Buoy's Waterfront Bar and Grill

I absolutely love this place! Whether I come for breakfast or in the evening, I always enjoy it. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the service is quick and attentive. I also have to mention the bartenders — professional, friendly, and they really know how to make great drinks. And of course, the view is amazing: the water, the boats, and the sunsets create such a beautiful atmosphere. It’s one of those places I’m always happy to come back to. One of my favorite spots!

Just arrived to St Pete Beach for a quick few days vacay. Stopped by here after we went to dog beach. Place is pet friendly on bottom level. Food was exceptional for a bar/grill type of place. Waitress was great. Had the Pork Belly BLT w truffle fries. Was very good. I recommend as a great lunch spot. Its on a nice little waterway as well. They also serve brunch to 5pm which i thought was pretty cool.

We changed our brunch destination at the last minute, and the food and cocktails were excellent. 🍸 😋 Kie lime pie is delicious, the view is breathtaking, and it's my new brunch spot at ST Pete. The supper menu has to be trayed next!

Love the fresh fish at buoys. It's our go to on St Pete Beach. Everything we have tried is fresh, flavorful and of great quality. They have nice portions and terrific servers, too. Pictured are the grouper dinner and tropical salad with blackened grouper.

This place is awesome, exceeded expectations. If you are looking for a chill authentically classy delicious getaway from the sun especially for lunch, this is your worry-free go-to. I got the Fra Diavola seafood pasta and it was wow. Tons of seafood, including fresh catch of the day (swordfish, no big deal!), calamari, shrimp, even scallops. The sauce is really tasty, and the portion is giant. I was hungry and this is what I could only dream of. Every bite was tasty. It was a tad bit heavy on the oil (which was ok - I just left it there on the bottom) so I added some salt and pepper and even some parm cheese to mask the oil and pull the protein and sauce flavor up. Strong recommend. Oh - not spicy, at least not more than hardly mild. Price was reasonable for it for sure, I do feel like I got my moneys worth. Service was attentive, helpful, and nice. From the hostess to the waitress, they reminded me of a time when people were authentically nice to others, not just pretend suck up for tips. My server was checking in on everyone attentively with a warm smile asking if there’s anything else (there was not - with this view and nice cool breeze in the shade on the patio, what more could you ask for. Oh, dessert I guess but I’m not one much for sweets). View on the second story is excellent too, feels European, like where the inlet goes out to the ocean. Also - and free parking!!
