Reviews of 7th + Grove
Tonya Proctor
First time visiting from Orlando and I'm glad we gave this spot a chance. Loved the fact that they had security. Ronnie was a great server to us, he was very nice and attentive. Everyone that worked there seemed like they actually wanted to be there which is something I rarely see. The food was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I loved the presentation. They played r&b and hip hop music which was a plus. We did have to wait in the line for a while but I didn't mind because it was worth it. If I could've smoked here I would've been in pure bliss just because the food and the vibes were on point. The place is urban with a bit of class so I won't bring my thuggery to the establishment and honestly it would be unnecessary. Next time I'm in Tampa, I'm stopping by
Carey Smith
This place is the freaking bomb!!! Good vibes, excellent service and phenomenal food. We had 7 dishes and all were out of this world flavor. For apps we had Cuban Egg Rolls, Jalapeño Cornbread and Fried Green Tomatoes and all were awesome! For entrees we had the “Tell Me Something Good” seared salmon & shrimp and “Rock The Boat” Creole catfish. Both were unbelievable! For dessert we had “Rock Steady” pecan banana pudding and “Hit Different” Cuban bread pudding which are out of this world! Kudos to the chefs! This place is special!!!

My best-friend and I tried to get there early since we didn’t make reservations and heard it was a very popular spot! Luckily, we got there at a good time and got seated right away! My best-friend pointed out on their website it states no reservation brunch but in the reviews they really are pushing it and kind of makes you feel bad for not having one upon arrival, which is a little confusing. Our waiter was AMAZING and had us laughing the entire time! The food was amazing especially the devil eggs they were top tier. The vibes of the place was nice and music was not overly loud…you can tell it’s a popular spot because not even 30 minutes of us leaving out there was a long line outside of the door!! So if you go early or make reservations! Would definitely be back!

Shout out to our server Ronnie !
He was fast , attentive & organized even with our large party of 13. I was staring at the menu for a good 10 minutes trying to decide what i wanted to eat , he came & gave me some recommendations to make the decision a little easier for my indecisive self lol. He really went above & beyond to make sure we had a good time .
The food & drinks were SO good & packed with flavor , i ended up taking my leftovers back to VA with me !
The manager stopped by our table to make sure everything was up to par which we appreciated.
Decor & ambiance were definitely a vibe. We will for sure be back for brunch when we visit Tampa again . 10/10 !

We came here on a Sunday late morning for brunch and as soon as we walked in the vibe hit us. Nice music and art, a very cultural experience. The food was amazing! We had oxtails and grits, shrimp and grits, catfish nuggets and pork rolls for appetizers. The service was excellent. No complaints whatsoever. Definitely a must try!

I visited this restaurant with friends for a birthday brunch. The restaurant has two sides, buffet or menu ordering. We sat on the menu ordering side. The decor is bright and eye-catching. The ambiance sets a cool vibe and I really enjoyed the feel of the place. There was music playing on our side of the restaurant, the buffet side has a DJ and is more of a brunch party vibe, our menu order side was somewhat laid back.
Our waitress was attentive and promptly brought drinks, appetizers and food. We had several different appetizers and entrees at our table and the over-all feedback was good. The chicken and waffles was a hit for everyone. I was full after a drink and appetizers so I ordered sides for my meal. I was not blown away by the macaroni and cheese, gouda cheese grits nor collards. Although everything seemed hot and fresh, there was this odd flavor/seasoning in each dish that made them kinda all taste the same. I sampled the chicken and waffles and would definitely order that next time. We enjoyed our visit.
Rose Simons
The spot. The security staff was professional and funny. The atmosphere was very nice. The DJ was absolutely amazing 💯. YaYa was our server and she was friendly and very helpful. The food was southern home cooking and the chef was smooth. Everyone approached us with a very warm attitude and personality including one of the managers named Jarvis. The only things that I would work on is the restrooms and expansion because you are definitely doing it right. We didn't want to leave.
Jay H
Our food was delicious and our server was very good and attentive. I loved that this is a Black owned business. I would've given 5 stars, but the alcoholic drinks were a little weak. The atmosphere and music was very nice on the lounge side, but unfortunately we didn't get a chance to enjoy it because everyone was asked to leave at 9:45 due to a private event getting ready to start.
Pia Smith
The staff were extremely accommodating to our large party of 30! The food was excellent, with an large variety of soul food choices. The portion size of each meal was totally appropriate for the price.The music was loud but enjoyable, better acoustic baffling would help. JoJo, the security guard on duty during my visit, was VERY personable and kind to my elderly mother. The entire wait staff was professional, and attentive, anticipating our every need.
Joe Pezzulich
Southern comfort/soul food at its finest. Everything tasted delicious, especially the collards/mac n' cheese mix. Great atmosphere; perfect for date night. Crafted cocktail and wine list. Friendly and attentive service.
Alexis Watson
This is a black-owned business!! The atmosphere was amazing and the food was top notch. There is plenty of seating— they have a bar area as well as fancier seating on the inside with a private nook upstairs as well. The servers were extremely friendly and I received my order quickly. The food was hot, SEASONED, and absolutely delicious. I will most definitely come back to 7th and Grove in the future!
Shemeka Thorpe
Great customer service and vibes. I loved the music. The brunch food was delicious and we received our food in under 10 minutes. The staff was friendly and attentive. This place was recommended to me by 3 other people and I'm so glad went.
Ashley
We had a great time at 7th + Grove! It was my sisters graduation in August and she wanted to go to one of her favorite brunch spots before leaving Tampa! They are always booked so on Saturday when they did not have any reservations for us as a party of 4, they welcomed us to the brunch buffet lounge area which had an array of different dishes biscuits, bread pudding, bacon, grits,shrimp,eggs, sausage, fruit, waffles and mimosas! Everything was in abundance and they even complimented my sister’s buffet meal as a courtesy to them for her graduation which was really sweet! When I’m Tampa again, I will definitely be back! Great food, music, and art.
Crissy Solomon
One of my favorite dining experiences! The food was beautifully plated and incredibly delicious. “Rock the Boat” is a winner and do yourself a favor and just order the “get your roll on egg rolls”!! Our server, Ronnie was very attentive, prompt, and courteous. Would recommend without hesitation!!
Pat
The friendly service and great food made for a winning combination. Brie was outstanding and never kept us waiting for anything...esp the fried donuts. We had 6 different entrées and 4 appetizers...all were delicious.
wilhelmenia ross
Very nice restaurant/Lounge. If your looking for a nice social atmosphere, with good brunch/food your in the right place. The only thing is you'll wait in line for about 45-60 minutes before you ever make it inside. They offer small bottles of water while your waiting, which is nice. The service was good!
Cherry Todd
Food was delicious, drinks are uniquely named and bomb... atmosphere was cool, vibes was there, music on point. Hookah is there as well. Decorations was beautiful inside. Only 1 thing is our waitress was a lil slow with everything.
Cocoa Quita
Amazing experience. The scenery is stunning. There is a side for eating and a side for lounging with a bar. Perfect place for casual group events and wanting to dress up. It was certainly added to the top of my list of go tos.
Shalagh Hunter
Ambience and decor was nice. The service was good as well. I had fried green tomatoes as a starter. The batter on them had really good flavor but overall they were just ok. I had the pasta with salmon for an entree. It could use some seasoning but after adding some salt it did the job. I didn't have an alcoholic beverage. I was with a party of 4.. gratuity is automatically added to all parties. I didn't feel that this meal was worth $75. My dinner portion was kinda small and I was hungry again that night. If you want great food meh.. but if you want to catch a nice vibe check them out.
Synovia Simons
This was not my first visit. It was my first date night here with my fiancé.
We came early, tried to make it to happy hour but we missed it. We did not have a reservation but we were seated immediately. We started with drinks but passed on a starter.
We had the Mariah Moscow Mule which he really enjoyed. I got the Ol’ Smokey Robinson which was supposed to be table side smoked but was not, however the drink was good.
I tried the the What’s Your Fantasy which was very good, the Brussel sprouts could have been seasoned a bit more but overall it was good. My fiancé had the Let’s Stay Together. He enjoy it but said the chicken was not seasoned very well.
We finished with the Rock Steady, which is the pecan banana pudding with golden Oreos with caramel drizzle. We ordered it at the end of our but it took a while for it to come out. I assumed our server forgot about it. When it did come it was not complete either. I asked the server about the caramel and Oreos, she was not sure and asked another person about it. She had them to make us another one to go.
We both enjoyed the food, drinks, and the vibe but was disappointed in some of the service we received especially for $100 evening.
I would return and I do recommend them, I just hope next time will be better.
Tracie J
My first time going to 7th + Grove and it will definitely not be my last! The staff was beyond friendly, they were down to earth they took time to actually talk to you, not just take your order go. The food was so good…my compliments to the chefs! After dinner we went next door to the “club” where they were having a day party. That was so much fun! The dj was good, the service on that side was good too. This was my type of crowd “grown and sexy” No rowdy super young people, everyone was cool and vibing. I’m not in to hookah but they do offer that also.
The only negative comment I have is not all of the bathroom stalls closed, you either have to go with a friend or hope someone will hold the door for you.
Lauren Diane
First time going and the food was amazing! We had the deviled eggs w/ fried chicken on top 10/10! Peach bourbon wings 10/10! Egg rolls OMG 10/10! The raspberry jam that came with it was sooooo good! I got the oxtails with potatoes and mac 9/10. I’ve had better oxtails but it was still pretty good! My husband had the fried chicken sandwich and he loved it! He also had the Snoop Dogg drink 0/10. Unfortunately it wasn’t good! Overall very good and a chill vibe!
Ryon Jason
Always excellent food, service, and vibe. The manager, Jarvis, went above and beyond during the last visit to ensure our experience was top notch. And our server, Kamri, encouraged me to try something new and provided several great recommendations. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants.

