Since this restaurant is no longer a franchise and now has been purchased by Salems Cooperate the food is extremely salty. I have been twice in the last month and the wings were soo salty they were impossible to eat . Also, I ordered a 15 piece and I checked before leaving the store and they only put 12 wings in the box. They need to clean house with staff and put the old staff back in this store. I wish Salem himself would visit this store on the weekend and taste the wings and gizzards to see how salty the food is. Must do better, when a customer is spending $20 plus on a meal they can't eat. If I could give 0 stars I would. read more

The wings at Salem are very tasty and will leave you fulfilled. I got the 20 piece special with fries for $24.99. I got garlic Parmesan and hot as my sauces. These sauces were full of flavor and very tasty! The fries were fresh and hot, I really enjoyed the freshness of the fries. The service was good, I used the drive thru and was greeted by a happy face. This was my first time eating Salem's wings and they did not disappoint. read more

Salems can be a hit or miss depending on what you get but when things that doesn't miss are those CHEESE FRIES I get them every time with my fried chicken gyro meal or chicken tenders. The wait is a little long at times but that's because it's cooked upon ordering. I usually order ahead online. Salems is a great late night, after the party spot so a lot of says its better at night Lol. It's definitely a Tampa classic! read more

While in Tampa we stopped here for a quick bite to eat. I ordered the shrimp bowl which consisted of grilled shrimp, yellow rice, black beans, onions, bell peppers and jalapeños. The service was good, the staff was nice. The shrimp bowl was served hot and was actually very flavorful. I would for sure order this again. read more

Salem's Fresh Eats - SHRIMP BIG BOWL - Sandwiches Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Best gyro I have ever had in my life! Ordered more than once through door dash. Excited to try their other items.

For a fast food experience, I have to applaud Salem's Fresh Eats. I have been frequenting this chain for well over a decade and have always been a fan. The place is clearly a fast food establishment and has the overall ambiance of a fast food restaurant. Service is about the same. For fast food, the gyros are pretty good. Overall, Salem's Fresh Eats is a good option to head towards if you are looking for a fast food meal. Again, I would recommend the gyro. read more

Salem's Fresh Eats - Gigantic rice bowl! - Sandwiches Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This is one of my favorite locations for this brand due to their consistent results. When you go to other locations, you may or may not get food prepared the same way as the previous visit. I like how you can depend on the food, always being fresh and packaged perfectly. They provide you with ample sauces and utensils during every visit. You never have to worry about leaving with you what you need . read more

Can we ever get polite service in da hood? Cashier gave me a mean look without responding when I said hi and thank you. Attitudes! Why go into customer service if you hate people? read more

Salem's Fresh Eats - 1/2 lb gizzards. Yummy and hot, not overcooked - Sandwiches Near Me - Tampa, Florida

I come to Salem's Fresh Eats at this location at least once a week. I order the same thing every time which is the the Big Bowl with Grilled Shrimp. The bowl is made with nicely seasoned rice, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, grilled green peppers, and grilled jalapeno peppers. They give you a nice amount of grilled shrimp on it too. It's delicious! I've always received good customer service from this location. I've always gone through the drive-thru and the staff has usually been courteous. There is usually a 10-15 minute wait once you order your food but it's worth it because the food is made fresh and it is delicious. Soooo, tonight, January 13th 2021 at 8:19 p.m., I order my usual. The nice young lady with pretty green dreads takes my money and gives me my receipt. As I'm waiting, I notice this young guy with a army fatigue hat, green jacket and glasses walking up to the window. I see him make a drink from the fountain for a customer that I assume is waiting inside the restaurant. The entire time his mask is below his chin. I see him walking towards where the kitchen is. He doesn't go into the kitchen but he talks to someone through the window where the the food comes out. He keeps walking between the kitchen window, the counter, and the drive thru window. He is just all up and around the food and drinks with NO MASK! The other young person with the colored dreads keeps her mask on the whole time. When I asked him if he could put his mask over his mouth and nose because he is around the food being prepared, he responded sarcastically "Do I really need to put it on. I'm working up front? I'm not handling the food." Where is the manager and why would they allow this. I threw my food out. I work in the health care industry and this s*** is real. This location would have earned 4.5 out of 5 stars; however, today really makes me not want to come back at least until after this pandemic is over! read more

