“We came for the first time tonight for my daughters 13th birthday. The food is great. It's a nice relaxed restaurant with great service. The server took pictures with the girls and helped us celebrate my daughters very special birthday. We will definitely be back.”
“Went to Carrabba’s for the first time to dine in. The ambience was nice, the service was excellent and the food was nice and hot! Just the way I like it. I was starving when I arrived and my food was up and ready in short order. Impressive! My waiter, Josh, was amazing! He had other tables to wait on, but he made us feel like we were the only ones. I think I’ll be spending a lot more time dining in. Carrabba’s exceeded all of my expectations! Great work guys!”
“Zachary was our fun, witty, entertaining, attentive, spot on server. Drinks, food, atmosphere is excellent. You might have a wait to be seated as we did; but totally worth it!”
“The food is always great and the staff is great. Rhonda is so friendly and attentive - she's the best bar manager ever! Only negative is they need to buy the Bally network so they can support the community and local sports. While they may not be a "sports bar" if you have TVs you need to show what your customers want.”

“The Strawberry Cheesecake was so delicious and beautiful! All the guests could say was, “mmmmmmm” and then they put their plates to the side for a second serving!”
“We come here at least weekly! The food is always fresh, service is great (Kelly knows our order by heart and has appetizers ready almost before we sit down) and the prices are more than fair! We absolutely love it here and bring many out-of-town friends and family here to dine.”
“Had lunch at this Indian restaurant today when visiting Brandon and as I walked in the place looked really big, neat and clean. The ambience was really good and the service was very fast but the quantity and quality of food didnt meet my expectation for the price but I would like to go back for weekend buffet and give another shot at the items.”
“Was here last night with my client, Mitch Cumstein. I can vouch for the foul odor coming from that Alexis woman's direction. If she lived in one of the apartment buildings owned by another client of mine, I would move to have her evicted. By the way, Katie was a terrific server. And I'm usually mean to girls.”

We came on my husband’s birthday and the manager & assist manager with Lu surprised my husband with a song and a cinnamon biscuit… It was so nice.. We will come again as the food was fresh and delicious🎉🙌”
“A few days ago, I visited Kanji Sushi & Ramen in Brandon for the first time, and I was thoroughly impressed. The word ‘Kanji’ translates to ‘feeling’ in Japanese, and this restaurant certainly delivers a great one. The sushi bar is modern and lively, with solid service and a sleek interior. We started with the Lychee martini, beautifully presented with a sugared rim—refreshing and perfectly executed. For our main course, we ordered miso soup, which was delicious, followed by the Santa Barbara, Godzilla, and Sweetheart rolls. Each roll was generous in portion, beautifully presented, and absolutely satisfying. The atmosphere was buzzing, and by the time we left around 8:30 PM, every table was full. It’s great to see this restaurant thriving, especially in a plaza where other establishments have struggled. I’m not sure if it’s the area or just bad luck for those previous spots, but I truly hope Kanji succeeds. Brandon could certainly use more standout dining options, and this place shows great promise!”

“Seriously the best NY style pizza you’re going to find in these neck of the woods. I went here with my son and Tim & Samantha were great servers. Our cups always remained full and our food was nice and hot! Can’t wait to come back here with my family and create more memories”
“Service was excellent. Owner served us he was very friendly. The food was excellent. I had the Mezza appetizer which had Greek salad, dolmades, falafel, hummus, babaganoush and taziki sauce. My husband had some potato salad on his plate and I tried some it was so good. I was given spanikopita to sample. It was so flaky. I used the bathroom and it was clean and smelled nice.”
“If you're craving authentic Mediterranean flavors, this spot in East Tampa is a must-visit! The moment you walk in, the aroma of freshly prepared dishes fills the air, hinting at the deliciousness that awaits. The food was exceptionally fresh and flavorful, showcasing the best of Middle Eastern cuisine. The staff was absolutely amazing—warm, friendly, and attentive, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. They genuinely care about their guests, and it shows in every interaction. The place was spotless, too, with a clean and inviting atmosphere that sets the stage for a relaxing meal.”

