“The food was great. One of the best burgers out there and I eat burgers all the time everywhere I go. The service was phenomenal. Maddie was our server and did an amazing job. Very attentive and personable. Always smiling knowledgeable. Couldn't have asked for better service. Will be coming back.“

“Welcome to the world’s famous SHOWTIME, super friendly local crowd, very accommodating staff, good music, cold drinks, HOT food. Darts, two pool tables, jukeboxes, Pac-Man arcade game, with loads of history. Have you ever heard of the man named Grady Stiles? Well he used to reside here In Gibsonton, he was a circus performer and he had a wild deformity Ectrodactlyly, he had hands and feet like claws and it made his life very intriguing. Either way, when he wasn’t preforming and showcasing his deformation. He would come here, it’s awesome to be here finally.Parking: Plenty of parking.Wheelchair accessibility: There’s no stairs to access the building“

“We really enjoy Trivia Night. However, service is poor. We visit every Wednesday with our family. This past week was the worst service I’ve ever experienced. I was alone for a bit this week and had my laptop and books spread out on the table. It was impossible not to notice my setup. The waitress had one other table and it was right next to me. I waited over 30 minutes before going inside and ordering a drink. She said she didn’t see me. We made eye contact multiple times. I’m sure she probably thought the big party was a big tip. However, the rest of my family was joining me. We tip well, so definitely her loss.“

“Great spot for business dinners or date nights. Truthfully I was drawn in by the building because it looks so intriguing from the outside and I was just as impressed once we were inside. It isn’t too loud in there so if going for business or on a date night you can converse without having to strain to hear one another. The staff were all friendly and attentive. ??The preparation and presentation fully reflected the care that’s put into curating the Olivia experience.We had filet mignon, scallops, mushroom risotto, pasta, tomato and burrata, charcuterie, and the MUST HAVE garlic bread and enjoyed all of it! I imagine their cocktails must be good if you’re going for drinks because our non-alcohol cocktails were delicious (*this is a big plus for us because we don’t consume alcohol but we do love flavorful beverages when we’re dining*). ?“

“First time visiting here for a bridal shower and it was absolutely gorgeous! The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a unique vibe. We had a bridal shower brunch and they accommodated our party easily. The table was decorated so cute, along with custom “she said yes” menus that each guest got to order from! I had the French toast for brunch and it was a delicious, although a little sweet for my taste (I’m team savory for brunch always). Drinks were good, along with their craft sodas which were delicious! Would definitely recommend in the future and will be back for other meals!“

“Well done. My husband took me here for appetizers before my bday dinner. Enjoyed the service, atmosphere, white and Spainish wine flights and chef bread board.I'm impressed by the lactose free cheese options and beef vs pork options for the board.Breads were fresh and tasty.I'm be back for the deserts.“

“Hands down the best pizza spot in town, served by its owners. Their pizzas are out of this world, and their warmth and kindness make every visit special. A true five-star experience with incredible food and even better company! Thank you Geo, Leo and Lorentina for treating everyone like family“

“I remember when this business was Chop Chop Shop, further up in Florida ave. It was dangerous living so close. Ever since the relocation/rebrand they have expanded their menu and made the ambience unbelievably awesome! I've gotten takeout and dined in. Love their rice bowls and their pancakes. Such a nice spot. The wait is never more than ~5-8 minutes. The tablets you order off of make it really hard to choose what you want because all the pictures look so good!“

“Update 4/15/24Had the trio to start. Then has the fajita chicken bowl with cilantro lime rice. And the other with added steak and Mexican rice. They both were very good!I had a variety of 3 crunchy tacos, beans and rice and a margarita. I enjoyed it all! I'll definitely be back.“

“Had a 90th birthday party for our Mom, who is an IPA drinker. The room was a perfect size for our group of 15. They had a great variety of beer on tap and several wine selections for non beer drinkers. We ordered the pork sliders, charcuterie tray, veggie tray and pretzels. All of the food was delicious! Our bartender Tori was fantastic. She took care of everything...making sure everyone had a beverage, especially my Mom, who never had an empty glass. Tori absolutely made the party! She is the best!I highly recommend the Coppertail Brewery for your meeting or party. Contact Alexis and she'll take great care of you! Made hosting the party stress free!“

