OMG Espresso Martinis brewed with real espresso, not out of a pre-mix or can! Holy smokes did I hit the jackpot with a bomb bartender. Shout out to Rebecca. She was awesome! I was waiting for my flight to go see my Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers win the Peach Bowl in Atlanta. I've been to Ulele plenty of times at Armature Works, but never at the airport. It just so happened that today my gate was by Ulele. The espresso martini was $21.50, but it was A+ for an airport. Rebecca did tell me though if you got a lazy bartender they might just give you some can espresso mix. If you get that then the espresso will be terrible. I also had a $12.99 Cigar City Lager. It was the standard Tampa Beer. For food I had the $20 club sandwich. Standard club sandwich exactly as it should be. I had a nice time here waiting for my flight. Roomy bar to hang out and relax. read more

Ulele Bar - STEAK! - Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This is for the Tampa Airport location. Outside of the bar seats have an online ordering process, and many have power outlets. Felt the menu was too limited and expensive for my needs. Instead went over to RumFish Grill located over by the TSA entrance. :-) Would love to try out the full restaurant location for a dinner however next time I'm in town :-) Looks very interesting. read more

Came in for a lunch and cocktail while on a layover. I had the Cuban sandwich with none other than crispy tots and I ate it all! It was so good! Service was good and attentive even though it was busy. It's out and open into the terminal so it's loud and people walking by but what can ya do about it?? Great experience all around! read more

Excellent Food--Beautiful Ambience--Kid & Dog-Friendly! I don't say this lightly: Ulëlé is one of my favorite restaurants of all time--easily top two. It's no surprise it's a Michelin-recognized restaurant and one of only five in all of Tampa, Florida. Major shout-out to Chef Chad Quackenbush (Chef Quack) for curating such an exceptional menu. I ordered the fire-roasted chicken with mac and cheese, and the seasoning across every bite was absolutely outstanding. My lady had the highly recommended Waterworks Meatloaf, while my cousin went with the charbroiled oysters--every dish was a hit. Dessert took things to another level. We shared the Bourbon Butter Cake and the Pineapple Upside-Down Bread Pudding with dark rum sauce, which my lady declared the best desserts she's ever had--and I completely agree. Our server, Josh, was fantastic, and the overall ambiance is incredible at the Water Works Park: bayfront views, striking statuary, and a welcoming, family-friendly vibe. And here's something you don't see every day--Ulëlé is dog-friendly. Not only were there plenty of happy pups, but they even have a menu just for dogs. Five-star experience, without question. A must-eat destination whether you're visiting Tampa or lucky enough to live here. read more

I never thought an airport bar/restaurant would get 5 stars but the food and service here was that good, especially compared to what you might expect from "airport food." A big shout-out to Alexis who served us so well and was so attentive. Yes, at an airport bar/restaurant! read more

The very friendly bartender here made me the best dirty gin martini with blue cheese olives I had during my entire stay in Florida. I wish I saved the photos. Highly recommend stopping for one (or three) before your flight, and then take a good nap on the plane. read more

I went for my birthday! It was a last minute reservation and on the reservation i selected it was my bday, however when i got there i didn't mention it and our waiter still brought out the prettiest truffles that didn't last our walk to the car! I ordered raw oysters and a scallop ceviche! The presentation for the scallops ceviche was so pretty. My entree was the scallop risotto and my friend order the grilled chicken. I wish i paid more attention to the names but since we were sat outside i spent a lot of time people watching as they walked riverwalk. I really enjoyed the food and felt like everything on the menu was fairly priced for the serving sizes i saw. read more

Had the best food, drinks and service. We had a group of 12, and everyone loved their meals. Will definitely be back!

Bartender at the Tampa Tampa Bay airport was eavesdropping on a conversation I was having with a personal friend, heard the word Trump, came over and had a meltdown running us out of the restaurant for mentioning the president's name. I felt like I was getting robbed having to pay my bill and tip that person that you hired to represent your business.. if you allow your employees to express their personal opinions and ruin peoples vacations, you should not be in an airport, especially an airport in Florida read more

The ambiance was serene, what everyone comes for. The food was unfortunately not all that great. The chef came out to apologize though and they comped my food for being raw. The server, April was nice but she didn't give us their handmade chocolate that she gave everyone else; didn't even tell my boyfriend happy birthday. What's up with the service industry?! read more

Ulele Bar - 20 oz blue moon - Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

At the Tampa Airport, Ulele is a great bet! Our server, Alberto, was attentive and great. My favorite was the okra and I would definitely order this again. I liked the blackened grouper, but would likely try something else next time. It was good, but not flavorful enough, in my opinion. All bar drinks are well made. There are other food options in this area, so you are able to please everyone, while sharing a table. read more

