    Fries
    Isany M.

    Man oh man--these are hands down the best bone-in wings I've had in Tampa so far! I ordered the spicy flavor and let me just say... absolute fire! The wings are big (not those tiny ones some places serve), so you're definitely getting your money's worth. They're fried to perfection, and the sauce clings perfectly to the crispy batter--super flavorful with just the right kick. The fries were also seasoned really well, no complaints there! Service was friendly and welcoming, which added to the positive experience. The ambiance is simple and straightforward--small space where you order right when you walk in--but the focus is clearly on the food, and they nail it. Definitely coming back for another round!

    Visited the Yuppi location in YBOR after realizing the food truck in Brandon was no longer open. I first tried YUPPI as part of an Elite experience and the wings were so Amazing! Flavor was excellent. This visit fell a little short as I felt like the wings were not crispy enough possibly because they are HUGE. Overall the wings and flavor were good but I will def order them well done next time. I advise placing your order ahead of time as they were packed when I visited. The ybor location is at: 1821 E 7th Ave, Tampa, FL 33605 located next door to a tattoo shop.

    It's always a pleasure eating at Yuppi. The service is quick and friendly, the ambience is chill, and the food never misses. Every visit is consistent and worth it. Highly recommended!

    The wings were fried to perfection and the sauce was absolutely delicious. The shrimps were also very large. For sides I got collard greens and macaroni & cheese. The greens were so flavorful! I highly recommend them. For a dessert I got banana pudding. I felt the pudding was lacking bananas and cookies, so I probably wouldn't order that again. Overall it was a great experience and I can't wait to try their food again!

    Massive order of wings and fries!!

    Had to return... again! This place is just too good not to visit at least once a month. I'm gonna start making up the excuse that I need to go to the car wash next door, just to hit up Yuppi more often. The wings were phenomenal, as usual. And this time we tried the shrimp and the sides. Good lord... everything here is excellent. The shrimp was delicious and the potato salad and Mac and cheese were some of the best sides I've ordered at a place like this. They need to come up with a system to let you know your food is ready, without needing to hear your name called out. A text or a screen where you can see your name or something along those lines. It's very hot still when it opens and the sun hits right into the shed with the tables, so we like to wait in the car. Also, they need some sun blades or something to block that intense sun. But all that said... we'll be back... again.

    Found this place by way of the Yelp event. My wife is elite but I am not so I paid for the food. I am happy to support this black-owned business. The staff was very courteous and grateful for the support. The food was very flavorful. I went with the special which included wings, shrimp, Mac and fries. Everything was seasoned well, hot and perfectly crispy. Highly recommend. A little pricier than I expected though. FYI, It is located next in a random lot next to a car wash. If you're not paying attention, you'll drive pass it. It's a bit of a drive from me, but I would return if I'm ever near Brandon.

    Anytime we're in the mood for some wings that absolutely will not disappoint, we think of Yuppi's. The wings are super crispy and the yuppi sauce cannot get any better. But don't sleep on the catfish either! It's a great sized filet and fried to perfection! They recently added a buttery biscuit to the menu that tastes like granny's finest. I've been a customer for years and I'm so glad they're back in Ybor.

    On my recent trip, I was finally able to try the wings. The wings are incredibly crispy and highly flavorful and seasoned without being salty. They must use some type of premium chicken because the wings are big & fulfilling. I usually don't like drums because they are so meaty but it didn't matter here because the crispness is amplified on drums and flats. Amazing seems like an understatement. Definitely worth the hype! I also tried the mac n cheese and cornbread. The sides were decent. Nothing special like the wings or shrimp, just okay.

    I am officially addicted to Yuppi. I think they put addictive drugs in the sauce! Just kidding. Got my fix of 10 shrimp with fries. Easily worth $21.50 with tax (added $4 cash tip).

