We sat ourselves at a table nearest a window. The place is dimly lit. We placed our order at the bar. We did not wait long for our meal. We each had the Cesar Salad with Bacon bits and a glass of red wine. The salad was a generous portion, fresh and crisp with just the right amount of housemade dressing. We each ate half of the salad and took the remaining home. The place was quiet with only one other table seated. We were able to converse with each other in a relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. It was a most pleasant evening. I recommend Gavaghans and plan to return on a weekend when the place might have a more livelier vibe.

I think this is our third visit here, over the years. Usually, we're here with a big group. This time, it was just us and we were tucked into a cozy and comfy corner. Our server was so warm, kind and welcoming. I'm so sorry I didn't get his name (this was a Tuesday morning, in June 2026, around 8am). In addition to great service, the breakfast menu is full of good choices. My friend had the Belgian waffle and raved about it. I was going to go with the banana French toast, but switched to savory at the last second. The Greek omelette was cooked to perfection (not greasy! not runny!) and very filling. I chose the hash browns and wheat toast as sides and enjoyed them, too. This really is a good spot-casual, clean, colorful, kind of soothing and good value for money. I'm looking forward to our next visit-and trying the French toast! (and hitting the nearby slots)

The space feels alive--music low enough for conversation, but high enough to keep the energy fun. Now, the food. Whoever's in that kitchen clearly cares about their craft. Every bite of my meal felt intentional--the kind of cooking that tells you someone's actually proud of what they plate. The texture, the seasoning, that balance of savory heat and crisp freshness--it's the kind of food that makes you look around the table just to say, "Yo, are you tasting this too?" The staff deserves a shoutout, too. Friendly without being fake, attentive without hovering. They made me feel like a regular even though it was my first visit. If you're the kind of person who loves discovering those local gems where passion meets comfort food, this is it. St. Pete's got plenty of spots to eat, but The Ball Joint is one of the rare ones you remember. Go to there website: https://www.wewantballs.com/ Truly amazing food experience!!

Great local business if you love hot chicken…read more I've been wanting to try this place out for ages, but it's so specific (only chicken!) that I usually cannot convince my family to go. But today, I decided to do a Costco run and forego their food court, and try out Crossroad Hot Chicken by myself. I ordered online before heading over. Super easy. Food was ready 5 minutes before I got there and packed up well. I got the 3 piece chicken tenders, x-hot, with a side of the greens. The tenders were more like half a chicken breast each. Huge. Very succulent chicken, not dry at all. They were crispy and very spicy. I'm part Thai. After a few bites, I was wishing that I had ordered the mac and cheese instead to help offset the spice, but I persevered. The greens were good, very smoky tasting, but they were overwhelmed by the spicy chicken, so I only recommend them if you get the mild or medium chicken. Really nice staff at the restaurant. While I got my food to go, the sitting area seemed nice and comfortable for a casual meal.

We got the tenders with hot seasoning, chicken sandwich with medium spice, wedge basket with mild, Mac and cheese, and baked beans. Every single item was made with love and seasoned perfectly and delicious. The chicken was beyond crispy and maintained the same crispiness level for over 30 minutes. Top 2 chicken places we've ever been to. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere and Vincent was great to talk with and super nice. Would we go back here while on vacation? Yes, I'd probably catch a flight down here for that alone.

I ordered the turkey, mac n cheese, string beans, and djon djon plate, and my husband got the jambalaya plate. And we got two drinks: cherry lemonade and fruit punch. 0/10. The turkey tasted old, the pickles were spoiled, the rice was disgusting, the mac n cheese tasted like boxed Velveeta mac and cheese with onion powder and garlic powder... no salt. My husband took a few bites from his food and said it just tasted like rice and shrimp, no flavor whatsoever. I'm convinced these people get paid to review this place. Never again! Edited response after reading the owner response: Instead of the owner taking ownership of their nasty food, they want to bd combative in the response left under my post. Someone else calls out the food being tasteless and gets asked to come back to make it right. My opinion on the food IS MY OPINION. I don't ever write reviews for people, but that I had too. WE COULDNT EVEN EAT THE FOOD, so we tossed it out when we got home and had to buy food elsewhere. It was unacceptable. We are not from Orlando, we are out of towners, so how can we come back??? The food is trash and that's that and you pay for reviews PERIOD! If it weren't paid it would be better. I'm not the only one saying the food is nasty. Accept the fact and be better. Claiming to come back and speak to you as if one can speak to an owner behind a window... please. I still stand ten toes on my review! They have zero decorum, piss poor attitudes and customer service. I should have called the health department and report them for serving Poor quality food Since they want to be nasty to people who don't leave them positive reviews.
