The Deck Bar & Grille

This is one of our all-time favorite places to go in St Pete. The owner, a local to the area, is always such a pleasure to talk to and visit with. His flavor combinations are delicious and well worth the money. Highly recommend the Tampa Cuban (it was so delicious looking, I ate it before a picture). If you aren't going to this place, you're missing out on a hidden gym. It has sports, food, atmosphere and more.

The Deck Bar & Grille is what happens when a sports bar, beach shack, golf clubhouse, and Florida uncle cookout all join forces like the Avengers. This place has EVERYTHING. I opened the menu and immediately felt like I needed a game plan, a hydration coach, and possibly a waiver. First off, the Black & Blue Burger absolutely bullied me. A blackened half-pound burger with blue cheese crumbles and bacon? That thing didn’t come with fries. It came with life advice and cholesterol confidence. Then somebody at the table ordered the Nashville Hot Buffalo Chicken Sandwich, and I’m pretty sure I watched a grown man sweat through all five stages of grief while still saying, “nah this is really good though.” The menu reads like a Florida fever dream: Boom Boom Shrimp Philly Cheesesteak Egg Rolls Deep Fried Irish Egg Rolls Coconut Shrimp with apricot jam A Blackened Mahi Reuben (which sounds illegal but somehow works perfectly) Whoever designed this menu clearly said, “What if every craving in America got trapped inside one building?” And honestly? Respect. The Walkerswood Shrimp deserves its own billboard on I-275. Jamaican spices, lemon, blackened shrimp, Cuban bread… I almost stood up and saluted. Also shoutout to the wing sauces because they have: Mango Habanero Korean BBQ Garlic Parmesan Carolina Sweet Kamikaze I ordered “medium” because I value my ability to continue speaking English. The vibe is peak Florida in the best possible way: TVs everywhere Cold drinks People laughing way too loud Someone definitely arrived by golf cart At least one dad wearing sunglasses indoors And somehow it all works. Bonus points for calling the sandwiches “Sandwedges.” That joke alone earned an extra star from me. The service was awesome too. Staff was fast, funny, and somehow completely unfazed by our table ordering like we’d just escaped a deserted island. By the end of dinner we had: sidewinders, sweet potato fries, chili cheese burgers, fish spread, key lime pie, and zero self-control. Honestly, The Deck isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a full-contact dining experience. 10/10. Come hungry. Leave questioning every salad you’ve ever eaten before this.

We had an absolutely amazing time at the Deck! The server Shalia was very professional, friendly and personable making our experience there one that will definitely have us coming back! The bartender Laura was so friendly and knowledgeable about our drinks making it exactly how I like my tequila!!!! And the chef Jay was top notch! Such an asset to this establishment making our order just how we asked for it !!! Absolutely love this restaurant and we will definitely be back especially during college football season!!! Go ‘Canes!!

Great fun, good food and cold beer on Halloween. The mahi tacos were delicious. The coleslaw was a little bland. Sister Sanela, the bartender was friendly and attentive. The live music was talented. The decor was inviting. They have outdoor seating. A 4 screen TV and smaller TVs.

Gave this place a try. WOW! Please come! I had the fried shrimp, pineapple coleslaw and veggies. All were fab! These are prawns....AND 10 OF THEM! Hubby had the phili steak sandwich which was buttery, soft and flavorful. In fact, we love how are food was presented and asked to tell the cook. WELL, ,"JAY" the cook came out per our request and we said what a great job they did! Applause!!!! Come try this hidden spot everyone!!
