Armature Works
We’ll be here on Sunday for brunch at the Heights Public Market, but there are also a few full-service restaurants you might want to try. Full-service restaurants include: Stones Throw, M. Bird, Oak and Ola, Steelbach, and Ulele.
Sparkman Wharf
Located Downtown on Tampa's waterfront, this is a great place to hang out and grab a casual bite. It is also kid and dog friendly. There is a biergarten, over 10 food concepts (including Murph's Barbecue!) and live music on the weekend.
Tampa Riverwalk
The Tampa Riverwalk is a lovely way to see the city on foot. It stretches 2.4 miles along the Hillsborough River from Armature Works to Sparkman Wharf. There are plenty of places to stop and check out in between, like the Tampa Museum of Art (TMA), Glazer Children’s Museum, and the Sail Pavilion — a 360-degree open-air waterfront bar.
Hyde Park Village
This is a very pretty area to stroll, shop, and eat.
King State
Voted one of America's Best Coffee Shops in 2019 by Food & Wine! It’s open late and serves a lot more than just coffee. Grab a beer, glass of wine, and a bite. We love the grits and balsamic roasted vegetable sandwich.
SuperNatural Food & Wine
You gotta try the donuts. They’re delightful (and vegan). This tiny spot located Downtown is a good takeout option for breakfast or lunch with plenty of vegan options. Also, wine — as the name suggests.
Thai Island Restaurant
Legit Thai food and family-owned and operated for nearly two decades. The owners, Clay and Penn, graciously greet and wait on you while Penn's mom, Pat, works her magic in the kitchen.
Lee's Grocery
There are a few great places for pizza, but this one is our favorite. We love the crust (it's sort of like sourdough), the wings, and old-school jams. Other options: Cappy's, Hampton Station, and Santoro's.
Willa's
One of our favorites! Great drinks, sharable plates, and really good rotisserie chicken.
Willa's Provisions
Willa's daytime spot! This sweet little cafe has indoor and outdoor seating, excellent coffee and espresso drinks, a limited breakfast menu, and grab-and-go options.
Psomi
Mmm Mediterranean... They're open for breakfast, lunch, or brunch. Don't pass up the pastries. We recommend ordering several to-go.
Rocca
Fabulous modern Italian cuisine! Reservations are highly recommended. Located right by Armature Works.
