The Most Scrumptious Fast Food in Tampa

Burger Culture

★★★★☆ 3.9 (587) • $$

"While visiting Tampa I always love to try places that I don't have back home. I was in the mood for a really good burger . So when I looked up best burgers in Tampa I found burger culture . Now this resturant has more than one location but this location I was closest too and it was a food trunk . So to begin they have a diverse menu that not only contain burgers, but also hotdogs and sandwiches. I got the Avo burger and my friend got the bacon cheeseburger. We both ordered our burgers with sides but you also get a side of coleslaw instead.The food trunk is nestled in a park lot with plenty of tables for seating. The service was great our burger was cooked and served very quickly. My burger was cooked perfectly not too well done and not too much pink .If you are ever in the Tampa area please check them out . I will definitely be back to try more delicious items on the menu."

The Limani

"Our favorite lunch place at the #spongedocks in #tarponsprings. The chicken pita is delicious albeit a bit messy And their Feta fries are perfectly crispy, drizzled with a light lemon sauce, then generously Sprinkled with Feta and Oregano; absolutely craving worthy.They also do Plain fries, Garlic fries and Greek fries as well as Beer Battered Onion Rings (need to try those sometime but how do I justify them and the Feta fries )Everything is so fresh and made to order, very nice people and outdoor only seating with a nice view of the boats moored and the Anclote River. They do only take cash but there is a universal ATM by the ordering window if you forget. Afterwards go for a stroll or shopping along the Sponge Docks. Makes for a perfect afternoon especially this time of year"

Fruitwood Standup Market

★★★★☆ 4.4 (201) • $$

"BEST WRAP in Tampa. They have delicious and super fresh wraps, flatbreads, and salads that make for the perfect summertime lunch. Paired with a Matcha Lemonade and chef's kiss. Their Buffalo Chicken wrap is so good I can't have it anywhere else now. Sit outside and enjoy car + people watching in Hyde Park. There are tons of fans outside so you aren't sweating RATINGS- Food: 10- Vibes: Vibing - Service: 9.5- Drinks: 10"

Mays Alreem Usa Pita House

★★★★★ 4.6 (165) • $

"Wow !! Flavors x10!! The food here is amazing! We ordered a falafel pita and vegetarian platter (falafel) and it was amazing!! You get so much food and it's all made fresh to order. The restaurant is small so we toook it to go but it's authentic and with a homey feel. The service was good and quick. The service was quick And friendly!"

EVOS Feel Great Food-St. Petersburg

★★★★☆ 3.6 (187) • $$

"The food was good, but the prices were really high for what you're getting. I really enjoy going and I used to work here, so it's great seeing the business grow and come out with new creations.The service was also very good. The cashier and I talked at length about changes to the business, he was energetic and patient while I acclimated to the new menu. His name escapes me but he was very nice! Their new flavored lemonaids are long overdue! They also added new milkshake flavors which I was really excited to try. I really love strawberry lemonaid. Theirs wasn't too sweet with real slices of fresh strawberries decorating the top. I got a burger and fries and I did not feel sick after eating it. The fries aren't greasy but are also not dry, and you can add a lot of different ketchups or sauces to dip your fries in. This is somewhere to go during a sale. The prices are very high, understandably but it's just not fiscally feasible to go here at this time."

EVOS Feel Great Food-South Tampa

★★★★☆ 3.6 (161) • $

"Definitely a fun and diet-conscious friendly eatery! Had some time to spare today and enjoy a beautiful day with some good food, so I decided to give this place a spin. I was pleasantly greeted by welcoming staff and there was a vibrant menu available. The place is very clean, healthy for those wanting a great place to have a meal outside of their "new year's resolutions" diet plans. From the crisp environment inside to even the bathrooms, this is definitely earned its spot on the top places to visit in Tampa for cuisine venturing! I had the Wild Alaskan Salmon burger and it was proportioned enough to fill up and was accompanied by a light salad. Great taste and satisfying flavor! Definitely recommend and will be swinging by again"

"Food and service are great. Fresh salads fast is awesome!Drive through is a brilliant idea for getting fresh mixed salads as well as fresh ingredients."

EVOS Feel Great Food-Carrollwood

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (136) • $

"I do enjoy eating at this spot. It's amongst some of the healthiest options in the area. Organic, clean food options. Everything is yummy and tasty!I like the salmon wrap. My daughter likes the kid corn dogs, and those are vegan! We like the shakes too. Inside the place is super clean!! The staff is kinda bland, could smile some more, but they are attentive. Prices are a little higher, but comes with good quality food. Also I got a free shake for doing a survey after my last visit, so that's a sweet perk.I definitely would recommend Evos to everyone! Oh and I didn't realize kids eat free Sundays with an adult meal purchased. Free kids meals are always awesome!"

