Sea Turtle - Saint Pete Beach

We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. The prices are great and the food is delicious. The French toast is a must-try and made perfectly. The breakfast options with a twist are amazing. The place could be a bit cleaner and the staff could be a bit friendlier, but the food makes it worth a visit.

Upon entering the restaurant, we were quickly greeted and given the choice of where to sit. However, I can only give this place one star. It was almost two stars solely because of the delicious breakfast potatoes. The menu featured ribs and other dishes, with the standout being the flavorful potatoes. Unfortunately, the eggs were overcooked, the bacon was cold, the biscuits and gravy were not hot (and the biscuit seemed store-bought), and the French toast was unrecognizable. The service was decent and the restaurant was not crowded.

We visited the cafe for breakfast and it was absolutely fantastic. The salty spice they added to the mushrooms and fries really enhanced the flavors. The only downside was the service. The owner seemed unhappy and was rude to customers. It was uncomfortable dining in that environment and we won't be returning. It's not worth being caught in the middle of a family argument while trying to enjoy a meal.

My daughter and I visited for brunch and it was ridiculously good. we both had the French toast, and it was, without asking, the best of us ever. the service was super, friendly and fast and they have unbeatable prices. during our st. pete beach holidays we don't eat breakfast/breakfast anymore! can't wait to work my way through the menu!

Update: After reading the other reviews… my experience is not alone!! The owner or waitress is a witch and has a terrible attitude, apparent to many. * Not sure how this place is rated so highly. If you have any pigment or melanin in your skin tone, don’t even bother coming here. They won’t serve you. Walked in at 10:30am on a WEDNESDAY and saw at least 7 open tables (out of maybe 10-11 tables total). The rude, grey haired woman with an accent looked down at my biracial 7 year old, scoffed, and said “30 minute to an hour wait”, rolled her eyes and walked off. Didn’t take names or ask if we wanted to stay and wait. No “good morning” no “welcome”… Absolutely terrible and miserable staff. Go elsewhere, they don’t deserve your business.