“I stopped in for the first time after my morning run to grab a coffee and decided to dine in as well. There was a slight mix-up with my order, but Luis (possibly the manager) went out of his way to make it right. He even kept my extra iced coffee in the fridge for me to take to go. And checked on me personally while I was eating. The Rise & Shine meal was perfect—I enjoyed it and even had some leftovers to take home. The fruit cup was fresh, and the regular hot black coffee that comes with the meal was surprisingly good. Overall, a great experience despite a bit pricey.”
“Our server, Mili, was outstanding!! Extremely friendly and attentive to our needs. I had the smoke brisket melt with mac and cheese and my bride had pulled pork mac and cheese. Then to top it all off we shared the turtle brownie sundae. Every morsel, of everything, was over the top! Absolutely delicious!!!! I also told the manager how delighted we were of the entire experience!! Can't return soon enough!! Thanks, Mili!!! UDABEST!!”
“I ordered the Sweet Byrd Sandwich with the Hot seasoning and it was the perfect level of spice and tasted amazing. The fries were crispy and had just the right amount of seasoning. The staff were extremely kind and caring while were eating there. A must try establishment in the area.”
“Muy Bien! We stumbled across this food truck set up while in town for a long weekend. This was our first time in the Tampa area but this will forever be a destination meal! Everybody was super friendly and every single thing we tried was out of those world flavorful! Muchas Gracias!”
“Server Myron was a delight to have. Really enjoyed our visit at the Brandon location! Thank you so much!”

The food is fantastic and the chefs take their time to create dishes that are exquisite and mouthwatering. The desserts, well you have to try! They also have art, and gift shop with some many items for every occasion and special person. A small local with a big taste! Thank you for coming to Brandon.”

I love being able to grab my meals for the week and not have to worry about the hustle and bustle of meal prepping. I would highly recommend fitlife foods to any of my friends trying to meal prep, but struggling to do so.

“Olive Garden is an old favorite. Fun place to have dinner with friends or family. I like coming at lunch for the soup and salad. Usually a wait in the evening for dinner but well worth it. Full Italian fare everything from spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, scampi, food so good you’ll thing you were in Italy. Splurge and have the wine pairing next time you’re there. And don’t forget a $6 entree to take home.

He provided us excellent customer service, he was polite, professional, curious, patient and made sure he provide very good service!! He is a valuable asset to your staff and company!! Kass keep up the excellent customer service you provide and know that others are watching you with a positive attitude and want to be a blessing to you, since you are truly a blessing to your daily customers!! Good luck in all your future endeavors!! May God continue to bless you, your family, friends and co-workers!! Also may he keep you safe and healthy!!”
“This is my favorite Mickey D's location. I work like maybe 5 minutes away so I unfortunately visit a lot, lol. Everyone is always so nice but Chris (Christopher Hooper) is the best! Customer service is always on point. Because I come often he remembers me which always make you feel good as a customer. He's so sweet and respectful, I be so happy to see his face at the window, lol. Overall, I always have a good experience when I come to pick up my food. Order is correct and food is freshly made. Idk if its just the lunch crew or a whole new crew but I like them. 5 Stars!”

“We stopped in here while visiting from Georgia. Extremely friendly, outgoing, knowledgeable and fun. We ended up going everyday for the 4 days we were town. We absolutely loved everything we tried. The teas gave us the energy we needed for the day and are very tasty. we also tried the Protein Waffle and Acai bowls Extremely tasty and fulfilling. I highly recommend stopping in and saying Hi to the owners.”
“This place is an absolute gem, and I can barely contain how much I want to share! I went with my mother on the fly one day during for lunch on a weekday. Every single dish we tried was flawless—beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and crafted with clear attention to detail. The service was top-notch from start to finish; our waiter not only gave excellent recommendations but also kept our drinks filled and checked in thoughtfully without being overbearing.
The tuna nachos? Absolutely phenomenal—the tempura was perfectly crisp, and they serve their bento meals in actual bento boxes, which was such a charming and delightful touch. The sashimi was as fresh as it gets, and I can’t rave enough about the sushi rice! It was warm, fluffy, and seasoned to perfection—usually, I don’t even notice the rice, but this was unforgettable.
I was so blown away by the whole experience that I tipped both our waiter and the sushi chefs who made it all possible. Then, something amazing happened—they invited me to stay a bit longer and surprised me with a special salmon dish. The chef mentioned it was incredibly fresh, and let me tell you, that taste is something I’ll never forget. I don’t even know what it was called, but it was the highlight of our visit, and such a thoughtful gesture made the experience even more memorable.
It’s a rare find to have such a fantastic spot so close by. I’m already planning to become a regular and can’t wait to bring my boyfriend next time he's in town. I love this place and cannot recommend it enough—it’s truly an experience you don’t want to miss!”

“My daughter and I came here to chat and enjoy a choose 5 board and some wine. It was such a good experience! We had a nice time just talking and snacking for over 2 hours! Highly recommend this place!”

