Had breakfast here this morning and Kevin was our server. Great diner food and quick service with a smile. I ordered bananas with my pancake and there were like 4 slices but as they put it down Kevin was already on it to get more lol Hubby got shrimp n grits and said they were delicious with creamy grits but needed a bit of seasoning. We shared the pancake and it's definitely huge but I wouldn't say it's a hubcap unless it's a small tire. Nice flavor, average pancake overall. Egg platter with white cheese grits and wheat toast. Again pretty decent but average overall. Quick trip here and I'd come back. read more

I placed an order to go. It was ready in about 15 min. Very quick! It's a quant little diner that was very cute and clean. The servers were very pleasant. The food was hot, fresh and delicious and the prices were very reasonable. I highly recommend the black and blue burger! Honestly one of the best burgers I've ever had. read more

I have been watching this diner on social media and finally had time to take my grandson and daughter with me to have breakfast! The parking lot is small but there is plenty of street parking-you may to just walk a little bit (allows more calories at breakfast)! We didn't have a wait to be seated outside and it was a beautiful morning! Our server Rebecca was amazing-she had a great personality and took good care of us! My daughter ordered an omelette with fruit and toast and it was such a generous portion she shared it with my 2 year old grandson! I had the burrito buster and it was huge but delicious! The prices aren't bad at all and the menu is huge! It's definitely worth a repeat visit! read more

We came here for the outdoor seating since have a little dog with us. The weather was perfect this morning so perfect location for sitting outside & in the shade. The food is consistently good, I had an egg white omelette that was outstanding with their famous potatoes and my honey had two fried eggs with potatoes. Let's talk about their killer potatoes- they roast them then cut them up and then either pan fry them or bake them again. They are perfectly crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. So good! My honey says," they have the best coffee in town!" Service was great- cheerful, funny, accommodating. speedy to turn around our beverages and food with a smile & great sense of humor. This is a locals favorite. Highly recommend read more

Trip's Diner - Biscuit and gravy eggs bacon and home fries - American Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

Excellent little St. Pete Florida treasure. Menu has a great variety of options all of which are on the spectrum of traditional breakfast items. Service was great- server was friendly and attentive. Small diner but cute with historical local stories and memorabilia in the tables and on the walls as you enter. Small parking lot maybe fits 15 cars so keep that in mind when coming to visit. You pay at the register and not the table - they take all payment types. Overall loved this place, will definitely be back! read more

Trip's Diner - Avocado Toast- Whole Wheat toast. Fresh smashed avocado, sliced tomatoes, an egg your way and everything seasoning. - American Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

Food: Better than most diners these days! You can tell they went more unique with the recipes vs run of the mill. I had the chicken and biscuits with a side of scrambled eggs. I wanted to try the chicken and waffles but they don't have 100% real maple syrup which is always a deal breaker for me, p.s. offer it for an up-charge ;) This I landed on chicken and biscuits and they were delicious. The chicken had a nice peppery and flavorful breading. I do wish more sausage gravy came with the meal... why because I wasn't expecting 2 biscuits with the split breast. Very good, and I'd go back for this. Service: Excellent service! The waiter checked in with us regularly and the host even let us pick a seat near an outlet as I was there, working during breakfast with someone on my laptop. Ambiance: Classic diner vibes with outside seating too! Has a bar front seating area as well. read more

Moved to St Petersburg Gateway neighborhood about a year ago. Drive past Trips on 9th often, finally decided to stop in for breakfast another time for lunch. Solid place both visits!! Highly recommend the chicken salad melt with grits!! Service was attentive and friendly. parking is available on site. read more

I was looking for a hearty breakfast that wasn't going to be super expensive at tourist rates. I found trips where the locals eat. I had a fantastic breakfast exactly what I wanted- sustantial not overpriced with really warm and friendly service. It definitely will not be my last trip to Trips during this visit. read more

I had the meatloaf dinner with real, skin--on mashed potatoes, rather bland collards, great garlic Texas style toast. The sauce on the meatloaf was tasty, but I would have preferred a bit more zip and the collards lacked the depth of flavor found in real southern cooking. The meatloaf itself was at least a full half pound and was jucy and full of assorted flavors. The iced tea actually tasted like iced tea. The price Mas reasonable at $13.95. The ambiance was that of a typical dinner. The service was friendly and efficient. The place was packed and parking is space. Order their fried string onions when you come...the merit being in the restaurant hall of fame. read more