My friend and I arrived around 11:08am for Sunday brunch and there was already a line going around the restaurant. The line moved at a decent pace though as we were already snapping pictures by 11:30am! We found a parking spot that was about a 2-minute walk to the restaurant and priced at $1 an hour. Prior to entering the lounge area security asked us how many was in our party. We told them two and there was a look of concern on his face. He went inside and mumbled something to the “hostess” who then motioned us to “sit over there.” My friend and I were confused as we did not know where “there” was, so we asked her. She told us to have a seat at the bar.
The inside is aesthetically pleasing. The vibes, décor and music were on point! In the time that we were there I heard a combination of Konpa, soca and rap. I also love the fact that their items are named after popular artist and song titles.
I had the “Ari Lennox” as my first drink, and it was amazing. The drink had the perfect amount of sweetness and liquor—I do not think they cheated at all in this aspect. My second drink was frozen, and I selected it because it sounded interesting. It gave me a nice buzz, but it wasn’t my favorite.
The concept for the “Sir Greendown” was great—tomatoes and goat cheese just happen to be two of my favorite things. However, the execution was not so great. While the tomatoes were good, I do not think they were crispy enough. They were super soft when bitten into and I have had my share of fried tomatoes—also the tomatoes were red, not green. For my entrée I ordered the “Rock the Boat.” Gouda and grits pair so nicely together, and the creole pan sauce really brought everything together. The catfish was cooked to perfection—crispy but not tough at all. I also thought the fried okra was nice.
The only thing that really put a bad taste in my mouth was the fact that the tab included a 20% lounge and service fee. Although I would have tipped 20% anyway, I thought this was incredibly tacky since we were never given a choice as to where we wanted to sit. This information was not disclosed anywhere in the restaurant or the surrounding areas. In addition, their website only mentions tax and gratuity for the brunch buffet.
Brittany Gamble
Beautiful ambiance and a great concept but the execution on the food is lacking. The drinks were just ok, loved the menu names and concepts again but nothing special.
We drove down from Orlando early before a concert so we could eat here before, but when we arrived we were told that they were running behind from brunch and needed to push back the dinner start time back. The manager did offer us a round of drinks on them for the inconvenience so we decided to stay and support. Everyone raved about the Get your roll on appetizer (pretty much a soul roll) so we ordered them and they were blah. Kinda dry to me. The collard greens lacked that down south country flavor and there was no cheese in the mac and cheese, just macaroni noodles. The dipping sauce made them a little better. The devil eggs didn't hit either, if it wasn't for the lil drizzle of buffalo sauce on top it wouldn't have any flavor. The catfish nuggets were probably the best thing we had. They were fresh and the remoulade sauce was good. The oxtails and mash were pretty good as well but one of the oxtails was not as tender as the other two on our plate. I wasn't feeling the fried boneless chicken thighs. They came on top of mac and cheese and collard greens. The mac was alright, had a different flavor to them but they were cheesy. Collards definitely needed some more flavor... the biggest thing that just blew me away was this black owned establishment didn't have any real hot sauce, only Tabasco. Now you can't serve soul food and not have any real deal hot sauce, that's a violation of black code Lol. Now if their food was seasoned so good that you don't even miss the hot sauce then that would've been a different story but unfortunately it ain't!
My friend had the loaded gumbo and she said it was just ok.
I can say that the customer service was great! Malcolm at the bar took good care of us and manager Kay went above and beyond for us. I would go back to the lounge area just to vibe but the food definitely looks better than it actually taste.
Kris Hacker
Loved everything about it! The music, decor, staff, food and vibes was everything. We went on a Friday afternoon. Service was prompt, food was hot and delicious and the drinks were great. I would come back to Tampa just to eat and chill here. After eating we walked around the Ybor strip and enjoyed a little history while walking with the Roosters lol, ifkyk. Amazing job to the owners and staff.
Steve Jefferies
Can't say enough good about 7th + Grove! In from out of state and stumbled across it for brunch, best decision made the entire trip. The food was outstanding (don't sleep on the shrimp & grits), wait staff were quick and very friendly. The manager Jarvis who stopped by the table to check in was great. Overall an exceptional experience, cannot recommend it enough. Be good to yourself and just go already.
Paxi Moore
I was very impressed by the presentation and taste of food at 7th & Grove in Ybor City! It was our first time so we were a little confused about the check-in process. However, once seated the server explained the process. If you like midday after the club and you want good food vibes...this is your spot! Come prepared to spend a bit but the food was worth the price!
Sweetness Rima
I went to their brunch today and I enjoyed myself so much. The whole place is a vibe. From the decor down to the food. Yes I finally outside in these streets since moving here from NY and COVID. I had the frosé with champagne. The dessert was amazing the banana/bread pudding with Oreo cream. Definitely will be going back. Will be doing a video on my YT. Check it out on Sweetnessrima.
Joe Brockwell
Great place for brunch! Little bit of night club with a little bit of Sunday funday. Bloody marry was great, chicken and French toast was unbelievable and the steak and potatoes were incredible.
jacquelinne yuriar
Love the vibe but service was not great. We sat in the lounge section it took forever too get our drinks & food came literally an hour later. It was the wrong order so we had to again wait for the correct order to come by that time we were over it. It seems the waitress are on there phone more then coming to check on there tables. On the bright side drinks were good. Just wish the service was better.
Jasmine Jefferson
I came here with my friends for the first time and we had a great time. My group was running behind and Jarvis the manager made sure to save us a spot even while we waited for the rest of our party to arrive. The music and food was definitely a vibe
Tiffany Wilson
Absolutely phenomenal spot but you have to come early on weekends because it gets busy. Food was perfect, music was great, and the vibe was everything. Next time I visit Tampa I'll be sure to return. Thank you for a Wonderful Experience
Jheanell Miller
Monica was absolutely amazing!!!! She recommended the best food choices for us, and was very present to our needs. I would definitely recommend stopping by and seeing her. We traveled from Orlando and it was nothing short of amazing. Thank you again Monica, we will be back for sure.
Sonja Rosario
For Sunday brunch there are two lines: the all inclusive buffet or the sit down a la carte menu. I chose the sit down dining room experience. Your entire party must be present before you can be seated so fyi in case you have notoriously late friends. Also they add a 20% gratuity on all bills automatically and usually just give you the card reader with the final total versus the itemized bill where you can clearly see the 20% added and will only accept two cards max for payment.
Now that you have an overview, decor is beautiful, food is flavorful, mimosas are weak too much juice for my taste and the plastic flutes felt off for such a pretty place, great music, bathrooms need a full renovation, and service was average/ok - not bad but also nothing memorable.
I've done the lounge and dining side and prefer the lounge side for happy hour, better drinks, better service, and they have live music.
Tonya Ellis
This was the first of many more visits!!! Brought my son here for his 29th birthday and I was just floored at how great the food was!! I’m telling EVERYONE reading this review that you haven’t had soul food until you come here!!
The eclectic mix of flavors and textures are impeccable and amazing 🤩
The service is on a whole other level!!! Our hostess/server Bri was on point!! She timed every course perfectly. Not to take away from any of the other servers; but Bri is someone I will ask for every time I come!!
Brandon Bruner
Wow what a great brunch experience, my lady and I visited 7th & Grove during our Tampa vacation. A well ran Black owned restaurant, Service was stellar, food was excellent, vibe was intoxicating.
Brianna Faulcon
One of the best dining experiences hands down worth every penny, from the music to the food you will not find anything like it. Genesis was a wonderful server and Jarvis is providing excellent service! 12/10 will be coming back.
Angela Barnaby
Tried 7th and Grove and they did not disappoint…..We we’re greeted and seated with a smile. The food was Awesome and let’s not forget the Extraordinary service from Jarvis, Tiara, and Passion.
I will definitely be returning.♥️♥️♥️
Jennifer Therrien
Absolutely excellent! Ronnie our waiter was phenomenal ( especially with accommodating our 1 year old son,) B.K. with security was on it and suggested a delicious drink (The Beyoncé,) and Jarvis the manager was so kind, warm and welcoming. He even took the time out to talk with us to ensure our stay was nothing short of perfect. All I can say is Crown Apple with Lemonaide is D.A.N.G.E.R.O.U.S. The food is 10/10. The music, vibes and atmosphere is top tier. The Oxtail was fire. The cocktails have creative names and taste amazing. We will definitely come back. Do not, I repeat, do not sleep on this spot. Eat, Vibe & Flourish my friends!!!
Jubilee Gonzalez
Came here a few weeks ago with some coworkers for brunch and it was literally amazing. I came right at open and was supposed to meet with everyone but they all ended up extremely late but the hostess and security were super accommodating and patient. I couldn't be sat until my party was there (understandably because they are a high volume busy restaurant in ybor) but they had no issue with me sitting in the waiting area and let us skip the longgggg line outside when my party finally arrived. I had the "Before I Let Go" and genuinely was one of the best meals I've had. The chicken is so good and I've never thought of trying it with French toast before but it was a perfect combination 🖤. I wish I could remember my servers name but she was so sweet and attentive!! Im literally counting down the days till I have another chance to get brunch here again. I will be telling everyone I know to try this place from now on 🫶

