About Fourth Street Shrimp Store

Fourth Street Shrimp Store is a locally owned seafood restaurant that has been a St. Petersburg, Florida staple since the 1980s. It offers a casual, old‑Florida atmosphere with a menu focused on shrimp, Gulf seafood, fish platters, chowders, sandwiches, and classic sides, along with a full bar. The restaurant is frequently described as a neighborhood favorite for relaxed, affordable seafood dining rather than a formal fine‑dining experience.

A charge from this merchant typically appears when you dine in, order takeout, or place an online order through their Toast-powered ordering system, which often results in a descriptor beginning with the Toast POS prefix “TST*” followed by an abbreviated form of the restaurant name. Tips added after the initial authorization, bar tabs, and to‑go or curbside orders may cause the final posted amount to be slightly higher than the original pending charge. If you ordered online, the billing descriptor may reference Toast and may not show the full restaurant name, which can make the charge less recognizable.

If you have questions about a charge, the best starting point is to match the date and amount with any meal, bar tab, or online order you or a family member made in St. Petersburg, Florida, around that time. You can review email receipts or your order history if you used their online ordering link (via Toast), or request a copy of the receipt by calling the restaurant directly. For disputed or unrecognized charges, contact the restaurant first with the transaction date and last four digits of the card; if that does not resolve the issue, you can then follow up with your bank or card issuer to open a formal dispute.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my bank statement show “TST*4TH STREET SHR” instead of Fourth Street Shrimp Store?

The restaurant uses Toast as its point‑of‑sale system, which adds the prefix “TST*” and often abbreviates the business name to fit card‑network character limits. A descriptor like “TST*4TH STREET SHR” is the same as a charge from Fourth Street Shrimp Store in St. Petersburg, Florida.

What kinds of purchases usually result in a charge from Fourth Street Shrimp Store?

Charges typically come from dining in at the restaurant, placing a takeout order, or ordering online through their Toast ordering page. Bar tabs and to‑go orders are also processed through the same system and will appear under the same merchant descriptor.

Can the final amount from Fourth Street Shrimp Store be higher than the original pending charge?

Yes. When you first pay, Toast may authorize the base amount, and the final posted transaction can increase to include an added tip or adjustments on a bar tab. This is common at full‑service restaurants and bars, and the pending amount may differ slightly from the settled amount.

How can I get a copy of my receipt for a Fourth Street Shrimp Store charge?

Check your email for an electronic receipt if you ordered online or requested email delivery at the time of payment. If you don’t find one, call the restaurant directly and provide the transaction date, approximate time, and last four digits of your card so they can look up and reprint or email the receipt.

Does Fourth Street Shrimp Store run recurring or subscription charges?

No. Fourth Street Shrimp Store is a single‑location seafood restaurant, and its charges are almost always one‑time transactions for food and beverages. If you see repeated charges, verify that a family member or authorized user isn’t visiting regularly, and contact the restaurant or your bank if they remain unexplained.

Why do I see a small or duplicate pending charge from Fourth Street Shrimp Store?

Occasionally, the payment processor may place an initial authorization hold or re‑authorize a card if there was a connectivity issue, a bar tab, or a tip adjustment. Extra pending authorizations generally fall off automatically within a few days; if a duplicate posts and doesn’t reverse, you should contact both the restaurant and your card issuer.

How do I contact Fourth Street Shrimp Store if I don’t recognize a charge?

Locate the restaurant’s phone number and contact details on theshrimpstore.com, then call during business hours with your statement handy. Provide the date, amount, and last four digits of your card so staff can confirm whether the charge matches a transaction at their St. Petersburg location.

I visited St. Petersburg once—could this charge from Fourth Street Shrimp Store be from an older trip?

Yes, if you recently closed a bar tab or there was a processing delay, the final charge may post a day or two after your visit. However, it should still be close in date to when you dined there. If the date does not match any trip to St. Petersburg, contact the restaurant and your bank to rule out card fraud or mistaken use.
