My friends and I went to The Toasted Monkey for dinner after spending the day at St. Pete Beach, and the overall experience was really nice. The view from the upstairs bar was great. We got to watch an amazing sunset, which was definitely the highlight. The food took a little longer than expected to come out, but it was tasty and reasonably priced. I ordered blackened grouper tacos and my friends ordered burgers. We all enjoyed our plates. The service was good and the staff was friendly. Parking is free, which is a plus, but it is pretty limited, so that's something to keep in mind. Overall, a solid spot with a great vibe. read more

Let me begin this by stating we just stopped in and had a beer and then left. We used to come to this location all the time when it was known as crab daddies. it has been several years since we've been back here. We like this location because it does have a rooftop patio where you can sit and watch the inlet. They also have a large outdoor seating area that is covered. When we got there on Friday around three in the afternoon, it was already pretty busy with a very senior crowd. We chose to order a couple of beers and just sat at one of the tables outside. From what we observed, the team all seem pretty friendly and when we did ask if they had bottles of water, they did make the effort to see if they could find any on property. Unfortunately, the one location they looked that they thought they would be, and they didn't have them- at that point we were just ready to keep moving on with our day so let them know it was fine and we appreciated the attempt. read more

Come for the views, be blown away by the food. We had a lovely Sunday upstairs watching the world go by while enjoying the wonderful Asian lettuce wraps. The sauce was yummy and I'm regretting not getting a second order. Service was wonderful! Excited to go back. read more

Food- honestly a pretty good amount of seafood. Was a little nervous to try since there was no photos on yelp of this but was pleasantly surprised with how much seafood is on it. It didn't mention Parmesan on the menu so that was also a pleasant surprise. It was good just not excellent but it is a bar so don't expect crazy restaurant experience Service- nice waitress but nothing super attentive to add to the experience Ambiance-cute, went on a weeknight and it was a bit of an older crowd but think it'd be great for families even. Sit on the second floor if you don't want too loud or music Parking- EASY BUT I got there around 630pm on a weeknight. Likely a lot more difficult on the weekend. Parking on street apparently free after 8pm but they do also have two lots. read more

Nice place for drinks and food. This has the look and feel of a locals place, and the view of the water is really nice. Went in on a Tuesday and heard some nice music playing and enjoyed some great drinks and food. Had the peel and eat shrimp, and to my delight, the shrimp were deveined and very easy to peel. Wife ordered majo majo tacos with firecracker sauce, and she enjoyed them. Margarita and painkiller drinks were in order, and both were made top notch. read more

Fun atmosphere. Good solid bar food. Great apps. Fun bands play there. Good frozen drinks.

This place had cool open seating outside and live music. Staff was super friendly. Menu had an extensive variety. Service was also quick. Zucchini fries and marinara were divinely delicious and the thai crunch bowl had such good crispy chicken on it. Amazing. My friend got the quesadilla and enjoyed it and we both loved the mac and cheese. read more

Great little spot for dinner. Indoor and outdoor seating with several bar areas and love music. This place got packed really early,, but we were able to get a table upstairs after a short wait. The food was really good, we all enjoyed our meals (I got tacos as usual). Only complaint I have is that as I was reaching over the table to grab a zucchini fritter from my dining partner, the assistant server came up and set my food down underneath my arm, to avoid hitting his arm I ended up dropping the fritter (onto my purse, loaded with marinara sauce) and knocking my drink all over the table. He just walked away without acknowledging anything and I was really annoyed but did not say anything to my server...not her fault, she was GREAT. Her name was Anika I believe. We ordered what I call fru-fru (sweet) alcoholic beverages, and they were kind of weak. The live entertainment was pretty good and there was a massive crowd having a great time. They played 80's rock music. Parking can be a challenge on the weekends. We parking about two blocks away in a hotel lot, it was about $18 for 4 hours. read more

What a fantastic spot for a small family gathering. All 8 of us were satisfied with our meals and appreciated the good service. Our food all came out at the same time and was fresh and warm. Server attended to our needs in a timely manner. The music was well liked by our crew adding to our dining experience. Casual eating experience with good tunes, good food and good prices. Parking easy. read more

I love this place!!!! It's very simple but the food is excellent, Jennah is the best bartender ever. She is attentive, fast, funny, and a hard worker! i highly recommend the cuban, the bread is to die for. i don't like shrimp but jennah put me on the peel & eat shrimp. we spent a lot of time of here in a short span of 5 days and i will be telling my friends about this spot if they come to st pete!!! vibe is chill and cozy! mix of a outside dive bar with a vacation spot!! thanks jennah and kitchen staff!!! read more

Lots of seating choices. Inside with a/c, outsode ground level, or outside and upstairs so you can see the water. We've seen dolphins while eating here in the evening! I believe this menu has something for everyone. Our server was patient, friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered a taco salad with taco beef. I always like it when it comes in the crunchy edible bowl! It was a nice sized portion with plenty of meat and toppings. The lettuce was even good without a lot of the what I call "spine" pieces. Wifey ordered fish tacos. Not her usual order, but she was very happy she did. Perfectly cooked filets of mahi mahi on each taco with just the right amount of toppings and sauce. She had it with a side of rice and beans which were flavorful and good as well. read more

