    Chicken tenders
    Kylle S.

    Stopped in for lunch. I had the chicken tenders with fries and coleslaw. So much food for the price! The waitress was super nice and made me feel super comfortable. Glad to have grabbed a bite here!

    We were seated quickly but then had to wait a bit to order as there was confusion as to whose table it was. Once we ordered our coffee it was better. We had veggie omelet and eggs with corn beef hash and grits. The omelet was pretty good but the tomato was really under ripe, wish they would have told me. The corn beef was crispy and grits were ok. Overall a fair breakfast. We had not been to a Wooden Spoon with a bar in it, very interesting.

    First time here. Got eggs Benedict. Was average. Not great not horrible. Sauce was good but a little too thick. Hash browns under seasoned but cooked nicely. Place is ok if you are near it

    Sausage and Gravy.

    We were so excited to have a breakfast option in this area of Riverview. I would like to say that everyone was very friendly. The food was a big challenge for us at breakfast. Maybe the lunch or other items are better, I can only review what we ate. First the prices are a bit high. Our Eggs Benedict was $13 dollars and came ala carte. Im not sure who their chef is or how they make this dish or was not good. The sauce is so yellow and thick and flavorless. The english muffin flat and dry and the Canadian bacon had an odd after taste. I ate part of one and everything remained on my plate. The sausage and gravy was equally unacceptable. We had to order a sausage patty so there was sausage in the gravy. It was thick, clumpy, stuck to the fork upside down and im not sure where they acquired the biscuits they were flat and not good. The sausage patty had some kick to it and I did eat a couple bites of the patty. The coffee was very watered down too. All in $60 for 2 Eggs Benedict, sausage and gravy, side of sausage, side of hasbrowns and side of grits. I really hope this is because they are new and figuring things out. On a possitive note the hasbrowns were yummy and the people are nice.

    This was our first time at the new location. The service was great and the food as well. My wife and I stopped in for lunch the first time i had the fish fry. We both enjoyed it very much. The fries were seasoned and cooked great witch is a good start. The coleslaw was good and I usually don't like coleslaw from restaurants but this one was good. Now the fish battery seasoned and cooked to perfection. We will be back to try more from the menu. All and all 8.1 on this visit.

He recommended the Holy Shitake pie and we added half of the great white and let me tell you that recommendation was on point.

If I had to pick favorites, it would be the Steak & Cheese or my build‑your‑own with cheese, ground beef, pineapple, and onions, or the meat‑lover option calzone...honestly, they're all winners. This time, I went in planning to order The Elevated Cobb, but after walking past all the amazing‑smelling pizza, we changed course and got a medium Mighty Meaty pizza which has mellow red sauce, pepperoni, Italian sausage, honey ham, applewood-smoked bacon, mozzarella.. It was absolutely delicious and totally worth the switch. I can't recommend this place enough--if you're thinking about coming here, do it. You won't be disappointed.

