Here's a place that understands that all the subtleties matter. Wings kick butt! Great local cold beers. Maybe the best french fries ever in the history of modern western civilization. I feel strongly that these wings and fries could bring an end to world conflict (think Bill and Ted's)... Cram em all in a phone booth and make them eat this wonderful food, guaranteed they will kill the history report! Nibb high football rules! read more

Decided to check this spot out for dinner on a random evening and we were blown away! Seat yourself, and service was so wonderful! Our server was attentive and provided great menu recommendations. We decided on the two meat plate to try a few things. The salmon and wings were amazing and all the sides we tried were warm and comforting. Will definitely be back! read more

Enjoyed a Thursday happy hour at Brinehouse in Safety Harbor. The service was excellent. Our server sat us quickly, checked in often, kept our drinks refilled, and the food came out SO quickly. Another staff member (manager perhaps?) stopped by to check in on us too. We took full advantage of the $5 happy hour menu and ordered the happy hr sliders, wings, and fried green tomatoes, along with a couple menu items. The Ahi Tuna Flatbread was light, fresh, and packed with flavor. It was topped with spicy chili aioli, avocado, tomatoes, red onions, and pickled peppers on warm grilled flatbread. Would order this again. The Ultimate Brussel was a nice standout. Crispy brussel sprout halves tossed in a white balsamic vinaigrette with pork belly "croutons," thin slivers of Granny Smith apple, and creamy Gorgonzola crumbles. Every bite had the perfect balance of sweet, savory, tangy, and crunchy. My fork had a mind of its own and kept going back for more. Easy street parking, tons of TVs, one TV had trivia playing which you can join by downloading an app. We were choosing between a few spots, but Brinehouse's Thursday Beer, Bourbon & BBQ & also a Happy Hour (3-6 p.m.) with $5 bites made the choice easy (for me!). My Golden Hour Lychee White Sangria was refreshing and the perfect happy hour drink for a sweltering July afternoon In the end, our group of 5 were happy with our choice & would happily recommend it. read more

This cozy breakfast spot has a modern country vibe with a mix of table seating and bar seating, making it feel both inviting and stylish. They offer bottomless mimosas along with a great selection of craft cocktails and other alcoholic beverages. The biscuits and gravy were absolutely to die for (you can truly taste the homemade, from-scratch cooking in every bite). The French toast was perfectly prepared and paired beautifully with fresh fruit, making for a well-balanced and delicious meal. The service was fast, friendly, and attentive, even during a busy breakfast rush. We'll definitely be back! read more

Food: PHENOMENAL Staff: AMAZING! We love eating here and interacting with the staff! Steve, Stacy, Sarah, Jamie, Micah, Elaine, and Kalby are always professional, friendly, and give great service. Chef Tony keeps things fresh and delicious. This is a favorite for sure! read more

The restaurant is nice and in a fun area. We were there around 2pm on a Tuesday and it was dead but the servers (all women I believe) were great. We sat at the bar. We got a house salad, fries (huge portion) and the chicken flatbread. None of the food stood out to me or was memorable. I would go back and try other items if I was in the area. They also have a $2 sharing fee listed on their menu which annoys me. read more

Absolutely awesome food. Went for my birthday with family. I will definitely be back.

It was so great to speak with Chef. His plating shows his art and the fact that all ingredients are fresh shows how much he cares. It's lovely to be in Safety Harbor at Brinehouse looking out the window. Fresh roses on every table. Plenty of seating. We were happy to get there early enough to have the only booth, but table seats are good too. read more

Somehow we've missed this gem until now! It's tucked away between a couple different restaurants but is by far my favorite restaurant in safety harbor now. The food has such great flavor and the menu has a wonderful variety. The staff is very friendly and they have an open kitchen concept. I can't wait to come back. Inside the ambiance is cozy and welcoming. The star of the show was the Gouda grits. You HAVE to get those when dining here! read more

Third Friday review Bellied up to the bar Gold rush classic for me We should try the wings- seems like they are special and brined - let's give it a go. We picked safe bourbon bbq- this was not good/ the spice so thick it just coated the mouth. Slight curry- smoked flavor that we were not pleased-no real sauce, just thick spices plus very expensive considering one night /wk it's only a $1 Thank goodness we ordered fries too. The service was without a smile, I think we bothered her. Our new friend at the bar said that's how she always is! Well, I guess it's not us!! Disappointed read more

Great atmosphere in downtown safety harbor. I thought parking would be difficult but there were spots on the side streets that was free. I ordered the bbq chicken with macaroni salad and cauliflower purées and it was so good! I usually am picky about my bbq sauce but this place had it soo good! It wasn't overly sweet which I like. I really enjoyed the chicken too. The meat was tender and full of flavor. For the sides: The cauliflower purée was a bit salty but still really good. The macaroni salad was pretty good too. My toddler really enjoyed that the best. Service was great and it wasn't too crowded so I really enjoyed my meal here! read more

