Stella's

We picked up an old friend and had lunch there. We ate outdoors and it was very nice. My wife and I had Reuben sandwiches and she had the french fries which were very good and I had the very good coleslaw as a side. Our friend had eggs benedict and enjoyed it.

Stella’s in Gulfport offers a fun brunch vibe with solid classics. My wife loved the avocado toast, creamy avocado on sourdough with your choice of egg (She went over medium), and paired it with a mimosa. I enjoyed the corned beef hash. It was tender and hearty and I paired it with a Bloody Mary. Friendly service, fair prices (food around $12-16ea, total around $60), and a must-try spot. A little wait on the food, but it was very busy. 4.5/5 stars.

We had a delicious breakfast. I had the eggs Benedict which came with hash browns. Really tasty! Hubby had the special pumpkin bread French toast which came with two eggs and choice of meat (he chose turkey sausage -- the other options were bacon, ham, or sausage patties). He also got a fruit bowl, which had strawberries, honeydew, grapes, and bananas in it. The food arrived quickly. We liked everything and enjoyed sitting outside in their very large patio area.

I was pleasantly surprised With the brunch menu. The food was delicious. The Service was very attentive and the atmosphere relaxing. Would highly recommend for A weekend brunch!

Beth was an amazing and fun server! The food was delicious and the mimosa only had to word "orange juice" whispered at it. 5 stars!

My wife raved about this restaurant so we decided to check it out. There were too many issues with our visit to overlook and it was disappointing. The inside seating was hotter than outside so we chose that option. I had ordered the fried green tomatoes and the pierogis along with water and coffee. Shortly after our drinks, the green tomatoes came out - although crunchy and hot, they were not very flavorful and had a drizzle of chipotle aioli; they were okay but wouldn't recommend them although they were a 'Stella Favorite". Our food came out after about 15 minutes or so and both plates had issues. My wife ordered an Irish omelette and I ordered the Deep South Burger. My wife's omelette was incorrect and they gave her a ham and cheese. Her hasbrowns were undercooked and the English muffin was butterless. My food came out with cold fries. After about 5 minutes without a checkup, I had to physically take our plates inside to let them know of our issues. I had asked the waitress to cancel the pierogis but she said she never even ordered them - although I talked to her about them for a while. They ended up remaking my wife's plate and my fries. I had a very hard time believing they didn't just refry my old fries as they were super crispy brown and not a fresh golden color (and it looked like a fry I but into originally was re-served) so I ended up not eating them after a few bites. My burger was a solid 2 out of 10. They advertise it as a smashburger but it is NOT a smashburger. It had a meatloaf like consistency and not a smashburger. The waitress apologized and said they'd take 15% off - to which at that point didn't care - I was just happy to pay and move on. She took a while and came back and told us they comped our meal and invited us back with 2 free meal tickets. It was a nice gesture and honestly they didn't have to. I topped the waitress $20 and we left. All in all, it was a pretty bad meal and if they had just gave us a 15% discount, I'd have never gone back let alone recommended them. Given the poor execution, I'd have expected at least 1 plate comped. We'll give this place another try but don't know when that will be.

Absolutely Delicious!! My son had the breakfast burrito. He said it wasn't just good it was a experience!! Husband had country fried steak breakfast. He really enjoyed it. I had the Banana bread french toast. Outstanding. No syrup needed. I highly recommend you come here

Downtown Gulfport is one of the best kept secrets in the area. Stella's has great food and atmosphere. Definitely recommend the mahi BLT!

Brunch at Stella's feels like the kind of morning you wish every weekend could be. The sunlight hits the tables, conversations hum, and before the coffee even lands, you already know you're in for something special. The menu reads like a love letter to comfort food with a coastal twist -- generous plates, bright flavors, and that unmistakable "made with love" energy. My dish came out hot, colorful, and downright photogenic, but it tasted even better than it looked. The eggs were silky, the home fries crispy in all the right places, and the biscuit? Golden and glorious. What makes Stella's unforgettable, though, is the vibe. It's got this effortless charm -- where locals chat like old friends and visitors instantly feel like part of the neighborhood. The staff somehow manage to be attentive, funny, and real, all at once. Gulfport's heart beats right here at Stella's. If you want a true taste of St. Pete's soul -- a place where sunshine, flavor, and good energy all meet -- start your day here. One visit and you'll understand why brunch at Stella's isn't just a meal -- it's a mood.

