Lemon Pepper wings
Antonia W.

I got the wings... they were delicious. I got lemon pepper and sweet chili for my flavors. The wings were hot and fried hard. Aside from the flavor, the price was right. I got 20 wings for $28. I shared the wings with my table. Because I went here for a Day Party, there were no waitresses on the patio. Service was on the inside with the bartenders. However, the bartenders were efficient, and quick. My overall experience was good. I'll definitely go back.

Cajun shrimp are awesome! On the spicy side so be warned

I've been wanting to check this place out since Red Star Rock Bar closed in Seminole Heights. It definitely has the same laid back vibes in a much bigger setting. Here's why it's worth a visit: - Interesting location behind the Harley Dealership. It's next to a nice pond and they have a great outdoor space with plenty of seating - Large inside area with lots of tables and bar seating - Room for big parties - Tons of TVs - Live music and good music playing all other times - Simple food menu but everything was good - Strong drinks - Friendly staff - Great prices - Parking is easy - Free Wi-Fi

We were here for the first time last month for a Blues Festival and I really enjoyed it, so I was happy to come back when I learned that the first Tuesday of every month is Blues night. Music was supposed to start at 6 so we arrived at 5:10 so we could have some drinks and food before the music started. There was only one other table of 6 when we arrived. The four of us ordered drinks and each couple ordered an appetizer. The drinks arrived quickly since the bar is right outside. We had ordered 6 wings and it took 25 minutes. Our friends ordered a shrimp appetizer and it came out 10 minutes after ours. Good grief! The wings were actually very good. I wanted a Philly Cheesesteak, and asked for no mushrooms, but they couldn't accommodate that. ‍. I settled on a Cowboy Burger which came with fries. 6 pm came and went and still no music and still no food. Finally, at 6:35 the music started and my burger came out, but nobody else's food. I asked the server and she said it would be out shortly. 10 minutes later the other 3 meals came out. My burger was dry and salty, and served on a stale bun. The fries were good. The music was not blues, but just a variety of songs. We only lasted until 7:30 pm. None of the tables had umbrellas on them like last month, so it was roasting hot. Our server was non existent practically the entire time, the music wasn't blues, and there was so much cigarette smoke, none of us were happy. I am so bummed as I really like the venue, but it's doubtful I will return,

My wife and I attended the recent Blues Festival at the Red Star and since I did not eat here, my review is somewhat limited. First, I want to tell you how awful the place is and what a horrible experience I had! I want to say this because I would prefer that this gem of a place is kept as secret as possible. The truth is that I absolutely love Red Star. The setting is great! It is very rustic and despite the proximity to Rt 60, it has a country feel to it. There is a wooden plank patio attached to the bar/restaurant that has a covered stage for live entertainment and a small bar that seats about 10. The patio can accommodate about 30 four tops. I did not go inside the restaurant, but did look inside briefly and it looked like a fun space. The festival was very well run and all of the staff were very helpful and friendly. I will definitely return to enjoy the entertainment and have dinner!

Just had one of their cheese burgers for lunch. It was delicious! Cooked just as ordered and juicy, as a burger should be! I'm sure you'll find the food as enjoyable as the ambience of this hidden gem! Adding to this review as they have changed their menu recently (6/21/22) Marissa our waitress and bartender was friendly and did a great job meeting our needs. The chips were freshly made and delicious but the salsa was yuck! Too much money at $6 for what it was. We also ordered the Cajun dry rubbed wings, they were just the right spicy, hot and fresh! A must try!

Chicken wrap with fries
Tasha C.

I decided to try here for lunch and got takeout. I ordered the chicken wrap and added bacon. The food comes with really thick crinkle fries. The restaurant seems to primarily be a bar and the meal I ordered was pretty good. The chicken wrap was huge and delicious . The fries were not crispy due to being so thick. The food was the perfect temperature and reasonably priced for the portion.

2 pc fish & 6 shrimp w/fries....fresh...hot & delicious!
Tina L.

Good food but they had to adjust the check because they added a extra order. Came here to watch the fight sat & out of 9 tv's only 1 was working correctly smdh.

