    Shrimp and chicken and curly fries
    Kyle C.

    Okay if you live in Tampa there is a fresher and tastier alternative to your usual trash fast food. Enter Salem's, the food is always super fresh and made to order. The wait from the time you place your order to the time your food comes out is usually about 15 minutes because everything is made to order. So "made to order" is not a knife, issa double edged sword. The gyros here are my absolute favorite gyros. They come with fresh thick slices of tomatoes, perfectly diced onions, and a massive pile of gyro meat. Some one call the cops because Salem may have stolen Arby's curly fry recipe. The curly fries here are a must. It pains me to have to part with an additional $4 to upgrade my regular ole boring fries to tasty and exciting curly fries, but it's worth it. If you come here late night don't be shocked to see a line out the door, it's the only late night spot in town. This place slaps hard and everyone with a brain knows it.

    I have been coming to Salem's aka Gyros for some years now. I'm only writing a review at this moment because that's my business and I was here a few days ago. If you have eaten here on any occasion you already know how the food is - DELICIOUS! The food is always fresh, the price is decent, and the staff are nice. Anytime I'm in the area, stopping here to grab some seafood IS A MUST! Do yourself a favor and experience the goodness that is Salem's.

    Nestled under some tall trees, sits this cute, cozy, quirky, quaint, upbeat little coffee and tea…read morehouse. You'd never guess busy Fowler Avenue and all those shiny new businesses are just steps away. This is free-spirited, relaxing and zen. You can study here, chill-out and reset. It's colorful and very sunny, but it would also be the snuggliest place to sit while it's raining and just sip away and read. There are so many drink and food options here. I had the pistachio matcha with strawberry cold foam and a spinach/feta pastry. Both were good choices. You can order at the register or from a QR code and they'll call you to come get it. It's so casual and laid back. This adorable hangout would melt away any work frazzles I could possible walk in with. I love the low ceilings and the vintage hardwood floors and the slouchy couch and the eastern light streaming in the front window of this older, repurposed home. There's original artwork everywhere, including the ceiling (some of it's for sale). There's also a rack of clothing items, jewelry, scrunchies and other items for sale. I love the eclectic vibe-and the guitar propped up by the front window. Phoebe could definitely sing "Smelly Cat" here. Heck, they're so welcoming here, Ross could probably set up his keyboard and share "the sound." They DO have live music here-and a side patio. There's some parking up front and extra parking in back. And the service is friendly. I'm so glad I found this spot. I'll be back to try the apple fritter croissant and soak up more relaxation. Happy days from Felicitous!

    My friends wanted salad, so we stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon around 1:00 pm. The place was…read moremobbed, and only had one person taking orders at the register, so the line was from the counter to the door. Finally a manager-looking person opened a second register, and it went quicker from there. We snagged a booth, put our order number on the table, and headed to the salad bar. The salad bar had a nice variety of items, and was well stocked. Because I ordered the "Manager's Special", I got a side salad plate to go with my half a Reuben sandwich, but that was plenty of salad. The half of a sandwich arrived quickly, and was really good. Things I did not love about Jason's: too long to order, the place was incredibly LOUD, with screaming children and crying babies as far as the ear could hear, the potato chips that came with my sandwich were all broken into tiny pieces, the ice cream in the machine was a melty blob, and the muffins that looked like chocolate were actually gingerbread, and terrible, so don't be fooled. If I go back, it won't be on a weekend.

    This is a treat that rates between 4 and 5 stars, but the complementary ice cream puts it at the…read moreupper level. The restaurant has one of the few salad bars still operating. And they do a great job on the options they stock keeping them filled and clean. Their sandwiches are really good. So many options to choose from. Look at how much meat they double load onto their sandwiches in my photo. Breads are always fresh. My last visit took a little longer than expected but they are usually pretty quick. You walk in and order at the counter. Then go make your drinks and grab your salad bar if you ordered one. Then sit down at your choice of tables with the number plate they give you. They bring your food out and clean it up for you too. Remember to leave a $1 or $2 for that extra service! And my favorite part of all. The free waffle cone with your choice of vanilla or chocolate ice cream! My last visit the machine was struggling with making enough product but still was able to get a couple free cones before leaving happy. They have other options besides their famous deli sandwiches too. Whenever I go to Busch Gardens this is my choice for a meal before or after.

    This was my first time trying German food, and Mr. Dunderbak's was a great introduction…read more I ordered the Jägerschnitzel with veal, which is a herb-breaded Wiener schnitzel topped with a rich hunter gravy. The veal was incredibly tender, and the gravy was packed with flavor. It was a satisfying entrée that came with two sides. For my sides, I chose the pierogies and spätzle. The pierogies were honestly my favorite part of the meal. They were fluffy, cheesy, and generously filled. So delicious. I could have eaten a whole plate of just those. The spätzle was soft and well prepared, but compared to everything else, I found it a little boring. The restaurant itself is very cute and has a lot of character. I loved browsing the selection of German snacks, candy, and other imported items available for purchase. It added to the overall experience and made the place feel unique. While I'm not that familiar with German food, I thought this was a pretty good restaurant. Overall, I found German cuisine a little more muted than what I'm personally used to, but I still really enjoyed the meal and the experience. I'd be interested in trying more of the menu.

    The atmosphere is welcoming and the decor is classic German kitsch. However, my visit to the deli…read morewas disappointing. I had such high hopes for this place. :( The selection is very limited and perhaps I missed something (entirely possible), but I did not see a price list for the deli case. We did find a unique assortment of other German products- some we haven't seen in many years. The restaurant portion was quite busy and the customers looked happy. We were flooded with nostalgia and left in hopes of dining in on a less-busy day. I ordered two meats, including the German bologna. During the drive home, my family and I noticed a terrible odor-- the kind where we started pointing fingers at one another. We never suspected that the package from the deli was the source. When we opened it at home, a nauseatingly funky, ammonia-type smell came from the German bologna. While the liverwurst smelled okay, I could not trust it after the bologna and decided against keeping it. Wasted time and money. Dang! The staff is super nice and that was truly a plus. However, I doubt we will be back. My family is very bummed over this.

I went there today to pick up an order I placed through Uber Eats. Usually, when you pick up an Uber Eats order yourself, they don't require a verification code. However, when I went to the front and gave my name to the cashier, she asked if I had proof of the order. I told her no, as I had ordered on my computer and didn't have a code. She insisted she needed verification. My phone wasn't working at the moment, which I don't blame her for, but the way she handled the situation was incredibly frustrating. I waited 20 minutes before I actually got my food. The cashier stood there talking on her phone, claiming she needed to ask her manager, but she never actually did. I didn't hear her explain the situation or ask anyone for help. Instead, she just stayed on her phone and eventually slid the food over to me. There was no apology for the wait, no "here you go," and no "have a nice day." She just slid it over with a smile while still chatting on her phone. It felt like she was purposely inconveniencing me. As soon as I mentioned that I had my ID to prove who I was, it was suddenly no issue, and she handed it over without ever checking with a manager. Very disappointing experience. While the food itself still tastes good, it is simply no longer worth the money or the poor treatment. I never expected over the top, bubbly customer service, the staff that used to work here would just get the job done without the fake enthusiasm, and that was perfectly fine. But there is a massive difference between a worker just trying to get through their shift and one who actively goes out of their way to keep you waiting while talking on the phone. Between the disrespectful service and the shrinking portions, this place just isn't what it used to be.
