Perfect place for the whole family. We saw Encanto with our boys and it was a great experience! The food was delicious as well!

We were in the area, up from Sarasota, and were looking for good, local food. An amazing lunch left us so happy we found this place. The vibe was great - even with the restrictions - and you can tell this would normally be a busy and exciting place. Staff was warm and welcoming on arrival. We ordered pickle sticks and white truffle popcorn for starters, both of which arrived piping hot. I had the Speakcheesy burger and my wife had the caprese salad. The burger, with a hefty side of fries, was simply excellent. Bun was perfectly toasted, and the patty was well cooked. The burger was a good size too - not one of those giant burgers you can't get in your mouth. The salad was the most beautiful salad I've ever seen - gorgeously prepared. Fresh veggies and cheese and a great balsamic dressing made it a treat. Thanks to Shawn (Shaun) for taking great care of us - and our kids - as we enjoyed lunch and a break from the heat. Highly recommend! read more

Cute little place, so many drool worthy options. Bartenders and wait staff are super friendly. Loved the experience. The food was delicious. I'll definitely be back. read more

Great bar food and cocktails, service is pleasant but slow. A good experience. Great burgers and onion rings.

Incredibly I give this place a second chance and the exact same thing. I order a pricy drink and it comes after I'm almost done with my entree. At least this time the server caught it. Last time I had to hunt her down. Hospitality aside, purely from a business point of few. It's hard to order a second cocktail when you can't get your first. I want to like this place since it's so close to me but I'm out. read more

I feel like it's getting better. The food was better. The service was better. I never like to think a place is down and out but it's hard to make a comeback. Gigglewaters is getting there, can't give them 5 stars yet but I can see it in the future. Solid 4 and worth the visit. read more

Another hit! My friend and I had a Saturday Brunch this past weekend. Staff was awesome. It was hot and humid and we'd just spent a couple hours at Phillepe Park and were done. Indoors wonderfully cool. We were sat immediately, had water then drinks came right behind. One was Tito Bloody Mary, yum. Spicy goodness. The other a white sangria yummy, sweet and cold! For meals we both opted for omelets. Pleasant choices, cheesy and cooked properly. Tater tots too (such a treat food for me). Also! Super fun discovery...they play a movie every evening! How cool is that? Gotta go back for it!! read more

Brittany is the best bartender. Great service. Makes an awesome Lucky Coconut martini. Ask for a tour of the screening room if it's not too busy. read more

We held an event in the movie theatre at Gigglewaters, and it was absolutely wonderful!! The service was OUTSTANDING, as was the food and ambiance. Meredith did an amazing job, all the food was hot and delicious, drinks were great and everything was organized, nobody waited for anything, all our needs were anticipated and we plan on holding more events there in the future! Kudos! read more

Very unique speakeasy vibe with awesome cocktails. Most of the food is tasty, but not ground breaking. They do movie nights which is pretty interesting although I haven't experienced one just yet. read more

Hit up Saturday brunch with a short wait around 1215pm. Nice outside seating area. Everyone enjoyed their drinks/food! I had the Big Lebowski, a coffee/liquor drink and it was delicious. The chicken and waffles with cookie butter was cooked perfect and so darn good. The waffle batter was so good, tasted as if there were sugar crystals in the dough. read more

Large group of out of town visitors. Initially sat outside to enjoy the fresh air in downtown Safety Harbor it got chilly and we wimped out but the hostess did a great job of putting some tables together inside. super attentive service despite being very busy. Don't remember the name of the burger i got but it had a waffle in it. Totally not needed but burger was good after took the waffle out. I recall some tasty very thin battered pickle spears but memory is a little fuzzy. bathroom pathing was odd as it took you past the kitchen. Would definitely go back. Cocktails were good Faster drinks came to the table than standing at the bar. . read more

I could eat and drink here everyday. Hot dogs, grilled cheese, burgers and more + amazing old fashions!!!!

Great outdoor seating, solid food, friendly wait staff, just a little slow when restaurant is more than half full.

