Three of us had a late breakfast/ early lunch there a few days ago. We had to wait about 10 minutes for a table and it was well worth the wait. My eggs were perfectly scrambled, the bacon was thick and crispy and the biscuits and gravy were Delicious. One in our party had the meat loaf sandwich that was huge and tasty. The third in our party had eggs Benedict that she said were some of the best she ever tasted. The coffee was hot and fresh, the server was friendly and checked on us several times. I would highly recommend Trip’s diner to anyone

Visited twice to eat lunch. The first time was a total disappointment. Waited almost 40 minutes to be seated. Upon 2 inquiries I was twice told "next 5 minutes or so" There were empty tables, but possibly not the staff to serve them. After more than 35 minutes I left hungry. On past vacations I have eaten lunch there and am a big fan of their fried green tomatoes. IMHO the best I ever ate in St. Pete. Next time I passed I stepped in and asked to be seated at a table and was offered a stool at the counter which I declined. After inquiring about several empty tables I was offered a seat at a window table. Noticed a!so a sign advising guests that they no longer served dinner. I can only imagine that this was due to lack of staff. The young who served me was efficient and polite. Had the fried green tomatoes and for dessert a piece of excellent peanut butter pie. Both were excellent. The fried tomatoes were a large serving and too much for me to finish. Waitress offered to pack the remainder to go. Liked the food and service during my second visit.

This is a review of the Trip's Diner in Seminole which is owned by the same people in St. Pete. I have had two excellent ,meals there in the last 2 weeks (one lunch and one brunch). Both meals were excellent. The place is very clean and they are observing social distancing by using only about 1/2 of their tables. I have also eaten at the trip's in St. Pete and that one is excellent as well. Overall excellnt diner food and the staff are wonderful.

We meet friends every Wednesday morning at Tripp's. I had to give up on their eggs because they would always come out pretty much raw even though I ordered them medium. Lately I tried ordering eggs again, but even ordering them medium-to-hard, the eggs show up almost raw for the past three weeks. I try to complain, but nobody seems to care. The breakfasts are expensive, and their pancakes are tough, so it's back to a biscuit for me.

Found this while visiting the area. Great food and service. Very keto diet friendly. The server helped us order to save money since we didn’t want any sides. Build your own omelette with a great variety of cheeses and meats. Very kid friendly and even had many dog visitors. Parking can be challenging because it is Very popular. Breakfast is served all day and a large variety of food options for the whole family.

This review is based on only eating breakfast at this place. I ordered the Big Breakfast. I ordered my eggs over easy and my husband ordered scrambled. I highly recommend the scrambled eggs. They were cooked perfectly. The Big Breakfast also came with a gigantic pancake. Even though it was enormous, it was so fluffy and delicious! The bacon was thick cut and savory. The breakfast comes with homefries. I upgraded to the loaded homefries (Make ‘em Hot), which was pepperjack cheese and delicious jalapeños added. Wow! My husband and I are going to try to make these at home, they were that amazing. We also got cheese grits. We are from NC and I haven’t not enjoyed the grits at any restaurants there. I really enjoyed these. My husband would have preferred extra cheese, but I thought they were perfect. We sat on the patio and it was dog friendly.

I visit Trips every few months and it never disappoints. It is clean, the food is always fresh and delicious and the service is great. Our waitress was quick, happy, and helpful with recommendations and answering our questions. Our drinks were refilled quickly. We had delicious green fried tomatoes for an appetizer. One of us had the meatloaf sandwhich with a side of cheese grits, one had the Reds shrimp and grits, and I had the steak and cheese sandwhich. It was loaded with perfectly cooked onions, mushrooms, and peppers. Everything was delicious! The servings are more than ample. We went at an off time so there was no wait for a table. If there is a line it is worth the wait. I need to go back to try a hubcap pancake! Great varied, fun menu!

Before visiting, we read the menu. I saw the chicken salad sandwich and I could not wait to try it! We tried the onion strings to start while we waited for our meals. After a while, I was informed they were out of chicken salad :( (It happens) Ok, so I order an egg salad sandwich. A few minutes later, I am once again informed they just ran out. At this time, the other guests are receiving their meals. I then order the ham and swiss. I guess the menu was not as helpful as I was expecting a melted ham and swiss instead I got two super thick slices of lightly toasted sourdough with very thick slices of ham topped with semi melted swiss. A little bit of let down. The others in our party liked their food but nothing stood out.

Trips opened while we were away from St. Pete for several years. Upon returning home in 2013, we tried it for breakfast and was not impressed. The food was OK but we found the menu not very interesting as it did not provide much variety in choices or anything different and unique from other breakfast places. After 9 years and seeing the place crowded whenever we would pass it, we decided to give it a second try. We were extremely pleased to see an expanded breakfast menu from our first visit and items that you normally do not see on other breakfast menus such as gouda / blue / asiago cheeses for omelets, eggs benedict made with fried green tomatoes instead of an English muffin, and wonderful obviously homemade corn bread along with standard choices of toast / biscuit. These are just a few examples of their innovativeness which has greatly enhanced the breakfast offerings. We are very glad we gave this place a second chance. We look forward to future visits and highly recommend Trip's based on today's experience.