Kings Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.8 (91) • $

"Hands Down - the best fried chicken ever! Always delicious and fresh & hot. Biscuits are the best!"

Tang's Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.2 (63) • $$

"I was in the mood for Chinese and the name of this place suggested that some Chinese would be on the menu. And there were some Chinese items on the menu, although not very many. Tang's has diverse fast food offerings that include things like burgers, subs, wings, lo mein and "Boba" (bubble) tea. I had the General Tso's chicken "Ultimate Meal" for $8.49. Fried rice and soda were included, but I was able to substitute Strawberry Lemonade for the soda for an additional $1.59. I really enjoyed all of my food, and the lemonade was great too. Even though I loved the General Tso's chicken, I think I'll try the Teriyaki chicken next time I visit this place."

Pepitos & More

★★★★☆ 4 (65) • $

"We legit ordered like half of the menu and the bill only came to $57. Four of us were completely stuffed and had leftovers to take home. The highlight of my meal here were these cheese things (I can't remember what they're called) that put mozzarella sticks to shame. Shame I tell you!!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it! We also had some kind of fries with cheese and cut up hot dogs in it. Also delish. A rice platter with chicken, steak, onions and peppers on top. Amazing! Skirt steak was also tasty. Low key, this place is doing the damn thing. I'll definitely order from here again!"

Dino's Sub and Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.5 (81) • $

"I read some of the reviews. All I can say is I was not disappointed. Portions are huge and the food was amazing. I ordered the Philly, gyro and greek salad. I will 100% be back when I am in this neck of the woods. Dino took our order. He was super friendly and literally knew peoples names and they were walking up to the window. How great is that?"

Garden Gyros

★★★★☆ 3.8 (56) • $

"After returning to our hotel, the Hampton Inn, I had the late night munchies so I walked to the McDonald's next door. Closed. So I walked to the opposite side and the Dunkin Donuts was also closed, but beyond that was this little hole in the wall Garden Gyros. You walk can go thru the drive thru or walk up and place your order. Their menu is varied and reminds me very much of Purple Onion at home. There's everything from hamburgers, fish sandwich, greek salads, to of course gyros. I just went to the top and ordered the combo #1, gyro, fries and drink for right at about $10.There are only about 3 small tables to sit and they could've used a good wiping, but it's either stand or sit and wait for your order. About 10 minutes later I got my food and walked 2 blocks back to the hotel.The pita bread was soft and slightly toasted, filled with grilled lamb seasoned nicely. Also piled in were onions, bell pepper and cucumber sauce. Tasted very good and again reminiscent of Purple Onion or Tazikis. Their fries were made fresh and also very good. Everything quenched my late night munchies! Not bad for $10."

Holy Fry

★★★★☆ 4.4 (41)

"Came in for lunch and still amazing!! And the amount of food you get for the price is good too. The food is hot and fresh. The dining space inside is clean and the owners are just the sweetest people! If you've not been here I ask you why!? Go because you won't be disappointed."

Pasta di Guy

★★★★☆ 3.9 (40)

"Wife and I decided to stop by Pasta di Guy Saturday night. We've never be even though we live mere minutes away. As soon as we walked into the restaurant we both really enjoyed the clean modern look. Very inviting and comfortable atmosphere. My wife ordered the Chef Guy favorite which contains chefs pasta (made from scratch strozzapreti) vodka sauce and Italian sausage. We absolutely loved everything about this dish. The pasta which we've never had freshly made before, was so fresh and tasty and we can see why everyone raves about freshly made. The sauce was light and flavorful. The sausage was perfectly flavorful and made you want more. I ordered the chicken Parmesan with strozzapreti pasta. The red sauce was flavorful and fresh tasting. The chicken was juicy and so tasty. I'll definitely get these two dishes again soon.We shared some breadsticks which were freshly baked with some marinara. The breadsticks were awesome and a must get when you order. Lastly we shared a cheesecake cannoli. This cannoli was amazing. The cheesecake was light and slightly sweet. We absolutely will be getting one again next time we're in. If you haven't tried this place yet you're really missing out. Please if you enjoy pasta/Italian food give this place a try. We'll be back very soon."

Greenlane

★★★★☆ 4.1 (34)

"I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken Caesar wrap and pomegranate lemonade here! The wrap was SAUCY and packed with crunchy croutons. The lemonade was very sweet, but I enjoyed it cause I was craving sugar. I probably would dilute it at home in the future. It was a very affordable meal! Will definitely be back!"

