    Crabcakes Benedict

    5 Lisa's Cafe - A Flavorful Beachside Brunch Worth the Splurge! We stopped by Lisa's for brunch, and WOW--every bite was packed with flavor and heart. Yes, it's a bit on the pricier side, but you're paying for top-notch food and genuinely great service right by the beach--totally worth it in my book. Let's talk food: I ordered the Crabcake Benedict (went with the Irish option--served with Lisa's homemade hash), and it was phenomenal. The hollandaise was silky, rich, and seasoned perfectly. The hash had just the right amount of crisp and spice, making it a hearty and satisfying pairing. The only minor letdown? The crabcakes themselves were a bit small for the price, but the flavor made up for it in a big way. We also tried the Biscuits & Sausage Gravy--hello, comfort food heaven. The gravy was creamy with a lovely peppery kick, clearly made with fresh sage, just like the menu promised. And the home fries? Golden, crispy, and beautifully seasoned, with a nice mix of bell peppers tossed in for flavor and color. Even the pineapple garnish was fresh and juicy--a nice tropical touch! The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. You could tell the staff genuinely cared about the guest experience. Plus, the lace tablecloths and outdoor setup made the whole experience feel cozy and charming. If you're brunching near the beach and want something homemade, flavorful, and memorable--Lisa's is the spot. Just be ready to spend a little extra for that beachside magic!

    Adding pics from our second visit. Had to try the eggs Benedict- very good. Service very good too. Really enjoyed both visits this week. Want to try the biscuits and gravy next time!!

    I came here by recommendation of a friend while visiting the area for a few days. I ordered myself an uber from Bilmar on my first morning for breakfast right at 9:00am, I wasn't even sure if they were officially open when I poked my head inside, confirming with the hostess that they were open and she got me set up with a table. The hostess, also my server was pleasant with a bubbly upbeat personality. As a first timer, I attentively listened as she provided an overview of the restaurant and menu. I was surprised by the cinder block walls being painted black, but they had family photos hanging and the tables/chairs were not flashy. The overall atmosphere I would describe as casual. Starting off my vacation, I knew I wanted to treat myself with an alcoholic beverage and decided on the mango bellini, which was pretty good, my meal however was pure perfection!!! I ordered the Irish Benedict and it was out of this world!!! English muffin, corned beef hash, eggs, smothered in hollandes sauce-OMG!!! This meal was exceptional. It was so hard for me not to give 5 stars and the only reason I didn't was because I thought things were a bit overpriced. My food alone was $24 and frankly I think that is waaaaayyyyyy too much. Thank you for a wonderful meal and service, if it was a bit more reasonable priced I would have made a second visit while on my 5 day vacation in the area! Thank you for a memorable meal!

    Lisa's is the cutest, most delicious brunch place ever! She makes everything from scratch - no mixes or fillers! She grows her own herbs and everything is fresh and beautifully prepared. Servers and Lisa are personable, accommodating and friendly. You'll always see a crowd, but Lisa manages to find you a spot!!

    Biscuits and Gravy

    Our meal at Lisa's in Madeira Beach was a real standout! Lisa herself was a gem, and the food? Absolutely phenomenal. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and was packed with mouthwatering flavor. The Eggs Benedict with Crab Cakes was a decadent treat, and the Biscuits and Gravy, especially paired with their unforgettable Corned Beef Hash, was equally satisfying. Seriously, that Corned Beef Hash was so good I had to order a second helping! The Crab Cakes were also top-notch. The only slight snag in an otherwise perfect meal was the unexpected $5 charge for a side of hollandaise sauce I requested because the cooks wouldn't put it on the food for me. Overall, Lisa's is a fantastic spot in Madeira Beach for incredibly fresh and delicious breakfast, and the friendly service (especially from Lisa!) truly adds to the charm. So...I guess never posted this a year ago Well. Another year, another great experience at Lisa's! Just like our visit, the food was absolutely fantastic - bursting with freshness and flavor. While the prices are a bit higher than I'd prefer, it's clear that you're paying for top-quality, fresh ingredients, and in this case, it's definitely worth the splurge. Our server was also great, providing incredibly friendly and attentive service.

