New American Restaurants near Gibsonton, FL

“This was a great place to stop at!! Love the views. The food is great but the service from Maddie was better! Anyone up this way stop by. Maddie is great! The dockside cuban was delicious.“

“Ponte does not disappoint! I took my husband there last night for his birthday and from start to finish, it was an amazing experience. The atmosphere is elegant and modern but not ostentatious or garish. The food and drinks were creative, expertly prepared, beautifully presented, and unbelievably delicious. And I cannot say enough about the staff. From Samantha, the hostess; Tyler, the manager; Bill, our server; and Matt, the sous chef; to the young man serving the bread and the multiple other staff who kept our water glasses full, everyone was professional, pleasant, knowledgeable and engaging. Samantha, in particular, handled a very aggressive and arrogant disgruntled man in the most diplomatic and professional manner. And this man was so aggressive that my husband and I almost intervened on Samantha’s behalf. But her diplomacy and professionalism did not waiver. To say she impressed us is an understatement. All in all, this was by far one of the best, if not the best restaurant experiences we have ever had. We will definitely return.“

“Love it here! Perfect spot for football games.“

“Everything was super awesome Ulele Rules“

“The food here is amazing. Very classy high end place to go for a romantic dinner. We will go back again.“

“Yummy food! We really enjoyed our lunch and will be back to try the dinner menu“

“We had dinner Sunday 429/2024. We eat here often. The food is always amazing and consistent; the service is always exceptional and the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant. The servers are always very professional and enthusiastic. Sunday, our server Everitt was exceptional. What a great guy with a great attitude. Thank you!“

“Just had lunch there for my son's bday. Couldn't be more pleased. Clayton our server was so gracious and funny . for the amount of food we ordered with dessert. It came under $200.00 so much bang for your buck. Will be going back very soon.“

“From the moment I stepped into the Edison on Tampa’s Water Street, Bri immediately caught my attention. Her tattoos and warm smile set her apart as an exceptional bartender. Despite the bustling environment, she made me feel like a regular, effortlessly managing the hectic bar with poise. I was so impressed by her service that I felt compelled to personally thank her manager, Jess, to ensure my appreciation was properly conveyed. A truly memorable experience, thanks to their outstanding hospitality. To the words I’ve learned from watching great hospitality, “Service is the technical delivery of a product. Hospitality is how the delivery of that product makes its recipient feel.”“

“I was visiting from out of town. The food was very good. The process is very much like chipoltle but with a healthier farm to table version of food. I thought it was going to be a sit-down restaurant. I was told the steak was a great option to go with along with the mac and cheese.. It did not disappoint. I got a mixture of rice and greens with the sweet potatoes. When thinking about this does not sound like the best combination. However, when you add the garlic aoili sauce, it is perfect. I like to mix my food up. I would definitely try another option should i visit tampa again.“

“Good food. Portions weren’t big but tasted really good. Friendly service.“

“OMG! I cannot say enough good things about this place. The food is fantastic, the staff is amazing everyone that I have had contact with seems like they love their job and the Manager Jason he the epitome of a Manager. A huge special thanks th Noel for making our first experience the ultimate we are a forever a customer now.“

“Finally got around to eating here, and will be coming back. The vibe, the drinks and let’s not forget the food but huge shout out to our lovely server,Hannah was the BEST, so full of life and great energy about her and was so helpful when we had all of questions, and shared her favourites with us, she even made my belated bday meal better with my very own sundae topped with strawberries and chocolate syrup!“

“We had brunch and it was amazing. Great atmosphere and friendly service. The food was delicious.“

“Our first trip to Bolay was excellent. The food was fresh and delicious. Staff were very helpful explaining options not mentioned on the menu, especially Tesean who was so kind and patient. It's great to have a place that can satisfy both omnivores and vegetarians. We'll be back!“

“A wonderful experience enhanced by Zoey who was an outstanding frontline ambassador for expected service and care. I ventured away from my usual Thai Bowl and tried the Big Italy with crispy chicken and spaghetti squash. Dang…was it good! Portions were sufficient, well-prepared and proudly served. This selection might just become my favorite at Cali’s. Granted, the staff consists of young adults who are, in the least, committed to going to work to earn their pay. Their attitude is encouraging. Some of the comments posted may not be fair. One has to allow opportunity for on-the-spot redress of an actual or perceived wrong (the menu is self-explanatory or can be clarified by simply asking). No matter - this was not our first time at Cali’s and definitely not the last. We look forward to our next visit and selections. Thank you … Zoey (and staff) for another great “Cali experience!”“

