A Hidden Gem in Florida - The Grill at Morris Bridge!…read more
While visiting some friends in Florida, they took me to a great little spot called The Grill at Morris Bridge, and I have to say, this place did not disappoint!
It's a family-owned restaurant that's been around for about five years, and they've put together one heck of a menu with something for just about everyone.
They offer a great selection of seafood, fresh fish, steaks, pasta dishes, homemade soups, salads, and pizzas. And since the owners have roots in Massachusetts, you'll notice a little New England influence throughout the menu.
You'll find favorites like Rhode Island Calamari, New England Clam Chowder, and the Morris Bridge Salad, along with some interesting pizza names that anyone familiar with Massachusetts will recognize, like Route 140, Route 24, and The New Bedford!
Being from Massachusetts myself, I thought that was a pretty cool touch!
And let me tell you, everything on that menu sounded so good that it was hard to decide what to order. But the food I ended up getting was absolutely delicious and definitely worth coming back for!
The restaurant itself has a great atmosphere, with plenty of seating, ample parking, and a really nice bar area.
One thing that really caught my attention was their house-made barrel-aged cocktail mixes, featuring bourbon, whiskey, and tequila. They actually have their own little barrels behind the bar, which is a pretty unique touch!
It's always nice finding a family-owned restaurant that serves great food, has a welcoming atmosphere, and offers something a little different from the usual chain restaurants.
My overall impression? Great food, a great atmosphere, and definitely a place I'd visit again!
So, whether you're a local or just visiting the Tampa area, I highly recommend checking out The Grill at Morris Bridge.
It's definitely worth the drive, and you won't be disappointed!