Salem's Fresh Eats - Shrimp Bowl - Sandwiches Near Me - Tampa, Florida

The service was quick and good. They stay open late. The food did not have much flavor. I ordered the gyro, shrimp, and a side of rice. Other then the rice, nothing really had any flavor. The quantity was good for the price and it is sufficient for late night food, but so would not have to eat here again. read more

I'm guessing they changed owners or something and it's just different the vibe. There are different the people now and The new crew does not seem to be very kind or friendly for the most part. Coke machine with all the different drinks is gone...$&@?! The prices have gone up and amount of food in my yo go box appeared to be alot less. I didn't particularly care for the attitude of the person that was taking my order.... I Just cannot stand it when you walk into an establishment with a good attitude and someone gives you a bad one, but it is what it is. I just now know where I WON'T be going to spending my money. read more

Salem's Fresh Eats - Philly - Sandwiches Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Salem's is a well known Tampa spot especially for late night meals. I've never been so gave them a try at the Ybor location. First off, girl that took my order was sweet and accurate. The wait was 20 min with 3 cars in front of me and I was prepared for that amount of time. I paid $30 for 2 meals and only 1 came with a drink. I got a gyro sandwich with Cheese fries and a large fruit punch. The fries were piping hot with a nacho cheese sauce over them. I think fries would be a safe option for anyone. The cheese sauce is good if you like that artificial nacho orange sauce and a lot of people do. (Culver's has the best cheese sauce imo). Salems cheese fries on their own are over $8 dollars with tax - seems overpriced to me and it was $3 extra to upgrade my side of fries to cheese fries and a $1 to upgrade to a large drink. The gyro meat was pressed and formed like lunch meat. I was disappointed bc I thought it would be shaved off of a big hunk of meat like the Greek places I go to but it's not. It was like the cafeteria meat I used to get in elementary school in Maryland. The big bowl with grilled tilapia was also a no. The tilapia was under seasoned and rubbery. The size of the big bowl is very generous but since it's mostly just rice and beans: the vegetarian bowl is overpriced at $11. (It's the same price as the other bowls with chicken, shrimp or fish). The bowls comes with yellow rice, black beans, sweet and hot peppers and cooked onions. My preference would be to have chopped peppers instead of long stringy ones but not a big deal. The rice and beans were good. I am going to try another location and get the fried fish, wings or cheesesteak as these items have been recommended to me by others. read more

Salem's Fresh Eats - Pressed and formed gyro meat; not shaved. - Sandwiches Near Me - Tampa, Florida

They only have one size, 3 flavors (in which you can't mix them or anything like that), and they take forever To make...all that considered-they are usually pretty good. But today was the crappiest experience! I ordered one Strawberry and one chocolate and paid... They are $5 a piece and they are the equivalent of a McDonald's Small Cup to begin with but I've excepted that. After 30 minutes waiting for them to be prepared, the cashier hands me to milkshakes that are only 3/4 of the way filled with the whip cream already melted damn near to pure liquid. I said something and asked why they were not filled all the way and why the whip cream looked like that.... The response I got was- she just laughed in my face. I'm not kidding, literally laughed in my face. I was like seriously? Dude they are already $5 for 12 oz, but basically paying $5 for 9 measly oz?? I will never buy anything from them again! read more

This was my first time ever trying salems and they did not disappoint! The food was fresh and sooo yummy! Definitely hit the soul! The service was pretty quick and employees were kind! Will be back! :) read more

The food is fresh and hot every time. I thought it was a fluke the first time I went and saw I had to go a second time, and it was a duplicate of the first! Then I randomly went again and still yielded the same results! Now the drive thru is long and can be a long wait, BUT I will wait for hot fresh food anytime. I've never gone inside. read more

Great late night bite to eat. Never had a problem with any of the staff dining in or through the window and at all times of night until they close the food is fresh. read more