The Brinehouse - Bbq chicken - New American Near Me - Safety Harbor, Florida

We went in for Sunday brunch. The service was prompt. The restaurant was clean. The staff was really nice and went above and beyond to accommodate to our requests. They had nice menu options and quite the variety for a brunch. It also had a lot of brunch style drinks like mimosas, Bellinis, and bloody Marys, etc. We had the eggs benedict over a homemade biscuit that they modified to add salmon instead of Canadian bacon. It was absolutely wonderful and perfectly cooked. One of my friends had the steak and eggs which the steak was absolutely tender and delicious. It was a perfect brunch all the way around. The coffee was excellent! Definitely a place to go! Families welcome. Kid friendly options available. This is located in downtown Safety Harbor. After brunch, take a stroll through the quaint town and visit the many shops with a variety of styles. Perfect for a Sunday Funday event! read more

The Restaurant has good solid food and drinks. We have been the many times since I wrote the initial review. I don't know why I did't finish it. Try it out! read more

The food never disappoints!! Consistently over the top flavours with a chef that knows their stuff. We like to sit at the bar as Staci is always so friendly and makes great drinks. She has been there awhile and even points out new specials. We often order the Trifecta and split it. It has the choice of 3 types of smoked proteins. We love every thing on list and it's hard to pick 3. Al the sides are also very good. The Brussel sprouts and cheese grits are some of the best I've had. The entire restaurant is also just a nice local vibe. If you are in town try them out you won't be sorry. read more

I was invited to join my fellow foodie friend to a Spanish Wine Dinner at The Brinehouse in November. I've been on and off sick since Thanksgiving so this review is a bit late. In any case, my husband is from Spain and I've traveled throughout Spain on many occasions for the last 15 years or so (I would say at least 10 times minimum). Needless to say, I made a point to eat all the different dishes in several regions of Spain with many foodie tours. With that said, I was very excited for this Spanish inspired dinner. I don't really drink alcohol anymore as a personal choice and health reasons, but will have some wine on occasion. Though the dishes were not traditional Spanish dishes, I was very impressed with the execution of their Spanish inspired menu. The dishes were quite unique, the flavors blew me away, and the wine pairing was on point. Reception Course: Croquetas de Cabrales First Course: Serrano Ham-Wrapped Quail Second Course: Bacala Third Course: Duck Paella Fourth Course: Creme Catalina The croquetas were frankly the best I've ever had. The Serrano Ham-wrapped Quail and Bacalao were unique and tasty. The duck breast and chorizo in the paella were nice touches, as I've probably had every different variety of paella in Spain except this. I don't even think I've ever seen this as an option. The only issue I had with this dish is that there should be a larger rice ratio with paella dishes. This was packed with duck meat, when I little would have gone a long way. Don't get me wrong. The flavors were amazing! Just less meat and more rice, please. Finally, the Crema Catalin was the perfect end to a fantastic dinner. It was the perfect combination of light and not to sweet with fresh fruit. As mentioned earlier, their wine pairings were perfect and accented each dish. See photo for menu. I highly recommend wine dinners at The Brinehouse. I can't wait to return and try more of the chef's unique creations. read more

My family and neighbors love this place! I finally had a chance to give it a try. I would skip the crab (seasonal menu item) as I associate corn, potatoes and crab with a well seasoned crab boiled together... What we were served was steamed snow crab with butter and then a side of potatoes and corn. I find that the seasoning helps with the fishy coxa meat. (but thats my preference) .. We also loved the brussel sprouts and clean atmosphere and decor of the restaurant. Will be back again. read more

Finally tried The Brinehouse and am so sad to leave such a poor review! I ordered the salmon and asked for it to be well done. It came out completely raw, to the point where my husband wouldn't even touch it. The waitress was super apologetic and sweet - she sent it back to be cooked. When it came back out, it was still raw and mushy in the middle. It looked as if they tried to re-cook the previous piece. It was so strange! The manager gave us a complimentary drink and our waitress was lovely, but it was definitely one of the most disappointing meals I've had in a long time. read more

We stopped here while on a small vacation and it was great! The service was pretty quick, the food was good and I had a cider that was made by a brewery that they sell and it was super good. The ambiance is cute as well sat outside and got to enjoy the evening. read more

This is a cute place with lots to offer! The first time I went was for a trivia night and it was a blast! They had themed food and drinks for the occasion which was such a nice touch! We had such a good time that we keep coming back. Service is always great, everyone is so friendly and welcomes cyou in as soon as you walk through the door. The food is delicious, never any complaints. I highly recommend the poutine!! Everything is portioned well so you will either leave satisfied or with left overs. The drinks are very tasty as well, with lots of options and specials. They always have something new to try depending on the theme, season, or holiday, so you can never get bored with the menu! It's also very reasonably priced and worth the drive from Tampa! read more

Easily one of the top brunch spots on Main Street! Came here for a birthday event and loved the selection of breakfast favorites, creative cocktails and of course mimosas. I went with the indulgent biscuits and gravy. They were light, fluffy and moist in a creamy gravy that was sprinkled with cubes of pork belly. It came with a nice helping of eggs too. I think you'd certainly be able to split this with someone and get something sweet on the side. Everyone enjoyed their food and despite our large party it was fast and without any hiccups. We'll be back! read more