Major disappointment on the salads. Was really looking forward to a crispy romaine salad and instead got soggy wilted lettuce, not worthy of eating. Also, adding to my disappointment was trying to eat my meal while fighting several flies going for my food. I'm eating inside in A/C, so why I'm being attacked by flies? The 2-stars were for the French onion soup that was hot and flavorful. Parking behind the diner helps. read more

Trip's Diner - Chicken and waffles - American Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

Everything tasted great! I've only tried the location in Tampa so I saw this one and food was just as I expected! Great grits and the waffles was pleasing. I'm a wafflemaniac so it's a win! The servers were so nice and the prices are moderate. Quiet and on the Main Street but also in the cut. Go! read more

We heard that Trip's Diner was the place to go in downtown so I went there last night and had the Fried "Steak", two scrambled eggs, hash browns, and rye toast. The so called Fried Steak was a thin piece of mystery meat with an odd flavor tacked on, my eggs were room temperature, the hash brown were barely warm, but the toast was good. Probably my first and last Trip's to Trip's Don't waste your money read more

It is always crazy packed the 3 times I have tried. This places an incredible pressure on kitchen and servers with hundreds of variations in orders and personalities. I am 0-3 actually getting what I ordered. What I received has been this far good enough to not write it off when I am in the mood for their offerings. Also REALLY depends on your taste preferences...I am vegetarian so many items offered I am not interested to consume... it appears to be a carnivores oasis. I can only speak for myself and they have proved for decades that people love their offerings as it continues to pack'um in ! Kudos for knowing your market! read more

Ordered eggs & hash browns w/ toast. All items were cold when served. They no longer have butter, claiming they mix butter & margarine into the little containers they serve when asked for butter. No offer to serve me just butter, assuming they were telling me the truth re: mixing butter & margarine. That means they have butter, right? Apparently, they don't care about providing customers w/ what they ask for! I will never return. This is not the same Trips Diner that I used to love. New owners? New management? Totally a different place now. read more

Our server took great care of the 6 of us on our Monthly outing. The food was delicious and Hot. Great old style place lots of stuff on the walls to look At ( NY Yankees team photo etc) Definitely going back to try more . It was really busy for a Sunday morning . Parking lot is small but street parking available nearby . read more

Good food, good prices, good service - all in all a solid diner. I've not had lunch or dinner there but it's a popular choice for breakfast/brunch when I visit family in the area. I recommend the hubcap pancakes (they are really are the size of a hubcap) and the fried green tomato eggs Benedict. read more

This was a multiple time delvery. So, I haven't been there yet. I always order food the way they make it the first time. Then I tweak to my preferred taste. Food was delicious and the next time it was better. The only reason it is not five star is that once a turkey sandwich came looking like it was literally thrown into the to go container. It was uncut. read more

Looked up options for breakfast in the area before driving to Fort Myers and this cute little diner did not disappoint. Mostly traditional menu with a few seafood items sprinkled in to keep with the Florida vibe. Everything was cooked perfectly. The decor is classic with framed photos from the past with a nod to the local area. Our waitress was nice, attentive and quick to help despite running multiple tables the entire time we were there. If you don't want to wait for a table they do have a few seats at the counter that are first come first serve. They also have a nice patio area for those who want to sit outside. If you are in the Tampa/St Pete area I would recommend a stop here for breakfast, brunch or lunch just don't expect anything bougie, it's diner faire at its best. read more

The service was excellent but the food was just ok. It wasn't bad but it wasn't all that good either. I had corned beef hash and eggs. Hash was bland and eggs were over cooked. Probably won't be going back there any time soon. read more

Trip's Diner - Coffee Mug - American Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

First time at Trip's I was at the Tampa location. I had the Reuben. Very good. Pleasantly surprised. I asked if I could substitute my side for the collard greens and they said yes! I also got a small order of the onion strips. They were fried very thinly sliced onion rings. Also very good. They came with a dipping sauce called lemon horseradish. I wish I knew how they put that together. It was so good. Sometimes when you call the restaurant they will tell you how to make it and in what proportions. I was with three other friends and we sat on the patio. We were there for I swear two and a half hours catching up. We were never hurried or rushed even when most of the lunch crowd had left. They had plenty of parking and I was lucky to get a space. Thank you for an enjoyable time Trip's!! read more