Been waaaay too long since I popped into Stella's. When they first opened years ago, I crowed because at last, Gulfport had DECENT food! Other places on the G-strip have come along or changed owners which upped the game but Stella's is still a stand out. Even when the place is slammed, the staff remain friendly (plenty of staff get frazzled during a rush) and a little patience on the wait for a drink or food at times like this is much appreciated. I was torn between the cuban quesadilla and short rib grilled cheese. Ultimately, chose the latter because I wanted to try their potato salad. The sandwich was great, the potato salad tasted like Publix and a very, very skimpy portion. But the sandwich made up for it. We also had a couple boozy coffee bevs from the clever drink menu but again, I would have preferred a proper 12oz cold brew vs the 'martini serving' size that came in a plastic cup. It was delicious but when I order coffee, even a coffee cocktail, Just give me a proper amount of caffeine please haha! We also had the fried, ricotta stuffed zucchini 'flowers' which, nice concept but a bit on the bland side. My friend had the chicken salad and now THAT was a generous portion, came in a large metal bowl filled loaded with chicken and a heaping scoop of avocado. I'll definitely come back sooner rather than later to try that Cuban Quesadilla and maybe one of their weeknight dinner specials which also sound great, especially, prime rib (yes please!) and everybody loves a wings and salad night.

Can never decide when I know I'm not coming back. The biscuits and gravy looked promising for breakfast but I already had that and I'm way over any sad calories budget I had. Don't wanna order Mexican food in the South where it's not the specialty and even though the hangover burger looked cool I ended up with the Deep South burger. They said this place is known for fried green tomatoes. As you can see this burger can't be eaten like a regular burger so I just had pieces. And today I learned I do not like fried green tomatoes so there's that part. But it's solid otherwise and fries are great. As far as the venue goes. Overall this area is definitely uh. Liberal. Very clearly. Like a version of Newport Beach that West Hollywood took over, is the best I can compare it to. Its pretty and very obviously well off. Just came here to sight see and this street is the one to do it on apparently.

Quite a neat place plenty of outside seating which works well as long as the weather holds. Never checked if they have actual indoor dining. Staff is friendly and attentive and it has a large menu and large drink (alcohol) availability. Food was served really fast and it was hot and done really well.

Yum! The salads are huge and very refreshing on a warmer type of day. Very friendly service

Stopped in for brunch at Stella's while visiting Gulfport, an eclectic little artist town with tons of charm. The place was pretty busy (unsurprising for a weekend), but I was lucky to snag a quick indoor table. Major win, because it was hot AF outside. I went with the Chicken Fried Steak with a side of fruit. The chicken was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and surprisingly moist inside. The fruit salad was a standout: fresh, full of berries and pineapple, none of that filler melon nonsense. Love that. My eggs were a little rubbery, which knocked it down a notch for me, but overall still satisfying. Also tried the Spanish Omelette with chorizo. Solid flavor, and it came with a side of fresh cinnamon raisin bread. The bread had great potential but was served dry with no butter or jelly I would've loved just a little something to bring it to life. Service was top notch. Our waitress was super friendly and genuinely warm, which really made the experience feel personal despite the busy pace. Would definitely come back next time I'm in town, just maybe ask for jelly ahead of time.

Always a hit! Three friends were visiting for the weekend and of course I had to bring them to Stella's for a taste of Gulfport. The food is always delicious and the newly added vegan menu makes it a breeze to order! The hit for our table was the pierogi nachos. I did not try it but my friends reported it was divine.

The food is reliable. Good breakfast options. I have not had dinner there yet. Service is usually pretty decent. The outdoor patio is large and inviting. Good dog friendly.

