Found The Brinehouse while walking around Safety Harbor, and am so glad I did! The service was friendly and professional - and the food was delicious. We had the poutine ( a first for me), mac and cheese (very creamy and sooo goooood), and I don't remember what other family members had, but we all raved about it. I did see the Olimpia salad on the menu and was tempted, I'll get it next time. I remembered Olimpia salad from a restaurant in Dunedin and was afraid it might not be as good, but now have read that the chef actually had worked in Dunedin and believe the salad may be the same. The ambiance was perfect, low key and sounds of happy people enjoying the food and drink. I live in Dunedin and enjoy the restaurants here, but will not drive over to Safety Harbor and go back to the The Brinehouse, well worth the drive! Great job all around!!!!!! read more

We stumbled across this place while we were walking on 3rd Friday street fair. We really like it! From service to food, everything was enjoyable! Our recommendations: Fried pickles Rosemary's baby cocktail: gin/champagne/pomegranete The corned beast sandwich: corned beef, slaw, bama sauce, marble bread (messy but sooo yummy!) Meat platter with ends and corned beef read more

Third Friday review Bellied up to the bar Gold rush classic for me We should try the wings- seems like they are special and brined - let's give it a go. We picked safe bourbon bbq- this was not good/ the spice so thick it just coated the mouth. Slight curry- smoked flavor that we were not pleased-no real sauce, just thick spices plus very expensive considering one night /wk it's only a $1 Thank goodness we ordered fries too. The service was without a smile, I think we bothered her. Our new friend at the bar said that's how she always is! Well, I guess it's not us!! Disappointed read more

It was so great to speak with Chef. His plating shows his art and the fact that all ingredients are fresh shows how much he cares. It's lovely to be in Safety Harbor at Brinehouse looking out the window. Fresh roses on every table. Plenty of seating. We were happy to get there early enough to have the only booth, but table seats are good too. read more

Somehow we've missed this gem until now! It's tucked away between a couple different restaurants but is by far my favorite restaurant in safety harbor now. The food has such great flavor and the menu has a wonderful variety. The staff is very friendly and they have an open kitchen concept. I can't wait to come back. Inside the ambiance is cozy and welcoming. The star of the show was the Gouda grits. You HAVE to get those when dining here! read more

Great atmosphere in downtown safety harbor. I thought parking would be difficult but there were spots on the side streets that was free. I ordered the bbq chicken with macaroni salad and cauliflower purées and it was so good! I usually am picky about my bbq sauce but this place had it soo good! It wasn't overly sweet which I like. I really enjoyed the chicken too. The meat was tender and full of flavor. For the sides: The cauliflower purée was a bit salty but still really good. The macaroni salad was pretty good too. My toddler really enjoyed that the best. Service was great and it wasn't too crowded so I really enjoyed my meal here! read more

We went in for Sunday brunch. The service was prompt. The restaurant was clean. The staff was really nice and went above and beyond to accommodate to our requests. They had nice menu options and quite the variety for a brunch. It also had a lot of brunch style drinks like mimosas, Bellinis, and bloody Marys, etc. We had the eggs benedict over a homemade biscuit that they modified to add salmon instead of Canadian bacon. It was absolutely wonderful and perfectly cooked. One of my friends had the steak and eggs which the steak was absolutely tender and delicious. It was a perfect brunch all the way around. The coffee was excellent! Definitely a place to go! Families welcome. Kid friendly options available. This is located in downtown Safety Harbor. After brunch, take a stroll through the quaint town and visit the many shops with a variety of styles. Perfect for a Sunday Funday event! read more

The food never disappoints!! Consistently over the top flavours with a chef that knows their stuff. We like to sit at the bar as Staci is always so friendly and makes great drinks. She has been there awhile and even points out new specials. We often order the Trifecta and split it. It has the choice of 3 types of smoked proteins. We love every thing on list and it's hard to pick 3. Al the sides are also very good. The Brussel sprouts and cheese grits are some of the best I've had. The entire restaurant is also just a nice local vibe. If you are in town try them out you won't be sorry. read more

This was my first visit here to the Brinehouse, so like with other places, I don't really know what to expect. My server was very polite and very knowledgeable of the menu, when I asked her for recommendations, she mentioned a few of her favorites, which really didn't catch my interest that much, but kudos to her for recommending such a wide assortment of meals. I settled for the cauliflower soup as an appetizer, which was a little spicy, but it was very, very good. The presentation was in my opinion top-notch. In fact, it was so good that I can make a meal of that in itself. My main dish was the swine and seafood, which was swimming in grits! Please don't get me wrong. The shrimp and the swine were really good the pork was crispy and very, very flavorful! The shrimp also had a good taste to it and was cooked thoroughly, but I can't get over the fact that it was swimming in grits even though the sauce they put on did have a good flavor. I definitely will go back again, but most definitely will not have the same thing over again, as there are many other options to choose from. Did I mention that , my server was very friendly and knowledgeable? read more

