Everything went well! I called from DC for a reservation for 17 people, to a restaurant I picked in Tampa from the reviews. When I opened the door the loudness hit me like a wall! I thought "uh oh" they're going to hate it! But the restaurant put us in a small room with just our group and two birthday parties. MUCH quieter! The menu was extensice...salads, sandwi hes, prime rib,rice bowls, fish...just everything. I picked a prime rib sandwich...delicious! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal. I'd gladly go back again...and again! read more

Riveters in Tampa was a great spot to hang out. The outdoor atmosphere was incredibly comfortable with plenty of TVs and a full bar, making it an easy place to relax, watch a game, and enjoy the vibe. The decor was also very cool and gave the whole place a fun, energetic feel. The waitresses were very attentive and kept everything moving smoothly. We only ordered the chili cheese fries, but they came out super fast and were really good. The fries were fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside, so they were delicious even after the chili cheese toppings ran out on the bottom. Still, the quality of the fries themselves more than made up for it. Overall a great experience. I'd definitely come back to hang out and try more of the menu next time. read more

First time at Riveters Tampa as we were stopping there before a Yankee Spring Training game. Not too busy at the time and it has a cool concept and a fun atmosphere, but the experience was a bit mixed overall. The space itself is well done, with a lively vibe that makes it a good spot to hang out. However, service was inconsistent. It took longer than expected to get attention, and orders weren't always handled smoothly. The food and drinks were decent but not particularly memorable. Server totally messed up the order and when asked for the items that were left off, they never came. Some items were good, others felt average for the price point. It's not a bad place by any means, just not one that stands out in a crowded Tampa scene. I'm sure it's great during Bucs games. With some improvements in service and a bit more consistency in the menu, my review would have been higher.. read more

Sad because we have usually enjoyed Riveters! The hostess was not welcoming. We sat for at least 10-15 minutes and no one came. Finally flagged down a waitress. She hastily took our drink order then said she'd send the server over. Desi shows up and is NOT PLEASANT AT ALL! She obviously was having a bad day! I get it! It's March madness and you all are busy but no reason to treat your customers rudely. I wouldn't have left a tip but my husband did. Food disappointing at best. Just a bad day at Riveters. Hope this isn't the wave of the future at Riveters read more

After leaving the airport late on a Saturday I was searching for restaurants with good yelp reviews which were also open late. I didn't realize until we arrived that this establishment is next to a strip club. Fortunately we were pleasantly surprised. We were told to seat ourselves and we chose a high top near the bar. Service was very quick. I ordered shrimp and Cajun fries and they were delicious! My father ordered the steak sandwich which he enjoyed very much. Our waitress was extremely sweet and very efficient. We accidentally spilled a frozen drink and she immediately replaced it. Prices were fair in my opinion. Again the staff was exceptional. read more

Good place to come chill, eat and chat. Went for a late night snack after losing track of time. Our waitress was so laid back yet attentive, we didn't wait on her for anything and she stayed on top of the refills. I can't fully remember what we ordered but i know we devoured our food! I love this spot because it has inside and outside seat with TVs everywhere. They had just about every game on too so for the sport bar lovers in need if a late night fix come here! The decor is soooo Tampa Florida coded so if you love Tampa Bay that's an added bonus. read more

We stopped in for a bite to eat on our second night in Tampa because this was across the parking lot from our hotel room. Riveters did not disappoint. The place was busy but not crowded, so we were seated right away and the service was excellent. The seating is spaced out enough that you aren't crowded even though the space is a bit compact. The restaurant includes a full bar and multiple TVs to watch the games. We started with the giant pretzel and it certainly was. Moist with an appropriate amount of salt and came with beer cheese for dipping. There was enough for the pretzel with some left over for the fries. My wife also had a margarita while waiting for our food and it was pretty good - good flavor and not too weak or too strong. For my dinner, I ordered the Bomber Burger with fries. The fries were delicious, and arrived hot. The burger was cooked to order with some pink. Juicy and delicious and covered with a fair amount of bacon and onion straws. I am a self-proclaimed burger connoisseur and this one did not disappoint. I wish this restaurant was in my hometown because I would definitely eat here often. Two small things for those with small children. It did not bother my children, but felt like it should be known just in case. Most of the waitresses dressed in somewhat revealing outfits, and the restaurant itself is attached to a strip club that has a cool spaceship on top. read more

We came here after a Bucs game so they were busy but we got seated right away which was unexpected. We started with the hellfire wings and both the teriyaki and house hot were delicious. The wings themselves with just the dry rub were good. They were definitely the best part of the meal and if we came back we would all get their wings as a meal. I ordered the Prime Rib sandwich and Truffle fries. The prime rib sandwich was just ok. For the amount of butter and seasoning on the bun I expected more flavor. The horseradish sauce tasted almost sweet and not as tangy as I expected. The prime rib itself was very thin and done to a crisp on the edges, borderline on too done. The truffle fries were definitely garlic fries, not truffle fries. My husband had the Bomber burger. He said the barbecue sauce tasted like a sweet ketchup. He said it was a decent burger but not something he'd order again. He got the garlic mashers and those were good. Not a bad stop if you're looking for wings and football as they definitely got that right, the rest of the food doesn't compare. read more

We just recently had a delightful meal at Riveters in Tampa, FL! We had never been here before, but upon doing some Googling around and asking friends, Riveters came recommended to us - and for good reason too! We were looking for something relatively light to fill us up for the night, in addition to a place that had loads of options, and luckily Riveters provided! Anytime you hit a restaurant with sandwiches, burgers, salads, fries, and typical American cuisine it's usually alright, but what we really enjoyed was the ambiance of Riveters with all the sports memorabilia and TV's. Definitely a fun and tasty spot to hit! read more