We had the best time at Stella's! A lady working at our campground recommended this place for a local spot and we are so glad we stopped by. I got the black bean cakes, which were delicious!! Happy to stop by a place with such good vegetarian options. Would recommend to anyone, especially people from out of town! It's in a very cute, walkable area.

Had so much fun at Stella's! Plenty of outdoor seating with shade and fans. The food was yummy and service was quick. I will definitely be back for the pancakes! Those were my favorite. Also with a great location in Gulfport.

Positives: Yummy food (pancakes with to die for cinnamon butter, omelettes, hashbrowns with a perfect crisp level), short wait to be seated & can accommodate parties of 6 no problem. Great patio that's dog friendly and open, and a cocktail menu with variety to choose from. Extra Perk: They had a kids menu! Downside: We were missing one part of an order that never got put in by the server, and at the end of the meal the tab given was correct, but I ended up paying for someone else's meal. We had to call the server back to have the transaction voided and then re-pay for the meal. Note: there is only one restroom for patrons so the line is out the door and down the ramp... plan accordingly if you have to use the bathroom!

Got the breakfast burrito...Thought it was very average...Waitress was good and they have nice outdoor seating.

Really wonderful experience. Courtney is the best server I've had in a loooong time. She was super polite and offered solutions when I had a hiccup with my order. Good coffee and iced tea. They custom make it to order with liquid cane sugar. My husband had the special which was super tasty he said. It was a mojo pork hash which has tons of flavor without being spicy. Right up his alley! I stole a plantain which was delicious. I started with the bean patty wrap which had too much cumin so they swapped me for a veggie stack which you can get vegan or vegetarian. It was awesome. We will definitely be back when in Gulfport next! Thank you!

Stella's has been our go-to breakfast spot in St. Pete for years! Their menu offers something for everyone, from simple egg dishes to more elaborate options, and they serve both breakfast and lunch. We usually order the two-egg breakfast, which comes with your choice of meat, potatoes or tomatoes, and toast. Everything is always cooked to perfection and served quickly, no matter how busy they are. Plus, the prices can't be beat! Stella's is also very dog-friendly, with about 95% of their seating outdoors. In the summer, I recommend wearing light, breathable clothing--it can get hot despite the ample shade and fans. If you're in Gulfport or St. Pete and looking for a new breakfast spot, Stella's is absolutely worth a visit!

Grabbed Stella's last week for a quick lunch and I was super impressed. I absolutely love a good smashburger and Stella's delivered. The bun was soft, the cheese was creamy and the burger patty was just the right amount of salty, peppery and greasy- YUM! Gulfport is one of my favorite places in the Tampa Bay Area, it's relaxing and the vibes are always so positive, and places like Stella reinforce that. Our service was casual, friendly and swift. 10/10 recommend!

Stella's was a very cute location and felt like a very traditional Florida waterside restaurant! The theming was fun and the menu was pretty basic, something for anyone in your party to order. I got the avocado toast which was just fine, not the typical avocado toast i'd like but I still enjoyed it. My sister got plain toast and crispy bacon since she's pretty picky and the toast came out somewhat burnt and the bacon was a bit soggy and not crispy. Server never filled our waters and was pretty un-attentive, we were at a two top high table near the door so i'm guessing she just forgot we were there. We got a mimosa flight as well which was standard and pretty good to share for two people. Overall it was an okay experience, I would be inclined to come back and try again since I know so many people love the restaurant, maybe it's more of a lunch spot.

Mixed review. Beautiful day, we sat at one of many umbrella tables. Nice live acoustic music. Server brought drinks, spilled on my partner's leg, took our order and we never saw her again. Food delivered to us from kitchen staff. No napkins, drink refills, condiments - never came with the check. Had to walk around to find someone to pay. Here's the thing, though. The Fried Green Tomatoes are amazing perfection. Crispy on the outside, thick green tomato slabs, seasoned & fried beautifully. Smash burger pretty Good too. Skip the chicken tenders. Nice place to sit outside and relax, recommend

Can not cook a decent hamburger, wings were puny and dry, the only good thing were the servers and the house cab. Music is decent and the audience participates.