I can't really understand why this place has 5 stars. They're completely unorganized. The food is not good. The drinks were whatever and the service was terrible. We never even got a second set of silverware. We ordered the 1919 and the chippy. The 1919 was cold and the chippy was all sauce. read more

Great food, fun atmosphere with great movies! Excellent Bourbon selection!! Highly recommend the chicken sandwiches & burgers. read more

LOVE GIGGLEWATERS!!! They have hands down the best chicken n waffles, served with cookie butter Their hotdogs wrapped in bacon are huge and to die for! While we were there we noticed people going to a back room with popcorn, we asked our server what was going on, they have a MOVIE THEATRE! Our sever was nice enough to give us 2 free movie tickets! Cant wait to check this place out again and pop in for a movie! read more

Great service! The smoked old fashioned is AMAZING! This is one of my favorite places to be

This place has one of the best burgers Ive had in a long time. The burgers are made with wagyu beef. So so good! The wife had the frito pie and I tried it and it was pretty good. How can you go wrong with frito pie? Not only is the food really good but the drinks are out of this world. They make craft cocktails that taste so good you will chug them down quickly. Be careful because you can get tipsy very fast due to the tasty alcoholic drinks. Ive never seen a movie here but I plan on it soon! The movie theater is in the back. This place gets busy and isnt very big so arrive early. Safety harbor is a pretty good spot to hang out and walk around. Lots of other bars and restaurants in the immediate area and the scenery is nice along the main street. read more

Midweek we stopped for drinks and a snack during happy hour. It did not make me happy. NO ONE greeted us, came to take out order and we sat and sat. We left if you don't want our business we have other choices. read more

Nearly 5 stars-rated highly by some of my favorite peeps! So we headed over the bridge for our pick-up-anyone-from-the-airport-go-out-to-eat 'excuse'. Friendly hostess, table inside or out? Well, after reading the reviews that a movie is playing - I want in! The Big Lebowski tonight! What I didn't know is you pay 5$ to get 'in' the restaurant portion to watch the movie....could I take a peek in the see what that was about? I asked our server....the answer was a strong 'no' :( then the response that I tell a child... 'if we did that for one person we would have to do it for everyone', which I understand,but I wanted a small peek....oh well Ambiance: very dark,loud,bar area, old 20's decor with the tin stamped ceilings- def some $ put into setting the scene of the restaurant. Kudos on that. Need something to absorb the sound. Ok drinks- Gigglewater is lemonade with JD honey whiskey- no thanks. The other items were cute names adapted to the ambiance they are trying to create. old fashion comes non-smoked or smoked in their 'smoke box' for $1.5 ...yes I want it smoked. Mom, though, does not (fyi....they tasted the same, and OK). Margarita- like a blood orange margarita with black salt on the rim was a thumbs up-very tart For the juniors they have a kids menu- chic tenders, and 2 other things...my kids were not impressed. Food: Apps- fries zucchini with truffle aioli- I can wrap myself in these! Crisp, Hot, well executed. Bootlegger fries with cheese, pork cubes, ranch and jalapeño. Also very good-but fries are hard to mess up! Hamburger-Swiss-mushroom and onion, was OK-the onion overpowered the mushroom flavor, the good size patty was dry, not overcooked, but just needed a bit more fat. Steak frites was huge portion, well cooked, minimal seasoning, delivered by the sweet chef who brought me more heavenly truffle aioli to dip my filet in....salad and roasted green beans were also nice- fresh and crisp. So a burger, 2 steaks, 5 drinks, 2 sodas, 2 apps, extra side of veggies = out the door with tip = $180 You don't get to watch a movie while you eat UNLESS you pay for it and get seated there- 32 seats so plan ahead. The food was good, drinks, fair, cost high Don't sit inside if you'd like to have a convo- too loud read more

Always spot on service from the crew here. Be sure to start off with the gourmet popcorn while sipping your beer and people watching on Main Street. Fried pickles is a strong starter too! It's a huge basket with plenty to share. I ordered the homemade crispy chicken tenders which were unbelievably tasty and a crazy choice of dipping flavors to choose from. Next visit I am definitely going to try the chicken and waffles! read more

Would recommend. We came in around 7:00 pm and were seated immediately. Heat lamps were outside as well as cute lights, which created a good ambience. I got the speakcheesy burger and enjoyed it. The mac n cheese as a topping was done well--I cannot say the same of some other places I've been to. The fries were a bit lackluster though. Great service. read more

