a clear sign that the server didn't listen when he was told how to prepare the checks. It is a cute place with outdoor seating if you don't mind busy traffic zipping by. Sorry I forgot to take pictures of the food.

This is a must stop at when we are in town. Their food has been consistent for the 10+ years that…read morewe've been coming down here. When we get into town, they're always our first stop for lunch. They have a pretty extensive menu of options, but our go to is the fried grouper sandwich with American cheese and no lettuce or tomato. Our other go to is the lobster roll. Now this go around we did notice the lobster was more shredded than it was chunks which is what we've seen previously so that was a bit of a change, but overall, it was still good. We've had the onion rings before but this go round we decided to share a side of french fries and we did ask for them crispy. They were perfect. Be prepared to wait though as this location is super small and if you come during a busy season or around that lunchtime period you're most likely going to have to wait. This is not a great location for large groups. If you have more than five people in your group this is probably not the best location for you as they cannot seat more than one large group at a time. But, one thing we did notice is that you can walk up and order to go. That's a great option to have and something we may take advantage of in the future.

General groceries are expensive so choose wisely. Sometimes you can find items 2 for 1 The deli department serves Boars Head meats and cheeses. The prices aren't bad. The counter help are so good at finding exactly what you need and service is always with a smile. To the right of the deli department is a grinder station, that is always busy because there are always good deals especially if you're going to the beach. Parking is ground level and you take an elevator up to the second floor, which is where the grocery store is located, and also protected from storms! This is a great set up.

What I ordered: - Mango Nut Crusted Grouper Fresh Florida Grouper crusted with macadamia, pistachio, and walnuts with a Mango Beurre Blanc & coconut basmati rice. (MUST ORDER) - Pineapple Upside Down Cake: Fluffy golden cake, glazed pineapple topped with candied pecans and a pineapple Irish cream rum sauce.

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.