    We arrived earlier than our hotel allowed for check in and we desperately needed some food after an early flight. As we drove down the beach, we noticed Lisa's and stopped in. My daughter had opted to catch some zzz's in the car while me and a friend went in to eat. Everything looked good. The menu stated nothing could be modified. As someone with allergies, this always makes me nervous but I was able to find a dish (eggs any way you want). It was good paired with a lemonade basil vodka. A neighboring table convinced us to try. My friend had the biscuits and gravy and really enjoyed it. You can't get to go orders (was hoping for my daughter) but you can order a meal that they will box up for you. Felt it was slightly strange especially since I was eating in, but ok. It all worked out. The reason for 3 stars is because the service was really poor. I noticed this isn't abnormal which is such a shame. When I return, I'll probably opt for other choices in the area that provide better service.

They had a fresh catch of grouper that day, so we decided to try the grouper nuggets. They're market price, but absolutely worth it. Even our friend preferred them over his fried fish. The batter was light, crispy, and delicious. Our kids ordered the bacon cheese fries and loved them. Just a heads-up: they use a nacho cheese sauce rather than shredded cheese, which some people may prefer to know ahead of time. Our friend from Massachusetts ordered the lobster sub (also market price) and said it was worth every penny. My husband and I split the grouper nuggets and the Philly cheesesteak. The bread is brought in from up north, and our server's recommendation did not disappoint. The sandwich was rich, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the onion rings. They use a beer batter, which wasn't our favorite, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism. Overall, we'd definitely return if we're in the area again. The only downside was parking--$29.99 for two hours is pretty brutal. Thankfully, the food and atmosphere helped make up for it.

All they could tell me about with some bar to go visit around the corner. Clearly they have their priorities. Had the fried clams and some shrimp. They were good. It's pretty hard to screw up fried stuff.... I think I should've ordered one of the sandwiches, they looked much better. Service was great. Kept my drink refilled and we were very attentive.

Snappers was packed at 6:30pm on a Tuesday night. However, as it was late July, we were able to get a table outside right away. There are fans to help with the heat, and it's well ventilated so there was a nice breeze. Our server was prompt and friendly. The menu was seafood with an Asian flair. We started with the crab stuffed portobello (probably the weakest part of the meal) and delicious coconut shrimp. After that, our entrees came with salads, which were also great (tortilla chips and a zesty dressing made it more fun than your usual house salad, but it didn't feel too decadent). I got the snapper, which was served over coconut rice and with a delicious curry sauce and mango chutney. The curry reminded me more of thinner Japanese curry versus Indian or Thai, which I loved. The snapper itself was a nicely-sized piece and was cooked/seasoned perfectly with a hint of spice. The coconut sticky rice was so addictive!! The sweetness of the mango chutney just made each bite a wonderful flavor explosion. I would 100% recommend this dish. My husband got the coconut cashew crusted mahi, which was also excellent (and another huge portion of fish). It seems like you can't go wrong here with a fish dish!

    So nice we had to visit TWICE…read more The coconut crusted mahi mahi was a highlight. It was soft and fully coated with obviously real coconut - not sugared or overly sweet. It was a huge fillet, which makes up for having some smaller sides. I'll let you in on a little secret, I only eat fish when it's locally caught and fresh and this was worth it 100%. The house salad with Pima colada dressing has me imagining how to make this dressing at home. Sweet and creamy and easily coating every leaf. The bread at the start of the meal for a disproportionate amount of attention from my family. It was served hot, with garlic and maybe other seasonings across the top, and generous sides of butter. Our initial server, Kyle, kept the bread flowing for us until the meal came and it was fantastic. We gave the potato skins a try, and they were delicious! My family ironically isn't huge conch / shelled fish eaters so the rest of the appetizers didn't suit us much and this was a lil Midwest taste while on vacation. We returned to try the jalapeño crusted grouper and were again very satisfied. Totally different than the coconut mahi, it's savory and well flavored but leaves you far from begging for water. The fish is thick and flaky and the sauce was similar to a bang bang sauce to pair it all together. The favorite sides were loaded baked potato and garlic smashed potatoes! I'd say it's a must visit during your trip to Madeira !

Although the restaurant has beautiful waterfront seating, we chose to sit inside since it was very hot outside. We started with the Louisiana Seafood Gumbo (bowl, $13.97), which was delicious. The Chicken Wings ($13.89 for 6 pieces) were outstanding and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. They were definitely my favorite dish of the meal. We also tried the Shrimp-N-Grits ($27.97), which was a unique combination of Argentine red shrimp, creamy cheese grits, sausage, tomatoes, scallions, and other ingredients. It was flavorful and different from anything we've had before. The Jambalaya ($21.93) was just okay. It had plenty of ingredients, but it was a little too salty for my taste. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant also has a full bar and, I believe, live music in the evenings, making it a great place to relax. We'll definitely come back the next time we're in St. Pete Beach.

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.
