    Signature Build Your Own Bowl with salmon
    Alexandra E.

    Easy to find location and plenty of seating. A clear and extensive menu and variety of options for making your own meal to your liking. The staff i encountered were friendly enough and the restaurant was clean. It was a bit pricey, my meal with a drink cost $18 so that was a little deterring but you get a good helping and it's all fresh ingredients.

    Oven Baked Chicken Wings
    Wayne Z.

    Really dig this spot. Consistent service and quality of food. I've taken to go and ordered from uber eats when in town and have enjoyed the bowls and the baked wings. Ingredients are fresh and the seasonings and sauces they offer are great. I typically go with a build your own bowl and add wings as an extra. Highly recommend the sweet potato, broccoli and Brussels as a base

    The food was great! I compare it to like a so fresh or a fresh kitchen but in all honesty I liked this more! The service was amazing while they were talking me through ingredients since I have allergies and it was my first time there. But what I didn't like was the people in the restaurant loud there was like a friend of employees talking over the glass and people on speaker phones if not this would be a 5/5.

    Veggie bowl with tofu

    This was the best meal that I've had from Bolay. It was so good that Bolay will be my number 1 healthy eating place in Brandon. It's in the top 5 of the places I've eaten at in the Tampa Bay Area.

    I love going to Bolay in the central FL area and tried this location for the first time. It is the cutest one I've been to! I ordered ahead and my bowl was ready when I got there. They have lots of seating options and the staff were great. I also appreciate how cautious/careful they are of a no gluten kitchen and heard them talking about this during an interview that was being conducted. Thanks Bolay for being the best:)

    At first, upon entering the cafe, the food smelled so so delish! Of course I was starving and I wanted something fast and full of protein. Other than eating mexican food everyday...my thinking was.... how about Bolay as a change of pace ?? Its good and you get your moneys worth...however.... I think that the chunk of beef could be more tender and seasoned better. I'm enthusiastic about this place but it certainly won't be my first choice.

    With everyone doing the fresh healthy bowl casual dining, I figured Bolay would be similar to others I have tried before. To my surprise, I tried this location in Brandon and it definitely rivaled its counterparts Fresh Kitchen. My toddler had the pesto noodles and devoured it! I didn't even need to feed her. I had their rainbow bowl and the two chicken thighs were large, juicy and flavorful. My husband had the teriyaki bowl and the chicken was the delicious and personally their sweet potato noodles were better than others. Did I mention their bowls were 100% gluten free? They allowed me to sample one of the items I wasn't sure I would like and I appreciated that.

    Large bowl with teriyaki chicken and steak. Delicious!
    James T.

    Jut as good as Fresh Kitchen and other farm to table concept restaurants that populate the Tampa and St Pete area. I like that they have a few extra items to choose from than the others. Got a bean mixture for one of my sides that was mighty tasty! Also really enjoyed their teriyaki chicken. Service was prompt. Will be back.

    2 Carbs, veggies & and protein! Yum!
    Nicky M.

    Food was great! Loved it. It may look like a mess when put in one bowl but as my mother used to say "It's all going to the same place". Ample parking space which is always a plus! Service was meh but idc lol Place a clean and inviting.

    Bowl with glazed tofu, broccoli, spinach, corn, feta cheese, mushrooms, onions, and black rice
    Jennifer T.

    The dish I ordered was very much like or would say better than the photo online. Veggies & black rice & tofu were fresh, gorgeous, cooked to perfection. The uber driver delivered to the hotel on time - great exchange. One TIP: put a few extra napkins with a fork & knife in the bags to be delivered.

    Candace S.

    I ordered through Uber Eats and was surprised how quickly I received my food. It was so delicious and filling! I ended up splitting it up between two meals because it was so filling. I always appreciate a healthy and good tasting meal. I will be back Bolay!

    This bowl was amazing! The workers did not skimp on any of the proteins or toppings. Bolay is such a great healthy option and is very convenient. I got my bowl to go, but the inside of the restaurant was very clean! I will definitely be coming back.

The background music was just a nice volume so as to not overwhelm the table. If you go try to not let them seat you at the furthest back table against the wall in the side dining room. Definitely a turn off given the open vibe of the other dining areas which had openings.

I also love their steak tips, when they are on special. Their grape leaves platter and fried seafood platters are also some of my regulars; just make sure you have a big appetite if you order either because they are substantial!

She promptly brought me menus and asked if I'd like anything to drink, which she delivered without hesitation. While I was perusing the menu, Shana went to another table, but she returned quickly to take my order. My Farmhouse Hash arrived in about 10 minutes, and it was delicious. Shana checked in with me a few times during my meal, but she didn't hover, which I appreciated. The restaurant was spotless, with a diligent cleaning crew ensuring a hygienic environment after each patron's departure. However, I noticed a minor issue: the restroom water was trickling out during my handwashing. I promptly informed an employee about this problem, and she promptly called out to someone, likely the manager. It was reassuring to witness the staff's attentive response and the swift action taken to address the issue. The food was quickly delivered at the right temperature and tasted wonderful.

The Elevated Egg Sandwich was incredible and easily the highlight of the meal. The potatoes were cooked perfectly--crispy, well-seasoned, and honestly some of the best I've had at a brunch spot. The warm syrup was a small detail but made a big difference. And the passion fruit donut holes? Absolutely addictive--we were already wishing we had ordered more. There were a couple minor issues. The eggs on the Tri-Fecta were ordered medium but came out more well done. Still flavorful, just not exactly as requested. The tacos were also very good, but the corn tortillas kept falling apart, which made them a bit difficult to eat. Overall, a really enjoyable experience with excellent service and several standout dishes. Definitely a place I'd come back to--especially for those donut holes.
