This place is horrible! We sat in the tiki hut for 30 minutes and had to go ask for service twice before someone came over to our table and then when they came over they weren’t even apologetic. Will never eat here while staying in the area again. The food was mediocre. We got our appetizer and our meals at the same time and the server brought us our check before we were even finished. The iguana colada was good but didn’t taste like there was much alcohol in it. I didn’t appreciate the nonchalant attitude and atmosphere.

We are both extremely disappointed we had conch fritters that were uncooked, extremely greasy and had a fishy taste, the table was sticky and gross a long with dirty plates and silverware. The bartender needs to go back to school and learn how to mix drinks as well. There were more servers than customers and the service was definitely lacking. I am sorry but 1st impressions are lasting impressions and will not be back. We are locals as well…

Do not come here ever, for anything. It was our first time here for lunch at Rum Runners and we chose it mainly for its close proximity to the beach. We approached a near empty bar area and seated ourselves at the bar counter directly next to the cash register. Despite this, it took nearly 20 minutes for the bartender to approach us, and then he walked away from us TWICE in the middle of our order to talk to another guest about interior paint colors for his living room. I ordered a vodka martini with a twist of lemon, which is a basic order for any bartender… or so I thought. After repeating my order to me, I was immediately asked if I wanted it dirty(mixed with olive brine). While I enjoy dirty martinis, that’s clearly not what you just repeated back to me, and is honestly an appalling suggestion for anything with a twist of lemon. Finally, when my drink came, it was with a crushed wedge of lime instead. After a total of 45 minutes, we left without finishing our drinks and never even receiving menus.

The view is awesome. Everybody that works here acts like they hate there job. The food is not that great. I ate because I was hungry. Look elsewhere.

Great place to stop and have a drink(or two) when the sun is shining on the beach, and you just want to take a short break. The sand is really soft, and it’s nice to just walk over, sans shoes, and grab a mango daiquiri, and just hang out. Love the hammocks too.

This was my favorite place for lunch and mid afternoon drinks while I was there on vacation. The food was just OK but the drinks and the view made up for it. Service was always great, the bartenders made yummy strong drinks and it was always a fun vibe. I stayed in the resort so this was a very convenient place for me to eat, drink and then stumble my way back to my room. I can’t wait to go back.

This is a beach bar with a great location. You can’t beat the view. The service was good too. If you come here on a chiller Florida night they have heat lamps. The place is clean and easy to find. The service was prompt and accurate. I really enjoyed the tropical drinks. My table got an order of garlic wings, buffalo wings, sweet potato fries and quesadillas. I tried everything but the quesadillas because that Friend doesn’t really do community food. My buffalo wings are really good. The fries were average. The garlic wings were OK. It’s typical barfood. Don’t come here thinking that you’re going to get the best meal of your life and you won’t be disappointed. They had nice TVs too. I’ll be back especially when it’s warmer.

Service was great and Mama’s favorite wrap was delicious. Nice outside seating areas some are in the sand on beach. Will be back.

Food was ok. Nothing spectacular. Location is perfect! Right on the beach. Toes in the sand while having a drink in your hand! Could not be a better location. Live music on weekends and again on the beach. Drinks are a bit pricey but it is beach resort location

Terrible! Save yourself a wasted meal and go to Bongos right next door. We here there a 3 times while staying at the Grand Plaza next door. We just kept trying to give them another chance, since the location is nice. Service is terrible, and slow. Wings were just ok, nachos were like the kind you would get at a football game or something like that. Conch fritters were mushy. My son said his chicken strips were good though!

Wait staff is Awesome. Don’t sit at bar! Bartenders unfriendly and jerky. Atmosphere is great. LIVE steel drums are fabulous.

Came here for food and drinks while at the beach. We thought the food was mediocre. The burgers were not bad, but a couple of people in our party ordered sandwiches/wraps and the meat was low quality/processed(and $ 13 or more with fries). Most of the food remained uneaten. The drinks were tasty but were a little on the weak side. Gets 2 stars for its location and convenience while on the beach.