Sooo 7th & Grove is a nice vibe! Love the fact I get to support a black owned business. The decor is filled with beautiful black art and greenery. I’ve gone three times and the music is always on point. The front area is the main dining area and the back is the bar / lounge. The staff have been very helpful and lively each time I’ve gone. I’ve enjoyed the food each time and will continue to return. I gave a 4 star due to the minor food mishaps. Definitely reserve a spot, as there is sometimes a wait but they do their best to keep the line moving!
What was ordered: Wings / Collard Greens / Mac & Cheese / Flip The Switch / Gouda Grits
Wings = Cooked as I requested - missed the extra sauce
Collard Greens = Added some hot sauce + vinegar: that’s how I like it!
Mac & Cheese = Yumms
Flip The Switch (2 Flap Jacks + Bacon + Scrambled Eggs) = The jacks were fluffy & good / the only mishap was the eggs, they did not taste good at all, not sure what happened there
Gouda Grits = None leftover
Chahira Joel
I am from the DMV and I will let you know that this was one of my favorite brunch experiences coming from the Brunch City!!!!! Monica served an excellent and exciting experience, she has a beautiful and bright personality! I see her going so far in this industry! Shout out to her!!! Love y'all at 7th. I'll be back
Lorraine
When you feel like Brunch, 7th & Grove is an outright "JEWEL" in Ybor City for a great meal with a friend or friends (especially for an occasion). Not only is the food sumptuous, but the atmosphere, the service, and the staff are all commendable, starting at the very top—with excellence.
I experienced top-notch service and exemplary courtesy. I placed my order. And, although I received an appetizing meal, it was not what I anticipated. I let the waitress know, and immediately one of the owners, Jarvis, came to the rescue. He graciously greeted us, asked, listened, and then he and our waitress placed our orders. We originally wanted the "Let's Stay Together" and changed to the "Rock The Boat" and the "Other Side Of The Game".
Jarvis' cordiality and demeanor were wonderful. And, both meals were fantastic. The "Other Side Of The Game" was absolutely incredible. I could not finish it all and ended up having the rest for breakfast the next day—and it tasted even better.
Thanks to our waitress, Genesis, and a very special thank you to Jarvis, a great person with exceptional calm and professionalism and an even GREATER personality!
By the way, I Wholeheartedly Recommend The:
"OTHER SIDE OF THE GAME"
A Stellar Meal...!
T.O.L. 😉😎
Margarita Sorah
Wanted to try something new. I ordered the chicken and French toast. I do admit it was very good. The French toast was made just right and the chicken was crispy. The service was good, a bit slow since it wasn’t busy when we went.
Courtny Phillips
First, I'd like to apologize. This place has been open for 2 years and this is my first time here.
Secondly, everything about this place is amazing. The food, the staff, the management, the music, the artwork on the walls, all of it. I'm in love with the style here. 😍 I've been in Florida for 8 years now and this has to be the most beautiful spot I've ever been in. I can't wait to come back! I recommend getting the Dojo Cat. Very Yummy!
Dionne Gibson
Simply delish….The “All about the Benjamin’s” was the BEST Crab Cake, Shrimp, and Grits combination I’ve EVER experienced!
Our Server Genesis, and the Manager Jarvis were eager to please and make sure our dining experience was FLAWLESS.
Shireen Rodríguez
Great experience!! Food was so delicious 😋!! I ordered the oxtail and it was so tender. It was different then regular oxtail but so good. The Mac and cheese was soo gooey and great. The coffee with vodka was perfect. My friend had peaches and cream pancakes 🥞 they were perfect. Our server was so friendly offering great suggestions and constantly checking on us.. if you go in ask for Tanaia. If your looking for live music, good food, and a great vibe you found the spot
Erica Famania
If I could give this establishment 10 stars I would. We were greated and looked after from the moment we entered. Culture!!!! They did this for the culture! The food was incredible, really it was. Everything was fun and beautiful and well thought out and modern. I could live here. We had watermelon moijitos that were one of a kind. Keep it up, I am PROUD after being here. And that creole sauce, mmm!
Tracey Bingham
Not only did we get the industrial size bowl of delicious coffee, but the food was yummy-homemade-Wonderfulness. AND the service and friendliness was the best I think I’ve ever had in my whole 55 years of life! Highly recommend! Thanks to Lavon especially!
Gina S
Had dinner with about 18 family and friends this past weekend. My experience left much to be desired and I actually feel taken for. I was required to pay $100 for the reservation, which did not go towards the food bill. With that $100 fee, I was promised 2 bottles of wine/champagne. What I received was 1 $25 bottle of Belaire Rose, cold food, rice that was so hard, I almost cracked a tooth and slower than I would have liked service. I'm really bothered, the more I think about having to spend $100 up front just so my guest and I can spend more money on food and drinks that were not up to the standard advertised. I'm torn about giving this restaurant a second look or just walking away knowing I paid $130 for a 4 ounce piece of salmon and a $25 bottle of wine... cause that's all I got to eat off my plate.
Stephanie Hibbert
The food was amazing!! And Monica! She attended to our EVERY need. This is a very cozy and friendly environment!
Great music! Great food! Great service!
Will be back again!
Audrey Gainey

This place is amazing. It is located in the Ybor city are in Tampa. The ambiance, beautiful AAA art that is throughout both sides of the restaurant, the good food and GREAT customer service is enough reaaon for you to visit this restaurant. Malcom wasn't even our server BUT he worked the room making sure ALL customers were happy and had everything they needed to make sure they had a great experience. Please give it a try, you wont be sorry.
Catyria Smith
I visited from MS. The service and food was FANTASTIC. The vibe was great and the music. Everyone was polite and sweet. This definitely a place I will continue to visit EVERYTIME I come to Tampa. Thanks 😊 …
B. Renee'
Friendly staff. Very helpful in scheduling. The menu and drinks were great. I wasnt clear on the setup and thought we could eat and enjoy the shows but you cannot. I think that would be a good addition to add
Darrika Riding
Correction - it’s BIG RONNIE on the 1’s and 2’s! And he wasn’t he suppose to be one serving today at all! But he was our server and he’s was AMZING! We started off with the “Get Your MF’n Roll On” appetizer which was the fu*king bomb! Did not miss. The first entree we had was the “Other Side of the Game” and I have one word OXTAILS 😘 the second meal was the “All about the Benjamin’s” man it was a great time, vibe, and experience! 10 out of 10! The restaurant manager was cooking too and the food came out HOT AND READY Baby! Kudos to the whole staff who I stopped to Sing and Dance with me! PS. The security guard Paul is a Hater and didn’t want me to Flourish!
Chris Kelly
Last minute choice and glad that I made it tons of great artwork and murals surrounding this place and inside of it all the food is fresh very nice social atmosphere and the server named Camry has a lovely smile that makes you want to have a drink make sure you try the “Beyoncé “and don’t forget to go to the other side of the restaurant for happy hour at 4 o’clock
Jonelle Smith
This was my first time here and it was absolutely amazing. The mimosa’s, food, vibe and just the overall atmosphere was everything. Will definitely be back. Thank you Jarvis for the great experience and getting my friends turned up on a Sunday

Great spot. This was an impromptu visit so we weren't there long but plan to go next weekend. Food is delicious, definitely recommend the shrimp and gouda grits. This is a club version of brunch. They have an upscale lounge side which serves cocktails too. The only complaint I have is the music was so loud I have a sore throat from screaming at the people at my table and yelling my food order. If the waiter can't hear what we're trying to order, you've gone too high! I love loud music, but this was one or two clicks too high.

