25. Caposey’s Whole Works 
4.5 out 5 stars, 175 reviews
American, diner, breakfast, brunch
5250 Green Key Rd., New Port Richey
"They have the BEST bacon egg and cheese biscuit ever.
And their prices are fantastic. It's very rare that you can find good food, at a good price, with good staff AND a great atmosphere. If you have ever been discouraged about going there because of the long wait to get in, give it a chance when you have a few extra minutes to wait. You will be so happy you did!” - Maggie F.

24. Matjoa Korean BBQ 
5 out 5 stars, 42 reviews
Korean, BBQ
3580 Ulmerton Rd., Clearwater
"I found this gem whilst doing a search for where to eat for lunch as bf and I have been running errands and we were starving! I noticed from some other reviews that they had just opened so why not try em! We did the lunch $24.95pp ALYCE(all you can eat) option. They bring you a few sides to start off and 3 meats. Their kimchi's are tasty! I had a hard time understanding what our server was saying but she was very friendly and kept an eye on when we needed to change out the grill mats. If you're going here, make sure you are hungry! Also, they don't have the grills in the middle of the table like most places, the grill sits on the side of the booth so if you're seated right there you'll be the one manning the grill.  You will also be smelling like Korean BBQ long after you leave lol  which is not necessarily a bad thing. Looking forward to coming back to this place again!" - Jo A.

23. Mio’s Grill & Cafe 
5 out 5 stars, 34 reviews
Vegetarian, Turkish, Greek
119 2nd St. N, St. Petersburg
"This place is great! The food is very authentic and this has to be one of the best Greek/Turkish places in DTSP. The atmosphere is very cozy and the decor is culturally inspired, which is always appreciated. We ordered the cold appetizer platter, falafel dinner plate, and a chef's special (like a yogurt kebab, can't remember the name). Everything has great/appropriate portion sizes and everything tasted delicious. The cold appetizer mix had labne, babaganouj, hummus, and grape leaves. The falafel dinner had the best falafels I ever tasted, wonderfully seasoned and perfectly crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. As for the yogurt kebab it had great seasoning, the yogurt was very light, and everything just paired so well with each other. We don't typically do dessert but they offer complimentary Turkish tea so we tried their baklava and we are so happy we did. It felt like you couldn't really go wrong with anything you ordered and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. We really can't wait to go back and try more of their menu." - Fornia U.

22. Bandit Coffee Co.

Breakfast, brunch, coffee & tea
2662 Central Ave., Saint Petersburg
"Not your average coffee shop. It features a bright, open space. Great place to hang out with a few friends (pre-quarantine). The coffee is great. They have alternative milks (at minimum oat and almond). I don't remember seeing coconut milk; that would be a nice addition. But, can we talk about this breakfast sandwich? To-die-for. This isn't just egg and cheese on bread. It has thick bacon, soft scrambled eggs, chives, kewpie mayo, and brioche. Nom." - Davina D.

21. Da Sesto Italiano Ristorante e Vino 
4.5 out 5 stars, 441 reviews
Italian, pizza, wine, cocktails
7201 66th St. N., Pinellas Park
"I love the attention to detail the chef provides. Each dish feels like he personally made it just for you- nothing is rushed or ever seems to be lacking freshness.   I really enjoy the anti pasta misto. I love that you can pick your cheese and meats but they still add in accoutrements to enhance your choices.  I had the fresh papardelle with sausage, mushrooms and truffle oil in a light tomato sauce.... It was to die for! Every bite! For dessert I had the special- a cappuccino and chocolate mousse.  My baby was fussy so the chef made me a special to
Go one so I could enjoy it as intended.  My husband had the surf and turf, he loved the unique mustard based sauce on the steak and said the lobster was perfectly cooked. Hands down best Italian in Pinellas!" - Jennifer I.

27225 SR-56, Wesley Chapel
"My son brought me to this decadent heaven. The choices of toppings for their mini pancakes and liege waffles is amazing. The chocolate chip cookie reminds me of the best cookie I've ever had which was at Levain bakery in NY. It's just as big and they serve it warm and it just melts in your mouth. If you like big rich chocolate chip walnut cookies this is the one to eat in Tampa. The hot chocolate was also an amazing surprise. Thick and rich with little marshmallows inside. It's amazing because everything sounds super sweet but they walk the fine line and make everything so good without being over sweet. A definite find! Oh and the employees which I believe are the owners couldn't be any nicer and sweeter." - Frank M.