Well Stellas is well known in the area and it has a fun vibe,. Probably, don't get the quiche.. food quality was okay if you're interested in breakfast after you've been drinking and you need the extra grease this is be place place to go. Service is slow. It has a fun vibe and serves a consistent breakfast.

Had a wonderful morning at Stella's! It's so pleasant sitting out on the patio enjoying coffee and breakfast Our server was very friendly and on top of everything. I really appreciated their vegan options and the vegan avocado toast and hash browns were amazing! My husband enjoyed the banana bread French toast too. Would definitely recommend and will certainly be back!

Always good food and great service at this very local place. I appreciate that they worked hard to accommodate our large group too on our last visit.

Absolutely a wonderful treat for a breakfast in the area. The outside seating, service, and menu were absolutely wonderful. The food was very fresh and tasty! Everyone enjoyed their food, and ate everything! Definitely a place to return to on my next trip.

I'm so happy I tried this gem! It's on a little strip that I think must be "downtown" Gulfport. It's next to Stetson law school's campus. There is outdoor seating, bar seating and a few tables inside. I opted for inside. I asked a gal near me if she knew the WiFi password and she said "I should probably know that since I'm the owner." Then she promptly asked a gentleman who know. All of the staff was super friendly. I ordered a "Stella's Favorite" the homemade corned beef hash. It was interestingly made into a latke potato and beef hash kind of thing- unique. I devoured it so I didn't take a picture in time. But I did include a picture from their website I got the cinnamon raisin toast with their homemade cinnamon butter and it was quite enjoyable. I'll be back! I absolutely must try their fried green tomatoes. Highly recommend for brunch or lunch!

Arrived at 2:15pm. Bad service . Ordered burger specials for 3 people . 3 x $7 deal = $21. 2 cocktail specials. Rum Runner. $5 each. Total $10. Other diner ordered beyond his burger special a Perogie special = $6 Also ordered a doggie burger for our dogs = $6. Total should be $48 plus tax Poorly attentive server charged $66. This restaurant used to be great. I will not return.

**** Review 163 **** While waiting for my car to be done at Gulfport Garage, the owner recommended this local gem. He was not wrong! This is actually a pretty large establishment for where it's located. With plenty of outdoor and Indoor seating, you should have a hard time not getting seated fast. Staff is friendly, and service is fast. Even though it wasn't busy when I came, so your experience might differ is this place is rocking. The food was delicious! They're known for their Fried Green Tomatoes, which I can see why! Their description says they're marinated in buttermilk, but I believe they might do something similar to a chicken fried batter. They come served with a chipotle aioli, which I think takes them to the next level. Their Nola Omelette is something I haven't seen before, definitely a must try! It's packed with shrimp and andouille sausage. This comes with 1 side and a choice of toast. I ordered the cheesy grits and sourdough toast. The toast was actually really fresh and delicious. The grits were cheesy, but I do love me some buttery grits, so I added more butter. If you're in Gulfport and looking for a nice local, sit and relax breakfast place, then you need to give this place a try. Prices are comparable to First Watch type of establishments, but you get to support your local businesses. *** Also, this place is pet friendly!***

They have a great indoor / outdoor location on Gulf Blvd in Gulfport in the middle of the action. Lots of umbrellas and shade. Full bar with zing zang bloody mary's! Everything here is tasty. The fried green tomatoes with chipotle aioli are so good and the sauce is spicy (get on side to control the heat). Decent prices, fun atmosphere and friendly service. Good for groups. Usually a wait on the weekends. Enjoy!

Very filling and hearty meal. The biscuits were soft, the eggs were perfectly poached, and the gravy was savory and rich. The server was very informative and let us know extra information about the new dinner menu and the live music concerts they have in the weekdays. I also got a Hawaiian mimosa which was absolutely delicious .

