What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the spectacular waterfront views, especially at sunset, and praise the fresh, high-quality seafood, particularly the crab cakes and chowder. The lively atmosphere, especially for Ravens fans, and friendly service are often highlighted. However, some reviews mention issues with the condition of the outdoor seating area and occasional slow service, and one reviewer had a very negative experience with food quality and management.
"Brass Monkey at St. Pete Beach is a hidden gem! The drinks are refreshing, the ocean breeze makes the perfect backdrop, and the food is top-notch. The steak sandwich was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, the fish spread was fresh and creamy, and the seafood chowder was rich, hearty, and full of fresh seafood.
Not only is the quality amazing, but the pricing is great for a beachfront spot. You get fantastic food, generous portions, and a relaxed atmosphere—all with a beautiful view. Plus, the staff are super friendly, and the service is fast and welcoming. For the location, quality, and value, this is a solid 5-star experience."

"The Brass Monkey is such a gem! We had an amazing dinner with a beautiful view. The lobster tail and crab cakes were fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The sides—crisp green beans, seasoned potatoes, and golden fries—were delicious too. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the laid-back beachy vibe made the whole evening so enjoyable. We loved every moment and will definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Pass-a-Grille Beach!"

"The crab cake tasted rotten. The seafood bisque also tasted like barn. Bill the manager said come back he would take care of us. He later said I can’t help you ! Way to go for ruining my daughter’s birthday dinner ! Never go there !!!!"