“I've stopped there in numerous occasions for a pint found the service and beer above average. Located in a former gas station on Florida avenue it has that feel if the people back in the day could talked to you they share some great stories it has the homey vibe to it . But been there twice in two weeks to check out the menu and the beer again after a brief hiatus. Found the beer to be crisp and fresh the service a little more attentive and the food great for any of the beers. Pretzels were bang on with the mustard and the beer cheese . Had" The Rob " roast beef on weck and the horseradish sauce was fire. I'll be back to explore the rest of the menu if I leave the beers alone for room to taste the rest of the culinary bites.“

“We had family in town and made reservations for 5 for 230 pm on last Friday the 26th of April. They have tons of parking and outside the building looks good. As soon as you walk in you see the pizza oven, the open chargrill cooking area, and the pizza prep area. When you walk in the aromas of fresh food cooking, garlic, and smoky grills are absolutely amazing.The inside is spotlessly clean, with beautiful imported ceramic décor and plenty of tables and booths. The bathrooms are the nicest I have seen and very clean. We were seated immediately and our waiter Jacob was prompt and flawless throughout the dinner.I have dined at restaurants all up and down the East coast, the Keys, and Cali. I ordered Nanas' meatballs for an appetizer and they were so very good. The sauce was also very good. For my entre I ordered the charred sea bass, and it was a home run. THE BEST fish I ever ate and I'm in my 50's, so that says a lot.EVERYONE at the table was so happy with the food they received! Top shelf service, very clean, nice ambiance, reasonable prices, and fresh, delicious food! What more could someone ask for?Thank you Casa Santo Stefano for making our visit special and memorable! You guys are the best and we will return when in Tampa. Cheers!!!“

“An esthetically beautiful place with stylish interior, good quality service, an acceptable, but not outstanding food. First disappointment was when I was greeted by one of hostesses who did not smile or made me feel welcome. She also provided lunch menus instead of brunch menus as it seemed that doing her job was a bother to her. Luckily, our server, Frankie, was great, and he made sure we got the attention we needed. He described Predalina as a Seafood-Driven Mediterranean Cuisine restaurant, explained in details various menu items, and made some food recommendations. However, when one of my friends received her Crab Benedict, lump crab patty was extremely dry / overcooked and poached eggs that are usually the star of any eggs Benedict, to our great disappointment, looked more like hard-boiled eggs. Manager stopped by the table to take the benedict back to substitute for an omelet. Myself and my other friend ordered an omelet each also, I just added avocado to mine. I'd give this omelet 4.5 stars. It came with a side salad + roasted tomato, spinach, onion, feta, chive inside the omelet, crispy potato, and a toasted sourdough on a side - which was so delish! My hazelnut latte was 3/5 only because hazelnut syrup tasted artificially, but both of my friends really enjoyed their decaf latte as well as lavender chai latte. One more thing I would like to mention is that it was very cold inside. *Parking: you can park at $4 per hour at E. Cumberland Avenue parking garage with plenty of space available or use a valet for $30+. I look forward to trying this place for dinner. Hoping for a 5-star experience next time.“

“Love this place, we have been here for a few years and it’s unbelievably amazing!! Their food is beyond GREAT….things I would never ask for (corn for an example ?) I more than love it there, corn was always eh it’s in my teeth, so I would never order it, this, place it is beyond amazing!! That’s not just corn!! The Chef is incredible….no doubt, every time we come, my Husband typically gets one of the new things on the menu!! Absolutely worth going to, hands down!!! My son says, it’s worth every penny!!Parking: Huge parking lot!! Right next to stores on either side!!Kid-friendliness: My kids come every time and we love it!!!Wheelchair accessibility: Flat floors and more accessible either way!!“

