For was incredible! Delicious and very reasonably priced. Our waitress, Red, was fantastic. She was very welcoming and attentive. A complete sweetheart. We will be looking for her on every upcoming trip out. Restaurant was very friendly and the ambiance was warm. read more

Stopped in for brunch. Immediately seated at a pleasant outdoor table. Service was extraordinarily fast despite the place being really busy. I got a two egg omelet with cheese grits and both were great. My dad got a BLT (with green tomatoes!) and it was enormous and delicious. Service was friendly and fast. Will definitely return. read more

Disappointed. I have come here several times over the past 10 years. I am local. It's gone downhill in my opinion. Had a waffle, sausage patties and coffee Patties were almost paper thin and cold. Coffee was dishwater bad. Waffle good. Syrup container covered with sticky which shows a lack of attention Wait staff very nice Will not be back read more

Had breakfast here this morning and Kevin was our server. Great diner food and quick service with a smile. I ordered bananas with my pancake and there were like 4 slices but as they put it down Kevin was already on it to get more lol Hubby got shrimp n grits and said they were delicious with creamy grits but needed a bit of seasoning. We shared the pancake and it's definitely huge but I wouldn't say it's a hubcap unless it's a small tire. Nice flavor, average pancake overall. Egg platter with white cheese grits and wheat toast. Again pretty decent but average overall. Quick trip here and I'd come back. read more

We came here for the outdoor seating since have a little dog with us. The weather was perfect this morning so perfect location for sitting outside & in the shade. The food is consistently good, I had an egg white omelette that was outstanding with their famous potatoes and my honey had two fried eggs with potatoes. Let's talk about their killer potatoes- they roast them then cut them up and then either pan fry them or bake them again. They are perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. So good! My honey says," they have the best coffee in town!" Service was great- cheerful, funny, accommodating. speedy to turn around our beverages and food with a smile & great sense of humor. This is a locals favorite. Highly recommend read more

I have been watching this diner on social media and finally had time to take my grandson and daughter with me to have breakfast! The parking lot is small but there is plenty of street parking-you may to just walk a little bit (allows more calories at breakfast)! We didn't have a wait to be seated outside and it was a beautiful morning! Our server Rebecca was amazing-she had a great personality and took good care of us! My daughter ordered an omelette with fruit and toast and it was such a generous portion she shared it with my 2 year old grandson! I had the burrito buster and it was huge but delicious! The prices aren't bad at all and the menu is huge! It's definitely worth a repeat visit! read more

I placed an order to go. It was ready in about 15 min. Very quick! It's a quant little diner that was very cute and clean. The servers were very pleasant. The food was hot, fresh and delicious and the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend the black and blue burger! Honestly one of the best burgers I've ever had. read more

This is our go to place for good home style food. We have loved it since our first visit. The fabulous staff is part of the reason it is so nice. It feels like an old style diner. We normally go for breakfast. The eggs are always prepared perfectly, l love the thick flavorful premium bacon while my husband really likes the patty sausage. We share for savory tastes of each. The best side (in our opinions) cheese grits. They are the best grits we have ever had, smooth, creamy and perfectly seasoned. You can get lunch and dinner too. I also like the clean bathrooms. Parking is tough. You may have to walk a ways through the neighborhood. On weekends there will be a wait for breakfast. It is worth it. read more

Been there dozens of times over the years. Yesterday's visit was the last time we will eat there. We had to listen to the staff in the kitchen hollering, laughing and yelling for most of the stay. Good music but they drowned it out. WTF? Grilled chicken breasts so overcooked they were difficult to cut through. I have to question why I ate them but I did not want any replacement from that kitchen. Sounded like a prison environment. Wife ordered breakfast (for dinner) and it was lukewarm. Server could have made sure I had the marinara I specifically asked for as they were NOT busy, yet I was half finished by the time I got it. My conclusion was that they were so focused on having a good time, they forgot why they were there. Never again. read more

Great little diner the only negative for me was we couldn't find parking and had to wait for people to leave . Food was great and waitress was so sweet ! Great diner read more

Great customer service and friendly atmosphere. My kid loved dining here. This is a nice location on 9th street. Ample outdoor seating.

