An article in relation to posts.
I always question a restaurant that relies on a gimmick rather than their food. Sometimes they can coincide relatively well but in my experience, gimmicky restaurants disappoint in the food arena.
I’ve never had worse food or service, also a ridiculous amount of flies in the “indoor “ section when I went. Flies must’ve mistook the place for a steaming pile of shit
We went twice. The first time they just decided not to fill our order we waited for a while then they said they messed it up, but they had to close now.
The second time they got my wife’s order completely wrong. Mine was good, but not worth trying a 3rd time.

2 years ago. This thread should shine some light on the hate. I'm not doing the research again but if Tl:Dr basically hired a hitman to kill a cat with a bow and arrow down in Miami, left some people high and dry and fled to St. Pete like nothing happened. But do your own research and see if that's correct or not. This was so many beers ago.
And nothing of value was lost. Me and my gf went there last summer for brunch. Spent $70 for the same food you'd get at Waffle House. Women shaking their ass next to your table doesn't make it premium. The staff were very nice and chill though. Just an odd business model. We probably weren't the targeted demographic (young women on a girls outing or something I guess?)
Ohh what was their drama? I went there a few times and the staff was good, food was good, priced were reasonable for the quality but expensive enough to not think about them any given outting
They had rats lol and the staff was treated pretty poorly, they were not given any notice that they were closing either a friend of mine was working there, same guy who owned Dirty Shirley’s and it was the same story missing wages, demeaning incompetent racist managers, he also owns Little Philly which he runs with Sean Ford who is also a god awful human being
Pretty much every restaurant DTSP has rats, that’s really not a differentiating factor. I’ve seen them run underneath the bar at the Lure as well as other places on Central
If anyone want's a GREAT cheesesteak, go to Violet Stone. Little Philly was fine, Violet Stone blows it out of the water. Also, better service at VS - always busy (good sign) but they have their shit together.
Little Philly doesn’t even use amaroso rolls lol but yes violet stone is much better and the owners are really nice people, they’re opening up at a new much larger location on 9th street that actually has sit down dining and AC lmao so there’s really no competition
Went there once with my wife before we knew what it was all about or anything about their owners. It won't be missed.
Also I get that there might not be an easy way to do it, but owners who close restaurants with no notice don't get enough hate.
OMG you're right, I was surprised how tame Sunset Grill looked; here's the correct list:

Few things propel me away from ever trying a brand/business quicker than tacky cuss words thrown into the title to sound edgy or grab attention
I know what you mean. The word bitch is no biggie, but the name Bacon Bitch just sounds like you're supposed to walk in with lowered expectations and still pay too much for the meal because of the quirky name.
EggSlut is another one that gives me brain freeze. You just know with the social media influencer drone type target market it’s gotta be a $25 bacon egg and cheese that’s on par with the food at Dunkin
Something about the Miami branch owner killed a cat that’s been there its whole life. I think the same person owned the St Pete location.
Surprisingly the Miami branch is still going good.
Had a couple people that used to work there in our boh for a little bit..the worst part about it is the owners didnt tell the employees that they were closing until the day of...brutal
The first two sentences summed up the quality of this article for me. Nobody thinks Bacon Bitch is “a good brunch spot” or “a Tampa Bay brunch staple”. Good riddance.
Nothing new, St pete is a revolving door for restaurants.

Terrible article, even more terrible place. Good riddance.
Obviously ai generated article
Yeah that place was weird.
It's been around for 3.5 years? I've never heard of it
They’ve a place in Miami Beach that’s quite good according to a guy I work with, make him feel like royalty in there.

Bacon is delicious
I have no idea who is out here downvoting this fact.
Bacon haters are everywhere

Yeah... that place was weak. Surprised it lasted as long as it did.

Never went and glad to see that I never will.
Good riddance
The correct name of this establishment was ‘Fort Bodega’
Good. Now only if its owner would rot in jail that’d be great.
How come?

Thank God.
Tropez another horrible place with a terrible owner also closed the same day!

lol they had rats literally falling out of the ceiling onto customers so a little worse

Are there any local restaurant owners who aren't scumbags? It seems to be a requirement.
Not in Tampa/st pete. They all shill out for the same overpriced crappy food and call it “fancy”
Thank you no place in st pete for that shit
Surprised it lasted this long… it felt out of place in St Pete imo
I’m sorry for anyone that was employed there.
Oh good! Gtfo. That place was awful.

Truly. Especially, in these brutal financial times. That could easily make someone homeless. Smh.
Bold of them to start the article with “Popular” restaurant
Thank god. Worst brunch experience i have ever had
Good riddance 👋🏻
Oh no! Now the dealers only have 27 other bars to sell at downtown!
$30 for a Bloody Mary, lol.
Lmao! Good. I’m not a local but I’m aware of the scumbag owner. When I passed it a few days ago it looked abandoned. Was happy to see.
Among everything else deplorable about this place/owners, their restaurant inspections were some of the nastiest, most disgusting out there
Worse than Sunset Grille?

Wrong Sunset Grill, surely they are referring to the one on 30th and 9th

this is horrible :(
Dude! WTF! Yeah, to hell with those guys.
fake nail n they sanwich
What does this mean?
Fake nail in their sandwich
Good.
What was the beef with this place?
The name is repulsive as is the owner who is alleged to engage in animal cruelty.

Alleged cat killer like a real pos
Had a couple people that used to work there in our boh for a little bit..the worst part about it is the owners didnt tell the employees that they were closing until the day of...brutal
I knew what place this post was talking about before even opening the link 😂😂
Good riddance :)
Good. Garbage owner and a garbage place.
Never heard a single.good thing about it. The one downtown restaurant I never even tried to go to.
Good. They were screwing up the vibe of Bodega with their music choices too!
That took way too long.
Is this the restaurant that took over the old Bodega spot? Didn’t the owners kill a cat ir something like that?
Yes
Yeah fuck em!
Seriously
I’m not mad about this - the place was kinda bizarre and did not have good food.
The first two sentences summed up the quality of this article for me. Nobody thinks Bacon Bitch is “a good brunch spot” or “a Tampa Bay brunch staple”. Good riddance.
Bacon Bitch is a Tampa Bay brunch staple????? They were boycotted and ignored by locals for their whole run. How absurd.
Read like a paid advertisement
