    Friendly service and very accommodating. The ingredients are fresh and portions are generous. The dishes are tasty.

    Mexican Week menu: taco special has a misfortunate name...even to the damn cook!
    William L.

    First time in for dinner specials. We walked in at 5pm and it was totally empty; not another customer to be found! Nice young man (Drew) was running the counter with one guy at the grill and another fellow in the back. That's it. We just got water to drink and both settled in the taco trio this "Mexican week." Meal comes with choice of soup or salad; Queen Bee chose latter and I chose the soup du jour, which was a roasted red pepper soup. Salad was basically a salad, albeit one with good fresh produce and a nice presentation. Soup, on the other hand, was fantastic! It's basically tomato soup with a lot of roasted red peppers and onions in it. Very flavorful and hot...I was told it was just made; it certainly tasted like it, but in a very good way! I wish I could say the same for our entrees. First, the menu calls this thing "taco carnitas." Explanation says it's three tacos, with one being chicken, another being steak, and the third, oddly enough, "carnitas" or pork for all the gringos in the room. I list them by increasing level of success...Sure enough, the pork taco was the best of the three, with the steak coming in a close second. Each of the tacos had a load of diced onion and barely a dusting of cilantro. The chicken taco, well: it tasted like chicken...plain old grilled chopped chicken breast. No Mexican seasoning, no salt, no pepper, no oomph, no nothing. The same train to flavortown carried the sides of black beans and rice next to this poor pocket of poultry. It barely got outta the station; with nary a head of steam. Parenthetically, the picture on their Facebook page shows big attractive portions of rice and black beans. Our dinners received two measly monkey dishes. Just as well since both were tepid and bland! The plate came with a wedge of lemon. I think lime is the more appropriate accompaniment! Drew told us he wasn't too familiar with the menu either. He did note to the grill man that there should be 3 tacos on each plate, ie one of each type. Grill Guy initially put two pork tacos on each plate but Drew to the rescue. That initiated a dialogue between them about the confusing name....Drew mentioned this confusing name when we ordered too. So this visit gets a demotion to three stars. I wish I could make it two and a half. We certainly would return again to explore more of the menu and their otherwise great specials.. The other times we've been there: home run. This time barely made it past first base wheezing and gasping! Only thing that may make it three stars rather than two is Drew's friendly service and demeanor. At least he's trying and does mean well. The other highlight of the whole meal was the bowl of soup. This, to me, is kinda sad in the context of a full meal. I hope this is the only time we are disappointed by this place. Methinks dinner here no great choice for us: at least no time in the near future.

    What a great find I kind of found on accident ! It's a 24 hour diner in just a small unassuming plaza but wow do they have great food ! The owners are German...I got the Rouladen and it was fabulous ! I got it with red cabbage (specials only)...It was sweet and very tart ! The German potato salad was some of the best I ever had ! The salad while not fancy ,was chopped up very evenly which I liked and everything was very fresh...The House dressing was like a mix of creamy and thin dressing, and it was very very good ! I highly recommend that...Jay, my server, was very good and helpful...He told me dinner specials are only served until about 9:30 pm, and that they only run the German specials one week out of the month...The rest of the month the specials are chef's choice...I highly recommend this place! It's now one of my favorites in the Clearwater area.

    Last night was "German night" at the diner. As a special, they offered authentic German food. Several of us met up there. The restaurant is hidden in an old strip mall. Inside it was very warm & we were told the air conditioner was broken. Despite that, we stayed & are glad we did. I ordered Jaeger Schnitzel. This is a breaded chicken breast covered in a mushroom gravy. It came with spaetzel & German potato salad. The food came out fast & was delicious. The chicken was pounded & light and tender. The gravy was rich & satisfying. The spaetzel was on point. And the potato salad was warm & full of flavor. What a fun experience.

    The corner skillet, open 24 hours!!

