Great location, good parking, clean, perfect cheesesteak place and a very accommodating owner. We went straight in on standard Philly Cheesesteaks, and gotta say - they were stellar. In fact, I liked the Cheesesteak here better than the one at Delco's, which is rated as one of the very best in the Tampa area. They've got the Philly staples like egg and peppers, as well as burgers and dogs. Great selection of sodas and Italian ice, as well as really nice seating options outdoors. Highly recommend!

Very simple and straight to the point Phillies. You select your cheese of choice. Make it a platter for $2 more. I will say the word "platter" is deceptive as it's only a small side of bland fries. Drinks are sold separately. They offer sodas and beers. Awesome customer service despite the lackluster in food. I like the interior diner style decor. There's indoor/outdoor seating. Definitely a place to grab a quick bite before or after downtown shenanigans.

Margarita was one of the best we had. All the tapas we tried were very good. Definitely come backread more

We FINALLY tried Pulpo Kitchen & Lounge and WOW, was it good! We wanted an early dinner so we made…read morereservations for 5:15pm on a Friday - it was lovely and quiet at that time, but it got busier as we were leaving. It seems an ideal place to go with friends and order a variety of dishes to sample and share. We began with their signature Peruvian Ceviche with coconut and kafir lime (the non-spicy version for me - there is also an ají amarillo version you can get with a bit of a kick to it) and the Smoked Mussels Toast. The ceviche was served in a deceivingly small bowl that contained a generous amount of fish and it came with crispy plantain chips. The mussels toast is a dish I NEVER would have ordered myself, but I let my husband pick and it turned out to be my favorite surprise of the meal. Served on crispy toast points with salsa macha aioli and a green pepper adobo that worked beautifully together. I could not rave enough about this dish! (Just try it! You'll thank me!) Our next 2 small plates were the Pulpo a la Gallega and the Lollipop Lamb Chops - both incredible. The octopus had a lovely char, but was very tender. It was served with crispy and slightly spicy papas bravas. The lamb chops were served on a bed of pistachio butter - and yeah, it was AS amazing as it sounds. My only complaint is I wanted about 6 more lamb chops...I kid, I kid. But seriously, we will probably order 2 plates of these next time. Deliciously tender and again, had a lovely chargrilled taste to it. At this point, we were too full for any more savory small plates, but, there was just enough room for dessert! We tried the Guava Sorbet, topped with a rum and cream cheese fondant icing and pomegranate seeds. This was light, refreshing, surprising, and I would 100% recommend it to cap off a good meal if you want something a little sweet that isn't too heavy. We also ordered the Mini Churros, which were a little more indulgent, filled with a light custard cream, topped with a sweet and salty plantain and graham cracker crumble, and served with a dark bittersweet chocolate sauce and a tart passion fruit sauce. I don't typically love sauce with my churros, but both of these were so good we practically drank them like shots! For our first experience at Pulpo, it was fantastic! Looking forward to a return visit to try even more of their dishes and cocktails.

Ooh-La-La! SOLID 5 STARS!…read more $5 house wine 4-6pm. Great eclectic Menu. Fancy service and a chef who knows his ingredients. You can't miss at LaLa. Started with Cabernet Sauvignon ($5). Then Charred Octopus Appetizer ($19). Then a superb Truffle Aioli Burger with Caesar Salad ($19). Finished with Crispy Brussels Sprouts ($9). Wing Man Gary (UASF Pilot, Retired) had the Grouper Sandwich ($16). I asked for my burger to be "So rare a good vet could save it." And that's exactly what I got. There was a large toothpick speared through the burger to prevent it from escaping. The flavors and textures were a real treat. Superb! Great meal for $90 including tip. Highly recommended.

The food was solid overall, and the duck linguine was absolutely delicious--it's a unique pasta dish that really stood out from the usual options. I was also pleasantly surprised by how strong the kids' menu was, which made dining with a little guy much easier. The only downsides were that the drinks felt a bit pricey for what they were, and while the filet wasn't bad, it was the most disappointing dish of the meal and didn't quite live up to expectations.

On the 4th I finally got an "oh, what did you want?" Had the turkey fig and their Italian. The sandwiches are not hearty for $14. The days of a $12 hero sandwich are over. Taste wise, nothing really hit home. Very bland. The best part of the turkey was the overbearing fig jam. The Italian is not recommended. Not much Brooklyn about it.

The food? Forget about it. Every bite tastes like family Sunday -- sandwiches stacked sky-high, prosciutto that melts like butter, and mozzarella so fresh it might've been made five minutes before I walked in. This isn't "inspired by Brooklyn" -- this is Brooklyn. And the service? That's where they really shine. The staff here treat you like you've been coming in for years -- warm smiles, real conversation, and that old-school hospitality that's hard to find these days. You can feel the pride in everything they do, from the way they wrap your order to the way they say "Have a good one, hon." The vibe is easy, authentic, and full of heart -- the kind of place that makes you linger a little longer, just because it feels like home.

The green chickpea samosas were okay, not great in our opinion. Overall, I enjoyed my time here and would come back if I was in the area again.
