FLORIBBEAN EATERY AND CATERING – American
On Central Avenue in St. Petersburg's Grand Central District, The Floribbean Eatery and Catering runs a counter-service kitchen built on made-from-scratch Caribbean fusion, drawing on Cuban, Mexican, and Caribbean flavors. The signature bowl is The Yardbird, smoked paprika chicken over coconut rice with plantains, ginger black beans, and jerk aioli, alongside house-pickled onions, jalapenos, and tropical spiked juices and Caribbean beers. Doors stay open into midnight on weekends, and the same kitchen caters graduations, corporate meetings, and parties. Regulars praise the flavor-packed bowls and a staff that walks first-timers through the menu, though the room runs warm on busy nights.
