The Best hidden Cafe in Tampa! Just north of the Airport. The food is homemade and the service is the best! I have been going to my Place for 30 year! It is a true hidden Gem... The menu is good, but the Daily Special are very good at a reasonable price. read more

Loved the ambiance and the variety of drinks. Food was fresh and tasty.Great spot for a casual meal or coffee.

Best breakfast and lunch spot! If you want high quality homestyle cooking at an affordable price, then Anderson Road Café is the place to be. They offer great food at a reasonable price considering the higher priced chain establishments that charge significantly more and for less quality. The Café has very friendly staff who all provide great service to their customers. They have more than adequate space and tables for singles, couples, families with young children, and even small parties. There are many food choices these days but Anderson Road Café should not be overlooked. read more

Anderson Road Cafe - Fish & grits with 2 eggs and toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Place has some character sure but could use remodeling. I went here because I wanted steak and eggs. Unfortunately they dont serve eggs after 11am, which I could understand if they also served dinner past 3pm. However they're only open until 3pm though and it was super slow so I dont see why ordering breakfast at 11:30am would've been an issue. So I settled for the chicken gyro. Wasn't bad but was definitely mid, (something I could've probably made better at home). And I ended up paying almost $20, but felt like I didnt pay money, felt like i lost money. Truly disappointed. read more

Not as good as it use to be, services slow with poor. And the foods much greasier than it used to be. And when the order comes it's oftentimes inaccurate. Sorry to say this used to be a great place! read more

Great price and the food was delicious. I ordered the cheese omelette with egg whites and hash browns with cuban bread toast. $1 up charge. My partner ordered the 10oz steak, scrambled eggs and home fries and toast. She likes her eggs dry and they were cooked to her liking. The steak was ordered medium and cooked medium. After i ordered a bacon eggwhite and cheese sandwich for later. I ate it there lol. It was good. The coffee was fresh and kept coming. The service was outstanding and friendly. We never had to ask for a refill. Our server was that on top of things. I believe she was the only server at the time. 6:30am to about 8am. We like to linger during meals out not because our service was slow fyi. We left full and very satisfied. read more

Come see my new friend Shelley at this great traditional diner. The breakfast reminded me of childhood Saturday mornings with my grandparents. Fresh, cooked perfectly, pancakes. Quality eggs. Yummy, cooked to request, bacon. Fresh coffee. Excellent conversation. read more

We walk in very early and were greeted by a chipper server named Susie. We are not morning people but Susie made being up so early, a better experience. The food and service was excellent and we will definitely be back. read more

Ok, here's a lesson for ya. Stik with what you know is good. Another trip to Anderson's and I thought I'd try something other than the fish...mistake. What was advertised as the London Broil Steak Sandwich came out as burned tasteless tough trimmings. Stick with the fish and chips. Lesson learned. read more

Legit diner!! What a gem. Great prices for brekkie and lunch. Didn't take photos of the pork chop dinner, their country fried steak special both came with mashed potatoes and gravy, corn and a slice of Cuban bread, very filling. We also got a Greek salad, huge, tasty, and clam chowder and chili. Only took photos of the chowder and chili. Was too hungry. Server was super sweet, attentive and knowledgeable. She also wore a mask. We also got a half sweet half not iced tea and it was perfect. I'd def recommend this joint. read more

Anderson Road Cafe - Bowl of chili - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tampa, Florida

They dont care anymore-grits are not boiled in salted water, order is never the wat you order them, been asking then to get smoked sausage for over 7 yrs-toast is never really thoroughly toasted. Butter tasted as if fridge needed cleaning as it had picked up a stale/old taste. Horrible county inspection report. Who reuses gloves ugh google Hillsborough county restaurant inspection before dining in, or eating out/getting takeout. This Nurse has had it! read more

Excellent Breakfast spot! This place is truly a hidden gem and I am thrilled that we stopped in. The service from Dayani was incredible, she is truly genuine and provided amazing service. The Food was plentiful, tasted incredible and all homemade! You have to try their Eggs Benedict with Hashbrowns that we had covered in cheese, onions and mushrooms. We added the biscuits and gravy and blueberry pancakes, which were to die for. Do yourself a favor and come eat here. Highly recommended. read more

Anderson Road Cafe - Eggs Benedict with Hash-browns, full order or biscuits and gravy with extra gravy and three blueberry pancakes. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Tampa, Florida

One of my most favorite places in Tampa. As a little girl I used to get so excited with my grandfather or parents would take me here for lunch. The owners are a fantastic couple with a love of food and people that you can immediately sense when you walk in. Mostly lunch regulars that work in the area, its packed at lunch time and is just the right amount of full on Saturday mornings. Everyone knows each other and if they dont, they welcome you with an immediate hello There are daily specials that are easy on the wallet but absolutely delicious. I always joke with my dad about getting the Monday Spaghetti because there are usually traces on his tie. The homemade Clam Chowder is a must try and anything greek on the menu is always a delicious bet! If you are a breakfast person as I am, the egg and cheese sandwich on fresh cuban bread is a must try on Saturday mornings... plus real shredded and flat top cooked hash browns. You cant find those anywhere anymore!! Next time you are in the area stop by and make some friends and enjoy a delicious traditional meal! read more

