Pacific Counter - Downtown Tampa — Restaurant in Tampa

PC in downtown Tampa?!? Yes, please!!! I’m already a huge PC fan so I was thrilled for the latest spot! My go-to is a build your own bowl or burrito. Love getting the burrito at this new location, because I can eat half, then bring the other half for a quick walk along the riverfront to the playground at Curtis Hixon with our little one!!! The Aloha Whip is also a must-have!!

I have been working remotely since 2020, but for the first time since leaving my downtown office … I finally found a reason I’d willingly work downtown again, haha! The service at PC is great, the food is prepared to order and quickly, and I love the self ordering kiosk … pro tip: it has pictures of everything if you’re a visual person!

Delicious, affordable, quick, great service and central location! If you’re doing anything downtown like seeing a show at the Straz, hanging out at the riverfront, the Glazer museum, or Curtis Hixon … this is a perfect spot to feed the whole family! (Sushi bowls and burritos with sushi tuna and salmon … there are even cooked options like chicken and shrimp … tofu and spicy tofu… and they even serve...

I must say the lady that was helping those customers was extremely patient and let them sample a lot of things! Bc I frequent their st pete location, I knew exactly what I wanted, and my loyalty points was easy to apply to their kiosks!

The food was just as good as I’ve had in the past years in St Pete, and I was able to get a nice table with my wife outside after ordering. The nice lady that was helping the customers at the main register when I ordered was the one who brought our food to the table. She also came and checked on us after a few bites.

All in all, I’m not sure where I can find as much value as we do at Pacific Counter. For $32 my wife and I were extremely satisfied, and she had lunch the next day with...

Pretty negative experience if I’m being honest. I came in yesterday and was not greeted when I walked in. I ordered my food on the tablet and it was brought to me by a nice employee - that was really the only good part. The food was okay - I got a sushi burrito and the nori was kind of soggy but the shrimp was good. It seems like there was some kind of influencer video shoot going on while I was there so that was going on in the background. Maybe that is what took away from their ability to acknowledge my existence. Maybe I came in on an off day but that was...
