The food is just as good. I love their lobster roll and the fish tacos, both are always solid and hit the spot every time. Perfect spot if you want something low key with great views and good food.

Leon's Lobstah Shack is located off Interbay next to Ballast Point Park Kids playground with pretty…read moreviews of the water and the fishing pier, south of Bayshore in South Tampa. You have to place your order at a register and they bring your food out to the table overlooking the water. There is patio seating and indoor seating. The tables are metal w a blue rubber. Not uncomfortable but not particularly comfortable either. The place is casual, low frills, and does not offer table service. However, the sunsets over the water are super pretty here and the string lighting is pretty. The LOADED LOBSTER BISQUE came with creamy bisque with a hint of sherry wine and extra loaded with lots of lobstah meat. 10/10 LEONS "FAMOUS" LOBSTAH ROLL served Hot comes with old bay and butter. If Served Cold, it comes with house mayo blend, fresh citrus and old bay. I opted for hot and it was very tasty. 10/10 LEONS PO BOY came with crispy shrimp with house slaw, sweet & spicy pickles, and our scratch made remoulade. 8/10 BANG SHRIMP TACOS came with crispy shrimp with siracha mayo, sweet thai chili, house slaw, and red pepper flakes on 3 flour tortillas and a side of potato chips. The tacos were tasty but chips side was disappointing. It Would have been better with real chips and salsa. 8/10 FISH N CHIPS came with crispy northern cod fried golden brown and served with tartar sauce and leons house-made remoulade. Very tasty fresh and juicy. 9/10 LEONS CRISPY SHRIMP BASKET came with a dozen jumbo shrimp served with cocktail and leons' house made. The shrimp was surprisingly juicy and tasty. The remolded sauce was tasty as well. 9/10 If you're looking for a casual seafood spot with a pretty sunset water view in South Tampa south of Bayshore, definitely try out Leon's Lobstah Shack!

After watching Mike Chen's Tampa Bay edition, we had to try this place and it was worth the 40…read moreminute drive. Cute Little Place in a nice neighborhood with plenty of outdoor seating. Since it was a little humid outside, we opted to sit inside with the AC. Here's what we ordered: I have their new coconut crusted grouper sandwich style with onion rings. The beer battered onion rings was also a good compliment to the sandwich and the batter was so light. We also had their lobster corndog with fries. These two entrées that we ordered are a must try when you visit this place. The service was pretty quick. They got a little busy towards the end, but the food comes very quickly hardly any wait at all! So if you're in the mood for some local seafood bites and you're in the ballast point Tampa Bay area this place is a must try. Highly recommend.

BIG RAYS FISH CAMP!!…read more BRFC- great name. Don't know what a fish camp is but I'm about it. Walked in after a long day in the sun, hoping for the best outcome. And boy did I get it. I was with a party of 9. Front of house was short staffed (one line soldier) she knocked out our orders with speed and efficiency and then started bussin down tables, allowing us to move tables together and all. Heck yeah. Food showed up in waves (made the fish feel at home) and lemme tell you a secret. That fish landed infront of me...I didn't look up, head down and dialed in. Perfect harmony of ingredients. I wouldn't change a thing. Great fries too. Big Ray and your fish camp, take a bow son. Do a victory lap. You deserve every one of your flowers. You can do no wrong in my eyes.

This seafood restaurant is pretty close to Tampa International Airport and minutes away from all major beaches. It is far from glamor and glory of the other places in Tampa, but man, the food here is incredible. Continue reading to find out... Located on the corner of W Cleveland Street & S Dale Marbry Highway, in the Bon Air Neighborhood, Shells Seafood is very easy to get to. A talk sign that towers over the restaurant can be seen from hundreds of feet away while driving; it's hard to miss the sign. Plenty of parking in the stalls on the property as well as neighborhood parking and local stores adjacent parking spots. Once inside, you are greeted by the cute looking host at the nicely decorated front reception. She seats you immediately to a an open floor spacing with two sides of seating and a centralized semi-circle bar area. There are roughly over 30 tables and plenty of room to accommodate small to larger. The cajun boil here is fabulous! Loved every minute of it. Will be visiting again ... maybe not during the hurricane seasons. :)

This is a place you want to take all of your out of town guests to for dinner and cocktails. I stand by my first review that the grouper tacos, coconut shrimp, and island chicken sandwich are my fave menu items! The cocktails are STRONG and they also have a great selection of local craft beer. They have recently added more tables and expanding parking, because this place is popular and gets busy! Expect a wait on the weekends, but they have a text system so you can go find a cocktail and a view while you wait. Also, don't expect to overstay your welcome, they keep a pretty strict time limit on tables, and if you are done eating, they will kindly bring your check over. All in all, a quintessential Tampa experience!

There is a dining area and a separate bar area that also has seating, as well as tables with umbrellas closer to the water. There is live music also. The menu is extensive with appetizers, salads, sandwiches and entrees. There is also a nice drink menu. I started with a margarita and our table of 4 shared the fish bites appetizer. Our server was rushing us so much and we just wanted to enjoy a leisurely Sunday afternoon so that was annoying. The fish bites were $17.25 and there were maybe 10 little pieces. Way overpriced, but at least they tasted ok. I ordered 2 chicken tacos with fries. They came out overfilled and were hard to eat, but they were tasty. Others weren't exceptionally happy with their meals. I think service was my big issue. She rushed us to order, but once we ordered we never saw her again for more drinks or just to check on us. After we paid, we went over to the bar area and had another drink. Nicer experience.

It was my first visit; and I was immediately impressed by the beautiful setting. I was seating toward the back where I enjoyed waterfront views as I was enjoying my meal. The brunch buffet was absolutely scrumptious, offering a variety of dishes. From fresh seafood, cheese platters, meat; salad, pastries, and many more options. There was something for every palate. Every item I tried was delicious. The service was impeccable. As a wine lover, I especially appreciated the Whitehaven wine tasting and the souvenir glass, which was a wonderful addition to the brunch. To finish; I enjoyed a delicious espresso martini while savoring some pastries. It's on the pricier side, but worth every penny for the quality of food, outstanding service, and beautiful atmosphere. I highly recommend if you are looking for a memorable brunch experience.

But once you get past that, extremely tasty. My wife had the swordfish which she said was perfectly cooked and seasoned All in all a beautiful setting over the water, excellent service and it was a great evening.