Came for brunch this past Sunday at about 1130 and there was quite the line, waited about 40 minutes before we were seated. When we walked in the music was EXTRA LOUD, as there was a DJ spinning. After screaming my order to the server there was another long wait to receive the food (42 mins), ordered bottled water and had to ask server twice to bring it, had to go get straws for the drinks after asking 3 times for those. Food was pretty good the Gouda Grits we delish! Also ordered the chicken and french toast which was very disappointing because the chicken was a thigh (not a breast, don't like dark meat) and it did not mention on the menu, had the peach bourbon and watermelon wings and could not tell the difference in taste but good flavor. The decor is very nice and overall the experience wasn't bad except for the very loud music even though the DJ was playing great songs I think if they turn it down so we can hear the server and ourselves instead of it seeming like being at the club, I would have enjoyed it a lot more. There were other menu items I would like to try but I think I'll be getting them as takeout.

First time. The place is unique. The menu is totally different and I like it. The burger was amazing. The pasta dish tasted good too as did the cat fish bites. The staff was amazing. The place was loud because of the private party next door but the music was good so I didn't mind. I took off 2 stars because the food was lukewarm and the chicken in the pasta dish had pink in it. Despite those 2 things, I still recommend this place to others who are looking for something different.
Jessica Jean
Ronnie was phenomenal, he provided me with great service the entire time, he was attentive and provided me with great insight and made sure my meal was made to perfection. By far my favorite waiter ever and was one the best experience. I love 7th and grove
Cat Flo
Lots of fun here is it very modern. I love the art and the food was very filling. Pancakes were good. The way it is set up is a little strange, but I like it. I’ll be back!