“Stopped by for Sunday afternoon games and snacks. This is a great location with an exceptional selection of beers and food pairing recommendations. Cocktails were also great. Our server was prompt and informative about options. #yummy”
“Casual atmosphere, good food, and average service. I like the pasta as well as the garlic rolls, and of course the pizza is great. They serve Chigago-style deep dish pizza, with the sauce on top, and my baked ziti was perfectly covered in cheese.”
“Ordered to-go from Liang’s Bistro pretty much by accident. I was in the area and wanted Asian to go but not Chinese or Ramen or Sushi. Limits the options, yes. Went here hoping it was more than a typical Chinese takeout shop. It turned out to be a bistro, as it is called, with a pretty and warm interior, table-side service and an impressive wine storage along one wall. The restaurant features an open kitchen with a large but not overwhelming menu. I chose yellow curry chicken, Thai basil with tofu and a pad Thai dish as well as shrimp lettuce wraps. Everything was delicious even though it was an hour before I made it home for us to eat dinner. What I like best is they do a little of everything - Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese and even noodles and poke without offering so many of each kind that you know it’s going to be awful. The manager took great care of me, mentioning that this is their second location after a long stint in Tampa and that the business is owned by a Chinese individual who is adamant about serving Asian food, rather than just his country’s dishes. I liked it and look forward to taking my family and friends. Feels comfortable and is affordable. I spent $62 to feed four people and we have leftovers in the fridge.”

“PDQ always has great/consistent food quality. Their service is great and always quick. They keep and run a very clean restaurant. PDQ is by far my favorite fast food chicken restaurant. I love the sandwiches, specifically the Buffy blue sandwich. Their Buffalo blue cheese sauce is incredible. Absolutely love the limited time maple pecan milkshake.”
“One of my top favorite spots to eat for lunch. But recently someone else has taken over and named it big mikes tacos. I miss nachos tacos with that being said. Big mikes tacos isn’t bad just not as delicious as nachos and I’m unsure where the location in Tampa have went.”

“My wife and I have been coming to this Chick Fil A for years and have never been disappointed by the quality of the food, or the customer service. Tom (one of the training coaches) was so kind and even cleared our table for us when we were finished. Very nice dining experience. Highly recommend!”
“We are so thrilled that Hey Mon opened up within WALKING distance of our house. We will definitely become regulars. Our whole family loves their Puff Bread . The Roti Bread is OUT OF THIS WORLD! The sauces are delicious! We haven’t even begun to try the dinners but we’ll be back!!! My goal is to make my way through the entire menu by the end of the summer. We go to the Caribbean every year for Spring Break. What a way to have the islands here all year round!”
“This is a local bar that doesn't serve food but does provide service with a smile. I truly love this bar. They do not have pool tables, but it's a little too small for pool anyway. They have several dart boards and a pretty good selection of liquor and beer. This bar always has a chill atmosphere and never any unnecessary drama!!! Great locals spot!”
“Wir durften gestern das erste Mal zu Gast im „Taste of Berlin“ sein, haben sehr gut gegessen und uns wunderbar mit den Eigentümern unterhalten. Ein gutes Radler in Florida findet man nicht oft und dazu noch ein Schnitzel mit allen leckeren Beilagen aus der Heimat hat den Abend abgerundet. Als Fussballfan und Hauptstadtkind fühlt man sich in dem Restaurant einfach nur wohl. Wir kommen wieder, versprochen! HaHoHe💙🤍”
“The manager, Frank greeted us in such a friendly and warm manner. We were visiting friends that live in a nearby town after a long day at the beach & we arrived 40 mins before closing. He accommodated a party of 7 withy two young nieces that were sunburned & hungry (he even brought out damp cold paper towels to help soothe their sunburns). The appetizers, main dishes, drinks and dessert were delicious with exceptional customer service! We’ll definitely be back!”

“I ordered the chimmichurri steak sandwich on my way from work. It was sooooo good and definitely made with the freshest ingredients. It is now my go to spot for lunch and I have already recommended it to my family, friends and colleagues. The cook was also very helpful with his recommendations.”
“First time customer, as we are just visiting the area.
Typical small pizza joint atmosphere. -quaint.
But.. exceptional service, menu specials pointed out by the staff, free loaded cheesy bread while we waited 15 minutes for our to go order, and very delicious medium pepperoni & jalapeño pizza. *****5
(We had Mellow Mushroom Pizza last night, and it was only 2-star**)”
“DO NOT EAT LUNCH AT THIS RESTAURANT!!! Unless you have major self control! Unfortunately, I do not and my lunch ended with me taking a nap! I basically feel into a Cuban food coma…apparently it IS a real thing. 😁😄 😆Everything looked and smelled amazing and the customer service was top notch also. The lady asked me if I wanted to try anything before I made a decision and she was very informative. If I had to say anything negative… they made the empanada too hot! They are made fresh to order and I HAD to take a bite before I left the parking lot! Sure, I did burn my mouth… but I don’t care and will do it again! 100% worth it! 🤪 $24 total and that included tip. I couldn’t wait to leave a review! I can not wait to introduce my family to this establishment. Pictured: yellow rice with half black and half garbanzo beans, plantains, stew chicken (Monday special)with vegetables and in the containers are marinated pork and the rest of my empanada.”

Love this restaurant and I will be back again!”