I was invited to join my fellow foodie friend to a Spanish Wine Dinner at The Brinehouse in November. I've been on and off sick since Thanksgiving so this review is a bit late. In any case, my husband is from Spain and I've traveled throughout Spain on many occasions for the last 15 years or so (I would say at least 10 times minimum). Needless to say, I made a point to eat all the different dishes in several regions of Spain with many foodie tours. With that said, I was very excited for this Spanish inspired dinner. I don't really drink alcohol anymore as a personal choice and health reasons, but will have some wine on occasion. Though the dishes were not traditional Spanish dishes, I was very impressed with the execution of their Spanish inspired menu. The dishes were quite unique, the flavors blew me away, and the wine pairing was on point. Reception Course: Croquetas de Cabrales First Course: Serrano Ham-Wrapped Quail Second Course: Bacala Third Course: Duck Paella Fourth Course: Creme Catalina The croquetas were frankly the best I've ever had. The Serrano Ham-wrapped Quail and Bacalao were unique and tasty. The duck breast and chorizo in the paella were nice touches, as I've probably had every different variety of paella in Spain except this. I don't even think I've ever seen this as an option. The only issue I had with this dish is that there should be a larger rice ratio with paella dishes. This was packed with duck meat, when I little would have gone a long way. Don't get me wrong. The flavors were amazing! Just less meat and more rice, please. Finally, the Crema Catalin was the perfect end to a fantastic dinner. It was the perfect combination of light and not to sweet with fresh fruit. As mentioned earlier, their wine pairings were perfect and accented each dish. See photo for menu. I highly recommend wine dinners at The Brinehouse. I can't wait to return and try more of the chef's unique creations. read more

This is a cute place with lots to offer! The first time I went was for a trivia night and it was a blast! They had themed food and drinks for the occasion which was such a nice touch! We had such a good time that we keep coming back. Service is always great, everyone is so friendly and welcomes cyou in as soon as you walk through the door. The food is delicious, never any complaints. I highly recommend the poutine!! Everything is portioned well so you will either leave satisfied or with left overs. The drinks are very tasty as well, with lots of options and specials. They always have something new to try depending on the theme, season, or holiday, so you can never get bored with the menu! It's also very reasonably priced and worth the drive from Tampa! read more

Easily one of the top brunch spots on Main Street! Came here for a birthday event and loved the selection of breakfast favorites, creative cocktails and of course mimosas. I went with the indulgent biscuits and gravy. They were light, fluffy and moist in a creamy gravy that was sprinkled with cubes of pork belly. It came with a nice helping of eggs too. I think you'd certainly be able to split this with someone and get something sweet on the side. Everyone enjoyed their food and despite our large party it was fast and without any hiccups. We'll be back! read more

My husband and I always enjoy sitting at the bar having a drink with appetizers. They have the best Brussels sprouts. We always order them. The food is very tasty. Everything we've ordered has always been good. Service is quick. The waitresses are friendly. You can sit inside or out. I like to sit inside, so i can watch sports. They have a couple TV's at the bar. There's not a big selection of beers. read more

I enjoyed the excellent meats, full of robust flavors, served hot and fresh to your table right from the visibly flaming grill. The chicken wing platter is plentiful and juicy on the inside. A highlight for our group was the crisp but tender pork belly. I ordered the Cobb salad with chicken and was equally delighted with the mini, crunchy pork belly croutons. The portions here are huge, and we all asked for to-go containers. Don't skip the seasonal dessert jar, as it was a treat. Vegetarian options are available too, like other salads and the fried pickle platter. The end to a satisfyingly rich and memorable dinner for me was the mango and lychee bread pudding. A sweet mix of a familiar dessert with a tropical twist. Great drink options to too, like a Two Chick's Paloma in a beautifully feminine can. Be sure to visit The Brinehouse on an empty stomach and make way for incredible flavor. read more

Great restaurant in Safety Harbor. The good news about this restaurant is on a Sunday for lunch there was a lot of parking around it. I'm always worried about Safety Harbor and parking, but this place seemed to be surrounded by parking lots/parking. I was nervous on a Sunday that it would be packed, but at noon we were the first table (there were people at the bar), by about 12:30 there were more parties, but still tons of seating. On Sunday they only serve the brunch menu, but there's still non brunchy stuff on it. I got the Green Goddess Salad, which is new. I thought it was good, but not great. The avocado tasted a little too ripe (extra soft) and they had so much dressing on it. Overall it is a solid salad, although I'm surprised that without protein it is $16. That's a little on the pricier side. My friend got an eggs benedict and it was huge. That was definitely worth the price. It was a lot of carbs though (the biscuit it came on was huge) so she took a lot of it home. Service was prompt and super friendly. The atmosphere is cheery and bright. I liked this place and will definitely come back. read more

Spare of the moment dinner ( 02/13/25),there were 3 of us. We all had the Chicken wings( Thursday special.. buck each) can't go wrong. Anyway they are exceptionally tender, juicy and delicious. Many varieties of flavors bourbon bbq, guava grapefruit bbq, bama white bb to name a few. They are totally different from other restaurants ( not dry or crunchy or over cooked) . I can't recommend them enough. Also please note this restaurant is locally owned and operated.. plus in itself. Kudos to the cook, staff and of course the owners . I truly appreciate/ recommend this restaurant. read more

