    Grouper sandwich
    Caroline D.

    Really solid food & bev counter right on the beach. I enjoyed my blackened grouper sandwich (the filet was huge) and my pina colada was good too. They have lots of tables open nearby on the patio, and more dedicated chairs on the sand.

    Friendly staff and one of the best grouper sandwiches I've had in St Pete. It's right next to the beach so the ambiance is perfect; what more could you ask for? Oh you asked for beer? Yes, they have that too :)

    Smoothie
    Janis W.

    Had spent the morning at Pass-a-Grille Beach, and needed a place for lunch that would take a person covered in suntan lotion, sand, and sweat. You can walk right up to the counter and place your order. They give you a beeper to let you know when it is ready. I ordered a simple grilled cheese sandwich, fries, and a strawberry smoothie. The smoothie was ice cold and delicious, perfect for super hot beach day. The grilled cheese was simply perfection! Crispy, with just that slight salty bite to it, I wish I could go back more often! The fries were delicious as well. Lots of seating to pick from, and quite a few areas that had umbrellas or shade. Attached to the restaurant are changing rooms, as well as bathrooms, which was very convenient. Would highly recommend!

    Lovely drink from Paradise Grill

    Love this place. We were in St Pete for 10 days and came here to eat and hang out at least 6 of those days. We love the atmosphere, food, drinks and music. Service was fast and when you sit in one of the colorful chairs facing the ocean you always meet someone new.

    This spot is right on the beach and looks out to the water, so it's beautiful. It's picnic table style, order at the bar and wait for your food. We had cheeseburgers that were very good, and I'm picky about my burgers. Service is a little slow but they're busy and small, so come patient! I would say the customer service is lacking - don't expect warmth, however, I watched them have to deal with a lot of rude snow birds so I empathize.

    Their breakfast sandwich (scrambled eggs, sausage patty, cheese, on a toasted English muffin) is the best breakfast sandwich on the planet. This is true for both locations, St. Pete Beach and Pass-a-Grille. The two locations are a different beach experience. St. Pete Beach is the classic, wide, white sand beach with the cafe set in the dunes; Pass-a-Grille is a short beach which puts you very near the sound and energy of the surf. I honestly can't say I prefer one over the other, they're so different. BUT...they're equally good, including the food.

    We come to St. Pete at least once a year and every time we go to the other Paradise Grill multiple times. Because of the hurricanes it is closed so we decided to try this location and it did not disappoint! It is on the beach and has a great atmosphere. The staff were friendly and they have an excellent breakfast! It's literally my kids favorite place to eat!

    the food was okay. it wasn't anything crazy. Tenders needed seasoning. Fries were actually good. My bf said the grouper was an 8/10. There is outdoor seating and there was a man singing. The strawberry daiquiri is amazing!!!

    Found this place by accident walking around Pass a Grille beach area and saw an olen table outside. All their seating is outdoor as this is a beachfront cafe. We ordered a pound of peel and eat shrimp that was perfectly blacked and grilled, a half pound hamburger, and drinks. My wife was thrilled with the strawberry daiquiri and I just had a can of coconut water. We were thrilled with the service, food, and location. This is exactly what we were looking for later in the evening at the gorgeous beach.

    Right on the beach, grabbed some breakfast here. Wasn't as overpriced as the other restaurants nearby. Got the egg sandwich and it came with homefries too. And of course if you were to eat here you can look right at the beach.

    Wow. I expected more from a place rated 4 stars. To be…read morespecific we went to the beach bar because the restaurant wasn't open yet. The very first issue was parking. Parking is minimum $50 a day + fees. A cocktail? For an hour? Haha no. I'm being mildly disingenuous. The bar staff (and likely restaurant staff) will give you a QR code to validate all $58 of your parking. But it made me acutely miss a time when you could just park and patronize an establishment. Just don't forget to validate your parking, cuz they sure didn't ask preemptively. They were celebrating a 3-day grand reopening when we went on Saturday. There was *one* artisan in their market space. The music was pumping loud enough to not be able to converse. Although it drew a crowd of younger folks, there was not much to behold from the "grand" reopening. Not even s cost of paint. The beach bar may not have been part of the sprucing up idk, I didn't see anything worth celebrating. I meant to look at the size of the cocktail cup that we got (small), but $13-14 for a cocktail is highway robbery for the end result. And $18 for 6 wings ($3 a wing) was a little disappointing. I expected better of a Hilton adjoined restaurant. No one part was terrible. It was just the way they matched up - loud, expensive, small portions. If you're loud maybe you're cheap and tasty. If you're expensive, maybe you're fast and delicious. This was all the worst parts of a bar that doesn't care about its patrons' economics. A bar that wants to serve tourists with mediocrity and move on to the next crop of people who will never be there again. If you're a tourist it'll probably be fine, if overpriced. If you're a local, don't bother. To be fair, we should ask if there was anything good. hm ... no. We won't be returning. 3 stars is probably generous.
