Sloppy Joe’s Bar & Grill – Good Food at The Beach

Kevin Godbee · Mar 27, 2019 · 2 min read

We recently paid a visit to Sloppy Joe's Bar & Grill at the Bilmar Beach Resort in Treasure Island. We heard they had some new items on the menu, and thought we would check it out. They are the main restaurant, and souvenir shop in the resort. (We made sure to get t-shirts while we were there too.)

It's a nice classy place (unlike the origins of the original in Key West - read the fun history here), with a relaxed atmosphere, and it sits right on the beach.

Here's what we had.

Fire Cracker Shrimp - Petite Shrimp Dusted with Seasoned Flour and Tossed with Red Pepper Fiery Sauce. This one was pretty good, medium spicy to please the largest crowd.

Black & Bleu Bites - Lightly blackened sirloin tips topped with caramelized onions and bleu cheese. This was one of my favorites. The meat was seasoned and seared perfectly, and the bleu cheese adds a nice sourness, saltiness, and creaminess to it. Lori doesn't like bleu cheese. I thought it was mouthwatering and delightful.

Sloppy Joe's calls their Cuban sandwich by the name of the capital city of Cuba, but it IS a mostly traditional Cuban, which is much appreciated. Ironically, the Cuban Sandwich was invented in Ybor City, not Cuba, so calling it "Havana" doesn't make sense, but the tourists probably have no idea anyway. It was very good, and almost made the Top 5 Cuban Sandwiches list.

Surf & Turf Burger - Angus Burger with Lobster, Melted Swiss Cheese, Topped With Lobster Sauce & a Grilled Shrimp. This one was a little messy, but good.

Gulf Coast Grouper Sandwich - Broiled, Blackened, Grilled or Fried with Lettuce and Tomato on a Brioche Bun. We had ours blackened. This is an excellent grouper sandwich, and our #1 favorite of all the items we had.

I've always loved cooking. When I was 6-years old I wanted to cook. When my mom said that she was just running to the neighbor's and would be right back, I climbed onto the kitchen counter and found Lipton Instant French Onion Soup Mix. By the time my mom returned, I was stirring the pot on the stove, and proclaimed; "Look Mom! I'm cooking!"

In High School, I took three different cooking classes and got an A in each. After getting my first apartment, I used to cook 5-nights a week, and go out two nights. An old girlfriend from decades ago had a brother-in-law that was a CEO of a trucking company, and he used to entertain in Manhattan quite a bit ... and he started taking us along.

This was when I learned about gourmet food and fine wine. For a couple of years, Lori and I went out about 4-5 nights a week, but now we have a better balance of 50/50 between cooking at home, and going out to the amazing restaurants we are so lucky to have in our beloved Downtown St. Petersburg.