Maggie's Cafe and Smoothies

★★★★★ 4.6 (22)

"I'm so happy to leave an excellent review for Maggie's Cafe! First thing I want to note is the kind staff that you're going to meet here. The second is the freshness, you can rest assured everything is on point here. The third thing is the flavorful food, no matter what I've tried here, I've loved it. Now I understand why this place was referred to me from a friend, Now I want to say try the smoothies, they're all amazing. I love the club sandwich, Italian sub, Mediterranean salad, apple crumb cake and last but not least the potato salad!"

Hangry Joe’s

★★★★☆ 4.4 (21)

"The staff at the register was very friendly, and my husband, a chicken finger fan, was excited to try this spot. I ordered the Sando combo with waffle fries (medium spice). The fries were fresh, crispy, and well-seasoned, but the dry rub on the sandwich wasn't evenly distributed, making the spice level inconsistent. Despite that, I enjoyed the meal and finished it in one sitting, which is rare for me!My husband had the chicken finger combo with waffle fries but found the medium spice too hot for his taste, while I thought it was just right and could've handled the "hot" level. He also noted the uneven seasoning on his meal.What stood out most was how affordable everything was. The restaurant was clean and had a great aesthetic. Overall, I'd come back and hope for a better experience next time--it might've just been an off day."

Culver's

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (51)

"I came with my kids today for lunch during a busy rush. They are down a worker today so it was pretty busy. Just wanted to give a shout out to the employees. These people are basically kids. Teens, early 20s dealing with grown adults whining about how long an order is taking and they just worked their butts off getting everyone's orders. Our food came piping hot and delicious. No complaints from us during a busy holiday week!"

Zaxbys

★★★★☆ 3.5 (28)

"The food is good and the new zen salad is great. The service is fast in the drive thru. They have the best ice for your drinks."

Cali Burger

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (33) • $

"Muy buena la atencion y elaboracion de los alimentos , el sabor muy rico, los jugos excelentes"

Mike's Drive In

★★★★☆ 3.6 (26)

"Long time Bartow icon has a wide menu for a drive-in "to go" food. Prices are mostly fair but there are high priced items. We enjoyed a large burger and a large pulled pork bbq. Sides were good and the wait was reasonable. Didn't like the price on the $7 shake - it was small and nothing special. We would return to try more home cookin' when in the area. They do a big call in business"

Syrian Shawarma

★★★★☆ 4.4 (16)

"Delicious shawarma, beef and chicken! The best in town! Very fresh and tasty. and the real deal! Definitely I will be back. Their kibbeh stuffed with shawarma, it is worth trying!, you won't be disappointed. أطيب شاورما بتامبا"

Cheese Dreams

★★★★★ 5 (11)

"I was in Spring Hills for work and decided to give Cheese Dreams a try. If you love grilled cheese sandwiches, this is the place for you! They have what I like to call "Grownup's Grilled Cheese Sandwiches" with delicious additions like pulled pork or ham. The pulled pork was a home run for me, the barbecue sauce gave it just enough sweet and tang to balance the salt from the pork and cheese. Next time I'll try the 5 cheese grilled cheese! I'd bring my kid here regularly if I lived locally!"

Culver's

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (23)

"We had great customer servixe thru drive thru w the female employee at the board taking my orden patiently and the employee at the window cashing me out Omarie (male) wa soo nice n so polite. Love it . Great food too. .lakeland Culvers"

Zaxbys

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (22)

"My family loves Zaxby's (only second to Chik-fila in our hearts)! I usually wouldn't review a fast-casual joint because they're all kinda the same. But this particular Zaxby's had a great interior decor. It was early in the day, so everything was looking fantastic - but the franchise owner had put a little extra into this location. Beautiful wooden tables, nice Life Proof floors (I have these in my home), and faux brick walls. The normal interior decorations (old memorabilia) was replaced with some clever lighted signage - reducing a cluttered look. I hope more of their restaurants move to this farmhouse style! Oh yeah - the food and the service were great too :)"

Gyros & Seafood Express

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (24) • $

"Umm...it's okay. I'm probably not going to come here again because it's not as good as the other gyro places in the area. The man at the window was very kind but it doesn't make up for mediocre food. I only ordered lemon pepper wings and a rice bowl with garlic shrimp, black beans, and sautéed veggies--however, I replaced the rice with lettuce because I'm limiting my carbs intake. The rice bowl turned salad was fine. I can't judge too harshly because I changed the whole meal into a salad, but I just thought the shrimp and black beans could've been better seasoned. I thought they were both pretty bland. The wings are SWIMMING in grease. They taste good and the flavor is there but you can't get paste the grease leaking everywhere. Maybe I should've had something else like a gyro. ‍"

Subs 'n Such

★★★★☆ 3.8 (12) • $

"I was lost looking for a place to eat during my visit to Lakeland. My GPS was sending me in circles through 15 mph neighborhoods. As I was turning around in a parking lot, I found Subs n Such. A nice lady came out the back door to take my order in the drive thru. I asked her what vegetables were on the veggie sub and she said 'all of them, like pickles, cucumbers, carrots, green olives, black olives, lettuce, tomato, beets, garlic.." There may have even been a few more. On Wednesdays there is a wrap special that includes a free (huge) beverage. My wrap was awesome. All of the fresh veggies blended very nicely together. I'm not sure I could ever find this place again, but I would highly recommend it to whomever does!"

