Here's the revised version without the dash: Had a great brunch experience here! We sat outside, which is dog friendly a huge plus and the service was both fast and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious and beautifully presented. If you're into both savory and sweet, you have to try the Nutella French toast. It was amazing. I also loved the pork belly benedict. We ended up ordering a side of house potatoes, which were really good, though it was a bit odd that they don't come included with the dish. Overall, we really enjoyed our experience and would definitely come back! What I ordered: - Brûlée Nutella French Toast: brioche, Nutella, whipped yogurt, honey, flower petals, toasted crushed hazelnuts, orange creme anglaise - Pork Belly Benedict: cathead biscuit, fried pork belly, 63° egg, maple sherry syrup, pimento cheese, hot sauce hollandaise - Breakfast Potatoes - Beef Bacon read more

I went this past Mother's Day with my family for brunch had reservations Waited for our table service was terrible. We never got our meal we had two small children guest from out of town Never going back indoors de is dark no good Ty read more

Came in for Mother's Day and it was a bit disappointing. It was extremely warm inside, just felt like stagnant air, plus the door opening and closing pulling all the outside humid air in didn't help. Our server was nice, but barely attended to us. We saw him maybe 3 times during our entire meal. Which normally would be fine, but we actually needed things so checking in would have been helpful. The food was just so so. It looked better than it tasted. The pastry starters were alright, very rich. And the Nutella French toast was so sweet, I only had about 4 bites. But it all looked nice. Also note they do not have flavors for coffees. read more

Whether you choose to park on the street, use valet, or a nearby lot, expect to pay when visiting Steelbach. The ambiance leans masculine, with deep, comfortable chairs that create a relaxed dining atmosphere. I stopped by for dinner and ordered Maud's fried chicken. It typically comes with hot honey and red eye gravy, though I opted out of both. I was surprised (in a good way) to receive a full half chicken--definitely a generous portion. The chicken was cooked through perfectly, lightly breaded, and not overly salty. That said, it did feel like it was missing a bit of flavor, which may have been due to skipping the hot honey. read more

Have been here for supper a few times but this past weekend we tried it for brunch on Sunday and were delighted. Server was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. Food was stellar. I love that it is attached to Armature Works so you get that industrial vibe right when you walk in. Putting it in the regular rotation for Sunday brunch! read more

Finally tried Steelbach for Father's Day brunch and I am already looking forward to my next visit. I drank a deliciously tangy Lime in the Coconut. The hangover burger was yummy and filling! I had to take the breakfast potatoes home. The kids bento boxes are so cute! They get an entree, side, fruit or veggie, and a dessert. Our party also tried the smoked brisket eggs Benedict and French toast. Everything was delicious. We were too full for dessert, but hopefully next time! read more

What an amazing last minute move to have brunch here on Sunday! The four of us walked in and the staff to find us a table outside was awesome. They kept us updated and sat us after a brief wait. Our server was amazing and to start with a cocktail I did their French75 along with their Hangover Burger. The reason the Food fell one star short of 5 was because I felt the French75 was served warm. I'm not sure if the Champagne was warm or the glass wasn't chilled but that was the only mark. That burger was beyond amazing as well as the well cooked and seasoned fries!! We loved it and would come back again but perhaps for dinner service! read more

Visiting Tampa on business and meeting a "foodie" friend for lunch. Initially found Steelbach in the Michelin Guide and short-listed, my friend had never been so that decided it. Booked a lunch reservation for noon on Open Table about a week prior, she arrived on-time and chose a shady spot on the patio, I was just a couple minutes behind. Service was excellent, we initially were catching up and waitress gave us space to decide what we wanted and answered all our questions. She drank a local beer and I had a French 75 which really hit the spot. We both had salads with steak on them and shared the "side of fruit" which was one of the nicest fruit plates I've ever had. Steak on both salads was cooked perfectly. This is a great restaurant in a great scenic spot, highly recommend. read more

