20250225_212652

In case you haven’t already heard the great news, after several months of post hurricane repairs and renovations Middle Grounds Grill, located 10925 Gulf Blvd, in Treasure Island has been fully open with full menu, bar, dining room, and outside dining also. ***However, will be closed from 5/12/25- 5/19/25 to receive a new roof.*** Middle Grounds Grill has been serving Treasure Island with the best steaks and seafood since 2006, and has been family owned and operated since 1971 as Robby’s Pancake House prior to the opening of Middle Grounds Grill.

With multiple generations of local ties to the gulf beaches and deep sea fishing, Middle Grounds Grill is able to provide the freshest and highest quality seafood available. Their awesome bartenders have been serving Middle Grounds Grill with the best martinis and craft cocktails for nearly 2 decades, along with over 150 select wines to choose from, and offer a wine lover’s 1/2 price bottled wine special (up to $200) every Wednesday. 

Middle Grounds Grill has something for everyone Including: certified Angus beef steaks, lamb shank, pastas, delicious gluten free menu, nightly fresh features, and much more! If you see Chilean Seabass or Hogfish dishes on their nightly features, they’re a must get and some of my favorite chef creations! Their portobello mushroom is a must try appetizer also! Middle Grounds Grill is Open Tuesday-Sunday at 4:30 pm and offers nightly happy hour specials along with their daily dinner features. They have Happy Hour in the bar from 4:30 pm to 6:00 pm and offer an early dinner menu from 4:30 pm to 5:30 pm. With Live Entertainment Every Night!!

Middle Grounds Grill’s extensive history of serving Treasure Island the most savory and delectable dishes, only made hurricane Helene’s devastation and closure a greater loss for many whom regularly enjoyed their amazing food, drinks and incredible ambiance. Their awesome family values were also demonstrated when despite going through their own devastation, extensive renovations and personal losses, they held benefit events in their outside patio for their staff. Although they were unable to serve their fabulous food, they had live music, select wine, gift cards, raffles, t-shirts and Robby’s iconic pancake mix available while raising money and collecting donations for their staff. It was a heartwarming experience to see how Middle Grounds Grill came together for not only their staff but for all their local regulars that needed the community fellowship while dealing with the devastation Hurricane Helene and Milton left us with. 

 Check out how beautiful their post hurricane renovations turned out!

Although saddened that their gorgeous tropical fish collection didn’t survive the hurricanes and long electrical outages am pleased to see their newest editions: Nemo, Dory and Friends.

Despite all the devastation, Treasure Island Beach is back to being one of the most gorgeous Florida beaches just feet from Middle Grounds Grill and am grateful to enjoy the ambiance of their awesome renovations and reopening. Unfortunately many Gulf Beach residents are still without livable homes, while many businesses have yet to reopen, including: Treasure Island, Madeira Beach, and St Pete Beach USPS locations. Fortunately they hope to be reopened by the end of May. The Don CeSar reopened March 26th, while Thunderbird Beach Resort recently announced it’s upcoming demolition with plans to rebuild. Treasure Island Chase bank is still closed while their St Pete Beach and Madeira locations are open. Unfortunately they were unsure of reopening date for their Treasure Island location. St Pete Beach and Pasadena Wells Fargo locations are still closed. Wells Fargo Pasadena is projecting a reopening date in July, however their St Pete Beach location will remain closed indefinitely.

Although Treasure Island and surrounding Gulf beach homes and establishment reconstruction have a ways to go, grateful that Middle Grounds Grill has been back serving the Gulf beaches with the best steak and seafood available. If you’re looking for impeccable food, incredible ambiance, and to have an amazing time, Middle Grounds Grill has it all!! Book your reservation now at 727.360.4253.
