They even had vegan steak options, which was plus for me because I love vegan meals. I've never saw that type of option at a steakhouse. Even though I was excited about the vegan options, I ended up having the salmon and mash since it was highly rated. What an AMAZING choice! It was flavorful and cooked to perfection. I'd definitely go back to try more items.

We were traveling with an elderly disabled family member who uses a mobility scooter. Although there were designated accessible parking spaces, the ramp leading into the building was so narrow that her scooter couldn't safely use it. Once inside, both the retail store and the restaurant had aisles that were too narrow for the scooter to navigate. As a result, she had to leave the scooter behind and painfully walk with a cane, which left her exhausted before we were even seated. The retail store itself was packed so tightly with merchandise that it felt more like navigating an obstacle course than shopping. Much of the merchandise was gift-shop fare at prices that seemed difficult to justify. The restaurant appeared disorganized from the moment we checked in. We watched multiple parties who arrived after us get seated before we did, including a party of two being seated at a table that could accommodate eight guests. Meanwhile, our elderly disabled relative was told she could wait in a chair next to the restroom. When we were finally called, we were seated at a table at the very back of the restaurant, requiring yet another long and painful walk for our relative. After looking over the menu, we found the prices surprisingly high for the offerings, and there wasn't enough that appealed to our group to justify staying. At that point, we decided to leave without ordering. After driving more than an hour based on the restaurant's reputation, the combination of poor accessibility, disorganized seating, and a menu that didn't provide good value made the trip feel like a complete waste of time. We ended up driving into Plant City instead, where we found a welcoming restaurant with reasonable prices and a much better overall experience.

Blue cheese chips with tomato and a balsamic glaze, prime rib sandwich and a burger bowl, yes there is a burger under that pile of arugula. Brought dessert home from their mini bakery to enjoy later. The background music was just a nice volume so as to not overwhelm the table. If you go try to not let them seat you at the furthest back table against the wall in the side dining room. Definitely a turn off given the open vibe of the other dining areas which had openings.

I always love getting the Tuna as my protein option cause not very many places have this option Teppanyaki style. My gripe comes with the service and not so much the chef or wait staff but the time it takes to sit down. It doesn't matter if I have a reservation or if I come in as a walk-in, anytime I want to sit at Teppanyaki tables, my wait is anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour. It doesn't matter if the restaurant is busy or if the restaurant is dead, all of my experiences have been the same with that same wait time. This seems to be a common issue with this Kobe's and I think it's a huge issue that they need to resolve. I'm very hesitant about even giving three stars because of that cause this makes it such a hard restaurant to frequent or recommend. If they are able to fix that one issue then I know I would come here much more often. With that being said, if you choose to eat at the dining room, you won't have any wait issues, but people come to Kobe's for the show so you'll be missing out on part of that experience.

