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!

    Great restaurant and the Grouper sandwich blackened is 10/10 every single time. Recommend this restaurant to people of all ages. Doc Ford’s is the place to go.

    Food was great. The birds were very irritating flying onto vacant tables for leftovers and noisy. Service was slow.

    Dirty silverware, slow service, and overall quality was just ok. Location is great but the food and service weren’t worth the price.
