Top Best American Restaurants in University

"Another Gonzmart family production, Ulele turned an old water works building into a historic fine dining restaurant right on the Hillsborough River. By revitalizing a derelict stretch of Tampa’s riverfront, Ulele has brought new life to the Tampa Heights neighborhood and inspired other businesses to follow suit. Named for a young Native American princess, the menu uses indigenous flavors and ingredients."

"An ode to Princess Ulele, a First Nations princess, Ulele (pronounced You-lay-le) serves artfully spiced Native American cuisine. We recommend the Alligator Hush Puppies followed by the Ulele Burger (lunch menu) or Florida Pompano (dinner menu). Location – Airside C, Gate C34"

"On Saturday June 18 I had dinner reservations for 6, which ended up being 4. The staff was very accommodating. Meal and drinks were great, as always."

"Part bookstore, part restaurant, and part gift shop, virtually every corner of Oxford Exchange is picture-worthy. From the beautiful staircase to the giant windows that lead into the popular restaurant, you’ll have no shortage of places to snap cute pics while strolling through. Sip on champagne or cocktails from the gorgeous Champagne Bar while you browse the curated gifts at the shop, or opt for coffee from local favorite Buddy Brew Coffee."

"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."

"Dough, the sweet sister to Datz, is not afraid to “go there” with flavor. The Apple Fritter, Vanilla Cake, Cinnamon Cake, Jelly-Filled, Cereal and Maple Bacon Bar are all unhealthy classics that are begging for ice cream a la mode, which they will gladly do for you. Also, if you are feeling a little too hype, Dough is serving up some fancy CBD doughnuts in Matcha with Honeycomb Toffee and Acai Coconut."

"For brunch any time of day, Datzis the Tampa restaurant that locals love to visit all week long. They are known for brunch dishes like the Chicken and Waffle Benedict and the Crème Brulee French Toast, but you can also order burgers and mac and cheese. The drink selection is excellent too, with the Mezcal Bloody Mary’s being a favorite of mine, as well as the large selection of local brews."

"At one time or another, almost everyone in town has visited this trendy gastropub and market. The interior is warm and inviting with a funky, industrial vibe and no one stands on ceremony here - flip-flops and shorts are welcome. The food is as comforting as the environment, lifting America's favorite dishes to a whole new level."

"Clear Sky Cafe actually was voted the restaurant with the best dining any time of day!. Located right on Mandalay Avenue (we also love the location in downtown Clearwater), Clear Sky Beachside Cafe is where the locals eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Clear Sky Cafe is known to have upscale gourmet food without gourmet prices and it's served in a relaxed environment with fun vibes."

"If you’re vacationing in Clearwater, you want to have breakfast at the Clear Sky Beachside Cafe at least once. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we love kicking off our vacation with a breakfast here. If you like Bloody Mary’s, you’ll want to start with the Bloody Mary bar."

"One of the restaurants in Clearwater that was most highly recommended to us was the Clear Sky Beachside Cafe. While it is indeed located beachside, it isn’t on the beach. So you won’t be sitting on the sand or facing the beach during your meal."

"This sensational restaurant featuring global flavors is situated in Clearwater, Florida’s historic Cleveland Street District. Clear Sky on Cleveland provides locals and visitors alike with the perfect destination for excellent food, tasty cocktails, and superb wine. With Chef Bobby Shirley at the helm, diners are sure to enjoy creative culinary elements designed to make their taste buds joyously dance."

"Hooters is the place to be for great seafood, signature burgers and sandwiches, specialty salads, ice cold beer, a full liquor bar and of course, our world famous chicken wings served up in one of our signature sauces. With a casual, upbeat atmosphere and plenty of HD TV’s, you’ll have a front row...Mehr"

"A fabulous meal with a touch of class, this fine dining steak house specializes in prime aged beef along with large portions of vegetables, desserts and excellent wines."

"If your kids are older or if you’re looking for a dressy night out, head for Bonefish Grill. Although the interior looks suited for adults, the restaurant is well-prepared for children. While you enjoy steak or a spicy tuna bowl, your little ones can munch on popcorn shrimp or grilled tilapia."

"From curries to Pad Thai and signature sushi rolls, it’s the perfect set of dishes to share amongst friends. This intimate sushi spot will definitely become a regular spot for you and your friends – for both sushi and traditional Thai dishes!. Don’t miss out on their boba drinks as well, it’s the perfect dessert snack to take home with you, if you’re not already stuffed that is!"

"Six Ten Brewery receives rave reviews from locals for its great beer, comfortable, family-oriented atmosphere and friendly staff members. Located in an industrial area of Tampa, this is the read deal, and the small on-site brewery can be viewed from the simply decorated and unpretentious tasting room where you can gather with friends, play games, and enjoy a beer. They do not serve food, but food trucks are frequent visitors and you are welcome to bring your own grub."

"The Wild Rover Pub and Brewery gives you that authentic English Pub atmosphere with a brewery to boot. This family-owned and operated pub and brewery is located in the Tampa neighborhood of Westchase and specializes in British-style beer and cask ales. Their hand-crafted ales and lagers include popular brands such as the Let it ESB Special Bitter, the chocolatey Hello Lexie Lou American Stout, and the Sisters Belgian Ale to name a few."

"Zydeco Brew Works is an industrial-chic hangout for craft beer, cocktails & New Orleans-style eats, from po'boys to gumbo. They brew 12 of their own local craft beers and these bubbly bottles are packed with flavor!. Try one of their Tried N' True, Wildlife or Dark Side brews that are crafted right there in Ybor City!"

"Trading the swamp for the bayou, Zydeco’s Ybor City facility transports guests straight to New Orleans. The beer is great, to be sure, but it’s the po’boys, gumbo and shrimp ‘n grits that’ll keep you coming back for more. Grab a stool and enjoy the lively atmosphere.1902 E 7th Ave"
