“The Shrimp & Company is a quaint seafood restaurant on the corner of 7th Ave and 22nd St in Ybor City. If you have walked past it headed for the restaurant across the street then you have missed the best seafood you could eat in Tampa. You have to try their Florida or Louisiana Steam Pot, any of the seafood baskets and their shrimp stuffed mondongo. The food and terrific service is worth another trip to the small family owned restaurant. Don’t miss it!“

“If you’re looking for real, down-home Southern cooking, Ya Ya Southern Food is the spot. This family-owned gem gives you more than just a meal—it gives you an experience that feels like home. The matriarch is in the kitchen doing what she does best, seasoning everything to perfection. Her fried chicken? Crispy, flavorful, and cooked with love in every bite. You can taste the care and tradition in the food—it’s the kind of meal that takes you straight back to grandma’s kitchen. While you wait, her husband is outside setting the vibe, DJing and playing all the popular tracks, making the whole place feel like a family cookout. And their daughter keeps everything running smoothly at the register, greeting everyone with warmth and making you feel like part of the family. Ya Ya Southern Food isn’t just somewhere you eat—it’s somewhere you feel welcomed. Good food, good music, and good people. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Decided to try this spot as I was in the area even though lots of reviews said this lady had a major attitude problem but I figured why not still try.
So yes...homegirl does need to adjust the attitude but within the 20 mins of waiting for my food people kept coming in to place orders attitude or not. I ordered doubles which was actually the best I've had in Tampa and also got buss up shot with bone in curry chicken which was excellent. Will I be visiting again? Definitely yes!!!! Sometimes we can't have it all and if this is the lady demeanor so be it, her food is excellent!!!“
