I moved to this area three years ago, and Chattaway is one of my favorite restaurants by far. If my boyfriend was not a St. Pete native, I may have never even known it existed. Located on the corner of 4th St and 22nd Ave South, it is tucked away behind overgrown trees and appears to be nothing more than a corner store. Those same overgrown trees provide cool shade to the comfortable outdoor dining area.The atmosphere is casual and laid back with rows of picnic tables and cozy tables for two. There is an indoor dining area as well. Most nights there is live music provided in the courtyard for the diners to enjoy. The music selection varies with performances from Reggae, Jazz, and Acoustic bands or artists. The décor ranges from funky art to autographed pictures of various musicians and actors providing you with a lot to keep you entertained. Chattaway offers a parrot-head type bar area lined with T.V.’s and stools. This is a fresh twist on the usual sports bar environment.
While the atmosphere is easy going and comfortable, what is a great restaurant without great food? The Chattaway will not disappoint a hungry appetite. Their large, mouth-watering burgers are made fresh and topped with anything you like. Some say they are the “best burgers in St. Pete.” There is an assortment of menu items to choose from ranging fro Fish-n-chips and fresh green salads. They offer daily specials and I will tell you that Friday is stew day and it is delicious!
The prices are reasonable, two people can dine in or out for under $25.00. Take out is convenient, but the ambience and enchanting atmosphere will persuade you to kick back, relax, and enjoy the great food while you are there. If you are looking for casual dining and drinks with a taste of Florida, Chattaway is the perfect place! One last thing, be sure to bring cash because they do not accept Debit or Credit.
