One of my favorite places to catch a game. The TVs are amazing and the staff is speedy and friendly. Overall the food is solid. I am a big fan of the turkey reuben. The stuffed mushrooms and spinach/artichoke dip are my favorite appetizers. The fried cheesecake and cookie sundae desserts are both stellar. Not a fan of the fish tacos. Courtside is perfect for a date night.
Review Source:Courtside not only has great service, but also has LCD TV's on every corner for cheering on your beloved team or player. Â The food is average but what do you expect from a sports bar? I come here mainly for the ambience as the people are great and tend to be very friendly. Â From my last visit I ordered some chicken wings (which was very average), a Philly cheese steak (a bit above average), and mashed potatoes (surprisingly good). The only knock I have on this place is their beer selection. Now I don't expect great food from a sports bar, but I do expect there to be a huge beer menu. Regrettably there just wasn't that much diversity in that department. Â I will be back though as their service is truly great and continuously puts a smile on my face.
Review Source:This place was good. I loved the food I ordered, which was Island Pasta, I believe. Our waitress was nice, and she was focused at least from which I heard sucked. The environment wasn't loud at the time, which was good because my grandmother HATES loud crowds. The TVs were great, I could see what I wanted to watch. I want to come back, I recommend, but if you hate loud places and/or an American bar don't come here.
Review Source:Great atmosphere, ok food.
This seemed like the place to be on a Friday night during basketball season. Â There are t.v.s EVERYWHERE, so you don't have to worry about asking for a seat where you can see the game. Â It was packed, but we were still seated right away. Â I feel like it is so big that even when it is bustling with noise and movement, there are still open tables.
Parking is packed and although you may not find an actual parking spot in the parking lot, you can park on the grass further back, so there is no problem with parking.
People here are dressed on the nicer side. Â This place has a good looking clientele. Â It seems like there are people of all ages (well all ages on the younger end), so it is a nice crowd.
We got the chicken nachos and medium wings. Â The nachos are huge! Â They are meant to be shared. Â They were not the best nachos ever, but they are decent. Â There is pork in the cheese sauce. Â The waitress was great, telling us this. Â I would have liked if the chips in the nachos were sturdier. Â Some seemed a little stale and they got soggy quickly. Â There are chips that come with the buffalo wings. Â They are pretty sturdy and actually pretty good. Â So overall, I'd give the food a B.
This place also serves sushi. Â That weirds me out a little, but there is a sushi bar where they make the sushi. Â I saw plates go by, so obviously people are ordering it. Â I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
There is a bar in the middle of the restaurant where people can comfortably sit. Â Honestly, I would come back for the atmosphere and the people than the food. Â I could honestly see myself sitting at the bar watching a game by myself, and I don't say that about many bars.
I've eaten here many times over the past 4-5 years and the food is Ok and the atmosphere is decent. Â However the past two times I've been they've brought out the wrong order to our table, left the food and then have come back 5-10 mintues later to take it to another table!!!!!!! Â Despite the disgusted look on my face the waitress didn't seem to be coy about what she was doing and made it seem like this was managements policy. Â Who knows what could have happened to the salad or sushi on our table before it was taken to some other unsuspecting diner. Â
They have a good selection of beer on draft and in bottles, but stay away from the food, you never know who's already taken a few bites of your salad or slobbered on your sushi.
I had the pleasure of eating here with the lovely ladies in my book club. There were only 4 of us. We chose this venue b/c of it's location. It's easy to get to from Tampa. We were seated on the patio as it was a nice night out but it seemed that the patio servers were also the patio bartenders and we got the shaft.
Our food took a very long time and we didn't order anything too complicated. The bartender was friendly enough but was clearly busy at the bar. When my salad did arrive, it actually pretty tasty but I just didn't enjoy how long everything took. I think we got there at 7 and our food came out at 8,
It seems to be more of a bar vibe from I what I saw at that time. It's probably best to do for a happy hour or at least sit inside with a server.