After 4 visits here in 2 weeks, trying to help keep alive a live music presence in the Tampa Bay area, I will sadly no longer patronize this establishment. To make a long story short, previously asking the owner Paul what the band drinks and the cost, I was told $20, $5 a shot. My tab was $28, $7 a shot, and when I asked him and discussed it, I got some lame mish mosh, and he reluctantly reduced it, but not to $5 a shot. I don't mind paying the price asked for anything agreed upon, but I really don't like paying anyone more than a quoted price. Too bad, so sad.

The Mach E4 @ the watering hole while I get some chow @redstarlive ~ hey we both gotta eat!
Don W.

I frequent this location in order to get a charge on my battery electric vehicle. While doing so I grab some Lunch from @redstarlive and they have yet to disappoint. Their support of Armed Service Members as well as retired Veterans is greatly appreciated ~ have a rock'n Harley day!

Huge bourbon selection
Blake T.

Great food and very friendly service. They carry my favorite bourbon too!! We will be back this weekend for the live music too!

Ordered patty melt stating well well well done and when received told patty melts only come cooked medium. Duh!

Went with a large group of friends after Sunday service, about 13. Although our call-ahead seating…read more"reservation" seemed to have been lost, they accommodated quickly enough to give us two huge booths. The ambiance inside is typical sports bar, so did not disappoint. The hostess stand and manager as well as our waitress were all very friendly and accommodating with such a large group. That makes a huge difference for customer satisfaction! Everyone was happy with their lunch choices, from burgers to salmon everything came out good or great. That can be a difficult thing to do, making sure everyone was happy about their entree. I know my hubby and I were! Hunny said the spicy burger didn't have much heat, but we do find that to be the case with spicy burgers a lot. Understandable I suppose. Hubby's burger and my Monte Cristo were of a healthy portion, and our sides of fries and tots were so good as well. Our happy answer to the magic question of if we would return, is an absolute yes! Upbeat atmosphere, friendly and accurate service along with good food, we were pretty content! Looking forward to returning to try more entrees and drinks, and get more of those perfectly crispy tots!

I'm always looking for a deal and noticed they had 2 meals with an appetizer for $40. We ordered salmon with rice medley and broccoli. My boyfriend had ribeye ($5 up charge) with mashed potatoes and broccoli. We ordered the onion rings as an appetizer. Also saw that they had $5 drinks and opted for an All American. I received my drink within minutes and our appetizer (onion rings ) arrived hot with a very tasty sauce. Our food arrived promptly. My salmon well seasoned, rice and broccoli very well cooked. My boyfriend's ribeye was cooked medium well very well seasoned, reminded of Sizzler's immediately when I took a bite. Our server was very attentive. Long story short, ended up at a very good restaurant with descent prices and very good tasting food. I would highly recommend if in the Brandon area

Twin Peaks Brandon absolutely crushed it during Sick Week 2026!…read more Huge shoutout to Twin Peaks for being the go-to mid-Sick Week stop. After long days of racing and wrenching, this was the perfect place to pull in with the race car, cool off, and recharge. Ice-cold beers, great food, nonstop TVs, and an awesome atmosphere made it a no-brainer stop. Special thanks to Elysia, who was a fantastic server and took great care of us while we were there--friendly, fast, and on point even with the Sick Week crowd rolling through. The whole team embraced the event and made everyone feel welcome. Sick Week 2026 wouldn't have been the same without Twin Peaks Brandon. We'll absolutely be back next year!