“My new favorite restaurant! After living in Japan for four years I can vouch for the authenticity of the food. It's affordable and delicious!!!Vegetarian options: No need for meat. There was more than enough veggies to fill you up and you can even switch out the soup bases. The curry base with the veggies was delicious!“

“My hubby and I popped in to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We are going away for the weekend so didn't want a full on dinner experience, just somewhere nice to have a drink and relax. I am very pleased to say that Society Wine Bar was the perfect location. Tura (our hostess), made sure that the glass of wine I selected was one that I would enjoy, she really went out of her way and gave me many samples to taste. She also didn't try to upsell an expensive wine. Hubby had a beer from their wide selection and we enjoyed a charcuterie board. The lighting and music were all great too, we could easily have a conversation without having to shout at each other.I am planning on coming back with some girlfriends, it really is a nice evening out and I'm so glad that we found it.“

“Josh at "The Bar" crafted the most divine Messy Espresso I've ever tasted! The perfect blend of rich espresso and creamy goodness left me craving more. Josh's expertise and friendly service made the experience unforgettable. A must-try for any coffee lover!“

“The bartender Lindsey was super cool and informative. She let me sample two of the moonshines and I really liked their Sunset recipe. Not only was the moonshine good, she whipped up a pumpkin spice espresso martini which was so delicious! Would come back again for that level of service.“

“Always enjoy having groups here. This last time we were 7 people. Great service from David and we ate well and had a great time.Vegetarian options: Eeg8gplant parm is great, plenty of appetizers and pasta vegetarian options, ask for vegetarian stuffed mushrooms“

“Doc B's is easily one of my favorite places for a quick dinner, especially for their salads. They have a good variety of different kinds and the portions are huge! I always end up taking some to go. If you pop in for lunch I suggest trying one of their wok bowls that you can customize. Even on busier days you never have to wait long to be served. Doc B's has a vibe for everyone: outdoor seating in the sunshine, intimate dining inside, and a bartop that always has sports on rotation.“

“Very busy but got seated promptly. Ambiance was nice. Inside and outdoor seating. TVs everywhere for the sports fanatics. Long list of beers and cocktails. Food menu pretty diverse. However I didn't really enjoy my food. My appetizer was off and my main course of the chicken avocado sandwich with Parmesan truffle fries was extremely salty. I got the smoked bourbon drink which was good. I didnt get a pic of my dishes because I was so excited to eat them but was disappointed“

“You know the food is good when it tastes delicious cold. I couldn't finish it, but both my guest and I had the steak filet sandwich. He said it was the best sandwich he's ever had and it was definitely in my top 3. Super cute efficient server. Nice open atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Great place! Buddy and I went out for drinks last night. We typically bar hop very sporadically, but we found ourselves hanging out there for a few hours. Staff was outstanding, fun, and made our night interesting in the best possible way. Definitely the best bar in Soho.“

“Wow! GREAT decor.. excellent setup and fantastic drink menu! The vibe is phenomenal and there’s plenty of little niches to sit and enjoy a cocktail or intimate moment… come check out artist night the 2nd Thursdays and shop with local artists and vendors!!“

“Went to shuffle for the first time with a couple friends had a great time. The service was very attentive even as they were super busy. They were very friendly and have a great selection of alcohol and their food is on point. They took time to explain how to play shuffleboard and we had a great time. Great atmosphere for anyone. The manager Cameron and owner Jen were super helpful with our questions and took the time to help me figure an issue out. Great customer service and product. I recommend if you haven’t already to go check it out get your shuffle on.“

“We enjoyed the entire experience. Our server was outstanding and the food is amazing. We had drinks and appetizers with music playing it made our meal experience fun. The chicken shawarma which our server recommended was out of this world with garlic spread. We will be back when in town again.“

