Stopped for lunch. We had the Monkey Balls. Very good. I had the Rueben Grouper also good but saucy. Staff was friendly. My wife had a Banana Monkey and her entree. Plus two beers. $126 with tip. This place is upstairs with outdoor seating looking at the ocean. It's kinda dated and a big nod to the Baltimore Ravens with carpet in the stairs to match. read more

The Brass Monkey - Rueben Grouper $26. - New American Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

My grandfather says that when you're visiting family on Pass-a-Grille it's a right of passage to take a jaunt to The Brass Monkey. My aunt disagrees. She says (and again, this is just her opinion) that The Brass Monkey is, well, subpar. Unfortunately for team grandfather, she was right. The Brass Monkey was a bit of a mess when we went. They seemed to be understaffed, and it took forever for us to get our drink and food orders put in. The food took ages to come out, and when it finally did we discovered that my mom's order hadn't been put in. They rushed her order but even then we were all already finished eating by the time it arrived. It was also super loud inside, to the point that most of us couldn't hear the three octogenarians among us. The food itself was good (my reuben is pictured) but in my opinion pretty overpriced for the casualness of the place and the general quality. Much like my Aunt, I don't know if I'll return. read more

The Brass Monkey - Crab Cake Reuben - New American Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

We got a recommendation to try this place. Our actual server was really nice, but everyone else was kinda rude. She gave a Good recommendation on the raspberry frozen drink, and everything was very tasty. The artichoke dip was untraditional. Very light and refreshing, but not expected. The Caesar salad was great, so well dressed. Medium rare tuna was amazing. Huge tuna steak cooked perfect and well seasoned. Fun patio. But Kinda dirty. The host stand was confusing and we were ignored for a bit when we arrived. Also, when on the patio, they turned the lights off on us. I guess that was their way of saying we should leave. read more

The Brass Monkey - Jumbo Fried Shrimp - New American Near Me - St. Pete Beach, Florida

First off it's a second floor restaurant and the elevator is not working, for how long who knows. So if you have mobility issues or need ADA compliance this may be an issue. Big bar area and indoor seating but the outdoor patio with the view of the Gulf is the place to be. Nice menu lots of choices and drinks so take your time before you order. Service was good as were the drinks. The cheese steak was good as were the French fries and gravy. They come with chips but they are a bag of Lays chips, kind of not classy at all. Least they could have opened them and put on the plate. The ahi tuna was a nice size and cooked well but smothered in an Asian sauce obliterated the taste of the tuna. The coleslaw was bland and the side salad was decent. Not a deal breaker but next time we'll order some different items see how they pan out. read more

Stopped by The Brass Monkey on a Sunday afternoon in PAG to watch a little football and grab some food. Place is always lively with all sorts of football fans, especially Ravens. They have quite a few things on their menu and all we have tried are very good. Menu definitely lean towards dishes with a crab base. This time we tried a pizza and a turkey Reuben sandwich and both were phenomenal. Service at the bar is always top-notch and the bartenders and wait staff are extremely friendly and outgoing. Just an all-around great atmosphere and experience every time we go. And the location on the beach with the views of the Gulf are hard to beat! read more

Stopped here for lunch. Quick stop across the street from the beach. Not too busy during the week. Took a bit to order and receive the food. Ordered the turkey club. Sadly didn't have much to it. Thin pieces of turkey, bacon was pretty hard. Crab dip was decent - not much artichoke to it. read more

The Brass Monkey is a fantastic beachfront American restaurant in beautiful Pass a Grille! My friend's tuna sandwhich was the knockout! The portion of tuna was commendable, and it tasted so good- packed with flavor! My chicken salad wrap was amazing, too! The chicken salad was flavorful, tender and smooth with an impressive chicken:wrap ratio. The view on the outdoor patio is mesmerizing- we loved watching the sunset while we finished dinner. The service was equally fantastic, our waitress was upbeat, friendly and attentive. read more

Finally made our way down to Pass-a-Grille beach and to this piece of Maryland here in Florida. Although it was chilly we chose to dine outside to enjoy the views of the beach and gulf. Service was good and prompt. Worked our way around the menu and liked everything we tried. Suggest getting something with Crab Dip as it was quite good. If you're sensitive to weather there is an inside section with more than a few tables and a bar as well. Didn't take any photos inside but if you're from Maryland you will certainly feel at home. We will be back read more

I ate at Brass Monkey twice on a recent girls beach trip and there were very good and not so good things. Great - we showed up 15 minutes before the kitchen closed (longggg travel day) and they were so friendly and accommodating. Here are the food items that are very good and consistent - stuffed mushrooms, crab flatbread, French fries with Old Bay, white fish dip, and fancy fries (fried green beans). Not so good food - both times someone in my group ordered the crab cakes they were incredibly fishy and not good. My friends ordered them days apart and one was the mini crab cakes app and the other was the meal. The first time, we mentioned the fishy taste and the server was like "Oh, that's too bad" and didn't offer to refund them or get us something else. We didn't say anything the second time. Also, the jumbo steamed shrimp with Old Bay and onions were overcooked and tough. We didn't finish them either. read more

Nice beach spot if you're looking to go into a restaurant and sit rather than eat at the beachside cafe. Themed out in Baltimore Ravens (I think?) and all bar grille atmosphere. Crab everything was delicious and really generous portions. The service was friendly but a little slow. Which is probably okay for a laid back beach spot. If you're looking to get out of the sun and grab a good meal, I definitely recommend. read more

My friends are in town from Texas and we wanted to see each other. We decided to go over to Pass-A-Grille and have dinner. I got the appetizer stuffed mushrooms with lump crab meat and it was very good with the squeeze of lemon. My lemon pepper grouper sandwich was tasty. Nice views of the beach. You do have to climb the stairs to get to the restaurant. There is an elevator but you have to call the phone number and make sure someone opens the door for you. The staff is good. Go check out Brass Monkey and then, head to the beach. read more

Great spot for live music along the beach, Good environment and typical beach drinks at a reasonable price.

