The food here is amazing quick and easy. They offer a decent verity of sandwich's and hamburgers. Including a rotating hot plate options. Been coming here for a few years now, I don't think I've had a bad thing personally. Also the portions are absolutely heavy. If you get the hot plate you will be walking out with a few pounds of food. They don't skimp on the rice and beans! Things that I recommend are the Cuban, Hamburger, Hot plate chicken and the hot plate pork. Can't go wrong with any of the sides here too. As for the location it's nothing over the top. Outside has plenty of parking but can get full during lunch time. Inside is the same some seating not to much. It's more of a Togo place but still can normally find a seat. If you are in the area and are hungry stop by before 3pm.

They are packed with incredible flavor, loaded with meat, and you definitely get your money's worth. With prices this reasonable, especially compared to other places around town, it's hard to beat. But the real star for me is the POTATO BALL! Oh. My. Goodness. It is absolutely delicious and so big that it could easily be a meal all by itself. It's my favorite thing on the menu and a must-try! Even with how busy this place can get, the staff moves FAST. Everyone was super friendly, welcoming, and efficient. Brocato's is absolutely worth going out of your way for.

We asked the cashier for recommendations and he mentioned the Pork Drizzler and Billy Cheesesteak. We ordered those and a side of fries. I asked for mushrooms on the side for the cheesesteak. Portions are generous so we decided to split both sandwiches. Our favorite was the Billy. The Drizzler was juicy and tasty but the Billy hit it out of the park. The fries were thick and salted just right. I will add that the service here was exceptional. Will definitely be back next time in Tampa!

We shared a Cuban loaded with ham, and could have used a bit more roast pork, but I was not disappointed. Everything was there for makings of a great Cuban. They've also incorporated a good selection of hot foods ready for plating or to-go. New tables and chairs have been added for a sit down for a quick bite. The restroom is clean but a second one would be useful. After our meal, the owner offered a fresh Cafecito sample and spoke with us about how she'd recently taken over for the previous tenets who'd been at this location for 38 years. This is a recommend from me! I won't hesitate to return for another good meal.

We chose cake slices as there are many options and everyone had a favorite. The cakes give me a homestyle feel. Like homemade cake and icing. Gourmet southern goodness. The cakes are slathered with lots of icing, which I mostly removed because I like my cake without. Which to me tells me how good the cake is that it can stand alone without the frosting. Hummingbird, lemon, chocolate, and carrot cakes reign supreme. The frosting on the chocolate cake makes the cake, it's fantastic. We also tried the massive cinnamon rolls which are 5 stars! I will definitely be visiting Wright's for cakes for the next party. It's sure to be a party favorite! And excited to get back to try some sandwiches, the Alpine cake, and Chill Bros icecream!

I've had it for my 21st Birthday (2019) and my college graduation (2020) so far. Their chocolate cake is my FAVORITE cake of all time, and their red velvet and alpine is not to be slept on.

I was there with my mom and my five month old daughter in a stroller, which wasn't easy. This was my first time here and the process of ordering and then waiting for your order to be called was stressful. I checked the menu online before going and there was no mention of the slice specials which I couldn't see easily from the line. I also couldn't see the slice bar or flavors available while in line so that wasn't helpful. The fountain for drinks is behind the counter so you can't get yourself a refill. Instead, you have to go through the crowd again to ask an associate to do it for you. Associates were helpful with my questions. No one was wiping tables down between customers. I ordered the Yo Adrian, Bianca slice, cannoli and lobster tail. The Yo Adrian was okay. Too much soft bread, not enough cheese, good amount of onions and some of the meat was chunks rather than shaved. The Bianca slice was primarily burnt on the bottom and didn't seem fresh which is sad considering we were there before noon. The cannoli was good. The lobster roll pastry was great; likely because it was fresh. The ice cream is in boxes, which have had the top cut off and the cardboard was wet and peeling in one of the boxes I saw while waiting in line. I think skipping the ice cream seems like a safe choice. I won't be rushing back but will return at some point to try a breakfast sandwich on a NY bagel and order a whole pie to try so it's fresh.