The gizzards were so well seasoned! Hit the spot after a late night of hanging out! I ordered via Uber eats to my hotel so I can't vouch for the ambiance but my order was prepared well and fast service. read more

I'll slap tf out of the manager and the dumb ass lil girl who had an attitude. I was even patient enough to wait on them to take my order but then got rushed and a stank face when getting my order and money. I'll be damned I give up my $30 for some fast food and bad service . Immediately no. read more

No joke, went there last night at 11pm and after eating a gyro and fries, woke up the next morning vomiting like crazy and some really bad food poisoning. Had to call out from work today. Absolutely do not advise anyone to come to this place if you have any regard to caring for your physical health. read more

I'm here to update my review I put a year ago, yes food poisoning is legit from this place but lemme just say that shit was bussin definitely would buy it again. I'll just eat it on the toilet! read more

This place after canceling my first order, got my late night Uber order super wrong. Really disappointed. And those who follow me know I seldom give 1 star reviews. And I seldom make reviews this brief. I am just trying to give Salem's the same amount of consideration they gave my order. read more

Salem's Fresh Eats - Milk Shakes - Sandwiches Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Salem's on Nebraska is my favorite spot for lunch. I have been going to this restaurant for years. The food is always hot, fresh, and seasoned just right. Their employees are the friendliest in any fast food restaurant I've ever patronized in Tampa (including other Salem's restaurants), and that includes employees at the counter and the managers who come from the back just to say hello to their customers. I love this place! read more

Visit stores in Ybor and on 50th at least once a week, and almost always there is a problem with the order. Most commonly, they forget to add dressing for salads, fried foods etc. Because of this I check the bag but this week I visited the store in Ybor for a salad. I was the second car in line and it took 20 minute to get my order. In the kitchen there were four employes just standing around so when I received my salad, shame on me for assuming it would be complete. When I arrived home, alas, no dressing. Called the store and spoke to the manager 'Omar' who was useless. He told me it was shift change. Umm, okay and...? I asked him if he would at least credit me for half the price of a useless salad that I paid about $12 for. He wasn't willing to help at all, except to offer me a free soda if I drove nearly 30 minutes back to the store. Yipee! I persisted and was told to call the next day and speak to the day manager. He was more apologetic, took my name and phone number and said they would get in touch with me. Nope, NADA, brushed me off. Not going to lose sleep, not going to call back but of course I will just stop giving them $25 a week. I probably should have stopped long ago because the wait is too long, the staff is usually pissy and the stores are in the hood. Often get people approaching the car asking for food or money. read more

I loved Salem's!! The staff was so friendly and the food was delicious. They have a scoop of ice cream for 1.99, and it's way bigger than I was expecting. Overall, 10/10, it was awesome. read more

One of my favorite go to spots that I don't get to visit a lot. This was my first time at this location and it was pretty consistent with the others. The food is made fresh to order so there's always going to be a little wait time. Thankfully I ordered ahead online to save some time. I ordered a wing combo with fries and fried shrimp. It was very delicious as expected. read more

I have been coming to this Salem's for years. The food was always delicious, There was always great service and the staff was always accommodating and very polite. Today is the last day I will ever go to this Salem's. The other Salems have better quality of food and know how to treat the customers. I don't know if this restaurant employees throw their food together because they feel that we are not deserving of good food and good treatment or what the problem is.Today I ordered a cheeseburger platter and the Buffalo wings platter. My hamburger was hard, bread was hard, French fries were decent, chicken wings were not good. I must say though, the young man at the window was very polite and the Spanish lady last week too. They are new. I hope they stay that way. Maybe their politeness will rub off on the rest of them. The manager is not accommodating and polite. Perhaps that is the problem. I will make the extra drive to go to the other Salem's where we will be treated with kindness and served good, hot food. read more

I'd never been to a Salem's, so I ordered chicken wings and Cajun fries. It was ok! I'd set the bar pretty low going in, and I think it about met what I thought. The food was very hot (good!) and the cashier was properly wearing a mask. Glad I went, glad it's over read more
