“Lucky Tigre absolutely delivered. 🌟

The beef and carrot dumplings were the undeniable star. Perfectly tender, deeply savory, and packed with flavor in every bite. Easily the kind of dish you keep thinking about after you leave.

Service was incredible from start to finish; attentive, warm, and genuinely welcoming.

The mochi crispy chicken was another standout; crunchy on the outside, juicy inside, and totally addictive. And the smash burger x pancit collab in a bao bun? Pure genius. Comfort food meets creativity, and it works *so* well.

Lucky Tigre is firing on all cylinders; bold flavors, thoughtful dishes, and top-tier hospitality. Can’t wait to go back. 🐯🔥“

“What an amazing beautiful place. I’ve driven past so many times. I finally went today with some mom friends and had a fabulous lunch. I’ve never had a salad so fresh! The citrus dressing was perfect and the lentil soup was also delicious. Looking forward to some homemade bread and chicken salad for lunch tomorrow. We will be back for again for a tour and more wonderful food. Thank you!“

“The place was fantastic and the service was excellent. I had the Ropa vieja omelette while my wife opted for the steak and cheese sandwich, both were absolutely delicious. Its proximity to the airport was very convenient for us after a long flight.“

“Best N Y bagels in Tampa. Always fresh and delicious . Very friendly staff and great service. All of their menu items are wonderful!“

“We stopped in here by happenstance for lunch and we’re so happy we did!! The food was SO fresh and tasty!! The Prosciutto panini was so wonderfully flavorful that I bought a second one to go! We also had the strawberry salad, a breakfast croissant and bowl of fruit and ALL were so flavorful and the best part second only to the flavor of amazing goodness is that the serving sizes were enough to pleasantly satisfy without leaving you feeling stuffed!! I rarely recommend places but I loved this place so much that I had to share — definitely going back again!!“

“The owner of Lit, Josh and his wife are all about the community! Josh took a crew of 3-4 guys to cut down trees in neighborhoods during Hurricane Milton that were blocking roads or hazardous bc he’s all about the ppl of Tampa. Y’all gotta support this business.“

“The meeting space is awesome. The coffee ☕️ I bought by the bag was also wonderful. Thank you for sharing your story and the experience you give to all who come through your doors.“

“I’m still dreaming about the The crepe itself was paper-thin and delicate, with those perfectly slightly crispy, golden edges that give way to a tender, light center. It was generously stuffed with fresh ham, and chese and the presentation was a work of art—were almost too beautiful to eat. It was decadent without being overwhelming, and the first bite was a total 'wow' factor."“

We wholeheartedly recommend Corona Coffee Shop for any catering needs. They played a significant role in making our special day truly unforgettable.“

“I feel nice and full after that meal, thank you!! I also really enjoyed talking to one of the volunteers. I didn't ask her name and I have bad eyesight to see her name tag but I think her name was Terren or something similar. Just a super nice person and I had a great time. Thanks for all that y'all do for the community“

“Love the atmosphere! Food and coffee are delicious. Will definitely be back.“

“Incredibly delicious food and large portions every time !! My favorite place to eat in Tampa by far, I visit often. They have a lot of variety, so you can always find something to eat. The chicken curry specialty dish is exquisite I highly recommend it if it’s on their menu. As said by Tarek, he cooks for lunch and dinner and only charges for lunch ??“

“Best in town! Highly recommended!“

“Velvety smooth fresh hummus topped with extra olive oil - you can taste the tahini. Chicken Shawarma was perfect. Bacon Egg and Cheese NYC style. Custom cafe drinks made to your liking - unique flavors NOT too sweet. Fresh strawberry juice made day of. These gentlemen are on IT! What a cool hidden gem. Peaceful cafe perfect for quiet meetings and collecting your thoughts before a busy day. If I was local I’d eat here every DAY. Thanks Oasis Kitchen.“

“BEST chicken salad sandwich in town!! My lunch staple 3 out of 5 days. Caren and her team are incredible.“

“Great food, fantastic service!“

“I absolutely love this place. I found out about them a couple years ago and have been coming to them since. I made this video on a whim because I just felt like they deserved some more love. Everything that I have had from this place is absolutely delicious especially the hurricane sandwich on pumpernickel bread. As you guys can see from the video that this is my go to order and I am obsessed with it. It is so delicious.

