“07/10/26 From the moment we walked in until the moment we left, our experience was immaculate. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and everything exceeded our expectations.

Our server was absolutely excellent—attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. They truly helped make the experience enjoyable.

I also want to recognize the manager for his outstanding leadership. With the storm moving through the area, he acted immediately to implement safety precautions and made sure both the guests and employees were safe and informed. His professionalism and calm demeanor did not go unnoticed.

This visit was especially meaningful because it was the first time I’d seen my mom in two years, and I’m grateful that we were able to share such a wonderful meal together. Thank you to the entire team for making our reunion even more memorable. Shout out to my server Rhon G & the manager Tyler Moore!“

“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!“

“I had the pleasure of dining in the Valrico restaurant and tho my review is not all pleasant the results of my issue was pleasant...My mom and I came in for dinner after her Chemo Treatment...Our waitress Bianca was very nice...we ordered our food a Pancake breakfast and Pot Pie...as we waited some time we noticed that tables whom were seated after us were getting their food...well after the 3rd table was served I finally called our waitress over to ask how long would it be she politely responded I'm checking on it now...so I asked could I please speak with a manager...The reason being is that I felt I didn't need to address the waitress because she was going to continue serving us and I didn't want the tension between us...The manager came out can't remember her name I explained to her that we had been waiting quite a while for our food and in the meantime no one said anything to us of why it's taking so long...she apologized and offered us freebies to our satisfaction...We refused the freebies because we wanted what we ordered we didn't come to get anything free...To my surprise she was very professional listened to our problem with a pleasant attitude...Even tho we refused she brought dessert to the table..just wanted to say Thank you to not only her but also Bianca I will definitely be back again...The our dinner was amazing...“
