2021 VegFeast - Edit
I saw the Golden Dinosaur at the St Pete 2021 VegFeast. They have vegan Cuban Sandwiches and it was amazing!!!! My boyfriend and I shared one but we both should have got our down. I haven’t been to the restaurant and have o my had the one Cuban so I feel like I cannot give a full review of how their restaurant and the rest of their menu is. But I’m excited to try them again in the future!

Never going back - Edit
I do not like this place. Went one time because I heard so many good things, the food was really bad and tasted like they cooked it weeks ago. I went a second time to give it another chance, and will never go again. So pricey and the food doesn’t taste good at all. The area is really nice tho.

One of my favorites - Edit
I eat at gdvd a few times a month. I love their creative specials, weekend doughnuts, and outdoor seating. I love having a vegan junk food option as that’s what I grew up eating. Being able to get a roast “beef” sandwich with curly fries or a vegan gyro. They have different specials for each day so make sure to check their social media before you go.

Affordable vegan junk food - Edit
If you want a vegan sandwich come here. They do have a couple of salads on the menu as well. Delicious options and actually not that pricey compared to other spots in the area.

One of my favorite spots to eat - Edit
This place is perfect when you're craving some vegan junk food. My favorites are the Pastrami Reuben, and the Cowboy Dan. They make all their seitan in-house and sell their deli meats by the half-pound, and they make for some great sandwiches and wraps during the week. Their donuts are really good too.

Best Vegan Spot in Pinellas County - Edit
This is my favorite place in Pinellas County. I love the food, the creativity, the energy, and their great location in Gulfport.
Read moreI am a longtime vegan and I love that I can get great burgers, sandwiches, fries, and desserts here. My favorite items are the Cuban, the Tarpon Style Greek Salad, and the In Parm's Way. I often come and grab several items and eat them during the work week. I love the rotating specials because it lets me try something new every time I visit too.
During the pandemic I have used their contactless pick-up a lot, and they always have my order ready quickly and with 100% accuracy. Using their online ordering is simple and reliable. I greatly appreciate the company's safety precautions and the staff's efforts to keep customers safe during this time.

Ethically Delicious - Edit
During pre-pandemic times this restaurant was an oasis, and it remains so. I miss happily eating giant salads and large amounts of waffle fries on the patio. I’ve driven up for take out more recently and delightfully eaten in private.
Read moreThe approach they took during all the crazy times keeps its employees as safe as possible. They adapted and stayed true to their values. They are a candle for me in these chaotic times, and they have the best sandwiches. Don’t miss the opportunity to support good people making amazing food!
Pros: Lots of delicious vegan comfort food, Cares for the health and safety of employees, Doughnuts & does good in the community

Not so great - Edit
The mac and cheese had a lot of pepper or some other unexpected spice that ruined it for me. The menu does not give any info on what is in the food so it’s a surprise.. not always a good one 🤪 The Cuban was just ok if your in the area but not wirth a drive to get to.

Everything's vegan! - Edit
Hands down my favorite restaurant! I LOVE the food here - & so do my non-vegan friends & family! Awesome vegan "deli" that uses seitan, tempeh, etc. in place of meat in traditional sandwiches like their Cuban (yum!). They also do delicious daily specials; I especially recommend going on Taco Tuesday. I've also been for brunch & had biscuits & "sausage" gravy - so good! Not used to having so many options, so it can be hard to decide what to order, lol, but everything I've tried has been absolutely amazing. Menu is available online too, so you can decide beforehand. GDVD is located in beautiful Gulfport, so I like to walk down to the pier there to eat - such a cool city! (GDVD has a pretty dining patio, but inside is closed during the pandemic.) They also have wonderful sides (like chili cheese fries!) & desserts. And IT'S ALL VEGAN!!
Read morePros: Vegan only, delicious healthy comfort food, Reasonable prices, online menu, Rewards points for savings
Cons: None (except so much to choose from, lol)

The best - Edit
Easily the best vegan spot in St Pete. You get rewards points towards $ off future orders after a certain amount of spending. I'm never disappointed when I go here, and the outdoor seating is nice.

Pricey - Edit
I have been to alot of vegan restaurants, all price points and I feel this place is a pricey. I ordered a dozen doughnuts one sat, left work to go get them excited to share with non vegan coworkers...and it cost me 35.00!! The doughnuts were so greasy, and overly sweet we couldn't eat them.
Read moreI have ordered from here for lunch a couple times, and with excitement, for only a meh experience. Food can be salty. Deserts good but again super sweet. Chili fries are really good, but way to expensive for portion size. I have been vegan 25 years, I have mastered many dishes in my kitchen, I know what this cost in the industry, and it is not necessary to jack up prices just because you are a specilty place.
Cons: Expensive

Nice deli/bakery - Edit
4.5 stars! I had the TALT (tempeh bacon/avo/let/tom) and it was really tasty but quite salty (as most tempeh bacon is). I went back for a donut and that was great

Worth the trip! - Edit
Been here a few times now and everything has been great. The Cuban with waffle fries are just about perfect, and on our last visit I had a dark chocolate sea salt cookie that was amazing. It's about a 40 minute drive for us but worth it.

Yum Vegan Grub! - Edit
Visited yesterday and they are available for pick-up (go to their website and call to place order). Their dining patio is closed but luckily there are some benches and parks nearby. We were able to picnic under a shelter at the beach! Such an awesome, inclusive, 100% vegan establishment!! We got the Cheesesteak, Reuben, Cuban, Fries, Ceasar Salad, Mimosa!!! Honestly everything was super delicious. I really admire this place for the measures they are taking to protect staff & guests from COVID! And also for welcoming everyone and being vocal about social justice issues. This place rocks!! 😁 Location is cool too! In a fun and colourful part of town!

So good and such nice people also! - Edit
So delicious! Highly recommend the tempeh Ruben and the Greek salad with added dill chickpeas! I love the building they’re in and the way everything is decorated as well. Awesome outdoor seating! Though watch out for the squirrels knocking the mangos off the tree nearby lol. Really nice staff! Park and also the water near by for great places to take it to go and picnic.

Curbside Happiness - Edit
We did curbside pick up for obvious reasons! This was our first time here..so blown away by the Cuban sandwiches. You will not be disappointed. The bread is fresh, pickles crunchy, and mustard delish. We also got the beer cheese dip (YUM). Thank you for the great food!! Totally felt like a cheat meal today.