    Small restaurant in the Keene plaza off East Bay Dr. One thing that jumped out at me when I sat down and looked around, was how clean this restaurant is. I do kind of linger around after my meal and read my emails ,so it gives me some time to really check out a place.

    Corner Omelet. Well made, not dry; Potatoes nicely done with peppers and onion.

Not your typical NY-style pizza whatsoever, they offer "Ohio-style" pizza which is thin crust, bar-cut in squares, similar to nearby Charlie and Millie's. The sauce is definitely different and zesty, and all of their pizzas have plentiful cheese and toppings. I have never received anything less than excellent food from here. Their Hurricane Ron pizza is a masterpiece, sort of a supreme+ with added ham, bacon, green/black olives, and banana peppers. Only 4 stars for now because one time I called in a pickup order, arrived and they never made my pizza! OK, we all make mistakes, but I was not even told "We are really sorry" or was offered a drink or anything while I waited another 15 minutes inside for my pizza. Just "Here ya go! Bye..." Really? I used to get pizza here once a week. After that snub, I come less often. After months of buying here, I felt my business was not appreciated. Still a big fan, but I have to keep things 100% honest here...

    We are totally IN LOVE with this little top secret Italian deli/market & cafe OuiOui…read more They do a lot of catering, make their own SAUSAGE & sauces AND bake all their own breads, hoagies, cookies, desserts etc., right here on site. We are still working our way thru the menu, but all the sandwiches & calzones we have had so far, including the mufalatta have been incredibly delicious OuiOui. We also ordered fresh loaves of breads to go. Picked them up the next morning. You have to order in advance for the fresh loaves of the top secret bread, as they run out quickly daily. When you go in the morning soon as they open at 10am, the place smells so good like fresh made bread, bc they are baking this amazing super unique top secret bread every morning. If you go soon as they open at 10am & get any of their subs, you will get them with the bread still warm from the oven. Their bread is so unique, I have never had any bread like theirs. It's super delicious, crispy on the outside almost like a rice flour crispy texture, but the inside is like a chewy Italian bread. It's Indescribable! It's so unique and so amazeballs on their SPICY ITALIAN SANDWICH OMG :)... Their Spicy Italian Sandwich also has this very yummy spicy mixture of peppers on it WOZA!!!! I can't even begin to tell you how delicious this sandwich is, as I have now had it 3 days in a row OuiOui. Every place we have ever lived there is always this one place we discover that becomes "our place" this is that place. It's that special OuiOui. They also make a sausage, a pepperoni & an eggplant calzone, with this same super top secret bread they make. We had both the sausage & the pepperoni, they were both delicious, but the winner for us was def the pepperoni WOZA! :)... We took the "grab & go" one out of the coolers, took it home, warmed it up in the oven, it was so freakin delicious OMG! The pepperoni is stuffed with quality moz cheese, the pull on that cheese was amazing! The best calzone we have ever had by a LONG SHOT :)..,, Unfreakinbelievable OuiOui. I know that the photos are not showing up on the feed as they should. My phone is under surveillance & is still being hacked constantly I'm changing my passwords several times a day so you will just have to go to my page to see my photos. I'm working on the counter surveillance measures now. In the meantime, I still have to eat daily, so I'm going to keep Yelping the yummiest foods possible, and who ever is hacking my phone daily, putting me under constant surveillance, must truly believe I'm so very close now to discovering the top secrets of the entire food world. I hope they're right. Because I know I just discovered one. And it's Colella's Italian Deli, their top secret bread & their Spicy Italian sub sandwich they make with their super unique top secret bread. One of the best things I have ever eaten in my life. Added to moi lists of Best Bakeries, Best Italian restaurants, fave restaurants in the Tampa area & in the St Petersburg area. If this place remains "Top Secret" it's totally fine by me. Secrets this great must be guarded.

    This is a hidden treasure in the St. Pete area. They bake their bread fresh everyday. I'm addicted…read moreto the spicy Italian sub. They also have calzones and loaves of bread for sale. Highly recommend!
