Been coming here every weekend for 10 years. * Food - you wouldn't expect a shack on beach serve quality, but they do, every time. * Value - no complaints. Portions are spot on. * service - every employee, everytime, has a smile, is friendly , and helpful. You wouldn't expect to get such good service. You can tell that every aspect of this place is actually managed. Very Refreshing!! * I could go on but will keep this short. Love this place and proud of the job they do. When I have friends visiting from out of town, this is the beach where I bring them and never have an issue spending my hard earned money here. They will even give you a cup of water with a smile. * it helps that pass-a-grille is such a lovely area. Catch the right time for live music. read more

It's location, location, location, fun, fun, fun and more! Plus, there is friendly and professional order taking service with a nicely organized ordering and pickup system. I enjoyed sitting outside, right by the beach, at a very sunny picnic table with an umbrella for partial shade. Bring your sunscreen as I did and all is well! It was fun to take in the whole slightly chaotic but totally safe family-friendly scene on a holiday morning! Energizing! Parking is a challenge but hey, I like to walk and explore so I had fun with it. Just be aware, some searching for a public or nearby parking spot may be required. Carpooling or ride sharing is recommended if possible. I'm on a strict no-fried-food, no chemicals, no preservatives, no gluten, no sugar, no dairy diet so choices for breakfast were limited as expected. All good. I enjoyed my properly cooked eggs and the lady who took my order was kind and helpful. I should have ordered the fruit bowl as well but I didn't see it on the menu until now. No problem! Next time! My guests also said their paradise omelets were properly cooked and delicious! Our food also was prepared in a very reasonable amount of time considering the crowd which was impressive! Please do not expect eggs Benedict, table cloths and fancy plates. This is a fun place right on the beach with plastic silverware and styrofoam containers. @Peter and Vandana joined for the meal and we laughed, relaxed, ate, chatted, took in the scene, enjoyed the morning and then... Vandana brought out the huge conch shell. I was first to attempt tooting the massive horn but it just wasn't happening. Peter was a bit better than I. Vandana, on the other hand, warned ships well over the horizon that we were here and ready for fun! Kids jumped and clapped their hands. Adults stared in stunned silence. Everyone was deafened. My Apple Watch warned me of dangerous audio conditions that might cause permanent hearing damage if the sound kept up! It was an awesome and skilled display of awesomeness! This was no simple toot. It was a blast! Thank you Vandana! Memorable to say the least! Plus, I can still hear just fine and dandy. Life is a blast with a fun and very memorable meal on the beach! Thanks Paradise Grille! read more

I'm not sure why Elite All-Star Dave W and I decided to try the Paradise Grille on Good Friday during Spring Break. We always meet early to avoid the crowds, but there was no avoiding crowds today. Parking is a nightmare. I ended up finding a spot 3 blocks away after driving around for 15 minutes and my spot was closest to the restaurant out of the three of us who showed up for breakfast. Dave W was easy to spot because he's so tall. We grabbed a recently vacated picnic table that had an umbrella for shade. I held the Fort against all comers while Dave W snagged us some food. Paradise Grille is really just a large kiosk. People order and pay, then you get a numbered pager device to let you know when your food is ready at the pickup window. Styrofoam containers, plastic tableware, and outdoor picnic table seating pretty much tell you everything you need to know about the food. BUT since it is on the beach in a resort town the prices are about the same as a sit down restaurant with table service! $4 for 12oz bottled water gives you an idea there. I got a two egg omelette stuffed with spinach, cheese, and sausage with little skittle size potatoes. Not sure of the price because Dave W treated, but I think it was around $15. They also sell alcoholic beverages. Dave W had the Grille recommended to him by his Yoga instructor, and she joined us for breakfast. Vandana is a fun girl. Not only is she a Yoga Master, but she brought along a huge conch shell. The sound she got out of this thing was like a foghorn. People from as far as a couple of hundred yards away all turned to look, and nearby patrons waiting in line all clapped. Dave W and I both tried it and could only get a little toot out of the thing. And I played Sax for 20 years in a wedding band! Besides the spring breakers there were a lot of families and kids running around as well. I'd guess that 500 people were spread out along a few hundred yards of shoreline. There was also arts and crafts vendors set up in a patio near the restaurant. To justify the crowds, impossible parking, and high prices, there was a lot of nice scenery. Definitely a party atmosphere. If you are spending the day on the beach you can justify the high prices. But as a breakfast or lunch spot, there is too little food for too much money. read more

This place may seriously have the best location and some of the best views in America. The sunsets are amazing. Not your typical seaside grub either. The food is outstanding and very reasonably priced, like surprisingly reasonable. Good sized portions. The staff is super friendly. Very chill vibe. Can't say enough good things about it! read more