“This place is awesome! It's a bar with an enclosed dog park attached. The beers are good and the employees are great, they even remembered our dog's name ? the food is hit or miss since it's a different food truck every time we've been there, but everything else is always great.For the dogs there's a large open area inside the bar, as well as an even larger outside turf area. The entire outside area is enclosed just like your average dog park but they also have hoses and basins and even a mini splash park so they can play in water! The best part is all dogs have to be fully vaccinated so you don't have to worry about your dog contracting something randomly just from coming here.“

“This place is awesome! They have excellent happy hour specials and their wings are some of the best in town. Try the mix sauce! Servers are always prompt and professional. Great atmosphere to watch any game. My wife and I have been a dozen times and each time was a great experience. Highly recommend.“

“Circles is our go to Restaurant in Apollo Beach. The salmon is something of legend. We have tried to recreate it at home several times in failure. Not sure what they do but its soo good. Their wings are pretty good and Grouper is delish. Drinks are pretty weak so if your dining in, be sure to stop by the bar and chat up your bartender. Outside ambiance is spectacular for Sunsets.Parking: Parking fills up quick on for dinner and on weekends. Can be a challenge to find a spot but they keep the flow of customers going in and out so you wont have to wait too long.“

“The most incredible place to hang out with friends and your furry bff!! Our adoptable dogs had a fantastic time meeting new people, while our humans drank beer and watched sports!! Best of the absolute best!! Dogs. Adult beverages. And did I mention dogs?!?! Absolutely perfect atmosphere!!!“

“I had lunch with my daughter today. Food was excellent. We both had gyros she had the Greek fries which were out of this world. I had the tabouli which was perfect and we had hummus for an appetizer. Very creamy and delicious. Highly recommend this place. very clean inside very friendly staff Will definitely be back“

“Happy hour is where it's at!! Regular prices are a bit much, but you can't beat a $4 well or $5 draft! Chill vibe, seemed like a nice place for locals and also for those like us, who came from out of town to see a show at the Ritz! Staff was super attentive, checking in multiple times to make sure we didn't need a new drink or want to order food. Around 5:30 things get a little dark and moody. The staff shut the lights out put or candle to get ready for the night life. Cute and subtle switch up, but it makes a big difference. We didn't order food personally, but the smells were smellin' in the best of ways! The table in front of us had two women, one ordered some kind of salad and the other ordered nachos. The nachos looked amazing and I did notice that the woman eating them did not finish the bowl, so they definitely could have been shared. If we end up here again the Nachos will be at the top of our list!“

“This place is awesome! They have excellent happy hour specials and their wings are some of the best in town. Try the mix sauce! Servers are always prompt and professional. Great atmosphere to watch any game. My wife and I have been a dozen times and each time was a great experience. Highly recommend.“

“This was our 3rd visit to Tapper Pub since the reopening. Never was a patron because of the smoking inside. No more though! We have enjoyed the visits and the food has been excellent! Pastrami, corned beef sandwiches have been excellent!! They have enough outdoor tables that even if you come upon a smoking customer, there are enough tables to separate from that! Bring your pup for Outdoor only though! Tabitha( day time bartender) hope I got that correct, is super nice and they have cold beer/wine but today are beginning to get the draft beer installed!! Give them a try in the Britton Plaza shopping area next to Publix!“

“Great venue to view the Water Works/ Armature Works area. Got there at 12pm and the only food option was their Brunch menu. Not a lot of opinions for a hungry diner. Our waitress (I wish I had gotten her name) was very pleasant and and accommodating. She was able to rustle up a salad for me which there were NO salad options on the menu. Next time I visit MBird it will be after 4pm when they have the full menu available.“

“We went here while visiting the aquarium. The food was excellent with very large portions. My kids got the tenders with fries, while my wife got the burger and I the grilled chicken sandwich. Everything was delicious and the servers were very helpful and attentive. Highly recommend if you are in the Tampa area.“

“Was drawn in from across the street by the atmosphere and decor and stayed for the enthusiastic and extensive craft beer selection. The owner’s passion for his curated menu of beers is contagious and we had a great time. If you’re in Ybor City and love good beer, this place is worth a visit!“