We decided on Trip’s for breakfast based on trip advisor. Maybe our experience was an anomaly but we certainly won’t be back. Service: very poor. Waitress had zero personality & not attentive. I had to flag her down to ask for a refill on coffee & I only had two cups total. She never came by with a pot?! About 10+ minutes after we ordered she came by to say it was going to be 15 minutes on biscuits. Since my sister ordered chicken & biscuits we decided to wait. I specifically asked that my food NOT be fixed until hers was ready to be fixed so we could eat together. After a short while, I noticed that food was sitting & sitting in the window. I got up to use the restroom & got a better view of it. Indeed it was mine. I watched it continue to sit there until the server loaded it up on her tray with other food & brought it to our table….. The chicken & biscuits with home fries were steaming. My food, a pancake, eggs, sausage, home fries was cold. The butter just sat in a glob on the pancake. The sausage was cold to touch & didn’t look fresh. It’s a frozen type patty like at a fast food restaurant. Potatoes were real but cold as well. Eggs the same. I voiced my concern about the food not being fresh. The server retrieved her manager who was hesitant to agree until she felt the sausage patty & pancake. Then she proceeded to place blame on a lack of kitchen staff. She offered to replace the food but I was grossed out & declined. Server never returned with coffee or to check back up really. Just delivered the check. It’s also very expensive. My sister had a chocolate milk, two chicken & biscuits with hashbrowns for $20.

The parking situation is virtually nonexistent and pathetic. After circling for over 20 minutes, I finally found parking on a distant side street. This place was absurdly crowded. People were standing along the sidewalk broiling in the sun waiting to get in here. Every single server here was grumpy, frowning, brusque, and harassed. There were squabbles between servers. Plates were crashing to the ground in the kitchen. Servers were yelling (screaming) orders to the kitchen at the top of their lungs. My two egg breakfast arrived with unusually rubbery thick bacon, the home fries absolutely sucked (they don’t have hash browns) and the accompanying toast was only one slice of bread. I sat at the counter and was knocked into repeatedly by servers as I ate. I was happy to get the hell out of here. Trips Diner has to stand out as possibly the most overrated and unfriendly dump with corresponding below-average food that I have ever eaten at.

Let me start off by saying that breakfast is my favorite meal - especially to eat out. The myriad good reviews led me to Trip's. Went on a Sunday morning and waited about 30-40 minutes - which was expected. Food is excellent and service is good. Very small parking lot behind the location (maybe 10 spots), then it is street parking where you can find it.

Great comfortable spot! The country fried steak and sausage gravy is super good. The second time I went I had fries and brown gravy, I would highly recommend as a side to a lunch entree! Also, the second time I went, the waiter Bobby remembered me from last time, which is very much appreciated in a busy establishment. The service staff is very prompt and friendly. If you can find a parking spot, it’s definitely worth a try!

The following opinions result from several breakfast, lunch and dinner visits to the MLK Street Trip's location in St Petersburg. Trip's is a moderately priced spot offering decent service, moderate prices, acceptable sensibility to allergens, dog-friendly outdoor dining, reasonable menu selection and acceptable food. Breakfast offerings are generally palatable, but lunch and dinner selections can be disappointing. Plusses worth a mention include burgers, breaded fries, coleslaw, salad sandwiches, omelets, and chili with beans. On the other hand, Texas- toast grilled cheese, French onion soup, sausage patties, and occasionally under-cooked pancakes are best avoided. Finally, if you prefer to visit this location during peak hours, prepare yourself for difficult parking and an outside waiting line. If you're looking for a nearby alternative, consider Kristina's.

I am in love with this restaurant! Food was perfect and anyone who has ever read my reviews, knows I don’t let any restaurant get away with mediocre food. I don’t care for eggs, most times I ask if I can substitute the eggs for a side and if there’s a up charge it’s ok… mostly, the answer is no… so all my life the restaurant kept my eggs (profit for them) and I paid full price for a side… now, I’m saying this because I got my side for free and no nasty eggs on my plate, in a to go box… or extra profit for the restaurant… to me, it was a win…win. I had chicken fried steak w/ sausage gravy, fried potatoes, pancake, biscuit… I wanted to try everything! The steak was wonderful, pancake, very tasty, potatoes very good and the biscuit was real! Our server was Kevin, he gets your order, if you have questions he can answer and he has a great smile… all in all, I will return to St Petersburg and I will return to this restaurant! Oh they have pies…. I got 2 pieces to go, peanut butter, very rich, very good…. Pumpkin cheesecake, hubby said it was really good… must’ve been, he didn’t even offer me a bite… so, please check this place out, we had a 20 minute wait… who cares when your food is that delectable!!!!!!!! Mmmmmm
