    Deep South burger
    Kristen H.

    Can never decide when I know I'm not coming back. The biscuits and gravy looked promising for breakfast but I already had that and I'm way over any sad calories budget I had. Don't wanna order Mexican food in the South where it's not the specialty and even though the hangover burger looked cool I ended up with the Deep South burger. They said this place is known for fried green tomatoes. As you can see this burger can't be eaten like a regular burger so I just had pieces. And today I learned I do not like fried green tomatoes so there's that part. But it's solid otherwise and fries are great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As far as the venue goes. Overall this area is definitely uh. Liberal. Very clearly. Like a version of Newport Beach that West Hollywood took over, is the best I can compare it to. Its pretty and very obviously well off. Just came here to sight see and this street is the one to do it on apparently.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    two egg breakfast with poached eggs, sausage patties, tomato slices, and toast!
    Alina E.

    Stella's has been our go-to breakfast spot in St. Pete for years! Their menu offers something for everyone, from simple egg dishes to more elaborate options, and they serve both breakfast and lunch. We usually order the two-egg breakfast, which comes with your choice of meat, potatoes or tomatoes, and toast. Everything is always cooked to perfection and served quickly, no matter how busy they are. Plus, the prices can't be beat! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Stella's is also very dog-friendly, with about 95% of their seating outdoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]In the summer, I recommend wearing light, breathable clothing--it can get hot despite the ample shade and fans.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're in Gulfport or St. Pete and looking for a new breakfast spot, Stella's is absolutely worth a visit!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Quite a neat place plenty of outside seating which works well as long as the weather holds.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Never checked if they have actual indoor dining. Staff is friendly and attentive and it has a large menu and large drink (alcohol) availability. Food was served really fast and it was hot and done really well.

    Chicken Fried Steak with Eggs and Side of Fruit
    Bob N.

    Stopped in for brunch at Stella's while visiting Gulfport, an eclectic little artist town with tons of charm. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was pretty busy (unsurprising for a weekend), but I was lucky to snag a quick indoor table.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Major win, because it was hot AF outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I went with the Chicken Fried Steak with a side of fruit. The chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and surprisingly moist inside. The fruit salad was a standout: fresh, full of berries and pineapple, none of that filler melon nonsense. Love that. My eggs were a little rubbery, which knocked it down a notch for me, but overall still satisfying. Also tried the Spanish Omelette with chorizo. Solid flavor, and it came with a side of fresh cinnamon raisin bread. The bread had great potential but was served dry with no butter or jelly I would've loved just a little something to bring it to life. Service was top notch. Our waitress was super friendly and genuinely warm, which really made the experience feel personal despite the busy pace. Would definitely come back next time I'm in town, just maybe ask for jelly ahead of time.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Kevin S.

    Got the breakfast burrito...Thought it was very average...Waitress was good and [[HIGHLIGHT]]they have nice outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Grabbed Stella's last week for a quick lunch and I was super impressed. I absolutely love a good smashburger and Stella's delivered. The bun was soft, the cheese was creamy and the burger patty was just the right amount of salty, peppery and greasy- YUM! Gulfport is one of my favorite places in the Tampa Bay Area, it's relaxing and the vibes are always so positive, and places like Stella reinforce that. Our service was casual, friendly and swift. 10/10 recommend!

    Had so much fun at Stella's! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of outdoor seating with shade and fans.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was yummy and service was quick. I will definitely be back for the pancakes! Those were my favorite. Also with a great location in Gulfport.

    Cobb Salads and fries
    Alexis S.

    Yum! The salads are huge and very refreshing on a warmer type of day. Very friendly service

    Fried Green Tomatoes to die for.
    Catherine R.

    Mixed review. Beautiful day, we sat at one of many umbrella tables. Nice live acoustic music. Server brought drinks, spilled on my partner's leg, took our order and we never saw her again. Food delivered to us from kitchen staff. No napkins, drink refills, condiments - never came with the check. Had to walk around to find someone to pay. Here's the thing, though. The Fried Green Tomatoes are amazing perfection. Crispy on the outside, thick green tomato slabs, seasoned & fried beautifully. Smash burger pretty Good too. Skip the chicken tenders. Nice place to sit outside and relax, recommend

    Their take on an espresso martini
    Amanda D.

    Positives: Yummy food (pancakes with to die for cinnamon butter, omelettes, hashbrowns with a perfect crisp level), short wait to be seated & can accommodate parties of 6 no problem. Great patio that's dog friendly and open, and a cocktail menu with variety to choose from. Extra Perk: They had a kids menu! Downside: We were missing one part of an order that never got put in by the server, and at the end of the meal the tab given was correct, but I ended up paying for someone else's meal. We had to call the server back to have the transaction voided and then re-pay for the meal. Note: there is only one restroom for patrons so the line is out the door and down the ramp... plan accordingly if you have to use the bathroom!

    Homemade Corned Beef Hash
    Alicia A.

    I'm so happy I tried this gem! It's on a little strip that I think must be "downtown" Gulfport. It's next to Stetson law school's campus. There is outdoor seating, bar seating and a few tables inside. I opted for inside. I asked a gal near me if she knew the WiFi password and she said "I should probably know that since I'm the owner." Then she promptly asked a gentleman who know. All of the staff was super friendly. I ordered a "Stella's Favorite" the homemade corned beef hash. It was interestingly made into a latke potato and beef hash kind of thing- unique. I devoured it so I didn't take a picture in time. But I did include a picture from their website I got the cinnamon raisin toast with their homemade cinnamon butter and it was quite enjoyable. I'll be back! I absolutely must try their fried green tomatoes. Highly recommend for brunch or lunch!

    Francisco D.

