I wish I would have taken some photos of our food. The presentation on the dishes was outstanding! Even more outstanding was how absolutely amazing the food tasted! I'll be honest- this is my first ever review of an establishment but the food and service was so top notch I felt compelled to come on here and post something. When we walked in at dinner time and it was empty, I was skeptical. However, I quickly changed my mind. The service, cleanliness, prices and quality of the food is honestly unmatched locally. The Birria Pesto Four Cheese Gnocchi and the Pan Seared Salmon were to die for! This place is really a hidden gem and I will absolutely be back! If you live locally or are visiting the area you MUST check them out!! read more

We stopped by because of their good reviews on Yelp. It didn't disappoint us. We ordered the Country Fried Steak and Eggs (softly scrambled) and the Bacon Cheese Burger (medium). Instead of fries with the burger, we opted for their French Onion Soup and it was awesome! The burger was just like a burger that you'd cook in the backyard...great! The Country Fried Steak was pretty standard but tasty, too. Overall, we had a good meal. The service was speedy, attentive and friendly (thanks, Brooke!) The ambiance was as you would expect from a diner. It was clean and tidy. read more

I'm so tempted to give Rizo's 5 stars... went back again tonight and we had another really enjoyable meal. Fresh grilled vegetables and smashed potatoes with BACON and cheese made the meal special. Everything was delicious including my meatloaf. Wonderful service and great prices make this a must try if you're in the area. Oh, unlike most diner like places in Pinelas County that close by 2:00 they are open to 9:00 pm on weekdays! read more

I've dined at Rizo's Cuisine for dinner twice before this visit and was looking forward to trying them for breakfast for a change. I ordered their steak & eggs. Requested it to be cooked medium. Was very disappointed in the steak as it was more like a tough pork chop consistency, also had a lot of fat & grizzle as well. I reached out to the owners wife while paying the bill and received an apology, but was a learning experience as the steak wasn't worth paying for. read more

SOLID 5 STARS! At first glance, Rizo's Cuisine is just a diner that is a lot cleaner than most. Don't judge a book by its cover! The Cuisine in the name is well deserved. Rizo's offers a comprehensive 5 page breakfast and lunch menu that literally has something for everyone. If you can't find something you like, call a coroner because you must be dead. Even my lunch companion, All-Star Yelp Elite Dave W had no problem meeting his strict dietary needs. Rizo's also has a 3 page Dinner Menu (Dinner starts at 3:00pm) that has lots of cool and unusual dishes. You can tell from the honestly happy to meet you greeting when you walk in the door that this family owned and run restaurant has a lot of love for dishing up good food. The first thing I noticed was an industrial strength orange juicer behind the counter. Freshly squeezed juice is almost always a sign of commitment to quality. Dave W and I talked for a while with Edgar Rizo and we could both detect the pride and satisfaction the family feels in making Mr Rizo's restaurant vision a success. I ordered the House Skillet ($14.99), which has all the great skillet ingredients: Bacon, Sausage, Ham, onions, peppers, mushrooms, tomatoes, and pepper jack cheese. Plus 2 eggs any style, country potatoes, and your choice of 2 pancakes or toast. It was perfectly prepared with fresh ingredients. Easily the best skillet I've had since moving to Florida. I also ordered a side order of Bacon ($4.00 for 3 large slices of bacon) they were crunchy but not chewy, and with NO grease on the plate. Dave W cajoled our waitress Teutta (A.K.A Tutta) to get him a baked potato (which is on the dinner menu). I quickly took advantage of this early dinner offering to get some fresh homemade Guacamole and Chips ($7.95) from the dinner appetizer menu to go. Rizo's has recently gotten their beer and wine license so I had to get a 6oz glass of Spanish Chardonnay ($8.99). The house wine was crisp, and paired well with the skillet. Rizo's is also working on getting the liquor license to have a full bar. A fantastic meal with food to go for $45 with nice tip. This local owned restaurant is a hidden gem. Highly recommended! read more