“So good! We come to Tampa once a year and always order from Cali. All the bowls I tried are delicious. My new favorite is the Hot & Crunchy. So good I ordered twice in two days! My hubbys favorite is the Spicy Brazilian. Their hot honey pizza is also delish!“

“The dragonfruit curd dessert blew me away. Our salad was nice and fresh and the cauli crust pizza was spot on.“

“A lovely little place to grab a glass of wine! I was extremely impressed with the wide selection of offerings that they have here, from craft beers to seltzers to some premium wine selections! I definitely do not consider myself an expert, and the fact they offer a wine tasting course every Wednesday is absolutely wonderful!we went on a Tuesday night (the 27th of Feb) and the gentlemen working there was awesome, I did not catch his name but he knows his stuff, made great descriptions of the wines and awesome recommendations. The charcuterie boards was a nice touch as well.“

“Dined here as a last minute option, but it turned out to be the best option. The food was amazing, the restaurant is super chic casual. The restaurant is great for that special occasion, and a chill hangout with friends. To top it off the service was extraordinary! I want to give a super shout out to our waitress Michelle from Rhode Island, she was awesome. She was super friendly, warm and made us feel special. Thank you Michelle for a pleasant evening!Parking: Valet service is great“

“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.“

“Fantastic brunch menu! Food was delicious, service was not rushed. Loved the Pumpkin Espresso Martini! Can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!“

“There aren't a ton of places that I get really excited about anymore but Fresh Kitchen is soooooo good! Healthy and delicious!“

“The food was super delish.I had the BLT sandwich with avocado and eggs…it was like sparkles in my mouth. Perfectly toasted bread, eggs sunny side up, fresh yummy greens, tomato and the bacon….omg the bacon is yum!I ate indoors and the music seemed exceptionally loud but the restaurant was clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and made a great sandwich so win win in my book.“

“Very good food and service“

“Staff Super friendly, Professional And Accomodating on mistakes and the food is Amazing Never Had a Bad Food Experience! I Eat Here Regularly Bacon Burger Bomb***** Tender meal ***** and Cajun Shrimp ***** and cheese fries ? I recommend“

“Overall, this restaurant has a great atmosphere, friendly service and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. Parking is easy and free. I would like to point out a few things that made this experience a little less enticing. My old fashioned was in a very heavy, medium-sized glass, which made the pour look very small. It just felt odd to drink from this glass as an avid consumer of this style of drink. Also, the large ice cube actually melted entirety before I could finish it which I have never had happen before. I literally walked from the bar to my table and before my steak arrived the cube was gone, which watered down my cocktail. I'm not sure if they use half size cubes, but there was plenty of room in that glass for a full sized cube to make that drink better. The drink tasted fine, but using a shorter, lighter glass with a large cube would make it more consistent with the swanky style of that cocktail.Another thing that was odd, was we ordered the lobster topped steak special for the night at $48. It came out with a full plate of french fries, like a meal from a diner. It may just be my opinion, but if we are going to order a meal that is $50, some elevated sides to accompany lobster may be more appropriate than fries. They were cold, and the steak needed more seasoning, so that didn't help either. I did have the filet mignon prepared medium rare and it was perfect. Again, it could have also had more flavor to the meat, but for $46 it was great with a loaded baked potato and Béarnaise sauce.The best part was the lemon cheesecake with raspberry sauce. It was refreshing and delicious. I definitely recommend that with an espresso martini. It was a little on the creamy side, but made well to accompany a dessert.Overall, this restaurant is perfect to celebrate a special occasion or grab a bottle of wine from their huge selection. It just doesn't compare steak wise to other more elevated restaurants in the area. The menu selections were very diverse with many different options, that they didn't really specialize in one thing.“

“One of my top choices. Super delicious menu. Fun and foreign atmosphere.“

“-Ordered on Uber Eats-Bought a Regular Bolay and Strawberry Orange Juice, and while the price is a bit higher on Uber Eats, I think the quality of the food is very good!The Jasmine Rice was still soft, the steak was a nice portion on top in big chunks and not at all rare but rather well cooked, the mushrooms were very big, and the broccoli was slightly burnt on some and was kind of mixed on sizes.The best part of the bowl though, was the garlic sauce.The Strawberry Orange Juice was also very good, a recommendation if someone had never tried the combination together before.“

“Excellent meal and wonderful service from Annie. My husband and I were heading to the aquarium and stopped in for a quick lunch…we ended up skipping the aquarium all together to just stay and hang out because we were having such a nice time. We will be back again to see her!“

“Lunch date with friends was a great choice. Shrimp and grits were super yummy! We shared and the portion was just right. Our friends split a salad and It was also good. Very attentive waitstaff. Friendly hostess. Love the decor and atmosphere.“

