Lots of bottom of the bag chips
Courtney S.

LBC had great food. I got the burger that had blue cheese and substitute chx at no extra charge. Chips and coleslaw are standard sides. Substitute fries or something else is $2 upgrade. So I sucked it up and got fries which was a huge helping; however half of them looked like they were broken pieces from the bottom of the bag. But my burger was big, juicy and delicious. The waitress was super helpful. Which came in handy because the drinks we kept trying to order from the menu where not available when she went to get it. She got some steps in with our table. Drinks were cold and good. And prices were amazing. Best I've seen in a long time without happy hour. The place is fun for the whole family. Despite being in a strip mall, it has outdoor seating and games for kids and adults. Also live bands. Fun place for a night out.

The cider I decided on because all the other selections were not available.
Olivia B.

The menu at this restaurant is fantastic. It's very diverse, has a lot of variety. And the burgers are definitely The Star here. I ended up having a toasted turkey apple crossaint sandwich which was yummy. The seating outside is perfect for friends and those who want to bring their family members. Because it has a great place for the kids to play. The prices were decent and you definitely get a lot of food. I was very surprised to really like the chips that came with my meal. I actually ate the entire side of chips before I finished my sandwich! The beer and cider menu is very extensive and it was one of the draws that brought me to this location. However, they really need to update their menu because several of the items that I and my dinner mate wanted were not available and the waitress only knew this after she had to go back a nd forth to let us know what we wanted wasn't there! That's not cool, but the waitress was great. I do plan ongoing back and I will bring my family I just don't want to get too attached to the beer drink menu.

Some of the many taps side LBC
William H.

With the closure of our unmatched beer Mecca for the area - Palm Harbor House of Beers - a sad sad turn of events... Local Brewing Company, across & up I-19, is now the reigning champ for beer selection in the area with over 50 taps of draft beers. Amazing range of beers to satisfy any beer drinker or aficionado - so many local breweries across TampaBay are represented that you can travel the region with a beer glass! Only thing is the beer selection was very well chosen/curated /varied up front that they do minimal rotation across the selection which HoB used to do so expertly and challenged us with esoteric or unusual beers to try every time we came in. But be that as it may, the draft beer selection is stellar at LBC. LBC also has great sports bar, lots of screens across ample size space and great pub food! Think burgers, flatbreads, hot dogs, sandwiches, salads and great daily specials. I had the fish & chips which was perfectly cooked with crunchy batter and hot steaming fish inside -and look at the portions! All in all a great space with lots of music and community events with good bartenders to build a very welcoming environment

What's With the Cocktail Napkins?

I'm titling this review "What's With the Cocktail Napkins?" Read on: I have to echo some other reviews stating the place was understaffed. We experienced the same thing. Apparently, they hadn't considered that a rare warm January night would bring out diners interested in outside seating. Still, other than some long delays, that didn't negatively impact our experience. In the end, our server, Tina, hustled her rear end off, earning her a 100% tip. She deserved it not just for us, but for the other tables she was juggling. I hope those other tables followed suit. As for the food, there was a lot of it. Wife got a turkey club sandwich, which fed her for two nights. I got the 1992 Lightning Burger. TIP: Order this cut in half. The flavor bomb is in the middle of the burger, so if you order it whole, it may take a few bites to hit the flavor you're expecting. I'll do this next time. Wings were typical, fries were excellent. Plenty of leftovers. The question we and many other tables had: Why are the cocktail napkins stamped with the Mariott logo? Nobody had an answer for that. Place isn't owned by Marriott and there's not a Marriott hotel or sister branded hotel within miles. Fun little diversion, I guess. Quick footnote: For a place called Local Brewing Company, they didn't have many local beers available. They were out of just about everything on tap. That might be a supply-side thing, being just after the holidays. If you get Tina as a server, be sure to ask about her podcast.

Buffalo chicken sandwich with fries
Danielle C.

I use to come here YEARS ago when I lived near Clearwater and just so happened to recently be on this side of town Monday night! Looks like the place could use a bit of a remodel, looking old now. The food was still amazing :) the raspberry lemonade cocktail was NOT good! Service was okay.. they had bingo going on which was fun. Very spacious, huge inside & outside patio! Probably great for sporting events

Buffalo Cauliflower Tacos
Jennifer L.

This spot has plenty of seating and a nice variety on the menu. The food was decent, not bad, but nothing that really stood out. What did shine was the service, our waitress was absolutely phenomenal and made the whole experience much better.

Huge chicken nachos
Mike F.

We stopped in to watch some college football on Saturday. These guys have a lot of TVs; it's a great place to watch games. We asked and they do have the NFL package too. They have a great beer list which features many locals as well as most of the standards. I ordered the chicken nachos to nosh on during the game. It was huge but a little goupy with a lot of cheese and sour cream. The chicken tasted like it was braised in a tomato sauce then shredded. It was good but I would have preferred it to be grilled and cubed. It was difficult to eat with your hands but it tasted good. My wife ordered a burger which was OK and cooked a little past the medium she ordered. Our server Alana did a great job making sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to watch games and try other menu items.

