I've had many Cubans throughout the Tampa Bay area, and I can honestly say this was the best I've ever had. The quality was exceptional -- the meats were incredibly fresh, and the balance of juicy pickles and tangy mustard elevated every bite. Beyond the food, the atmosphere impressed me as well. It's a cool, spacious venue with a long bar and a welcoming staff that made the experience even better. I would absolutely recommend it and plan to return. I'm still impressed by how outstanding that sandwich was.

The wings were flavorful without being greasy, and everything tasted fresh. What really made it special were the free-ranging chickens around the restaurant--it added a unique, wholesome touch and made the whole experience feel intentional and authentic. You get the sense that the food here is thoughtfully sourced. I'd absolutely recommend stopping by.

This was our third stop of the evening and a genuinely pleasant one, helped along by Andrea, who was friendly, upbeat and made the visit feel even more relaxed. We ordered beers and their roasted hummus, which came with thin‑sliced cucumbers and carrots. When one of my friends mentioned that he's allergic to carrots (yes, really), Andrea didn't hesitate. She brought out a basket of tortilla chips so he could enjoy the hummus without worry, and the rest of us made sure the carrots stayed far from the shared plate. It was a small gesture, but it added a nice touch of hospitality. The whole place has an easygoing vibe, the kind that makes you want to linger a little longer, and its spot right on the main drag of Ybor makes it an ideal pause point on a walking tour. It's a dependable, welcoming stop that's well worth including. [Review 41 of 2026 - 2226 in Florida - 25232 overall]

The area surrounding the restaurant is beautiful and makes for a great place to walk around and explore. Once inside, the atmosphere is just as impressive, and thankfully the food, drinks, and service live up to the hype. My dad and I started with the Gator Tail appetizer. Neither of us had ever tried alligator before, so we were really curious to see what it was like. Turns out, we loved it! It tastes surprisingly similar to chicken and was a fun way to try something new. For our mains, my dad ordered their famous Meatloaf, and after trying a bite, we completely understand why it's one of their signature dishes. It was excellent. I went with Barry's Tomahawk Pork Chop, and it was outstanding. The pork was cooked perfectly; juicy, tender, and not dry whatsoever. The real star, though, was the guava demi-glace, which added such a unique and delicious flavour to the dish. The beer selection was great too. I especially enjoyed the Wedding Beer Berry Lager, which was refreshing and packed with flavour. We also saved room for dessert. We tried the Candied Maple Bacon Ice Cream and the Bourbon Butter Cake. The ice cream wasn't really my favourite; I thought the cornflakes were a bit of a strange addition, but my dad enjoyed it. The Bourbon Butter Cake, on the other hand, was delicious and a great way to finish off the meal. Between the beautiful setting, excellent food, great drinks, and friendly service, it's easy to see why Ulele is such a popular Tampa destination.

What more could you ask for, oh yeah hot and good food. Well guess what - they do that and they do it really really well. I got the skirt steak and I joined the clean plate club. I loved it.

Tampa Bay Brewing Company in Ybor City offers a wide variety of options across both food and beer,…read moremaking it a solid stop for groups with different tastes. We sampled the local Reef Donkey brew, which definitely lived up to the hype--smooth, flavorful, and well balanced. A great choice if you're new to their beer lineup. We started with the hot pretzel served with queso and mustard. It came out warm, soft, and perfectly salted--ideal for sharing and easily one of the highlights of the visit. The pizza was generously topped and very cheesy, which we appreciated, though the quality of the sausage could use some improvement to better match the rest of the ingredients. We also tried the hot chicken tenders with hot honey drizzle. Flavor-wise, they were decent, but the portion size felt closer to boneless wings than tenders. The fries were hot and crispy, but overall the chicken itself could benefit from a crispier exterior. Worth noting for future guests: the Red Eye cider buffalo sauce comes with a $1 upcharge. Overall, this is a fun spot with a strong beer program and solid starters. Hoping to return in about six months to see improvements and refinements to the food offerings, as the potential here is definitely there.

After flying into Tampa we…read morewanted to stretch our legs a bit so walked the Main Street in Ybor City and stopped here for lunch. If you are a beer drinker, this definitely is the spot for you as they have a plethora of craft beers both on draught and in bottles. We don't drink but did enjoy a craft root beer from Abita that was quite good! Everyone enjoyed their meals and the service was very pleasant and swift. I had the fish tacos which were really nice and were served with tortilla chips and a side of salsa. Pretty good lunch fare but if I ordered this for dinner, a third taco would have done the trick. The bathroom was another story. It was fifty and the odor was rough and the toilet was actually missing the top of it. It was the kind of spot that would make the heartiest of sailors blush. Would definitely check out this spot again for a good, quick bite.

You can tell they don't just throw ingredients together; everything tasted intentional and well-crafted. The food was even better.

The Buffalo mac and cheese was creamy with just the right amount of heat, and the homemade chicken tenders were next level. You can taste that they're made in-house -- juicy, crispy, and not your typical frozen tenders. The smash burger was massive, enough to split amongst two people with leftovers to go! Juicy burger with caramelized onions and gooey melted cheese. Everything was to perfection. Between the drinks and the homemade comfort food, this spot is definitely worth coming back to. Highly recommend!
