Doc Ford's Rum Bar and Grille St Pete Pier St. Petersburg Reviews from The Last Year
Doc Fords has never disappointed.
We have eaten here on 4 different occasions. Fresh fish is usually our main entrees and they have always been excellent. Friendly staff and wonderful service each visit!
Overall an experience that made for a great Florida vaca day
Atmosphere outside by the St Pete Pier was beautiful, exactly how I enjoy a meal put. Waitress was very gracious and accommodating. My husband had a fish sandwich, I had the Cuban and a bloody Mary. Delicious, especially after I asked for BBQ sauce to dip it in. The only complaint is that their system for calling those waiting for a table is a text to your cell phone. The host wrote down my number incorrectly and we never received the notice so our name was removed. After a long wait my husband inquired and found out we weren't on the list anymore. Double check the number they write down for your table notification.
We came here for the love of rum! It did not disappoint!
We came here for the love of rum! It did not disappoint! Our waitress was very knowledgeable with regard to the many rums they had. We sat at the bar with the ocean breeze. It's the perfect spot if you are in a date night or day drinking scenery is beautiful! We can't wait to go back and try more rum and appetizers. I highly recommend!
So so food.
Drinks were weak. Not the selection of seafood items I expected from a seafood restaurant right on the water.
A long walk down a long pier on a gorgeous Thursday night
A long walk down a long pier on a gorgeous Thursday night led us to Doc Ford's in St Pete. Despite being told it was a 20-30 minute wait, we were seated in 2, with a gorgeous view and an exemplary, engaging, and attentive server by the name of Lily who enjoyed a bit of gab and laughter the entire night. We weren't rushed, and we were well tended, which always makes a huge difference! The food was wonderful and well-presented as well! Should you find yourself on the pier, stop in and say hello to Lily. Tell her hello from Idaho!
Thrilling
We went to this spot as a business trip and it was amazing. Our waiter Kyees had made this experience better and making it Top teir.
The food is wonderful.
The service sucks. I've been in maybe 7 times now and only two times was the service good. This last time I had a gift card that I keep forgetting to use. I decided to pop in while I was out and walking around. I sat at my table for 30 minutes. 30 minutes waiting for ANYONE to say hello. I got up went to the bathroom came back and still no one came so I left and went down the street to eat. The food is really good. Love their salads, fish etc but its not worth the bad service.
Coming back. …
Fun environment, great views and outdoor space. Plus the food was on point and surprisingly affordable for touristy area. Not To mention Skyler was on it. Slammed but managed it well.
Beautiful location at the base of the pier.
They have plenty indoor and outdoor seating. After a long walk around the park and pier we were happy to inside for the AC. We had about a 30 minute wait. Our server Gregg was friendly and patient with our group. Parking at the pier is pay by plate. Plenty of people have already shared the menu but it really has many great seafood options. Lots of fun mixed drinks and a good beer selection (tried local Coral Head IPA which was nice). We tried the banana leaf grouper with corn salsa and chimichurri sauce. The entree was paired with well seasoned black beans and rice, and julienne squash. It was honestly great - five star meal Grouper tacos were good. Kids loved the basic Kraft Mac and steak fries. They got a complementary ice cream sandwich with the meal. = happy kids.
Atmosphere is Great - Food is Not
Sitting outside with the lights, the water and the music provides the perfect atmosphere for a nice evening especially when the weather was so perfect. But, the food is another thing. I am like Forrest when it comes to shrimp. I ordered fried shrimp and it was the worst fried shrimp I have ever had. The batter was as hard as a rock, it was so crunchy it took away from the shrimp taste and they even came out cold because this place is so darn busy. The coleslaw had no taste and I did not enjoy one bite. This is your classic tourists trap that lures you in with the lights and the music and then you suffer through your meal. There are much better places nearby. No they don't have this location but choose wisely, go for the atmosphere or the food.
Nice spot on the water at the St Pete Pier.