Whenever we spend the day enjoying the classes and spa amenities at Safety Harbor Resort and Spa, we walk the easy block or two over to The Brinehouse for lunch. We happened upon this delicious little gem once, and that's all it took to ensure that we'll never miss a chance to visit again. If you order nothing else from them, get the Sidewinder Fries. They are part curly fry, part steak fry, and entirely delicious and unforgettable. On this visit, I paired my order of fries with the Olimpia Chop Salad (minus the capicola to make it vegetarian). This salad is so tasty and even has shell pasta in it. Sounds weird but tastes amazing! We opted to sit outside on this visit because there was a beautiful breeze in the air today. It was so nice to people watch (let's be honest, I just coo at all of the adorable dogs that walk by) and enjoy time with my friends over a delicious meal! The service couldn't be friendlier or more attentive. In fact, the first time we ever happened across this restaurant was because a friendly server came outside and greeted us with some menus to look at when she saw us glance inside, and we decided to try it on a whim. I'm so glad that we did! And we'll do it again and again. read more

Brinehouse is a very cute restaurant in the heart of Safety Harbor. The service was just right. The food was out of this world. I had the salmon quiche, grits, and fruit salad.

Never ever do I leave the Brinehouse disappointed! Brinehouse is situated on the south side of Main Street in downtown Safety Harbor. The dining room is light and airy with a full bar and solid tap list. The sandwiches, flatbreads, and appetizers are all incredible, but the best of the best (in my opinion) is the Feast. Choose 2, 3 or 4 meats, with 2 sides (I prefer tri-tip and pork belly), pair it with an IPA and enjoy! read more

Not the biggest fan, though I'm not a huge of brine style meats. There was too much sauce on everything

Wow. This restaurant has flown under my radar for a while. I had a coupon and went here when I was in the neighborhood. The ambiance was typical 21st century fashionable. It would have been too loud if I went at a crowded time of day. My server was delightful. She was happy to discuss choices with me and even brought a task of the bean soup that I was debating. Usually a taste is enough for me, but I ordered a bowl. Of Bean Soup! The flavor was on point with plenty of porky tidbits. It came with kind of a cornmeal mush/muffin thing that didn't add much, but I appreciated the try. I chose The Shrimp and the Swine for my main course. Totally satisfying. Properly cooked grits, properly cooked shrimp with greens, tomatoes, and pork belly. The server happily put the "citrus creole sauce" on the side for me since I'm not a spicy fan. A little went a long way. I was happy to have it on the side. I look forward to returning. read more

We were just passing by safety harbor and knew they always had good restaurants. We decided to try the Brinehouse. It's a casual clean nice place. Service was so friendly and helpful. We started with the creamy broccolini soup . It was delicious. It even had a little fried broccoli I on the side. My wife got the chicken salad with cut fresh chicken. It was good also. I had the Texas hot chicken sandwich. It was huge and no too hot. But the Brussel sprouts on the side OMG the best ever. So happy we stopped by . Great hidden gem. read more

When we visited Safety Harbor for my favorite fried chicken, the restaurant we frequent was unexpected close. We randomly decided to eat here instead. They have a large dining room, plus tables outdoor. Service is very nice and the menu has a lot of interesting items. As the name suggested, brining and smoking is their specialty (this place is opened by the owners of The Dunedin Smokehouse). The maple bourbon brined chicken wings are large in size, and the sauce adheres well to the wings. We enjoyed them so much we ordered another one. Cherry pepper is my favorite sauce. Shrimp and the Swine is like a fancy upgrade of shrimp and grits, with crispy bacon and smoked gouda grits. I am happy we ordered it for sharing though, I suspect that the flavors may overwhelm if I were to eat one on my own. They also have a good selection of wine, beer and cocktails as well. read more

Such a great spot to check out! We came for brunch after a local market on Main Street but dinner also sounds great! They had both indoor and outdoor seating. I loved that they had both hightop tables and low tables, plus a bar. I started off with the Honey Pear White Sangria! I love that they had both red and white sangrias! It was delicious! Light and refreshing! For brunch I had the BH Biscuits & Gravy! Perfection! It comes with a pork belly gravy and two fried eggs over homemade biscuits! This was phenomenal! Our waiter was super helpful and friendly. He checked on us often and helped with any questions we had. Would definitely come back! read more

Why 5? Red sangria, beer and a lemonade. Wonderful staff and service and amazing food. The newly twice the size, double the fun place is amazing. Not only do you see the chef's cooking up a storm, you are welcome here both inside and outside on the sidewalk. It was a cool night so we opted to sit outside to do a little people watching of SH and also enjoy some beverages. Meat items were great, mac and cheese was also amazing. If you're into BBQ-like food and want something that is home made tasting with the charm of downtown Safety Harbor, be sure to give this one a shot. On our list of go-to places for sure! read more

Great suggestion on the food and didn't disappoint! Sooo I started with the local blonde ale! Crisp and refreshing smooth at the finish. That was the beer btw. The wings were grilled to perfection the seasoning and that special brine makes magic! We had the house burbon bbq and the chilly raspberry sauce! POW explosion of flavor in your pallet!
