Paradise Grille — Restaurant in Saint Pete Beach

Tasty beach shack takeout that is reasonably priced.

Employees were very friendly and kept the line moving.

The fish and chips had hearty pieces of tasty white fish. This isn't proper British fish and chips but was good. Coleslaw was tasty, but standard.

The grilled fish tacos had great flavor, probably the highlight of our shared meal.

The pina colada and strawberry daqueri were a little meh. Kinda lacking in flavor and very little alcohol, but they still were a good cold topper to a tasty meal.

Food last call was about a half hour prior to sunset. That surprised me, and I'm glad we got there with plenty of time. Shortly after we got there, there was a decent line. So get there an hour-plus before sunset to beat the rush.

Breakfast prices are far more reasonable than our hotel, so we will try this for at least one breakfast.

This is a straight-up beach shack pay and takeout restaurant. No "normal" sit-down service. Everything is in takeout containers. Silverware is plastic in wrapped packaging. Condiments are packets. Not complaining, just stating facts.

My one gripe is that the recyclable paper straws are too small for the grains in the iced drinks, and they go soggy long before you finish your drink.

All in all, great views, good food, friendly staff. Worth...

Wow, if you are looking for good, fresh meals this is the spot for you! We ate dinner here and had the burger and the Philly. They were both simple but delicious. I got extra cheese on the Philly. Big portions for the meals too. We ended up getting breakfast here the next day and same deal, big portions and delicious food. We got the country breakfast special and the pancakes. Honestly, I wasn't expecting either time to enjoy the food as much as I did with how hard it is to find good service and good food these days. I would highly recommend this spot for anyone. Wish I would've took pictures of the food but by the time I thought of it the food was eaten so.... I will say the wait wasn't quick but that's because they are making all your food fresh, nothing sitting under a heat lamp. I will gladly wait a couple extra minutes for...

The food? Great. The tall dark haired kid with the 3 day growth behind the counter...not so much. (and not just today). Aside from his ignoring customers standing in line while being engrossed in his smart phone, his atitude needs a bit of work. They say 90% of communication is non-verbal, and what his body language screams is “I don’t want to be here. Why are you bothering me? This job is totally beneath me. Please go away!”. Of course I could be wrong. Maybe he just had a fight with his bestie, or someone peed in his canteen. I don’t know, but whatever the reason, it sure puts a damper on having a pleasant breakfast in Paradise. A simple smile and a little eye contact would go a long way. Whatever it is, he needs to suck it up, put on his happy face, and quit bumming...
