Fold Armature Works

My buddies and I are back in Tampa for our annual golf trip, we had a little extra time to check out Armature works and the river walk area of downtown. Armature Works is located at the start of the river walk, comprised of restaurants, bars, and small local vendors. It was very lively on a Sunday morning, great vibe and family oriented. Definitely worth a visit to grab a bite or go for a stroll.Best,Charlie

This will always be a great spot for a good plan, whether it's during the day, in the afternoon, or at night. It's very versatile, offering all kinds of food and drinks. Delicious empanadas are recommended at Empamamas, a date night or hangout with friends at M Bird, and tasty fried calamari or pizza at Oak n Ola. You can watch the sunset or take a walk with your dog around the area, a perfect Sunday plan for some beers with your mom. In short, Armature Works is always a good choice.

Not vegetarian friendly.Buddy Brew is great always, get their coffee (skip the old dry pastries) and tip them well. Food-wise this is a huge let-down for vegetarians. Only a couple places have non-meat options and they're underwhelming.

We visited Armature Works for the first time during a day trip to Tampa, and we were thoroughly impressed. The variety of dining and beverage options is outstanding, offering something for everyone. We were also glad to see how much seating there was, both indoors and outdoors. There were eight of us, and we each chose something different--everyone was happy with their meals!After eating, we enjoyed a relaxing stroll along the waterfront, taking in the beautiful views. The entire experience made for a perfect outing, and we definitely plan to come back!

So many food and drink options as well as beautiful views and walking paths. We come here often for dinner and cocktails and just to hang out. Great location!

Love coming to Armature Works. Love their pizza and dumplings place so far. After eating go take a walk on The Riverwalk. So excited to come back and try some of the other food court restaurants

This place was so clean, inviting, and had great energy. The vendors are very friendly and open to answer any questions about the menu.It was my first visit and it was really hard to choose which food stall to get lunch from but we ended up at the Empanada stall. They had some fun flavors and we tried each of them. I personally liked the fresh prince and the chicken one. The Tampa empanada tasted very similar to the burger one because of the strong pickle flavor. I loved the queso and pico together. Overall everything was good. It's definitely a great place to hangout and grab food and drinks. Me and my boyfriend enjoyed some sangrias from another restaurant stall. I can't remember what it was called but the drinks were delicious and had a kick of liquor. We played checkers outside until we couldn't stand the heat. I would definitely come back here and try another stall out.

I love the great selection of places that are located in Armatureworks. They have so much to choose from sushi, pizza, tacos, gyros, and more! The ambiance is great; finding a table to eat at is always better. They do have seating areas outside however we are in middle of Summer in Florida which is so hot, so I prefer eating inside :) Depending on what spot you choose to go, you may have to wait longer than others.

For anyone visiting the Tampa Bay area, Armature Works should be on your list of places to visit. Armature Works is a food court style fun spot! I have eaten at almost every restaurant within, but M.Bird by far is my favorite. It's a trendy rooftop bar that provides a beautiful backdrop of downtown and the Hillsborough River. Service is great and quick in any of the restaurants too. On the weekend, there are various events such as Rides by the River. You can see a variety of old to new cars and they have food trucks besides the restaurants indoors. If you show your car, there is no charge which is nice because parking can be expensive if you can not find a metered spot. Armature Works is a definite must go...it's a staple in Tampa.

I love food halls. @armatureworks_tampa is a great one. A huge variety of different food vendors ranging from sushi to BBQ. It's at a beautiful location right on Tampa's scenic riverfront. After doing a couple of laps deciding on what to eat, we landed at Butcher and BBQ, mainly because you can smell the smoking meats from the parking. We got the weekend special; smoked short ribs and dill pasta salad. Both were delicious. The meat was tender, and the smell intoxicating. The dill pasta salad was a great diversion from the richness of the meat. Armature Works is a great use of space. After eating, we sat and listened to some live music and enjoyed each other's company. Definitely a place to check out if you have a group and can't agree on one place to eat.
