Graze South Tampa — Restaurant in Tampa

This place is a great option for brunch. I stopped by on my way to Trader Joe's on a Saturday morning. There were only 2 other couples dining in at the time. It's such a beautiful space with all different types of seating. There are communal high top tables, bar seating, low tables, lounge seating, and half booth seating towards the back of the café. It will please anyone's seating preference. You just walk in and place your order, they give you a number, and then you pick your choice of seating. They will bring the food out to you when it's ready. I asked about the coffee. So, they don't have many coffee choices. But they do have a seasonal cold brew. The very helpful staff member gave me a sample of the lavender honey cold brew from Ginger Beard Coffee. I didn't even have to ask. I thought that was great customer service. I did want a flavored coffee, and that was all they had. It was nice to be able to sample it before ordering it. Well, it had a wonderful flavor. I'm usually allergic to lavender. It's a mild reaction and usually I get teary eyed and have throat and sinus issues, but I didn't have any reactions with this coffee. It was worth chancing it for me. I'm glad I tried it.

I took a few pictures while I was waiting for my food to be delivered. It's really a lovely place. I love the floral walls and black and white floor tiles. It's slightly feminine, but also incorporates a modern décor. They have a coffee/water station where you can get refills of hot coffee as well as napkins, creamer, and other accessories. I sat in the half booth seats which were comfy enough for me. The food arrived and it was a huge Seared Ahi Tuna Tartine with a beautifully dressed salad. I think the salad had the citrus champagne vinaigrette. I could taste a little lemon. It was beautifully presented, and a good quality meal. They used a large slice of multi-grain toast as the base of the tartine. It has guacamole, spinach, pickled carrot & onions, and scallions. Some pieces of the blackened tuna were a little salty when tasting it by itself, but it all balanced out together when mixed with the bread and other toppings. There was a Thai peanut sauce drizzled on top of the tartine which also added more flavor. It was really good. I'd like to try the tuna in a BYO bowl with the brussels next time.

They serve breakfast all day. They have Graze breakfast bowls and greens & grains bowls for lunch with your choice of protein. They have different tartines to choose from such as smoked salmon which has a dill schmear instead of guacamole. There's a chicken salad one that has a waffle instead of multi-grain toast. That also sounds terrific. They have sandwiches and a la carte items such as maple and bacon brussels. I want to try the brussels. That's next on my list. They have a small wine and beer list as well as a Mimosa and Bloody Mary. Service was great! There were 3 different people who checked on me to make sure everything was going well.

It's located in a strip mall across from Plant High School on Dale Mabry, and near PDQ. The parking in front is not ideal. Trying to get out was kind of tricky. I didn't see the parking on the other side of the restaurant since I was heading north. I recommend you park on the north side of the building with the hand painted mural. I hope they open up a Graze location in...

Graze South Tampa has quickly become one of my go-to spots for a satisfying, elevated comfort meal. The service is incredible and they're super friendly and helpful with suggestions. I even brought my friend visiting from TX here & she really enjoyed her pancakes, eggs, sausage & fresh fruit. The mimosas were delicious too! Everything I ordered was spot on, but I have to talk about the cheese grits that are hands down some of the best I’ve ever had! They were unbelievably creamy, rich, and full of flavor. The texture was perfectly smooth without being too heavy & they paired so well with everything on the plate. Honestly, I’d come back just for those grits alone. 😋

I also had the classic sandwich on a brioche bun, and it was fantastic. The bun was soft and buttery, the eggs were cooked just right, and the bacon & carmelized onions brought it all together in that perfect breakfast sandwich harmony. It was simple but done with care and great ingredients.

And of course, I couldn’t skip Natalie's juices. 😍 Fresh, vibrant, and the perfect complement to the meal. They really rounded everything out. It's clear that Graze pays attention to quality across the board.

From start to finish, this place delivers on taste, comfort, and quality. Whether you're craving something classic or want the best cheese grits in South Tampa, Graze is 100%...

Been here twice. Once on my way out of Tampa and once coming in. Close to the airport. It’s a really good joint.

Nice interior - I always eat at the bar. And yes it’s a real bar - they have booze. Even though it’s really a breakfast joint. But I applaud the combo - breakfast & booze (who says Wheaties is the breakfast of champions?!).

The food is really good. You can eat healthy here or go down & dirty with some fried chicken & waffles that I saw go to a table of North Carolinians. It looked amazing and they said it was great.

Both times I’ve gone with the breakfast bowl - includes three eggs, a carb base (sweet potatoes for me), a couple vegetables and a protein. You can add extra stuff too, of course.

Washed it down with a bottomless iced green jasmine tea. At the risk of being redundant - it was really good both times. And the service is really pleasant.

If you’re flying into or out of Tampa, or otherwise in the area, I’d check it out -...
