If you are in the Tampa, FL area and looking for some great black-owned food options, here is where you’d want to go.
1. YuppiTPA- located in the historic Ybor City you will find Black American Food at it finest. The best wings and shrimp with the famous Yuppi sauce added to it is *chefs kiss* the customer service was A1 and the staff is very friendly. I’m telling you… run to this spot!
2. 7th and Grove- Also located in the historic Ybor City District, not only do they provide an amazing Brunch and great Southern Comfort Food… they are also known for their upscale vibes whether it be day or night. Adult friendly space where you can celebrate mostly anything. Ps- I got engaged here on Karoake night :)
3. Jerk Hut- are you ready to go to the islands mon? Indulge in some of your favorite island dishes, from oxtail stew, jerk chicken, Jamaican beef Pattie’s and a sip of rum punch. You won’t be disappointed!
4. Island Crew Restaurant- serving up fresh island cuisine daily. Experience some of the best combinations of authentic island cooking. My favorite is the steamed red snapper topped with onions & bell pepper.
There are many more around the town, but these are some of my absolute favorites.
