Top Best American Restaurants in Tampa

"Ulele is a popular restaurant located on the northern end of Tampa's Riverwalk. The menu is inspired by the indigenous people of Florida and brings together fresh and local ingredients in unique flavor combinations. While the menu is changed seasonally, past examples include a deconstructed seafood pot pie, Yellowfin Tuna crusted with pumpkin seeds, and alligator hush puppies."

"To many, Oxford Exchange is the place to be—especially if you’re a University of Tampa student. Built in the same building that was once the Tampa Bay Hotel in 1891, Oxford Exchange is far from your normal coffee shop. Oxford Exchange is a place where people can meet, mingle, work in solitude or peruse its fine architectural details."

"This curated collection of home decor, unique finds and delectables is as interesting as the building itself—the former stables of the Tampa Bay Hotel circa 1891. Browser beware: Stroll through this stunning venue near the University of Tampa and you will stop to look at everything."

"A bookstore meets a knick-knack boutique, tea bar, coffee and pastry bar, champagne bar, and restaurant. I love the aesthetic of OE. They serve breakfast, brunch, and lunch items on the restaurant menu."

"The restaurant has two stories with two full bars and seating. The owners call themselves ‘shamelessly unapologetic flavor crusaders’ with Datz as their playground and proudly state that ‘ordinary belongs in a dictionary, not in a restaurant.’ Snack on some Sriracha popcorn while you wait for mac and cheese stuffed meatloaf and flights of bacon."

"With its fantastic menu and Americana-inspired setting, Datz is a great place for kids and adults. Let your little ones loose on a plate of chicken and waffles or a Chicago hot dog while you indulge in poke tacos or a rich short rib and grits bowl. The menu also features salads, sandwiches, and burgers, each with a funky twist."

"If you’re looking for seafood for breakfast, Clear Sky Beachside Cafe has you covered. Crab, Salmon or Lobster eggs Benedict or omelets are on the menu. You can even get a seafood crepe."

"Located inside the Hyatt Regency hotel, SHOR offers a fine dining experience that still manages to be family friendly, and shorts are acceptable attire. Parents will appreciate the children’s buffet, which includes kid-approved staples like chicken nuggets and hot dogs, priced equivalent to your child’s age (so $3 for a 3-year-old, etc.). The adult menu is more sophisticated, with oyster starters and fried calamari made from slabs of giant squid, followed by whole snapper either grilled, fried, or prepared Asian-style in the open kitchen."