So made reservations for a party of 3 for brunch with the ladies. We visited on a Saturday. It was very busy. We were seated and the young lady Genesis came by to greet us and ask what drinks we wanted. After asking her about a specific drink on the website, she did inform us that they did not have that specific drink and that was for website purposes only. She suggested another drink, the Doja Cat. It took awhile for our drinks to come as the place was busy. We then proceeded to order. Another LONG wait as expected since it was crowded, we finally get our food. The dish was missing the pico de gallo as well as gravy and bacon. 🙄 We tell the waitress and she apologize. She insist she will at least get the bacon 🙄 by the time we finish our food the bacon comes out. The atmosphere and music was great. The waiters great. The food was ok. The service regarding food....no good. The food later got all three of us with a belly ache and running to the bathroom. Just wanted to give an honest review.
Er Qj
Amazing place. Took my husband to celebrate his birthday, and we totally loved this place. We sit at the bar lounge, music and atmosphere were awesome.
The food was incredible, tasty, good portions.
We got the green tomatoes ( best I ever had)
Mimosas were excellent and the service was amazing.
We will definitely come back!!!!
Jose Mota
Exceptional Service from Bri. Super kind and polite. Food was Amazing. I recommend the “Before i let go” and the “Sunny Daze”. Their Lemonade was also top notch.
Christa L. Kacillas
Great vibes and music and MAYRA was amazing, she knows the menu very well, her cocktail and dinner recommendations were amazing as we are out of town diners and appreciated the direction she made our experience superb!
Rochelle Bankhead
From Cincinnati but tic toc everyone had a wonderful time. So my experience was great the food good the music definitely on point. Will return whenever in Tampa.
ReneeOnPoint
Fried okra, collard greens, waffles, fried fish, gouda grits and oh so tasty. You'll love their specialty cocktails. Unfortunately they do not serve Veuve Clicquot.
Skyla Jenkins
My husband and my family were visiting from Atlanta & NC. We simply did a search and showed up! The experience was AWESOME! Ronnie was so friendly and professional. His customer service was top notch. Food was OUTSTANDING! Love the fact that it is black owned! We will definitely return when we’re in town.
Tazon Wright
The vibe here is literally unmatched! It’s black excellence! I’ve come here for simple lunches, Sunday brunch and Drag brunch and it’s lit on both sides. The food and drinks are amazing! My server, Jam, was so cool, she was dancing while taking our orders! I definitely recommend!! Just get cute, come out and vibe!!
CMI Photgraphy Studio
The food was great along with service. I enjoyed the atmosphere. In the lounge section they had great music. And my hunny bunny really enjoyed it.
This next visit I had the opportunity to dance. So much fun. Great music.
Chantell Furister
5 stars across the board 🌟 great vibes, great food & drinks. The environment was everything & our bottle girl Monica definitely made sure my girls had the best time & got us right! …
Tayisha Scott
OMG!!! This is my 1st, but not my last time at 7th+ Grove. The customer service, food, and vibe is SUPERB! The manager Jarvis and our waitress Yolonda made us feel like family. My husband and I are in town for the Bucs vs Dolphins game and wanted to support a black-owned restaurant (as usual) and we have no regrets... To top it off, one of the owners is an alumni of FAMU🐍🐍 just like myself and that's why we really came... Keep up the great work 7th+ Grove!... Highly recommended!
BossQueen Li
7th & Grove is an amazing restaurant. It's filled with culture and great tasting food. We had the shrimp and grit with scrambled eggs. We also had the chicken tenders and waffles. The mimosas were also also fresh and delicious. I would recommend and have been back for the seafood event recently.
Update! I've been so many times. I ❤️ them. The food, drinks, and vibes are always giving luxury and class. Even 2 years later. Hope they are here to stay.
Arielle Green
I just celebrated my bachelorette/birthday weekend at 7th & Grove for brunch and the experience was everything I wanted and more! The venue was beautiful, modern and for pictures, very instagram-worthy spots in the building! The staff treated us with kindness, especially the manager, Jarvis, who wouldn’t allow me to celebrate my bachelorette and birthday without complimentary shots! The brunch buffet was AMAZING, and the bread pudding was immaculate. My bridesmaids and I had a top-tier experience and will definitely return if in the Tampa area in the future!5
M Francois
The food and atmosphere was great! And our amazing and superb server, Kamri was kind, knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely visit again 🙂
cheneil fleary
Had a great time at this restaurant. The food was amazing as well as the drinks. Jarvis has great customer service and made sure we had everything we needed. Will definitely be returning for the food, people, and great atmosphere!!
Regina
I came here to celebrate my birthday with my friends on Taco Tuesday and I had the time of my life. Our server, Genesis, was super sweet and she surprised me with sparklers, a happy birthday sign, and a round of drinks for the table. The other servers and staff were friendly, they provided us with great recommendations, and made sure we enjoyed our night. I ate every single taco on the menu and it was totally worth it. I would definitely recommend!
Trenace Townsend
I visited here for brunch on Sunday. I was pleased there wasn't a wait when we arrived. Soon after I saw folks waiting to be seated. The food was amazing, the service was somewhat slow but I attributed it to being a super busy Sunday. The decor and music was great. Would definitely visit again next time I'm in Tampa.
Windy Williams
My daughter and i went to brunch for my 60th birthday. The ambience and atmosphere at 7th + Grove were very friendly. The service and food were great. The Manager, Jarvis came out to check on the customers to ensure that everything was going well. We even had our picture taken. Will definitely revist when in the Tampa area.
Erin J
was invited to a friend's birthday brunch at this restaurant. At first it was giving a swanky feel but as soon as I entered a DJ was playing really loud music, good music but it was just really loud. The place was packed, I ordered the pancakes with peaches and cream (it's supposed to be peach cobbler on top of the pancakes) The peaches came from a can and there was no whipped cream in the pancakes themselves were nothing to write home about. Get my check and I am charged a cake fee ($27), which was explained to me if a server has to bring a cake out to the table they charge a fee, that's it (no singing,no extra plates or silverware). okay I didn't make the reservations, wasn't even my birthday But I get charged with the fee.... interesting. Overall it's a cute restaurant Good if you're going out with some friends and don't mind yelling at each other at the table over the DJ's music or standing outside in a line to wait to get inside then you'll like this place. PS don't bring a cake
William Kracht
This place is a whole vibe, best brunch in Ybor hands down service was 10/10 music, 10/10, food was an 11/10. Ox tail was killer, watermelon BBQ wings, killer. Peach cobbler flap Jacks amazing. I'll be back for sure
Gina Jones
Awesome vibes, excellent food and Jam provided top tier service. You NEED to brunch at this place if you are in Tampa!
Ch'lon C.
I don't know where to start. There are 2 sides to the restaurant. We sat in the side that looked like a lounge. The atmosphere was dope definitely a socializing environment. I tried everything lol. The grits were creamy, the waffles were sweet and cakey. The chicken was so good and those biscuit had me want more the next day. Can't wait for my next visit 🤗
Erick “The Supercar Killer” Glover
The food was excellent, with good size servings!
The staff, security and management was excellent lots of attention to detail!! (There was one hostess that seem to not be a good fit, in time management will weed her out)
The energy was amazing and the music vibe was on point however the sound engineering could have been better integrated with the two sides.
The bathroom could use some attention but given the level of use it was fine.
Overall this place delivered a great experience with great food and wonderful service👌🏽
LuverofPups
I was in Tampa with a group for a conference and we ended up here by chance! A lovely place and it’s black owned. As an artist I fell in love with the decor and the vibe is awesome. Our waiter Ronnie ( Ronaldo) was awesome. He was very attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed. I had the egg rolls which were delicious and for a cocktail I had the Megan the Stallion. Everything was delicious, a great experience and when I come down to Tampa again I will definitely visit. You would be making a good choice by stopping by for the food, vibes and service. Ask for Ronnie, you’ll definitely have a great night.
Maria Schmitz
Jarvis, made our family feel at home. This restaurant have an amazing ambient and amazing food. Loved it and will recommend to everyone. You will not be disappointed
Raven Powell
Overall we had a great time! They were super busy, so we understood the wait. We had gone to several restaurants prior that were also packed before landing on 7th + Grove. It was definitely a vibe! The food was great and our server Ronnie was awesome. Will be back!
Carla Meehan
The food here was amazing, seasoned just right,the price was reasonable,the service was top notch,next time I want to go to the lounge.
Eric Jackson
Today was my first time here, and I promise you it will not be my last. The service was outstanding. Ronnie, where is our server. He did an outstanding job. Very pleasant demeanor, very helpful when I was trying to select from the menu. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed. Love the artwork on the wall. Like I said, in the beginning, I will be back.
Ava Aulenbacher
The food and drinks were absolutely amazing! Our server was very sweet too!
Michelle B
This restaurant is such a great vibe the people are extremely friendly and professional. The wait time wasn’t bad at all, the food is great. The restaurant is clean & the music is definitely my style of music. The drinks are very indulging, I had a great time. I will certainly visit again soon. Checkout the catfish!!
Kristen Jason
This is a beautifully decorated restaurant, so it’s a nice place to sit down and have a meal. The people here are so nice they food didn’t even have to be good for me to come back but it was really amazing too! Everything has a unique twist to it so it’s not just southern style food you would get anywhere. I had the peach bourbon wings which were delicious. Thank you to the manager Jarvis and our server Kamri for making coming all the way from Orlando to eat here worth it. Also side note the cook started making our food immediately, so our food came out fast which is so necessary when you have a toddler. I loved this place!
Mirella Valdez
I’ve been to many brunch joints from Florida to New York to Mexico and so on… and this is definitely my top 3 favorite places ! Amazing food drinks and service ! Tried a little of all my friends plates and OMG ! Not disappointed AT ALL !
Brenda Jasper
Great atmosphere! The food was delicious. Our waitress was attentive and very kind .
Pamela Fleary
My first time here and the vibe was absolutely amazing!!!! Jarvis was great he asked if was okay and everything. The food was delicious the service was A1. I will definitely be back!!!! Thank y'all for showing my family and I love!!!
Joel Oliva
Great food and great ambiance! Had lunch here with my wife on a quiet Tuesday. I ordered the Sunny Daze from the brunch menu. EXCELLENT! We had the pecan banana pudding for dessert and that was great too. All around solid!
Kristian Latham
If you are anywhere near Tampa then you need to try this spot. No excuses. A1 vibe A1 service and A1 food. Great for any occasion…family, date night, friends, or celebrations.
Jeremy Honig
Food was amazing, service was great, and the vibes were right. Jamila was super friendly and down to earth making this dinner one to come back for. 10/10 all around
Shandi Woodard
Visiting from Birmingham, AL and this was delicious! Love that the menu is mostly named after songs. This is called "Before I Let Go" and it was amazing!!
Genesis Lee
We came here for a birthday party and had a blast. Genesis was our host and she was great. A few things to think about if you throw a party here. If you’re looking for food the lounge has different options than the restaurant so decide if you wanna party with bottles and eat wings (wings are the only thing you can order that is similar to a platter) or do you wanna eat then party. The $7 till 7 is not available in the lounge only the restaurant. So depending on what your goal is you may want to reserve a table in the restaurant then the lounge. Just know the lounge is more for partying not really eating.
Gratuity is included in your bill so be aware of that. The staff is kinda spread thin so you may have to wait but your having so much fun you won’t really notice. Overall we had a ball. Great place to celebrate!!
Carla Hill
Love the vibe at this spot. It was beautiful, clean, and fun. The food was bomb and it came out fast. Our waitress Jamila was dope. She was so sweet and knowledgeable about the different options. She was extremely attentive and made sure we were good the entire time. We are definitely coming back.
Christian Frazier
7th & Grove is a soul food restaurant in Ybor City and the food is magnificent. Here is the Oxtails & Grits.The Deviled Eggs with seasoned chicken is a delicious appetizer. Also featured photo is a dish named Rock The Boat with Fried or Seared Catfish + Creole Pan Sauce + Braised Collards + Gouda Grits + Fried Okra
The drinks are named after artists like Ari Lennox and of course one of the strongest drinks is this one the "Megan Thee Stallion" packs a kick with tequila for even the experienced drinker. What makes this restaurant special is the vibe and atmosphere. Sports on the televisions screens and a DJ playing hit R&B and chill vibes. The staff makes you feel at home and it has a feel like Atlanta Styled restaurants but with it's own flavor. It's quite the popular hangout spot in Tampa with events constantly going on. If you plan to dine on the weekends it's definitely recommended to make your reservations early becuase the line is wrapped around the corner on the weekends to get in to the amazing brunch vibe. I witnessed some of the most beautiful people traveling from surrounding counties to visit the restaurant on the weekend. If you live in the Tampa area or planning a visit be sure to add 7th & Grove to your itinerary.
Lena Orwig
I am an event planner and I coordinated an event here from out of state, where we were hosting a hybrid panel discussion in-person and via live stream. Working with Leah was so easy and she was nothing but helpful, kind, and flexible with all my needs and requests! The event was excellent and everyone could not stop raving about the amazing decor, music and vibes, and the INCREDIBLE food from EVF catering (provided by the venue!) I could not recommend 7th + Grove enough!! The staff were all so caring and even looked after my client's dog so she didn't have to leave him outside!! Truly a wonderful experience.
Chris Deigh
7th and Grove was a great dining choice. The customer service,
food quality, and ambience was top tier. I would definitely dine again.
Christian Pate
Where to start? Ambiance was fantastic. Server Tiara was phenomenal. Food presentation and taste was authentic and wonderful. The mixed drinks were fabulous. Priced just right. Definitely in my new top 5 of dining enjoyment.
Clarissa Baughman
I love coming here! I got the “Before I let you go” chicken and french toast. To all my french toast people come here! I had Janice as a waitress and she was so nice!!!! Ask for Janice!
A. Denise Franklin
I had the ox tails. They were served over mased potatoes with corn bread. 7th + Grove have a family gathering vibe in that you may be sitting on the couch eating with music and conversation going on.
Jessie Andrades
While visiting Tampa I came across 7th + Grove. From the moment we walked in the service was excellent. The hostess was friendly and we were seated right away. I ordered the Megan the Stallion drink with Casamigos which has an upcharge for the branded tequila but it was well worth it. For dinner I ordered the Rude Boi oxtail. It was delicious and plenty to take home for a second portion. The music was great and the ambiance of the place and customers made it a beautiful experience. I would definitely come back whenever back in Tampa.
Cheryl Magby
The hospitality was phenomenal. The staff was amazing! The food was omgggg so good! If you’re ever in this area, make sure this your 1st stop!
Liyah' Nicole
Ronny and Passion were absolutely phenomenal!
Very patient.. life of the party and I definitely will be coming back.
So listen I got the oxtails and grits honey listennnn THEEEEE BOMBBBB OK!! I didn’t even look at price cause when I know … I KNOWWW
DEF COMING BACK AND BRINGING THE GIRLSSSSSSS !!!!
Shay Ray
Went to brunch at 7th. I was highly impressed. I went a few times when they first open even had them cater my birthday, when they first opened. But then Food and Drinks kind of went downhill tbh. HOWEVER, TODAY let me tell you the Food was really AMAZING 10/10 highley recommended, Service was top tier from the hostess to the waitress (thanks Jamecia) and the vibe was a vibe! I'll definitely be back and spread the word!
Barbara Carter
My husband and myself decided to hit up 7th and Grove for lunch today and as always it wasn’t disappointing at all. Everybody is so professional the drinks were amazing and the food was even more amazing. It’s nice to see a black on business thriving in Tampa. Keep up the good work guys we may be using you for a private party for our 60th birthday celebration.
Trelena Anderson
The food was amazing! I ordered the crab cake shrimp and grits (it was well seasoned and done right!) My husband ordered the French Toast and chicken…and man…it was the best French toast either of us have ever tasted!
The vibe is chill, the DJ played brunch appropriate music, and it wasn’t overly crowded. Besides we are also FAMU alumnus and pleased to discover the owners are also FAMU grads. Go Rattlers! Great place to brunch!
JN
I usually love this place. But really troubled by their lack of glasses. They seem to run out very often and then serve alcoholic drinks(at full price) in what are essentially plastic water cups (you will see when you go). Not only is it distasteful for such a nice establishment to be serving alcoholic drinks in small plastic water cups, it's (even more disappointing) because this is a Black-owned establishment. I really would like for them to buy more glasses, as their prices are high and we-the hard working patrons deserve real glasses EVERY time we order here, not just some of the times. Thanks.
Willie Beasley
Such a great experience. Definitely a must for anyone coming to the Tampa area. High end southern cuisine in a vibrant and fun atmosphere
Michael Reid
One Of The Koolest Vibes In All Of Ybor City!
Got A Chance To Attend The Urban League Young Professionals Mixxer, And Meet Up With Some Of The Bay Area's New Movers & Shakers, And Am Glad The Place Continues To 'Flourish'. The Food Is Also Banging ("The Egg Rolls They Served Are Slammin'!")

