    Beer selection
    Casey S.

    Ordered the spicy buffalo chicken sandwich. Not very spicy and sauce was very light runny and not something anyone put thought in to Chicken was moist but the outer part was not seared very well. You get chips with it, I do not think French fries are offered on any dish. Only bright spot was the beer selection was pretty good !

    Hanging out before our flight. Sat at the bar note: no alcohol till 7am... Great bartender with some really nice pours. Ordered some tots to munch on. They were really good! Crispy and delicious. Chill vibe. Great spot to hang before the flight with good tots!

    Blackened grouper with tots

    We had a little time at TPA waiting for our flight so we decided to check out Cigar City Brewing. It was nice to sit in a restaurant rather than a food court. There was a short wait for a table, but for the most part tables turn fairly quickly. Our server was friendly and seemed knowledgeable about the menu. I had the blackened grouper with tots. The grouper was tasty. Def recommend. Beer was good. Prices reasonable for an airport sit down dining experience.

    Cuban and tots.

    Full service restaurant and bar in the Tampa airport. Short wait to be seated, and server greeted us promptly. Table and booth were comfortable and not too crowded. Drink orders taken, though a couple of drink specials were not available. Wine and beer delivered to table expeditiously and food orders taken. Dishes were served after a short wait, Cuban sandwich was pretty good if not typically authentic. Tater tots were a nice alternative to French fries. Prices were reasonable. Not a bad airport dining experience!

    We came here to dine in and eat. The waitress was okay. She did give me wife extra tea, but did not refill our water. Food does take awhile to get so make sure you give yourself an hour of time to get. We ordered the Crab BLT and the Fish Sandwich which tends to be popular in Tampa. Crab BLT was good as I ended up eating all and the tots were good too. I did like the fish burger as well. We had yuca fries as well for an additional $3 dollars. Sweet tea was great as well. Overall, a great place to eat at.

    Havana Hot Chicken Sammich
    Katherine K.

    Our flight was delayed so we decided to come sit and eat and I'm glad we did. The prices are slightly more since it's in an airport, but not as bad as other airport restaurants I've seen. I felt a bit bad for our server as he was the only server working and there were a lot of tables. We started with Cuban Buffalo Crispy Boys, which were really good wings. Lots of flavor and perfectly cooked. For food, we got the Brewhouse Cheeseburger, Havana Hot Chicken Sammich and a Caesar Salad. The salad came with a lot of food and the lettuce was fresh with very crispy croutons. The cheeseburger was good, but slightly overcooked. Nothing unique about it, but a decent burger overall. The hot chicken sammich was good, but really tiny. The amount of fries and tater tots we got was also pretty disappointing. If they're going to serve such a small amount, then they should get smaller trays/plates to not make it look so empty. Overall, really not bad for an airport restaurant.

    This restaurant is inside the Tampa Airport. We stopped at 11 am for lunch before a flight. The menu has salads and sandwiches and appetizers. Our server was so friendly and sweet. I ordered a cheeseburger with fries. Food came out quickly and was hot. I asked for no pink on the burger and I sure got that. The burger was so dry and the bun was so big, it didn't make for a good meal. Service was the only thing that made this a 3 star review

    Black and bleu burger w fries . Paired with the house Cabernet Sauvignon. It was ok.
    . ..

    It was pretty good for an airport meal. The burger was a bit on the dry side, fries were whatever. Service was friendly. Wine list left much to be desired. They did offer water. Overall, not bad.

    Looks like the best of what this part of the airport terminal has to offer, sit-down meal wise. I would have to say that even with the expensive airport prices, this place is great for sitting down and having a decent meal while you wait for your flight.

    Espresso Martini
    Kate C.

    Wowzer! Very pricey but the martini was kicking! The bartender was great as well. Very friendly! Hubby seemed to enjoy his drink too. The bartenders were very attentive and everything was clean.

    a menu for a drink

    Nice airport restaurant. Very clean and the food is a great value. I was shocked the amount of food for the money; burgers were cooked to order and my medium burger was perfect! Our waiter was hilarious, he had funny names for everything which helped to ease my travel partners flying anxiety and get her laughing. A quick guide to just a few his comments. Tomato smoothy = ketchup Virgin Long Island = unsweetened ice tea Hunting instruments = utensils It was a great dining experience and the service was excellent. Restaurant area was clean and well organized. Chairs were pushed in and orderly at vacant tables which makes the whole place look more organized. After-all, if they pay attention to the little things then I feel confident in how they handle important things like food prep and proper handling procedures. Love the decor and layout of the location. Hope to be back soon.

    Cheeseburger with bacon
    Jonathan S.

    A nice little place with great food, it's very casual and it throws of a sports bar kinda theme. A good place for lunch or early dinner. I had the cheese burger with bacon and French fries. They were both delicious and I'd definitely order it again. My wife had the pastrami sandwich with broccoli and she said she enjoyed hers as well. The service was good, our server was very attentive and we never had to look for her. This is a place I'd definitely bring friends and family to

    Dirty seating
    Dan P.

    Best airport restaurant we've encountered. Food: Good burger and excellent salad Beer: outstanding draft beer. The pineapple IPA was perfect. Service: Desiree was simply the best airport waitress ever Overall cleanliness: average, some dirt on the seats but floor was generally clean

    Low to subpar! Bloody marry was not good at all. Quesadilla soggy, full of grease and almost not edible. Service was far, too lackluster!!

    We didn't get enough beer at yesterday's Dark Embrace, so we started the day back at the scene of…read morethe crime. Angry Chair was hosting a brunch to close out Tampa Bay Beer Week, and it was the perfect way to kick off the last day. I had a couple stouts and we shared a few of the brunch dishes. First up was the Chicken Biscuit with juicy fresh chicken tenders drizzled in hot honey and creamy goat cheese on a fluffy house made biscuit. It was so good we had to order the Bacon, Egg and Cheese Biscuit too, loaded with two over hard fried eggs, crispy bacon, and American cheese. We finished with the Breakfast Tacos packed with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheddar jack, caramelized onion, hatch chile, and sriracha mayo on corn tortillas. I washed it all down with a Barrel Aged Irish Cream Fionn Imperial Porter and Caviar Cowboy Imperial Pastry Stout. Both were a great kick start to the last day of Beer Week and paired really well with the food.

    Its sad when you see something that was once great go downhill so fast…read more They seemed to have given up on producing quality beer. The foods quality has gone way down. when you go to a "large" brewery, you'd expect more than 2 stouts, 1 IPA and a bunch of who cares sours on tap. And it was Tampa Bay Beer week. They had zero stouts bottled to go, and only their 8 year old average IPA in cans. It had nothing to do with the beer, but an order of chicken tenders were completely raw as well. they didnt charge us for the even worse replacements, but i wouldnt have paid anyway. I would suspect they ate running down the business and it will be gone within a year
