Located in a small plaza in the Bloomingdale area of Riverview, this hole in the wall spot is a must-visit since it is constantly suggested by the locals.

Serving classic American dishes with a twist, their ever-changing menu is seriously impressive. How about a Schnitzel Cuban sandwich? While their dinner food is amazing, their brunch chicken and waffles are to die for!

Quick local tip: try to get there early for brunch because they are known to run out of this signature dish on weekends.

Be transported to a little New Orleans in the middle of Brandon by checking out Tibby’s. Full of Mardi Gras decor and New Orleans references on the menu, there is no skimping on the party theme.

If you’re not familiar with Cajun food, you have to visit to experience their extensive and authentic menu. We recommend their Jambalaya, which is made completely from scratch. Definitely check out their drinks as well!

Lastly, try to save some room for desserts because they know exactly why you’re visiting–the famous New Orleans powdered beignets. You can actually pick how many you want by the piece, so if you’re stuffed from your dinner you can choose to only have one or two beignets for dessert!
