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.

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!

We had planned on an outdoor venue for a birthday celebration and got an unexpected rain storm, so made a last minute change and everyone was so happy that we did. Our table was ready and our waitress, Penny, couldn't have been more accommodating. She was cheerful, energetic and put up with so many substitutions on the menu. Our meals ranged from breakfast orders of French toast and omelets, to Ruben's, and salads. Three of the Cobb salads had very different substitutions, but all came out exact! The dressings were in little bowls on the side and too plentiful. I'm gluten free, so substituted the crispy chicken for grilled. The salad was huge, had olives several types of cheese, a hard boiled egg and fresh cucumbers and tomatoes. There so much chicken, and it was cooked perfectly, Highly recommend giving this gem your business. This isn't the first time I've had lunch here, and won't be the last.