“Love this little gem in Tampa. Have been here on 4 separate occasions and will absolutely be back. The drinks are always delicious, both brunches and dinners were very tasty. Some of my favorite items were the Fred's Roasted Chicken and Buttermilk Bacon Wedge salads. Brought my husband here for a date night one evening and he liked it a lot as well. Unique place that has New York City vibe. Not a large menu, but enough to be able to choose items anyone enjoys. Service is always great starting from hostesses ending with servers and I absolutely love that they had multiple employees sign a card for me wishing me a happy birthday. Have never seen anything like this at any restaurant in Tampa. Recommend Willa's for sure!“

“Gorgeous atmosphere,attractive employees,good service & drinks! Go visit Lex!“

“Loved everything. Went here on a girls night out and tried the raw and cooked oysters with the bacon bites. TOO DIE FOR! And the Korean BBQ sushi roll was amazing as well. Let’s not forget the drinks! Very cute and very well made. 10/10“

“Unexpectedly delicious. They don’t use the full restaurant area just the seating by the bar which is a shame, but it must be related to demand. Service is still quite good and most of all the food is delicious. We ate here twice due to convenience and were very happy with the food and price. Hilton members get $30 credit per room for on site purchases and we were able to use our credits toward this restaurant. A steal if you ask me for the taste. Perfect portion sizes for family style between 4 people (6 people if some of you are light eaters).Everything we ate was great but special shout out to the mushroom pizza, almond and sweet potato salad, short ribs, and pomodora pasta.“

“Went to Mise en Place for my birthday and was not disappointed. The dining room is so romantic and service was fantastic. The shrimp app was perfection. I got the signature rack of lamb and was blown away. Every morsel of it was scrumptious. My boyfriend got the special Iberico pork and enjoyed it just as much. Highly recommend this place for a special date night.“

“Came here specifically to try the Messi burger and man it did not disappoint!The burger and all its ingredients were super delicious and it’s a good size. Their food,service, and atmosphere is really good, love the Messi burger addition??“

“Staff is friendly and food is amazing! Have to try the whiskey cake!!“

“Great place to play Cornhole on Thursdays and Sundays!“

“Was visiting from out of town and gave this spot a try...it did NOT disappoint. I couldn't believe I ate the whole thing. Also very affordable. The pork platter cost $10. Lady behind the counter was sweet. More of a casual, take-out restaurant“

“Best place to go to celebrate any event! Always tasty, interesting food, great service and fun. Love the sticky ribs and Golden Ticket!“

“My girlfriend group plans to meet here monthly! It is a central location and the food is excellent. We tried new things last night as well as our old standbys and it was wonderful. Good friends, good food...good times. I look forward to our next dinner.“

“The WINGS are FIRE!! I love all the elements this place brings to Tampa Bay! Day time hang spot, weekend social & music, amazing food & the friendliest staff! A true gem in our community!Parking: Behind is plenty of paid parkingKid-friendliness: Day time best for the kids. IMO“

“I went for a date night and enjoyed every aspect of the place. We were able to share a meal due to the large portions, the drinks are amazing and our server I believe her name was Denise or Danny was amazing! It was only her second day but she made sure to make our first experience a memorable one. We will definitely be back ❤️“

“Just wow! Great atmosphere, server could come back and check on us (new water pitcher), but the food was excellent. The Asian bulgogi tacos were juicy and left your mouth watering for more (nice if there was 3 instead of 2). The fries were seasoned and crispy. I highly recommend it! Korean approved bulgogi!“

“Visited this restaurant with a friend before going to see a show at the Straz and really enjoyed my experience! The fried deviled eggs are good and the waiter was kind enough to whip up an Arnold Palmer when it's not typically on their menu. The bartender (?) also kind! Incredible service and lovely servers - very much recommend.“

“Tampa's best kept secret is Bar Louie. The food is great. The atmosphere is such a positive vibe with great music. However the the folks serving the drinks are fantastic. I usually sit at the bar, and Raven and Gabe are amazing. They are both super friendly and make the perfect cocktail. Oh, I forgot to mention that happy hour will fit anyone's budget.“

“Amazing food and outstanding service“

“We had a great experience. The chicken sliders with siracha and Cole slaw were delicious. My family also loved the pork belly bao bun sliders and the pizza - plus the onion rings!! everything was exceptionally fresh and delicious.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu“

“The service here was impressive! The food was awesome. The bottomless mimosas were not weak like other places I've been. Our server Louie at the bar was phenomenal! Always made sure we were doing great and was so friendly to us! Definitely coming back here just because of him!!!“
