“ A place so nice I had to go twice!!! Best breakfast in town! Florida omelette with shrimp was beyond expectation. Stephanie behind the bar was incredibly friendly and engaging, also turned us on to all the sister concepts of RR. The hangover Benedict is also a must try. Definitely a spot for locals and tourists alike! ”
“ We want to this restaurant last month and had the best American/beach-style food I’ve ever had—everything was fresh, homemade, and delicious. My mahi-mahi with mango and mashed potatoes was out of this world and absolutely amazing. Every dish we ordered was incredible, and we ate so well. The atmosphere is super cute and welcoming—we loved it. The cherry on top was the key lime pie, the best I’ve ever had in my life. It was perfectly sweet, with the real taste of lime, not artificial flavoring. Please, make sure to try it! ”
“ Might’ve been the best grilled grouper I’ve had on my trip so far. Our waitress was wonderful and we will be back next time we are in Blind Pass. Drinks were well priced and delicious. Rick’s Reef is a must visit!!! ”
“ Been here many times! St Pete natives! Always bring visitors by , it’s a beach staple, the food and drinks are great! Breakfast is actually our favorite but anything here is good! Great value of food for the price and the service is wonderful. Most recently we were there the past two weeks for breakfast and both servers 10/10! Amazing crew! ”
“ I stumble across one of the best. Best, seafood restaurant and bar. Oh my goodness I ordered calamari and it is second to none even better than Anna Maria oyster bar. Then another picture is going to be of a grouper. Ruben. Haven't taken a bite yet but it looks delicious ”
