The Toasted Monkey

I love this place! Great food! Live music outside, rooftop, inside bar and seating. I'm a local that stays away from the beach during tourist season but we ended up here recently and I couldn't be happier. Great food, atmosphere and plenty of parking and seating. Who knew?? We'll definitely be back and bring friends. Stellar!!

Great visit! It was a really fun atmosphere and very upbeat. We've been during the day for a late lunch and at night for a drink after sunset. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks when we went. The music is good and we will definitely return!

We stopped here after a day at the beach and it was perfect. Good food, good view, available parking, and the waitress was very friendly and accommodating.

Food, service, and atmosphere was amazing. Timmy was an outstanding waiter who made great suggestions. Drinks and apps were an awesome way to start the evening!

I had family down from Jersey & told them this place was phenomenal!
Brittany couldn't of been more sweeter or more accommodating when checking in! Kristi was our waitress- VERY attentive , friendly with being extremely busy herself! The food is always great & the band was 🤟!
Great atmosphere & great company! Thanks again Toasted Monkey for another memorable night!

Fun place with great live music. We had an issue with the front host being incredibly rude and wanting to split our party of 8 and said we could not split a bill if we sat all together. The GM resolved it quickly and kindly. Servers were friendly. We only had drinks here

The pulled pork sandwich with Carolina slaw was awesome.
So was the she crab soup.
Also, the warm brownie with ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup!
I also enjoyed the live music.

Had an amazing time here this week, thanks again to Heidi and John for taking such good care of me at the bar! Also, the Asian lettuce wraps were a deliciously different gluten free menu option that blew my taste buds away, my compliments to the chef! (Brad and the entire staff) Great live music and atmosphere, if you are on St Pete Beach you definitely need to come check it out! 10 out of 10 recommend, will 100 percent be back!

Inside dining on a Saturday evening was a good choice since we were a group of five, including a six year old, and there would be a band performing later. The beer was cold, the fish tacos were a hit, and the Thai chicken bowl was amazing. The hamburger received a thumbs up, and the coconut shrimp was perfect! Our server, Kristi G, was a jewel - super personable, with a great smile. She made sure everyone was satisfied without being overbearing. Love this little jewel on the water and can't wait to return.

The chicken avocado bacon sandwich ($12.99) was absolutely amazing! I would come back just for that sandwich alone. The fries were good. Margaritas are $8.54 each. The vegetarian nachos ($9.99) were okay, if the shredded cheese had been melted it would have been even better. I order nachos A LOT almost everywhere I go so that’s why I’m a critic on that one 😜 The key lime pie was absolutely mouth watering! I forgot to snap a picture of that one but it comes with 3 small pieces all with whip cream on each one, (still the size of 1 slice) makes it easier to share. The price of the pie was $5.99. The band was awesome. We will be back here again.

Great lunch experience! The outdoor seating was comfortable and in the shade with a nice ocean view and breeze. Menu had lots of selections. Food was fresh and very tasty, the portion sizes were large too even for lunch. They have live music but they were setting up as we were finishing, so we didn't get to see them perfom. We did watch them tune their instruments to the songs playing on the radio which was cool. Not sure if it's always like this but we had 3 staff members serve our table and they all were very attentive and continued to check on us asking if we needed things or just make light conversation, they were all great and friendly. Would recommend and would visit again next time I'm in the area.

Always great service and delicious food! Lots of seating considering the huge downstairs area and the nice bar up top. Relaxing for us locals, especially on weekdays. The taco salad and nachos are the best! At least for us.

Christmas day under staffed but did an incredible job was an excellent experience and definitely will be back my son even recieved a free shot for finding a tv station for the football game

Had a great time. Good drinks, live music was awesome. Played cards!

We dropped by to check this place out and they were so welcoming and very chill atmosphere 😀 also the zuchini fries were amazing

Courtney was our Bartender on the rooftop of Toasted Monkey. Courtney was attentive and pleasant. The view of intercoastal and Gulf of Mexico is amazing from this location and it was a beautiful day to enjoy the Toasted Monkey! My son and I loved the beef nachos to start and I highly recommend the pork tacos. Delicious! My son also seemed to enjoy his Buffalo chicken wrap. Thanks to all the staff at the Toasted Monkey! Great experience.

Evening, a must stop for drinks and entertainment! The crowd went crazy for the live band with dancing and singing along.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant, and I can't help but sing its praises! From the moment I stepped foot inside, I was greeted with warmth and exceptional service. The staff, including a friendly employee named Jimmy, went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of amazing.

What truly impressed me was how considerate the waiter and another employee named Jimmy was towards my furry friend. Not only did he welcome my dog with open arms, but he even offered him a delicious treat.

Now, let's talk about the food. I ordered the coconut shrimp, it was absolutely good!

To complement my meal, I decided to indulge in an alcoholic beverage, and I was not disappointed. The drink was expertly crafted, with just the right balance of flavors to tantalize my taste buds. It was the perfect accompaniment to the coconut shrimp and added an extra layer of enjoyment to my dining experience.

In addition to the incredible food and drinks, the ambiance of the restaurant was enchanting. The decor was tasteful and inviting, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere. The attention to detail was evident, and it made me feel like I had stepped into a hidden gem tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

I can't emphasize enough how much I enjoyed my time at this restaurant. The outstanding service, the delectable coconut shrimp, and the delightful alcoholic beverage all combined to create a truly memorable dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for an exceptional culinary adventure, and I'm certain that Jimmy will be there to welcome you with a friendly smile and a treat for your furry companion.

This location has been a challenge for several restaurants, but I think this one has finally figured it out. The food is good, it's consistent, and the service is great. I love how they finally enclosed the area for the bands, which they have every day. It's very popular, which can sometimes mean it's hard to find parking, but as a local, I just use the free beach ride services. They also have a sister restaurant next door (Bouys) which has a dock and the same quality food and service.

Update 8/13/2022: Went back on a Sunday afternoon to listen to live music and have some lunch. It was very busy and we got seated behind the band which turned out to be a very good vantage point! After not getting service for about 15 minutes, we asked at the host stand and got served almost immediately. Food was great as usual and our server was very attentive the whole time we were there. Love the live music!! This was the steak Philly and the tuna tacos.
