The decoration is really nice, I forgot what it was before but they kept the kitchen the same .. so overall- nice ambiance. Our server was good, she came back numerous times to check on us.

He and his daughter - both lovely people - prepared a large seafood paella and a smaller vegetarian one. They said dinner would be ready by 7:30 and it was exactly that! I called a few caterers for prices and offerings and Star was the only one to include fried plantains that were excellent. Salad too. They set up and packed out efficiently, brought a tent to cover the cooking area during a passing storm, and offered to take photos of our group at the end! Very nice family-owned business.

I have also lost over 50 pounds and I know it would not be possible without the portioned and controlled meals that I get here. They were a true game changer in my fitness journey.

Foundation Coffee up the road a short stretch. What more could you ask for? They also have terrific events for kids (art or farm tours) and families (yoga). So follow them on Facebook and our Instagram. They are out east of Tampa so if you live out that way or are out that way def stop in. You won't regret it. Feel good wholesome food that supports out local economy. And the prices are quite fair. Also Gulf Coast Sourdough and some other treats. Very kid friendly. Wholesome. If you're in South Tampa, South Tampa Farm is also cool and Sweetwater Farm is great in Town and Country, but this spot may be even better, especially for out east toward Brandon and Riverview. Good clean healthy fun. Fresh tumeric. Ginger. Other spices. Swiss chard. Keep in mind the local produce especially is seasonal. Fall and spring especially lots on offer. Beans. Pole beans. Okra. Maters. Beautiful and farm fresh grown. One of my fav places in the area. Makes me smile

Our food for two people finally came out at 7:02 (1 hr 13 m). It was Friday night, but they should be staffed appropriately. A couple who said they were regulars came ordered and walked out with their meals in 10 minutes. Huh? The temperature inside the restaurant was 88 degrees (see pic of thermostat). People were waiting outside where it was 90 because at least there was a breeze. Felt sorry for the two guys working there. The one guy (Adam) was super apologetic and made several nice gestures to make things better realizing I waited over an hour. Nice touch and the only reason my rating wasn't one star. Food: I ordered the onion ring burger half pounder. Bun was good, but wet by the time I got home to eat it. Condiments were good. The beef seemed low grade and a bit fatty. 3 of 5. My wife got the chicken gyro. Said it was good with no complaints and plenty of food. 4 of 5. Crinkle cut fries. They weren't fresh, some burnt. 0 of 5 Two chef salads...4 of 5 No napkins, forks, ketchup for fries...and no mention they weren't in the takeout bag. 0 of 5 Inside the restaurant was not clean or organized. Would not recommend eating in there. So overall...good amount of food for the price. Terrible on the wait. Food quality fair to average. Next door to movie theater. So many other choices...

We ordered Big City Grill through UberEats. Every Tuesday, my fiance and I have dinner night…read more Typically, we cook for each other but in the time of coronavirus, we have been participating in the #takeouttuesday campaign. After finally narrowing down what we wanted to eat, my fiance suggested Big City Grill. I've never seen this place, never been there, never heard of it. The UberEats menu looks a little different from the menu on their website but the prices match up. I had to look at both menus at the same time to make sure I was picking the right item on the UberEats app. I placed the order around 6pm via the app while I was at work. I scheduled the order for delivery between 7:15pm and 7:45pm. I arrived at my fiance's house around 7:30pm and the food was there waiting for me! My fiance said it arrive around 7:15pm, so the delivery was prompt. I ordered a double angus burger with cheese. The burger doesn't come with sides but it was less than $8 to begin with it. My fiance ordered the buffalo chicken salad with the meat and dressing on the side as a special instruction. We were glad to see the special instruction was followed. The burger was really good. It was cooked well-done, no pink at all but wasn't dry. It wasn't overly seasoned but it had a good taste and to me, seemed to be good quality meat. The condiments were fresh. I asked for extra pickles and that's what I got. The side of onion rings were crispy and tasty. Not greasy. Other reviews said the onion rings traveled better than the fries for delivery. Fries don't do well with delivery from anywhere really. My fiance's salad was good she said. It was large and came with an ample amount of buffalo chicken. At the end of the evening, we were satisfied with our meal. It was delivered quickly and was still fresh. The quality and taste was good and the whole meal, with delivery, came to less than $30. Big City Grill is a solid choice for a delivery meal.

I WILL be having that meatball sub soon! Yummmm! Then Robby (I believe that's his name), the owner, got sneaky and brought us both a mini cannoli! Holy cannoli! How can a cannoli be crunchy and creamy and light at the same time? idk but it was! This place also has items you can buy all from Italy! Pastas, sauces, etc. the coffee, beer and wine bar looked enticing too. But since I was on my business lunch break I had to pass. But... i will be taking the hubby and/or family there for dinner.
