    We ordered three appetizers and only two came out, yet we were charged for all three and had to prove we never received the third. The food that did arrive was cold, like it had been sitting out for a while. The rice was very hard and unbeatable. We also ordered a round of drinks that never came, but of course, they were still on the bill. Once again, we had to argue to get the charges removed. I accidentally left my hoodie and tried calling, only to find out they don't have a phone line, which I find very odd. I drove 20 minutes back (my fault), just to be told that no one would assist me in looking for my item. To top it off, I ordered a burger to go and got home to find a wrap of some sort instead, which I'm sure costs far less than what I paid for. Needless to say, I will never return and will never recommend this place to anyone. To whomever got my Hoodie I enjoy it. I hope you stay cold!!!

    This would have been a 5 star review if the kitchen hadn't screwed up my order 2X. I'll get to that in a bit. Heard a lot of good things about Dead Bob's. My wing man Gary suggested we have lunch here. The parking lot was FULL. I managed to snag the very last spot. Gary uses a walker and it's hard for him to climb onto the high chairs here, but fortunately there are 2 tables at normal height on the patio at the new upscale location. They are Going after the tourist and snow-bird dollar. The hamburgers are what every one raves about, so that's what I ordered. I started with the soup du jour Lobster Bisque ($5.97). It was ok, but nothing special. Then I got the Bleu Bob Burger ($13.57). I told the waitress No Tomato, and substituted the rice and beans with French fries for an extra $2. I watched her write it down. The kitchen waiter delivered a burger with tomato. I sent it back, and Gary was practically finished with his Philly Cheese when I got my meal. No tomato, but no fries either. The meal was not delivered to the table by our waitress or she would have noticed the mistakes. Was almost finished with my burger (Which was fantastic) when my fries arrived. The waitress was apologetic and didn't charge me the $2 for the fries. But still it was frustrating. Obviously they are still experiencing some teething problems at the new location. If the burger, when it finally arrived, hadn't been exceptional they would have gotten even fewer stars. I'll give them a while to get used to their new location and give them a chance at that 5th star.

    Great fish and chips

    As soon as we entered, we both thought this is exactly like a high end Willie's! Willie's was the greatest dive bar and best burger on St. Pete beach. It didn't make it thru hurricane Helene. Though much bigger and a lot more modern, the building is configured just like Willies. And I must say the burger was just as good also! Our server has excellent. Happy we found this place and will definitely be back when in the area!

    Dead Bobs has a vibe that perfectly matches its name. We came here off a recommendation for a local and it was definitely an experience. This is a classic old dive bar in St. Pete- it's loud, a bit rowdy and not the cleanest. There are funny signs all over and yes, Dead Bob is actually a person utilized in their logo and branding. We came for brunch one morning which I imagine was a little tamer than other times, but it was still super busy. It gets crammed when it's busy. Service was a little slow but we enjoyed our meals. It was standard breakfast food, a small menu. The best part was definitely the prices, probably the cheapest meal we had all weekend around Treasure Island area.

    We finally got to check out the new location. It's easy bigger and has a more sports bar vibe. We tried the daily special ossobuco with broccoli and mashed potatoes and it was very good and incredibly well priced at around $20. I really love their garlic broccoli and always get it as my side. We also tried their chopped cheese sandwich and I think my husband thought it'd be more of a burger, but it wasn't. It was kind of like a burger cheesesteak. Still good with lots of meat and cheese though.

    Dead bobs has been a staple for me in my time living in St Pete and I haven't been in awhile but decided to check out their new location when I heard it opened up. It's only been open a few weeks but I was able to find a spot at the bar which is much bigger than the OG location. I do miss the hole in the wall feel but it's definitely easier to find a place to sit. They still have their signature bottled beer and drinks in styrofoam cups with decent prices. I got the fried Mac and cheese, no bones chicken with Thai BBQ and a wedge salad to go. The fried Mac and cheese had really thick breading but was still good, the wedge was insane for the price and the boneless chicken you can tell is hand breaded. Sometimes service can be a bit slow just because of how busy it is but everything came out in timely manner. Definitely will be back!

    Pork "wings" are tasty and wide choice of sauce combos.

    New everything, great fresh start from the old location for sure. Tigjt parking. Clean and fresh and open layout. Food is good to very good!!! Staff is trained well and good teamwork, some are very good. Strong local customer base, gets crowded quick in afternoon and alot of bougie attitudes from local regulars that's less than friendly for some reason? Three times waiting to order at busy bar I've been "challenged" by some over-testosteroned posturing "local" ego flexing for whatever reason. I'll take my money away from the swordfight to a place with more chill clientele for now. P.S. I'm 5th gen so no shade yeet on locals, just don't act like you're royalty because you know an owner and have a lifted golf cart. ROFL.

    When everyone else is closed, you can rely on Dead Bob's to be open until 2 or 3 AM depending on the day of the week. I am not a particular fan of the music that they play, but I do love the new location that they have opened up. They have a nice menu selection and overall it is pretty tasty. I have dined at this establishment three or four times. The last time that I visited, the person that I went with told me their fish was undercooked and flavorless. That was definitely a turn off for them. I highly recommend the Crab Rangoon . The sweet chili sauce tastes like it is homemade. It is the perfect pairing. Their wings are also very good and they are willing to accommodate requests. The person that I went with asked them to fry the chicken plain and toss it in the sweet Thai chili sauce and they were willing to accommodate. I ordered a shrimp Caesar salad and I definitely think it is worth the price. The bowl definitely looked like something you would get out of prison and the person that I went with remarked that it was actually a sauce bowl for food preparation. We had a good laugh over it. Either way, I love coming to this establishment and I do not see myself stopping anytime soon even amid some of the negatives.

We got to watch an amazing sunset, which was definitely the highlight. The food took a little longer than expected to come out, but it was tasty and reasonably priced. I ordered blackened grouper tacos and my friends ordered burgers. We all enjoyed our plates. The service was good and the staff was friendly. Parking is free, which is a plus, but it is pretty limited, so that's something to keep in mind. Overall, a solid spot with a great vibe.

We like this location because it does have a rooftop patio where you can sit and watch the inlet. They also have a large outdoor seating area that is covered. When we got there on Friday around three in the afternoon, it was already pretty busy with a very senior crowd. We chose to order a couple of beers and just sat at one of the tables outside. From what we observed, the team all seem pretty friendly and when we did ask if they had bottles of water, they did make the effort to see if they could find any on property. Unfortunately, the one location they looked that they thought they would be, and they didn't have them- at that point we were just ready to keep moving on with our day so let them know it was fine and we appreciated the attempt.

Well-versed on the menu and a very pleasant lady. It's certainly not a fancy place and it looks like it's been around for a while, but it's the kind of place where you might like to hang out at the bar. Everyone there seems to be friendly and you get that comfortable feeling. We had a variety of food items, some better than others but nothing below average. Really good salads, as you can see by the pictures, a nice job on the chicken wings, a BLT that was pretty tasty; the butternut squash soup was OK, pretty thick and not hot at all. One was returned to the kitchen to be heated up. There was a chicken dip that really didn't hit the spot, and the tortilla chips that came with it seem to be past their prime. As for the fried mushrooms. I found them pretty much ordinary. A nice surprise were the brussels sprouts with balsamic and goat cheese. Really really good. Overall, I would give the food about a 3 1/2 stars at the service five stars so what averages out around four stars. Like I said it looks like a nice place to hang around and have a couple of beverages and a little something to eat.