I was utterly upset and disgusted with how u was treated at the Brandon,FL location. From the time…read moreI walked in to get my (7:33pm) order as that was the time it said it would be ready. Which I ended up having to wait 10mins as it was not ready. I think asked the host for a drink due to my inconvenience and having to wait (which I feel was not a big ask) she responded and said she can't. So I asked for a manager whom I spoke with Marcel and MICHAEL the on duty managers who then said my food just came up but this regarded the drink that I asked for. As a person in customer service especially corporate this was very unprofessional and their was not one once of empathy towards me and not to mention the attitude the girl had towards me from the time I walked to the host stand. So I got my food finally 17 minutes later and they forgot my jalapeño that came with my order haven't waited so long you would of thought they would had double checked the order before brining it to me. Not the case. So I the get all the way home ready to eat my food to see that all three of my tacos were extremely brunt at this point I am furious having drove all the way back home and to now have to drive and waste unnecessary gas that I should not have had to is beyond ridiculous. I get there speak with both of the guys and tell them this is unbelievable and unacceptable and I clearly wanted a refund. From start to finish this experience got worse and worse. I told MICHAEL the issue and both of the had no regards to how unhappy I was have not type of empathy and made me feel even worse as a customer. I really feel like the kitchen people were trying to be funny with my order. Even with me face to face and expressing to them both the lack of empathy they had towards me and my inconvenience they still gave none. So he went processed the refund and then wants to come back and give me the receipt and a free chips and salsa like the fact that asked for a measly drink from hump that thy could not even accommodate me is diabolical and to think after how I was treated that I would even want to support this business absolutely not. I literally was just telling my cousin how good they were and not I and forced to banned them completely due to the lack of customer service. As a major corporation you would think they would make things right for the customer so that it would not escalate to this measure but sadly this is the route I have to go to. In order to be seen and heard. This company handled this situation so distasteful. The restaurant literally flipped the issue so they made themselves look as if they did nothing wrong. As a company there was no accountability from upper management on how they restaurant made me feel they did nothing to show any type of empathy and accused me of things that I did not do this is beyond baffling I expected way more from a big named company like themselves. I respectfully will never go to this location. I do feel like they played victim, and they basically made me feel like my concerns were not heard and they had done no wrong when in fact there really was. Please be aware if you choose to spend your money here at this location. I highly recommend not going to this location awful customer service and management! I posted the conversation to show how the restaurant location completely made up lies and deception to make them look like they did no wrong and that I was the "aggressor" when in fact I was not and they choose to treat me racially per the hostess in the front and so management can think that they did no wrong which is crazy for a company.

Yard House is one of my favorite sports bar of all time. We live in downtown Tampa so it's just a…read morequick walking distance there & home. Not only the drinks are phenomenal, but the food is absolutely amazing. The hubs really likes the brussels sprouts here. I think they are too wet. I wouldn't order them myself. I normally like them crispy on the outside and moist in the middle and not wet. It was a weird sauce almost like Cajun, which is unusual for brussels sprouts. I still think Yeoman's has the best Brussels sprouts in the area. The onion rings here are the absolute best. The breading is flat and smooth, and the onions are thick. Places that make the crispy bumpy batter usually scratch my throat being so crispy however, the onion rings here are flat and smooth, and that doesn't happen. I like to order it with a side of beer cheese dipping sauce; it is absolutely incredible. I definitely recommend ordering a side of beer cheese dipping sauce. The drinks here are so strong. I was only able to get one since it was so strong. They are just too strong for me but very delicious. The hubs likes all of the drinks here he's tried them all. I ordered the espresso reposado martini, and I explained it to the server that I didn't want it sweet and he had a smarta$$ remark. I never saw him again after that drink hopefully, I never get that server again. He was ridiculous. The remainder of the service is absolutely incredible. Everyone is super sweet that we ordered food & rest of our drinks from. They must really enjoy their job. They're just a lovely bunch there. Know the menu extensively well and can recommend anything that you're craving for. Except for the first guy that we ordered our drinks from I would avoid that person. He was weird.

Even the pickiest beer drinker can find something here. All the food here is solid. This time I decided to get a custom made pizza. Despite being pre-game busy, my server was happy to oblige. Ordered a sausage, mushroom, and onion pizza. It was very good. Not just, "good for any restaurant", but "good as a high end pizzeria" good. Be prepared if you come during a pre-game. Lots of activity, lots of people, longer wait times. So come early, or after the game and enjoy pizza and your favorite beer! On a side note, I've heard a rumor that a Yard House is coming to Wesley Chapel in the future. Can't wait.