My visit to tasted monkey was overall great! To service, wait time and taste of food! We got the coconut shrimp as an appetizer it was so good!! 5/5 especially the sweet chili sauce is comes with. We also got the Asian lettuce wraps I would give those a 3.5/5 one of the sauces on there wasn't the best and the pork was a little tough. For entrees I got the grouper fried tacos 5/5 full of flavor and the fish was cooked perfect not dry at all. My husband got the mahi coconut crusted plate with rice and sautéed veggies 4/5 good on flavor overall but I do think the fish needed a bit more favor (but if coconut you can definitely taste it) really simple more of like just salt for my preference. And rice where veggies were on the simpler side. Overall experience 4.5 and the views and ambiance are great! read more

The season is already in full swing and this place was rocking. We were coming here to see a local band and when they canceled we stayed for dinner. I'm on the beach so why not have the usual...Grouper Sandwich. It was blackened, good size and great flavor. I picked the side of black beans & rice and there was plenty and had great flavor. The band was amazing and the outside bar was packed. Great place to hang out on a warm Florida night. It's pretty much a beach bar so don't wear your good clothes read more

I wanted to love this place!!!! They were not busy. Im not sure if it was the severs first day or last day also between the runner and the SERVER you had to ask for everything napkins fork plate, condiments refills She cannot answer any questions about the fish or the market pricing or even the type of fish She guessed and was wrong. She came back twice to give us some information. . The grouper taco and sandwich was less than average no avocado, no shredded cabbage The mussels Maybe the reviews are from pre-Milton Do better! read more

I really wanted to like this place! The location is unbeatable. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was overwhelming (especially with the live music outside), the place lacked ambiance, and the service was borderline nonexistent. We ordered an appetizer, which was very delicious, but the plates for the apps were dirty, and we never received silverware. The drinks were well priced but did tasted cheap. Our meals were okay, I had a burger and my husband enjoyed his fish tacos. Perhaps they were short staffed this evening and I always want to give people the benefit of the doubt, but the service was nonexistent- no refills, no check ins, no dessert. Even the bathrooms were pretty gross. Again, I really wanted to enjoy this place so I hope that this improves over time! read more

Great place for live music...Friday night was rockin with an easy breezy casual vibe! Definitely more fellow locals there than I expected though. There's a dance floor for fun people-watching too, kind of like driving past a car accident when you can't help but slow down and watch. The drinks are relatively inexpensive...try the monkey runner. Considering they weren't busy, it wasn't difficult to get a drink. read more

If you are not a local you may opt out of going on a holiday but DON'T. You may think it will be way to crowded and hot but it is not. The service was unbelievable. Staff was continuously clearing plates, empty cups, napkins etc. It was always someone available to get more cocktails, ice, water etc. The food was good for a Sports Bar. It was elevated to casual dining level. IT WAS THE RITE CROWD NOT OVERCROWDED. They have live music and 22N rocked the house. They have a open area in front of the band for dancing. Parking can be tricky but hey we don't live in a perfect world. Catching Uber is recommended read more

I'm not someone that ever orders pork chops but since a friend ordered them and I saw how good they looked I thought I'd give them a try. Wow they're tasty! I'd be happy to make my way back here just for that again. My friend is still dreaming about them. In a group of 6 people, everyone had enjoyed their meals so I suppose it's not just pork chops they're good at. We were sitting on the top level near the bar and could still clearly hear the live music. The service was great and they had tasty cocktails. It did begin to get chilly* as the night when on and I'm not sure if there was heating up above near the bar. This is Florida we're talking about though so it's never necessary for the other 11 months of the year. *Chilly for Floridians. So not really that cold at all (chilly for Floridians) read more

Went to the Toasted Monkey to see my friend play music. Got there around 6:15 and all the outside downstairs tables were filled so we sat along the rail next to the bar. Great viewing seats! People were ultra friendly- staff was too. We needed up just having a few beers and a plate of chicken nachos (sorry no pics). Nachos were a B+- a little messy with the cheese sauce but we ate them all! Great party vibe here. Loved it! read more

Toasted Monkey was a major letdown with service YET AGAIN. After being seated, we waited over 20 minutes before anyone even brought us menus. It took another stretch of time just to get our order in. No water, no check-in, nothing. What made it worse was watching three bartenders off to the side eating and chatting while one server struggled to handle the entire outdoor section alone. The bar itself was completely empty. How does that even make sense? This wasn't just a bad day--it was clearly a management problem. There's no structure, no urgency, and no leadership. A place in such a prime location should be able to offer at least basic service, and this was far from it. I love the atmosphere here but it is so disappointing. read more

While I totally FORGOT to take food pix we loved it here. The vibe, the food, and our amazing server Carina!! I had the Texas Burger and my wife had the Chicken Bowl. Both were awesome. Our experience was probably a little different than most as it was cold, windy, and slow.... But that made the conversation slower and more enjoyable... as well as giving us a little bit more time to discuss food selections with Carina. She is just the best that's all I've got to say! Way to go Carina with your food suggestions :-) what a totally enjoyable evening! I imagine this place is slammed when the weather is good, so the next time the weather Isn't good....
