Quick friendly service pairs nicely with cinnamon french toast or whatever your preferred breakfast might be.

Cute ice cream shop with great service and flavors. The ice cream is delicious, the waffles are delicious and the ice cream and waffles together are perfect.

Fun sports bar with really good wings, drink specials, and burgers.

Really good food and plenty of options to choose from. The pulled pork is a classic, but you can turn it way up by ordering The Rufus. The brie, cherry peppers and raspberry melba are insanely tasty together.

Really nice staff, quick service, great portion size and everything was so tasty.

Neat little place that packs big flavors, and has some neat options like gluten-free and keto-friendly.

Relaxed environment with excellent/friendly service and low prices. Definitely worth a visit!

Lovely and, during the off season, there's comparatively few people there. Pet friendly and there's a restaurant that offers some nice options. Obviously not accessible by land, but that's part of the charm.

Relaxed environment with excellent service and cuts. The ribeye is my go-to, but there's also a 3-course meal that is served early that I'd like to try. Very reasonable price and a solid selection.

Staff is just incredible. They treat you right, they let you know if there's a delay (which rarely happens), and they are just so incredibly friendly. I recommend starting off with the combo appetizer of eggplant, calamari and zucchini, all breaded and deep fried. I usually go with the lasagna, but the tour of italy is a great option to try more delicious offerings.

The gelato, pastries, and sandwiches are all delicious. I wasn't expecting such a solid spread, but man am I happy I went in!

Fun and funky, Punky's has a great environment, staff and really tasty food and drinks. Try the peach/blackberry cobbler.

Grabbed some bacon-wrapped filets for Father's Day to grill out and they were just delicious. Great steaks, well worth the price, and the experience was solid too. Will definitely be back.

Obligatory not a vegan here, but the food is incredible. I got the DIY bowl with the grain blend, broccoli, bell peppers and pickled veggies. The greek vinaigrette is super tasty.

Had to try this place after seeing it on Diners, drive-ins and dives. The Turducken is genuinely delicious. All the meats work together really well and it wasn't dry like some others I've tried.

I enjoyed the calamari fritti, insalata caprese, and rigatoni bolognese quite a lot. The mushroom side was perfectly prepared and very tasty.

One of the best kept secrets in South Tampa. I haven't been by in a while but Vizcaya has amazingly authentic and tasty Spanish plates and tapas. The Paella is absolutely to die for!

Fun and friendly restaurant with a nice selection of beers, and super dog friendly. Friends like the people watching, but seeing the friendly doggos and puppers always makes my day. Sweet and spicy wings are a must.

Intensely fresh and tasty seafood, and it's a great place to stop by when you're out on the water for the day or for longer.

Solid happy hour specials, and really well prepared and tasty cuisine makes this a sure-fire win. The carne asada plate is my favorite.