Let’s Stay Together, lots of bold flavors that you’ll be sure to enjoy. There’s nothing on the menu that you won’t enjoy, great work.
Naomi Bernard
Jodi was an exceptional server. Positive attitude, beautiful smile, It was my very first time, and I’m definitely gonna be back we drove all the way from Orlando. Good
Vibes & good food loving this fully owned black business
Tatiyana Hall
My friends and I went to 7th and Grove to celebrate my birthday dinner. Jarvis was amazing! He helped me make my reservation and made sure I enjoyed my birthday dinner! He checked in on us just as much and even more than our lovely waiters! The environment was amazing! The food was delicious and the vibe fit the occasion perfectly! Everything and everyone was on point! We most definitely will be back! We wouldn’t have even gone if Jarvis didn’t swoop in and save the day! I loved everything!! This place is a must visit!!
SherAaron Hurt
This was a WHOLE vibe. The drinks were phenomenal!!! The food was spectacular. I was so happy to be in a black establishment and my culture. The live DJ was playing the best music.
Stephanie Copeland
Our server Ronny was amazing- upon entering he greeted us with a smile. He made it welcoming and we loved the atmosphere and music. Then the food and presentation was AMAZING. I ENJOYED everyone moment and the food menu - I swear I wanted to order alot - food is awesome and filling. Thank you Ronny for your service and cooks. I look forward to making this a spot to come every trip. Saw on social media and had to try and was not disappointed. I recommend everyone to come thru. Full and happy 😊
C (C)
Okay, so, the food & vibes were amazing. However, my friend & I were not pleased with the way the owner treated her staff. She was very rude & anxious, confronting staff in the presence of paying customers. I feel that should’ve been something done behind closed doors & in a more managerial manner. Hopefully, this review is seen & taken under consideration. Other than that, which made me highly uncomfortable, the place, the music, the food is such a vibe! Would definitely try it again. 💕
Jennie Grubb
We stopped by 7th + Grove as part of Tampa Bay Restaurant Week.
The vibe and décor in this restaurant are just amazing! It was unfortunate that our visit didn't go very well, as we would love to visit again to sit in a different area to enjoy the ambiance. Apparently they got a new food ordering system the day before, but our server had no idea how to use it, so everything took a long time. The service was very slow in general. When we asked about the special for Restaurant Week the server didn't know if it was still available. It turns out it was available but with a different pasta and they were out of the advertised desert, despite the fact that we were told not many people had come in to order the special.
KB fromChi
Our table tried a variety of items on the menu (appetizers and mains). Everything was delicious. My only complaint is the Catfish/grits/collard dish is a small portion and is all in the same bowl (which wasn't my expectation).
Overall, a great experience and vibe.
Abigail VanSickle
My mom and I had breakfast here this morning and the food was absolutely amazing like always! Saturday mornings are definitely busy but you can see why. The hostess, Dayla, was super sweet and accommodating and checked on us and got us water while we were waiting on our super busy waitress.
LIFE Malcolm
The ambience is modern day, speakeasy cool. The cooks prepare the food the same delicious way, every time. The bartenders know what they're doing! The wait staff is always friendly, and never pushy. Easy to become a regular!
A Rivera
I went for Brunch on a Sunday.. All I can say is wow!!! The food was incredibly delicious, fresh and flavorful. I would recommend arriving early, or making a reservation because there will be line around the block it’s that good!!!! If you’re looking for a delicious brunch with your partner or your friends, 7th + Grove will not disappoint.
Nadea McLaughlin
Let me tell you! If you’re looking for a place to feed your soul, 7th and Grove is the place! I’ve never been to a restaurant like this! From the time you step in line, you feel at home. They brought us waters as we waited to be seated, the security guard Paul definitely made us feel safe, comfortable and with a big smile on our faces! Ronny our waiter, did the damn thing. He came with the exceptional service and the swag to match. We can’t forget Matthew who lit up the room every time he passed by. The entire team down to the bartenders and the ambience were A1 from start to finish. Notice I haven’t reached the food yet? *chef’s kiss* Look, get over there neow! I’m heading there all now!
Tian Sanchez
We stopped in for brunch with a large group and had a spectacular experience. I had the Everyday People and everything was incredibly well-seasoned. The service was warm and really attentive and this is definitely a great spot we hope to visit again soon!
Demi Diaz
Can I be honest? It was just ok. Presentation = immaculate, their drinks = BIG (too big maybe, be aware of your sugar intake there) and the restaurant aesthetic is beautiful. Spacious, furniture is comfortable and straight out of an interior design magazine. I went when they were just opening for lunch on a weekday and the bathroom smelled like if it hadn’t been cleaned in a minute.
Now the food, I was not impressed. Really paid to eat fries and mac and cheese, my friend did love the mac and cheese. Mt deviled eggs were ok, the fries were fries. I’d give it another try to order an entree but I’m skeptical if it’s really all for show or if it’ll actually be tasty.
Natalie Yanis
I just want to say I had such an amazing experience at 7th and Grove! I love seeing a black owned business, especially in Ybor City, thrive. As a Tampa native, I am always looking for new places to try. This was my first time here, and I went for brunch on a Sunday. My friend and I did the restaurant side. You definitely want to get there early, before they open at 11, because they don’t do reservations for brunch, so the line gets long. We got there 15 minutes before 11, so we didn’t have too wait long for a table. The food was some of the best southern style food I’ve ever had. Bring your wallet! It’s not that cheap, but believe me when I say, every penny will be worth it. They play good old school R&B, some of my favorite music. Ronnie was our server, and he was so nice and attentive! Definitely ask for him if you want some of the best service. I will for sure be going here again. Such a great Tampa staple!!
Kenosha Tillman
7th and grove is aesthetically nice but the food lacks seasoning. I would give the oxtail meal a 3 out of 10. The service was great.
Duane Gainey
I visited 7th and grove for the very first time on my birthday weekend. I was very impressed. The food was great and the atmosphere wasn’t bad. Music was a little louder than I like but overall my experience was great. I’d recommend this restaurant. I would give it 9 out of 10 stars. DEG#4
Cathy Beasley
I enjoyed the food and our waitress, Jam...it was an awesome experience & vibe
Mitchel Hagan
I’m not sure the name of our bartender but she was there the morning of Friday December 2nd. We were there visiting from Va & Nc and she took care of us great. The food was amazing, the drinks are even better, and the love she showed us was top notch. We went back Saturday night & even with all the people there she still held it down for us with amazing service! 10/10 would recommend.
Tiff Eatz
The atmosphere is great, daytime club brunch vibes, music is awesome, drinks amazing and food is absolutely delicious, if I am to give any feedback, it would be the smell in the air when you first enter the building, it takes away the appetite at first but once you adjust to the scent and get a few drinks in you, its a great spot for brunch! Awesome spot!
Kodi Smitty
Giulia pronounced Julia was absolutely phenomenal very attentive. We needed for nothing. She took care of us like we were family. The manager and rest of staff are very personable. Great establishment. Great Drinks. Great food. Great music. Great vibe. Pull up on emmmm!
Joe Garcia
Oh My God. It's rare that you go to a restaurant and everything on the menu is mouth-watering. The only issue we had was figuring out what to try. I don't even know where to begin..but the vibe is amazing, service is phenomenal and the food...I mean the food was next level! Party of 4 went for Saturday Brunch, we all ordered an appetizer and an entrée....EVERYTHING HIT!!!
Cesar Duque
OMG!!! this place is INCREDIBLE, Alexis was awesome, love the decoration is a nice bar (WITH A FULL RESTAURANT AT THE SIDE) so you can have the best of both worlds! even in a weekday it had some people enjoying the incredible service and decoration, we ordered the unlimited margarita and tacos (just 27 dollars!!!) wife was absolutely loving it, now for me this place is a MUST GO!
Jimmy Janvier
First time here and I loved it. Large group of guys with large appetites. Food was amazing and our waitress Dominique took care of us and made sure we were well taken care off. Vibes were dope, DJ and MC kept live all day
Lennise Germany
I’ve dined and grooved at 7th & Grove on countless occasions since they’ve opened. The level of growth and elevation has been extremely exciting to witness. The food is absolutely AMAZING! The presentation of the food is photogenic. The service or the staff is of pride. Job well done 7th & Grove. It’s beautiful to experience something made by us that is for us and ALL who chooses to come through your doors.
Melinda Bailey
I've been wanting to go here for a long time. We had brunch and the food was delicious. I had the All About the Benjamins and loved it. Ronnie was our server and he was great. My only complaint was the music was too loud. The DJ was great and I loved the setlist but I couldn't actually hold a conversation with the people I was eating with because we couldn't hear each other speak. After the 2nd time Ronnie asked for the music to be turned down a little we were able to hear each other.
Ashley Loan
A group of 4 of us went Saturday evening and the food was absolutely amazing. We started with Sir Greendown- I don't really like tomatoes but the combination with ghost cheese and their dressing was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Rock the Boat with Salmon. The salmon was cooked perfectly- very tender, the grits were creamy, and the fried okra was great. My date ordered the Welcome to Atlanta peach bourbon style and he must've loved them because they were gone before he could share. The cocktails my table ordered looked great, though I don't drink. We've already decided to come back so I can try the Fool for You egg rolls which were not available. The service was great too and the food came out quickly. Such a fun atmosphere for a Saturday evening in Ybor. The decor is the real prize though! Go check it out!
Tatiana
My friends and I really enjoyed this restaurant for our girls brunch! The food was delicious, service was on point, and the overall vibe was amazing! We all traveled from out of town and so happy to have found this black owned establishment!

