The prices are really great and they have daily specials which is a great perk! I ordered the mac and cheese melt; it was described as being world famous so I had to see what that was about. Warning: this sandwich gets very MESSY. But it is DELICIOUS. The mac and cheese is made with shells and a white cheese sauce and it was perfectly cooked. The sandwich is also layered with pulled pork that paired perfectly with the mac and cheese all between two slices of Texas toast. The flavors were so yummy and the sandwich had a perfect bite each time. The customer service was also great. Our server was kind and checked with us every once in a while to make sure everything was good. It was busy for a Saturday around noon.

Date of Visit: 04/25/2026…read more It was a beautiful and needed to take Fritz out, I checked Google maps and found a cool craft beer place and saw they serve burgers. So off I went. Found it on MLK just past 30th...went inside and notice they don't have a kitchen but food trucks that serve...not what I wanted but had a beer any way. But where I was going with this is just across the street is this place and glad I did. It's my kinda neighborhood bar. The girl was quick to notice my presents and drink orders taken. I was wanting a burger so looked the menu over and the "Double Ralphy" LTO w/bacon...and upgrade to fries. As I waited for my burger I took in the place. I didn't go all the way in but there was a place to hide and relax, cool. Burger arrived and it looked great. I did say bacon earlier but I didn't notice it came with till now. I asked for medium and medium I got. And the LTO was fresh as well. The only thing if any, the fries could have been done just bit more. And these are the fries I prefer too. I can see me and wife out for a drive and stopping in for cold one, that kinda place. Peace.

The department cites violations of Florida's sanitation and safety laws, which are based on the standards of U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Food Code. High Priority violations are those which could contribute directly to a foodborne illness or injury and include items such as cooking, reheating, cooling and hand-washing. Intermediate violations are those which, if not addressed, could lead to risk factors that contribute to foodborne illness or injury. These violations include personnel training, documentation or record keeping and labeling. Basic violations are those which are considered best practices to implement.

Date of visit: 05/03/25…read more First of all, I have been driving by this place on Saturday mornings on my way to my car therapy group on 4th Street, Cars of Course...it was during one of these sessions I over heard someone talking about this place, doing happy hour and had a good burger. I took note of it and that same day I would visit. The wife was having dinner that evening in Dunedin with her girls so it was a good time to visit. Like to pre-visit places before taking her if I can. It was around six when I arrived, not too busy for derby day either, found a parking spot in front. Located a seat at the bar and was quickly waited on. I asked if they had Miller High Life and the answer was yes...one more place that carry them. After hearing about the burgers earlier I had to try one. I wasn't too hungry so I opted for the (2) slider offering with cheese. And it was laid out in such a way inside that you could chill. That's important. I could how this place is the locale hang out. Good food, people and clean. The burgers came out I no time and I must say, I am a smashburger guy but these slides were awesome. And two were just enough, almost had the fries too but glad I didn't. For being sliders they were still juicy and plenty of cheese. Overall, I will be back for the sliders for sure if not just for the MHL. Peace.

The Flamingo is a must-see for any Jack Kerouac fan, as this is the last place to see Jack alive…read more(unless you want to count the hospital, where he died). Yes, believe it or not, the iconic Beat generation poet spent his remaining years living in St. Petersburg, Florida (of all places), with his mother and third wife. He loved the anonymity that the city afforded him, The Flamingo was his frequent hangout dive bar, and the night prior to his death, October 20, 1969, was no exception. After a few hours of being home, he complained of stomach pains, vomited blood, and was taken to the hospital, where he underwent surgery and died at 5:15 the following morning, October 21, age 47; cirrhosis of the liver from lifelong drinking did him in. The Flamingo is where he had his last drink. The bar essentially remains the same as it was when he spent his time here. It is a known pilgrimage site for fans of "On the Road", and the bar has decided to pay tribute to him by having his picture on their window, a Jack Kerouac special drink in his honor, and a lovely, colorful mural on the wall that Jack himself would have been proud of. I heard that there are also photos of him inside the bar. The Flamingo is Vietnam-Veteran owned. The owner had the privilege of meeting Jack in the flesh, and it is said that Jack enjoyed hearing about his time in Vietnam, and that he was a pretty good pool player. On occasion, The Flamingo will hold musical performances, and poetry readings in his honor. I thought I read somewhere that they use the money for the Friends of Kerouac nonprofit. I did not have the honor of stepping foot inside the brightly-painted sports bar, as it was early morning, and closed at that time. Even if I had stuck around until opening time, there is something about drinking in the morning/day time that just does not sit right with me, so I didn't have the privilege of trying the Jack Kerouac special. If I do find myself in St. Pete one night, I'd like to check out the bar, maybe catch a jazz or blues act, and give the Kerouac special a try, in honor of this special gentleman. It'd be interesting to see what types of diverse crowds this bar attracts as well!
