    I went to Willa's for dinner on Friday night with my girlfriends and it was such a cute and easy spot for a Friday night out. It was busy but not packed, which we were honestly relieved about since it was the day before Valentine's Day. We were a little nervous about the wait but got sat right away, and our server was great. We all ordered the French onion soup and it was incredible. Definitely the standout of the night. We decided to do a bunch of small plates and appetizers to share. Overall everything was good, but I was not over the top impressed with the shareables. The Brussels sprouts were amazing, but we also ordered the bread, chips and dip, and a meat dish. The meat felt a little odd since it did not come with crackers or anything to pair it with, which made it harder to share. I have been before for brunch and personally think it is a better brunch spot or a place to grab drinks. I just did not find too many things on the dinner menu that I was super excited about. Still a really cute atmosphere and a fun spot with friends.

    Had brunch here on a Thursday and really enjoyed it! It wasn't super busy around 11am, my friend and I brought our babies and there was ample space for us and 2 high chairs without it feeling cramped or chaotic. Our waitress was so nice and quick to give us the highlight reel of the menu and give us some great recommendations. The iced caramel latte was fantastic - not overly sweet and not watered down. I ordered the huevos rancheros, I would definitely recommend. The chorizo is really good and the jalapeño cream sauce is just the cherry on top. I did scrambled eggs on the side, so I could give my baby some eggs without all the extra stuff as well. We'll definitely be back because there were quite a few items we wanted to try on the menu but could only fit so much into our stomachs!

    We came here for a casual lunch. We sat outside and loved the outdoor seating and pleasant weather. Our service was awesome, the server (I forget his name, he was an older gentleman) was kind and attentive. Our favorites from the menu was the first mocktail on the menu (they have it on tap and it was so good and refreshing!) and the potato latkes, which I loved with the apple butter. The rotisserie chicken and schnitzel were great too. Make sure you stop by next door for coffee after!! They have some great lattes!

    Here's my take. I have visited Willa's twice and had two very different experiences. The service was exceptional both visits and it has a cute vibe inside. Nothing crazy just a subtle cutness. Now for the food. Once I visited for brunch which was amazing! They have a delicious ricotta, lemon curd French toast breakfast and a fun coffee selection. I tried bites of everyone in my parties food, and it was all amazing. Last night I visited durning dinner, and it just wasn't my thing.I felt like the dinner menu was overpriced for what it is. I would suggest looking over the menu before you go. With all that being said, this spot is know for brunch and I can see why! I highly recommend visiting for brunch.

    Smoked Salmon Bagel Sandwich

    There is no shortage of good brunch spots in Tampa. But Willa's stands out as offering some excellent healthy options beyond your standard omelette and pancakes. Love the ambiance and mix of bar top, diner, and classy restaurant. Gives this place such character. Service was friendly and fast, making for an enjoyable experience. I got the Smoked Salmon Bagel Sandwich. Love the Alfalfa Sprouts, which provided a nice vegetal contrast to the smoked salmon. The house made chips were a good side compared to your standard hash browns or breakfast potatoes. Lovely place I would come back to with friends or family :)

    Avocado toast, very simple and not full of flavor

    The food was very bland , great atmosphere and beautiful ambience inside. Restaurant was not accommodating. We could not order scrambled eggs without dairy after telling them of a. dairy allergy. There are no meat alternatives such as turkey, bacon, turkey sausage or chicken sausage.. only pork I gave it a 3 star

    Mushroom omelette

    Stopped in for breakfast yesterday. We ordered a matcha latte, iced coffee latte, and a hot chai tea latte. They made a mistake with the coffee latte like 2 times and our waitress was super friendly and changed it no problem. Service was super friendly. The place is very cute. We enjoyed breakfast plate, and mushroom omelette. Definitely a great little neighborhood place!!!

    Really cool, easy going vibe. Service was quick and the staff is very knowledgable of their menu. I had the DBL Cheese smash burger and my wife had the Chicken Schnitzel. Burger was juicy with crispy fries. The chicken schnitzel was larger than anticipated. Great flavors and was not disappointed! Finished off with an old fashioned and a chai iced latte. I would definitely recommend if looking for a brunch/lunch venue that is quick and tasty!

    Had a very pleasant experience at Willa's; my party was seated very quickly and the waiter was very friendly and swung by multiple times to check in on us; I had one of the chicken salad sandwhich which came out great; highly recommend to all

    Absolutely amazing. Service is friendly. Coffee is great and food is super delicious. And they give out free pens and matches. Can't go wrong.

    Huevos rancheros

    Overall: Willa's is an adorable local brunch spot, with awesome food, coffee and great vibes! Food 4. Great brunch options! The French toast was a delicious treat and our favorite of the entrees! The avocado toast was yummy but needed a little extra flavor (recommend hot sauce or balsamic vinegar!). Atmosphere 5 love the vibe with the luscious greenery and plants. They have a cute mural wall in the back of the restaurant that's a perfect spot to snag a picture for IG! Service 4 we had great, attentive service with friendly and kind staff! They took care to ensure we had a great experience.

    Nate's Breakfast.  Fabulous.