Definitely a hidden gem! The food was very good and good prices. We were able to sit where we were comfortable away and properly social distanced from other customers. Will definitely be back again when in town! read more

Due to my unexpected day off from work courtesy of Hurricane Irma, I searched for a breakfast spot nearby and that lead me to the Anderson Road Café. From the outside it's not the best looking place, but my breakfast delivered. Props to them for not closing early and panicking like Panera and Starbucks. The parking lot is extremely small and it's tough to get in and out of. Inside is a lot larger than I had anticipated as there were over 20 tables. Nothing was crammed and the restaurant was very spacious. The menu had terrific value to it along with a nice amount of options. My food was out in under ten minutes and the portion was enough to feed two people. Every ingredient on my dish was cooked nicely and it tasted great. My server was very nice and came around often just to check on me and refill my drink when needed. The mom and pop atmosphere with diner feel to it makes it feel like you're right at home. The breakfast is definitely worth the trip to Anderson Road Café. read more

Food is very good. This is a hidden Jen. Exactly what you would expect from a cafe/diner. Breakfast came pretty fast, not a long wait at all. Will definitely come back. read more

Found this place in accident about 8 years ago as I had a warehouse back in the area, have loved the place every since! Best breakfast in Tampa hands down. Best biscuits and gravy in the country (trust me I've worked in 30 states) Owner is a great guys and the service is always fantastic. Don't judge a book by its cover, this place is great! Great prices as well. read more

Anderson Road Cafe is another Tampa istitution, of the independent being in business for years. Yes & no they change with the times. Initially I don't remember the fish & chips all are talking about & truthfully I have never tried it. This restaurant is open for breakfast & lunch. It seems I am in the area at breakfast time & that brings a smile to my face. They say the test of a good cook/chef is how well they can cook eggs. Let me tell you, they can cook the shit out of eggs, in every posative way. This is a favorite breakfast spot, for great food, service & prices. If you are looking for a tremendous ambiance, outstanding service, keep driving. If you want good, honest food at a fair price, pull up a chair & sit a spell, & let the food speak for itself, if you can find a spot to park. What's a girl to do? Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. read more

Amazing staff and cook! We love the delicious food and feel this is one of our favorite hidden gems here in Carrollwood.

As we all know, it is hard to find anything consist. Well I found it; right here! Everything from the smiling faces to the great breakfast I feast on. Is always something I can count on getting at this cafe. read more

Got a to go order today. Little hole in the wall. Clean. Very friendly staff. Got a cheese omelet and rye toast. Hard to mess that up, but I did say well done and it wasn't quite there. Good prices. I'll go again. read more

We ate here for the first time going on the ratings. The soda was flat and they didn't change it out. Hmmm...Husband ordered Bacon Cheeseburger and I ordered an Italian Sub. The Bacon Cheeseburger tasted like it had liquid smoke on it and it was ok. I ordered the Italian Sub an needless to say it was a Disappointment!! To say the least it looked like a lot of meat, however the bread was stale and way to much for this sandwich. I've never seen an Italian Sandwich not toasted or hot. I'd love to make the owner an Italian Sub and see what he thinks. read more

Got the biscuits and gravy, we were not that impressed. Yoders in sarasota has the best biscuits and gravy

Been going here for years. Charming little place to have breakfast or lunch. Great daily lunch specials that include tea for an extra dollar. I haven't found anything I don't like. My favorites include Country fried steak, baked chicken, salsbury steak and open faced turkey sandwich. Friendly service. Definitely recommend. Only complaint is the parking lot has patches over patches, needs to be re-paved badly. Be careful when driving in and out. read more

Great roadside diner! Longtime extremely friendly staff! Great daily specials! Great prices! Lightning quick service!

This place is a to-go place for a lot of workers in the area.. Great meals at a very reasonable price

Perfect! What a diner should be. The fish and chips were on point. My wife had the beef burrito and it was so big she had to bring half on for dinner. read more

Just started working in this area. I am a HUGE fan of small business and I support it as often as I can. I drove by this place a few times on my way to work and thought "I'm gonna have to try this place"...Well, it's a good thing I did. Fish N Chips are fantastic...Not the frozen fillets you find in the store...These are fresh cooked. I'm afraid that the Fish N Chips are all I have sampled, but you can bet that I will be trying other menu items. And now that I know they serve breakfast, I'll be trying that too! Stay Golden Anderson Road Cafe!!! read more

A true hidden gem. This place needs to be featured on diners driveins and dives. They serve breakfast and lunch, this is a mom and pop place with excellent home cooked meals at a very fair price. The fish and chips are very good, as well as the baked chicken. They have about 6 daily specials and I highly recommend the egg sandwich on Cuban toast. The staff is very nice and the owner can be seen behind the bar most days, read more