First time at Steelbach. Wait staff was just ok. After our food arrived he seemed to be done I think it's usually nice to check in just after you get the food to ensure it was what was expected or if anything else is needed. I had the crab and Brie omelet and I'm not sure I even tasted any crab. Certainly not what I expected. The French toast was very sweet. Again, a normal wait staff would ask if it was ok since only a couple of bites were missing at the end. Finally, the interior was stuffy or humid. When we walked into the mall area it was noticeably cooler. Not sure if Steelbach needed fans or if they should have directed patrons to enter via the mall side instead of the street. I guess we were expecting a nice Mother's Day meal and it ended up being just ok. read more

My friends recommended I try this spot so I went on a Saturday night for dinner and was left feeling disappointed. We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower which was tasty but it was really just flash fried cauliflower with buffalo sauce - nothing unique about it. The French onion soup was rich and cheesy. I ordered a filet mignon medium and when the steak arrived - it was well done. I called the manager over who apologized and made me a new steak. It took a long time to arrive and the entire party was done with their food by the time my new steak arrived. The potato side was plain and boring - not much flavor. The Mac and cheese was somewhat good. For the price we paid - I expected to be blown away but was left unsatisfied. Overall I would not return and definitely do not recommend this place. read more

Most incredible dining experience I e had in a long time. The wait staff were so incredible kind and welcoming, has the best atmosphere. Tried the seafood tower and felt like it was a great value for everything you get. The salad portion was also huge and I feel shareable for 2-3 people. Will absolutely be coming back read more

Ambiance: The restaurant itself was very nicely decorated and felt cozy. Love that you can see the cooks firing up the cookers and preparing the food. The biggest downside was the noise level. This place was very loud on a Friday evening. They sure can fit a lot of people in here so with so many people talking, you can barely hear your friends. 4/5 Food: we were most excited about the food. The paid attention to detail in the presentation but I'd have to say that there were no standout dishes that we tried. They each seemed to be missing flavor or very much seasoning for that matter. We're told that the steak is what people come for and the table next to us did order it and it did look really good. 3/5 Drinks: very well done. No complaints 5/5 Service: Our server was informative, attentive and polite. She knew the menu well and was able to expand on her favorites and made great recommendations. 5/5 Overall: I would be interested in revisiting for their steak and the drinks again. The Armature Works area is certainly a great location with lots of options. Parking can be a bit challenging but they did have valet options, street parking and a parking lot area. read more

Had to check back two years after my five-star first impression to drop another five on it. Steelbach has been one of my favorite brunch and dinner destinations ever since. Consistent in serving up desirable gluten-free dishes, great cocktails, local grass-fed beef, the BEST buffalo cauliflower, and flavorful mimosa flights. The French onion soup with braised short rib is also worth mentioning. Great staff. I highly recommend the valet on weekends since Armature Works is so lively. read more

Food service and atmosphere all very good. What I don't like and why there are 3 stars is there is a mysterious $7.59 fees charge which was totally unknown. We thought we found a really great place to go eat at armature works, but this leaves a very bad taste. Future $300 dollar dinners lost because of $7.59. Good job !! Such a shame you got greedy. read more

I came here during Saturday brunch and everything was delicious! I had no complaints. I had the monkey bread, rolling shrimp and skirt steak. The monkey bread was warm and delicious and not overly sweet. The rolling shrimp was good! I was expecting something different but these were really good spring rolls!! One of the best I've had. The skirt steak was REALLY good. They cooked it perfectly and the salad it came with complimented it well. Not pictured is the lychee Martine. Which was Also good drink too. More of the sweeter side though. The server was nice , on point and knowledgeable too! The restaurant was a modern brick wall restaurant with a good location. It is pay to park also and a little hard to find parking unless you do valet . Overall, i will definitely be back for the rolls, skirt steak and drink! read more

If you are looking for one of the best meals & experiences of your life, you need to try out Steelbach! This is by far my new top restaurant in Tampa! Everything about Steelbach is perfection; the atmosphere & aesthetic is fantastic, giving a classy industrial vibe. The service is spectacular, the entire team will go out of their way to give you the best experience possible! Special shout out to our incredible server @travis! Everything about the meal was delicious! You NEED to start with the short rib mezze; it's perfect for sharing with the whole table & it is some of the best short rib I've ever had! The steaks are seasoned amazingly and cooked precisely to order; their grass feed beef is amazing quality! The lychee martini is also a must; very well balanced and incredibly refreshing! Again, everything was seriously unreal, I could go on and on - this is an absolute must visit!! read more