I’m usually not one to wait in line, but I will say that the food was worth standing and waiting. The line moved and our group was seated after standing in line for about 20-35ish minutes (wasn’t really tracking the time).
Now the food: the egg rolls, A1. The oxtails though, fire! Mac and cheese + collards, yep go for it. I tried someone’s shrimp and grits, and also tried the French toast - those were bangers too.
The service was good. Definitely recommend!

Went on a Sunday with a party of four (heard food was amazing) to the restaurant side (reservations not offered on this side) and waited in line an hour in the sun. Was finally offered water 45 min into that hour wait.
While in line watched people at the end get seated before me because staff seats according to party size not where you are in line.
While awaiting a seat didn't see anything that says a 20% charge would be added to bill. Wasn"t told by my server either.
Then a server (not ours) walks passed our table with 75% of her behind exposed (servers were wearing hose). Didn't order that with my meal (this is not Wingstop or Hooters). Didn't expect or appreciate that.
Food was amazing experience was not.

Jamilia is the sweetest waitress. I had so many questions that she answered with a lovely smile. I wish her the best in life🙏🏾 The place is most definitely a vibe & the food is beyond quality. Modern twist on soul food. …

Visiting from out of state and wanted a place with good drinks and food - this was it! We got a couple of tasty cocktails and really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes. Jamila took great care of us!

OMG! My daughter threw me a surprise birthday brunch there, me and 40 of my friends and family; let me tell you.. the service was phenomenal! Jode was our hostess and she was everything! With a large crowd plus their other patrons you would expect poor or slow service.. not the case! Everyone from the bartenders, kitchen staff, Jode, even the DJ and MC were wonderful! Service with a smile the entire time! Thank you 7th and Grove for making this lady feel so special!!
Nicole S
Monica was so good to us! Thank you honey, we will be back! Great food, bottomless mimosas, beautiful scenery and nothing but good vibes. The DJ killed it 💕
Saxony Pique
The vibe at 7th & grove was amazing. I brought a group of ten people and they recommended the buffet option. The manager Jarvis was very hospitable, checking in on us and making sure our group was receiving the best experience!
LajDwan Lenoir
Food was amazing!!! Atmosphere was on point!! Service needs work. Barely saw our server and another server had to get our checks and get her to close us out. But overall... Definitely going back!
Jennifer Lowdermilk
This brunch spot is so cute. the artwork is amazing, they play great music, and the staff is very nice. The whole place is great vibes and food was also amazing. 10/10 would recommend!
Derell DeRamus
The food was amazing and the service was outstanding! Thanks so much to our waitress Jamila for making our first time here one to remember! This is definitely a must whenever you’re in town! I will be making my way back here next time I’m in Florida!
Vanessa Walters
Cool spot for some soul food and vibes. Alot of rules though, either buffet plus time limit and lounge or restaurant and menu for brunch. Lounge is treated like a club, low tables a bit uncomfortable for eating but great vibe. Would like to try restaurant side for full menu.