    I've been a loyal customer of Frankie's Deli since they opened. I typically order the chicken salad…read moreor a sandwich, and I also place large catering orders for my customers because they genuinely enjoy the food. Unfortunately, after my most recent experience, I won't be returning. I stopped in around 3:00 p.m. and was happy to see it wasn't busy. I went to the deli counter, waited for someone to serve me, ordered my chicken salad, grabbed a soda and chips, and headed to the open register. As I walked up, the cashier called another customer over ahead of me. I waited while he spent several minutes deciding whether to pay cash or by card because of the 4% card fee. I continued standing there with my three items, to the point that I actually set them down and debated walking out. Then, instead of helping me, the cashier motioned for an entire family to come to the registereven though I had been standing there waiting before they arrived. After that, she waved over another customer, and I had to wait while a mother and her two teenagers decided which desserts they wanted. Again, I stood there patiently. When it was finally my turn, there was no greeting, no "thank you for waiting," nothing. The first thing I was asked was, "Do you have a pickup order?" I said no. She then motioned for my chicken salad container, saying she needed it. I placed it on the scale and set my other items on the counter. The cashier then asked, "Are you okay?" I simply shook my head because, honestly, I wasn't. Instead of recognizing why I was frustrated, she continued talking, making comments, and escalating the interaction rather than simply ringing me up. At that point, I asked, "Do you want to argue? Do you want me to go back and forth with you?" I then asked who the manager was. She pointed to a woman beside her, who identified herself as the owner. I asked if she could ring me up instead. Even then, the cashier continued making comments. It was only after she continued engaging me that my voice became louder in response. Rather than addressing the repeated comments from her employee or asking what had happened, the owner immediately said, "Do not raise your voice at my employee." That response was disappointing. There was no concern for the customer experience, no apology for repeatedly being skipped in line, and no attempt to resolve the situation. There was also no acknowledgment that the interaction had been escalated by the cashier's continued remarks before I ever raised my voice. The irony is that I have spent a significant amount of money catering from Frankie's Deli over the years because my customers love the food. Good food will bring people in once. Great customer service keeps them coming back. Sadly, this experience ended that relationship for me. There are plenty of places with great food, but respect and customer service matter just as much. One final thought: this is Florida not NY. Hospitality goes a long way. The aggressive, dismissive attitude I experienced isn't what I expect when supporting a local business. I won't be back.

    My wife and I just happened upon this place by accident. We had a very simple order, we ordered two…read moreCuban sandwiches for takeout, as we were driving on a long distance road trip and this place was on our route. I've been eating Cuban sandwiches for over 50 years and I'm pretty picky. Most Cuban sandwiches I try are pretty underwhelming and often have the wrong ingredients. These sandwiches from Box of Cubans were absolutely amazing. The roasted pork was incredible and perfectly cooked / seasoned. I had large chunks of roast pork in my larger sandwich, (my wife's was slightly smaller). She was also shocked at how good the sandwich was. The bread was sublime. The cheese was perfectly melted and the pickles had a nice crunch, thin sliced and perfect flavor. The ham was great. No salami in these - which was a nice treat - for a Cuban sandwich from the Tampa area (IYKYK). Outstanding! 5 stars! We will definitely go back to try other menu items!

    Alright y'all, here we go with the official review for Box of Cubans - 10451 Gibsonton Dr…read more First things first -- the customer service? Absolutely loved it The guy at the front was on point the whole time. Even coming in right after the lunch rush, he made sure everything stayed clean and organized while still taking care of customers. That kind of attention to detail does not go unnoticed They were out of the sweet teas (I was hurt a little bit ), but overall the experience was still really good. Now let's get into the food because you already know that's what we're here for The chicken empanadas? Delicious. No complaints. The Cuban sandwich? It was good... but I'm gonna keep it real like I always do. The meat was flavorful, but it could've been more evenly distributed, and it didn't have that crispy bread texture I look for. Overall, it just didn't hit that top-tier level for me. So for this location: 8/10 Still a solid experience, still worth the visit -- but as of right now, the Wesley Chapel location is still holding that 10/10 crown And you already know I'm not done... Valrico, I'm coming next. That's Just How Life Goes... and of course, Just How Food Goes

We were there to see what kind of plants were for purchase, not getting a great sandwich. While walking the rows of booths we were getting hungry, I did see somewhere they were selling Philly cheese steaks, I dismissed it like really a Philly from a food truck and calling it a Philly also. But as I was walking the isles I caught a view of one of those cheese steaks and wow...I could see it was prepared with a proper Amoroso roll too. Okay, I got to check this joint out and glad we did. We ordered a large to split with fries. Perhaps one of the best in the area. Roll was fresh and steak done just right with cheese and onions. I will tell you this, if your ever at an event and see this truck, make it a point to stop and try it out. If you never had a cheese steak from Philly, this will be as close as your gonna get. Peace.