First and Last Time. The worst non favor breakfast. I do say it does look good on a plate.... BUT food just did not taste good. When telling them you don't want/like it. It was grabbed off table. They don't care. NO UNDERSTAND. Why do I have to pay for an item I did not eat. What if I just took it with me. But I had no chance. Then I get told I have to pay. WE felt bullied. It was so loud inside. Senior citizens beware. Theres to many of them. Best to pay and RUN FAST. Best to go to waffle house. It's a bad feeling when you have to walk out. Pay 50 bucks for NOTHING. read more

First time here under the new ownership; they've just been here for a few weeks and they finally put in their entire menu , which includes dinner service. I say this because the last iteration of this place (Egg Haven) was breakfast/lunch only. I had a straightforward chopped steak & eggs. Rye toast (dry) with butter on the side. Hash browns on the side were quite serviceable and seasoned well. Chopped steak cooked medium well (I asked for medium) and not too aggressively seasoned. A crack or two of black pepper assisted; eggs were scrambled nicely tho. Daughter Unit and my dear Queen Bee decided to split "street style carne asada sopas." It's two fried corn tortillas covered w. egg, steak onion peppers shredded lettuce, queso fresco and bean puree. They were served with their house made salsas...green and red. They chose a side of avocado for an upcharge. Here's the reason for 4 stars rather than five...For one thing, the waitress totally messed up the DU/QB order. She paid no attention to the request for a split plate. So when she came out with a huge tray filled with plates, the ladies spoke up. Over and above THAT, our dear waitress said that a side of avocado would be a $1 up charge...it was $2.50 on the bill as the picture shows. The eggs were supposed to be over medium but they were definitely over hard. So waitress disappeared for another minute to split the order and bring it back. Then she told 'em that there's a $2 charge to split (common practice for restaurants). "Is that OK?" Well, TBH: the girl should've 86ed the split charge because she screwed up...so NO, it is NOT okay. We didn't fuss over it because fussing over $2 is plain petty. By the time she got back with THAT, my breakfast started to grow tepid. The ladies told me to start... Overall, the food was pleasant and the ladies LOVED the sopas. Mine was straightforward, a bit overcooked and bland (chopped steak) but still acceptable. Much of this could easily have been avoided had "Tutta" paid closer attention. Would we return? Queen Bee said yes for a second try. This was DU's last meal with us before headed back north. She would certainly return here when next she visits the Queen Bee (aka Mother Unit) and me. As she put it, she wanted a "flavor explosion" for that last meal. She definitely got what she wanted (almost x2)... read more

I've known Rizo for years--we cooked together back in my chefing days, and even then, he was a hidden gem in the kitchen. So when he told us he was opening a restaurant, I was genuinely excited. We stopped by for brunch--and trust me, I'm not a breakfast person--but Rizo's flavors hit different. You can already see his touch coming through. He recently took over the business and is currently honoring the previous owner's menu, adding subtle adjustments of his own while working behind the scenes on a brand-new menu. Word is, dinner service might be coming soon--and when it does, I expect he'll really start to shine. The space has a classic diner vibe--clean, simple, welcoming. If breakfast isn't your thing, I'd recommend waiting until the full menu rolls out. What you're tasting now is still part of that transition. But once Rizo has room to flex? This is a chef to keep your eyes on. read more

We were looking for a good breakfast place in the Largo area and found Rizo's. Upon entering we were seated in a comfortable booth. The place is clean and bright. They also have outdoor seating and we noticed many meals were taken to those tables. My wife ordered the one egg with hash browns, bacon and pancakes. I was the two eggs, country potatoes with kielbasa and rye toast. Everything was hot and delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

