Who Has the Best Customer Service on the Beaches?
Vote in our poll, tournament style, to see who delivers the best customer service on the beaches.
Everyone has an opinion about who serves the tastiest lunch in town, or where to go for a great cup of coffee.
But who has the best customer service on the Pinellas Beaches?
To find out, we're taking the top 64 businesses that have joined Patch and letting them vie against one another, tournament style, to find out who delivers the best customer service.
All month long we'll be asking you, our readers, to vote as we work our way down to a final four and ultimately crown a champion (just like that famous basketball tournament going on right now).
Our top-rated businesses already clinched a spot in the poll. Their directory listings were claimed by staff, and they have high ratings from Pinellas Beaches Patch readers.
In order to round out the field of 64, we need your help. Vote in the poll below for your favorite local businesses, and the highest vote-getters by noon Wednesday join the others in the first round of the contest.
Be sure to support your favorite business by voting!

I would have to say The Alligator Attraction in Johns Pass. Best deal in town at only 5 dollars for a whole family.

I would agree! Myself and 2 daughters recently visited and we could have spent the entire day. They loved looking, touching, and holding the alligators. It was an experience that we will never forget. We don't see many alligators in Nebraska so for them to experience this was amazing. They still tell everyone the best part of their trip was the alligators and they show their pictures to prove it!

My family and I are visiting the area for a week beginning early August. I have been checking out activities, etc. to keep the masses entertained and was very excited when I saw "The Alligator Attraction". However, when I viewed pics of the baby gators in a less than acceptable pool of water, I was so disappointed and so bothered that you would charge $4 or whatever to bait a baby gator and let them hang on the end of a pole so you can "see the size of your catch". Do you honestly do this? What kind of environment do you actually provide for these creatures? I saw one pic of a gator in a very small dog crate looking cage. Do you keep them like this? I guess what I am asking is how do you provide a safe and healthy environment for the alligators, one that doesn't limit their movement and do you release these magnficient creatures back into the wild after a certain amount of time. I see your business as a cheesy way of making a buck at the expense of really beautiful and interesting creatures. Please please prove me wrong and I will so give a written public apology.