This place has been on my list for a while from yelp reviews and instagram posts. I finally made a trip out to safety harbor to see what all the fuss was about and I am still wondering. I think maybe if it had not been hyped up so much I would be a little more impressed. Or if I wasn't sticker shocked comparing the level of food vs price tag. What I feel like I found was a very small very overpriced slightly elevated bar type food. I did not check out the Theater so if that is the main reason to visit I missed out. I ordered the Lansky dog which I heard so much about, although I was hesitant because paying $13 for a hot dog is a little cray. This is a hotdog wrapped in bacon and deep fried then covered in cream cheese and everything bagel seasoning. Really all I tasted was cream cheese and a stale bun and there was very little seasoning on top. For a $13 hot dog I expect to be amazed which I was not. The side was fries. Not worth the price and not amazing in taste either. The person I was with ordered the plain Jane burger. Now although I admit this was not a great choice given all of the other amazing sounding burgers on the menu this once again comes down to price. Why is this plain hamburger and fries $13? The fully stacked burgers with all the craziness I get. But they are the same price or maybe only $2 more. The best part of this meal was the 21 club mule drink that I ordered. Giant fishbowl drink although I believe it had only alcohol to fill one small drink the taste was there. The price was $15 and for that price it should be much stronger in my opinion. Location is in quiet and quaint downtown safety harbor with the choice of a few tables or bar for indoor seating and some umbrella tables outside for outdoor seating. Service was very slow but they were maybe busier than they are used to due to an event. It may be that I didn't order the right items for the best impression, however, at those prices with the type of food they serve I don't think I will be back to find out. I wanted to love this place but to me it feels like a one and done. The ambiance just isn't there to bring me back and it doesn't sound exciting for me to drive to safety harbor and pay $30 for just a hot dog and drink. 1 hotdog, 1 plain hamburger, 1 mixed drink & one coke = $50 read more

Service terrible Attitudes by staff at seating!!! Never will go back!!!Impossible Burger read more

Such an amazing experience here for dinner! We arrived on a rainy evening as they were moving guests from outside tables to inside tables. The staff were very friendly despite the chaos brought on by the rain. As seats opened up at the bar, the hostess found us to tell us so that we didn't have to spend more time waiting for a table inside (which was already packed). The bartender who took care of us was 100% on top of everything from start to finish. My Impossible Burger (The Winnfield) was cooked to perfection, as were the fries. My husband also go a burger with onion straws, cheese, and bacon on top and said it was one of the best burgers he'd had. We loved the food so much that I didn't even stop to think to take a picture of it. Paired with the atmosphere, service, this is hands down one of my new favorite places in the area. We will definitely return! read more

What a really cool place. The atmosphere was very comfortable and interesting. Cool bar/restaurant combo and in the back, a small movie theater that plays old movies while serving food/drinks. The food was really good. Hubby and I both chose chicken sandwiches, one grilled, the other fried. Very, very tasty. Not a thin, crummy piece of chicken but a nice chicken breast. Our waitress was super friendly and the manager, Kayla, also very attentive and making sure our visit was perfect. Interesting menu with items named after old movie themes/people. Definitely worth a return visit!! read more

Gigglewaters - Chicken sandwich menu - American Near Me - Safety Harbor, Florida

Service did not impress me and neither did the food. The "1919 Burger" was the strangest hamburger I've ever had. It was some kind of mushy mystery meat and it tasted old. And for $19 it was ridiculously overpriced. Server was absent for the most part; she never refilled water or soda, etc. read more

I think a friend of mine told me about this place a few weeks ago. So, I thought I'd try it out. I went with my partner and a friend. This is a cute little place once you step inside. Sorta gave me that speak-easy vibe. I wasn't quite sure if we sat ourselves or not, it's not really stated anywhere but, apparently you do seat yourself. Once we sat, our waiter came rather quickly with some waters for us. We decided on some drinks and an appetizer. I got the Gigglejuice for my drink, and we all split the bootlegger fries. The drinks came out rather quickly, as well as the appetizer. My Gigglejuice was delicious. It was the perfect amount of lemonade and jack. I really don't think they could have made it any better. Now the appetizer was also delicious. It was basically a "higher end" garbage fries. There were large chunks or sweet bacon, lots of melted cheese, some scallions, a little dish with some pickled jalapeños and it was all smothered in ranch. I loved it. About 3 mins after we got done with the appetizer, our main course came out. I decided to go with the chicken and waffles. Now, the waffles were already sweet without any syrup or whipped cream on it. So once you put all that plus the cookie butter, you're glad you have that tied chicken breast to balance it out. The fried breast was juicy and flavorful. It came with a nice crunchy batter. It was one of the better chicken and waffles that I've had. I would say I was quite impressed with the food I got. My friend got the Goldie Mac, she seemed to enjoy it and the bite I had was quite good. My partner got the reservoir dog, which he did enjoy. His side dish of the green beans was rather dull tho. It really just tasted like it was steamed with no seasoning. This aside, we all enjoyed our food. Now the reason I gave it 4 stars was due to the service. Our server was attentive at first, but then he would disappear for quite long periods of time. Getting the check took like 10 mins and then waiting for him pick them back up took another 15. Now working in food service, I know things happen, so I wasn't too mad about it. But, it did knock my rating down a star. If you made it this far, I would 100% recommend you give this place a try! I'm sure you'll enjoy it! read more

