Good eats in/around Tampa area beaches (indian Rocks, et al)...
Frieda's Cafe is a great spot for pastry, cakes etc... they do nice sandwiches and soups as well. Located in Largo, so not far from the beaches in pinellas if you take interstate 275

Really lovely Cajun food at Cajun Cafe on the Bayou - also close to the pinellas beaches. Speaking as a Louisiana girl this is the best Cajun / Creole food I've had in florida.

I am not a Florida, kitch, seafood person but these are all really stand up places I go to on a continuous basis and have always have wonderful food and service.

I'm new to Pinellas county as well but have found a really REALLY good Indian, Taste of Punjab in Pinellas Park. I do not eat seafood, fish etc so finding food that I like anywhere in coastal Florida can pose a challenge.
Chicken fried chicken - Tampa Bay area?
Am VERY glad to see you mention Maryland Fried Chicken and 1st choice BBQ... those are my top two sources of comfort food! I grew up in Tampa and now will drive from Pinellas county on occasion to get my fix.
Largo/Seminole/Pinellas Park Suggestions?
I really love Taste of Punjab... everything I have tried on and off the buffet has been wonderful. Prices are low and reasonable...

Its not fancy, you won't be blown away by amazing decorating or opulent decor but it feels like you are stepping in to a friends house. Simple tables, warm friendly owners and the obligatory TV playing Indian music videos.
I got the buffet, to try out a few things in one trip, and to me how a buffet is kept is a good indication of the level of detail and love given to the food off the menu. I was blown away, everything was delicious, well cooked, carefully spiced. The fried items on the buffet were crispy, replenished often and not allowed to get soggy. The tandoori chicken, which I usually will not even touch as it is always dissappointing at best... was juicy... flavourful... amazingly good.
Pinellas Park is such a black hole when it comes to new and good food moving in... this is a shocking treat that I will tell anyone to try.
