Dinner Delivery - South Tampa?
Hey Jennlia,
I dont know if you still need a rec. on this but i figured id respond in case anyone else needs a similar suggestion. i work as an assistant in a law office in s. tampa, and we've been really obsessed with this new spot off S. Dale Mabry called Doormet. (www.doormet.com) Theyre food is amazing and not expensive at all!! EVERYTHING is fresh (the guy behind the counter told me that they even shred their cheeses each day in house to keep it fresh)..... nothing is frozen and reheated like so many other places (they actually have one of those legit pizza ovens and a grill).
If you're ordering for a large group like us, you can call in advance to place your order and they have special pricing for groups. Theyre open for lunch and dinner and you can eat in or have it delivered. They just updated their menu and have an even more diverse selection. i am LOVING their caprese salad and pizzas right now, but they also have sandwiches, pastas and stuff from the grill.
Hope this helps!!
Tampa Recommendations
hi guys and girls. the length of these replies got intimidating but im a hardcore tampa lover (people tell me i love it so much i should run for mayor someday heh).... i also love food, so i just joined!!! apologies if any of the below suggestions have already been mentioned but just thought id throw 'em out there... ive lived in tampa my whole life, and ive been really pumped about all the new stuff that's been opening up in the area.... here's 3 places that are reasonable/low key that are relatively new to the area ....
1) Doormet (www.doormet.com)... this place is really laid back and i am digging the prices. they serve beer and have a tv, but its very casual otherwise. i think they focus on take out and delivery more than dine-in.... but theyve changed their menu a few times and kept it diverse.... im loving their pizzas right now but pumped to try some of the new items like their burger and scallop dishes... so far so good
2) The Bungalow (www.thebungalowtampa.com) -- this is more of a going-out Friday night scene... this place reminds me why i love tampa... laid back beachy vibe...live band... seafood etc. my kinda scene (yall make disagree) though i hope it doesnt become too trendy/cheesy ..... it's not earth-shattering food, but u cant go wrong with classics like fried grouper sandwich...
3) Hula Bay .... (hulabayclub.com).... this place was a cool vibe for a saturday or sunday during the day. a bit "pretentious" ... like i had transplanted myself into a meager attempt at replicating a trendy south beach spot.... that being said, i am a florida girl and will love just about any place on the water -- esp if i dont have to drive all the way out to Frenchy's on the beach to get it!! live reggae music and good frozen cocktails :)
anyway hope these help!? i know u leave soon but figured other chowhounds may look at this thread too..... lemme know ur thoughts/feedback!!!
