    The house
    Jerry H.

    The Tampa turnup is real. We are on a 2 day road trip destination clearwater. Wifey was hangry so we decided to go to Himes Breakfast House on Himes st. Angel, our waitress was a delight from start to finish. I ordered corn beef hash which was not on the menu at all. I went with the fried grouper. It was hit and flaky. I wanted French fries but took the home fries instead. Also, I had one of my favs, an English muffin w/ butter and Jelly. Wifey had a staple meal includes eggs, cheese grits and bacon. We were treated like Tampa royalty and it was only breakfast. Himes will always be our breakfast spot when we are in Tampa. I'm glad they have several locations to boot!

    Visited this spot with some friends for brunch. They have a great selection of options and it's very family style. Melissa was our server and she was nice and attentive. The space is fairly spacious and the wait wasn't too long at all.

    Jessie's loaded grits, crunch cakes, biscuit

    Himes Breakfast House is a solid breakfast spot overall. The service was mom n pop nice. My food came out fast and everything. I ordered Jessie's famous loaded grits and that was amazinggg. The biscuit was mad soft and easily one of the highlights of the meal. The only downside for me were the pancakes. They were very doughy, almost like they weren't cooked all the way through. I tried one piece but couldn't finish them. That said, everything else I had was enjoyable. I'd definitely come back and just skip the pancakes next time.

    Smart storage for condiments allows ample access at small table.

    In town for a soccer tournament. The place is busy, but I was seated within five minutes of arriving. Waitstaff are polite and attentive. Ordered Jessi's Grits. They were creamy and perfectly seasoned. Added on bacon, which is thick cut with a little sweetness. Coffees was good. While the food was a little slow to come out, it was not excessively so, and everything tasted freshly made. I would recommend and come back.

    First time there, Saturday after Thanksgiving. Was busy but they had more than enough staff to handle the crowd. The egg sandwich was hot, so important, and the marble rye bread was substantial. Home fries seasoned well. My husband had a breakfast bowl with sausage gravy. Again they did it right. Just the right amount of sausage gravy and hot. Both. Our waitress was on spot! Stopped by our table a few times to check on us. And a manager also stopped to see if we were happy with the meal. Kudos to all at Himes.

    My chicken sandwich was great! The flavor of the sauce with the pickles plus everything else has me wanting more !

    Stopped in for breakfast on a Tuesday morning. Was greeted by the manager Kyle. Seated right away. Our server was Valerie. She was a pleasant young lady and very efficient. Menu has most of the typical breakfast and lunch favorites. In addition they offer several unique items and different takes on popular dishes. You can have eggs Benedict's with pork belly, or over a biscuit instead of an english muffin, or southern fried catfish & eggs. Restaurant is brand new location for this chain. Nice and bright interior. Outside covered seating. Plenty of parking out front.

    I want to start off by sharing that this gem opened up just 4 days ago and for sure will be come a favorite in the area! It's breakfast food done well-- really well and at a reasonable price. We were seated immediately and Maya took our drink orders, we started off with a mug of coffee and a grapefruit juice! I haven't had grapefruit juice in awhile and it was really good. In the very near future they'll offer mimosas which will be great. Several things on the menu caught our attention- after having a delicious pancake, I'm certain the chicken and waffles will be my next selection here. We decided on the sogs and nogs omelette-- made with 4 eggs with loaded grits and a pancake stack to share! Everything tasted soo good. I loved the hollandaise sauce on the eggs! Pancakes are perfect in my book when they have the crispy edges and these delivered! I loved the taste as well, not super sweet but good on their own with just the butter. I tried the specialty espresso flavored syrup made in house as well as the butter rum flavored syrup. While both were good and different, I think I still prefer the original maple syrup. I would be doing you a disservice if I don't shout out the loaded grits! Sooo creamy! Service was great, the decor is clean and welcoming and even the patrons all seemed to wave and smile at each other, which is nice! I plan on returning soon.

    Himes Breakfast House recently opened off Bloomingdale Avenue in Riverview. It is located in Winthrop Shopping Center. When we entered we were greeted by Kyle and immediately seated. The restaurant was very busy for a Tuesday morning. There are tables and booths and there is plenty of seating. The tables can all be pushed together to accommodate large groups as well. This is a big plus! I found the restaurant to be spotless and very bright & cheerful. When we were seated a very sweet server Valerie approached our table. We proceeded to look over the menu and ordered. I ordered the basic benny, which is described on the menu as the following: Two poached eggs over thick cut bacon & an english muffin topped with our house made hollandaise and your choice of home fries or grits. Breakfast was enjoyed by both my husband and I. The one thing I will add is the coffee was HOT which we very much enjoyed. I find at many breakfast joints the coffee is never hot, it's usually lukewarm at best. So we really appreciated that. We will definitely be returning in the future to try other items off the menu. This restaurant also offers outside seating. We really hope this restaurant succeeds, it's a great addition to the Winthrop Shopping Center! I highly recommend you give them a try. I think you will be happy you did!

    Catfish & grits
    Lolita D.