Huge Chicago Dog! They forgot the celery salt, but it was still good. The sausage was very good and pickles were like homemade dills.

This place is absolutely adorable…read more I think this street is the perfect place to hit up a couple restaurants for a progressive dinner. A lot of the restaurants are closed for lunch though, which is how we ended up here. It's a lot larger than it looks. There's a really cute covered outdoors area in the back with a stage for performances. There were only a few diners there for lunch on a Friday so it was easy to grab a spot. I got a skinny strawberry margarita, it made me happy to see a skinny version of a flavored margarita on the menu. It has a sugar rim and was delicious. It's on the sweet side and I'd definitely get it again. I requested it without soda water. For my main I got the salmon bowl. I wouldn't get this again, but it's because the base is mainly fried wontons. I thought it would be a scattering of fried wontons but nope, it was a hefty portion. I didn't eat most of the fried wontons because I'm trying to be healthy. It's a delicious dish, just not for me. Service was great, but we were an easy table because we were chatting the entire time. I enjoyed our meal here, so we will definitely be back!

BE CAREFUL NOT DOUBLE TIP! 20% Automatically for Crappy service!…read more This place used to be great but has fallen off the map. They have cut some many corner then what it used to be. The buffalo chicken sandwich barely comes with any sauce and the blu cheese dressing is mayonnaise with some blu cheese in it. The waiters and staff are less than par because they have put an automatic 20% tip so why work hard. Waited 30 minutes to order, took 28 minutes to get food and 25 minutes for a check with no one to check on us and the food. They spend most of the time on their phones. CINDA should not be running this place. She has no management skills as she screens across the bar to the sushi chef like a dried out scagg!

Tarpon turtle, off tarpon ave, on the wast end of lake tarpon…read more Yes Ive had a big weekend. Eating in tomorrow. I had written this place off after a change of ownership left it with subpar food and indifferent service. My wife kept going back and insisted things had turned around. She was right. I hate when that happens. Mid-Saturday afternoon, good crowd, zero wait. Drinks first -- Tito's Moscow Mule for me, Angry Orchard for her. Both spot on. I ordered the blackened shrimp tacos: corn tortillas, slaw, slightly spicy aioli, topped with thin pickled red onions. Very, very good -- and I don't hand out two "verys" lightly. The Mrs. had the bang bang shrimp flatbread, which was tasty enough that she only shared one bite. Our server Mia was fantastic -- attentive without hovering, asked all the right questions, kept things moving perfectly. The ambiance is still the star. Right on Lake Tarpon with their own marina -- come by boat if you can. Just don't swim. About 16 miles of gator-infested shoreline out there, so admire the view from dry land. There's a 3% credit card surcharge, which I have opinions about, but it happens to match my cash back rate so the universe balanced out. One hard-earned tip: do NOT sit outside near sunset. We made that mistake once and were swarmed by mosquitoes the second the sun went down -- full aerial assault, no survivors. The view through a window is just as nice, and you'll keep all your blood. Glad they turned it around. We'll be back.

Food: For the most part, the food was bland and very much overpriced. The Alfredo was very watery,…read moreshrimp was good but its shrimp. Kids Mac n Cheese is a tiny bowl of Kraft Mac n Cheese for $12. The Fish n Chips, the fish was undercooked and the batter was still gooey. Atmosphere: The restaurant itself apart from the food is pretty great, outside you overlook the Tarpon Lake, they've great tables, spacing is great, outside tables have umbrellas. Very good atmosphere, though there is restaurant trash in the lake. Service: The service was decent, nothing special. I love the atmosphere, but price for quality isn't here. Food is not worth the price tag in the slightest. I came to this conclusion based on taste, and portions. As Such I do not recommend unless you plan on consuming enough alcohol to forget the taste and price of the food and just enjoy the view, and ambiance of the restaurant itself.

Our party of three were seated right away and brought menus. We scoured the menu and were brought drinks. My daughter chose the Black and Blue Bacon Burger, my daughter's beau selected the Bacon and Cheddar Burger, and I wanted to try the Womelette with Spinach and Feta. We chatted for a while and looked around the visually stunning room. There was a plush pony playing the piano, multiple unicorns, a psychedelic deer head, rainbows, and posters all around. It was walking into a My Little Pony dream. This also was the theme outside and even on their "company car." Our food came and the two were very impressed with the burgers. They were both tasty and did not spare the amount of Bacon! My first attempt at a Waffle/Omelet, the Womelette, was disappointing. I envisioned two halves (or whole) waffles, made from eggs alone, with the Feta and Spinach inside. Instead, they were placed on top of the waffle. This made for a very dry and disappointing taste. I'm glad I did try it. Luckily the two shared a couple bites of their burgers. A pleasant atmosphere, almost circus-like, and definitely eye catching. Service was great and I think it would be a great place to bring our grandkids.
