    Crepe of the day with hefty side of fruit and potatoes
    Anh N.

    Love this local GEM! Was in town visiting and wanted a local mom pop to grab breakfast before going to the beach. Came early and this is your no frills breakfast place with lovely servers! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is adorned with of course...frogs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Gets bustling during high season so get there early![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hefty portions! I got the crepe of the day which came with loads of fruit .

    Far better than I could've imagined! Huge portions and very flavorful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant has a laid back vibe but very creative with the murals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was fantastic and they were very attentive. I'll definitely be back!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Diner vibe, there's outside eating as well and a merch section with frog-themed goods.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you're vegetarian don't get the breakfast potatoes, they're cooked in bacon grease.thr vegetable eggs Benedict was fine, nothing spectacular and the side options were sliced tomatoes, thr bacon home fries or grits, which had no flavor. It was affordable for the area but nothing I'd go back for seconds for.

    Great breakfast spot! Don't be intimidated by how busy they are...they get you seated pretty quick and the food is worth it! There is also outside seating. In all fairness, it looked so good, I forgot to take a picture when it first came out. It had perfect bananas quartered on top of the crepe and a beautiful piece of fresh pineapple on fruit. There is also a slice banana bread I was not expecting, but nice touch. The crepe is huge! I was expecting maybe 2 thin crepes; not one massive one. Everything is so very fresh! My husband had the quiche Lorraine looked very small compared to my plate, but he said it was very filling and delicious. My only disappointment was the home fries were too soft for my taste, but flavor was good. Our server, Micayla was so calm and friendly, and very attentive given how super busy they were. Even Brian was very on top of coffee refills. It lives up to its name because everywhere you look, there are frogs decorating the place...cute I will absolutely be returning whenever I'm in St Pete!

    Granola and yogurt - so good and huge!

    Service was excellent. Outdoor patio was so loud you can't hear yourself think. Food was average if not gigantic portions. Definitely come here if starving after a night of drinking, don't expect much from the food and absolutely sit inside.

    We just rolled into town last night, and after searching a little while I found this restaurant that was close by. The four of us drove over there and were seated almost immediately by a friendly staff. The service and attention we received was excellent and exceeded my expectations for such a popular place. Thank you Silia! From what I observed this restaurant is more popular for breakfast items, especially the cinnamon French toast. All the breakfast items on the menu sounded fantastic, and I would love to try them all when I come back. Pros: pulp in the orange juice, complementary fruit bowl because of kitchen delays. Cons: none

    Definitely the best little restaurant! Perfect for morning coffee and breakfast. We had biscuit, gravy, tomatoes, eggs, sausage and bacon. Coffee was great!

    Our server was great. They were able to handle both my mother and mother in law being picky about their breakfast. Thank you and I'm sorry! I'm in the hospitality industry and I know what it's like. I did say "please don't spit in my food" after the odd requests that were asked. I dunno why anyone would want a fresh fruit crepe with the fruit not inside or on top. Anyways! Hahaha. I ordered the mushroom and cheese omelette... It had real cheese and fresh mushrooms. Thank you! It was exactly what I wanted. Plus the house potatoes were tasty and evil. My hubby ordered the roast beef omelette... cause why not?!? He said it was a little bland. Maybe it needed some of the liquid to add more flavor? Idk since I don't eat beef. The portion size was huge! My mom got the Florentine Benedict. The egg was could close to perfect and that's pretty impressive for a larger group and being super busy. Teen got the apple waffle. It was a Belgian waffle with some cooked apples on top. She scarfed it up. We did get some fresh fruit on the table and it tasted like onion. Not sure if in fridge with cut onions or cut on cutting board after onions? We sent it back... overall this was a tasty breakfast we needed! Thanks so much!

    Stopped here on a visit to St. Pete because of the reviews. The food was okay. Eggs were not real eggs (egg beaters) which is not something I like. Bacon was good - portion size was decent We had the pecan waffle and bananas foster waffle which was good. We opted to sit outside because it was a nice day.

    Cinnamon bun french toast
    Joelle S.

    It was super crowded for a good reason. As a party of two we sat almost immediately and the food was incredible. We got the cinnamon bun french toast and the lox omelette. This was the best french toast I've ever had and the whipped cream was so delicious. The homemade strawberry preserves were also awesome. The staff was prompt and our food came out quick. It's so cute with the frogs everywhere.

