    Central Diner in downtown St Pete expanded to this location. Their prices are always reasonable, and this location is the same. Seating is comfortable, and service is good. Dishes are not fancy, but it is comfort food.

    Breakfast!!

    Great breakfast and great service Prices very good. It's a small homey place Close to the beach and St Pete

    The potatoes with bell peppers, and onions

    The food was presented very nicely. It was horrible. I had the catfish breakfast my husband had the fish was not done. The cheese grits was the worst I've ever had no flavor. Taste anything in them I would not advise anyone to eat here the worst breakfast ever.!!!!!

The restaurant was busy. We grabbed our usual seat at the bar inside. They have plenty of seating inside and out. We were waited on right away by Cathy, and she was awesome. She checked on us frequently and was great. We started with their 16 oz mimosa and tried an appetizer of pierogies. They were delicious. Then we ordered the simple breakfast. Eggs, bacon/ham, hash browns/grits, sour dough toast/biscuit & gravy. everything was cooked to order, hot & delicious!! Great atmosphere, great service, and great food!!

When we visited, it was very busy and buzzing, but the service never missed a beat. Our server was friendly, on top of her game and offered helpful recommendations. Despite the crowd, our food arrived in a timely manner and hot. My husband ordered the eggs Benedict. The eggs were cooked perfectly-when you cut into them, the yolk oozed out exactly the way a perfectly poached egg should. That said, he felt there wan't quite enough hollandaise sauce, and the sauce leaned a little too lemony for his taste. The English muffin also could have been toasted a bit more. The hash browns, however, were the star of the dish-perfectly crisp and well seasoned. I went with the Key West BLT with blackened mahi-mahi, served on a toasted sourdough with garlic aioli. The fish was blackened perfectly-well seasoned with lots of flavor-and paired nicely with the sandwich. I originally planned to order the house chips, but they were not available. Our server recommended the French fries instead because of their unique shape, and she was right-they were crispy and nicely seasoned. Most of the seating is outdoors under umbrellas, which adds to the laid-back Florida vibe. Overall, this is a lively neighborhood spot that feels full of locals who clearly love coming here. We'll be back to try more dishes.

    This is a must for anyone who likes Cuban sandwiches…read more Our go to lunch spot on Treasure Island. The sandwiches are delicious and huge. We have had the traditional Cuban, the Salami and the Roast Beef. All are amazing. It is a no frills spot with plenty of outdoor seating and some indoor as well. The bread is perfect, the beans and rice spot on, but you come for the sandwiches, and they deliver. The staff are pretty laid back and it is simple service and good food. Like I said, we always come here when we are in town. We had to wait for while after the hurricanes but I am so glad they are open again. Stop in and enjoy.

This sandwich is so on point words can't even describe it, so you would have to go and stop and try it on your own. My costar of the show is the order of rice, beans, and onions as a side. In a little container, the rice is on the bottom, yellow, not mushy not crunchy just perfect, with a beautifully baked beans on top, with a lovely, sweet, savory juice. Topped that all off with the crunchy onions and you have a winner of winners. Add the fresh fountain, drink, and sit outside under the cabana, and just take life and enjoy the lunch. Services with a smile, and they do take credit and debit cards also. I also noticed a lot of takeout happening when I arrived. When on Treasure Island this really is my favorite spot for lunch Easy parking both in the front, the side of the building and in the back. It's a little tricky backing out onto the main drag, but doable. Thanks again for a wonderful experience Floridian. You really are a staple in the community and much appreciated.

I need to be better about taking pictures, but the jam selection was unreal. I got the Wild Black Raspberry as recommended by the employee. He said it was his personal fav, and WOW, I can see why!! I paired in with some feta wrapped in some well-buttered phyllo sheets, and it was *chef's kiss*. As a matter of fact, I added MORE of the jam after taking it out of the oven. I also got a block of Gouda cheese, which is imported from the Netherlands by a local couple here. Crazy!!! I'm excited to try it soon. I'll update this review whenever I get a chance to try. This little shop was super cute and had exactly what I needed! Small little corner store, just as it says. Friendly service and 10/10 jams. They had other amazing options like Apricot, Blueberry, and some savory options like Garlic Onion and Bacon something. Yum!!! I think this place is a spot for local businesses/vendors to sell their things, because they also had Kahwa coffee grounds which is a local coffee spot here (I think). Love a local business that supports local businesses!!!

On this day (Wednesday) I found myself working from home and said to my self, "Self, today we eat at the Side Door Deli". As I pulled in from Central I could see the lot was busy but spots were available. I believe I entered thru the front door, but as I looked the place over I could see "The Side Door". My order for today was to go and a nice lady was there ready to take it. I looked the menu over and decided on the "Kevin" a corned beef, lettuce and tomato club with Russian dressing. I had a slice of cheese on mine. With it I got the potato salad. Under $14 with a 12oz drink. Having only a short wait, I received my order and made my way home, could not wait. I have been waiting a long time to find this type of deli / luncheonette place to eat. Opening the box it came in, it was put together right. I first hit the potato salad first and it was awesome. Just the right amount zing. Now it's Kevin's turn...Wow, this is my new go place for a club. I wasn't sure if I wanted it toasted or not and the nice lady taking my order said,"lightly". I says yes. Next time full toast. I totally recommend this place, won't be disappointed. And I do see they are open on Saturdays. Breakfast? Peace.
