Shaner's Land & Sea Market — Restaurant in Saint Pete Beach

This little deli is the best kept secret in the world. On any given visit as you step inside just to your right you see a frige with freshly prepared dinners ready to heat. Lasagna BBQ chicken sausage and pepper dinners beef stroganoff dinners and many more. Ready to just drop in the oven or remove and put in a micro wave safe dish. Everything is absolutely delicious and freshly-made there from scratch. Today they had chicken soup freshly me 16 oz $2.49 unbelievable. That's just an example. Then as you walk down in front of the butcher's cases the first thing you see is a myriad of spices they have their own spices they sell for everything. Their blackening spice is the best I've ever had. You can't get a better cut of meat a fresher piece of local seafood. There's a another refrigerator which is full of shish kabob type barbecues every flavor you could ever think of stuffed mushrooms. All kinds of freshly prepared chicken to cook you name it they've got it. There is always a butcher on duty they do every kind of special cut or special order that you can imagine. The best kept secret in the...

Used to love this place, not anymore We’ve been stopping at Shaner's for years during our visits to Pass-a-Grille, St. Pete, and Treasure Island. It was always our go-to for fresh seafood, especially grouper, and the staff used to be so friendly and welcoming and helpful.

Since the ownership change, the place looks brighter, and they’ve added a sandwich and chicken area, plus outdoor benches which are nice improvements.

But sadly, the service has gone downhill. We waited at the counter for a while before anyone noticed us. No smile, no greeting, just a cold transaction. It felt like we were bothering them.

It might seem like a small thing, but customer service matters. You can update the look and change the menu, but people come back because of how they’re treated. The food might still be fine, but the vibe is gone. Sadly, we won’t be returning.

UPDATE: And the grouper had no a fish smell ...it smell like it was out of the refrigerator for a long time...30.00...

I have been stopping there occasionally over the years and was always happy until this last most recent visit. I looked at the fish & shrimp case and saw what appeared to be peeled & deveined red shrimp so, i asked why the sign said "Red Royal Shrimp;" What ya need to know is that Red Royal Shrimp are normally sold "Peel On" for about $22 to $25 a pound because they taste like lobster as does Rock Shrimp. So, the price was $16.99 a pound which i thought was a cheap price for Royal Red and i asked; do they taste like Lobster and the salesman said yes they do and asked how many pounds do you want. Normal plain red shrimp sell for $7.99 a pound(shell-on) and $10.99 for peeled and deveined but, i did buy one pound anyway and went home to cook them up. No surprise...they did not taste like lobster. I was sold Red Shrimp for an outrageous $16.99 a pound. Good rip-off guys! You all...
