    SHRIMP BIG BOWL
    Rhena S.

    While in Tampa we stopped here for a quick bite to eat. I ordered the shrimp bowl which consisted of grilled shrimp, yellow rice, black beans, onions, bell peppers and jalapeños. The service was good, the staff was nice. The shrimp bowl was served hot and was actually very flavorful. I would for sure order this again.

    Good job

    Can we ever get polite service in da hood? Cashier gave me a mean look without responding when I said hi and thank you. Attitudes! Why go into customer service if you hate people?

    Shrimp Bowl

    I come to Salem's Fresh Eats at this location at least once a week. I order the same thing every time which is the the Big Bowl with Grilled Shrimp. The bowl is made with nicely seasoned rice, grilled onions, grilled mushrooms, grilled green peppers, and grilled jalapeno peppers. They give you a nice amount of grilled shrimp on it too. It's delicious! I've always received good customer service from this location. I've always gone through the drive-thru and the staff has usually been courteous. There is usually a 10-15 minute wait once you order your food but it's worth it because the food is made fresh and it is delicious. Soooo, tonight, January 13th 2021 at 8:19 p.m., I order my usual. The nice young lady with pretty green dreads takes my money and gives me my receipt. As I'm waiting, I notice this young guy with a army fatigue hat, green jacket and glasses walking up to the window. I see him make a drink from the fountain for a customer that I assume is waiting inside the restaurant. The entire time his mask is below his chin. I see him walking towards where the kitchen is. He doesn't go into the kitchen but he talks to someone through the window where the the food comes out. He keeps walking between the kitchen window, the counter, and the drive thru window. He is just all up and around the food and drinks with NO MASK! The other young person with the colored dreads keeps her mask on the whole time. When I asked him if he could put his mask over his mouth and nose because he is around the food being prepared, he responded sarcastically "Do I really need to put it on. I'm working up front? I'm not handling the food." Where is the manager and why would they allow this. I threw my food out. I work in the health care industry and this s*** is real. This location would have earned 4.5 out of 5 stars; however, today really makes me not want to come back at least until after this pandemic is over!

    Not pretty or fancy... but dang it's good. The Philly can feed two. The lamb Gyro is legit. Check it out

    Pressed and formed gyro meat; not shaved.

    Salem's is a well known Tampa spot especially for late night meals. I've never been so gave them a try at the Ybor location. First off, girl that took my order was sweet and accurate. The wait was 20 min with 3 cars in front of me and I was prepared for that amount of time. I paid $30 for 2 meals and only 1 came with a drink. I got a gyro sandwich with Cheese fries and a large fruit punch. The fries were piping hot with a nacho cheese sauce over them. I think fries would be a safe option for anyone. The cheese sauce is good if you like that artificial nacho orange sauce and a lot of people do. (Culver's has the best cheese sauce imo). Salems cheese fries on their own are over $8 dollars with tax - seems overpriced to me and it was $3 extra to upgrade my side of fries to cheese fries and a $1 to upgrade to a large drink. The gyro meat was pressed and formed like lunch meat. I was disappointed bc I thought it would be shaved off of a big hunk of meat like the Greek places I go to but it's not. It was like the cafeteria meat I used to get in elementary school in Maryland. The big bowl with grilled tilapia was also a no. The tilapia was under seasoned and rubbery. The size of the big bowl is very generous but since it's mostly just rice and beans: the vegetarian bowl is overpriced at $11. (It's the same price as the other bowls with chicken, shrimp or fish). The bowls comes with yellow rice, black beans, sweet and hot peppers and cooked onions. My preference would be to have chopped peppers instead of long stringy ones but not a big deal. The rice and beans were good. I am going to try another location and get the fried fish, wings or cheesesteak as these items have been recommended to me by others.

    Seriously??

The food is just as good. I love their lobster roll and the fish tacos, both are always solid and hit the spot every time. Perfect spot if you want something low key with great views and good food. Definitely one of my go-tos.

    Leon's Lobstah Shack is located off Interbay next to Ballast Point Park Kids playground with pretty…read moreviews of the water and the fishing pier, south of Bayshore in South Tampa. You have to place your order at a register and they bring your food out to the table overlooking the water. There is patio seating and indoor seating. The tables are metal w a blue rubber. Not uncomfortable but not particularly comfortable either. The place is casual, low frills, and does not offer table service. However, the sunsets over the water are super pretty here and the string lighting is pretty. The LOADED LOBSTER BISQUE came with creamy bisque with a hint of sherry wine and extra loaded with lots of lobstah meat. 10/10 LEONS "FAMOUS" LOBSTAH ROLL served Hot comes with old bay and butter. If Served Cold, it comes with house mayo blend, fresh citrus and old bay. I opted for hot and it was very tasty. 10/10 LEONS PO BOY came with crispy shrimp with house slaw, sweet & spicy pickles, and our scratch made remoulade. 8/10 BANG SHRIMP TACOS came with crispy shrimp with siracha mayo, sweet thai chili, house slaw, and red pepper flakes on 3 flour tortillas and a side of potato chips. The tacos were tasty but chips side was disappointing. It Would have been better with real chips and salsa. 8/10 FISH N CHIPS came with crispy northern cod fried golden brown and served with tartar sauce and leons house-made remoulade. Very tasty fresh and juicy. 9/10 LEONS CRISPY SHRIMP BASKET came with a dozen jumbo shrimp served with cocktail and leons' house made. The shrimp was surprisingly juicy and tasty. The remolded sauce was tasty as well. 9/10 If you're looking for a casual seafood spot with a pretty sunset water view in South Tampa south of Bayshore, definitely try out Leon's Lobstah Shack!

    Stopped out here for a quick lunch on water street as it's been in my cross hairs for some time…read morenow, so glad I did! Tried a few quick bites a first for the oysters as well as the fried pickles, hands down the oysters were the best part, only complaint is there was only 3! Since I wasn't super hungry after that I just got the Cuban sandwich which, I have no complaints about. Bread was tasty and the flavor overall hit the spot! They had manhattans on the menu so I gave that a go, it wasn't exactly what I would expect for a manhattan as it was too sweet, but that's okay still good enough to drink! They do have large ice for my old fashioned friends if interested for an upcharge. One thing I didn't expect of this restaurant was how huge it really is, multiple dining rooms as well as outdoor seating. You shouldn't have any issue getting a table but can always reserve to be sure! Overall happy with the experience and would certainly go again

    I dined at The Pearl for the first time last night after looking forward to it for quite a while…read more My first impression was that the restaurant is beautiful, the decor, lighting, and large windows made it feel bright, open, and welcoming. The hostess was polite, though she seemed a bit stressed and not especially warm. One small downside was the seating. There were open booths by the window that I had hoped for, especially since I was dining with an out-of-town friend, but we were seated in a much darker area toward the back. Not a huge issue, just not the atmosphere I was hoping for. That said, the service was prompt, and the food and drinks were outstanding. Everything we ordered; drinks, appetizers, entrees and dessert was excellent, and I'm already looking forward to coming back to try more of the menu. A couple minor negatives: the bathrooms could have been cleaner and had an odor, and my first drink had a small bug in it and needed to be remade. It may be worth having the bar area checked for gnats. Overall though, it was still a great experience and definitely worth visiting.
