“We were in Tampa running an errand, so we decided to Google Maps a Caribbean food place near where we were and picked this place from the list. It's a tiny to-go only little place in little strip center. However, the food was Big on flavor and cooked perfectly. We got the lg goat and the lg ox-tail. It was enough to feed 4 people and was delicious. We will definitely eat there again. Oh and I would've taken pictures, but we were eating like pigs before I thought about it!“

The meat fell off the bone on the turkey, the collards had bite and cabbage had crunch and the yams were fresh and actually candied. I would definitely recommend. Can’t wait to try it again. Hope I can get My order in early enough to get some of that mac & cheese when I double back.“

“OMG... My husband and I just tried this place for the first time. yes... yes... yes yes yes!!!!!! When I tell you I ate ALL of my food, and I usually don't do that. We had the fried fish (escovitch style), cabbage (I wanted like a whole plate of this), peas and rice and plantains. EVERYTHING was so on point. I wish they had veggie patties (hint hint) cause I would definitely get it with coco bread since we don't eat beef or chicken anymore. I should have ordered the mac and cheese! I will next time. Just know this place is a MUST try!!! Great food!! Thank you!!“

Our waiter was amazing also and well educated about the menu and drinks and the amount of heat. Even suggested a safe alternative for my “I want chicken strips” 10 yr old. 10/10 we will definitely come back when in Tampa.“

It’s so delicious, always tender falling off the bone and the sides are so fresh. The juices are great too. I love the passion fruit. This is a family run and owed establishment. The boss lady is super nice and the son always makes up laugh, the daughter is so sweet and always smiling. They treat my sisters and I so well. And it’s always a pleasure going there. Whether I sit and eat or take food to go it aways taste great.“

“If you're wanting some good food (especially good authentic Trini food just like Mama makes back home) you need to come here. Coming from a FL born and raised girl, this food is delicious. From a girl whose been to Trinidad and had plates full of Mama's curry chicken and roti, it makes me feel like I'm back there. Not only the food, but the customer service. The owner came out and talked with us and was so sweet even while we were ordering. I appreciated the conversation and telling us about when they have new specials. 100% a must visit for anyone.“

“I dined at Lepley's for the first time at the invitation of friends, who had planned to go elsewhere, but we could not get a table right away at neither place. So we sat at the bar, and the bartender's service was excellent. I ordered shrimp and grits, and requested a side salad, which they provided at my request instead of the large entree portion. Both were very good, and my friends enjoyed their meals as well. A DJ played music during our Saturday lunch, and the music was clean. I could've done without it, but it's not a deterrent. The service and food deserve at least 4 stars. Space is not large.“

Jerk chicken flavor was amazing but I had a lot of loose bones in there and chocked on one because they try cut the chicken into pieces for serving. Oxtails were really good.
