🇺🇸 What to Eat in Tampa (2/2 — Main Meals Edition)

Lunch / Dinner Columbia Restaurant Sand Key 🌟🌟🌟🌟 📍 1241 Gulf Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33767 (another branch in the city) 📝 We ordered: “1905” Salad 🥗 Cuban Sandwich 🥪 Lobster Paella 🥘 💬 Review: The salad was amazing! Paella was milder than the one in Spain but still tasty. My brother loved the sandwich—I thought it was just okay. Crabby's Dockside Clearwater 🌟🌟🌟 📍 37 Causeway Blvd, Clearwater, FL 33767 📝 We ordered: Coconut Rice 🥥 Stone Crab 🦀 Caesar Salad Clam Chowder 🥣 Drinks 🍹 💬 Review: Location > flavor. Right across from Clearwater Beach 🌊. Stone crab was tough to crack 😅. Snow crab at the next table looked better! Coconut rice was sweet + yummy. Drinks were coconutty and refreshing. Soup was a bit salty. Sarione Korean Restaurant 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 📍 3102 W Kennedy Blvd, Tampa, FL 33609 📝 We ordered: Bibimbap 🥢 Seafood Pancake 🦐 Sweet Korean Fried Chicken 🍗 Beef Rib Soup 🍲 Black Bean Noodles 🍜 💬 Review: Delicious and generous portions! Bibimbap and noodles were solid. The beef soup was creamy and flavorful. Fried chicken was a win. Kids loved the seafood pancake 👶🏻❤️ Izakaya Tori 🌟🌟🌟🌟 📍 119 N Tampa St, Tampa, FL 33602 📝 We ordered: Eel & Avocado Sushi 🍣 Sashimi Platter Yakitori Skewers 🍢 Uni Sushi Tonkotsu Ramen 🍜 Unagi Don (with salad & miso soup) 💬 Review: Sashimi was fresh. Kids loved the ramen 👧👦. Uni (from Japan) was underwhelming—not as good as our local group-buy. Eel avocado roll was a hit! Fleming BBQ (Flaming Mountain BBQ) 🌟🌟🌟🌟 📍 5104 E Fowler Ave, Tampa, FL 33617 📝 We ordered: Braised Pork Ribs & Trotters 🍖 Lamb Skewers 🐑 Grilled Beef Tendon BBQ Oysters 🦪 💬 Review: The braised pot was tender and flavorful! BBQ was tasty but a bit sweet for me. Oysters were huge and satisfying 😋 #SeriousAboutFood #TampaEats #FoodSavesTheDay #OasisInAFoodDesert