    Corned beef hash and cinnamon roll French toast
    Ellen Y.

    Excellent breakfast spot! Clear regulars that come in early in the AM. Prices are very fair and portions are HUGE. Our server was very nice and attentive and food came out quick. The star was the cinnamon roll French toast but all their savory dishes were also delicious. The eggs, toast, coffee, and potatoes were classic diner food. Highly recommend if in the area.

    Eggs Benedict, best ofy life
    Todd G.

    My second time here and even better than the first. The entire breakfast was absolutely perfect, like 10 stars perfect. Had the eggs Benedict with home fries potatoes. The picture is worth a thousand words. Had some bacon too, thick peppery goodness cooked perfectly. Honestly, probably the best breakfast of my life and worth every cent.

    How's their coffee?

    That answer is subjective to people's individual opinions. To get YOUR answer, you will have to try it. Id say, decent.

    Vegan options for breakfast?

    What I would suggest is to go to their website and check out their Menu.

    Pet friendly at this location?

    I don't think so

    Hello does this spot serve mimosas or sangrias?

    No it does not

    Do they serve breakfast throughout the 7am- 2pm?

    When we were there in March 2017 we were told we could get breakfast all day.

My family and I had such a great experience, and I'd easily give it a 9/10 for the food, service, and ambiance. Even though it was a rainy day and only indoor seating was available, it didn't take away from the experience at all. The restaurant has windows throughout, so no matter where you're seated, you still get gorgeous views of the water. The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure guests have a great experience. Another thing I appreciated was that the food is made fresh to order, and the seafood tasted exceptionally fresh. We started with the Kung Pao Calamari, and wow...I honestly could've eaten the entire plate myself! It was packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and easily one of the best appetizers I've had in a while. For my entrée, I ordered the Maine Lobster Roll, and it was outstanding--fresh, buttery, and loaded with lobster. I paired it with the plantain mashed potatoes, which completely surprised me. I wasn't sure what to expect, but they were absolutely delicious and something I'd order again without hesitation. My refreshing Peach Margarita was the perfect complement to the meal. Around the table, the Fish & Chips and the Grouper BLT were both big hits. The only small critique is that the hush puppies were a little overdone. Aside from that, everything was flavorful and thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, Buoys delivered an excellent dining experience with fresh food, warm hospitality, and beautiful waterfront views. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in St. Pete!

Perhaps we tried the wrong things, but we were hungry (which usually increases the appreciation for the food), and our choices ranged from not good to good. The dip appetizer- Not good. It was the crab dip with seasoned cheez-it shaped crackers. The crab did not have good flavor and the crackers were over salted. Wasn't a good balance for my taste buds. Didn't eat most of it. The oysters appetizer- Good. They were fresh which is ALWAYS appreciated. I didnt like that the shells weren't rinsed, which led to alot of shell in my slurps and the actual oyster sizes ranged from normal to small. One was almost tiny. My main meal- Good. I had the special...a Blackened Hogfish stuffed with crab and scallops. The fish on it's own was ok, but the bites with the stuffing as the whole were good. The rice and beans along with it were cooked perfectly. My friend had the Blackened Grouper and enjoyed it thoroughly. Desserts- Very Good- 50/50. The Coconut Cheesecake was absolutely DELICIOUS, definitely homemade. The Chocolate Cheesecake was just ok, but killed the sweet treat itch. Ambiance- Tranquil. If you're looking for beautiful scenery while eating pretty good food out on the patio area, this is it. The main dining area upstairs was a typical old seafood diner type vibe. The bathrooms are also located upstairs. Service was informative and attentive. It wasn't the best seafood I've had, but I'd definitely come back for the view. Pricing was fair. Check them out!

