Why We Picked It

Doc Ford’s occupies a 10,000-square-foot space at the base of the downtown St. Pete Pier, with views of both downtown St. Petersburg and Tampa Bay. TripAdvisor named it a 2023 Travelers’ Choice ‘Best of the Best’ for Everyday Eats — a solid, casual, scenic stop while exploring the Pier district.

MAX Insider Tip — Ask for outdoor bay-facing seating, and try the Yucatan Shrimp — the dish the restaurant is best known for.
