Best American Restaurants in Ybor City

The food was amazing as always. Our server (I can't remember his name) was wonderful. He was knowledge about the menu, great personality and never left us waiting for anything. I brought someone who'd never been there before and they will definitely be a repeat customer.

Kelli, our waitrous was fantastic as usual. However, there was a problem when we went to pick up our wine. At the bar cash register, 2 ladies in front of us proceeded to do a wine tasting AT THE REGISTER, preventing anyone from picking up or purchasing wine. They were on their 3rd glass and after 10 minutes in line, another associate shouted over the counter if we had been helped. The 2 ladies were still doing a tasting and the line at the register was now 10 people deep. The associate behind the register SHOULD have known better and moved them to the bar area for their wine tasting.

Great ambiance for the holidays, we really enjoyed the holiday cocktail specials, and the smashburger and fries were delicious! Servers were very attentive and friendly, would definitely return post-holiday!

UPDATED as of 12/23/2024: This was one of my wife’s favorite restaurants, she loves the vibe - and the foods pretty good. However, this most recent experience was highly unfavorable and disappointing. To start, we were seated - then waited over 15 minutes for someone to walk up to our table, she took our drink orders… she then went to grab our server. I thought nothing of it, because we are so used to high caliber service here… so we looked past it. An hour goes by, and we have seen our waiter between 4 or 5 times. The other tables around us - their waiters were very present and visited their table every few minutes. We rarely order alcohol, but our drinks were not as great as we remembered. However, the food was incredible (awesome job to the kitchen)! I then was brought a Diet Coke, when I ordered a regular coke - so there were just mishaps all over the place (besides the kitchen). I then sat and waited over 20 minutes for our waiter to come back by so I could pay the bill. I ended up going to the hosts to ask for our waiter, and it still took longer than I thought it should for him to come to our table. I am typically a VERY generous tipper, and for the first time in over 10 years I tipped below 20%… my wife was utterly shocked - because she had never seen me tip that low. Things took a turn when I received a call from the manager because of a thumbs down on the survey as I paid the bill. She apologized profusely and stated would have a coaching with the gentleman serving our table. She truly understood how they fell below par, given our previous experiences there. She stated she would send me a gift card (via mail), and text me so I would have her contact and to let her know the next time my wife and I were coming. Update: My wife and I received the gift card in the mail, and will return very soon. Thank you American Social for making this right, I appreciate it.

Chef O was chef’s kiss!!!! She was a breath of fresh air after not receiving the best service from our waitress