Potbelly Sandwich Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (11)

"Opening today, potbelly sandwiches are just delicious. In the old Oronzo location on highway preserve, we have a new sandwich shop in new Tampa. All hot and different variations of sandwiches for your taste buds. My fav are the wreck and turkey. Don't forget to get their oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Just yummy!"

Clean Eatz

★★★★☆ 4.1 (7)

"Started my Senior Father (85+) on a weekly food regimen pickup of ~ten meals or so to augment his weekly food requirement as he doesn't like to cook too much and was starting to lose weight. He enjoys the flavors and variety as the menu changes weekly. Pricing is structured as the quantity increases, per meal prices decrease. It's a reasonable solution.The staff are always friendly, he uses their App to pre-order & pay so his weekly pickup is a BREEZE!Occasionally he enjoys using his rewards points for a little added bonus, this week he thoroughly enjoyed a Philly Cheesesteak Bowl eating in house while there picking up his regular weekly order. The food is consistently fresh, packaged nicely and easy to warm. I'm very happy to see him eating much better than he used to as he's no longer losing weight and now starting to gain.The restaurant is colorful and hip and offers a very casual comfortable atmosphere.The weekly meals are prepared fresh, never frozen and they also have a large selection of frozen varieties known as "Grab-n-Go" meals for slightly lower cost.Their Tyrone Mall St Pete Location is identical in service and quality and also an excellent choice depending on your personal Preference.If you're a professional working long hours or just want to take a break from cooking certain days, CLEAN EATZ is a great consideration for your culinary needs!A weekly event for Pops for over a year now!"

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 4.3 (6)

"I love stopping into out neighborhood Jersey Mike's. Well it's actually just outside of my neighborhood but you know what I mean. This location in Wesley Chapel off of State Road 54 is clean, fast and friendly. Food and bread is fresh. Your order is made quickly and neat.Plenty of parking as this store is located in a small shopping center. Get your sandwiches folks and have a picnic! You can't go wrong with the #14 Veggie of the #7 Turkey and Provolone add Bacon!"

Potbelly Sandwich Shop

★★★★☆ 3.9 (7)

"The food was great. I usually dislike any form of fast food, this was an exception. Service was quick and good. Choices were varied."

Jimmy John's

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (11)

"This location has super friendly, smiling employees EVERY time I've been there. I've been there about 15 times in the last year (5 times during COVID). I have never had an item missing from my order. I always use the Jimmy Johns app and customize my sandwich every single time and it has ALWAYS been correct. I do not think they have banana peppers or jalapeños but they have something called Jimmy Peppers which are spicier than banana peppers. You can order light (E-Z). Regular or Extra for the toppings on the app. The avocado is more like a thick purée, not guacamole and not whole slices. The Jimmy John's chips are kettle cooked chips and are crunchier than than Lays but don't cut the roof of your mouth like other kettle chips. The cookies are a good size, soft, not crunchy and not chewy. The picture shows the Italian nightclub (with extra mayo) so you can see how thick the bread is withOUT having the middle scooped out (gutted). I love the Jimmy Johns Italian and 9-grain breads. Both are soft and I've never received hard or stale bread at this location."

Taco Toni

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"The BEST authentic tacos in Winter Haven! My dad has been bringing home Taco Toni's for me for a while now. Finally, I decided to venture to the location and try it super fresh. I was not at all disappointed.Although English is limited, the owner/cook was super friendly and listened intently to my order. There are benches that are right next to the food truck itself so that you don't have to awkwardly sit in your car and eat. I was scared to go here without cash in hand, but luckily credit card is accepted here.Most of the tacos with basic meats such as chicken, pork, steak, and beef are $1 each. $1 EACH! You can't beat that price for authentic tacos. Other specialty tacos like chorizo and tongue range from about $1.50-1.75. The additional menu items are also very well priced, but I haven't tried them out yet so I don't know if the prices match the portions. However, catch me trying this place again the next time that I am in Winter Haven (with more pictures of the menu and other foods)!"

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"This is a great location. It's very clean and the service is fast. The sub I had tasted fresh and satisfying. I would eat here again. Jersey Mikes is a great option for fast casual subs."