    Absolutely a wonderful treat for a breakfast in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The outside seating, service, and menu were absolutely wonderful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was very fresh and tasty! Everyone enjoyed their food, and ate everything! Definitely a place to return to on my next trip.

    Fried Green Tomatoes
    Luis S.

    **** Review 163 **** While waiting for my car to be done at Gulfport Garage, the owner recommended this local gem. He was not wrong! This is actually a pretty large establishment for where it's located. With plenty of outdoor and Indoor seating, you should have a hard time not getting seated fast. Staff is friendly, and service is fast. Even though it wasn't busy when I came, so your experience might differ is this place is rocking. The food was delicious! They're known for their Fried Green Tomatoes, which I can see why! Their description says they're marinated in buttermilk, but I believe they might do something similar to a chicken fried batter. They come served with a chipotle aioli, which I think takes them to the next level. Their Nola Omelette is something I haven't seen before, definitely a must try! It's packed with shrimp and andouille sausage. This comes with 1 side and a choice of toast. I ordered the cheesy grits and sourdough toast. The toast was actually really fresh and delicious. The grits were cheesy, but I do love me some buttery grits, so I added more butter. If you're in Gulfport and looking for a nice local, sit and relax breakfast place, then you need to give this place a try. Prices are comparable to First Watch type of establishments, but you get to support your local businesses. *** Also, this place is pet friendly!***

    Date of Visit: 03/112026 1:30pm…read more I have driven by this place dozens of times and just didn't take the time to stop because it was the weekend. On this day (Wednesday) I found myself working from home and said to my self, "Self, today we eat at the Side Door Deli". As I pulled in from Central I could see the lot was busy but spots were available. I believe I entered thru the front door, but as I looked the place over I could see "The Side Door". My order for today was to go and a nice lady was there ready to take it. I looked the menu over and decided on the "Kevin" a corned beef, lettuce and tomato club with Russian dressing. I had a slice of cheese on mine. With it I got the potato salad. Under $14 with a 12oz drink. Having only a short wait, I received my order and made my way home, could not wait. I have been waiting a long time to find this type of deli / luncheonette place to eat. Opening the box it came in, it was put together right. I first hit the potato salad first and it was awesome. Just the right amount zing. Now it's Kevin's turn...Wow, this is my new go place for a club. I wasn't sure if I wanted it toasted or not and the nice lady taking my order said,"lightly". I says yes. Next time full toast. I totally recommend this place, won't be disappointed. And I do see they are open on Saturdays. Breakfast? Peace.

    Can we talk about the cheese room? it's one of the largest in Florida and also my favorite place…read moreever! They have over 300 artisanal, imported and domestic cheeses, I find something new every time I go! The ambiance is what makes it special to locals, it feels like stepping into a traditional Italian market and it's hard to find elsewhere in Tampa. Definitely a staple for St. Pete! The market is almost always busy, so go right when they open or later in the afternoon on weekdays or you'll be standing shoulder to shoulder and wait 15 to 30 minutes, but honestly that time is perfect for browsing everything! My go to orders are the Mortadella Pistachio and the Fig & Pig. They are $12 each, and yes a bit pricey but the freshness and quality make it worth it.

    Wow! What a fun place to check out. There's ample parking. A lot of photo ops outside, some picnic…read moretables. So much bustle. So many people. You walk in and Theres a check out area. A fresh produce, meat, fish, sausage, pickled olives, section. You walk further down and Theres the grab and go food section. Then to the left you have wine and cheese. You go further in, and Theres a fancy cheese section. Unfortunately they don't give small amounts of cheeses and cut it for you. But you can buy some really good cheeses here. Then you go back to the very narrow hallway, and Theres a ton of coffee on the left. I just got into coffee and am a coffee snob. I noticed there was a "greasy" looking bean. Which just means it's well past its freshness. The price of bean actually isnt that bad. And they offer a lot of varieties. We bought two, Guatemala and organic Mexico. I wanted to try it out before writing this review. The Guatemala one was light, faint. The Mexico was a bit deeper flavor. I would recommend to management to better advertise the coffee bean so the product moves and stays fresh, or maybe move it to a different section where people can feel comfortable getting it. It gets so crowded in the hallway. I would leave the hallway was a grab and go area. You keep walking down and you have the coffee shop to the right, and a small bread stand to the left. Of course we got coffee. Theres a small area of seating to get coffee for there. Theres a big roaster to give the appearance that they roast their own coffee but I believe it's just for decoration. Fiancé got a cappuccino. It was okay. He normally doesn't get coffee with too much milk but the waitress said there was 3 shots of espresso in there. I would say it didn't taste like 3 shots. It taste like coffee with 90% milk. And it should be told to customers that a cappuccino there is more milk with coffee. I got the con panno. Which is espresso with whipped cream. I'm not sure if the whip cream they use is fresh, or if it's super sweetened, but my coffee was sweet. It was thick which I like but I didn't like whatever sweetener they used. But I'd probably order a macchiato if I ever came back so I could taste the coffee. On the other side of the coffee shop is the sandwiches and prepared food that you order. Sandwiches are HUGE. Fiancé had the #1 with all the fixings. It was nice but if you don't like soggy sandwiches, you can ask for no veggies. Which we would do next time. I had the 7, no sun-dried tomatoes and no veggies. It was so good. The mozzerella was very fresh! If you walk past that you have the dried cured meat, and down a hallway to the right you'll find dried pasta and fresh pasta. The fresh pasta looked so good. I wished we lived in the area so I could try. You head back the other way and pass the outdoor seating and Theres also a place for you to check out you grocery/sandwiches. Right next to that section you have the pantry area of canned fish, pickled things, olive oil. Then Theres the bread and pastry area. We only had time to see these and no time to see what other stores they had or walk around. But I'd definitely come back to check those out.