"I adore this upscale food courtyard/ plaza.  So many delicious choices and open seating, so friends can dine as their palate wants all together - inside or al fresco on the beautiful patio - or picnic style overlooking the water, or eve in the partially protected open air courtyard.  The facilities are very cleanly maintained.  Now that COVID is in play, this is even more vital to me.  Their curbside pick-up is fast, friendly and contact-less. And, the food vendors don't disappoint on their takeout, either!  As an added bonus, the patio is dog friendly, so my boys LOVE joining me - and yes, they get a meal, too." - Melissa S.

"The biscuits here are pretty unique and honestly not that expensive at all. Right off the bat, the mac & cheese here is insanely delicious. Probably one of the best mac & cheese I have ever had. In my top 5 for sure. The Squawking Goat Biscuit is pretty weird to be honest and has a very distinctive taste, I would order something different if it is your first time going! Their menu is pretty diverse and has a lot to offer. The coffee here is authentic and delicious. The Maple Vanilla Latte is delicious. Not the cheapest and a bit pricey. The biscuits are not small but also not the biggest! Will return and keep exploring the menu. Loved their outdoor patio seating!" - Javier H.

17. Magdalena’s Pizzeria 
4.5 out 5 stars, 121 reviews
Pizza, Italian
2313 W Linebaugh Ave., Tampa
"Don't judge this place from the outside! I was skeptical to try it due to its outside presentation but inside it was decent. It's pretty small so if it's a busy time I suggest ordering to go. As well as the pizza takes a while to make but the wait is worth it! We ordered quite a few pizzas: the greek, double cheese, Hawaiian, and taco. The Hawaiian pizza was by far my favorite! It was the perfect ratio of pineapple to ham. As for the taco pizza they serve the pizza with beef and sour cream with tomato, lettuce and onion on the side. I loved that they did this because everyone got to make it themselves and even the picky eaters could enjoy a slice! The plain cheese pizza was also really good. The dough they make the pizza with is really yummy. I definitely recommend trying this pizza place! My only critique would be that it was on the saltier side. Next time I go I'll be asking for light on the salt." - Carolina M.

"Family owned and operated with kindness and integrity. Best Thai food in Tampa, hands down. I've eaten drunken noodles 100 times over at different places and this was by far the best. I usually need the Thai spicy tray to add seasonings, but it was completely unnecessary here. Also, if the awesome waitress gives you a recommendation...TAKE IT! She knows what she's talking about! She recommended the fried prawns in tamarind sauce and I was super hesitant but it was outstanding and completely unexpected. FYI- they have a vegan menu and a regular one." - Phalan W.

"We were recommended this restaurant by a coworker and it did not disappoint! We had family in town that we hadn't seen in quite some time and noble crust had food choices for everyone. In addition to this, the front staff and waitress were very personal and helpful! From offering suggestions (and small samples of the wine to better make a choice) to just small conversation it was very nice. For food we started with garlic knots (served piping hot in cast iron) and truffle fries- both delicious! Between the group we were recommended the fried chicken by the waitress- described by my family as one of the best! The pizza and pasta were equally delicious!
As a note, we didn't originally see it on the menu but they have impossible meat meatballs for the vegetarians out there! So great!
Needless to say we enjoyed the atmosphere and the food, was the perfect place to meet up with family." - Brittany B.

Tacos, Tex-Mex

"I LOVE THIS PLACE. Their Austinite tacos are amazing (or the Hen House if you don't eat beef). Their sauces are really fresh and natural tasting, the tortillas are the right thickness and texture to compliment everything. I eat here every time I have the chance and will frequently go out of my way to get food here. The only unfortunate thing about this location is that they do not have enough seating inside (due to county regulations), so you either have to get lucky, or you have to plan to take it to go. Not something I'd take any stars off for (because the food is totally worth it), just something I am sharing as I would like to know before I go. But let me put it this way - I would be more than happy to eat their tacos standing up if that was my only choice because they're that good." - Phillipa M.

