The atmosphere was lively and modern, making it a fun place to hang out with friends, but the food and drinks were a bit hit-or-miss. The burgers were decent, though slightly overcooked, and the fries came out lukewarm. read more

Amazing food and service! I loved that it was on the water as well, definitely recommend!

This is a great waterfront spot just over the walking bridge from the convention center. It can be busy so prepare to wait. On a recommendation from our server I ordered the Tuna Poke, and I must say that young lady steered me right! It was full of flavor and made to perfection. The tuna was clearly sushi grade and served perfectly chilled. My lunch partner ordered the turkey club and found it really good, but be aware it had a bit of a kick to it. He was not sure if it was the turkey or possibly spicy mayo that contributed to the heat. Nonetheless, he enjoyed it. Good food, friendly service, and a great place to watch the water, don't pass this place by. read more

Great place along the water to enjoy brunch or just drinks. They offer both inside and outside seating. Pretty popular place, recommend advanced reservations for tables. The food was good. I enjoyed the club with fries. Others at the table enjoyed salads and many other available options. The bar area was hoping and seemed like a popular place for both locals and visitors. The view of the water along with doc ships was fantastic. read more

I was in the mood for sushi but saw their menu online and saw this poke was their house speciality. Hostess was warm and welcoming and seated right away. It is a Monday at 1:15pm. My order was taken right away and food came out immediately. My server was super attentive. They had a steamy flow of guest at bar and tables. Fabulous view of the River walk and music in the background. If ever back in Tampa I would definitely stop by once again. Maybe I can stop by before I leave. I had the AHI TUNA POKE which was delicious and a big portion size. read more

Stopped into American social for brunch and had a delightful experience. The service was great and the music selection was great for Sunday Brunch. I ordered the guava Mojito cocktail and fruity pebble chicken and waffles. The dish was a really huge portion. The chicken was juicy and succulent, and the flavors from the strawberry jam and maple syrup were delicious. I will be back to try dinner. I parked in the parking garage, which the restaurant gives you free validation for the first two hours. read more

American Social has never disappointed me. Whenever I go, I always sit outside for the ambiance and view, but last night my daughter and I sat inside in the room they use for private event. It felt intimate like we were in our own home. I love the decor, the beautiful dark blue wall, the fireplace and everything else. Our server was really nice and attentive. Our food was good as expected, but that loaded guacamole was a 10. It was a great experience as expected and will always recommend American Social. read more

Came in for a quick bite since we were at a nearby event, and the fish and chips did not disappoint. My hubby does NOT like fish, and after tasting mine (to entertain me of course, lol), he actually thought the breading was pretty good! This place was pretty busy, and though we didn't get the service we should have, we also kept in mind that perfect weather weekends was going to have this place super busy. Loved the outdoor seating, vibe, and cleanliness. Oh and the bar area has a ton of monitors facing a few directions which was nice. So the magic question we always ask, would we return? Probably, as we did enjoy the quick meal and outdoor freshness. Oh, and the people watching, very entertaining as well lol read more

Alyssa was our server, and she was absolutely phenomenal! Her food recommendations were spot-on, and the drinks she made were a perfect 10/10. She was friendly, attentive, and made our entire dining experience even better. If you're in Tampa, be sure to ask for Alyssa, you won't be disappointed! read more

Amso is one of my favorite establishments on the planet. I went for my birthday yesterday for happy hour and had THE BEST time yet again. The staff (Hope & Nicole mainly - incredible wait staff) were able to accommodate all of our requests for 20 people!!!! They brought out bottle service with birthday signs & my favorite dessert there (the carrot cake) with a candle. Truly so special. They have one of the best happy hours ever (4-7pm weekdays $6 - I recommend the skinny marg of guava mojito and so many deals running 24/7 dip duo: 2 apps for $20, I'll have what she's having (drink & food deals Thursday nights), & so many more. They are always keeping everything fun & fresh. They are always revamping their menu, keeping things exciting, & ultimately giving the people what they want!!!! They recently upgraded their brunch menu items and before that added a bunch of new apps like chicken tenders (BOMB), fish dip, crispy avocado fries and delicious handhelds like green goddess chicken Caesar wrap & chicken salad sandwich (both of which were much needed in my opinion as 2 of my fav foods ever) AND a FIRE spicy vodka rigatoni (I like to add the short rib). My friends always love to get the oysters because duh and by far my favorite menu item that I RAVE about is the green goddess salmon - brown butter carrot puree, Brussels, cranberries, crispy leeks..... need I say more. It's unreal & consistently incredible. Whenever I get a handheld I make sure to upgrade to the spicy ranch wedges (seasoned move) but their fries are also SOLID. I also love love love their soft pretzels app that comes with a fire queso BUT make sure to also ask for a side of their honey mustard. Top tier stuff. I put my friends onto the loaded guac yesterday and they were levitating. If you haven't been to amso, it is a MUST. I can't say enough good things I love it there so much (whether inside or outside, vibes are high; service is efficient, drinks are cheap, and food is GAS. read more

