All the food here is clearly home made, the greens, Mac n cheese, we're all seasoned well. The ribs were smoked & could be eaten with no sauce the flavor was down to the bone. I was stoned so I did extra all hot sauce on the ribs. the picture is with two ribs already eaten. I was the only white person in the store, which then I knew, I would not have to worry about the food not being seasoned or sauced up. You are in great hands here. 10/10 I am from Seattle & appreciate the soul food.

I would say everything that had bourbon and it was great for this restaurant, but we only liked one out of the three cocktails that we got. Optically everything is beautiful inside of urban still house. Where I struggled was all the food that we ordered was OK when you're paying for best we're better than what you would normally have. So if you're going for drinks atmosphere I think this is a great restaurant, especially with the bourbons. Food there are just too many other good places around town.

They were tasty but a little over breaded. Then I had a single smash. It had really great grill flavor, fresh fixings and a brioche bun.

Debs chicken salad sandwich had great flavors and I am not usually a fan but this one was good. Great sounding sandwiches here. Looking forward to trying other options.

Walk up to these guys and their smoker in a parking lot - super friendly, super knowledgeable about their food. Simple menu, but everything is AWESOME. We grabbed brisket dinner, rib dinner and an extra half chicken (it looked too good to pass up). The dinner has sides of incredible baked beans and potato salad. Then move one to grandma's dessert - we chose lemon cake and pound cake. But so many other choices were available - all home made. The desserts were incredibly good. Tip - absolutely order the brisket and ribs. For the chicken, they'll chop it in chunks with a cleaver for easy finger eating. I recommend asking to keep the half chicken whole and pull it apart and avoid the bone fragments. Get the hot sauce on everything- not too hot, but so tasty. The beans are crazy good, don't pass them up. You want BBQ - go here. Hams R Us is incredibly good food. Don't miss it.

Who knew that one of the best grouper sandwiches in town was at a college bar/restaurant? But it's…read moretrue and they have the local reviews and awards to back it up, not to mention the groper sandwiches. We stopped here once before to try the highly acclaimed grouper sandwiches only to find out that they had a large event on campus that day and were completely out of grouper. Undaunted by this set back we returned this week and luckily they had grouper. Aside from the traditional styles of Grouper sandwiches (blackened & grilled) they offer 4 unique styles, Crunchy Grouper, The Journalist, The Adventurer & The Greuben. I've had a bunch of the grilled & blackened version so I tried The Journalist. The Journalist is Fresh Florida Grouper - served on a homemade rosemary roll with lettuce and tomato.The grouper is grilled and topped with mushrooms, onions and swiss cheese. Most hardcore groper fans would scoff at this combo since it masks the true flavor of the groper which is light flaky fish with a mild flavor. But what the heck, I've had tons of "regular" grouper sandwiches so why not try something completely different. It was awesome and the mushroom, onions & swiss cheese combo added a unique flavor. They don't offer sides with each sandwich so I added the potato salad and it was fresh and had great flavor. My wife ordered the Greuben blackened, she also was very happy with her choice. She has ordered other versions of this before and really liked that the sandwich wasn't overwhelmed with 1000 island dressing. The service is self ordered from the counter and if you're looking for a high end atmosphere this isn't the place. Remember it's located on the USF campus. But one of the advantages of it being on campus is the food prices are very reasonable. So if you want a kick ass grouper sandwich and a good craft beer, you found the right place.

We arrived at 5:30 and it was packed, but a table opened for us within two minutes. The ambiance was awesome, with each table having its own miniTV! Guests didn't have to choose between watching Wimbledon or the World Cup (or anything else they chose). Such a clever idea and probably great for entertaining kids, too. The server was prompt and friendly, and we got our drinks and app ordered immediately. We split the corn dog as an appetizer (felt right for 4th of July), and my husband declared it was one of the best he ever had. A great ratio of the sweet fried dough and salty hot dog. Definitely a reasonable portion to split as an appetizer and still have room for an entree. We got the tomato and corn salad as a side, which was a nice palate cleanser. I got the bacon cheeseburger (sub a pretzel bun, which you can absolutely do) and my husband got the Van Helsing. Both were excellent. He got regular fries and I got sweet potato fries and a side salad, also fantastic. My meal was exactly what I wanted - a classically delicious cheeseburger (I removed the bacon and put it on my side salad, which I highly recommend). My husband's had perfectly cooked garlic cloves and a nice zest with the jalapeños. They also had a great tap list to go wash everything down! We left stuffed but not feeling like we were going to die. It was a wonderful experience for start to finish and we'll be back!

I got the crispy duck wings (and do not know why I didn't take a picture ) but they were very crispy and very good. They came with 2 sauces, which I did not try because they said they were a bit spicy and I don't like spicy, but they were plenty good on their own. I ordered the One Bad Pig with a side of sweet potato fries and of course had to get an extra side of tator tots because I love them. The burger was very good and juice, hard to eat because it's so big, but I managed to do it. The tots were crispy just like I like them and the fries were your typical sweet potato fries but very good. The service was attentive and good and it seemed to be a local crowd and was a nice vibe. It is off the beaten path so not too touristy but the locals know about it so it gets crowded. I highly recommend this place for a burger if you are wanting one!!
