In my scenario I had an Airbnb in the neighborhood that I arrived too early to check into. I was able to store my suitcases for a few hours while exploring the restaurants and bars of 7th Street. It was a seamless process and provided a quick solution to my dilemma. I felt like my possessions were in safe hands.

My order took about 10 minutes but the wait was worth it. The original Yuppi Wings were hot, crispy and succulent. I'm sure the crunch shook the ground. The wings didn't make it home as I couldn't stop crunching. The Mac and cheese was so hot and delicious that I had to take my time and eat it at home. Definitely a must try spot in Tampa Bay.

How cute is this place ??…read more Originally found on Yelp however I was not prepared for such good food nor vibes ! My party and I got the band for unlimited mimosas and buffet style food ... this food was sooo darn flavorful and filling !

We will be back and tell everyone all about it ! Thank you for the amazing time !

Went here on a night we wanted something casual after a stretch of fancier meals, and 7th + Grove's…read moresoul food menu caught our eye. Fair warning: this place has two personalities -- a restaurant side and a much louder dance-party side that share the same building. We opted for the restaurant side, which was surprisingly not busy despite the earliest reservation we could get being 7:30pm on a weeknight. The menu blends classic soul food (fried chicken, mac and cheese) with a strong New Orleans Creole influence -- gumbo, jambalaya, fried seafood, cornbread. Portions are enormous. We started with the deviled eggs ("D'Evils"), topped with fried chicken bites and lemon pepper dust -- excellent and surprisingly filling for just four halves. We also got the Nolia Clip, a vegan gumbo base loaded with fried shrimp, crabmeat, turkey sausage, and a full catfish filet -- essentially an entree-sized bowl on its own. For entrees, the fried chicken plate ("Let's Stay Together") was a standout -- moist chicken, crispy crust, great mac and cheese and collard greens, though the cornbread muffins were bland and watery-tasting. My jambalaya ("Burning Blues") turned out to be nearly identical in ingredients to the gumbo appetizer we'd already had, just a bit thicker and in a bigger portion -- worth knowing before you order both. We left with a full meal's worth of leftovers and zero room for dessert. Food quality was great across the board (minus the cornbread), and portions are a serious value. Service was the weak point -- slow to seat and slow table-side all night. Good pick if you're after soul food with Creole flair and don't mind a leisurely pace.

The sausage was amazing. Unsweetened tea was good, as well as potato salad and beans. Cons: the ribs were very large, tender and had a great smoke flavor but that's it. They were pretty fatty, although still had a decent amount of meat. But there was no real flavor to the meat other than the "smoke". The brisket was tender also but flavorless. I tried both sauces. Both taste very ketchup based with the Hot just being super spicy. I mixed the sausage and brisket together to eat so it would help the brisket. The location is great and in walking distance in Ybor, from the trolly or locals. Little house like place with two tvs on. One playing sports while the other was playing some Jerry Springer style lame drama, and was plenty loud for us to hear. Overall, very disappointed. The Smoker was going and gave us high hopes but lack of flavor made for a very dull meal.

My bestie and I always start with the Fried Green Tomatoes, which are cooked to perfection each and every time! So delicious. We also always order the fried fish, which comes with 2 sides. The fish is fresh and moist and definitely the main attraction for us. I'm in a rut and always order the sweet potatoes and the Mac and Cheese. What can I say - I love this combination so much it warrants repeating. Those sweet potatoes are amazing and the Mac is also excellent. I got a to-go order of the fried fish for my hubby and he wanted his with the Okra and Tomatoes, which he really enjoyed. We don't get down to Mr. B's very often, so it feels like a special occasion when we eat there. The staff is always so very nice and that's the icing on the cake. If you've not been here, don't hesitate!! You can thank me later. ;)

The server initially said they maybe out of chicken. Came back to say they had chicken left. My husband order liver and onions, she was unsure about the liver and onions. She asked the cook, who was walking around out front. He responded, yes we have liver. Okay, great we ordered. She said it will take 15 minutes. We said okay. She comes back out to say they have no Lima beans. My husband says why don't you tell me what you have and I will choose. It was apparent they had very little on the menu. It's 1:30pm on a Wednesday. It helps to know your inventory. The food comes out. I could hardly cut the chicken it was so dry and overcooked. It looked dark inside as if it was old. I tasted a little piece thinking maybe it was a different seasoning, it had an aftertaste. When the server came back, we inquired about the chicken. She said it is precooked in the mornings and cooked completely when ordered. I thought that's dangerous, letting undercooked chicken sit until ordered. The liver was so dry, you can see it in the picture. My husband could not eat it. They gave the impression that the food was cooked to order. It was not. The black eye peas and yams were good. The collard greens were okay. Not sure where the gravy on the rice came from. It wasn't from the liver. We didn't eat any of the food. They charged us for half the meal. I would have given a 1, but they were very nice. My goal is never to hurt a business. I'm a business owner. But, we must give a good product. We were very disappointed.

The rest of the staff did great clearing our plates and came through more frequently (food came out fast). We were one of four tables they weren't very busy. The food was AMAZING! I love that the Jerk Chicken dish was basically a sampler dish and we split it between two of us just perfect. Also if someone comes around to take your photo kindly decline unless you want an awkward experience about 10 minutes later when they come around to try and sell them to you at $30 per image! Honestly we thought it was just for social media. Again the food was good enough to look around all those things so I couldn't give less stars because to me the food spoke for the restaurant.
