Aurelia TraubAugust 16, 2017They have amazing burgers however little did we know they have brunch there too I had the grits dish and it was amazing
Favorite restaurant! Menu changes weekly. Burger is always unreal. If Poutine, Pork Bellly, or Beef Tounge is on the menu- get it! Also have great veg options. No reservations needed for the deck.
Johnny CianiFebruary 26, 2013If you're looking for a place that's stands apart from all others in Tampa this is your place then. Delicious,Rustic and Simple food that's as comforting as your Grandmother's Chicken And Dumplins!!
Jim RolloMay 5, 2013Sweet Breads and Fried Chicken Liver sliders were amazing! Make sure to get a little bite of all of the items on the plate in each fork full. Taste explosion!
Will GibsonFebruary 9, 2014Food is pretty good too, though perhaps a little 'frou frou' for most tastes. Be sure to check out the menu online the day you plan on going, since they change their menu weekly.
We loved eating here! Great selection of craft beers, wine and food from local farms. Can't wait to move to Seminole Heights just to have this gem within walking distance.
You may think at first that this is one of those foo-foo places. But everything will exceed your expectations. Tomato soup, hanger steak, and the Myakka greens salad were all superb.
Wendy DFebruary 11, 2019Good beer and wine list..cocktails are very creative...pimento cheese app isn’t worth the money..tiny scoop of cheese with a few pickled veggies
Gabbie PapazovFebruary 10, 2014Perfect spot for brunch. Be sure to sit outside on the deck and try the manmosas!
Marlon AlaanFebruary 7, 2016Reportedly, they change their menu weekly so you may not enjoy Li'l Kim Jun Ong like I did this Super Bowl Sunday! 😜 So good! 😋
TBOcomJune 21, 2011The James Beard-nominated Refinery's menu changes each week, depending on what's available locally from sustainable sources and at the highest quality, but you can count on the kitchen's creativity
Brittany WurdemanAugust 3, 2012Great atmosphere! Fun menu. Even though it's out of the norm, everything is always delicious! Wish they had a fan on the upstairs deck though!
Amazing as always! Such a cool place to hang out and the food is always really good and something I have never had before.
Candy WatsonOctober 13, 2011My husband surprised me and took me here for one of our date nights.... He has outstanding taste. This place is awesome for couples, not really for the family
TristanJanuary 3, 2016One of Tampa's James Beard Award winners! Unique dining experience eating in a converted home.
HaileyApril 18, 2013Delicious! It's odd how they do the menu but it was great and great service as well!
BethFebruary 10, 2013Tofu appetizer and entire meal was great; sit upstairs though the dining room is stuffy and you reek of the place after
Jamie GAugust 1, 2012You gotta love a restaurant that serves beverages in a mason jar. Not to mention they support local farms.
Scott RienbeckFebruary 25, 2012A much better place to take a date than Olive Garden. If it's a nice night have a drink up on the roof.
Ethan LevittSeptember 19, 2012If you are in Tampa and want something healthy, fresh, and delicious, come here.
Become friends with the upstairs bartenders. They tell really good stories and have good beer knowledge.
Matt RobertsMay 6, 2010So these folks change their menu on a weekly basis, but if you see the chicken liver pudding, don't even ask, just get it. Love, the Ninja.
Try the Mojo Pork Belly - Mojo Pork Belly – bacon powder tostones, chayote, red onion, serrano, cilantro, citrus gastrique
- one of the very spots in town using local sourced ingredients!! amazing selection on menu.
Daddy's Favorite..ummm good. Get there early on Sunday!
Katie DelmarJune 26, 2011Escargot was great. Chick pea panisse wasn't anything special. Gotta love their beer and wine selection though.
Libby GodloveNovember 28, 2014Seriously Tampa, so bad. The carrots were deep fried greasy sad representations of what could have been. Terrible fries - how do you screw up fries?!?! Learn to season. Avoid, if you are true foodie.