Red waited on us, she was so lovely and attentive! Everything was yummy, it's so nice to go to a real diner with a relaxing and homey atmosphere :) The coffee was also fresh and never ending in the best way! A gem of a place to spend any meal with your family, friends, loves etc. read more

Excellent little St. Pete Florida treasure. Menu has a great variety of options all of which are on the spectrum of traditional breakfast items. Service was great- server was friendly and attentive. Small diner but cute with historical local stories and memorabilia in the tables and on the walls as you enter. Small parking lot maybe fits 15 cars so keep that in mind when coming to visit. You pay at the register and not the table - they take all payment types. Overall loved this place, will definitely be back! read more

If near here you my try this lil place the food is marvelous and service is outstanding you gotta try the shrimp and grits. It's amazing. The restaurant is busy so know that before you go but the food is worth the wait. Britt our server was pleasant and very courteous. We will be back read more

Food: Better than most diners these days! You can tell they went more unique with the recipes vs run of the mill. I had the chicken and biscuits with a side of scrambled eggs. I wanted to try the chicken and waffles but they don't have 100% real maple syrup which is always a deal breaker for me, p.s. offer it for an up-charge ;) This I landed on chicken and biscuits and they were delicious. The chicken had a nice peppery and flavorful breading. I do wish more sausage gravy came with the meal... why because I wasn't expecting 2 biscuits with the split breast. Very good, and I'd go back for this. Service: Excellent service! The waiter checked in with us regularly and the host even let us pick a seat near an outlet as I was there, working during breakfast with someone on my laptop. Ambiance: Classic diner vibes with outside seating too! Has a bar front seating area as well. read more

Moved to St Petersburg Gateway neighborhood about a year ago. Drive past Trips on 9th often, finally decided to stop in for breakfast another time for lunch. Solid place both visits!! Highly recommend the chicken salad melt with grits!! Service was attentive and friendly. parking is available on site. read more

Best breakfast ever! The food was delicious and well portioned. On top of the great food, the service was the best I've experienced. Our waitress Sydney was amazing and went above and beyond! The music and vibe were great too. We even got a free cookie sample when paying. Would 100% recommend! read more

Got a to go egg and steak scramble bowl. 17 bucks for literally 3 tiny pieces of unseasoned steak and 10000 potatoes.

Major disappointment on the salads. Was really looking forward to a crispy romaine salad and instead got soggy wilted lettuce, not worthy of eating. Also, adding to my disappointment was trying to eat my meal while fighting several flies going for my food. I'm eating inside in A/C, so why I'm being attacked by flies? The 2-stars were for the French onion soup that was hot and flavorful. Parking behind the diner helps. read more

Trip's Diner - Counter space - American Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

I had the meatloaf dinner with real, skin--on mashed potatoes, rather bland collards, great garlic Texas style toast. The sauce on the meatloaf was tasty, but I would have preferred a bit more zip and the collards lacked the depth of flavor found in real southern cooking. The meatloaf itself was at least a full half pound and was jucy and full of assorted flavors. The iced tea actually tasted like iced tea. The price Mas reasonable at $13.95. The ambiance was that of a typical dinner. The service was friendly and efficient. The place was packed and parking is space. Order their fried string onions when you come...the merit being in the restaurant hall of fame. read more

I was looking for a hearty breakfast that wasn't going to be super expensive at tourist rates. I found trips where the locals eat. I had a fantastic breakfast exactly what I wanted- sustantial not overpriced with really warm and friendly service. It definitely will not be my last trip to Trips during this visit. read more

Good prices quality taste! I came for the Chicken and waffles and for $11.99 I was very happy. Chicken was flavorful and crispy- waffle just right. Service was friendly and fast. And it has a classic diner vibe. I will be back to try more. Highly recommend! read more

This place is the best,iconic diner love atmosphere and food.can sit in or out staff is the best.

Everything tasted great! I've only tried the location in Tampa so I saw this one and food was just as I expected! Great grits and the waffles was pleasing. I'm a wafflemaniac so it's a win! The servers were so nice and the prices are moderate. Quiet and on the Main Street but also in the cut. Go! read more

We heard that Trip's Diner was the place to go in downtown so I went there last night and had the Fried "Steak", two scrambled eggs, hash browns, and rye toast. The so called Fried Steak was a thin piece of mystery meat with an odd flavor tacked on, my eggs were room temperature, the hash brown were barely warm, but the toast was good. Probably my first and last Trip's to Trip's Don't waste your money read more

Good food, good prices, good service - all in all a solid diner. I've not had lunch or dinner there but it's a popular choice for breakfast/brunch when I visit family in the area. I recommend the hubcap pancakes (they are really are the size of a hubcap) and the fried green tomato eggs Benedict. read more