Great food. Great service. But management needs to understand to not add fees without telling people. A 3% card fee is not listed anywhere and you all are a cash free establishment so there is no way to pay without an extra 3% fee that's listed as "fees". And it still gets charged when using a gift card. Sours an overall great experience. Get better management or you'll start losing customers due to terrible processes and lack of transparency. Would've been a 5 otherwise. read more

Tidbit!!! Walk into the right restaurant please... We drifted briefly into one of Steelbach's neighbors on what is clearly becoming one of Tampa's more promising brunch corridors -- and we knew that Steelbach was different just from the vibe. It was buzzing and the kitchen was pumping out food (not the ho hum of its neighbor restaurant). Food-wise, we thought that the place delivered on taste. We loved the short stack, the sugar bomb of the french toast, the biscuits with its apple butter and its honey butter, and of course the tomahawk platter. This dish was theatrical; the presentation is dramatic, the cooking is confident, and the cut arrives in a way that makes the table feel briefly like a special occasion. The downside? The menu suggests that it feeds four; and we felt like it served two. Despite that blemish, we really appreciated the staff. Our waitress was sweet and kind. I see in other reviews that there were automatic gratuities, but that didn't happen with us. She was willing to pull up every item in case we wanted to split the check, but we were good with one check. Lastly, I also want to flag Steelbach's OpenTable correspondence; someone actually responded to us when we were running into some personal issues Sunday morning. So yes, it is aggressive that there is a 48 hour cancellation fee... But dang, that might be the service. There's a real human being behind the app. read more

Hunter took care of us and was outstanding. He explained the dishes, sauces, specials with exquisite detail and served us the best cornbread I've ever had. I also enjoyed the chicken and dumplings. The portions here are more than enough for the heaviest of appetites. Great setting and atmosphere. Loved it! read more

We ordered Uber Eats. At $22.80 a burger we probably wouldn't have tried it but they were BOGO. The bun on my burger was partially burnt, but the individual cooking and or the individual expediting decided it would be good idea to serve it anyway. My thought is that at $22.80 (BOGO notwithstanding) I would expect BETTER. The burger itself: I have to admit that the quality of the beef is good. It is a bit gamey though and really moist / greasy...bun didn't hold up and could use some black pepper and a sprinkle of Maldon's sea salt. It was missing "something"....and I'm not sure the dijonnaise and onion jam were included as sadly, I didn't taste either one. There was a fair amount of Gruyère cheese. The house made pickles were Meh...it's a sweet acidic flavor that needs more balance...dill would be better against the heartiness of the beef. The French fries were flavorless. How is that possibl read more

Very excellent restaurant located in Armature Works. While this place is known for their steaks, don't discount their other entrees. I got their roasted duck breast and it was excellent! Nice crispy skin and tender meat that was perfectly cooked. The sweet potato mash and roasted mushrooms brought balance to the plate. Love the balsamic glaze as well, which provides just the right amount of acid to help cut the richness. Well executed restaurant with some excellent cocktails. Ambiance is modern and classy, the perfect place for a night out on the town :) read more

Steelbach is the most consistent sit-down restaurant within the immediate Armature Works complex. For priority, outdoor seating, be sure to make reservations several hours in advance. The indoor bar is first-come-first-serve but the high tables in the back are perfect for 2, especially if you can snag a spot near the indoor fireplace (open kitchen within view!). Cocktails are fair, not too generous with their pours, but bar and food service is speedy and welcoming. Food prices are moderately high for the appetizers and main plates but the considerable portions make up for it. They've added a couple more vegetarian options since I was last here, including their Pesto Fusili. Part of me wishes the buffalo cauliflower was lightly battered and/or flash fried so they're actually crispy but that's my only critique for this visit. read more

One thing I love about Steelbach is that we're never disappointed, whether its cocktails or the food. Although I didn't have a full meal this time, my friend and I really enjoyed our cocktails and appetizers. The bartender provided great service, the appetizers were flavorful, and the ambiance was excellent as always. read more