Waterfront dining with a very kind/helpful staff and lots of food options. I wish I had thought to take photos, but we ate everything up the second it hit our table. We did the Sunday brunch, which I think was the way to go. Parking is underground and VERY easy. They validate 2 hours of parking fees for you as well. I am not often in Tampa, but would come back. read more

The ambiance is top tier! The inside provides a luxury dinner experience, while the outside patio is perfect for any occasion, day or night. My servers have always been fantastic, but I've visited a few times and have consistently found the host stand experience to be less welcoming than expected. Overall, it's a beautiful spot, but the first impression could be improved with friendlier hostess service. read more

This was our first time coming here and it did not disappoint at all. Maddie our waitress was so awesome and sweet. Whatever question we had she answered or found out for us. The food was really delicious and flavorful. The ambiance was really nice. Definitely recommend this place. read more

Hosted my birthday brunch at American Social and had the best time! They made me feel so special with a birthday sign, and our server was incredibly attentive. I had the steak and eggs, which were absolutely delicious! I've been to American Social plenty of times before, and it's always a good experience. I love the vibe and hanging out there more than anything. They do have good drinks too, so no complaints. The only downside I've noticed is that when I stopped in to watch college football on a Saturday, they didn't have the Big Ten Network (at least that's what our server said), so we ended up leaving. For a bar like American Social, I would expect they'd be able to play a college football game. read more

WHAT. A. VIBEEE. Came here with my best friend and absolutely loved it. From the moment we walked in, the energy was everything. Maya was our server and she was THE BEST--so attentive, fun, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend the ahi tuna salad and the hot honey pizza... both were AMAZING . The menu hits, the drinks hit, and the atmosphere ties it all together perfectly. They also have brunch and bottle service if you're looking for a late-night vibe, so basically it checks all the boxes. I'll definitely be back for both. Plus, the view of the bay is unreal--truly the perfect backdrop. 10/10, no notes. I'll be returning. read more

Had a fun girls night out at American Social for happy hour. I finally got to see what the hype was about. We sat outside and got beautiful views of Tampa's Riverwalk. Even at 6pm, it was still so hot and would recommend to sit inside next time, then head outside to enjoy the views. The food was SO good and their passionfruit margaritas were such a hit with us. So refreshing and full of flavor . Our service was outstanding. Our waitress kept checking on us which is a plus for me! I had the crispy truffleshroom burger with truffle fries and I recommend it, if you love mushrooms! So delicious. Definitely a great spot for casual vibes, tasty bites, delicious drinks and a little photo op on the cute green deck area near the water. Parking is free for 2 hours with validation. read more

My family and I visited AMSO the other night for a late lunch/early dinner and asked for a table on the patio (we brought out dog with us). I was so glad to see that they had such a nice patio and I appreciated how dog friendly this spot was! The menu had a lot of great choices and the cocktail menu was also expansive! Our server was super quick at bringing us water and taking our drink orders. When we were ready to order, she answered questions and made recommendations. I asked for the grilled shrimp tacos and couldn't wait to try them. The cocktails were really good and when the food came out, the tacos were not just grilled to perfection, but extremely flavorful. I was so glad that I ordered them. Just the right amount of food. The location is simply divine as the patio overlooks the water and we could enjoy the sunset while enjoying a cocktail and some food. Pro-tip, if you park in the garage, they will validate your ticket at the hostess station so be sure you bring the packing ticket with you! read more

Food: Ordered the spinach & artichoke dip, mushroom pappardelle pasta, and crispy truffleshroom burger. The pasta was fantastic, perfect amount of mushroom to sauce to pasta ratio. The burger tasted like a normal burger. The spinach & artichoke dip didn't blow my mind. Drinks: ordered the cucumber fizz and PB&J Old Fashion. The cucumber fizz was a refreshing drink. PB&J Old Fashion was unique (the small PB&J slipped down the stick so by the time it was retrieved, it was already soaked in alcohol.) Ambiance: It was pretty crowded, so I think that's why it was so loud there. It was pretty difficult to hear the person across the table. View of the riverwalk is nice. Service: it would have been nice if they refilled the water but like I said, they were pretty busy which may have contributed to this service. read more

First time ever visiting and the food was amazing! I know it's just a "club" but it was hands down one of the bests I've had. The staff were extremely friendly on a busy weekday on the patio. If you've never been you have to try it, can't beat the view from the patio. read more

First stop in Tampa and we will definitely return if in the area again. You need a reservation to find a seat on the weekends. We snagged one on their patio and the weather was great, mixed in with all the patrons cheering on the games on TV. Service started out slow but luckily picked up. The food portions are plentiful and their lemon pepper wedges are to die for. They are located at a great place on the river to watch the boats or just people passing by. read more

This place was great. The food was amazing but pretty pricey But totally worth it. The naughty strawberry was delicious!! and not pictured we had the spinach artichoke dip as an app. As for my entree the server recommended the Maui tacos and wow they were full pf flavor. I love lime and it had the perfect amount of lime juice. Delicious!!! And afterwards we went outside to see the view. Gorgeous. And they had Superbad playing on the projector. Glad I picked this place out - it was a perfect way to start our vacation. read more

This place (known as AMSO by the locals) was an AMAZING spot for lunch! Out of everything we ordered there wasn't a single bad bite. I ordered the kimchi fried rice with steak and it was INCREDIBLE!