The monkey Balls are the real deal! Little MD crab cakes. The frosty drinks are legit as well. Can't go wrong with the grouper sandwiches or the raven wings either. Super cool finding a Maryland bar in St Pete beach! read more

1 Star (because 0 isn't an option) I rarely leave reviews, but our experience at Brass Monkey in Pass-a-Grille, FL was absolutely unacceptable on every level. To start, there were shells in our crab cakes--not just a tiny piece, but crunchy, painful-to-bite-into shells that made the dish inedible. As if that weren't enough, my young niece found a piece of plastic in her drink, and I found plastic in my salad. That's TWO different dishes containing plastic--clearly a sign of major negligence in the kitchen. We calmly brought this to the attention of the manager, expecting at least an apology or a professional response. Instead, we were met with aggression and blatant rudeness. The manager was dismissive, defensive, and made us feel like we were the problem for daring to point out health and safety concerns. To make matters worse, a table near us made a homophobic comment toward my sister, loud enough for us to hear. Not only was it offensive and disgusting, but no staff member stepped in or addressed it, despite being well aware of what was said. This complete disregard for creating a safe and respectful environment speaks volumes about the values of this establishment. Do not go to Brass Monkey if you care about basic food safety, respectful service, or human decency. We left feeling disrespected, disgusted, and deeply disappointed. There are plenty of other places in Pass-a-Grille that serve good food and treat their customers with kindness--this is not one of them. read more

Bartender was great working his butt off. But the music was insanely loud making the people next to us yell at the top of their lungs just so the person next to them could hear. We couldn't wait to leave read more

As an out of town visitor I went to this restaurant with my friend and her family on Monday evening after spending the day at the beach. My friend and her husband chose this restaurant for their pre teen who is a Baltimore Ravens fan and thought he would get a kick out of the decor, which I think he did. The highlight of the restaurant is the physical location, as it has breathtaking waterfront views, but in my opinion that the most complementary I can be about the dining experience. We were a party of six and were seated outside. If my memory serves me correctly, our servers name was Madison and let's just say that she was having a rough shift! The table asked for a round of waters with lemon, she forgot the lemons, no biggie the first time, but we had to ask a second time. I opted to have my check separate from the family I was with-I ordered the stuffed shrimp which came with two sides and a crab pretzel as an appetizer. She was able to answer my questions about the size/quantity of shrimp. I thought it was priced high but was really wanting seafood and shrimp stuffed with crab, I figured, how could I go wrong? I also wanted some crabs and the crab pretzel sounded amazing and figured I would share it with others at the table. Well the pretzel was decent, but over priced in my opinion. I ordered some sort of boiled potatoes and a salad with my shrimp. She brought the salad first and I must admit was bummed that they didn't have Italian dressing on the menu, so I ended up with oil and vinegar. I felt bad for the poor girl when she brought the oil and vinegar one of the bottles fell and the topper came off spilling on to the table. She was super apologetic and seemed almost embarrassed. It think we all felt bad for her and expressed empathy and told her not to worry, it was ok and accidents happen. As for the food the salad was nothing special, the potatoes were blah and I was not impressed with the stuffed shrimp, the shrimp itself was tough. I only ate one shrimp and my friend eat the second and she was very happy with it, I'm just glad it didn't go to waste and someone enjoyed it. The server also spilled some water at some point as well. My friend was happy with the pricing for herself and her family-the 5 of them got out of there with very reasonably priced burgers, a pizza, and a few orders of loaded fries(which I sampled and enjoyed) while my food cost $50+ and in my opinion was not worth the money. This is not a place I have any interest in returning to unless I am maybe sitting outside staring at the water sipping on an alcoholic beverage. I hate that I couldn't rate yall higher but my experience fell flat due to pricing, food quality and a poor server that was having a tough day. read more

I'm born and raised in Maryland so I had high hopes for this place. Unfortunately it was disappointing. We went upstairs and were seated immediately outside. Great views of the beach. Our waitress was young and not friendly. She seemed rushed whenever she stopped by and like we were a bother almost. She would sometimes walk by without checking on our drinks. I was curious about the crab dip. I had seen several pictures online and was not sure if it came with crackers or bread or what kind of crackers. When I asked our waitress what kind of crackers, her reply was "round." I wasn't sure if it came with wheat, butter, poppyseed, or another kind. So round was not the answer I was looking for given I didn't ask what shape. The crab dip was mediocre at best. Very little crab in the dip. Would definitely not come back or ever recommend. read more

My wife had French onion soup... They did a fantastic job on that. I got the crab cake and it was very good. I like lump crabcake. I don't like when it is full of breading. This definitely was not full of breading. Really my only complaint is that this is a ravens hangout since they stole our Cleveland Browns years ago. Lol. read more

Overpriced food that comes out cold with hair in it. May I say it was a total disappointment. Would not recommend it.

Very slow service. Waited for an hour to receive food. Dirty and smelled. Will not return
