I took my partner to Yaya Southern Cuisine last Sunday as he wanted soul food to celebrate his…read morebirthday. Neither one of us had been here before but I saw it had very good reviews on Google. We both got the chicken dinner with different sides. He had the Mac and cheese and I had mashed potatoes since they were out of candied yams. We also both had yellow rice and collard greens. We also shared honey cornbread and hush puppies. Everything was VERY good!! There were a few downsides. We came on a Sunday evening and most of the food was sold out. The women who took our order said Sundays are also busy so we notated that for next time. The wait time is very long since the staff is limited. That day it looked like there were 2 or 3 people working. Lastly, I ordered a lemon poundcake and when I got home, it wasn't in the bag. I was pretty upset. The inside is nice, although very small so I would recommend getting the food to go. They don't allow call ins in advance so be prepared to wait. The staff were also very friendly. I would go back but earlier in the day and double check that all my items were in the bag.

We've now been back twice and it feels like we're a part of the family already. I want to try everything on the menu but everything we've had so far has been absolutely spot on. My wife and I both grew up in the south so sometimes there is nothing that hits like mom's home cooking. Problem is, mom is now hundreds of miles away so Yaya has brought home to us. And that is invaluable.

Our visit started off on the right foot when Nina greeted us right away and never took her eyes off of excellent customer service. She was top tier. The food was also a hit! I had the fried fish and grits. The oversized portions were giving southern hospitality. The cornbread was worth the trip alone. So good! I also tried the yams and collard greens, which were also good. I got the peach cobbler to go, and I wasn't a fan. I'm thinking next time I'll try it warm while there because there's no chance all the food was that good and the cobbler didn't bang like the rest. Overall, I'm a fan. I'll definitely make a return trip when I'm in the area.

I happened to stumble across this place while looking for places to have brunch in Tampa. It's a…read morenice urban social restaurant and bar. It has 2 sides. A full service bar and restaurant on one side and a lounge type atmosphere on the other side with a live DJ. They play a variety of rnb and hip hop from old school to modern day. I really had a nice time. The reason only 4 stars was due to the host not being actively present at the reception area when you walk in. He was too busy on the lounge side dropping it like it was hot and helping the bottle girls "hold" the sign. We stood at the host stand upon entry for a while until someone went to get him from the other side. The food was just "ok". For the price of the food I expected more. I had the lemon pepper honey wings and the chicken and French toast. The wings were not cooked through and served in a bowl which made it very difficult to eat. It came with 2 cornbread muffins that were dense and very dry. The French toast was great. I opted for the one with peaches and icing. It was great. It was served with chicken tenders. Again, in a bowl, which made it very difficult to cut, as I had to dig in the bowl. They were ok, a little on the dry side, the breading was falling off but they were edible. The drinks were flowing and the vibe was good. No complaints there. Would I go back??? Yes, I'll probably try something different on the menu. I feel like if the service was a bit better, more attention to detail on the food and the plating of food was different it would have earned 5 stars. But I had an overall nice time.

I really enjoyed the fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and sweet rolls. I also grabbed dessert and went with the banana pudding, which I loved, though there were plenty of other options that all looked delicious. I was a bit disappointed with the cornbread. Service was great. Even though the restaurant was super busy, we didn't have to wait long for a table, and the parking lot was packed but still manageable. Overall, a great stop after a busy day out.

As soon as I heard that, I knew we were in for a treat! Being welcomed in before even arriving is just hospitality at its finest. Onto the food. I ordered the Snow Crab shilah, and let me tell y'all, I've dreamt about it ever since. The flavors in every bite were incredible; I was so full after eating half, but I couldn't put it down it was THAT GOOD! Oh, and don't skip out on their lemonades, especially the Blue Mermaid! I'll be counting the days until I'm able to go back. The ladies I talked to there were lovely, the food incredible and deserving of every recognition. If you're in the area, check it out. If I lived closer, I'd be there near daily. 10/10, highly recommend!

I also bought a plate with rice and stewed turkey wings, Mac and cheese and greens. The greens and Mac and cheese was really good. However the rice and meat were a bit high on the sodium.

Brooke was a sweet server. She had a full section, but always managed to meet all our needs. I asked her to choose between two dishes, and she said I HAD TO get the Bronzed Salmon. It did not disappoint. The salmon was delish and the whipped potatoes were perfectly seasoned. I did push the golden raisins to the side because I found them unnecessary for the dish, and the cauliflower was pretty raw (I don't think it was supposed to be) but still full of flavor. We got a pitcher of the White Sangria, which was super yummy and refreshing. Lastly, for dessert, we got the chocolate pecan pie. I'm on the fence with that one. It arrived a little deflated. I think it would have been better cold or hot. Room temperature wasn't at it's best.

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.
