    Fries
    Isany M.

    Man oh man--these are hands down the best bone-in wings I've had in Tampa so far! I ordered the spicy flavor and let me just say... absolute fire! The wings are big (not those tiny ones some places serve), so you're definitely getting your money's worth. They're fried to perfection, and the sauce clings perfectly to the crispy batter--super flavorful with just the right kick. The fries were also seasoned really well, no complaints there! Service was friendly and welcoming, which added to the positive experience. The ambiance is simple and straightforward--small space where you order right when you walk in--but the focus is clearly on the food, and they nail it. Definitely coming back for another round!

    Stopped by Yuppi after a night out. Perfect place to grab food before heading home. The space is small so not ideal for sitting inside. But a MUST! The wings were outstanding, and their sauce is one of a kind. The greens and mac taste very much homemade and the service is very friendly. My favorite was the greens! Definitely can't wait to return ! The wait time can be long if busy but definitely worth it!

    Visited the Yuppi location in YBOR after realizing the food truck in Brandon was no longer open. I first tried YUPPI as part of an Elite experience and the wings were so Amazing! Flavor was excellent. This visit fell a little short as I felt like the wings were not crispy enough possibly because they are HUGE. Overall the wings and flavor were good but I will def order them well done next time. I advise placing your order ahead of time as they were packed when I visited. The ybor location is at: 1821 E 7th Ave, Tampa, FL 33605 located next door to a tattoo shop.

    It's always a pleasure eating at Yuppi. The service is quick and friendly, the ambience is chill, and the food never misses. Every visit is consistent and worth it. Highly recommended!

    The wings were fried to perfection and the sauce was absolutely delicious. The shrimps were also very large. For sides I got collard greens and macaroni & cheese. The greens were so flavorful! I highly recommend them. For a dessert I got banana pudding. I felt the pudding was lacking bananas and cookies, so I probably wouldn't order that again. Overall it was a great experience and I can't wait to try their food again!

    Massive order of wings and fries!!

    Had to return... again! This place is just too good not to visit at least once a month. I'm gonna start making up the excuse that I need to go to the car wash next door, just to hit up Yuppi more often. The wings were phenomenal, as usual. And this time we tried the shrimp and the sides. Good lord... everything here is excellent. The shrimp was delicious and the potato salad and Mac and cheese were some of the best sides I've ordered at a place like this. They need to come up with a system to let you know your food is ready, without needing to hear your name called out. A text or a screen where you can see your name or something along those lines. It's very hot still when it opens and the sun hits right into the shed with the tables, so we like to wait in the car. Also, they need some sun blades or something to block that intense sun. But all that said... we'll be back... again.

    Found this place by way of the Yelp event. My wife is elite but I am not so I paid for the food. I am happy to support this black-owned business. The staff was very courteous and grateful for the support. The food was very flavorful. I went with the special which included wings, shrimp, Mac and fries. Everything was seasoned well, hot and perfectly crispy. Highly recommend. A little pricier than I expected though. FYI, It is located next in a random lot next to a car wash. If you're not paying attention, you'll drive pass it. It's a bit of a drive from me, but I would return if I'm ever near Brandon.

    Anytime we're in the mood for some wings that absolutely will not disappoint, we think of Yuppi's. The wings are super crispy and the yuppi sauce cannot get any better. But don't sleep on the catfish either! It's a great sized filet and fried to perfection! They recently added a buttery biscuit to the menu that tastes like granny's finest. I've been a customer for years and I'm so glad they're back in Ybor.

    On my recent trip, I was finally able to try the wings. The wings are incredibly crispy and highly flavorful and seasoned without being salty. They must use some type of premium chicken because the wings are big & fulfilling. I usually don't like drums because they are so meaty but it didn't matter here because the crispness is amplified on drums and flats. Amazing seems like an understatement. Definitely worth the hype! I also tried the mac n cheese and cornbread. The sides were decent. Nothing special like the wings or shrimp, just okay.

    I am officially addicted to Yuppi. I think they put addictive drugs in the sauce! Just kidding. Got my fix of 10 shrimp with fries. Easily worth $21.50 with tax (added $4 cash tip).

    Baked Macaroni & Cheese And Smoked Turkey Collard Greens

    When I first heard of this place about a month or two ago, I decided to give it a try. They're located in a food truck next-door to the car wash on 78th St. with outdoor seating (shaded picnic tables) and a truckside shaded area to wait in line. They made sure to have parking in the back grassy lot. I fell in love with the spicy wings right away! Those are my favorite entrée here. Their spicy wings can be described as not really that spicy, but more like a tasty sweet heat. It's similar to a sweet Thai chili sauce, but with different seasonings. A good second would be their fried catfish (good with hot sauce in my opinion). The baked mac & cheese, collard greens, and country potato salad are good to. That banana pudding blew mind and is my favorite dessert from here! Needless to say, it was bussin! I've already made a few trips here and already know what my go-to's are now. it was a little off the beaten path for me, but totally worth it. This place is gonna make me fat, lol!

    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've had many Cubans throughout the Tampa Bay area, and I can honestly say this was the best I've ever had.

It's a cool, spacious venue with a long bar and a welcoming staff that made the experience even better. I would absolutely recommend it and plan to return.

Howeverrrrr..... I may slightly resemble Uncle Fester, but that does NOT give a server an excuse to not approach me at all. From the moment I sat down, I waited a while until I kindly asked for a menu. The barmaid gave it to me, without saying anything else. Then I had to notify her that I was ready to order, after waiting a few minutes. After I told her I wanted the Cuban sandwich, she said "okay" and walked away. She brought the plate to me, and set it in front of me without saying anything. Nor did she swing by, to ask how my food was. The guy with the dark haired bowl-cut was the ONLY one who asked how my food was, and he wasn't even my waiter! I was too kind to give her a tip anyway. Some people jussssst do not belong in customer service, if they lack communication skills or common sense. I didn't feel comfortable with staying there, after the cold reception from the barmaid, and left.

The server did mention they're still recovering from the Super Bowl rush, so some items were a little different than usual including wing size, which she said is typically bigger. I went with a vegan friend who really enjoyed their vegan burger, so it's nice to see solid options on both sides of the menu. Full bar, lively atmosphere, and great burgers make this a spot worth checking out for a good pub experience.

    All the food and drinks are absolutely delicious…read more I didn't realize they have a different menu on the weekends than they do on a weekday. I've been looking at weekday menus, so I inadvertently brought us on the weekend when the menu was different and didn't have things my kids would eat. However, my husband and I really enjoyed the food. I tried a Matcha latte with oat milk and Ube cold foam. It is amazing, no notes. I would get it every single time. We also tried their soup, dumplings, steamed chicken dumplings, pickled vegetable side, pork bun, and shrimp and pork bun. I can't eat the buns since I don't eat pork, but everything else was amazing. One of my sons did end up choosing a chocolate croissant so I tried a little and it was very good as well. This isn't your grocery store croissant. It was buttery and flaky with a good amount of chocolate. Inside is filled with eclectic decor, and you can purchase the art on the wall. Everyone who worked here was very friendly. They have a small parking lot out front, but this place isn't around a ton of other things so I would assume parking is no problem. If I lived closer, I would come back for the Matcha latte alone. I would definitely recommend checking this place out.
