    Awesome food! Everybody loved the food. We miss the nostalgia though. Gone is the tea in mason jars and the days of none of the plates or utensils were matching. Service was good

    Blackened Fish Samwich with turnip greens
    Kristy S.

    The food was fantastic! The food came out very quickly for a party of more than 30. I had the blackened fish samwich which I would eat again. The sweet tea isn't so sweet. The service was great. It feels like home inside. The bathrooms were clean although still older. I definitely would come back to try more food and recommend anyone to eat here. I was very satisfied.

    How i stared at chicken passing by

    Waitress was amazing . Lets start by saying. Do not get clam chowder . After we sent that back it was delicious. Fresh Fried Mushrooms with horseradish sauce that was as good as any fine dining restaurant .. Pork Chops were good . I being a pork chop snob you really have to be bad for me to complain . Tedie said was ok . But all sides were amazing . After we got check they walked by with a plate of amazing looking chicken . The only picture my girl took you will se expression on face .. I ended up buying a breast and thigh . It is now the only thing i will get there!! With stuffing and ear of corn !! Will be returning once a month if not more .. chicken worth the price Most important YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR !!

    AMAZING food. Absolutely delicious. Super reasonably priced for how much food you get. We don't live in St. Pete but anytime we visit, we will come back here. Service was friendly & quick.

    Lunch with a colleague who wanted to try a little country meal. Down home goodness is all I have to say! And do not leave without getting some peach cobbler topped with vanilla ice-cream. Sinful goodness

    The order of chicken gizzards from pofolks

    Ordered uber from pofolks form lunch at 8 :30 pm when it arrived the food was cold and the portion were trouble..! About 7 chicken gizzards..'

    Kuntry Combo
    Steven O.

    No fancy decoration or flower walls in this place. Just a good ole mom and pop spot with consistent food! Im a regular here and Ms.Tami is always a joy whenever I come in. She remembers my order every time and she's definitely a favorite amongst the customers. I usually get the Kuntry Cookin combo with the 2 piece fried chicken and kuntry fried steak with mashed potatoes and okra. Today I tried the shrimp and I loved them! Crispy and fresh. Probably the closest thing to a home cooked meal without being at home.

    Haven't been here in years and years.  It hasn't changed a bit.

It's located in a strip mall, and for some reason I was surprised to find it as cute and yummy as I did (I know, I know, don't judge a book by its cover). Our waitress was great about helping me make sure I didn't get anything that I can't eat. I completely forgot what my seatmates order, but I ordered a burger and it was really good. It's served on sourdough toast, which is definitely one of my fave ways to get a burger!! The fries were good, too (I *really* wanted to eat more than I did, I just didn't have the room). Everyone enjoyed their dish. We were there for a late lunch, it wasn't noisy so we were able to have a good conversation (noisy places have always turned me off, I'm there with friends and want to talk for heaven's sake). If you're scrolling through reviews trying to decide where to go. STOP NOW. Look no further, this is where you need to be. I promise! :) Thank you for reading my review.

The space feels alive--music low enough for conversation, but high enough to keep the energy fun. Now, the food. Whoever's in that kitchen clearly cares about their craft. Every bite of my meal felt intentional--the kind of cooking that tells you someone's actually proud of what they plate. The texture, the seasoning, that balance of savory heat and crisp freshness--it's the kind of food that makes you look around the table just to say, "Yo, are you tasting this too?" The staff deserves a shoutout, too. Friendly without being fake, attentive without hovering. They made me feel like a regular even though it was my first visit. If you're the kind of person who loves discovering those local gems where passion meets comfort food, this is it. St. Pete's got plenty of spots to eat, but The Ball Joint is one of the rare ones you remember. Go to there website: https://www.wewantballs.com/ Truly amazing food experience!!

It was fine, but no substitute -- the honey made it a little too sweet for my taste. Still a solid pizza, just not the same. For apps we went with fried green tomatoes, truffle fries, and crispy fried wings -- a great spread to share. The tomatoes were excellent, still a little firm and not soggy, with just the right amount of crisp on the coating. The wings had a nice hot-and-sweet buffalo glaze, and the truffle fries were so good we ended up ordering a second round. The kids went with sandwiches. The Triple Smashburger was massive, towering height, though I'll note the patties were thicker than a traditional smash burger. The crispy chicken sandwich was excellent -- moist and crispy in every bite, and we upgraded to hot honey on the waiter's recommendation, which was a great call. Still one of my favorite spots in St. Pete, but Noble Crust, please bring back the Noble Pig.

We stopped in on a football Sunday after seeing fried chicken on the menu, and decided to stay because our bartender, Saja, and our server, Sam, were both so friendly and attentive. These days, it's easy to spend a lot dining out and not feel like you received much in return but Social Roost was reasonably priced, and the portions were very generous. I ordered the Chicken Milanese and highly recommend adding a side of angel hair pasta. (which was a recommendation from Sam) Unlike a traditional Milanese, this version comes with a caper beurre blanc sauce. Even though it was listed on the menu, I wasn't expecting so much delicious sauce, and the pasta was perfect for soaking it all up. My boyfriend ordered the chicken and waffles. The waffle was huge and delicious, topped with two very large chicken cutlets and served with syrup and bacon jam butter. He was extremely happy with his choice! The cocktails are on the pricier side, as they are at most places now, but both were very good. We tried the Pinkies Up and the Garden of Eden. I'd only recommend the Pinkies Up if you enjoy peach-forward drinks. Overall, Social Roost has a very cool, elegant and sexy vibe. We would absolutely recommend it especially for a date night in downtown St. Pete!

Honestly, not impressed with the food, especially for the price. The chicken Samosa were OK, but the Thai salad was really disappointing. It sounded really good in the description, but it was really hard to eat out of the bowl and it basically was just a big thing of lettuce with steak on top With a couple slices of green apple. The chicken pot pie was probably the best thing that we ordered. We did not have a cocktail although I've heard their drinks are really good. It's definitely a cute vibe inside.