I am in love with this place. Each element is 3 – 4 stars but put together and facing the beach = perfect vaca spot! We stayed at Sirata for the weekend and were not expecting much by the way of food — have been to other resorts and paid premium prices for meh food. The menu is beach bar grub so know what to expect. The salads are not the best but if you’re splurging the Cubans, burgers and apps are really good! Coconut shrimp was fresh, crispy and had a sweet/tangy sauce. I am not a huge fan of seafood but could eat these all day long. Cuban bread is local and they have a few choices for the purists and Tampa style folks out there. Dad had the burger and split it with my son. It disappeared in seconds so I believe them that it was good. Drinks are also really tasty and range from $ 7 – 12 where other beachy drinks in the area are pushing $ 15 – 20. I really like that they have a pool, hot tub live entertainment pretty much all day. Can’t beat it, especially if you’re staying at the hotel!

The rum runner if you have not guessed is their signature drink. I had one and my face was numb. I drink a lot of rum and this place has the drinks on point. Food is so so for the money but the drinks are worth it for sure.

Out of at least about 35 tables at this restaurant on a Sunday night, about 8 were occupied and about 8 workers were there. We sat down(seat yourself) and we were not waited on for about 15 minutes until we finally decided to get up and leave. Even as we were walking out, out of the 4 or 5 servers standing there, we were still not acknowledged. As vacationers from out of town, this is not what we expect out of any restaurant we go to on the strip outside of fast food. On our next visit to St Pete, we will definitely not be returning to Rum Runners. Awful service and a huge waste of time.

If you eat at Sirata Beach Resort, this is a good start. While I have ate small food. It’s mostly very good. The flat beard pizza was ok. Not adult food or wuth price. But several things are very good. Top thing was smoked fish dip. It’s an appetizer but dione exceptionally well. A great light diner was this and shrimp quesadilla. It’s a hard thought about shrimp, roasted corn and black beans on tortilla, so many things could go wrong. Fortunately, it’s all good. Another great find was the garlic parmesan wings, word is yum. Oh yeah, the rum runner I’d really good. Better on second or third. The service is great. Plenty of suggestions. Friendly staff paid with view of beach.

How does brunch with sand beneath your toes sound? If you’re not staying at the Sirata resort, enter the Sirata hotel area and you will be directed to make an immediate left then right. Walk down an unmarked path to the left of the pool area, and you’ll run into the part of Rum Runners that is open to the public. They have several areas to choose from: a lounge area with a fireplace, an area near the pool, a covered deck and bar area, and then several tables under a tiki hut out on the sand. We opted for sand! With no hostess stand, we correctly assumed it was seat yourself. Unfortunately we arrived a little late for brunch. Nonetheless, the food menu looked decent. Drink menu looked great. We had the Sirata punch and I’d stick with that(PS: If you are here for brunch, check out the regular menu for cheaper drink prices). We both had a hard time deciding on the lunch menu. The menu had cute stories about each menu item, but ultimately there is no theme: choose from mexican(quesadillas, nachos), american(burgers, sandwiches), italian(pizzas, pastas), you get the gist here. Something for everyone! I had the open face italian sandwich which was basically a lean cuisine french bread pizza. My fiancé had the italian pizza. His was a few bucks more and was really tiny for an $ 11 pizza. Food was OK but nothing to write home about. Service is slooooooooooow. Remember you’re at the beach. Time moves slowly here, and so does the service at this restaurant, even just for drinks. If you want drinks you’re better off sitting at the bar. Lucky for us we weren’t in a hurry and were enjoying the scenery– which is what you’re really paying for after all — so it was a pleasant experience. But don’t come hungry or alternatively, be ready to order very quickly. I’d come back for the beautiful view. And maybe brunch next time, if we can make it on time!

Walked in here for breakfast. The view was great and our server was efficient and friendly. We weren’t impressed much with food though. My breakfast sandwich was just okay. A bit greasy. The potatoes that came with it weren’t good. Cut into large squares they were a bit mushy. Maybe if they were smaller, they could’ve been better. I tried one and left the rest on my plate. The sandwich was pretty filling, so I was happy.

This is a nice place to have a beach side dinner as the view and location are great. The food can be hit or miss as our group was divided as to whether they liked what they ordered. The bar area is huge. might be a great spot to get friends together for evening drinks and conversation when all the kiddies have gone to bed. It’s by a more kiddie friendly pool so if you are looking to really party, this place may not be the best spot(vs. Harry’s)