We used to LOVE going to Gigglewaters. We hadn't been in awhile so went there a few times in the last couple of months. The food is ALWAYS good. BUT, the service not. It doesn't matter if they are busy or slow, happened both times, the cocktails take forever. Trust me I know all about craft cocktails and never had an issue here or other places. If we order once we sit down, still they come out way after apps and order another we get it after we are finsihed with dinner. One time it was the server's fault because she never brought them to us. We saw them sitting there. The server also didn't bring us water when we ordered the cocktails. She made us wait till the cocktails were up at the bar. The cocktails took 15 minutes to get to us. Would have been nice to have a water with our apps at least. I hope the owner reads this and has a talk with the waitstaff. read more

What can I say about giggle waters that hasn't already been said they have plenty of awards on the wall and they've earned every one of them. It's a great spot I love the ambience everybody is in such a great mood it's a fantastic lil spot that has the Greatest food, my Chicky melt was Amazing and I'm not a huge fan of chicken salad sandwiches but this one blew me away. My wife had the chorro French toast and I tasted it it's exactly what you think it is but with a great surgery glaze. I would proudly give this restaurant a 5 star review and say if your close stop in for a meal or a meal and a movie. That's my next date night fellas they have a screening room in the back and I'll review that after. Happy eating read more

How neat is it that this restaurant has a theater? Photographs of celebrities adorned with tattoos. Quirky decor and poppy music. Indoor and outdoor seating. We sat inside at the big red booth for the music and Roaring 20s theme. Next time I will sit outside under the big oak trees and watch passers by. Cute tip: At brunch try the unlimited mimosas for one hour. They will place a teeny tiny sign marked with the time you begin on your table. I like this place and will return with my tattoo shirt! read more

Holy yum!!! Went last night after taking the pup for a walk at the Marina. We have the world's best server Brittany who made some delicious suggestion. Also provided us with a pup menu!!! Bootlegger fries were our appetizer yummy and cheesy! We ordered Virgil Starkwell yummy juicy crispy chicken!!! The commissionsr was super delicious and huge.

Great impossible burger! They nailed it!!! The truffle fries were also a hit! My daughter is super picky and she loved the pretzels and the chicken strips! Amy was our waitress and she was very sweet! Thank you, Gigglewaters!!! read more

We had the best time doing dinner and a movie. Hopefully we might do this for a birthday!

My husband and I stopped in here after reading the great reviews on Yelp. I gave in a 3 and he gave it a 5, so I settled in a 4 and here's why. This place is GREAT if you aren't particular and a picky eater. I'm a picky eater, so each thing I ordered was a little different than I expected. And that's not always a bad thing! Just depends on your preference! Example: I ordered the hot dog and asked for my chili on the side because you never know what type of chili it'll be and I was correct! It was a chili loaded with veggies, which I don't feel like is typical for your normal chili cheese coney! But my husband absolutely loved the chili- so again, it all depends on your preference, but I have the palette of a 4 year old :) Our server was so sweet and kind. Absolutely LOVED the decor and the music. Everything was super swanky and authentic. I love the idea of having a small theater in the back to play old school movies. I definitely think businesses that go out of their way to be original should be supported and I really hope this place continues to thrive! PS- I overheard the bartender speaking with another couple and apparently the owners are from NYC and work on the Howard Stern show. How cool! This place definitely has a NYC feel to it read more

If you crave a juicy burger or fried- not greasy- indulgences- or a finely made cocktail- then this menu is perfect. A popular spot in lovely Safety Harbor- I would recommend for a group to share some apps or a big fat burger or dog. It is not a "clean" eating menu by any stretch, but I was pleasantly surprised to find the fried pickles and zucchini hit the spot with lots of tasty dipping sauces. Outdoor patio seating is ample and COVId- friendly. Our server was a delight- great recommendations. Must stop in at least once if you are in the area. read more

Great atmosphere, service and the food was fantastic . We stopped in for an afternoon appetizer and cold beverage

Great little restaurant tucked away in a great little town. Have a smoky old fashioned and watch a movie
