Our favorite places to eat
This a mix of casual and fun places with a few fancy, iconic places thrown in. All are pretty good though and worth a visit.
A great new addition to the Riverwalk area. It features lots of different types of food and shopping with a common seating area. Great way to end a walk on the Riverwalk with a meal or snack.
Only .4 miles down Ola. Easy walk from the house.

This is one of our favorite places to eat in Tampa. Very casual with cuban flair. Location has a cafe, a bakery and counter service (my fav) The portions are generous and the price is great. Best part is that it is open 24 hours. Make sure you have cafe con leche after your meal.

This is a must visit while in Tampa. This is the bakery that supplies cuban bread to many of the local restaurants including The Columbia. They have terrific sandwiches both for breakfast and lunch. They also have many different kinds of sweet treats for anytime.

This is another place that you must visit while in Tampa. They serve the best grits in the entire world. Regardess of the time of day, I have grits as one of my sides. The grouper sandwich is great. I also would encourage you to order a pancake (plain or sweet potato) to share at the table. They also have great milkshakes and pie!

Great for breakfast! lunch! or Dinner! They are only open until 8pm however. No matter when you go, it is worth trying the buffalo chicken mac and cheese or the Captain Crunch french toast. We usually get one of these as our appetizer.