It is always crazy packed the 3 times I have tried. This places an incredible pressure on kitchen and servers with hundreds of variations in orders and personalities. I am 0-3 actually getting what I ordered. What I received has been this far good enough to not write it off when I am in the mood for their offerings. Also REALLY depends on your taste preferences...I am vegetarian so many items offered I am not interested to consume... it appears to be a carnivores oasis. I can only speak for myself and they have proved for decades that people love their offerings as it continues to pack'um in ! Kudos for knowing your market! read more

Our server took great care of the 6 of us on our Monthly outing. The food was delicious and Hot. Great old style place lots of stuff on the walls to look At ( NY Yankees team photo etc) Definitely going back to try more . It was really busy for a Sunday morning . Parking lot is small but street parking available nearby . read more

Would have given five stars if only based on the service that Deb W provided. We arrived on 6/10/26 about 4 mins before 7:00. Deb greeted us with a smile on her face and song in her heart. Told us to sit anywhere and took our drink order. She was gracious and welcoming. I noticed other customers coming in looking for Deb and she acknowledged all of them. Deb kept checking on us and all the others throughout our meal. The breakfast was good as well. Now for the not so good part which caused the three stars. While Deb was getting our drinks the manager went up to Deb and admonished Deb her for letting us in a few minutes early. We were able to see and hear the manager. It made us feel uncomfortable and upset that Deb was in trouble. We told her we will wait a minute until 7:00 to place the order. Kept watching the manager who never really smiled. A person came to place a to go order and the manager was handling and a guest came up to pay. The manager told the guest she will help them. While multi tasking she gave the customer paying the incorrect change back. Would I come back only based on the managers actions and persona no. Would I come back based on Deb W absolutely and I would recommend if possible folks get the pleasure of Deb W service. read more

This was a multiple time delvery. So, I haven't been there yet. I always order food the way they make it the first time. Then I tweak to my preferred taste. Food was delicious and the next time it was better. The only reason it is not five star is that once a turkey sandwich came looking like it was literally thrown into the to go container. It was uncut. read more

Looked up options for breakfast in the area before driving to Fort Myers and this cute little diner did not disappoint. Mostly traditional menu with a few seafood items sprinkled in to keep with the Florida vibe. Everything was cooked perfectly. The decor is classic with framed photos from the past with a nod to the local area. Our waitress was nice, attentive and quick to help despite running multiple tables the entire time we were there. If you don't want to wait for a table they do have a few seats at the counter that are first come first serve. They also have a nice patio area for those who want to sit outside. If you are in the Tampa/St Pete area I would recommend a stop here for breakfast, brunch or lunch just don't expect anything bougie, it's diner faire at its best. read more

Best cheesy grits I've ever had! Server was friendly and efficient. Love this place because it has character

The service was excellent but the food was just ok. It wasn't bad but it wasn't all that good either. I had corned beef hash and eggs. Hash was bland and eggs were over cooked. Probably won't be going back there any time soon. read more

We had a fun time at this diner. Great atmosphere. They already had a waitlist after only being open 10 min. It was a Saturday morning. I assume most weekends are like this. Recommend getting there when they open to avoid wait. Food: I got the eggs Benedict with grits. Good hollandaise sauce. The grits were creamy and delicious. 9/10 My friend ordered the biggest pancakes I've ever seen. Great batter. Served with butter and syrup. 9/10 Also got a to go order of french toast. My friend said it was excellent too. read more

Trips is a great little place. There is outside seating so depending on time of year...you have that option as well. The food is homemade and delicious. It's in a residential neighborhood so the parking is a little difficult especially on the weekends. I would recommend the Big Breakfast, Corned Beef Hash, and the Avocado Toast. Either way you can't go wrong. Enjoy. read more

First time at Trip's I was at the Tampa location. I had the Reuben. Very good. Pleasantly surprised. I asked if I could substitute my side for the collard greens and they said yes! I also got a small order of the onion strips. They were fried very thinly sliced onion rings. Also very good. They came with a dipping sauce called lemon horseradish. I wish I knew how they put that together. It was so good. Sometimes when you call the restaurant they will tell you how to make it and in what proportions. I was with three other friends and we sat on the patio. We were there for I swear two and a half hours catching up. We were never hurried or rushed even when most of the lunch crowd had left. They had plenty of parking and I was lucky to get a space. Thank you for an enjoyable time Trip's!! read more