Let's start with the ambiance. The first word that comes to mind is "sexy." Although the restaurant is medium to large layout and, table placement makes it feel intimate. The star of the show was the food. My omelet with potatoes was phenomenal. Seasoned perfectly, oversized in portions, and worth every calorie. I only stopped eating because my metaphoric button popped. We had the Nutella French toast, which was beautiful in theory but not the best dish. With the glaze it was an 8. Without the glaze it was a 5, so there's a 50/50 chance you'll like it. I also got the yummy mimosa flight and was soaring over how meticulously balanced the flavors were. My companion was doing a happy dance with each bite, so I'm positive they enjoyed their food too. Overall, I will absolutely go back. I'm definitely a fan. read more

we celebrated a birthday here and had the best time! we were shown to what i'd consider the best seat in the house, a cute window seat booth where we could see the whole restaurant. the restaurant felt warm and inviting and all the staff were fabulous--grace took care of us and was super friendly and attentive. they even gave us a birthday card and sweet surprise at the end of the meal! the food was delicious. we each got the ny strip (a local cut) with truffle butter and then split brown butter mushrooms and twice-baked bone marrow. just absolutely mouthwatering. for dessert, we went with the strawberry pistachio pavlova which was a first for us! we also tried the old forester flight which was interesting but a bit more expensive than we expected, a local cider, and a lychee martini which was sweet and tasty. our total after tip was about $330, so definitely a splurge, but we felt like the experience and food were worth it for a special occasion. read more

Enjoyed Mother's Day brunch here. American fare in an industrial feeling location. Large bar area, dining for groups and couples, and patio seating. We enjoyed the mimosa flight(a but sweet), biscuits for the table, Cobb salad with salmon, fried chicken biscuit sandwich, steak sandwich And more. Fries were yummy. Nothing was bad and service was good. There is valet and a lot outside($10). Street parking if you can find it. Make a reservation. read more

So this is the thing with this place - First off ambiance is not that great due to it being so loud. I was screaming to have a conversation. HATED that. I got the chicken and dumplings and it literally had no flavor, it needed salt and pepper and some slap ya mama or something. My friends got the fried chicken, they said it also lacked flavor/seasoning. Luckily it came with some sauce that saved it. We also had the grouper and if was just OK. I will say the starters were amazing and prob the best thing. I think steelbach is good for their steaks, starters, and sides. All their mains seemed to be lacking. I recommend getting the shrimp rolls and cornbread as a starter. They were delicious. read more

5 star restaurant with 5 star service. I sat at bar and Gary was the bartender. And the best bartender may I say! He was welcoming and fun from the first moment we sat down. He was attentive and gave us a thorough rundown of menu. I tried the pesto pasta, Brussels sprouts & mushroom appetizer and they were all super flavorful and good sized portions. The vibe in the bar was great with cool light fixtures and interesting decor. I'll definitely be back and hope Gary is working when I do! read more

I recently celebrated my birthday, and my children took me to Steelbach--and I have to say, they absolutely delivered. I was in the mood for a really good steak, and they did not disappoint. I ordered the prime ribeye, cooked medium well, and it was outstanding--perfectly flavorful and didn't need a thing. I paired it with macaroni and cheese and Brussels sprouts, both of which were just as delicious. I also tried a lemon lychee martini, and if you enjoy sweeter cocktails, that's definitely one to order. The service was wonderful and very accommodating. I don't usually prefer outdoor seating, but we sat on the patio, and it turned out to be a great experience. Even with temperatures in the low 80s, the large fans kept everything cool and comfortable, making it a really enjoyable atmosphere. Overall, I was very pleased with this restaurant. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more from their menu--definitely a must-try if you're in the Tampa area. read more

Wow oh wow. This place was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was in the Tampa área and decide to stop here for brunch. Our server Hunter was very good and informative. After learning that they have a cattle ranch where they get their beef from and being grass fed with the last 2 month being fed grain for some fat, I had to try their steak. They were so amazing and the portions were very fair. The potato pave was amazing as well. We had a great experience and the ambiance overall was great. read more