    I've been to every Himes Breakfast location & all of them are incredible. Quality & taste at every location has been the same. I always get the catfish and grits with a pancake on the side and an Arnold Palmer. I really want to try other things but the catfish has me in a chokehold . Himes has thee best pancakes - I'm not even a big pancake person but they're always fully and delicious. Every server I've had is always nice and super attentive. One of thee best breakfast food chains I've experienced. I will always be a fan.

    We stopped by here for breakfast when we were on the east side of Tampa. It's located at the front of a large shopping area with plenty of free parking to be found. Genesis was our server, and she was incredibly friendly, fast, and efficient. The food is southern inspired. I had a simple egg breakfast with grits and bacon. It was delicious! Their grits are amazing! The coffee is tasty, and they have the good Coffeemate creamers, like hazelnut and Irish cream. You must try their espresso infused maple syrup. It's soooo good!

    Super cute area, great staff and extensive menu. Out service was fast and efficient even on a Sunday at peak time (11am). Food was also delicious and pretty great prices as well. I was extremely impressed that my food came out hot, which is hard for breakfast foods.

    Brunch Celebration for my daughter's 23rd Birthday!! It was our first time at Himes and I was looking forward to this. I have had Himes on my list for awhile. So glad I was able to go. Service was really nice. Our server was attentive and very appreciative. We all had something different. My daughter had a Blueberry French Toast with a side of bacon and grits. She loved it all. My sister had the Blueberry Pancakes with bacon. She loved them. I had a BYO Omelette with spinach, ham and cheese. Home fries and wheat toast. The omelette is huge. It was all delicious. Their homefries are tasty. I liked the seasoning. My husband and niece had regular French toast. They enjoyed them as well. We also had a glass of Mimosa. Yum!! A toast to the birthday girl. I will definitely return to Himes. Will try the other locations as well. And I highly recommend this business if you are looking for a good breakfast and lunch with great options.

    Food 5/5 Service 5/5…read moreAmbiance 5/5 This is my mom and I's go to spot when I make it into town. Their chips, salsa and guacamole is fresh and delicious and we love their bowls! Both of us got the hot & crunchy with the ahi tuna. So yum!! Our waitress was kind and attentive and I love the live plants they showcase around the seating area. We of course will be back! :)

    At a shopping center in Riverview is Cali. It is very modern looking inside with high top tables…read moreoutside. It has a nice overhang that keeps you cool during the hot weather. The service is amazing. The staff was attentive and helpful. I wish the food was better. I was in the mood for a salad. The first disappointment was that they only gave 3 choices. I am on a gluten free diet and didn't have a problem with that. I did have a problem with the fact that 2 out of 3 salads had cheese in it and is not for someone who adheres to a dairy free diet. Yes, I could have asked if the cheese could be left out. But these salads had multiple kinds of cheese. I never wanted to be that person who asks to leave out half of the ingredients because of dietary restrictions. I would have had to do that. Maybe the answer is the choice to have a custom salad for people like me. The second disappointment was that the salads had a price without any protein. When you added one of the proteins, the salad became very expensive. This was a huge turnoff. The last disappointment was the ice tea. Although there were 3 choices, two of them had ingredients to which I am allergic. The third choice had caffeine. There was really no choice other than to drink water. I chose the restaurant because it was midway between us and friends. I looked at ratings and the number of stars when I travel out of town. This was not really what I expected.

    This review is long overdue! Bolay is such a blessing for anyone who avoids gluten and/or dairy --…read moreand it's wonderful for anyone trying to eat clean on the go. The bowls are reasonably priced and packed with flavor. My go-to is the regular Build-Your-Own Bowl. I choose sweet potato noodles paired with almond kale salad as my base, Brussels sprouts or sweet potatoes for veggies, and tofu (don't worry -- they have plenty of meat options!) for protein, topped with tomatoes, almonds, and pickled onions. It's so delicious and loaded with nutrients to keep me going. Not only is it healthy and satisfying, but the regular bowl is under $12! The staff is also generous with portions, making it an outstanding value. I can't recommend this place enough. I go regularly, and the food and service are consistently excellent. Thank you, Bolay!

    Ordered pick up here for the 1st time tonight, Sunday 1/18/26 using their website. Super easy…read more Chose ASAP pick up option and the build your own bowl (large) was ready in 6 min from ordering. Crazy fast. Just before getting the bowls home the car started to smell like the food and it was yummy. Opened the two bowls at home and they were chock-full of all the fresh ingredients we picked to the brim. Awesome. Didn't even need the two sauces they let you pick cuz the food was so fresh and flavorful. Every forkful had it's own unique blend of tastes and they were all great together. The chipotle sauce was tasty and light. The ginger tumeric had a great taste but was made with a mayo base I think and was just too thick/heavy. If they thinned it out a bit it would be perfect. This minor shortcoming was not enough to earn less than 5 stars. Enough food for 2 more meals, all for $10-15. Will Definitely be eating here again soon and frequently. Fresh, light, flavorful, clean. Done.