Had 45 minutes before boarding and wanted to grab a quick lunch. Tampa Airport is my favorite airport, but it's still an airport, so doesn't always have the best, cleanest, feel-good food options. Ahead of a 4.5 hour flight I wanted to feel good, so opted to get the lunch turkey club from Ulele. My server Elizabeth had a smile on her face the entire time. I told her about my dairy allergy and she kindly double checked on a couple things for me! My sandwich came out so fast I was shook, and it was really good! The bacon was crispy, but the housemade chips stole the show. Loved the housemade ketchup and I liked the "jimmychurri" as well. Overall a solid pre-flight meal! read more

Poor service. Slow with customer interactions. Food wasn't all that. I ended up going to another restaurant

Although I am glad they have a location in the airport, it is not the same as Tue genuine Ulele. Today I ordered the blacked Grouper sandwich. See attached photo. No, I didn't eat half of the meal before I took the photo. This is how it came. Yes I wanted it plain. No, I did not order a slider. The server was embarrassed to serve it. But he did and did not offer a solution when I mentioned that I didn't order a slider. It was tasty but not satisfying. $20 was a giant rip off. read more

We have had horrible service allllll vacation and at the very last minute, Diana saved the day at the Tampa Airport Ulele Bar. The bar ran out of Watermelon Purée on a mix drink I ordered, she suggested strawberry as a replacement and the drink was fantastic! The cherry on top, she was super sweet and welcoming.....thank you for ending the trip proper with a fantastic drink and great customer service. Management you need to acknowledge her!! read more

Went back and once again, DELICIOUS! My sister was in town and we stopped in for lunch! It's such a great spot. We were early and since they weren't ready for us, we went next door for cocktails. They texted us when they were and then we had a great time! Our server, Dejah, was great! I had the blackened redfish-SO FLAVORFUL! We shared the okra fries-DELIGHTFUL! And we shared the key lime stack-AMAZING AND DECADENT! It was a lovely time! You can dine in or eat outside. Highly recommend! The staff is always great! The food is always great! read more

Excellent food in an airport, you asked and the answer is definitely yes!! Heather didn't steer me wrong by recommending the blacken grouper sandwich even if the fish wasn't from Florida. This place is an outpost of a real restaurant outside the airport. While they have a limited menu the food is excellent. The fish was juicy, the roll soft and fluffy, the chips hard and crunchy served with a delicious romulade. It was the best $20 I ever spent in an airport for food and definitely recommend if your in the Southwest departure terminal. read more

Horrible service, understaffed, do not come here go to one of the other places in the airport

I can't say much about this location that is different from any other bustling airport restaurant. It's open air, has TVs up at the bar, and you have to press the button on the table placards in order to call for service. The waiters are friendly, prompt, and get you what you need. I never had an issue with my order or my service, aside from the fact that once I needed my check split, a manager could not be found. And, as they were the only person who could do this, I cut it very close with my boarding time. But really, that's to be expected from such a busy place, and can easily controlled on my part by planning better next time. But I must say, above all, the chargrilled oysters are to die for. My husband and I had a road trip last year all through the South and this was one of the MOST life-giving dishes I've ever eaten. If you stop by this place please make sure to check out the chargrilled oysters. You won't regret it! read more

This bar in the airport food court does sell food and has specialty drinks. Mainly a Mexican menu on food, so I decided to go Greek(next door) after inquiring of it was acceptable to purchase food at another counter and drink at The bar- which was totally acceptable! The unique feature of This place is you ring a doorbell for service! I love This feature. Staff have portable credit card readers for convenience as well. You can sit and charge Your Device Without fighting over a plug. Beer was Cold; not aHuge selection but had My Stella so I was contentI would go back and totally recommend to others- prices are typical for airport$12 for a 20oz. read more

Ulele Bar - Cena en Ulele tampa - Bars Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Bottom Line: A decent spot for a last taste of Tampa located in the airport concourse/airside C (SWA gates 30 to 45). I needed to grab some lunch before heading back to Maryland but I didn't want airport food because why waste good calories on bad food. When I saw Ulele at the airport I was excited to get some local fare. I had previously been to the Ulele on the Tampa Riverwalk so I was expecting good stuff. I sat at a seat away from the bar and really appreciated the convenience of pressing the call button for the waiter. He was prompt and friendly which is important in an airport, especially promptness. Their cocktails and draft list were tempting but I stuck to water and went all out with teh grouper sandwich. I had it prepared blackened and found it to be a nice firm piece of fish with good flavor but not spicy. The grouper sandwich was served on a brioche bun with fresh produce and their signature zucchini pickles which are a bit unique. Overall, it was a tasty sandwich. Also tasty was the housemade potato chips. Usually I can push chips to the side pretty easily but these were addicting! Overall, this was a good experience and I would definitely return if I'm in that part of TPA again. read more