We loved our breakfast! This restaurant is soooo goood for a lovely southern style breakfast, BUT we have a very miniature Daschund and just FYI that families with pets must sit outside, even in the 90 degree weather! So, we will go back but we will leave puppy at home next time. read more

We had a fun time at this diner. Great atmosphere. They already had a waitlist after only being open 10 min. It was a Saturday morning. I assume most weekends are like this. Recommend getting there when they open to avoid wait. Food: I got the eggs Benedict with grits. Good hollandaise sauce. The grits were creamy and delicious. 9/10 My friend ordered the biggest pancakes I've ever seen. Great batter. Served with butter and syrup. 9/10 Also got a to go order of french toast. My friend said it was excellent too. read more

Trips is a great little place. There is outside seating so depending on time of year...you have that option as well. The food is homemade and delicious. It's in a residential neighborhood so the parking is a little difficult especially on the weekends. I would recommend the Big Breakfast, Corned Beef Hash, and the Avocado Toast. Either way you can't go wrong. Enjoy. read more

Might be my favorite restaraunt in Florida, top 2 definitely, we love Trip's!! Went here for a second time and it was even more delicious than the first; we got the Crab omelette with home fries and an English muffin, shrimp and grits, and a plain and blueberry pecan hubcake. All the food was ready in about 20 minutes or less, our waitress was funny and nice, my shrimp and grits were super good, cheesy, and warm, with a good amount of shrimp and bacon. The crab omelette was a little fishy, wouldn't get that again, the home fries were nice and crispy though. Lastly, the Hubcakes were HUGE, biggest pancakes ever, maybe 12x12" at least, very tasty and id for sure get them again. I'd love to back!! read more

Great place to eat hardly breakfasts any day of the week. The staff is friendly. The menu is awesome with variety of food to choose from.

The prices here are great and the food is very good!!! Large portion for the price. Service was quick and friendly, Red was great. Small town diner feel. Visiting from out of town and can't complain about anything inside or the food. Lobster bisque was tasty and fresh. Ranch was homemade which is a huge plus in my book. The burger was very big and super cheap. Only complaint is the parking is limited and has to park down the street. read more

We went for a coworkers birthday this week because we were all craving breakfast. I was excited, as I had never been to this St. Pete diner staple. I ended up order the Big Breakfast, which was in fact BIG. It came with a giant pancake, turkey sausage, eggs and cheese grits. Everyone's order came out fast and delicious. Most of us could not finish our plates. The pancake was fluffy and eggs were cooked perfectly. The grits were serious business and THICK. Service was great, also, and I liked that despite being a diner, it was still light and airy with an outdoor seating area, too. The price point was just right for a diner. The menu is VAST with something for everyone. At our table, there were omelettes of varying sizes, a huge burger, chicken sandwich, meatball sub. They also have pasta dishes. They honestly have everything. The only downside was at the end when we went to check out. The server correctly gave us our proper checks but when we went to ring everyone's order out, they accidentally charged some of us for the incorrect items. Because of that, it took quite a while to get out of there. It's probably a non-issue for smaller parties though. read more

My favorite breakfast spot in Saint Pete! I love the fried chicken biscuits with gravy! Charlie was a great !

Lousy service, luke warm coffee, no good, cheap ingredient breakfast food, average is being generous. I've eaten breakfast here several times hoping by some miracle they read reviews and correct things. I won't ever go back. read more

This place is a staple in our home. Huge portions, food comes out quick and fast friendly service. They get busy quick so go ahead and expect a wait on the weekends, I promise it's worth it.

Trip's Diner - Banana French toast and side of cheese grits - American Near Me - St. Petersburg, Florida

I've been looking for a good diner in St. Pete and finally found one. We got a few dishes to split: - Trip's Triple Club: 5/5, Huge portion + come with the good fries that are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. - Biscuits & Gravy: 5/5, I try biscuits & gravy whenever I see it on the menu and most I take a bite and don't eat. This one was so good and reminded me of home. - Fried chicken & waffles: 4/5, Waffle was cooked well (not too crispy/not too soggy). The chicken had a good crisp to it but the batter needed more seasoning. Total we spent $35 WITH tax/tip. A steal. There is so much on the menu to try, I will definitely be back! read more