If you’re in the area and have not tried Moxie’s too definitely place an order over the phone and go pick it up ASAP !

10/10 ⭐️

“This was, without a doubt, one of the best chicken Phillys I've ever had! You could really tell the cook took immense pride in preparing it. Beyond the fantastic food, the staff was incredibly polite and genuinely nice. I'll absolutely be back here on my next visit to Tampa!“

“One of the best breakfast places in Tampa. Good, coffee, good food, good service. They have the best GF bread I’ve ever had- large bonus.“

“Highly recommend the breakfast Cuban. Bread had to be baked last night or this morning — so fresh. What the sandwich lacks in spice it makes up for in subtlety and creaminess. The breakfast croissant is goat cheese forward, but you still get the butteriness of the croissant and the sharpness of the spinach. Any goat cheese lover should try it. The caramel latte isn’t too sweet. The music is unique and enjoyable.“

“Loved this place. The staff were great and friendly. They seem to love what they do and you could tell they made everything with love.“

“Delicious food! Great service! The best part is the speed that the food is ready! Thanks ladies!“

“First time here the food was delicious and the desert is delicious. Nate gave us recommendations and he was spot on! 10 out of 10“

“Ordered the Jerk chicken and Mac cheese, it's fresh and delicious... server was very friendly and helpful.“

“Delicious! The food, service, and atmosphere are all amazing at DI Coffee Bar. You can't go wrong with any of their specialty lattes, and everyone behind the counter is super sweet and helpful.
I wish they had more seating inside, but this isn't even close to a deal breaker.
My favorites: chocolate croissants, banana pudding latte, and the croissant breakfast sandwiches.

“I absolutely Love Candor Grille ! I watched & waited for it to open as our options are a bit limited living in Fishhawk. I am a foodie & moved here in March. Yeah. Not many options. At all. So when Candor opened, I was running in. My main problem usually is that I am a vegetarian & I am usually stuck eating a salad or sides. Their sides & apps are delicious however. I was over the moon to see they had the Impossible Burger. (& this isn't the same Impossible Burger you get at Burger King guys). This is a thick & juicy burger that you order however you want. Rare, medium, etc * AMAZING! * Not only have they Always been more than accommodating to my needs, they also are accommodating to your dogs needs ! SAY WHAT ? Yes, that's right they have a dog menu & ample space for you & your FurBaby to dine comfortably on the patio. Major bonus points as most of the residents around the FishHawk area have dogs. The owner is such a down to earth guy. Just the right amount of chill mixed in with the right amount of restaurant savvy knowledge. Always available if you have a question about the menu etc. Actually entire staff is amazing & I’ve been coming here since it opened. I’m not sure why some other diners didn’t have the same great service as I did? If you came & had mixed feelings I would urge you to give it another try. All restaurants have a few bumps in the beginning, as far as I can tell, they are on the ball. I can honestly say I’ve never left without a smile on my face. Great food, great drinks, great atmosphere & an amazing staff. To me, Candor is the type of place “Where everybody knows your name” with Major class.“

“Food was great and Marietta was the best. We were 10 and she was awesome. Thank You“

“This cozy cafe has the best bowls. The service is amazing and I will definitely be back again“

“This bar is a hidden oasis in the Rocky Point area. Live music, good bar food, great bartenders and a swimming pool!“

“Very nice atmosphere and service!“

“My go to coffee spot in downtown Tampa! They have so many flavor options and the staff is the friendliest! Matthew especially makes the most delicious drinks and always delivers the most impeccable customer service. The staff, especially Matthew, is a key reason why i always go back! the bacon egg and cheese sandwiches are super “

“I HIGHLY recommend Laura and 511 Food company. She recently catered our son’s rehearsal dinner for 60 people and she did an absolute AMAZING job. The food was fabulous and we received MANY compliments from our guests. Not only was the food fabulous but Laura was wonderful to work with!!!!“

“Excellent place for a quick bite off the bus station“