    When I first heard of this place about a month or two ago, I decided to give it a try. They're located in a food truck next-door to the car wash on 78th St. with outdoor seating (shaded picnic tables) and a truckside shaded area to wait in line. They made sure to have parking in the back grassy lot. I fell in love with the spicy wings right away! Those are my favorite entrée here. Their spicy wings can be described as not really that spicy, but more like a tasty sweet heat. It's similar to a sweet Thai chili sauce, but with different seasonings. A good second would be their fried catfish (good with hot sauce in my opinion). The baked mac & cheese, collard greens, and country potato salad are good to. That banana pudding blew mind and is my favorite dessert from here! Needless to say, it was bussin! I've already made a few trips here and already know what my go-to's are now. it was a little off the beaten path for me, but totally worth it. This place is gonna make me fat, lol!

    Very good wings here! Perfectly breaded and crisp! Definitely coming back for more soon!

    I pass by this place every day but never thought it'd be so good. Line was long just after 5pm but worth the wait. They had music playing outside and the Yelp event we had gave us 10 wings and fries. I also ordered some banana pudding and Mac n cheese. Everything was delicious! On the pricey end but I still think them wings were good. My football season sunday go to!

We tried this place about a year ago, and we had a completely different experience than before. I can honestly say, I won't be back. Not ever. Not even a chance. This place is filthy. The floors, the tables, the bathrooms (the worst I have ever seen), and even the napkin holders. I had immediate regrets upon stepping in based on the lack of cleanliness. The amount of flies swarming was alarming. The service was a zero. The girl working watched us order at the kiosk, the kiosk wouldn't let us pay, we tell her, and she says "oh it doesn't work." So we ordered with her even though she sat around watching us waste our time. I ordered a wing meal, told her I wanted the wings injected, and she said "we don't inject them. I will give you sauce on the side." The menu clearly says they inject wings, social media videos always show it, and also, my last visit there was also injected wings but she would give me no explanation other than "I will give you the sauce on the side." It was bizarre and I couldn't even get a "we don't do that anymore" from her. We ordered a chicken sando. The quality was horrible. Chicken tasted overly processed with bad texture. We also ordered a wing combo. The wings were flavorless. Absolutely flavorless. I ordered medium and there was zero spice. Not even a tad. Apparently they don't inject their wings anymore so there was no flavor in the wings. The quality was pretty bad. Also, the "sauce on the side" that the girl working promised me was not the sauce I ordered, it was the sauce she chose. The whole ordering experience was odd. Definitely seemed like someone who did not care about providing good service, good food, or a sanitary environment. We waited about 25 minutes for our food. About 3 people came in to get pickup orders while we waited and no one else. So we sat and waited while the flys swarmed our heads. The cashier never once tried to come out and clean the filthy tables. She even paused doing nothing for a restroom break, used the filthy restroom, came out with WET hands, and grabbed a napkin from the dusty napkin holder on the filthy table to dry her hands. Then still never wiped down the table caked with food debris. Absolute terrible level of cleanliness, care, and service. It ruined my appetite. After waiting that long, the Mac n cheese was ice cold. 25 minutes for Mac n cheese with a chill to it and no heat. I'm convinced they pulled it out of the refrigerator and forgot to heat it up. This place just had too many misses: a lack of quality, a lack of good service, and a lack of any sanitation standards. Never again. We didn't finish our food. We threw it away outside.

The others are Kentucky and Popeye's who search the world over for the tiniest chickens and serve that. It takes at least 6 pieces to fill you. Hopes forever held high, when I heard about this truck I set out as soon as I could to taste it. Easier said than done since the hours posted on-line are wrong. It took 4 visits to finally find it open. School kids and his personal life are the reason for the tardy hours. I ordered a 12 pc meal with fries and cole slaw. The chicken pieces were massive, 2-3 times the size of fast food chicken, like the ones in grocery stores. While not as good as my homemade it was very good and will now be part of the take-out rotation at home. Fries were very good, previously frozen. Slaw did not have my preference of mayo or flavor profile but the wife liked it. Most days he opens between 12pm and 1pm. He did share his cell number with me so I could call in orders even when he is not yet at the truck and we can arrange a pick up time. Sweet!! Come get you some.
