A little False info
Allthought the food is good, it's quality has declined in the past few years. The owners aren't from Ybor city ,more like Tampa Heights. And there are no old family recipes. most of the recipes there are from a cracker chef named larry powers. who is no longer there. the food is good but, set the record straight. i bet if you asked them, the owners couldnt tell you one of there "OLD FAMILY RECIPES"    [12 Jan 2008 21:39:23]