“First time at Oxford Exchange. Very good prompt, courteous and friendly service. The food was also very good. I would consider this to be more of an upscale restaurant but yet still has a casual feel. I would definitely recommend the Oxford Exchange.“

“Attended a poetry set here and liked the combination of alcohol and caffeine here for both types of energy (day or night). They have a good selection of mocktails and non-alcoholic drinks as well that I enjoyed. There is both an indoor and outdoor area for seating and you can access the bar from either side.Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for sober or sober curious drinkers.Parking: Parking lot in front of the location as well as in the back of the location and across the street.“

“Nice place to do some water side dining.Our server Noah was really good.There were about 3 conventions going on at the hotel; it was a mad house.Because of that the food did take a bit. Thankfully we weren't in a hurry.The food was good. Ordered lots of seafood.The charred octopus was delicious. Two big tentacle chucks to cut up.The Grouper dip was amazing. Our kids are up both of these.The Grouper sandwich was ok. The fillet itself was great. Just probably would have been better on rice instead of on a bun.The cuban was tasty.All in all, we didn't expect to run into all the conventions, and the staff was great at still staying attentive to us in the chaos.I would go back.“

“Bring yourself down to the bar not only for the drinks but the girl behind them, LIV!! Best service hands down and always makes sure everyone is having a good time and your glass is never empty! She’s the life of the party and lights up every room she walks into!! Go visit my girl!“

“Great French restaurant in the heart of downtown Tampa and walking distance from many hotels along the Riverwalk. High ceilings, classic modern lighting and great ambience. Flavors were rich and heavy but nothing atypical from traditional French cuisine. They are famous for their Coq Au Vin and Lobster Pot Pie.“

“This location is extraordinary with its views. It's so laid-back with a live band, dancing , conversations indoors as well as outdoors. Parking is at a premium. It's well worth coming to enjoy a meal with your loved ones and or friends.“

“I haven't been here in a long time but I heard they cleaned the place up and went non smoking. I'm used to going to smokey biker bars but this one has no ventilation and my friends who smoke even complained about how bad it was so great job on the new CJ's! I'm impressed! We had a great time at karaoke night and will definitely put you guys back on the list of bars to frequent. The staff was friendly and much nicer than times in the past. See you soon!“

“I'm guessing it's a different owner because this isn't the name of the restaurant. It's Puntacana and food was good. The ribs were delicious and I regret not getting more. We sat on the deck to eat and watched the cats play.“

“Talking Pint has some great offers on some really good food and a great beer selection. We tried the new chicken lettuce wrap appetizer last night and they were amazing. Also, don't underestimated this place for a great steak. they had ribeye available last night and it was cooked perfectly and they use real charcoal grill. Outstanding flavor and such a reasonable price for a chargrilled steak! We have had most items on the menu and they are all well made and tasty. This is a great spot.“

“I stopped in here for a beer when I was in the area and it was fairly empty in the afternoon. I had the Pour Father which was a Hefeweizen and it was cold, fresh and delicious. I think it was the only wheat they had so I stopped at 1 beer. The barkeeps were friendly, the place was clean and I'd imagine it gets a little busier as the hour gets later.“

“My husband and I are locals, and we LOVE Counter Culture. We have never had a mediocre meal here. Everything is always fresh and top notch. The flavor combinations are exquisite. It’s so nice to have a great meal and then go walk along Bayshore. Their outdoor area is great for fresh air and sunshine, and we frequently bring our dogs. James, by far, is our FAVORITE SERVER. He is super friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable. Every time we go to Counter Culture, we request James. One evening when James was not working, Lyndi served us and also provided excellent service. My only gripe is I prefer dill pickles on a burger - not sweet pickles. ;) Highly recommended - this is a gem in South Tampa!“

“I couldn’t wait to get To Tiny Tap tavern in Hyde Park. It’s the kind of place that everyone will feel comfortable in, especially with Michelle as the bartender. She told me all the history of Tiny Tap Tavern. Cheap beer, 50 cent pool, what else is their in this world? Oh, forget, WiFi too.“