I went to Courtside Grille again last night with a group of friends. I special-ordered my dinner in that annoying "on a special diet way" and I have to say that they accommodated my requests very well. I ordered the tilapia grilled with no oil or butter and asked for no rice and double veggies instead, also no oil or butter. They did everything just right except did bring the rice. No big deal, I just left it on the plate. I would not have downgraded my rating just based on the food, which was fine, considering I asked them to remove everything that tastes good, haha.
However, the service was extremely slow. One of my friends ordered her chicken grilled and they brought it blackened. Our checks were totally messed up.
We did enjoy hanging out on the patio and I would go there again with lowered expectations.
Courtside has gone way downhill in the past few years. Â This time we were seated at a dirty table and it only got worse from there. Â The service was extremely slow even though there were far more employees milling around than customers ... about twenty employees and about a half dozen customers, yet the service is still horrible! Â Then, we watched the waitress go straight from using cleaning products and visibly filthy rags to picking up our food without even washing her hands. Â The food has been very disappointing for the past few years since they changed the menu ... seemingly to get rid of the items that were too difficult (good) for a new kitchen staff. Â Unfortunately, Courtside is now only worthwhile for drinks and, since the atmosphere is kinda warehouse-ish, there are far better options in that department too.
Review Source:Believe it or not, this sports bar has fabulous sushi! It leans more towards the cooked and Americanized version of sushi rather than the raw and fish-oriented "real" sushi, but it's still very good. We very much enjoyed the Franchise roll (has beef) and Slam Dunk (fried roll). The Garlic & Lime Edamame is worth a couple bucks more than the regular edamame.
Review Source:Went for dinner tonight and it is probably better served as an after work watering hole or spot for a work group to gather vs dinner with the family. Â Decor is nice and there are tv's in every direction. Â Standard sports bar menu. Â The service was ok, nothing great.
My bro had the chicken ciabatta sandwich and it looked good. Â We got calamari which were nothing special and chicken nachos for the table. Â The nachos were not that great. Â They don't melt cheese on it, they use a queso. The chicken was like purdue cuts you by in the bag at the store and it had lettuce and tomato, but no jalapenos. Â
The waitress convinced us to order dessert, we waited 10 minutes and she brought us out the wrong dessert so she took off to get us the chocolate cake and another 10 minutes went by. Â When she brought the cake I jokingly asked if she had to bake it and she said it took forever for us to find any . . . so I said is it old and she said no, it is from a brand new box - oh great, can't wait to dig right in. Â It was nothing special, just like the rest of the food.
I won't be rushing back.
My husband and I, new to the area and tired after a day of apartment hunting, stopped in for dinner. Â I ordered the calamari and a bowl of French Onion Soup. Â Both were quite disappointing. Â The calamari was tossed with some banana peppers and grated cheese (tasted like asiago). It was not lightly breaded and certainly was not fresh (more like frozen I believe). Â I love calamari, but this was not good at all. Â The French onion soup had great cheese on top, but the soup was way too salty to eat. Â Very disappointing.
My husband ordered the Southwest Chicken salad. Â The presentation was wonderful and he said it tasted good, but not anything special.
We were seated in a quieter area as this place is a bar that can probably get really noisy. Â Our waiter was very professional, attentive and got everything right.
If a coupon is offered, I might go back and try something else, but at those prices, I would rather get better food.
Only came here because I had a living social deal that made it worth it...toherwise I'd skip it and go to Luna down the street for happy hour.
So we walk in to 6 employees milling about and ask for a booth by the bar. The manager shows us to the one right next to the kitchen door even though they're all empty...thanks buddy. So we wait....and wait...and finally go back to the mgr to ask if there's a server working in the area. Oh, he responds, I'll go find her.Thanks again buddy .
So we get a couple beers and the ahi tuna, which comes out semi warms with pieces of silver running through it, bad trimming done by some inept prep cook.
Ok, let's try some chips and queso, oh wrong, stale cold chips. After one bite and pushing it away the server, who is doing a great job despite her inept manager, says oh "well it got cold so they taste that way I can get another"
No thanks, and she offers to take it off the bill. Good girl!
