This place is one of our "go-to" spots whenever we're in town. Good food and drinks and some of the largest shrimp (U-10s, I think) that you'll ever eat. Service is always friendly and helpful and you can sit on the deck overlooking the gulf (of America or Mexico, your choice! lol) I love it! read more

First time here. Cool little place. Ordered the veggie wrap. Presentation a C but the flavor an A. Great flavor and veggies were all nice and crunchy. Service was friendly and helpful. The place is nothing to write home about but if you are in the area nice lunch spot read more

servers were nice and the food was ok but no silverware or napkins and [[HIGHLIGHT]]kitchen looked mid[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]].

Do you like spending time with your family on vacation? Good! Because you will be here a minimum 2.5 hours. Bartender was nice and food was decent. I get being backed up but there were only a few tables and we were here 3 hours read more

Yum!! We were brought here by very good friends on a quick weekend trip. Excellent ambiance! We were out on the patio. It was breezy, but warm. We started with a seafood pretzel, wow. Amazing! Recommend! Had a Brass Monkey (their signature drink) Yum! I had a bowl of mussels, my bride had a chicken salad wrap, our friends had the seafood chowder and a batch of wings. ALL enjoyed their food. We had more drinks too - the Black Cherry Drop, the Black & Tan tini and a Winger's sunset. All were excellent!!! IF when we are in the area will definitely visit again!!!! read more

Come here for the view and to cool off with a drink after a day at the beach! Extensive menu with fun and casual beach bar vibe. Known for their Baltimore crab legs and based on the Ravens carpeting on the stairs, the owner is clearly from Maryland. read more

In Pass-a-Grille for the afternoon, stopped at the Brass Monkey for a late lunch. The restaurant is upstairs, with seating outside on a balcony overlooking the gulf, plus seating at tables, hightops and at the bar. Service is brisk and brusk. Our server seemed disappointed that we had brought our beers from the bar inside and only ordered a single burger and fries to split. (Didn't want to spoil appetite for dinner). The burger was good. Medium rare, as ordered. Crisp lettuce, nicely melted cheddar. Fries are breaded, Checkers-style. Crispy and fresh, delicious dipped in ketchup. Beers icy cold. Plus a million dollar view of one of the nicest beaches on the west coast of Florida. A good spot for a quick bite while at the beach. read more

Wonderful place! Patriotic and family owned, what more could you ask for! Next time you visit St. Pete don't miss them!

Our 2nd time here,and I felt I had to write this review. Tried the stuffed mushroom caps with crab. It was an appetizer but big enough for a meal. It was fantastic! Wife is more of a land lover and had the philly cheese steak. Which was also fantastic! The waiter who helped us was great and was very attentive. Every time we are in the area we will be stopping here. read more

Each time we're in the area we make sure to visit the Brass Monkey. Their food is delicious and reasonably priced. The family atmosphere is welcoming, and the service is impeccable! 5/5 You won't regret dining at this gem! read more

BRASS MONKEY, YOU FUNKY MONKEY! Love coming to this place whenever I am in town. Located in Pass-A-Grille. The monkey balls are delicious and a must get! There was plenty of seafood options, which they specialize in. They particularize in Maryland style crab. Service was fantastic and they offer an amazing view of the Gulf. Also plenty of TVs for those sports fanatics. @stl.foodie read more

Brass monkey on a beautiful sunny cool Sunday afternoon is loud and full of people before going back to work the next day. The place has an amazing 2nd floor outside deck with spectacular ire of the Gulf. It's a bustle of fun for a Sunday evening. Service is warm and friendly and always customer first mentality . Today we just ordered an appetizer of loaded fries. They were nice an crispy with real cheese melted on. It's a generous portion! read more

We walked in and the hostess immediately and repeatedly gave us attitude. The place was mostly empty but she told us we needed to sit at the bar if we only wanted drinks. I explained we were having appetizers as well and wanted to sit at a table. She reluctantly sat us outside at a table but we weren't able to see the TVs which is why we came to watch football. We came back in and asked if we could inside at an available table and she said no and directed us to the bar. I was interested in eating but after having some drinks we were over it and left. read more

Not sure about the blackened grouper. Tasted like it had on the boat too long and no ice. Even smelled way too fishy. The other meals were fine. read more

The view is amazing if you sit outside during sunset. The food is subpar but as expected from a beach bar. The burger was okay but the mac and cheese bites were delish. My friend got the chicken salad wrap and it was actually very good. Our server was rude though, i would give it a 3/5 if she didnt slam the door on me when I was walking through. I would return to drink and for apps but not for a meal. The dirty monkey was the best alcoholic drink I've ever had and it was strong. read more

Always a go to when in the Pas-a-grill area. Love the food and views. It's a tradition.