My cousins and I decided to catch a bite and some celebratory cocktails after our 5k run. Service was great. Such a great vibe to relax and unwind after a run. I had the avocado toast. A great concept and presentation but would have liked the bread to have been toasted and to have more avocado. It was very herbed forward than avocado. I only saw a few slices. It's kind of messy to eat so I ate everything but the bread. Overall a great location, nice ambience and vibes for any occasion. I usually go for cocktails and their monkey bread whenever I'm in the area. read more

Fantastic food, service, and ambiance! Thoroughly enjoyed my date night on Valentines weekend here. It was pretty busy,but our waiter was fantastic and extremely attentive. The restaurant is beautiful on the inside, a mix of industrial and cozey vibes. Definitely a good mood for a date night without being too stuffy. There was an event happening at Armature Works so parking was a bit difficult... something to be mindful of! Food: As an appetizer we ordered the buffalo cauliflower with the buffalo sauce on the side. It was beautifully presented with shreds of celery and carrot all on a bed of blue cheese. We enjoyed it and it's a dish that would be good for the table! For entrees we chose off the wood-fired menu and got the Colorado Lamb Chops and NY strip. They were out of the bone-in NY strip which brings about 3oz more meat. These were both perfectly cooked and loved how they were served with two types of salt on the side. For the sides- the mac and cheese was perfection. From the gruyere cheese to the panko breadcrumbs it was so good! The brussel sprouts were good too but nothing to rave about. Drink: I enjoyed the prosecco and the boyf got some local craft beer. The cocktail menu is impressive. Be sure to read the different alcohol related quotes in each section. A fun touch! read more

I'll lead with the good, the food was great. The Steelbach NY Strip was cooked to my desire perfectly and had great marbleization. The cornbread was out of this world. Unfortunately that's where the good ended. A server walking by dropped everything in his hands the plate and silverware hit my wifes foot (she's tough and was unharmed) a man in a suit presumably management proceeded to pick up the items but zero inquiry as to if we were ok or not. I found that peculiar for a Michelin rated top end steakhouse. The server was a nightmare. She was obviously more concerned with the table next to us as was management than anything at our table. My wife and I had to ask for our initial drinks 3 separate times before she remembered to get them. I actually had to get the hostess to go get her to bring me a Coke, yes a Coca Cola which the machine was within plain sight she just didn't give a care to fill it or remember my 3 requests. Then when my wife asked her again she acted annoyed as if we were in the wrong somehow. They brought the dessert menu out and the 2 items I wanted the carrot cake and the strawberry cheesecake both still on their website, had been replaced with ice cream. LOL. None the less I'll never be back. For a $380 meal of 2 apps, 2 steaks, and 2 martinis +1 soda I could get that level of service at Longhorn Steakhouse for 70% off the price. Bascoms smokes this place in food quality and service! The ambiance was ok. Decent lighting but really loud, not a romantic restaurant by any means. read more

Had an INCREDIBLE meal and time at Steelbach and can't wait to go back next time I'm in Tampa! I came here because I was looking for good gluten free meal options while in Tampa for the weekend. The Find me Gluten Free app had some good reviews for this place, and what really caught my attention was that they had a GF french onion soup, which is my favorite. Unfortunately, I went on a Sunday during brunch time, and the brunch menu does not include the french onion soup. Fortunately, I sat at the bar and my bartender/server Asia was super helpful and willing to look into what I could have (the regular menu has more GF options, while the brunch one doesn't really have any callouts). I first ordered the avocado & fennel salad and added grilled shrimp to it, and enjoyed the juxtaposition of flavors. I was still hungry, so I ordered the pomegranate/goat cheese salad and that one was even more delicious. I accompanied my meal with their lychee martini and OH MY GOD - one of the best lychee martinis I've ever had. Not too sweet, really hits the spot. I think I ordered the second salad more so that I could have a second martini without getting too buzzed. And to close, I ordered the pavlova for dessert as I had seen it recommended by fellow GF reviewers. Although I had 3 plates + drinks by myself, they were super light and fresh and I did not feel too full by the end of it. I am planning to go back to Tampa soon just so I can go enjoy the french onion soup, and some more lychee martini. read more
