The Cracked Pepper Cafe 2901 West Busch Boulevard, Tampa, FL 33618

"I wish we could give more stars!!! This place was awesome. There was so much hospitality right when we walked in. The menu was explained thoroughly, and recommendations were given. They gave our children food to feed the turtles!! It was so much fun watching them swim up and eat the food while we waited for ours. Shortly after sitting down, our food came out. Everything was amazing. The proportions were huge. The owner came out to talk with us along with one of the employees who helped us order. We were cleaning up our plates, and they rushed out to assist and insisted we leave the mess for them. The view, the service, the food... everything was spectacular! We highly recommend it."

"Ken is the man he knows everything about the menu and is happy to help with anything if you cant choose. Food was spectacular and the service was too. You'll be telling everyone about this hidden gem after dining here."

"This gem is hidden in a plaza in the back but it is so delicious, the staff is very friendly and the place is also very beautiful. There is a little lake with birds and a fountains. The food is made fresh to order but doesn’t even take that long to prepare. Highly recommend"

"We stopped by after my husband's Moffitt cancer center appointment Thursday with our younger son and all of us just loved it. Super friendly, wonderful selection, cute little lake view outside, definitely a hidden gem and we'll definitely go back when we are able. My husband got the buffalo wrap, my son got the I'm starving breakfast which made him happy and looked delicious, eggs cooked perfectly, big pancakes etc. I had the Nola Po boy and he gave me a different sauce to try which was excellent. We also had chili cheese fries since the special was a chili dog that day and I overheard someone talking about it but we were so full we brought that home but it was yummy too. The rocks are not from there but Moffitt but part of our day too. We are going through a difficult time with my husband battling brain cancer but special times together and him still alive are times we cherish VERY much so we are grateful for our lovely meal together."
