Best kept secret in South Tampa. We were enjoying the walking path and pier at Ballast Point Park, decided to get lunch.
I order a lobster roll, sweet potato fries, and an Arnold Palmer. The lobster roll was fantastic. It was literally lobster and mayo, plus some seasonings. Wonderful.
The Arnold Palmer was the best I ever had, seriously.
Fries were great.

Great food and an unbeatable view. The staff is super friendly. The lobster roll and bang bang shrimp are my go-to's.
The only downside is the limited hours - the close at 6 most nights and are only open until 8 on Friday and Saturday. Parking can be rough if you are going in the weekend.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 313321756Feb 4, 2024
Good food, great view, average service.
We stopped here for lunch during our road trip to have seafood with a nice view of the bay, and definitely was not disappointed. We chose to sit outdoors, the weather was great. We had shrimps and scallops from the basket menu. Both were good, fresh and nicely done. The scallops were juicy. Good place for good seafood.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 130147393Jan 28, 2024Updated review
As always, the food was excellent and the service was pretty good and when you add the views it's a perfect seafood location

It's under new ownership since our last visit and things haven't missed a beat and it appears to be much better "Thanxs Deborah". The customer service was spot on today "Thanxs Som" and better than the past ownership. As usual the food was very tasty and nice and hot upon delivery to our table. The presentation of the food was something very different but appreciated. It shows they care about their customers and their business. We noticed some moderate changes which makes this spot more cozy and welcoming. If you live in Tampa or either visiting, then I would make this trip here. We drive about 40 miles to enjoy this wonderful place and well worth it.
Feb 4, 2023Previous reviewThis is probably my 4-5 review of this place and the food taste and quality never are a disappointment to me, family or friends. We always bring our out of town guest here because of the food, view and usually great customer service.
Today we did wait a long time to have our order taken, and once it was taken we also waited a long time for our food to be brought to us. We noticed that tables that were sat after us received their food prior to us. Our drinks never got refilled and we only saw our server when she took our order and brought us our drinks. We began feeling like it might be time for another favorite location to eat.
Once the food did arrive it was steaming hot and upon tasting it, very delicious. We all actually realized that the taste and quality of our food was better than any other time. My only issue was we got more food in the past.
Another server took over and at that point the service got much better. So I'm closing we will still patronize this establishment as one of our favorites in the Tampa metro area.Jun 18, 2022Previous reviewAs always the food was delicious and I forgot to mention in previous post. It's always fresh and hot. We had ice cream today and the scoops are huge. I ate it to fast and forgot to take a picture but trust me. Yvette continues to be one of the best servers I've had anywhere. Trust me especially if your visiting Tampa and you want some great seafood with an amazing views. Then this is the place
May 14, 2022Previous reviewEight time here in the last 5 months and I'm always pleased with the service, food and atmosphere. I drive 37 miles one way to dine here. Everything is always A+
Apr 14, 2022Previous reviewOnce again I am very satisfied with the service and the food here because today it was very very delicious. My wife and mother-in-law absolutely love this place, just as much as I do. Try the seafood platter and get onion rings. Love this place, this was my fourth visit within the last two months
Feb 18, 2022Previous reviewI rarely give 4 stars must less 5:stars but this place was great. Let me start by saying we had "great customer service" from our server "Yvette", she was awesome. Besides the service and the amazing waterfront views the food here was better than we expected. Now that my Wife and I are pescatarian we only seek out vegan and or seafood restaurants and we were more than surprised by everything we experienced here. We had the seafood platter and it was really good. I wish we got a little more of each item but it was delicious. I'd suggest the onion rings over the fries but that's my opinion and the only carry Pepsi products which of course we are a Coke family. My mother in-law had the Basa which I'm not a big fan of but I hear it's a Florida thing, I like whiting myself. But she really liked it and she even took ours home and said she was going to eat it for her dinner. They even have ice cream for desert which would have been good but we were all full. Do yourself a favor a go here to eat especially if your a seafood lover, and doing lunch there was good because it wasn't busy and my wife was able to work without any issues. We will definitely return and probably try something else on the menu.

This was such a treasure to discover during our vacation. We came in during a stormy, dreary, rainy day and it made everything better. The service was fabulous, the food was delicious, and the atmosphere made me think that we got transported into a TV show with a cute seaside cafe.

Had lunch here and it was great! It's a small spot with a few indoor tables and more outdoor seating. It's on the water, so there's nice views while you eat. Service was great and so was the good. I would definitely return.

The location is nice as it's right on the water. Service was great and the food was good. I would definitely recommend and return to try more menu items. There are also some friendly squirrels that come around that love the fries.

The difference in 6 years is great. Lobster rolls were good then but now it's pretty good. Still pricey but good. Service is great and the people treat you well. Place is small but ambiance next to the pier and water is a great scene. I would maybe recommend to screen the outside area.

Maybe add another lobster roll would do it for me. Just needs a little bit of decor, to make it feel more inviting. Great homemade ice creams. Try it. If you have kids, it's right next door to a huge park. Love the sunrise? this is one of the places to be.
Wish y'all served beer. - Aug 4, 2023
and fries for lunch! The waitresses were attentive and made sure our cups were refilled. We ordered calamari which was appetizing and 4 hot buttered lobster rolls - each one stuffed with scrumptious lobster. The space was pretty modern. Thank you!