The Brinehouse - The biscuits and gravy - New American Near Me - Safety Harbor, Florida

Great restaurant in Safety Harbor. The good news about this restaurant is on a Sunday for lunch there was a lot of parking around it. I'm always worried about Safety Harbor and parking, but this place seemed to be surrounded by parking lots/parking. I was nervous on a Sunday that it would be packed, but at noon we were the first table (there were people at the bar), by about 12:30 there were more parties, but still tons of seating. On Sunday they only serve the brunch menu, but there's still non brunchy stuff on it. I got the Green Goddess Salad, which is new. I thought it was good, but not great. The avocado tasted a little too ripe (extra soft) and they had so much dressing on it. Overall it is a solid salad, although I'm surprised that without protein it is $16. That's a little on the pricier side. My friend got an eggs benedict and it was huge. That was definitely worth the price. It was a lot of carbs though (the biscuit it came on was huge) so she took a lot of it home. Service was prompt and super friendly. The atmosphere is cheery and bright. I liked this place and will definitely come back. read more

My husband and I always enjoy sitting at the bar having a drink with appetizers. They have the best Brussels sprouts. We always order them. The food is very tasty. Everything we've ordered has always been good. Service is quick. The waitresses are friendly. You can sit inside or out. I like to sit inside, so i can watch sports. They have a couple TV's at the bar. There's not a big selection of beers. read more

I enjoyed the excellent meats, full of robust flavors, served hot and fresh to your table right from the visibly flaming grill. The chicken wing platter is plentiful and juicy on the inside. A highlight for our group was the crisp but tender pork belly. I ordered the Cobb salad with chicken and was equally delighted with the mini, crunchy pork belly croutons. The portions here are huge, and we all asked for to-go containers. Don't skip the seasonal dessert jar, as it was a treat. Vegetarian options are available too, like other salads and the fried pickle platter. The end to a satisfyingly rich and memorable dinner for me was the mango and lychee bread pudding. A sweet mix of a familiar dessert with a tropical twist. Great drink options to too, like a Two Chick's Paloma in a beautifully feminine can. Be sure to visit The Brinehouse on an empty stomach and make way for incredible flavor. read more

This was my first visit here to the Brinehouse, so like with other places, I don't really know what to expect. My server was very polite and very knowledgeable of the menu, when I asked her for recommendations, she mentioned a few of her favorites, which really didn't catch my interest that much, but kudos to her for recommending such a wide assortment of meals. I settled for the cauliflower soup as an appetizer, which was a little spicy, but it was very, very good. The presentation was in my opinion top-notch. In fact, it was so good that I can make a meal of that in itself. My main dish was the swine and seafood, which was swimming in grits! Please don't get me wrong. The shrimp and the swine were really good the pork was crispy and very, very flavorful! The shrimp also had a good taste to it and was cooked thoroughly, but I can't get over the fact that it was swimming in grits even though the sauce they put on did have a good flavor. I definitely will go back again, but most definitely will not have the same thing over again, as there are many other options to choose from. Did I mention that , my server was very friendly and knowledgeable? read more

Found The Brinehouse while walking around Safety Harbor, and am so glad I did! The service was friendly and professional - and the food was delicious. We had the poutine ( a first for me), mac and cheese (very creamy and sooo goooood), and I don't remember what other family members had, but we all raved about it. I did see the Olimpia salad on the menu and was tempted, I'll get it next time. I remembered Olimpia salad from a restaurant in Dunedin and was afraid it might not be as good, but now have read that the chef actually had worked in Dunedin and believe the salad may be the same. The ambiance was perfect, low key and sounds of happy people enjoying the food and drink. I live in Dunedin and enjoy the restaurants here, but will not drive over to Safety Harbor and go back to the The Brinehouse, well worth the drive! Great job all around!!!!!! read more

Whenever we spend the day enjoying the classes and spa amenities at Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, we walk the easy block or two over to The Brinehouse for lunch. We happened upon this delicious little gem once, and that's all it took to ensure that we'll never miss a chance to visit again. If you order nothing else from them, get the Sidewinder Fries. They are part curly fry, part steak fry, and entirely delicious and unforgettable. On this visit, I paired my order of fries with the Olimpia Chop Salad (minus the capicola to make it vegetarian). This salad is so tasty and even has shell pasta in it. Sounds weird but tastes amazing! We opted to sit outside on this visit because there was a beautiful breeze in the air today. It was so nice to people watch (let's be honest, I just coo at all of the adorable dogs that walk by) and enjoy time with my friends over a delicious meal! The service couldn't be friendlier or more attentive. In fact, the first time we ever happened across this restaurant was because a friendly server came outside and greeted us with some menus to look at when she saw us glance inside, and we decided to try it on a whim. I'm so glad that we did! And we'll do it again and again. read more