We had lunch while spending the day at Pass A Grill beach. The food was very fresh, the portions were generous and service was fast and made to order. They have a nice offering of cocktails and beer and have plenty of tables for dining or enjoying your cocktails. The food was very good and not your typical beach food. They have a pretty extensive menu so there is likely something for everyone and they serve breakfast as well. The Peel and eat shrimp were well worth it, nice and spicy, served with cocktail sauce and 11 large shrimp per order. The wings also a good choice. They offered blackened and Buffalo style both on the bone. Pulled pork tacos were also good. Not your traditional pulled pork taco though. It had barbecued pork and coleslaw on it, very tasty. The chicken quesadilla was loaded with cheese and chicken. All food was fresh, cooked to order and the staff was as friendly and helpful as can be. I definitely recommend for a good meal, then come back for a cocktail and watch the sunset on the beach. Plenty of chairs for viewing. read more

This is such a great setup. Good menu choices, lots of fun and colorful seating. Very clean. Get view right on the beach!! Drink menu also. Bathrooms available. They now have cute little gift shop too. Lots of parking, super busy on weekends and holidays so parking fills up quickly. The only reason for 4/5 stars is some of the workers are not friendly and borderline rude. This has been this vibe with my last several visits and is why it's being mentioned. read more

Great beach spot. You can get food and drinks. It was busy when we got there around 1:30. I didn't have the food I can only comment on the vibe and drinks. The staff is friendly and they handle the crowd very well. Not drinker and I love you can get any drink workout alcohol. I did a margarita and rum punch and my sister in law had the Miami Vice. Although I didn't have the food for what I saw folks were enjoying it. They also had a little Flee Market and live music. A nice chill vibe with a walk on the beach. What else can you ask for? read more

This was such a fun stop--I picked it so that we could have brunch on the beach, and was not at all disappointed!! The food is served from a large kiask-type building. There were several staff working, and they were friendly and helpful with the few questions I had while ordering. The meals were very reasonably priced--we got a lot of food for our 2 meals at $40. I love that condiments (butter, jelly, syrup, etc.) are available to pick up when you get your food, since I like a lot more than is normally given with a meal! The food tasted great and was very fresh. The home fries were my favorite part, and I'm not even a potato person at all! The seasoning on these was absolutely delicious, they were cooked perfectly crispy, and were the big star of the show for me!! The bacon was also cooked perfectly. The French toast and pancakes were great, but nothing spectacular. Everything was hot and fresh which made it delicious! But the best part was eating at their outdoor tables right off the beach by just a few yards. Totally worth coming for that experience alone, but I'm glad the food was delicious as well!! read more

Paradise Grille - Enjoy the view - American Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

What a fun place to come to grab a drink and a bite and watch the sunset. It's a walk up counter order place then find your own table. Can get tricky if it's a high volume day. But it's the only place you can actually eat food on the beach because they have an overhead wiring system that keeps seagulls from swooping in and stealing your food. Prices are reasonable read more

Awesome food at both locations. If you want to have an immersive each alfresco eating experience you must try these places. The one in Passe Grille has a fantastic sun set, have a drink and dinner and watch our incomparable sunsets. read more

Had 10 people in my party, 6 kids (tired, hungry & thirsty but indecisive @end of beach & swim day. The pretty lady taking our order was patient & kind and the cook was attentive and expedient. The non-alcoholic strawberry and pina colada daiquiri were delicious & refreshing, salad was fresh, fries were great & onion rings were sweet & crispy. Burgers & hot dogs were enjoyed by the kids & adults; Mahi blackened tacos were excellent. Fried Chicken sandwich & fried grouper platter were good too. Best of all, they remained open to fill every order for those in line after us despite posted closing time. Great value for current market prices! And, we got to enjoy sunset while picnic style dining moments from the sand & surf. read more

As much as I love to bring a pub sub on the beach, sometimes it is nice to just forget the cooler and grab something to eat at the beach. I've ordered from Paradise Grill a few times and every time I sit down on my beach chair with a fresh buffalo chicken wrap in hand, I thank myself that I did not choose to bring my own food onto the beach. The wrap comes with chicken, tomato, lettuce, and buffalo sauce. I typically get a side of fries with my order. It is so yummy and is a perfect pick-me-up after a long day in the sun. Also, they have a large menu, so you have a wide selection of food to choose from. My sister ordered the chicken strip basket and enjoyed it. Naturally, the only challenge with bringing hot food onto the beach is the birds. Be prepared that birds may be flying around you if you choose to eat on the beach as opposed to the many tables they have outside the restaurant (which is maybe the better option lol). You can also purchase cocktails and beer at the bar. Last spring, my friend and I visited St. Pete and ordered some drinks along with food. I got a mango daiquiri and my friend ordered a rum + coke, both drinks were yummy and refreshing. Such a fun place to visit on a beach day and is the perfect spot to watch the sunset at! read more

We were staying nearby for the weekend and my husband suggested we head over this way to check it out and find something to eat. It was a perfect excursion. There was a little art fair on the patio and the restaurant was open for breakfast. The menu offers muffins, coffee, breakfast sandwiches and omelettes. I went with a breakfast sandwich and my husband had a muffin. Both tasted great. The ambiance is the best part, though, with plenty of colorful chairs and tables overlooking the beach. read more