It doesn't shock me one bit that Stella's has so many 5 star reviews, and I'm just here to add to that! The people that work here are so upbeat and kind. They meet you where you're at, and kindly answer any questions you have. My fav is the Breakfast Burrito with chorizo. UNREAL. I also loved their Pineapple Mimosa. I tried one of their alcoholic coffee- When Hell Freezes Over or something like that- and the alcoholic taste was toooo strong for my liking! Otherwise, I've loved everything I've gotten here. 10/10 dine-in and take-out service.

Cute spot in Gulfport close to the water. Very chill vibes with a large outside seating area. The food was quick and tasty. And service was friendly and quick.

It gives off a whole in the wall bar feel. The food tasted great though. I got the Gulfport Turkey club on sourdough with fries. The fries were so crispy and seasoned well! Service was a little slow but I understand that it was a Saturday afternoon and they had a wait time of 10min when I placed my name. A table opened up much faster than expected. They were packed on a Saturday afternoon.

Cute spot that always seems busy. We had an ok lunch but server seemed slow and mostly mia. We got their recommendations, and Banana French toast, Ruben (corned beef was a bit chewy), shrimp and grits (bit bland with barely cooked chunks of onion) were decent, but no standouts and none that we'd order again. I also really wish they didn't add starch or use prepackaged hollandaise sauce. It's not needed and also is no longer gluten free. Hollandaise is a simple sauce and should only contain 3 ingredients and seasoning.

This review is long overdue. I have been enjoying Stella's for several years and it remains one of my favorite breakfast spots on the "beach side" of the St. Pete area. Plenty of seating inside and out, but this place draws major crowds during high season. Always some really inventive specials and menu items - I had "perogi nachos" on my last visit. Friendly staff, nice gift shop next door with novel items and some local art. Gulfport has a great beach community vibe, and Stella's is at the heart of it.

This place had great reviews so we had to try it for breakfast. Even though it was cool outside, we persevered as I liked being outside. The menu has a bit of everything, so something for everyone. Our server brought our decaf coffee quickly and then I ordered a western omelet with sourdough toast. I didn't like any of the sides, but that was fine as a 3 egg omelet is big. I don't think I have ever seen food come so quickly. In under 5 minutes, someone from the kitchen brought our food. The omelet was huge, and hot. The toast was well buttered, which isn't always the case. We never saw our server as he was busy talking to other servers. Had to flag him down to get more coffee. I had checked in on Yelp and you get free coffee, which I showed to him, but when the check arrived, he hadn't deducted it. Overall, average food and not great service. Maybe I was comparing service to Pia Trattoria where I had eaten the previous night and it was fantastic.

Food was quite good, portions generous and selections are varied and plentiful. nice service personnel, and love the Jamaican mimosa! My frien said the margarita was also good and she is pretty picky about he 'ritas! Will absilutely return.

My wife and daughter went here for brunch. We sat outside, as it was a beautiful day. The menu had a lot of different options. I had a hard time choosing what to eat. Ultimately i went with the pierogi nachos. They were delicious. My wife got the veggie stack. She liked hers a lot, as well. If you're in the area, you gotta come and check out Stella's

Atmosphere - Very nice. The restaurant has a nice, eclectic feel. The patio has about a dozen four tops with every table a different style and make. Service - Good, could have been better. Our server started out well, but when a couple (with a 3 year old son) arrived and took the table next to us, we were virtually ignored. Food - Good. I ordered the Banana Bread French Toast with sausage and a two scrambled eggs. The sausage patties were large and tasted very good. Unfortunately, the star of the meal was just OK. The bread was barely grilled and so soggy that I needed a spoon to eat it. The flavor was fine, it just wasn't French Toast. Overall Value - Good. I am going to write this one off as a case where I ordered the wrong thing. The portion size is big and prices reasonable.