So let's just get a couple chicken sandwiches and call it a day. Ahh...success!
Perfectly made, correct toppings, sides and dressings.
So that, and the fact the server turned out to be really great, is all that saved this visit for us.
From now on, it's either just drinking or sandwiches to go, the rest is all subpar.
And it was as loud as a football game in there!
The place where many of the Feather sound cats go to put the "happy" in happy hour. This place gets stacked with dudes that are employed, and coug's lookin for some suga. Due to the fact I'm employed i came here to try and tame myself a coug. Unfortunately I was unsuccessful, even though the chunky one at the end of the bar was eye fcking the shit out of me; maybe next time big girl, maybe next time.
Anywayysss this place is definitely worth checking out. Food's solid, drink specials are decent, and the big girls are horny. So if ur into it, do ya thing playas doooo yaaaaa thinggggg
I have so many happy memories at Courtside, but that's not why I like it. I like it because it's always fun, has great decor and the food is consistently good.
Don't let the "sports bar" label scare you. This is not like your typical sports bar. It's much more upscale than most and the food is definitely not bar food. It seems to attract a large happy hour crowd which can cause it to get very loud inside, so be forewarned.
On this visit, I had the Chicken Ciabatta sandwich, which was piled high with bacon, lettuce, onion, cheese and ranch dressing. It made for a delicious, though messy, sandwich. Hubby had a House Salad with Tilapia. He said it was good, but there was so much lettuce he couldn't eat it all. The other ingredients were just placed on top of a huge bowl of lettuce. My daughter got the French Dip sandwich, which she said liked. She commented that the meat was very tender. All in all, everyone had an enjoyable meal, probably also due in part to our attentive server. We'll be back soon to make more memories.
Went to Courtside Grille on a Saturday afternoon with a group of eight. We were seated quickly and given menus, drink orders were taken quickly as well. This is a kind of upscale sports bar. It is spacious, bright, indoor and outdoor seating. Lots of TVs and a nice environment. Orders came out quick and correct. No one raved, but no fails either. After lunch, a few of us decided to stick around and take it outside. Got to love Florida in January! There are cigars for sale at the front counter, very reasonable prices and a decent selection. Good service, good food, cigars, outside bar service all mean I will be back next time I am in the area!
Review Source:I came here based on a suggestion from a friend and it was pretty good. I started off with the fried calamari, which was flavorful since it was mixed with banana peppers and asiago cheese. I have never had calamari this way and it was fantastic. However, I wish the calamari would have been fresh... the waitress said it was, but it tasted frozen to me. For my meal, I ordered the lunch portion of salmon, it was pretty good. I liked how it was seasoned.
The service was friendly, but a little bit slow. I also really liked how they give you huge glasses of water so that I did not have to continue waiting for refills. I liked the decor of the restaurant and I would like to go back and night to enjoy the outdoor bar.
Working in the area, my co-workers frequent Courtside Grille often for Friday happy hour. Some probably for every happy hour, but as I live across the bridge, I've only made it out during Friday events.
The place is large with at least 2 bars. We usually take the bar open to the patio as there are smokers in my group. There are two pool tables, a couple arcades, tvs everywhere and of course the dining areas. Still haven't tried the food yet, though.
Their beer selection isn't great - the reason you come is $1 bud, miller & coors drafts. Sure, I can't physically drink bud, and miller is just slightly more flavored, but for $1, you can have a few mugs while you talk with your co-workers, check out sports and then head out.
Expect a sports bar and you won't be disappointed. Wide variety of beer, flat screen TVs from every angle, pool tables and an outdoor bar area make this place a winner. The food is good but unremarkable. While some more adventuresome offerings can be found on the menu like crab legs, ahi tuna and the like, stick with the burgers, sandwiches and appetizers and you won't be disappointed.
Review Source:Food quality is quite excellent. The blackened Mahi Mahi was seasoned well with a great texture. The twice-baked potato was delectable and the acai blueberry martini was light, flavorful, and nice with the meal.