Lives in the area 5 years never been down to Pass A grill before. Stopped here for lunch and what a gem! Right on the beach, which you don't really see along the pinellas county beaches, you can walk right off the beach and get a burger. . They have a walk up window, you order and they give you a vibrator, and you pick up your food. Plenty of places to sit including Adirondack chairs right on the beach. Food was great! Will 100% be here again! read more

Come for the location and the sunset views! Despite being insanely busy, the staff was friendly and moved the line quickly. Live music was a nice addition! I was surprised how fast my buzzer went off notifying me my buffalo chicken wrap was ready! Food was hot and fresh. Appreciate the availability of local beers to drink, I opted for an orange IPA from 3 Daughters. Seating is limited, but easy to take your food down to the beach. Just watch out for the seagulls, they will steal your fries! read more

Snazzy little eatery and watering hole placed right on the beachfront. We've been taking early morning walks along the packed white and gentle roll of waves on a 3.5 mile loop. It's currently February, it's early walking, but a need to hydrate is always there. We stopped on our return leg, walked up to the outdoor counter and ordered a Bud Zero and an Orange slushy fresh from a blender. Meanwhile, comfort stations were used and we then enjoyed the colorful surrounds at the Grille. Being a Sunday morning brunch items were available to order, but we had already eaten back at base camp. read more

Ok. Well, we decided to stop off at Pass a Grille Beach so my partner could check it out. We were up in St Pete for something and decided to make it a day there. We found this place we gave it a shot. First we were set a back by the amount of people waiting in line - mostly young people enjoying the day at the beach. But surprisingly the line moved quickly and our order was taken and delivered expediently. All good stuff! Got a nice picnic table with a beach view. It was a beautiful day . Food was very good. I got the Gulf Grouper Sandwich done perfectly. My partner got what she said was a very good chicken sandwich. Drinks were also good. This is a better than expected place considering it was on the beach. read more

We are so happy to see paradise grill up and running again after the hurricane last year; it was not open the last time we were in town. We went for breakfast today and it was phenomenal as always! We also had mimosas which were a nice addition to our brunch! They had a small market of vendors and live music too! They have the best sunsets! And the bell made it through the hurricane! read more

My sister and I split the breakfast burrito with sausage and it was filling and delicious! Loved that it had some fresh veggies for texture, and the side potatoes were flavorful. And the view of the ocean just can't be beat - so gorgeous! read more

A solid spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Fast service and good food. The drink prices are great - I paid 7.99 for a spicy Bloody Mary to go with my ~23.00 Grouper sandwich. The fish was very generous and was well prepared. Unfortunately, the fries were cold and the coleslaw had seen better days. That said, it's hard to beat eating lunch at a picnic table with an ocean view. read more

Paradise Grille - Grouper Sandwich - American Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

This is my favorite spot in the St Pete beach area! It's great if you're looking for a nice, low effort visit to the beach. The Grille sits just above the sand, and has a large food and drink menu that's really reasonable. It's a walk up snack shack, and the staff is always fun and attentive. Be sure to stay really protective of your food though, as sea gulls will try to steal it! The best experience is at sunset, when they have someone from the crowd ring a bell as soon as the sun disappears over the water. It's the best! read more

"Wow" is the first thing that comes to mind when describing my experience with the Paradise Grille at Upham Beach. I expected frozen, snack-shack type food, but what I received was nothing short of a delicious, made-to-order, super-sized seafood extravaganza! Grouper nugget dinner thoroughly impressed. Absolutely will be back!!! read more

I want to say that I love paradise grill but I had a bad experience today. I have always gone in the morning and really enjoy the breakfast burrito but today it was past 11:30. So I tried the grouper nuggets and boy was I disappointed. The service was great but since when do you tip 25% for a walk up window order that you have to go get Yourself when your alarm goes off. No service. No one to complain too after you have paid so much for mediocre fish! Sorry I will not return and I am local. read more

FLORIDA!!! Spent our first day here on the beach and decided to grab a quick bite. I DID NOT think the grouper sandwich would be this huge!!! Could use a little more salt and seasoning. I ended up eating it for 2 meals. Pina colada was delicious also and came with a slice of pineapple. Overall 5/5 Food 4.5/5 Drinks 4/5 read more

Paradise Grille - American Near Me - Saint Petersburg, Florida

A beachy shack serving burger/seafood/fried foods at Pass-A-Grille Beach. They have a surprisingly large menu (breakfast too!), and the prices are fair. Soda, beer, wine, seltzer, Gatorade, mixed drinks are available - the drink list goes on and on. I ordered a grilled cheese ($6.50) which came with fries and a pickle. A good portion that kept me full all afternoon. My Nutrl alcoholic seltzer was $5. Altogether, $12.31 (including tax) for a nice lunch and a cocktail. The lines seemed long but they moved fast. You're given a buzzer to let you know when your food is ready, and there are lots of picnic tables. It's a perfect place to grab something to eat without losing your place on the beach. Like others have said, you just can't beat the view. read more
