We saw "Burgers,Beignets and more" and decided to give it a try. This was an EXCELLENT choice! My daughter had a smash burger, my husband an Italian sensation, and I had the muffeleto ( sorry I don't know how to spell it). We all Loved our sandwiches we shared fully loaded fries, and each a different beignets. Oh my goodness the FOOD WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD!! Service was excellent! WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND EVERYONE HEAD TO THIS PLACE WITH A QUICKNESS!! God Bless

This is my 2nd time visiting this establishment. First time I had the Black & Blue Smash Burger…read more The blue cheese crumbles were an excellent touch. This visit I decided to try my son's recommendation of the Sicilian Sensation. Hoping it is as good as their burger. The burgers here are all smashed and cooked to perfection. At least to my perfection. It is a very small place and the parking lot can only handle about 4 good sized cars/trucks. So if the place is packed you will have to park a little ways away. Aside from that it is a mellow spot. The hostess/waitress is pleasant and if you don't want to sit inside and wait for your takeout she will bring it outside to your vehicle. The background music is not overwhelming so conversations can be had without screaming. Oh forgot to mention I ordered the 3 beignets for $6.99. Had to try them since they are in the name. This place gets 5 stars for keeping it simple.

You can watch boats cruise by while you eat. The best spots are on the open outdoor deck or at a table next to the large windows. Inside, the dining room is decorated in a Mediterranean style. It features colorful Spanish tiles, lush tropical plants, and authentic artwork. The famous historic 1905 salad originally created in 1905 was made table side by Tossing 4 cups of chopped iceberg lettuce, 1/2 cup julienned ham, 1/2 cup julienned Swiss cheese, 1 ripe chopped tomato, and 1/2 cup green Spanish olives. Top with Romano cheese, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, and a tangy garlic dressing. The flavor is great and it's a nice light healthy option. 9/10 The Ropa Vieja was Originally introduced to Cuba by Spanish sailors. The name means "old clothes" because the choice beef is shredded, sautéed and simmered with onions, green peppers and tomatoes. Served with platanos and white rice. 9/10 The Shrimp Salteado came with Jumbo shrimp sautéed in exra-virgin olive oil, sliced Spanish onions, green peppers, fresh garlic, mushrooms, diced potatoes, chorizo and red wine. Served with yellow rice. 9/10 For dessert, the flan is one of the best I have ever tasted. The recipe dates to 1935 when the Columbia opened Tampa's first "Conditioned Air" dining room, the Don Quixote. Our grandmother and great-grand-mother, Carmen Hernandez, helped the Columbia gain national fame with her great recipes, especially her flan. Spanish caramel egg custard, prepared the old-fashioned way, using only the best natural ingredients. 9/10 Our server was friendly and informative and our food came out in a timely manner.

I also love that their outdoor deck dining area on the water is dog friendly. I have always been treated with exceptional and friendly service, and the restaurant is so beautiful no matter where you sit. This time I sat in the bar area with an amazing view of the bay, even though it was a rainy day. I love to bring out of town guests here, and have celebrated lots of special occasions at the Columbia. There has also been many times when I have really just craved their 1905 salad, Red Sangria and warm Cuban bread and butter, so I pop in for a quick visit. It is so addicting!!! On this visit with my daughter, we enjoyed a pitcher of table side red Sangria, a 1905 salad also made table side, warm Cuban bread and butter, Champiñones Rellenos, and Pollo Manchego. We ended this fabulous feast with Café Con Leche and a Flan to share. I will be back again soon.

Immediately as I walked through the door, I was greeted by a lovely young man behind the counter. He asked me if I have been here before and I told him it was my first visit. He took the time to go over the menu and explain in detail what they offer and some of their latest creations. It was a wonderful start to my first visit. After his recommendations I decided on the classic Cuban sandwich and the beef and cheese empanada. Hands down one of the top 10 Cuban sandwiches I've had in quite some time. Especially in the new Tampa area. The Cuban sandwich was absolutely delicious. Pressed perfectly with amazing quality ingredients inside. The beef and cheese empanada was equally delicious. If you are in the area and looking for authentic Cuban food, done, right I highly recommend giving them a visit. I will definitely be back and this will be a regular staple for me. Looking forward to trying many of their other dishes. Now that I know I have a solid Cuban sandwich place in my neighborhood!

This I found online searching and have driven by it a million times in the 18 years I have lived here in Tampa Bay as it is close to my parents house. Sadly, the plaza that it is in isn't thriving so I never noticed it. Inside was cute with lively music and decor. They were willing to adjust our sandwiches to order and very friendly. They have been there for over 20 years according to the person I spoke with, which in a plaza not thriving says a lot. The prices were very affordable and all the meats were warm throughout (sadly I have had many Cubans with some meat still being cold even though pressed) but I would say that I would have liked the sandwich pressed just a little longer to make more of a crispy bread. Other than that, we enjoyed our lunch and are happy to have found a new location so close to my parents for when my Mom gets her Cuban cravings. :)
