Winner of TripAdvisor’s 2023 #1 ‘Everyday Eats’ restaurant in the COUNTRY!

Located at the base of the downtown St. Pete Pier, Doc Ford’s St. Pete is as stunning as it is delicious. With inside and outside views of both downtown St. Pete, and Tampa bay, there’s a seat in the house for everybody. Enjoy the sea-breeze on the seawall while enjoying a couple Doc Ford’s Mojitos and Yucatan Shrimp!

    Gorgeous setting. Honestly the food was disappointing…it was a busy night and maybe the kitchen was overwhelmed?

    It is a tourist spot BUT they still care about the food and how much the customers enjoy it. Would eat there again.

    It was a beautiful day. The birds attacking each table that was turning over was a bit ugly. So maybe get those tables bussed quicker. Food was ok. Sweet potato fries were the best. Service was good.
