Super impressed by their fresh and packaged meats and pastas (including gluten free). Got one of the special sandwiches with figs and goat cheese which was brought to my table for me. Y'all. It was amazing. When I paused to take a breath, I had already inhaled a quarter of it! A picture perfect cannoli finished off the meal and I got to chat with the owner's mom, Elena and waved to her husband Bob (working the deli). Will definitely be back!

Josephine's Italian Market is a gem of a place for lunch in Brandon. Located in an older strip…read moreplaza off 60 near South Kings, you'd never suspect such a delightful, bustling place with top notch food is here. The parking lot is your only indicator, it wasn't packed for Sherwin Williams, the salon or the nail shop, that's for sure. My wife and I wanted some lunch. We were looking for a place as we headed back to Valrico from Tampa and my wife always loves an Italian sandwich. We walked in to a pretty busy place. People sitting about, a small bar area, a little market selling dried pastas and other goods to make your own authentic Italian meal. We were greeted by a friendly guy, who I can only assume was the owner. He asked if it was our first time. We said yes and he gave us the quick tour. A coffee bar, the market, the fridges with Italian sausage and pastas and then the big board. Their menu. He went over what they offered and what they are known for and left us to it. Without a doubt, my wife ordered the Italian. Ham, capicola, salami, peperoni, provolone, lettuce, red onion and hot and sweet peppers. This was also topped with dressing. A good slab of meats, a bit of spice, a depth of flavors you'd expect and all placed between fresh, tasty bread. My wife highly enjoyed this and would order again. I got the Monica. Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, arugula, tomato, pesto and a balsamic glaze. The salty, thin meat was the base for this excellent, fresh and flavorful sandwich. I was looking for something a little "lighter" and this hit the bill. A more veggie forward sandwich, the cheese, arugula, tomato, pesto and balsamic brought all the flavor here and the salty-sweet flavor of the paper-thin sliced Italian ham added just the right amount of meat. The bread here was also a standout. I'd order this again too. As we sat and ate, more and more people came in, more and more people greeted the same way we were. Josephine's has what you're looking for in a family owned, local spot. Heart and excellent food. We'd come back here for sure.

It's a small mom and pop style hole in the wall and had food already cooked cafeteria style or you can order off the menu. After looking at the delicious trays of food, I was ordering from there no question. I couldn't identify what one dish was and when I asked and she said Pig's Feet, I said that's what I want!! I also got black beans and rice and Plantains with it, and the three compartment tray was overfilled and almost bursting. Everything was so delicious, I know I have to come back again. The pork was succulent and came right off the bone and in small pieces so it was easy to eat. I asked for chopped raw onions to top the black beans and rice and the kitchen was happy to oblige. The Plantains were perfectly sweet. Server was very pleasant and her English was good. Food and company couldn't have been better!

I walked right up to the counter and ordered. I had a tiny bit of a hard time narrowing down my decision but i ended up going with the roast pork omelette which i loved. It came with my choice of bread and i picked Cuban toast which i loved as well. My husband went with the Mac Daddy which came with fish and grits and the way it smelled in the car omg i wanted to pull over and have some before we even got to our intended destination! I'm so glad we finally stopped in. The pricing was fair and the service was super quick and friendly.