We thought we'd try out this new restaurant (new to us) that's been open for several months. I personally love, Mom and Pop restaurants, and this is one of them. It's wonderful that Rizo's is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We were greeted right away and brought to our table, where our server took our drink orders and also answered a few questions that we had. My bride had a quesadilla, which she added peppers and onions to the meal. I chose to have Country fried steak with mashed potatoes, gravy, and carrots as a vegetable. We both enjoyed our meals very much. We both agreed that we'll be back to Rizo's very soon, to enjoy more meals. read more

I'm a huge fan of family run, friendly places like this. With a huge menu and well seasoned food, Rizo's delivers the complete, affordable, comfortable and tasty diner-like experience! I have adopted a strict dairy free/low sugar/no-processed-food diet focused on protein and fresh veggies with natural/unprocessed carbs. No problem here! Eggs perfectly over medium, a large seasoned hand-formed hamburger patty, fresh sautéed yellow squash and a big baked potato (off the dinner menu)! Breakfast/lunch/dinner was served! Teuta aka Tutta did a fine job as our waitress, even fulfilling our requests off the dinner menu after checking with chef Rizo! The coffee was refilled multiple times so my energy level was high! No after meal nap needed! Thanks Tutte for your patience with us and your service! Edgar, the fine son of father Rizo, showed us the wonderful family photos that adorn the restaurant. He also answered our numerous questions on how the place started, their plans, etc. Brooke served other tables but still brought enthusiasm and a smile to the room. Peter N and I had a relaxed, enjoyable meal with plenty of conversation and friendly service! Life is good! read more

Had passed this restaurant numerous times and didn't pay much attention but when I saw Yelp reviews for this restaurant (not realize it was that location) i decided to go check it out - and I'm so glad I did!! Overall had a really nice experience. The location is nothing special from the outside but inside has been recently updated. Was greeted by several friendly employees and seated immediately. We had the sweetest and most attentive young gentleman waiting on us. He was so great checking-in on us and constantly keeping drinks refilled. I ordered a breakfast entree (for a late lunch) and my dad ordered a burger. Food came pretty quickly even though they seemed fairly busy. My breakfast was excellent! I had egg, bacon, hash browns and it came with a side of pancakes - I opted for the cinnamon roll ones and OMG they are to die for!!! My dad's burgers was nothing great, just a pretty basic burger, said it was kinda boring. But I'm not gonna hold it against them - they exceed in so many areas and overall their food seems great, and there's plenty else to choose from next time. There was a constant flood of people coming and going, even folks coming to grab carry-out. Seemed like mostly locals. Can't wait to come back! Highly recommend this local joint!! There's so much to choose from, breakfast thru dinner. One side note; if ordering breakfast after a certain time, there's like a $2 upcharge. I didn't find that a big deal, i was really craving breakfast. 100% Give 'em a try!! read more

We came around noon-ish, it wasn't packed and definitely had a cozy vibe! The music wasn't too loud, and everything was clean. We had our food quickly, and both of our dishes tasted good! Would recommend this place. read more

Tried Rizo's tonight. Attractive inside. Not noisy. My eggplant parm was good. Not drenched in sauce and it was over spaghetti. My spouse had the pork chop.

We'll definitely return and try some other items on the menu. read more

I love trying new restaurants so I had no expectations when stopping here. A clean diner, friendly waitresses, comfortable seating, extensive breakfast menu, with delicious well prepared food which all encouraged me to return soon for lunch. I had the best reuben sandwich EVER ! Perfectly grilled bread, so loaded with corned beef, kraut and cheese I had to ask for another slice of toast to pick up the contents which were falling out. I eagerly looked forward to a dinner, carefully noting on the menu at first glance the usual expected dishes, that upon exploration turn out to have RIZO's special twist. His Cuisine invites you to explore his heritage, his tastes, and combinations. I'll be back to explore the menu and 'cause the prices are quite reasonable. Chat with the family and feel their pride. That, too, is rewarding. read more

This was our first time at Rizo's. Menu was great. My wife had the Beef Poutine and I had the Pastalaya. Both were AWESOME! Very creative and delicious. We tried each other's entree and agreed we would switch next time. Service was also excellent. We will definitely be back. read more

