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!!

There is outdoor seating as well however. The drinks were all great and I wish I could remember what they were, but the bartender did a great job and they were all delicious with generous pours. I do remember we tried the Bad Bunny and the Paloma, but I ended up switching to regular margaritas which were well done. I docked 1 star for food simply because the menu is pretty small, but I loved the Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich and my dinner date liked their salad. I'd definitely come back again and just hope that maybe the menu rotates or gets updated regularly.

Well done. I really…read moreenjoy this place. Like a lot a lot. I mean come on. Look at the spread. My friends are frequent flyers here and I was so lucky to tag along. These guys are seasoned pro's and based off the style of how we ordered, it showed. The food was unreal, a wide variety of dishes all delivering to the top mark. Handhelds, fork and knife and even some spoons were involved for this meal. I loved it. I sat outside and it felt great. Tons of fans, a good vibe, I felt like I was on a lil vacation. It felt like I should have been eating what I was, where I was. Such a good experience. Such good food and even better company. Come on down, don't be a fool. This place kicks.

We love the food and beer at The Burg Bar & Grill west of downtown St. Pete FL!…read more We have previously enjoyed their well-made Chicago Dogs and craft beer. This time (Apr 2026) we started with a creamily delicious ice-cold nitro beer. It was Milk Bone stout, locally crafted, toffee-flavored and lightly sweet from lactose. Pinellas Ale Works says it's almost a cafe con leche :-). It looks like they serve a larger pour of nitro-Guinness, if you like. Y'know, small nitro bubbles (around 25% to 30% CO2) create a smooth mouth-feel and, to me, seem much easier to imbibe than most beers' carbonation (100% CO2). Many places don't put in the extra equipment to serve nitro beers, so Thank You to The Burg! Their eat-in special is different every weekday. On this Wednesday (Apr 2026), it was $2 off their Cuban. Thin tender flavorful ham, pork, and salami, lightly bite-y Swiss cheese, and bright tart pickles, with plain yellow mustard & mayo. All pressed into hot bread. Perfectly savory and delicious! Except ... It wasnt Cuban bread, or any crusty bread, it was a hoagie roll :-( The bread wasnt even toasted! Hey! Mostly-excellent Burg, This is Tampa Bay, home of Cuban sandwiches! Do it right! Dunno if it was just an off-day bread-wise? My nearly-perfect Burg, please tweak this one thing. Yet they still earned that 5th star with their freshly hand-made very good lightly-seasoned crispy crispy Burg chips. We live for crunch! And you can upgrade the side to black-beans and rice, so, yeah, on target :-) And they let us go slightly off-menu with a BLT, which on the menu is part of a soup and sandwich combo. Lots of hot thin crispy bacon, sweet fresh tomatoes and lettuce, on lightly toasted bread. Very satisfying. The Burg Bar & Grill is pleasantly relaxed with a nicer-than-divey feel. The staff is friendly, attentive, and quick with that cold cold beer! The food is only a Cuban-roll away from Perfect :-)

They do not always have their own cider. Sometimes they partner with a local business. Staff is super friendly. Every time we've come in here bartenders are always more than happy to chitchat with you. Share stories of the beer how it was crafted and brewed and we find most of the people who are in here are also really friendly as well. Because it is located on one of the main drags in Saint Pete - parking can be a challenge. They do have parking behind the building. It is incredibly limited and sometimes especially towards the evenings, finding parking in the street can be hard as well. I had their dry Irish cider and really enjoyed it. It definitely is on the dry side, but it was good. I did try their strawberry dry cider. It wasn't bad but when I think of strawberry cider, I want to taste the strawberry and I found that it was just a little bit light for my pallet. My husband really enjoyed the Al Czervik. It's a nice, toasty Czech dark lager.