If you want to take over for a legendary local institution, your first responsibility is to…read moreunderstand your clientele, understand why they come to the establishment, what they're after, and most importantly, change as little as possible. You have a giant pile of goodwill and credibility you've inherited! You have a team that knows how to deliver it, night after night, just the way your regulars like it! All you have to do....is keep doing what's been working brilliantly for decades. Hungry Harry's didn't sell the place because of problems with the food, and reliably every night, the little parking lot was packed with regulars. What the hell went wrong, here? Portions halved. Sides, once mountains of golden-brown, artery-punishing Southern hospitality, became dingy little half-sized groupings of mixed burnt items scraped from the bottom of the fryer, and the meat, also halved in portion, arrived lukewarm. They had some sauces, they thought. You could ask. They'd see what they had in back. The once-legendary brownie sundaes became dull bricks of diluted Duncan Hines mix, with a small scoop of ice cream atop. I hear you, Yelp reader. I hear you saying "Is it all about the portions? Aren't you fat enough already?" Well, my cardiologist thinks so, but I urge you to frame this differently. This is supposed to be a great big heaps-o-stacks-o-comfort-food Southern hospitality party; that's what a barbecue joint *is*. It's a meat orgy. It's shirt-button-popping, belly-stretching TOO MUCH TOO RICH TOO GOOD excess. It's an entire Goddamned Mardi Gras in your mouth, without the drunk, vomiting college kids. Food should be indulgent, piled to the sky, and stick-to-your-ribs-and-arteries filling, Every flavor should sing. It's okay if those flavors sing off-key, they just need to sing with passion and conviction. This is "Happy Birthday, Dear Tastebuds," not rocket science. This is what a barbecue joint is. It's where your fat uncle with the awful Dad jokes actually says "Oh I couldn't possibly eat another bite" and for one in his gluttonous life, actually means it. It's a giant warm happy Southern night in the yard with the family where nobody goes home hungry. It's meat and fried things and butter and desserts that you're going to regret tomorrow. And all H&H had to do was *keep doing this*, damn it. Too expensive? That's fine, up the price, we'll pay! But what we got was a sad, stressed place with the owner yelling at the crew in front of the guests more than once, his wife walking the floor scowling darkly at guests for reasons I cannot fathom, the poor old crew from Harry's looking like they were halfway through a tour in an active combat theater, and...the sort of food I could easily ruin myself at home. The joy was gone. The indulgence, the plenty, the lifted spirits were gone. The treat-your-tongue-and-fill-your-belly goodness was gone. That's your job, H&H. Your job is to pile plates high with warm, smoky meat and heapin' helpin's (omitted 'g's essential) of the sides that have worked for decades, served up with the biggest Goddamn smiles since Disney opened parks in Orlando and an atmosphere of "your cousin's house on feast night." You had this. You had it and you decided it "needed changes." No. I'm gonna stop you right there. No, it does not "need changes." It needed to be exactly the winning ticket it was, the day before you bought it and decided the menu needed pho, for some completely inexplicable reason. You needed to show us that you understood us, and understood your role as a provider of food, food-adjacent-experience, and probably also diabetes. What you showed us was that you wanted our money, and wanted to see how low the quality bar could drop before your most patient regulars walked. Don't tell me you "didn't understand the business." All you had to do was *not change the existing, solid, working formula*. Don't alienate the crew who knows how to run the place. Don't alienate the customers that provide you with regular income. *Do what pleases the masses, again and again and again, just like last time*. You had just one job, H&H. "Continue Harry's." You had the location, the customers, the teams, the recipes, the process, the equipment. A similar tale can be told of Babe's Pizza, down the way. Their new owner decided the place with the two pizzas stacked in a gastronomic fever dream, "garlic bread" made by slathering a hot dog bun in butter and cheese, and the evil mutant death baby out front needed to be "fine Italian dining," then, instead of holding out to sell it to someone who understood that they had an institution to uphold, announced they'd sold to a group turning it into a 24-hour diner, and then frantically tore down the post after being bombarded with vitriol for it. You don't inherit an institution and then disregard the institution. Start over fresh, if you're going to do that. H&H "Family Bay" is not Hungry Harry's. And that's a damned shame.

At 4 pm, there were lots of empty tables, but they hadn't been cleaned so we had to wait for them to wipe down our table. Our server, Jaycie, was as pleasant and helpful as could be. We both ordered iced tea, but it tasted like water. She had more brewed and it was perfect. The menu has numerous choices and we opted to share the pot stickers as an appetizer. They arrived nice and hot, but were deeply fried. We must not have read the description because that's not our preferred style. They were filled with a nice filling and the dipping sauce was spicy and good. Had they been slightly pan fried they would have been excellent. I ordered the Italian sub with curly fries. Again, everything was nice and hot, which I love. The sub was so overloaded with Italian dressing that it's all I could taste. It didn't seem like the typical meats on an Italian sub, but I really couldn't tell. Disappointing.

Like a line all the way to the door where you walk in at. On the left there are a ton of pastries. i'd love to come back and try pastries, but on this day, I didn't try any. Up first, I had the $11.99 homemade meatballs. Absolutely on point, and perfect meatballs. I really enjoyed them. For my main entree though, I got a Rebuen sandwich, or otherwise known as a Five Points Gang for $21.99. Oooooof, I really wanted to like the Reuben. I've never said this before about a Reuben sandwich, but frankly it had too much meat. It was weird because it was swallowing a handful of pastrami and nothing else. You couldn't taste any of the dressing, sauerkraut, or the bread because your mouth is full of just pastrami. I love Reuben sandwiches, and this one just isn't it. I hope to come back and give a review of a different sandwich and pastries. I feel like there's potential here, and maybe I just had a wrong item. Whereas the meatball was legit delicious.