Cuisine? Rizo's is a nice restaurant. But calling it "cuisine" is a bit much. It's more on par with a better diner, similar to "Acropol" around the corner. The building has been several different restaurants over the years--last a breakfast diner. There's not much to the atmosphere. Service was very good. Prices are quite reasonable. I started with an appetizer of Fried Green Tomatoes. There wasn't a lot of flavor to the tomatoes or the accompanying sauce. For an entrée I had the Bourbon BBQ Chicken. It was a small-ish half chicken covered with their homemade sauce and it was OK. The accompanying mashed potatoes and mixed veggies of zucchini and carrots were all very good. It's nice to get a composed, complete meal with a protein, starch and veg. I might return to Rizo's to try a few more items on the menu. read more

Decided to try this place out after passing it multiple times. This building has housed many businesses since its original as a Pizza Hut (my son used to work there). The service was problematic the night we went. There was just one high school aged young man and another young woman who was helping him out. We were seated quickly enough, the young lady brought us drinks, then we proceeded to sit there for then 13 or so minutes waiting for someone to come take our order. We almost left. I ordered chicken souvlaki platter and it was quite good. My husband got a cheesesteak sandwich. Both were tasty but I had to ask twice to get some salad dressing for the salad that came with my platter, and a tzatziki sauce. And then the young man asked if I wanted a refill on my drink, I said yes please, unsweetened iced tea. He dropped it off, I took a sip and yikes it was sweet tea. So I had to flag him down to bring a different tea. I'm sorry as I really wanted to give a great review but the lack of service outweighed the good food. I got the impression this is a family affair and I feel bad being negative, but it's got to be fixed. We will try again for breakfast and hopefully things will get better. After that we're back to where we went before. read more

I've been here several times now, and the food is outstanding. I read the chef was previously at the Living Room in Dunedin which I had always heard good things about so I wanted to check it out.

Stopped in on 6/28 am clean restaurant great staff food good . My only complaint is unruly customers . So loud I couldn't hold a conversation with my wife over breakfast . A table of women in the back were so loud and obnoxious. A kid on other side of reasturant loud and screaming parents not controlling him . So disappointed in atmosphere . Every thing else was great .don't think we will be back . read more

Restaurant was clean, staff was wonderful. Food was excellent and portions were huge! Very impressed and will absolutely return.

They have changed names this one is no longer in business in Largo. The sign was changed overnight with no communication to the customer.

Food was terrific and lots of leftovers, service was polite and helpful, and the restaurant was clean and cheery!

I recently visited here by myself since it's so close to home and brand new. Pros: 1. Great food (variety of options, large portions, tastes delicious). 2. Good service (got waited on quickly by a blondish haired lady, was asked if everything was good). 3. Atmosphere (nicer on the inside than outside, but that's ok, nice decor on the wall, inviting atmosphere, comfortable & cushy booths with nice table, silverware, ketchup, salt/pepper, and sugar/creamers on table, clean restaurant). Cons: 1. A bit pricy, but realistically some fast food is just as pricy and this food is WAY better, plus you'll have leftovers like I did. 2. Some staff may not speak English well, but that's ok because they're doing a great job. For example, I asked a staff member (not sure if she was a waitress) that was going around pouring coffee & cleaning up tables (she was wearing a bun on her head) if they served Gluten Free options and she just stared at me-just stared. At least she could have done is get my original waitress. 3. They don't offer Gluten Free options. I asked my original waitress and asked if they had GF hamburger buns (for lunch another day) and she said nothing there is GF. With that being said, we probably won't come as a family as one family member can only have GF not by choice. 4. I wish staff, waitresses, etc had name badges on. I like to call people by their first name and I could have referred staff here by their first name instead of "blondish haired lady" & "was wearing a bun on her head." Overall, I would go here again, but not with family as a whole. read more
