“ 10/10 every time! I've tried multiple things in the menu -- everything is good, every flavor compliments each other. Go-to takeout spot && I definitely crave it! ”
“ Excellent food and excellent service. The Thai rican dish is amazing. Simple decor but I love the chill vibe ”
“ Our friends took us to St. Pete's and recommended The Floribbean for dinner. After a quick glance at their online menu, I was excited to check out their jackfruit. Walking into the place for the first time, I became an instant fan of the island vibe atmosphere. A man, who may have been the owner, greeted us right away. He was friendly, great humor, and fun to talk to. Sadly, he shared with me that he removed jackfruit off the menu because it wasn't very popular so he suggested I get the Curry Tofu which is made with coconut milk. I like that the menu clearly marks all vegan options. Ordering is easy. I picked Gandules (pigeon peas with tamari and brown sugar), Curtido Slaw, and Chipotle Sweet Potatoes for my 3 sides. I had the Jerk Aioli for the sauce. This bowl also comes with a small garnish of crispy plantains. Every single element of my bowl was so wonderfully flavorful in their own way and I legit made "mmm yum" noises with each bite, raving about how good the food is. I don't have a lot of experience with Caribbean food so this was my first time having gandules and jerk aioli. BTW, while I loved the jerk aioli, I really didn't need it because the food is tasty on its own. https://bit.ly/4hW6iw6 This is one of those restaurants that I will absolutely make time for the next time I'm in the area. 5-stars!!! ”
“ Delicious food, friendly service--looking forward to our next visit! The Thai-Rican bowl is yummy! ”
“ The brased beef is AMAZING bursting with flavor! This is a MUST try! And the drinks are mixed with REAL homemade juices with a heavy pour! Great place, put your bucket list of To DO in St PETE ”
“ What chipotle/qudoba bowls should be like. Fresh, authentic, delicious ingredients. Quick, helpful service. Good juices that you can add liquor to. ”
“ Yum yum yum yum yum. My friend suggested we try this place out and I am so happy we did. The owner makes everything from scratch and was so friendly. Vegan options too! Meat was tender flavors were very complex and so delicious. I will be coming here very frequently. If you don't try this place you're missing out! ”
“ Oh my gosh this food was delicious! I love a good bowl, and this one did not disappoint. The coconut rice was so flavorful and soft, the beans had a good ginger taste to them, the plantains were cooked perfectly, and the salsa had a great flavor. There were so many other options as well, so I'll have to come back to try them! The cashiers were very kind and quick, and the ambiance is pretty nice with plenty of seating. I will definitely be coming back! ”
“ After a few drinks at 3 Daughters, we were getting a little hungry so we decided to take a short walk to the Floribbean. Here's my take on the experience: Quality of food: Good. You get to pick 3 sides to make a bowl or you can go with their signature bowls. We tried two of their signature bowls: Island Umami and the Yardbird. The Island Umami comes with smoked paprika chicken, coconut rice, chipotle sweet potatoes, sweet plantains, and miso sauce. The Yardbird has basically the same ingredients except for black beans instead of sweet potatoes and Jerk aioli instead of miso sauce. Both bowls were absolutely bursting with flavors and the portion size was huge! I would suggest splitting a bowl with someone next time especially because that coconut rice is super filling. Décor: kinda cool but could use more. They had a couple of little hula girl decorations made out of coconut. There wasn't much besides that other than the tables were also colorful. Cleanliness: okay. The tables were being kept mostly clean. Service: okay. The person taking the order was also the one that would create your bowl. They only had two people working on a Saturday night and both looked super tired and stressed. Price: reasonable. The bowls cost around $12 but the portion size is huge. If you're up for some healthy-ish food that's a little different than the usual then checkout The Floribbean. ”
“ Great restaurant near downtown! I was craving something healthy and that was open around 11am on a Monday and this place popped up on my google search. The restaurant is fairly large on the inside. I was greeted by the staff member there who went over the menu with me. Menu is pretty simple to understand and full of different food items you can mix and match within a bowl. I decided to go with the yardbird but instead of getting coconut rice I substituted it with brown rice. It had smoked paprika chicken, plantains, brown rice, ginger black beans and jerk aioli. The staff are generous and gave you a liberal amount of protein compared to similar style chains like chipotle for example but you are paying about $4 more. The flavors were magnificent! It was extremely delicious but I'm not sure if it fits the healthy food category but definitely don't mistake it for junk food. Overall great join with plenty of space and great staff. Food is also delicious! Will definitely come back again. ”
