We always go to Skidders restaurant when in St Petes. It's opposite the Guy Harvey Outpost Hotel (where we stayed). Great food and lots of it!

We've had a couple of nights in St Pete Beach this week and also did a few nights there last summer. If you look at Mrs P's food reports (links in our signature below) you'll get some ideas of places to eat. Bongo's is a must.

We stayed there for 2 nights just over a week ago. Not sure if you know but you do get charged a $32 ish resort fee per night, this does cover parking, pool/beach towels, 2 sun lounger or cabana on the beach and free tea/coffee by the lobby and free wifi.
We also went to Skidders for breakfast - fabulous place, very popular with the locals, a fire dept team were all having breakfast when we went in, as pp said lots of food and very nice.

We loved St Johns pass. There's a Bubba Gumps there and loads of other restaurants right by the water and we saw loads of dolphins.