We loved the different pancakes and the portions were great and priced right.  We really liked our server staff.  The servers were all characters, we loved these ladies!  Fantastic service and servers!  Plenty of food for the money a truly great value.    I love the different coffee's available.  In particular the Barista blend, black all the way.

There is limited seating and this is definitely more of a take out place. I ordered the Frisco melt which was delicious. Honestly best vegetarian I have had. We also got the cashew Mac and cheese and my husband got the jerk burger which was also very good. The food is 5 stars but it is not a sit down place more of a take out place and also it's a bit pricey." - Tiffany D.

The bread. Whatever magic is in that sub roll sets this place above larger sandwich places. The roll is pillow soft with a crackling crisp exterior. The shop is clean and well lit. The owners are cheerful and really care enough to put out a superior product.  The menu is small, but the four different sandwiches I have tried have all been delicious. I highly recommend Rocky Mountain Subs." - Nic S.

"My first time trying spice kitchen- I opted for takeout. However, the restaurant itself when I poked my head in was super clean and spotless. There are few things I appreciate more than a clean restaurant. The owner is incredibly kind as well! THE FOOD- oh my lord!!! It was hot, fresh and well packed which is a must with takeout. Extremely flavorful and the aroma is intoxicating! I opted for vegetarian this time but they have a large menu for both meat eaters and vegetarians. Next time I definitely want to try the lamb! This is some of the best food I've had in Tampa, everything was so well balanced. The spice level in my palak paneer was like a 3.5/10, enough to be enjoyable but not overpowering. The mango lassi was tangy and cooling. Garlic naan was two massive pieces, soft and pillowy with the perfect amount of chew. The rice pudding dessert is one of my favorite things and I enjoyed theirs! Cant wait to order again. Definitely a must try restaurant!." - Rachel R.

"If you love a good burger don't come here. If you want a great burger come here!!! Let's talk about what makes a burger great, the meat!! The meat that they are putting between these buns is so flavorful. I don't know what that spice blend is but I am soo about it. My burger was juicy and was complimented by all the toppings. We got a double cheese with bacon and not one but two KRISPY KREME DONUTS with bacon and cheese. Definitely have to do the hunch for these burgers cause that drip is serious. Both came with a side of fries that you got to doctor up any way you'd like. They also sell my favorite cheesecakes there. Augustine's!! They also carry their own strawberry lemonade!!! I am definitely a fan and I will be back next time I want a great burger." - Anastasia A.

"If you love a good burger don't come here. If you want a great burger come here!!! Let's talk about what makes a burger great, the meat!! The meat that they are putting between these buns is so flavorful. I don't know what that spice blend is but I am soo about it. My burger was juicy and was complimented by all the toppings.

"20 Shekels Bread consistently creates artisan loaves and inspiring flour-based concoctions. I have visited both the physical store front and their booths at various markets and have always been impressed with the selection and chosen ingredients. The high quality ingredients and preparations really shines in the product. I am a huge fan of their ORGANIC sprouted flour breads :-D and their unique offerings like pumpkin seed studded pumpkin bread. In addition, their breakfast bread (smaller hand-held-type breads) are phenomenal! I adore the no-dairy vegetable melange (I don't know the official name) individual sized bread and my husband and I enjoy the blueberry cream hand held bread (despite me not being a huge cream or cream cheese person). Drool-worthy. Every product I have had from here is fresh and really stands out. I always look forward to trying more of their offerings whenever I can. Keep up the great work, 20 Shekels!!" - Tina S.

"I've been here a few times already and I've always had a good experience here. This is a located at the west edge of Tampa Armature Works, facing Hillsborough River. The scene and interior design here is very beautiful. It has a bit of a "fancy-rustic" vibe. The food style is seasonal gourmet. The food is a bit pricey than the average restaurant, but worth the flavors. If you're friendly enough with the bartender, he may recommend a few custom drinks to you. Be wary of the prices though. My favorite salad here is the 007 salad. Since the menu has a bit of variety and may change from time to time, I don't really have a favorite dish for the moment. All I can say is that all the ones I had were delicious and full of dimension. The food service timing and friendliness of the staff has been good so far from my experience. I would definitely recommend this place if you're looking for brunch/lunch/dinner in this area." - Shune D.