    DO NOT SKIP BRUNCH!! The food is an edible masterpiece. While in Tampa with my daughters, we just wanted breakfast. Just a normal breakfast. We were not mentally prepared for this Master Class in culinary art. Nate's Breakfast was brilliant. Eggs scrambled perfectly. Latkes were thicker than I've normally had them (maybe 10mm thick) with a perfectly crunchy outside, and creamy in the inside. The salmon was good, as were the onions, and the avocado was ripe. The garlic aoli was wonderful, and had an extra herb-y flavor that I couldn't place. Tasting everything by itself was great, but combining it all into one bite made fireworks in my mouth. Brilliant. The Breakfast Plate came with 2 of the most perfect over-medium eggs I've ever seen. The toast was, this is going to sound ridiculous, the toastiest toast I've ever eaten. Like someone stood over an open flame just slowly toasting it to perfection. And it had a hint of sweetness. And the bacon. Thick bacon. Almost like someone made a mistake. Like 3 average slices of bacon in one. And how did they get such thick bacon to be firm, but not burnt, I'll never know. Fabulous dish. The Avocado Toast consisted of a fairly thick slice of toast, with at least one whole avocado spread over it's entirety, and eggs Sunny Side Up. This bite is everything you'd imagine: creamy, crunchy, and just a little bit messy. :) But absolutely worth it!! Incredible. Sourdough French Toast. I have never in my life had a culmination of exquisite independent flavors as was in one bite with these ingredients. The French Toast itself had a crunchy exterior, with a twinge of sourdough that one would anticipate, but then a split second later a sweetness that supported, but not overwhelmed, the bite. And that was just the bread. It is served with ricotta, but a bitey, creamy ricotta. And the lemon curd puts all other lemon flavored things to shame. Texture was that of a lemon pudding. Sour. Lemon up front. No doubting it's ingredient. And berries. :). So, if you've been paying attention, a bite with all of these was powerful: crunchy French Toast with a punch of lemon, subtly calmed with a creamy ricotta, then finished with a slight sweetness. There should be a movie based on a book about this Sourdough French Toast. Magnificent. The staff was incredibly kind and delightful. I am pretty sure I talked to everyone working the floor. :) The interior gave an "elegance in a warehouse" vibe, much like the prom in a barn that I grew up with. And the bathrooms were eclectic and clean. Do not miss an opportunity to experience this restaurant. It WILL be an experience. You can thank me later!!! :)

    Willa's had a very home-like feel to it. The staff were really nice & attentive. It wasn't overly crowded and the lighting gave me a calming feel. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and the Willa's Tonic. Both were really good. The tonic had a great blend of lemongrass and citrus. The chicken salad sandwich was light and refreshing. Can't wait to come back and try other things on the menu.

    Holy Mac and Cheese!

    @latestartbrewing + @mightyfinetpa in Tampa, Florida…read more Brewery: 598 Late Start Brewing Company opened in September of 2024 and shortly after Mighty Fine joined their kitchen space, making it the perfect place to stop when you're in Tampa (Wednesday-Sunday). They offer a solid selection of beers made in house as well as coffee and breakfast in the mornings! @pedals.and.pintglasses and I took advantage of their Lunch/Dinner menu for some incredible double smashies! Owners/Brewers Jordan Copher, Tyler Sankey, and Nick Streeter really made something special here off Cass Street. Chef Nathan Hardin's menu is quite delicious too! We had the Spicy Pimento to start: Spreadable Cheese using Habanero Cheddar served with Fried Saltines. We also had the Classic Boi and Deluxe Boi double with Waffle Fries. The smash burger is unreal! Great flavor, cheesy, awesome sauce, solid skirt... everything you could want in a double smashie! Beers: - Encore Light Lager 4.5% - Markle's Sparkle Grapefruit Sour 4.5% There is a beautiful patio out to the side of the building and out front. You can belly up at the bar or dine and drink inside too! They offer event space rentals and catering as well! Breakfast and coffee start being served at 8am! Loved this place and will definitely make it a repeat destination! #latestartbrewing #tampa #mightyfine #brewery #doublesmashburger

    Pretty much everything is unique and awesome here! Great service, nice indoor and outdoor seating…read more Nice little place you wouldn't really know was there from the outside. The Quarter Cheese Patty Melt - sourdough, double patty, american, swiss, grill onion, fry sauce? Kind of a burger, kind of a grilled cheese, kind of something else. The MANGO THAI TEA FRUITED SOUR - real mango, coconut, and thai tea. Stunningly bright beer for sure. Or is it really "beer"? I don't care because it was an adventure!

    The burgers at TNT Burger are really good! The location is a bit out of the way and not the easiest…read moreto get to, but the staff are nice and the food comes out quickly. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area and craving a great burger. Food truck style spot, very casual!

    This is a good place for a big, Instagram-ready burger…read more My son really wanted to try TNT burger having heard about it from friends. We went, hoping to have a great burger and support a local business. They don't serve alcohol, and they only offer one flavor of milkshake (Nutella on the day we visited). You order at the counter if eating out, or the server will take your order from your table if you are dining in. There are only a few seats in the whole place, and the largest table is for 6. I ordered a nacho burger. My daughter ordered a side of fries and the quail eggs. My son ordered the COVID-19 burger. My husband ordered a classic cheeseburger with a side of fries. The food took a reasonable amount of time to come out. The server was running the cash register, taking orders, and delivering food, so the food came out one plate at a time in between his other work. My daughter's quail eggs were overboiled and served cold. She ate them all, but they were pretty blah. The fries were good. We only received one order, rather than the two. Not sure where the miscommunication was in the kitchen, the server was surprised and confused when we pointed it out when the check came. My burger was excellent. It was salty and crunchy and cooked to a medium as requested. My only complaint was that the bun was served cold. If you can't grill or toast it, at least steam it so it isn't cold? My main complaint is the price is closer to a real restaurant price, but the restaurant setting is more like a fast food place. I'm not sure that sitting in very uncomfortable seats while ordering from a folding paper menu justifies prices double that of Shake Shack or BurgerFi. The burgers were good, but I'd also like the ability to drink a beer with my burger, which I can do at Shake Shack or BurgerFi.