Great experience with a twist!…read more Food 8.0 Vibe 8.9 Service 8.7 Overall 8.4 This place definitely has his own theme and vibe and it sticks to it. A straightforward menu gives a decent variety and the chef delivered on the flavor. We had the egg Benedict the Gudda grits, and the (not so) French toast. Overall, the food was delicious, but I was extremely disappointed with the "French toast" for some reason, the chef opted for not doing an egg/milk bath for their French toast, which to me is a grave mistake, who wants to dry French toast? This liberty could be excused, and tolerable for the sake of creativity and innovation, IF it was openly, shared on the menu, or by the server. However, this came to a COMPLETE surprise to me AFTER ordering and receiving it. I've never had DRY French toast, nor do I ever wish to again despite the tasty toppings and well executed cinnamon butter cream, it was still not an enjoyable experience, especially if you're expecting classic French toast. That said the eggs Benedict was phenomenal. The pork is perfectly cooked. The biscuits are light and fluffy. And the sauce was immaculate. The Gudda grits surprise me while not being creamy in the same way of grit, I've had in the past, these retained their grit structure, but it kind of melted in your mouth, providing that creamy texture and they add chopped bacon and a sweet I would guess type of reduction in just the right amount to balance the flavor of the Gudda. I do wish they had sausage and hash browns. But it's not that kind of place. My last complaint would be in the potatoes that come with the Benedict. Whatever other option, they have picked those get anything, but those ours came undercooked, and they refried them for us, and they still were just below average which for a place like this. I expected more. Overall, not a bad place. The coffee was phenomenal. I had a dirty Matcha, and it was perfectly executed. Prices aren't terrible for what you'd expect from downtown St Pete at a fancy place, so I was happy. Service was good and friendly. After I expressed my dissatisfaction with the French toast, the manager came over and offered his apologies and remove the item from my bill, even offered to bring us something else, and to have a beverage to go to make up for it. However, I was at the end of our mail and I was ready to get going with the rest of my day, so I said thank you and we departed. Overall, I will not come back for French toast but that eggs Benedict. I would definitely come back and try something else as well. Give it a shot. Just DONT get the French toast. If you like normal French toast.

We wanted to eat something that would be filling, comforting, grab a few drinks but not necessarily need a whole sit down experience. So we stumbled upon Casita Taqueria. Thanks to the other awesome reviews, we knew this was the place to go! It literally feels like a casita when you walk in. They have lots of outdoor seating, picnic tables and such. Inside had a bit less seating (especially when it's raining and most of the people want to stay indoors). Either way, we found a table for 5 in no time. The ordering is easy, you go up to the register, order what you want and then they bring the food to you. No servers no waiters just easy. Highly recommend ordering a pitcher of margarita, we got the spicy jalapeño one and it was so refreshing! The food was delicious, freshly made, quick, and perfect for a lunch break. We got the tempeh nachos, rice and beans bowl, chips guac and salsa plus everything else the rest of our table got. We left full and our hearts happy! The ONLY THING I wish I would see was a super spicy house sauce. Which btw, they have a little fridge of their house made sauces for you to grab and enjoy. I just WISH there was a spicy one, the sweet one was pretty good!

**** Review 170 ****…read more This place has become a regular for me and it's all because of the wings. They are THE BEST wings in St. Pete hands down! Crispy, juicy, tender, saucy deliciousness. If you just want some of the best wings you've ever had then you need to stop by. But, wings is just one of the items that are great. Their burgers are second to none! So many options, with so many toppings. Burgers are HUGE, juicy, well seasoned. Everything from tenders to peanut butter on a burger....you have to try it! Hot dogs are good too, they're fried so you get a nice crisp snap with every bite. Their sides are always delicious and great beer selection. And everything is reasonably priced for being in St Pete. This place is narrow, but long with seating in the back for larger parties, so it can get crowded. Staff is always really nice and ready to give you recommendations. If you're looking for a great night of wings, burgers and beers with your friends then this is your place.

The workers knew exactly what they were doing and even in busy time of the market they were quick to buss tables, get ordered items to customers fast and the bathroom was pristinely clean. The bumping A/C provided instant relief as we claimed the stools by the bar. My friends and I quickly agreed, this place is an absolute gem. So gorgeously decorated and the drinks, the mocktails, the pastry items, the food were beautiful and delicious. It really appeared they did everything well here.

For apps we ordered the yellow tail tuna tartar , and then venison carpaccio, both were delicious. I especially loved the carpaccio tho. For our entrees we ordered the rib eye and broccolini. The rib eye in my opinion (and I eat alot of them) was very over priced for what it was. Don't get me wrong, it was good, but could have used more seasoning and it was very dense for a rib eye. It was not to the quality of what we expected. Would come back here for drinks and appetizers, but with their menu being limited and overly priced, I'm not sure I'd plan another dinner here.
