Went on a Monday the last week of December, and there was an hour wait. Don't let that deter you though, just let it inform you to bring your patience and friendly attitude. It was obvious after a bit that they were under staffed, but the front of house working was putting in absolute WORK! We decided to wait it out and I am so glad that we did. The sea crab soup was absolutely amazing. We ordered it as an appetizer and then ended up ordering another bowl for dessert. My partner ordered the mahi tacos which he said were very good and I ordered the steak balsamic Alfredo pasta dish, which was also amazing. Would absolutely come back!

We had to wait quite a long time, even though they didn't have many clients and inside is more than half empty, they were short of help.Their food was really good tho they didn't have food I wanted to eat.I ordered mussels in red sauce, chicken wings Mc lobster side salad. They were all pretty good, but Mac lobster was a bomb. I would eat that any time any day!!Nothing fancy but nice place to have a dinner and drinks.I probably wouldn't go back. I thought their seafood selection was lacking!

I go to dinner with friends once a week, and since Hurricane Milton (last month) we've been going to restaurants on the beach that were impacted but now reopened. What a find "Rick's Reef" was. Everything they serve is fresh, and they make their own sauces. I had the grouper and it was delicious. One friend had the she-crab soup and fish spread, the other friend a kabobs and a side of french fries with lobster sauce (I tasted one ...WOW).I loved the restaurant. Exactly what you expect a beach restaurant to be..rustic with open bar and both outdoor and indoor seating. Waitress was friendly (without being over-the-top annoying friendly) and attentive.This place is definitely going on our rotation of regular spots to go to.

Perfect little beach/surfer bar vibes right off Upham Beach. Great bar and seating area outside to enjoy the nice breeze if it's not too hot out. Crab cakes were phenomenal -- haven't had that good of crab cakes since I was back home in New England. My boyfriend says he would give this place 5 stars for the smoked wings along. They're a must get!!!!

Lots of people always suggest this restaurant and we have yet to stop here, but now we finally did. At first you see a sign, wait to be seated, we stood there for a quick second no one came so we just stepped inside and that's when Blake greeted us. Basically got to choose wherever we wanted, so I picked a spot where I can see the football games. After sitting for a few and having a drink we decided to order. I tried the lobster fries, which were out of this world! They were really good! Then I ordered the po' boy but upgraded to the grouper with tater tots. It comes with a "shark sauce" which is a horseradish/mayo and it was good! My wife got chicken fajitas with their fried corn. She really liked the corn and the fajitas! The food was really good, and I was so glad since it was our last meal for our trip to St. Pete. The inside is very laid back, lots of tv's so I was able to watch some football while enjoying our time there. Our waiter, did a great job, very friendly and gave good suggestions.

I had a friend in town a couple of weekends ago that took me and my buddy out fishing, and we ended up catching close to 50 pounds worth of fillets and took 8 pounds worth into Rick's Reef for them to cook it up for us.The whole process was super smooth as we got all 8 pounds blackened, and for every 2 pounds, Rick's Reef gives you two sides, so everyone got to pick two sides for themselves, and if you wanted to order food on top of it, you could.I have never been to Rick's Reef, but it is a staple of Saint Pete Beach. Anytime I go fishing from here on out and want to eat that fish the night of I'll be back.Fish: 9.5Sides 9.2Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say6.9 and below - thanks but no thanks after trying once

If you are looking for a place to eat outside with good food, Rick's Reef is the place to be! Plenty of outdoor tables or seats at the bar and dogs are welcomed. Last time we were in town we went here and had to come back for the lobster fries. Those fries seem to be fresh cut which automatically makes them superior to any other fry out. The calamari was crispy and I liked how big the pieces of seafood was. The portions here are always big enough to eat some here and then later at home. Last time we got drinks but this time around we did not but they do make any frozen drinks you want. Will be back here again next time I'm in Florida for sure. Chicken Wing Review: I was not a fan of the chicken wings here. To start off there was not enough sauce and tasted almost watery when eating the wings. The wings were not nearly as crispy as I like them and way too fatty.

We passed by this place on our way back from breakfast. We looked at the menu and decided we would come back for dinner. We were there for happy hour so we ordered the $5 potato skins. My husband ordered the fish and chips and I ordered the grilled tacos. Both things were well prepared. Our server was friendly and efficient.

I was on vacation, late night dinner at 12am & the food was absolutely delicious. We were a party of 3 and we all agreed. We loved it! Best Grouper Reuben sandwich I've ever eaten. I would drive back there in a heart beat just to eat it. My husband's fish tacos were amazing, and our friend's chicken buffalo brioche sandwich was incredibly tasty. Don't forget to order the Mac and cheese as your side. All I can say is Yum!!!
