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

The steak was rotten and it was too spicy gave me heart burn and divorced remarried his country.Good job....$$$

Gigantic rice bowl!

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

1/2 lb gizzards. Yummy and hot, not overcooked

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!

Philly

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.
Tammy S.

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??

Haven't wrote a review in a hot minute but this place was so good it inspired me to write again…read more The owners are so kind they treat you like family here. If they are able to they accommodate to large groups. There are so many different things on the menu including the classic chicken and waffles that we indulged in, churros, Mac and cheese, wings, burgers, shawarma, whatever you could crave with a variety of sauces and seasonings. Definitely come check them out if you're in the Tampa Bay Area. They have parking available in the front and the back.

We tried this place about a year ago, and we had a completely different experience than before. I can honestly say, I won't be back. Not ever. Not even a chance. This place is filthy. The floors, the tables, the bathrooms (the worst I have ever seen), and even the napkin holders. I had immediate regrets upon stepping in based on the lack of cleanliness. The amount of flies swarming was alarming. The service was a zero. The girl working watched us order at the kiosk, the kiosk wouldn't let us pay, we tell her, and she says "oh it doesn't work." So we ordered with her even though she sat around watching us waste our time. I ordered a wing meal, told her I wanted the wings injected, and she said "we don't inject them. I will give you sauce on the side." The menu clearly says they inject wings, social media videos always show it, and also, my last visit there was also injected wings but she would give me no explanation other than "I will give you the sauce on the side." It was bizarre and I couldn't even get a "we don't do that anymore" from her. We ordered a chicken sando. The quality was horrible. Chicken tasted overly processed with bad texture. We also ordered a wing combo. The wings were flavorless. Absolutely flavorless. I ordered medium and there was zero spice. Not even a tad. Apparently they don't inject their wings anymore so there was no flavor in the wings. The quality was pretty bad. Also, the "sauce on the side" that the girl working promised me was not the sauce I ordered, it was the sauce she chose. The whole ordering experience was odd. Definitely seemed like someone who did not care about providing good service, good food, or a sanitary environment. We waited about 25 minutes for our food. About 3 people came in to get pickup orders while we waited and no one else. So we sat and waited while the flys swarmed our heads. The cashier never once tried to come out and clean the filthy tables. She even paused doing nothing for a restroom break, used the filthy restroom, came out with WET hands, and grabbed a napkin from the dusty napkin holder on the filthy table to dry her hands. Then still never wiped down the table caked with food debris. Absolute terrible level of cleanliness, care, and service. It ruined my appetite. After waiting that long, the Mac n cheese was ice cold. 25 minutes for Mac n cheese with a chill to it and no heat. I'm convinced they pulled it out of the refrigerator and forgot to heat it up. This place just had too many misses: a lack of quality, a lack of good service, and a lack of any sanitation standards. Never again. We didn't finish our food. We threw it away outside.

I have heard so many good things about this place so I had to check it out myself…read more App: Chicken buffalo dip: 2/5, wasn't a big fan of this as it had a very sweet flavor profile Entree: Half original medium, half lemon pepper traditional wings. Both were a 5/5 imo. The lemon pepper as a unique flavor of a little sweetness plus that lemon kick. Really good! The medium is described as "is hot" and I'd say that it was the perfect amount of spice. Little sister got the mild medium boneless which were also a great flavor if you don't want a little kick of spicyness to them. We sat outside for dinner and it was super nice as they have fans directly above the outdoor tables. They also had trivia night happening. The waitress was very kind but wasn't around a whole lot however she was very kind. The parking lot gets filled up very quickly and they do have multiple parking spot locations. The signs are very helpful!

The wings are SO good, especially with the $1 up charge option of having them grilled for a few minutes, giving that delicious chargrilled flavor. $1 up charge for all flaps or drums. They do have lunch specials, which your wings come with a side and slight up charge to add a drink too. The spicy garlic parm and ranch side was all that was needed! Yum!!! Service was fast as well.

I had some delicious sweet tea and my wife had soda water with limes. The had chicken bowls for the pups that came with a lot of chicken. The service was beyond amazing, our server was always there when we needed her and she check on us a lot but not overkill.

I've been to Domoishi probably around ten plus times, and it's been consistently great every time…read more The food always hits. The BBQ chicken is super flavorful, the katsu is crispy and cooked right, and the poke is fresh and easy to customize. The spam musubi is a must too, simple but really well done.

Everyone there is genuinely kind and welcoming. You can tell they actually care about their customers, and it makes a big difference.

Pro tip: if you want to try a little bit of everything, get the 3 musubi combo. You get katsu, regular, and Hawaiian BBQ chicken which is a perfect variety without committing to full plates. The macaroni salad was good, but I wish it had a bit more texture (maybe some celery for crunch?). It was also a little heavy on the mayo for my taste. Portions are HUGE. One entrée could easily feed two people. Each plate comes with two big scoops of rice, so come hungry or be ready for leftovers. Prices are very reasonable, especially for how much food you get. The staff were super friendly, and the decor is cute. Just a heads up, seating is limited inside (a couple tables for 4 and a couple for 2). There's outdoor seating too, but it's not always shaded depending on the time of day. The chicken katsu was my favorite. It was super juicy with a crispy breading, and the soy flavors really came through. Overall, I'd definitely come back!
