    SHRIMP BIG BOWL
    Rhena S.

    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.

    Good job

    OMG....all this food for $11.99 ....Gigantic black beans & yellow rice bowl with fried shrimp.

    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?

    Shrimp Bowl
    Arianna A.

    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!

    Not pretty or fancy... but dang it's good. The Philly can feed two. The lamb Gyro is legit. Check it out

    Pressed and formed gyro meat; not shaved.

    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.

    Seriously??

From the moment I saw the seafood case, everything looked ridiculously fresh, and that freshness carried straight onto the plate. The Tides is both a seafood market and restaurant, so you're surrounded by beautiful seafood and ingredients that actually look like they belong there. Then I noticed the MICHELIN plaque outside the building and thought, wait a minute... THIS place has Michelin recognition? Apparently, yes! The Tides has earned a place in the MICHELIN Guide, which suddenly made a whole lot of sense after tasting the food. That salmon was seriously some of the best I've ever had. Fresh, beautifully prepared and so clean tasting that it didn't need a bunch of heavy sauces or nonsense piled on top. It felt like one of those rare meals that is indulgent because it's delicious, but you also walk away thinking, I actually ate something good for me. The Tides was a genuine surprise, and now I'm wondering how many other little gems I've been driving right past without knowing they were there.

We made the mistake of trying to go on a Saturday evening. Shoot for off hours instead, as the wait was pretty long. We ordered a lot of what the Michelin blurb recommended: the dip trio (out of white fish), the crawfish arancini, the fried grouper po boy, and snapper. In the dip trio, we absolutely loved the fried green tomatoes and the pimento cheese (I don't like tajjn but it worked extremely well here). Neither of us was in love with the smoked fish, but if you're a big smoked fish person you might like it. We also loved the arancini and the romesco sauce they came with. The entrees we were honestly disappointed in. The grouper in the po boy tasted dry, and the snapper was nothing to write home about. It must be difficult for a restaurant to live up to the greatly heightened expectations of a Michelin designation. The location and staff were great. We didn't leave delighted but I would definitely come back to try more items.