We came in after attending a game at Raymond James stadium. We put our name on the list and went to the bar until a table was available. It didn't take long until we were called. Our waitress Hallie was lovely. We had the poutine first which was delicious highly recommend. We each got burgers and I asked for extra bleu cheese on the side which they forgot but Hallie brought out right away. Hallie was so attentive and friendly and chatted with my friend and I. I would definitely come back. read more

While waiting for family to arrive, we stopped by Riveters near Tampa Airport for lunch. Large lively sports bar with decor inspired by its name. Huge screen TVs line its wall for sports fan. Service quick and waitress took the time to answer our questions. Tried the PEI mussels which were saturated with buttery goodness and tender. Did not care for the chunky pieces of red onions. Fish tacos were delicious with large portions of Mahi Mahi. Glad we stopped by. Worth a try!! read more

Good sports bar, average food, great service! Looking for a place to watch Game 7 of the GSW vs. Rockets, I found this spot next to my hotel. As mentioned, the food was good, nothing to write home about... I ordered wings, the Kram-it Prime Rib Sando, a side salad, and the Salty & Decadent. The Prime Rib sandwich wasn't that good, but I ordered it with the Loaded mash potatoes as a side, which was good. Anyways, food was average... The service though was great! Abby was my server and she had such a positive attitude and very attentive. She was fun to banter with and made sure I was good. She gets an A+! The rest of the service team were exceptional as well. I'd go back just to hang out... read more

Delicious food and the waitress was super sweet and knowledge on the menu. She recommended we try the prime rib sliders because we weren't looking to eat a lot. Just share an appetizer. The food came out fast and the vibe of the place was very groovy and hospital. The food was wonderful. Super tasty and very satisfying. The sliders came out with a tangy horseradish-y white sauce and a very very muted soy saucey dip. The edamame was so good too with a buttery and honey sauce over them. This was a great spot for a quick but good quality bite. read more

Catch of the day + fries + broccoli with cheddar cheese and it was definitely bar food but worth it! Especially if you're hungry 10/10! I had a local IPA 2 and it washed everything down perfectly... the bartenders were friendly! This is also right next a strip club so if that's your vibe you're welcome haha read more

Food was good - wings, chips with beer cheese, brisket tacos and shrimp. Margaritas were really tasty and the prices are very fair. Wait staff was attentive and friendly and asked for feedback. We were there early evening - looks like the place gets pretty lively later on. If you are with your kids, knowing the location is neighboring some strip clubs in advance would be helpful.. We would eat and drink there again, however. read more

Sports Bar Atmosphere, Excellent Food, Excellent Service I ordered the Mac Dill Grilled Cheese, they used salted butter and everything bagel seasoning so it made it a little salty but we were advised they will modify anything, so next time I will be modifying, my husband ordered the burger medium rare, it came out medium rare, so juicy and full of flavor... We are not usually a fan of coated fries, you know the skinny nothing there fries, these were were big fat fries with a crispy outside and a fluffy potato inside, yum yum yum... and the kicker, gotta try the elderberry cider, sourced from Keel and Curley Winery, so good, my new favorite... We will be returning read more

Such a cool spot for pregaming a Bucs or Rays game. We got some really good burgers there and a wide beer selection too. The menu is huge and feels like everything will be slightly above average. The highlight is the atmosphere for sure, it was packed and lively! read more

Rivers is a good sports bar with mini TVs. Don't let it intimidate you because it's next to Odyssey 2001 and the spaceship! Burgers and chicken sandwiches are good. I've had the wings before and they are tasty! The season fries, though or something different and unique. Have a pretty decent size bar, and an inside and outside section. This place is a nice alternative to the ale house or the brick house. It definitely way better than the crappy Kers Wng House that should be closed! read more

Riveters Tampa - Vibe check passed. - New American Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Looking for a place to eat our first night in Tampa it was late & not much to choose from where we were staying...if I had seen Chipotle we would have gone there & had a better meal...The meal there was mediocre at best...I had prime rib tacos & my husband buffalo chicken tacos... When my husband asked the waitress what they had for hard cider she was rude as if he was asking for something illegal.... No need to go there again when we come back in March or ever for that matter...bet the strip club next door would have been a better meal. read more

My husband and I came here for dinner one night to watch a game and have some drinks. We had great service from the start. The restaurant is spacious with plenty of inside and outside seating. There are lots of TVs to watch sports. My husband thought the burger was average. I had a veggie burger topped with mushrooms and enjoyed it. I loved the beer cheese on the broccoli. If we come back, I'll have the beer cheese with everything. Drinks were good and the service was stellar. read more

Large, unassuming bar with so many tvs inside and in the huge outdoor area that keeps going and going. Turns out, this is the hangout for local Minnesota sports team fans.

We were looking for a spot to grab some food prior to a concert at Raymond James, and this hit the spot! Despite the place getting full of people before the concert, we were able to quickly be seated outside. I got a refreshing cucumber gin drink, and my boyfriend enjoyed some beer options! We ordered the truffle fries and the BBQ chicken sliders from the appetizer menu, and they were both awesome! The sliders were the perfect app and had great flavor - the onion straws were a great touch. The truffle fries were great too and exactly what you want out of a classic truffle fry. My boyfriend also got the prime rib sandwich, which he said was very good as well! Good value here and a perfect casual summer spot in Tampa. read more
