Treehouse BBQ to open first brick-and-mortar restaurant next month in north St. Pete
/
For a city this food-obsessed, St. Pete has always had a shortage of great barbecue. But that may be about to change.
After building a strong following as a mobile catering company, Treehouse BBQ will open its first brick-and-mortar restaurant next month at 229 62nd Avenue North in the Edgemoor neighborhood of north St. Pete.
The 1,200-square-foot space was previously home to Pasghetti, Tasty Thai, and Green Light Sushi Bar.
A regular vendor at the weekly Kenwood Sunday Market at St. Pete High, Treehouse BBQ will operate mainly as a carry-out spot, with limited indoor seating for approximately 20 guests.

Three years after leaving downtown St. Pete, Acropolis Greek Taverna is returning to Central Avenue with its familiar Greek dishes, lively celebrations, and a new underground lounge.
The restaurant will open at 475 Central Avenue, the former home of Concrete Jungle, which closed in January after just over two years in business.
A grand opening is planned for mid-December.
Acropolis previously spent 12 years at 515 Central Avenue before closing in 2023 following a dispute with its landlord.
For Sam Waez, who co-founded Acropolis in 2001, the past three years have been spent looking for a way back to St. Pete.
“This is my backyard. All my people are here, all my friends,” Waez said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising. “I like being here.”