I rode into Tampa's Frontier Steakhouse, a place famed for its 100-ounce steak challenge and Western swagger, and let me tell ya, it's a five-star spread that'd make a longhorn proud! Here's my tale, spun in cowboy lingo, 'bout the wildest feedin' corral in Florida. I moseyed up to Frontier Steakhouse on a dusty sundown, my spurs jinglin' and my Stetson tipped low. The joint's got a look straight outta Dodge City, with a humble facade hidin' the meaty treasures within. Steppin' through the swinging doors felt like crossin' into a saloon from the ol' frontier days. Orange walls glowed warm as a desert sunset, and sturdy wooden tables stood ready for a feast. The decor's pure Wild West--neon bull signs blazin' like a campfire, cowboy art hangin' prouder than a sheriff's badge, and a vibe so cozy it's like sittin' by a chuckwagon under the stars. Ain't no fancy frills here, just honest-to-goodness grub and a nod to the cattle trails of yore. The main event, though, was the 100-ounce steak challenge, a beast they call the "Six-Pound Showdown," served with a baked tater, salad, and a roll, all to be wrangled in 75 minutes for a free meal, a T-shirt, and a spot on the Wall o' Fame. This ain't no dogie--it's a slab o' beef bigger than a saddlebag, cooked over an orangewood fire that gives it a smoky tang sweeter than a prairie breeze. When that monster hit my table, pardners, the whole place rang with cowbells, like a stampede was comin'! The steak was a sight, seared to a perfect char, medium-rare as I like it, bleedin' just enough to make a carnivore's heart sing. The tater came foil-wrapped, fluffy as a cloud, and the salad? Well, I pushed that aside faster than a tumbleweed in a twister--ain't no room for rabbit food on my plate[Image] I dove in like a gunslinger drawin' at high noon, my knife slicin' through that steak like it was butter. The orangewood and oak fire gave it a flavor so rich it'd make a prospector trade his gold. Each bite was a burst o' beefy glory, tender yet hearty, with a crust seasoned by their secret blend o' herbs that'd make a chuckwagon cook jealous. I tore through that meat like a coyote on a jackrabbit, the crowd cheerin' louder than a hoedown. 'Bout halfway through, my belly was fuller than a cattle baron's wallet, but I kept goin', fueled by the spirit o' the West and the promise o' braggin' rights. The staff were friendlier than a saloon gal on payday, rootin' for me like I was ridin' a bronc. One server, seein' my carnivore grit, slipped me a side o' beef drippin's--pure tallow, smoother than whiskey, for dippin' my cuts. Another fella, a grillmaster with a mustache thicker than a buffalo's hide, whispered 'bout a "Cowboy's Cache," a secret stash o' smoked brisket ends for true meat hounds. Them scraps were so tasty, I reckon they were smoked by the devil himself to tempt a man's soul. The challenge ain't for greenhorns--six pounds o' steak is a tall order, and I didn't quite clean my plate in time. But even failin' the clock, I ate enough to make a grizzly jealous, and they still snapped my picture for the effort. The Wall o' Fame in the lobby, lined with photos o' past challengers, gleamed like a trophy case in a sheriff's office. The price, if you don't beat the clock, is steeper than a canyon cliff--$65, they say--but worth every cent for the spectacle. The Western decor kept my spirits high as I chewed. Paintings o' cowboys ropin' steers and broncos buckin' wild hung on the walls, remindin' me o' the open range. The neon bull sign cast a glow over my table, like it was blessin' my feast. The place hummed with chatter, lively as a barn dance, but never so loud you couldn't hear your pardner. It's a family joint, with locals packin' the place tighter than a cattle car, all drawn by the promise o' steaks grilled to perfection. By the time I waddled out, my belt strained like a corral gate holdin' back a herd. Frontier Steakhouse is a carnivore's paradise, where the meat's as endless as the plains and the decor's got more Western heart than a John Wayne flick. That 100-ounce challenge is a legend worth chasin', even if it bucks you off. For the grub, the vibe, and the grit, I'm givin' this place five shiny stars, brighter than a desert moon. Saddle up, meat-lovers, and ride to Frontier Steakhouse--it's the best darn feed in Tampa!

They have soups, salads, sandwiches, dinner plates, seafood and even vegan options. There is no shortage of options here. I had an ice cold Yuengling draft and we ordered the mozzarella sticks for an appetizer. These were crispy, steaming hot and cheesy. The marinara dipping sauce really stood out to me. It was chunkier than normal marinara and just boasted a flavor that seemed made in-house, not from a jar. For dinner, I ordered the grouper Rueben and my wife ordered the Melt. The grouper Rueben had fresh well cooked grouper on it. Thousand Island dressing brought the sauerkraut and Swiss together and it was all packed inside a tasty marbled rye bread. I opted for the side of sweet potato fries. These had a really nice sweet potato taste and didn't seem to be previously frozen fries. They were good! They just needed to be more crispy. They were a little soft and soggy, some of them. My wife enjoyed her melt. It was basically the burger version of my sandwich. Marbled rye bread, onions, Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing.