Customer service was the utmost professional and timely. I would definitely eat here again.
Ate here for dinner mid week. Â
Service was fine. Â Seated immediately. Â Waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. Â No complaints.
As you can tell from the name, the place is a sports bar. Â As we entered it just seemed LOUD, but we were seated in an area that was relatively quiet allowing for conversation.
Ordered the Buffalo chicken sandwich with house fried potato chips (chips off the truck but cooked on site). Â It was fine. Â Nothing special
Had the fried cheesecake with vanilla ice cream. Â Once it arrived I realized i had had this before at another restaurant. Â Some kind of cheesecake concoction dipped in a batter and deep fried. Should have passed...
Who knew that the Courtside Grille would be the most happening place in St. Petersburg on a recent Friday night? Â Well obviously my friend did, as this is the place we agreed to meet to catch up over dinner and few beers.
Courtside is located just over the Howard Frankland bridge from Tampa so it is conveniently located to both cities. Â This place is huge with an outside patio that runs the length of the building and a great bar area.
Service was spot on and we even got free beer and keychains from the "Miller Lite girls" as they walked around the bar.
Surprisingly, the food was good. Â I had the grouper with rice and mixed vegetables and my friend had the salmon. Â Both were perfectly prepared and came out quickly.
Dinner for two with a couple of drinks was only $65 so you can't beat that either. Â Parking made me laugh for when the lot filled up-the locals just pulled into a grassy field and left their cars . .so when in Rome . . . . . .
Good music, good food, excellent service in a lively, fun bar. Â Pretty good for St. Pete.
Courtside Grille is definitely a great sports bar. The food is a lot better than regular bar food but this isn't a regular bar. Great T.Vs all over the place anywhere you sit or stand you will have a great view of a television.
I have had a few of the pasta seafood dishes and they have all been spectacular, but have heard from my friends that their other food is very good as well. Other than happy hour or some special night the drinks and beer are a little more pricey than average but, you pay for the atmosphere.
Another nice thing to keep in mind, when there is a big game on television they will have a beer/drink special even if it is in the middle of the week. For example, during the the NBA playoffs, while the Orlando Magic were making their Finals run, every night there was a game on, they had $2 Miller Light drafts. It is a great place to watch a game and you add in a drink special, it is hard to beat.
You really aren't going to find a nicer sports bar.
We arrived with our business guest around 11:30 and were immediately seated. There were some people there, but it was not crowded. It was very comfortable for lunch, enough people there so you didn't feel like others could listen to your conversation - but not so loud you couldn't hear across the table.
Jamie was our server and she was EXCELLENT.....came right over after we sat down to get drink orders (and was right back with them), made good recommendations on what to have, and was very pleasant. She gets a "gold star".
The food was much better than the night before. I tried the salmon (excellent, perfectly cooked) with mashed potatoes (lovely), Alex had the Thai pasta and ate every noodle, and our guest Andy had the french dip (he loved it) with the onion straws.
The food arrived quickly and was served hot, and Jamie kept our drinks fresh. She was quick with the bill and ringing us up so we could get our.
Great lunch spot!
Iced Tea (2 @ 2.50) 5.00
Lemonade 2.50
French dip 10.95
Onion straws 1.00
Grilled Salmon 11.95
Thai Pasta 8.95
Total - 43.18**
**this was an excellent value
I agree that this is a nice, upscale bar & grill. The tuna sashimi is excellent and all of the food tastes great. The atmosphere caters to the Feather Sound and Carillon residents, which is to say it's going to be a little more pricey, but you can get a decent meal for under $25 if you don't order alcohol.
There no shortage of LCD televisions and the bar has a nice layout. The mixed drinks are about the same you would pay a the Blue Martini.
A nice, upscale bar & grill. Â One of the owners is former NBA player Matt Geiger. Â
Lots of great food choices, very spacious, impressive. Â You can get anything from steak to a burger. Â Nice outdoor patio, just an all-around good experience. Â My wife and I came here for an early dinner / late lunch so it wasn't crowded...not sure how it would be once it gets hopping.