We also started with the ceviche which was great! read more

American Social - Harbor Island, Tampa What a great spot! American Social on Harbor Island checks all the boxes for a fun, relaxing night out in downtown Tampa. The waterfront setting is beautiful, especially in the evening, and instantly sets the mood. The food was absolutely delicious, and the cocktails were well-crafted without feeling overdone. The atmosphere strikes a perfect balance--lively enough to feel the energy of Tampa nightlife, yet relaxed enough to actually enjoy a conversation and the view. Whether you're stopping in for dinner, drinks, or both, this place delivers. Swampy joined us for the evening and gives American Social a big tails up for great vibes, great views, and an all-around enjoyable experience. Highly recommend if you're in the Harbor Island or downtown Tampa area. We'll definitely be back. #TampaEats #HarborIsland #AmericanSocial #swampy #SwampysAdventuresAndTallTails read more

Round 2!! I'm so glad I am able to do a follow up review. It's been awhile since our first visit to American Social Tampa. First time was not so great. However the Area Manager Jason Thompson was so gracious and invited us to come back. So Easter Sunday 2025 was the day. I want to shout out our server Ashley. Amazing. Sweet. Very attentive. Ashley made our time there memorable. She made recommendations. She was patient. Loved it. My drink of choice was the Naughty Margarita. 10 out of 10. And for my entree had the Santa Fe Turkey Club with fries. It was pretty good. My granddaughter had a cheese pizza. She finished it all. She's definitely a fan. Overall the ReDo was good. My husband and I have made plans to return for a date night. Thank you Jason for being so gracious. And thank you Ashley for being an awesome server!! read more

This is a solid place to come for a good time during the weekend. Fun vibes, friendly servers, lots of TVs with lots of football games going, and good views. Food is solid. It's your standard brunch items if you come on the weekend, but portion sizes are solid and is well executed. All in all, a place I would come back to if a bunch of friends wanted to meet up for some solid food and good vibes :) read more

I wish I could give half stars because American Social is a solid 3.5. The restaurant has a great vibe. It was trendy, modern, and lively. When we went on Saturday at 1:00 p.m., there was music playing and the atmosphere was upbeat. We sat outside with a great view, and the people watching was top tier. I've honestly never seen so much spandex in one place at one time in my life. Our server was excellent. She was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. My friend and I ordered iced teas (some of the best we've had anywhere), and she kept them coming without missing a beat. She even brought us a carafe and extra ice since it was melting fast. The food, however, is why this place lands at 3.5 stars instead of 5. Deviled eggs appetizer: good, but nothing special. The eggs were a little small. Santa Fe Turkey Club: tasted good, but one side of the bread was unevenly sliced, making it awkward to eat. I upgraded to the ranch wedges after the waitress said they were crispy and worth it. They were fine, but not crispy. My friend said they were very salty and couldn't finish the wedge. Chai yogurt (my girl friend's order): total miss. There was less yogurt than what I had in the two tiny complimentary hotel breakfast cups, and the granola came in solid blocks that required some serious chiseling. Chicken Caesar (my friend's order): looked dry and tasted dry. Bottom line was great service and atmosphere, average food. It's a great place to hang out and get drinks at the bar but I wouldn't be back for food. read more

Went here on a Tuesday around 5pm. They have a great happy hour from 4-7pm on weekdays. On tuesdays, they also had a taco Tuesday menu with some discounted tacos and additional discounted drinks. The food here is okay. You mainly go here for the views. The server we had was sooo sweet and attentive! She continually checked to see if we needed anything! I will say, this really is not a place you want to go if you are expecting a dinner on a weekend night. Past 7pm it turns into a very loud bar atmosphere so keep that in mind! read more

Despite being known as a nightlife spot, American Social has some great food. I've had good food here on a previous occasion but unfortunately do not remember what I ate. I've had the following recently: Beyond burger: 10/10 Fantastic. The sauce really makes it great. Cooked perfectly. Hummus: 9/10 Hummus is good. Love the toppings. The best part about it was the watermelon radish slices to dip in it. I've never liked radishes but these were great and had the perfect crunch and texture to go with hummus. The pita bread was okay. Garlic broccolini: 7/10 Nothing special. Not a lot of flavor but it was good. read more
