First time here and definitely will be back. I had their 1-lb shrimp boil for $15. What a deal! Corn, potatoes, shrimp with butter, old bay, and cocktail sauce. It was very good, but I wish the shrimp and potatoes/corn were cooked with the seasonings instead of the seasonings coming on the side. It was good, but could be so much better! Everyone in my party enjoyed their meals. Service was good, and prices were good for what you get. Can't wait to try more things here!
I had the grouper sandwich meal. The fish was really good. The fries could have been cooked a little longer and salted. I am very particular about coleslaw, so theirs is not my favorite. The service was good. The server was very nice. There was an unpleasant odor while we were there, maybe because of the heavy rains causing a backup from the pipes?
They poured a great drink but the grilled cheese was disappointing. Lots of bread and only 1 or maybe 2 pieces of cheese. Cheese didn't make it to the edge of the bread. Onion strings had a good flavor sauce is nice but they definitely weren't cooked enough. Also disappointed.
Need to turn this around. This used to be really good.Server was good...but the kitchen sent out soup, salad, and entree all at the same time. The bowl of chili was other restaurant's cup, and the cheese on top was a slice of American cheese. Really? $6? The Shepherd's Pie would not have been helped by warmth as it was nothing more than fried ground beef, kernel corn, topped with mashed potatoes and melted cheese on top.... not sure it ever saw the inside of an oven. At least the cheese was shredded cheddar. The salad was good.... Next time I'll drive up to Gulf to Bay....
Very comfortable tavern with a laid back neighborhood feel. Visited a few times. Food was always good; from the loose meat sandwich to the signature pork sandwich. Beer was always cold!
This was my first time eating here and the best way to explain my experience is unfortunate. The special of the day was a breaded tenderloin so being from Indiana (home of the tenderloin) I decided to try it. Unfortunately it was a total disappointment. The fries were undercooked/flimsy and the sandwich was far from what I expected. First it wasn't even made how I'd ask. I'd ask for lettuce and onion with mayonnaise on the side. However mine came with onion and mustard with no lettuce or mayonnaise. I asked for a new bun but instead of getting another toasted one with the proper condiments, I was given a basic cold bun and got the feeling it was an inconvience. I had to wipe the mustard off of the onion pieces before putting them on my new sandwich and wait another 5 mins for my lettuce to be brought to me. When I finally was able to try the tenderloin, my first bit was a big piece of gristle. The tenderloin was not pounded flat and breaded but more of a pork steak. When I told my server about my disappointment in both the sandwich and the fries all she said was I'm sorry. Never did she ask if I'd like something different. She entered my order at 5:28 pm and swiped my credit card to pay at 5:51 pm. Ten minutes to get food, another 5-7 min to get items I asked for. That should give you an idea of how unimpressed I was with the food.
I have been to the clearwater location and loved it. When we came in first it smelt weird, like a sewer like smell. I almost walked out but again, I liked the other location. I got their famous pork sandwich ( Ive had it before and loved it) and it wasnt good. No flavor just blah. I didn't bother eating it. The tots had no flavor either. It overall wasnt appetizing experience.
Having been to the location in Clearwater, before COVID issue, I felt secure that my dinner at the Pinellas Park location would be as good. NOT EVEN CLOSE !! Let's start with the decor, or lack there of. It was difficult to see anything including the menu since most of the overhead lights were out or flickering. It seemed to be "Dive Bar". Now for the food.........TERRIBLE !! I chose the Pork Tenderloin, which was the "special of the night". It could have been "shoe sole" of the night....tough,tasteless and BAD !!.. as were the french fries. The waitress tried hard with way too many tables to cover, including those outside. I have eaten in many restaurants throughout the U.S. and this ranks as the WORSE ever !! It seems like no one cares or recognizes the problems.
Was there on a Sunday night. They ran out of the wine I was drinking. Didn't have 2 of the 3 selections I picked. The substitutes were great. Great food , friendly and helpful staff and priced reasonable. Just don't go too late on a Sunday night
Do yourself a favor and get you some!! Pete and Shorty’s is our go-to spot! The staff is always welcoming and they will LITERALLY make your meal as requested!!! Also, KISS the chef!! Must have magic hands cause the food is ALWAYS delish!!!
