Whether you want to grab a pick-up or relish fine dining, St. Pete Beach remains one of the premier gourmet destinations in Florida. The best part is these restaurants are family-friendly so bring everybody along and dine until your heart's content. And, if you're looking to know all about the top family-friendly restaurants in St. Pete Beach, we've got you covered. So, without further ado, let's get right into it!
Caddy's Waterfront
I've visited Caddy's multiple times, and their waterfront locations are fantastic; some face the intracoastal waterway while others are right on the beach. Most locations are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner plus live entertainment, rent beach chairs and umbrellas for the day and so much more! Be sure to take a selfie at the oversized adirondack chair while you're there! Tip: Be sure to arrive early as parking can be a bear after midday; there are paid parking options.
Verducci's Pizzeria & Trattoria
It is almost impossible to find a more authentic Italian full course outside of Verducci's. With over 60 years of experience and hundreds of 5-star reviews, Verducci is a top name when it comes to Italian cuisine. Their special dish is named "Veal Ossobuco."
Twisted Tiki & Chill
Super Scoops
Chick-Fil-A
The Boardwalk Grill @ John's Pass
Service options: Takeaway, dine in, and delivery
VIP Mexican
Service options: Takeaway, Dine-In
Salt Rock Grill
Located on the Intracoastal waterway, Salt Grill is an award-winning and highly sought-after restaurant that prides itself on its own local seafood, caught from its own fishing charter boats. It's truly gulf to table. More upscale than some of the other local restaurants, but it still offers a good selection of children's choices for food. Get there early or make reservations ahead of time as it is a very popular restaurant along Gulf Blvd, but always worth the wait.
Service Options: Dine In, Curbside Pick-up, No Contact Delivery
