Guidebook for St Petersburg
Food Scene
This place is in an awkward location, but we visited this location once for breakfast about a year ago, and once for dinner in January 2023. The food is phenomenal! If you have dinner there, you must try the cauliflower appetizer - out of this world delicious!
Not cheap but also not ridiculously expensive. Service is prompt and friendly. Indoor and outside seating. For indoor seating on weekens, make reservations ahead of time! This place books up fast.

Oldest Restaurant in St. Petersburg, since 1920. Great outdoor seating and ambience. Local hangout with live music most nights of the week. The seafood chowder is to die for, and so are the chickenwings. However, all food is good and every taste bud will find its match. Cash only!

If you like Poke - this is the place to visit. Fresh ingredients all the time, right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Central Ave. Try the counter sauce, its spicy but oh so good.

If you love grouper - this is THE place to go! Fresh from local fishermen every morning, home made buns for the sandwich. Its a hole in the wall place right across runway 7 of the Albert Whitted airport, but the food is one of the best in Saint Petersburg, and the (especially blackened) grouper one of the best in all of Florida. A must see/try. They also have live music at night.