"Meh" is the best possible way to sum up eating at this beachside restaurant. The experience itself is always fun. Good music, great view, usually great staff. Everybody knows that you come to this eatery for the beautiful, waterfront view and "good vibes." The food is extremely subpar, and every time we come to this restaurant it gets worse, and the prices continuously go up. We have frequented Brass Monkey for years now, and we are definitely let down more and more each time. The French onion soup was like warm saltwater. The green beans were just lightly cooked and covered in salt. The grouper sandwich was good, but very soggy. The crab cake sandwich was delicious, but also served very soggy. The highlight of Brass Monkey is their dirty monkey drink. It is a very consistent drink, it is always good. Honestly one of the better drinks in the area. Don't go to Brass Monkey for their food, or you will be extremely let down. A soggy sandwich with a side of bagged potato chips is not exactly our definition of good beach food. Order some drinks, watch the sunset, and you'll enjoy your experience. read more

Always a family favorite! Ahi tuna and crab cakes are amazing! Great balcony overlooking the ocean, beautiful views. Great service!

The first thing you'll notice about the Brass Monkey is its homage to Baltimore sports. Upon asking, I found out that the owners are originally from the Charm City. With that comes some distant Baltimore flavors. There's ample seating indoor and outdoor to enforce social distancing. We opted for an indoor table, though the outdoor tables did have a nice view of the water. We ordered fish sticks from the kid's menu at $6 each for 5 fish sticks and fries. My wife ordered a good sized salad with a nice blackened salmon filet on top. I ordered the crab cake reuben. The crab cake meat was clean and contained some nice pieces of lump crab. I would definitely come back here to sample the rest of the menu. read more

one of the worst experiences I've encountered at this Restaurant, we put our name down at 5:30 for a table of 6 outside and was told its about 30 to 40 minutes wait not a problem I say, we eventually got a table at 7:15pm one hour and 45 minutes wait so where did they get 30 to 40 minutes wait time from, after ordering our food and a long wait for the main course it arrived stone cold looked like it had been sitting around in the kitchen for awhile, after talking to the manager about the situation he agreed to comp the bill 35%, he then picked up the plates and spilt sauce from one of the plates all over my friends new purse which ended up inside the purse over her phone and belongings, so he then ups the discount to 50% and a free drink (we refused the drink). If you are under staffed maybe think about not taking so many bookings and work on your customer service skills. read more

Soooo not an issue with the restaurant itself but... 20-30 minutes for water in 80+ degree heat. Everything took ages and we were this waitresses only table in sight. To describe said waitress: VERY very orange skin and bleach blonde with migrating lip filler. Absolutely the worst service all around. 20/10 would not recommend. Oh and my friend asked for this waitresses name and she passive aggressively responded "what are your guys' names?!" read more

Food is good right on the beach service was excellent. Place is great you can make it an elegant evening or come right off beach and have a great dinner will be back read more

The food is good for bar food. I would like the location more if it weren't on a second story.

Ate here last night. The ambiance and setting was amazing. We sat outside on the patio. The food was really good but was way over priced for the portion size. I ordered the grouper Annapolis with fries and coleslaw. The meal was great but the size was more like an appetizer than a meal. My wife got a single crab cake and said it was the best crab cake she has ever had. Note that she has had a lot of crab cakes from all over the US. I had a blue lagoon , wasn't impressed. The initial thought on the restaurant being clean were not good. Ambiance 4 Food 5 Price 2 Cleanliness 3 Service 3 Update to the owner who responded. It's not the price of the meal it's the serving size. Look at how many fries are on the plate. I travel all over and eat at a lot of places. Your prices are absolutely over most places for the portion you provide. The food was great but the portion sizes are too small. I left there and went and got a cheeseburger. read more

We heard good things about Brass Monkey and decided to try. This place did not disappoint! It is a local place and nothing fancy inside or out but the food was all really good! My daughter had ahi tuna, I had the steamed mussels, and my husband had grouper sandwich. For an appetizer we had to try the candy money balls which was delicious. The ahi tuna was the appetizer but you can see from the picture it was plenty of food. Service was prompt and we did not have to wait. Sunset was amazing and a great place to come unwind and have great seafood read more

location, location the food was overpriced and not good! So disappointed I wanted it to be good! stick with the drinks!

