The soups, and there are always lots to choose from, are so hearty and taste homemade, but be prepared to take half your food home. Their sandwiches are massive. Had I known better, I would have ordered the half-soup-and-half-sandwich combo. Service was excellent. Parking is easy. If you haven't stopped by yet, be sure you do.

Low key pub, Excellent soup!…read more We found Stone Soup Cafe and Pub, St. Petersburg FL. It's at 42nd Ave., North in a little strip mall facing 16th St. and you really can only see it coming south on 16th St. I'll tell you where it is: about seven streets in and 7 half-streets north from the 30th Avenue North exit off 275. It's just off Haynes Road north, if you know where that is. Lots of parking It has a low-key pub look: dark, unassuming, cozy, lots of wood. Plenty of indoor tables for maybe 40, a full-bar pub on the far side with stools for a couple dozen, and some outdoor seating for about another dozen in a breezy covered hallway between buildings. At 11:30am on a Thursday, it had just opened. There were people there already, and it was packed by 11:45! It got really noisy, in a nice everyone-is-relaxed-here way. This place was new to us, and we knew all that was a good sign. We chose several crafts from about 50 varieties of beer, about a dozen on tap. We love that stuff, but our focus was the soup, and sure enough, the soup was very good! We chose among 4 soups which seemed to change daily, plus sandwiches and salads. The soups were veggie, shrimp corn-chowder/bisque, stuffed pepper soup, and mushroom soup. (Jun 2026). The veggie soup was good with tons of veggies. Several of us got shrimp bisque and liked the flavor a lot! Some got fresh crunchy caesar salad. One got a BST sandwich: "bacon spinach tomato". A nice stack of flavorful bacon, thin, perfectly crisp. Balsamic on the side. Very good! We had some minor thoughts: We expected toast in the BST, but is was bread. Good bread. But not toast. The veggie soup could have done with some zingier spiciness. And though the chowder had a rich savory shrimp flavor, the quote of the night was, "i found a shrimp"! Yeah, none to be seen. This soup was really worth it! Great flavors. Good prices. A nice T-shirt with a big pelican in Hawaiian shirt with a cocktail on the back! But i am giving it only 4-stars because of the missing shrimp. This is Florida! You can get shrimp. But dont be fooled by my whininess. We'll be back!

I regret not taking home another slice. I'd go back multiple days just for that cake Now to the meal The curry puffs and the saw it comes with is a marriage of flavors. The puff came out HOT! And the sauce has a sweetness to it that goes great with the filling. The Thai was also great. Not too sweet. I ended up getting the Krapow. It's not a dish on any "typical" Thai restaurant and I love it. I got the spicy level and it was perfect. This restaurant really is a gem. Introduces anyone to newer dishes and soups that aren't common in American Thai places. I loved it. Will definitely be back.

Classic Viet restaurant with all of the offerings you could ask for and flavorful pho broth…read more Tasty Pho is a consistently busy, casual sit down restaurant with pages of all types of Vietnamese cuisine. Parking lot is always busy, but there are plenty of spots since it is located in a large strip mall. I always opt for the rare beef pho in the large size. Definitely worth the $1 difference in price for the large. Today, the noodles were a little overcooked, but that's not my typical experience. Pro tip - their boba teas are massive and delicious!

Love Love Love Tasty Pho!…read more I love a lot of dishes here. Everything is scratch made here. Even the hot chili oil & boba balls. LOL The dining room is very comfy & they play a lot of groovy techno music. It's a very upbeat good vibes place OuiOui. Anyhoo, I love coming here to stuff my face often, especially with their grilled pork chops OMG! :)... The other day I was here, Sir Hubbers knew I was here & text me & ask me to come immediately, he needed me to sign some papers... I had just ordered the Pork Chops & I had to get my pork chop packed up to go! I didn't even get to take one bite! I told him soon as I pack up my pork chops to go, I will come save you. So, I go over there & sure enough, he eats ALL my pork chops! Not half, ALL my pork chops. LOL Then, sends me to go get him pasta! (See photo of our ridiculous text conversations) LOLOLOLOL So, if you think we are eating too many pork chops we do not care. This is the pork chop hill we have decided to die on. LOL If you like pork chops, believe me, you have NEVER had any pork chops as good as these babies. WOZA! And if you don't believe me, that's okay too. We are slaying this Pork Chop hill all the way OuiOui. Leave us to our Pork Chop Heaven baby! To the death do us part OuiOui. lol Highest Recommendations.

My husband ordered the mini Oreo cookie cake and it was so moist and tasty. It was also just under $5 which was a good deal. I tasted a few bites and I was satisfied. He was super happy with his choice. So many tasty looking cakes and cookies and pastries as well as donuts and other sweet treats. They also serve breakfast and sandwich salad options and coffees. What a great spot that's been around for quite some time. They have inside and outside tables and shade outside too.

We ordered dessert to go- the flan and the waffle (I don't remember the name but it wasn't the taro waffle)!!

Was looking for a good pho spot in st Pete and heard about Special Pho and their fresh noodles…read more We ordered both the chicken pho 3/5 and beef pho 4/5 The broths were flavorful without being overly salty, I prefer the beef broth over chicken . Next time I would try to order chicken pho with the beef broth as it had more rich flavors . The chicken wings 5/5 were one of the surprises of the meal crispy, well-seasoned, and came with a sweet chili sauce. The fresh spring rolls 4/5 were exactly what I was craving peanut sauce was great. For drinks, I loved the mango smoothie 5/5 It tasted like real mango instead of syrup. I also tried the artichoke drink 5/5 which brought back memories because it's something you don't see everywhere as it's homemade with fresh artichoke and glass jelly and chia seeds, The pandan waffle 4/5 was warm, soft on the inside, slightly chewy on the outside, and not overly sweet. I asked for some syrup on the side to eat with the waffle The service was excellent. Everyone was friendly and attentive, even provided scissors for the kids pho and syrup on the side for waffle. Small touches like that really stand out.

As someone whose favorite Vietnamese dish is bun Bo hue, you should most definitely try this spot!…read moreI believe they're known for their bun Bo hue so only ordered that, can't speak on the other dishes they offer.

Was it good? Yes, however, for $19, the plate looked bare -- in comparison to other Vietnamese restaurants in the area. It would even look worth it if they even fluffed up the plate with more veggies. Also, the service was incredibly slow. They were nice folks, but slow. So I highly suggest if you're on a time crunch, go earlier, or go elsewhere. I have been told by my Vietnamese friends that their Bun Bo Hue is the best in the area so I would definitely come back to try that.