Came in during the off-season on a Friday morning and there was still a pretty good crowd. That's usually a good sign. Was sat immediately outside (inside was full). There were a few tables of folks outside, all wearing their hoodies. Of note, they had heaters stationed outside, but it was a balmy 62 degrees, so for me, it was comfortable without being sat next to a heater. The wait staff was friendly and on the ball. I opted to try a smattering of breakfast offerings. The biscuits and gravy were surprisingly good. Scrambled eggs, sausage patties, hash browns, and sourdough toast were all fairly standard, but seemed fresh/handmade. And I also tried the strawberry pecan cheesecake French toast...it was heavenly, albeit a bit rich, even for me. Still, it was a show stopper. Overall? Excellent breakfast joint that I'd highly recommend to anyone in the area.

WOW SO DOG FRIENDLY!! I LOVE this place even more now!! Great atmosphere, very friendly attentive staff, delicious food. Perfect for a casual day in Gulfport!

Last night we ended up at Stella's for dinner. Super casual outside with nice music playing by a guy on guitar. The service was super friendly. I believe Courtney was our server. Dinner Service is new for them. Lucky for us! My friend and I split the short rib grilled cheese and the mahi sandwich. Sides, chosen were potato wedges, perfectly cooked, and some refreshing coleslaw as well. The short rib, grilled cheese was a stand out. It had Gouda cheese on it and was just amazing at the first bite. Just simply delicious. Definitely going back again for that. This was a Monday night and had a nice little crowd. Look forward to going back.

This is a must every time I'm in town. Such a cute and pleasant atmosphere. Perfect breeze in the shade and very friendly staff. The food options are always on point. The carrot cake pancakes could use more carrot flavoring as it tasted like a regular pancake, but the cream cheese topping was fantastic. It's even better that dogs can join outside. I just love this place.

Ran up in here yesterday for a breakfast burrito to go. It was $22. I think that was crazy expensive. It did come with a splash of hashbrowns but yo it was mid. It was made with the salads and sour cream in it. I've been here before cuz I'm local and it's one of those places to take a friend that's in town for breakfast or lunch. I just think they tax tf out of you. But in this places defense it is highly touristic so there you go.

Great spot in a cool walkable part of the town. We had breakfast burritos and mimosas and it was delicious. There is outdoor seating which was nice to sit outside with our kids. Visiting from @cattlemanscoffee in Michigan

This is THE place to go for breakfast/brunch! They now have a happy hour and are serving dinner. I haven't had dinner there, yet, but I'm sure it's scrumptious. It is mostly outside seating with a few spots indoors. The food is always wonderful with fresh tastes, unique flavors, and filling enough to last for a day on the beach!

Food was average Service was "hasty" but they were busy Unfortunately, the mini split ac unit was directly above the counter where our food and drinks were placed. The unit dripped steadily, at first right into a drink which we of course moved. The server placed food there and it got dripped on. Once all food and drink was out of the drip line, we still had to deal with the periodic splash from the drip. Another unfortunate mishap was the number of flies buzzing around the counter, our food and drinks. We constantly had to wave them off. Won't be going back

Food- delicious and the coffee was wonderful. Service- fantastic and very laid back. No rushing and plenty of check ins to make sure we didn't need anything. Ambiance- neighborhood vibe is awesome. On Tuesday they have vendors lining the street selling wares, food... The outdoor dining was perfect. There were a few dogs that were a bit loud and aggressive to other dogs. No worries for us, but if you have dog fears you might want to eat indoors.

Stopped in for lunch and tried the Blackened Mahi BLT on sourdough and it was outstanding. Prompt, friendly service to boot. And I was able to sit at the counter instead of a table and that was nice. Cool little place.

Pirogies are OK, would not order again. Nice atmosphere. Service was good. First time here but will try other items

Awesome classic breakfast/brunch spot! Came for breakfast on a weekday with three other people and immediately got seated. I started with a cold brew and tried: + Simple egg breakfast with sausage, cheese grits and wheat toast + Strawberry pancake + Banana nut bread French toast The highlights were the pancake and French toast, but everything was super tasty. Great service, too. Like a diner outside!

My ham eggs Benedict was delicious. The home fries were cooked to perfection, and the pancake was yummy, yummy, yummy. The ambience was friendly and attractive. It was worth the drive to eat at Stella's. I would highly recommend!