Well, I am a Seahawks fan, and do not like the Ravens, but an excellent location, ambiance, food. We had a great time, with a second story view of the Gulf of Mexico! Very enjoy. read more

The absolute best BLT I've ever had..extra crispy bacon, 2 large slices of tomato We eat there once a week while in PAG.

My most recent visit to the Brass Monkey was on football Sunday. I came in with friends to watch the Ravens Pittsburgh game. I lived in Maryland for 20 years and I am a huge Ravens fan! This is the best place in Florida to watch a Ravens game! The owners were Marylanders as well so I felt right at home. As soon as I walked in and started up the stairs I saw the Ravens carpet. Once upstairs I saw the wall covered with Ravens jerseys. There was Orioles memorabilia as well. I found out on my last visit that every time the Ravens score a touchdown everyone gets a purple Jell-O shot. How cool is this tradition? I loved it! We did not eat any food as we had just came from a late breakfast. But our server came by at least every 10 minutes to see if we needed another drink. She did a great job! There were no seats left in this bar so I know she was extremely busy. I hope to make it back again next year during football season so I can watch at least one Ravens game with a ton of other Ravens fans! read more

Brass Monkey is located in the cutest little area. We ate here after looking for shells at Pass-a-Grille. Unfortunately, we didn't get to take advantage of the view due to our large party. Drinks were good so I was excited for what was to come! I got the grouper ruben (minus bread) and the portion was very generous. Then I heard a shout at the end of the table. My sister found a bee in her salad (she's allergic). She shows a couple others at the table to confirm. As my sister was in tears, another person went to get our server. She comes by apologizing and immediately takes the plate and states she'll take the meal off the bill. As my sister tried to compose herself, still in shock of what could have happened, the manager came by and says "we confirmed it was a moth and everything comes from a farm fresh daily so something must have happened." No apology, no accountability and it was definitely not a moth (although without an allergy, that would be nastier than a bee to me). I have to say we won't be back. The way the manager handled a potentially tragic situation was less than comforting. read more

I must first explain I am a Baltimore transplant. When I first noticed the restaurant a few years ago I immediately felt like I was back home. Since then my husband and I have stopped getting crabcakes shipped from Baltimore. When we want crabcakes we come to the Brass Monkey. I cannot tell you about anything else on the menu the only thing we order is the double crabcake platter. Great food, great view and fast service is the reason for this five star review. read more

The Brass Monkey - Great seating! - New American Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

It was just "meh." Not bad food, but it just tasted so basic. The Grouper Rueben was the best thing I tried. It was "meaty" and flaky, pretty decent. The Steak sandwich is LITERALLY a NY Strip in its entirety, covered by a hoagie roll with pretty lettuce and tomato. That said, the steak lacked a little flavor, so I added salt and pepper and it helped. I usually don't go for the A1 Sauce, but this steak needed it. The service was the biggest "meh" part. I had to keep asking for refills of half-cut iced tea and they brought me unsweetened for the two even though it was ordered as a half-cut. read more

There was no wait to be seated. Our beach ride driver said grouper was a impulse thing to order while in the area, so I gave it a try! The sandwich came with a small bag of lays classic (which I liked cause it was easy to take with me). Although fries as an option not an upgrade would be better. The food was tasty although I did find a quarter size of something I had to pull out of my mouth (scale possibly). The view and service were great! read more

We waited about 20 minutes to be seated which was totally fine. The view of the sunset was great. The waitress was nice, but the service was slow, extremely slow. We waited over 40 minutes for our appetizers. 15 minutes into waiting for our appetizers we were told they were out of mussels so we ordered shrimp. We ordered monkey balls, which were four small crab cakes in a ball shape. They came out semi warm, tasted fine. We then waited another 40 minutes for our dinner sandwiches. We never got our shrimp, when we told our waitress she seemed unaware. We asked our waitress midway how long it would be and she said she didn't know. The service was extremely slow. The manager did take 15% off our total bill but still not worth the amount of time we spent there. We wouldn't return. read more

Berry and Kelly are terrific, super sweet folks. For nearly 20 years they have taken a hands on approach, meaning they are there everyday! The food is delicious, the barmen make fantastic drinks and the atmosphere is laid back, but electric! If you are in St. Pete, Pass A Grille stop in. Berry, is also somewhat of a celebrity in the northwest where he is known as " The Stallion"; where he offered a play by play on his sports radio talk station. read more
