    Quesadilla
    Debbie F.

    As I arrived late in Tampa on Christmas Day, we found this place still open. We knew we'd found the right place as if we were destined to come in here. This is a place where "they know your name" where you're not a stranger, but family. Everyone was in their holiday pJ's so cheerful.The servers were very friendly. There was a free open buffet bar offered for everybody and every food item from the lasange, green beans to the pumpkin pie was delicious so I knew the items on the exceptional menu would be also and I was correct. If I owned a place like this, This is a way I would run It also.. people first. I would love to return again..

    Great salad. Wanted an iced tea and the server told me they had t made it yet for today. I appreciate that so much that they didn't try to use the tea from the day before (lots of places will reuse the tea from the day before! Ugh!). And the salad I ordered was huge fresh and tasty. The server brought me more dressing too! I ended up taking half of it home. Great lunch

    Large bar and adequate seating. 10 tvs spread through out bar and seating area. Specials set for everyday. There is a 3% charge for credit card use. Lunch was good. Great service and great location to get quick and tasty food.

    Broccoli and wings

    I ordered lunch to go on 5/9/25 and should have left the restaurant when my mom and I spotted a roach crawling at the bar area. They forgot to put my broccoli in the bag and when I returned had the nerve to give me very small servings of the broccoli that they forgot. The wings are really small for the price as well. The waiter could definitely stand to work on her customer satisfaction skills.

    This bar is small but has a lot of personality. The bartenders are not just attentive but make amazing drinks and are super personable. I love playing pool here and on certain nights they have a awesome DJ. I enjoy every time I come.

    Loaded tots

    Newer place. Stopped by here for dinner and it was pretty empty. The staff is very nice and they seem to be still training some servers so please be patient. Ordered wings and loaded tots which were both tasty. The loaded tots were generously dressed and there was plenty to share. They have a good amount of bar seating and that appears to be the money maker here. The rest of the restaurant is kind of set up oddly: there are room dividers in the corner, randomly placed TVs and a counter in the back that doesn't seem to be used for anything. I think they are still trying to figure out their layout. Not sure what was in this spot before, but it could definitely have a lot more potential to be a cozier spot. I'd go back and I hope they do well.

    Great night life on the weekend. I didn't drink or eat but the music was lit. Next time I'll eat and drink so that I can post more.

    Sitting pretty in its pastel turquoise skin under a Florida sun that doesn't know how to quit. You…read morepush open the door, past the cheesy little signs pointing every which way like lost souls, and you're hit with the smell of old wood, stale beer, and fried regret. ​It's dark inside, the kind of dark that hides your mistakes. Neon Bud Light signs buzz like angry hornets, keeping time with some golf tournament droning on a TV screen. There's a skeleton dressed up like a bartender holding a plastic cup, which is about as honest as the service gets. ​I sat down at a lightly sticky table with my dog. I snagged the perfect table upon the disembarking of the sloppy family with thrir soda splasung dloppy mannerisms. They let me hide Iris under the table. That big, brown hound of mine. Parked underneath the food and drink, looking at me with more loyalty than any woman I ever knew. I ordered a drink that came in a glass tall enough to drown your sorrows in, topped with a lime slice that had seen better decades. The menu offered up everything from gator bites to oysters, standard grease-trap poetry to line the stomach before the booze takes over. ​Outside, the world keeps spinning in its pathetic, sunny circle. Inside, you just sit there with your glass, listening to the ice melt, wondering how the hell you ended up in a joint named after a reptile in the middle of nowhere. ​It's not much, but it's a chair, it's cold, and nobody's asking you any questions. Four stars. Pour another one. ​

    Got into town and was starving! This place popped up as places near me so we decided to give it a…read moretry. Great idea, thanks Yelp! First impression was a little suspect because it's clearly a house turned restaurant/bar. Once we got inside though, I loved the charm of it. There are different rooms you walk through and they have it all set up with tables and chairs....all different kinds so it's a modge podge of tables. Then there are cool chandeliers over the tables and bar signs everywhere. Our waitress was a new implant to Florida and she was super sweet and helpful. She also made a mean vodka tonic! Ok so let's get to the food. First we ordered the Fried Alligator Bites and the Fried Green Tomatoes as appetizers and they were both delicious! The alligator wasn't super chewy and the voodoo sauce was banging! I went with the Shrimp and Grits and sheesh I was blown away! I loved the texture and the taste of the grits. They had just the right amount of cheese and the shrimp were cooked perfectly! The hubby got the Grouper Tacos and he said they were good but a little dry. He wished they had some more toppings...either sauce or pico de gallo. My daughter got the mussel pasta. She loved the mussels but was disappointed by the penne pasta. She wished it was a bit saucier as it only had a lemony/wine liquid that wasn't sticking to the pasta. All in all this place was good. We will go at least once more since it's by where we're staying and I want to try a couple more things on the menu.
