  • Yes of course we do! We’re in Florida, afterall. Total no brainer. Tons of fans too.

  • St. Pete has tons of free parking. Find spots right along Central Ave and also on 1st Avenues North and South.

    There is a small parking lot right behind Cheeky’s in our alley way, give it a try. Aside from these spaces, please do not park in any of our alley neighbors’ spots.

    The Grand Central District and Kenwood neighborhoods are total gems, so if you have to walk a block, you’ll end up loving it and wanting to move here.

  • One of these is right, the others are not. Can you guess it?

    1. It’s a nickname for owner Nate Siegel, given by his big brother Matt, thanks to the big fat and pinch-able cheeks he sported as a little one. The cheeks have changed, but the name has not.

    2. Named for our famous Grouper Cheeks.

    3. We’re from the UK.

  • Lots of bad news about shrimp these days and places serving import shrimp pumped up with chemicals and calling it fresh and local. Not at Cheeky’s!

    Ours is guaranteed Florida white shrimp, brought in fresh by our friend Brad Shirley at Ocean Harvest. It’s wild caught on the East Coast of Florida near Cape Canaveral. Some call it “candy shrimp” cause it’s so damn sweet. Nothing added, wild caught, hormone and dye free and super delicious.

  • Oh yeah! Cheeky’s is a family-friendly spot perfect for the whole gang. Our Minnow Menu is for our friends 12 and under full of the classic favorites kids are guaranteed to love.

    Plus, we have a vintage arcade game in the back (Galaga/PacMan) so you can teach Timmy what life was like before iPads.
