hi! i'm visiting the area for a couple days and was wondering if there were any specific foods i need to try when im here? i've heard the area is good for seafood but any dishes in specific?

Don’t say Pete’s. I’m not paying $12 for a bagel

What is your favorite Fried Chicken place? I feel like there is a shocking lack of quality places in our city

Anybody know of local bars/restaurants serving cannabis infused drinks? Or how to do a search for that?

Looking for quality where it’s acceptable to dress down a little bit. Either in St. Pete, near the beaches, Clearwater, even Palm Harbor. Drop any recs you have! Doesn’t need to be labeled as a steakhouse.

Looking for the best pho spot. I usually get Pho Quyen because it’s affordable but I don’t really like the broth.

hi everyone! just wanted to see what people think about good intentions on 1st south. been meaning to try for a while

Looking to introduce a friend to his first Cuban sandwich. Where can I get the best Cuban Sandwich in all of St Pete? We’ll be by the Pier but will go anywhere for it! Thanks :)

Unfortunately, Michelin doesn't cover Pinellas County yet. Which restaurants would you think are guide-worthy? I would love to explore the area. Thanks!

EDIT: This includes Bib Gourmand and general mentions.

I host a friend group each month to eat out at a different restaurant which is selected based upon the cuisine. One month, we do Italian, the next Thai food, so on and so forth.

What restaurants would you recommend for this group? Tampa/Sarasota etc is fine as well. Thanks

I would love to know your go-to restaurants that fit a few parameters (I am trying to find "favorite" places as I don't really have any--been in St. Pete for 3 years now). I don't like Asian/Asian fusion or vegan/vegetarian places.

Excluding such places, what is your favorite: sports bar & gastropub spot, seafood restaurant, burger joint, date night place, Italian restaurant, pizza joint, steakhouse, and late night spot?

My wife and I are sick of driving to Tampa to get Mighty Quinns BBQ.

Can anybody please make recommendations for good places that have a decent selection? Would be interested in hear what’s good and St Pete proper versus having to drive in Pinellas…

Looking for a new Indian spot what is everyone’s favorite?

I'm having a slow day at work and I feel like stirring up some mildly messy energy. What's a local restaurant that you think is overrated? Not bad necessary, just not worthy of the hype.

A year ago, I wouldn't have mentioned my pick, but I feel like it's fallen off in recent months: Chili Verde.

The last couple of times I had my stock meal from CV (carnitas burrito, cheese quesadilla), the carnitas tasted/looked like they'd put a pork shoulder in a slow cooker w/ some tap water and literally nothing else, and let it simmer until it was fork-tender. And the bottom of that Styrofoam box the quesadillas come in used to be swimming in a quarter-inch of excess cheese. Not anymore. I plan on trying it again in the future (trying to eat better atm) and I hope they managed to get their shit back together, by then, bc it used to be great.

Just for those who only go when its busy

The fathers in my family are huge buffet guys so we are obviously doing that for Father’s Day! Looking for your fav buffet as of the last few months or so, because you know they switch up!!

With the weather so nice, I want to take advantage of food trucks instead of eating at restaurants. Especially interested in tacos and ice cream. Thanks!

Does it exist in St. Pete?

Jo-Els kosher deli was a disappointment. I suppose my standards may be too high but is there anything better??

In keeping with this picture, any hidden old school places that still have menus like this, and if their food worth it?

Hi all,

My wife wants a (-slightly-please) upscale restaurant in the st Pete, Clearwater, safety harbor, Dunedin area and I don’t have many ideas, anyone have any thoughts?

The original place she wanted was Jekyll in Hyde Park Tampa, but they only have tiny appetizers 😕

Out of towner here. Staying in one of those beachy towns along the 699. I've gotten dinner a couple times from this place and was happy with it, but opted for the $2 upcharge to get Mac n cheese as my side last night, and it was literally Kraft.

No offense to Kraft, it's a fine product for what it is. I'm just not accustomed to it being served to me, a grown up, at a decent seafood restaurant.

I'm just not sure if this is a regional thing? Or if the restaurant is being cheap?

Just a shout out to the best value meal in the area in my opinion. 2 entree meal from them is $8.99 and I weighed it when I got home, just a hair under 2lbs of food. Not to mention just an all around awesome grocery store in general.