Outdoor and indoor seating available. We sat outside and it was a gorgeous view. Food was very good, fresh fish and nice sides. Drinks were very good as well. Definitely recommend.
Doc Fords .. not a great night!
Went with a group of six .. not best experience! Sat outside .. music blaring loud .. so loud we were actually yelling across our table. Asked waiter to have them play softer and were told it was not possible. I ordered peel and eat shrimp .. first time ever a have paid for shrimp at a restaurant and been served shrimp uncleared with veins intact! Totally unappetizing! Another in group had calamari appetizer .. far overdone. Disappointing evening.
Marla is awesome
Always a great time and food never disappoint. Our server Marla is the best. She is awesome and went above and beyond to make sure we have the best time.
Oops wrong one.
So apparently there are several locations of Doc Fords, who knew? Not me. Friends highly recommended grabbing a table outdoors for the great view. Only after visiting The Pier did we realize we must have been at the wrong location the day before. This location has a nice view don't get me wrong but nothing like The Pier location. My advanced reservation requesting outdoor seating was honored. We were seated outside on a high top table with a view of the bay? Well we overlooked lots of boats tied up & water. It was very pretty. There was music as it was a late Sunday @4 on the lower deck. Our server was friendly & efficient throughout our dining experience. We started off with fish fingers which were delicious. Fried perfectly & we tried the many private label sauces provided. That would have been enough for me right there but I did order the Seared Tuna Appetizer billed as Served rare atop chilled rice noodles that have been tossed with crispy Asian veggies, fresh herbs and a Thai peanut vinaigrette, topped off with a sweet soy drizzle and wasabi coulis. Unfortunately, I did not enjoy this. The dish was drowning in the peanut vinaigrette & made the dish hard to eat. There were 3 thin slices of tuna & I could not even tell the taste because of the heavy handed sauce all over the plate. My dining companion ordered the shrimp tacos served with a side of rice & beans. He enjoyed them & commented the dish was tasty. Since it was early evening I decided on a Bloody Mary. It was nice & spicy. My Dino g companion ordered a beer from their many taps. As we were leaving g the place got extremely crowded with people waiting for tables. Overall, we had a good experience but were disappointed that we had made our reservation at the wrong location. So if you're wanting to enjoy the Pier for Dino g make sure you choose the right location when making online reservations.
Yhe best food that we have ever had.
Yhe steak was better than any steak house and the fish wonderful and perfectly prepared . The ambiance was amazing and the service perfect . We will return
First time, not the last time.
Great food. Worth the Wait! If you’re not a seafood person, plenty of options in the menu! Prices were low I felt. Would try it again!
It was extremely crowded so service was slow but the bar
It was extremely crowded so service was slow but the bar was slower. Took close to 10 mins to be greeted at the table and another 15 mins before we got bar beverages. Food was good and hot when it came out. A major complaint is the noise. It is entirely too loud and hard to carry a conversation with the people at your table.
First timers what a great place !
Wonderful atmosphere and great service food was amazing shane our server was pleasant suggestive and prompt! Love this place was our first time !!
The Cornelius experience!
Beautiful spot near the pier St Petersburg. Our waiter Cornelius made the whole experience awesome! He has a very laid back demeanor. Wonderful place to establish. FOOD IS GREAT!
Amazing meal and experience
Great food...and Becky provided amazing service - super friendly amd cheerful...food was great, but combined with her service, we will definitely be back.
This is a busy place.
Right on St Pete pier and on the water. The fish tacos had a lot of bones in it and were difficult to eat. The rice and beans were very tasteless. A friend had the shrimp and grits. The shrimp had the shells on them and also difficult to eat. Water was dripping from the vents above our table. Overall, not good.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Appointment
I was waiting on the transfer for name but it hasn’t happened yet and my reservation is tonight , will it be an issue that is hasn’t changed into my name yet
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Just got scammed!
Thats unfortunate but you can always get your money back if they cancel the reservation.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