Although the restaurant has beautiful waterfront seating, we chose to sit inside since it was very hot outside. We started with the Louisiana Seafood Gumbo (bowl, $13.97), which was delicious. The Chicken Wings ($13.89 for 6 pieces) were outstanding and crispy on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. They were definitely my favorite dish of the meal. We also tried the Shrimp-N-Grits ($27.97), which was a unique combination of Argentine red shrimp, creamy cheese grits, sausage, tomatoes, scallions, and other ingredients. It was flavorful and different from anything we've had before. The Jambalaya ($21.93) was just okay. It had plenty of ingredients, but it was a little too salty for my taste. The service was excellent, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The restaurant also has a full bar and, I believe, live music in the evenings, making it a great place to relax. We'll definitely come back the next time we're in St. Pete Beach.

They had a fresh catch of grouper that day, so we decided to try the grouper nuggets. They're market price, but absolutely worth it. Even our friend preferred them over his fried fish.

Just a heads-up: they use a nacho cheese sauce rather than shredded cheese, which some people may prefer to know ahead of time. Our friend from Massachusetts ordered the lobster sub (also market price) and said it was worth every penny. My husband and I split the grouper nuggets and the Philly cheesesteak. The bread is brought in from up north, and our server's recommendation did not disappoint. The sandwich was rich, flavorful, and one of the highlights of the meal. We also tried the onion rings. They use a beer batter, which wasn't our favorite, but that's more of a personal preference than a criticism. Overall, we'd definitely return if we're in the area again. The only downside was parking--$29.99 for two hours is pretty brutal. Thankfully, the food and atmosphere helped make up for it.

    SOLID 5 STARS! My…read moreniece, Laura, and her partner, Rich, are visiting from Chicago. She wanted a restaurant with outdoor seating, a view of the water, an excellent wine list, fine dining selections, AND open on a Monday night. I cried for Help from Yelp. 82 Degrees nailed all 5 criteria. At 6:15pm We were able to make an on-line reservation for three people for 6:30pm. Be careful to only park in spots designated for the restaurant or you will be towed. You can't miss the parking signs because they are plastered on every parking spot. We arrived and were immediately shown to a choice rooftop table just in time to enjoy a fine view of the sunset on the Gulf. After the sun set the bartender asked the diners at the dozen or so tables if they wanted the huge glass windows closed, and since it was starting to get chilly everyone agreed. My niece is very knowledgeable about wine, so she took charge of the wine list. After discussing the (Admittedly small, but well selected) list with the sommelier Laura chose the Iron + Sand Cabernet Sauvignon, a well-regarded, bold red wine from Paso Robles, California (4.8 Stars rating, I looked it up). She must have liked it, because she drank two glasses. Later on, she ordered a Pinot Grigio to go with her entree but I've forgotten the name. She also chose specialty drinks for Rich and I that were tasty and had a nice kick to them, but I don't remember their names either. I would have taken a picture of the drinks menu but my niece wouldn't let go of the list! (Which also meant we couldn't see the prices either, but like the saying goes: If you have to ask, you can't afford it!) It took us a while to study the menu. Just like the wine list, the menu has limited selections but offers excellent choices. It was hard to make a decision! We started off sharing Crab Cakes ($18) and Lobster Bruschetta ($21) appetizers, and we also shared an order of the Lobster Bisque ($15). All three of us agreed that the appetizers were yummy, but the Lobster Bisque was worth the trip all by itself! For my entree I ordered the Wild Caught Snapper with mango pineapple salsa and broccolini ($36) and Truffle Fries ($9). Rich went with the Grouper BLT ($26) and Laura chose the Parmesan Cream Pasta ($26) (Which was why she needed a white wine to go with her entree). Portions did not appear to be large, yet none of us were able to finish our entrees, leaving plenty for Rich and Laura to take home in biodegradable containers for a midnight snack. I'm sorry I wasn't quick enough to get pictures of the entrees. Rich and Laura are not used to snapping pics before digging in, but I can tell you they were all well presented. Even though we were all full, we couldn't resist sharing a slice of: SALTED CARAMEL BUTTERFINGER CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE!!! ($12). Just the name tells you everything you need to know. While Rich and I were dueling with our forks, Laura swooped in and ate most of the dessert, which is totally unfair but is a legitimate female perk so there was nothing we could do. Next time we'll order more than one slice! Our perky waitress was extremely busy serving everyone but managed to keep the entire restaurant happy with her service. I don't think I saw her standing still for more than a couple seconds. Didn't get her name, either, but I'm sure the excellent tip told her we were pleased.

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.