🗣Update: I took my original post down pertaining to the situation that happened at 7+ Grove!
I had a chance to speak to one of the real owners Mr. Jamaris Glenn. He waisted no time responding back to my concerns about what transpired at his establishment.. He definitely made my husband & I feel secure that he nor does his other colleagues condone or conduct business in that manner with customers! Mr. Glenn rectified the situation quickly asking for all information I had about this incident. He wasn’t pleased to say the least & apologized for the behavior of said individuals! He also asked if we would bring our party of 5 back to enjoy some food & a bottle of wine on the house!
I appreciate the way he handled us & the respect he showed to my husband & I! It shows a lot about his business & character, definitely will be going back to experience what I missed on Christmas!😉
Gobriella Davis
My favorite place to go for brunch and for a vibe overall! Always a win because the food is amazing. My last visit during MLK weekend was extra special because Monica’s customer service was top tier !!! Give this girl a raise !
Ruby Wake
Food is absolutely amazing. And drinks were delish. But nothing beat the service we received from Ronny. We had a large group of 15 and he handled us like a champ. Will definitely be back.
Roshonda Calhoun
Hard time making a reservation called with no response and texted with no response for over a week; no reservation caused my group to have a long wait when we showed up however the manager Jarvis was excellent he came outside (as no real place to wait) and put up umbrellas so that we had some shade while we waited and once we got seated the atmosphere was great and the food was excellent. Just wish the reservation system was better!
Ashli Martin
I really want to give this place a 4.5. Points were taken off because the waiting system they have in place really isn’t that efficient. You just stand outside and wait in line until there’s a table ready. However, once I finally got seated the service was fun, pleasant, and VERY fast. I ordered the “Rock the Boat” meal and when I TELLLLL you. It was HEAVEN in my mouth. You can tell somebody’s grandma is either back there cooking the greens or a really good recipe was passed down! Seating is comfy and the decor is a vibe too. If this place were registered through Open Table it would be perfect.
misty haskell
Beautiful experience, awesome staff, the vibe was terrific. Now lets talk about the food, omg, the Get your roll on was so good, everything was amazing. And our server Jam was amazing, completely attentive ❤️
Jacob Guzman
The restaurant was such a good vibe to enjoy music and eat delicious food. Our server Jamila was exceptional and very helpful! I will definitely be making a return.
Rico Morgan
The food, drinks and atmosphere was amazing! But our server Monica was incredible. She was prompt, funny and was a vibe all her own.
Yolanda Rios
First timers party of 5 on a Friday night 8:30pm. Nice vibe but you really need patience after ordering anything. Drinks were good but it took 25 minutes to get them. Food ordered 5 minutes after drinks. Food took another 40 minutes. I would try coming on a non busy day to better enjoy the establishment. The food was pretty decent, some orders came out cold, some orders came after most of the table was finished eating. They did take the cold meal off and compt drinks. So they did try to make it right. It seemed like the kitchen couldn't keep up with the orders and the waitress weren't showing urgency when taking food orders out. It appeared to be un organized and not managed. I think the manager was between the restaurant and lounge area which was on the otherside of the wall. He might have been the only manager there. Might be best to have two so that the restaurant gets the much needed attention it deserves. Gave 3 stars 🌟 because I would try again.
Bryan Honor
Ordered the Nolia clap. The rice was a bit undercooked. But the gumbo was very good, perfectly spiced. If you are vegan and like a semi spicy food. You will surely love this dish.
T Byrd
We had a great experience and our waitress Jam is great. She gave us the insight on the best things to order.
I will continue to bring business to this establishment in the future.
Thank you Jam and the th & Grove staff
P. W.
Amazing food, great service, music on point and attentive staff. We had Kamri as our waitress and she was so amazing. Quick service with a smile. Please ask for her when you come in. She’s too sweet! And get the Snoh Allegra or Snoop Dogg drink. Delicious!
Ella Redmond
Brunch is $48 per person for buffet an unlimited mimosa. Pineapple mimosa and orange mimosa was terrible. Best mimosa was cranberry. Maybe if they did not premake mimosa they would be better. The vibe and music was amazing.
Jennifer Keller
Absolutely beautiful food, ambiance and drinks! Our server Ronnie was fantastic when we were there 2/1/23 and the chef prepared a flawless meal! Highly recommend!
Sierra Fareed
7th & Groove is one of the best black owned businesses in Tampa! Food and drinks great. And the service is top tier. Monica is a favorite, always a good time and attentive. When I’m doubt ask for MONICA!
Cecily Lyvonne
Was there for dinner party for 7. We were late but they were still able to accommodate most of our orders. Didn’t get our servers name but she was very efficient AND patient to say the least. I really wanted to try the fried okra on the deviled eggs I ordered but they were all out. Was very good however with the chicken. I also had a couple happy hour drinks, wings and side of collared greens and fries. The greens were good, but very very salty. All else was tasty.
After dinner and photo ops we went inside the lounge area and vibed to the music from the DJ. They held a space for us to sit together.
They are very COVID conscious..taking temperatures and mask requirements.
Parking best in the rear of the building.
Octavia Cattron
Everything about this place was amazing! The vibe when you walk in is very welcoming. Ronnie was very attentive and helpful with the menu. The food was delicious. Will definitely be back!
Genevieve C.
Ronnie made my experience the most extraordinary I’ve ever had at a brunch! The most attentive and thoughtful waiter. Made my friends birthday brunch the best!
Don’t stop Dancing
Loved my experience and how comfortable I felt with everyone inside. Food and drinks were great and music was a vibe. It is a nice date spot or a meet up with friends. Prices are a bit high, but I would say it is worth it if you’re going on a date
Nicole Bernard
Jodi was exceptional. She was very friendly and attentive. Great service! I will definitely be returning. Food was great and bottomless mimosas even better.
Megan Hammer
The starter rolls are one of the most delicious appetizers I've ever had. So flavorful. Service was great and the atmosphere is warm, inviting, and happy.
Ali M
My waiter didn’t pay attention to my table but the hostess made up for it! Shout out to Dayla! She is so on point. She does it all and with a lovely smile. Bust tables, refills drinks, seats people if needed and does her hostess job. Food was great and busting with flavor.
Nully Beats
My boy Ronnie got us right , excellent service , and made some great recommendations, service and food was 10/10
Brittney Eason
We visit the 7th and grove in Tampa and had such an amazing time. The vibe was amazing , the waiter’s are phenomenal and Jarvis is such a sweetheart. I love this place and I can’t wait to come back again .
Eboni Mull
In every review, I always list out the pros and cons so here we go:
PROS:
-Great vibe/ambiance
-Great music!
-The drinks all have catchy names. The Ari Lennox and Mariah Mule were my fave!
-Seating is comfy and the artwork is unique
-Love the open kitchen!
-Deviled fried chix eggs were awesome!
-Ox tails in the Rude Boi entree were chef's kiss!
CONS:
-For large parties (we had 8), they only let you use 2 credit cards.
-You only get 90 minutes from start to finish. We stayed longer due to the issue of waiting on food for multiple people in my party to be re-made. Which brings me to the biggest con of our visit:
- TOO MUCH SALT!!!!!!!!!!! We had half our party send back food because it just couldn't be consumed. The food was too salty! The dipping sauce for the catfish was extremely salty. The mac n cheese was very salty. When the mgr came over to talk to use, we told him to taste the food to see what we mean.
-The wait staff should be leading the experience. The order of eating out is drinks, appeitizers, entrées, more drinks if needed then dessert. The waitress ordered all our stuff at once which caused delays of items. Highly recommend this be re-vamped.
Overall nice place but I will need a re-do. I'm hoping this visit was just a fluke and next time will be better. Looking forward to a better experience with the food next time!
Donnelly Smallwood
I would just like to say I enjoyed every bit of the experience at 7th & Grove, from the time I walked in from the hostess I did ask her name her name was (Passion) she was absolutely amazing.. she greeted us with so much love, her smile made me smile.. energy was immaculate. She made me want to come back. Just buy me walking in she walked us to our seats. When I say customer service was superb she Made sure we have water and everything checked up on us and all.. I believe we came in during rush-hour, Our server did amazing job (kam) as well just now I am coming back every chance I get.. the food was EXCELLENT.. I had oxtails OMG!!! And we had appetizers which we had the bang bang wings and the devil eggs…. I still taste it LOL.. thank you all for being black own business and having this establishment. It definitely is a great place please continue to soar.. thank you for being a black owned business. You all have outdone yourself. This is amazing for the community and again I cannot wait to come back... 5 stars and more
Shonnetta Gabriel
Wonderful resturante 🙌🏾. From start to finish! Dope DJ, our waitress Monica was the 💣 and on point. Great food, good music, wonderful people. I endorse this place. Will definitely be going back...
Sarah “bon” Jour
Went here a few weeks ago, and the food was good albeit maybe a little pricey for the portion ,and Mac &cheese bit greasy however I would definitely come back here to check out the lounge side, and would definitely get what I got last time. Also the service was a bit slower than expected, but it was a Saturday so that's probably why.
Paula McKinsey
Friendly staff, good atmosphere , vip could be a bit better as far as sectioning off areas.
Coisge McCullough
The place is a great atmosphere for relaxing and listening to music. It's ethnic and multicultural and it has the traditional feel for Ybor. The layout is good to choose between attending the restaurant to eat a meal or hanging out in historical Ybor city. A good place to visit.
Maria Outlaw
The food and drinks are amazing! I love the Loaded Nola! It is amazing and the catfish!! OMG!! Everything I've had has been good but the Loaded Nola is my favorite. 👍👍👍
Tina Nelson
I literally find any excuse I can to go eat and hang out at 7th grove, it is one of my favorite anytime spots for Lunch, Brunch & Dinner
Joseph Simmons
Where do I begin... This southern soul food joint gives you more that amazing comfort food but an experience that was worth the drive from Miami. The SERVICE, FOOD, GROOVE (Music), STAFF (Julissa excellent ⭐) Truly an Experience... We had no problem getting a table but I strongly recommend making reservations so you can enjoy the lounge area.
Whitney Savage
As a disclaimer, my friends and I have visited the establishment on several other occasions and had a great time. This is not about being unwilling or incapable of paying for drinks. This is about principle. If you decide to go and your bartender or waitress is Kamina, just sit somewhere else.
My friend and I arrived and sat at the bar. I ordered an Ari($14) and my friend had a Mariah ($13). A gentleman at the bar asked the bartender, Kamina, to put our drinks on his tab. We sat there and talked and my friend ordered another drink, an Ari ($14). I did not order an additional drink, however, Kamina came and gave me another Ari ($14) stating that the same man ordered it for me.
After the gentleman and his group pay their bill and leave, we get a tab for two Ari’s as well as included gratuity. When we brought it up to one of the other ladies behind the bar (after having paid it but wanting to sort any potential confusion) she went and got the manager for us. I explained the situation and he approached Kamina to get her side. Kamina immediately starts going off. The manager advised that the gentleman paid for our second round but not the first. Our first round of drinks did not consist of two Ari’s. When I stated that, he advised they were the same price so it didn’t matter. He stated that he wants us to be taken care of, but that he also needs his business to thrive. As to not escalate the situation, we left and the tab was paid. We got in contact with the gentleman who confirmed that he did in fact pay for both rounds of drinks.
Additionally, a member of his group bought shots. When bringing the shots, Kamina told him she was going to take a shot with us. She then put her shot on his tab as well.
My only assumption is that these things occurred so that Kamina could get an additional gratuity. So the establishment has gotten paid for the same drinks twice and Kamina has gotten the extra gratuity. If it was an oversight or mistake, then she should not be behind the bar taking shots and smoking weed pens if it will affect her ability to accurately run a tab.

I have been wanting to try this place out, finally was able to visit on a Friday night with a couple of friends. Service was slow and mediocre. Drinks were not as we expected. The food was good, but did not look that appealing my oxtails dish and pricey for that portion. Maybe it was just an off night for this establishment.
Trina
The food was awesome! I ordered All About The Benjamins....my lordt. Those gouda grits were so bomb. They were fast and efficient. Definitely coming back. My waitress was Jamila and she was super nice and pleasant❤❤
Seidah Smith
7th+Grove was great. The food was delish, absolutely loved the entree "rock the boat." The paintings on the wall were beautiful. So glad to support black owned business. Definitely a great spot.
Yakenya Israel
This place is absolutely gorgeous!! Food is so creative and very delicious, love the decor it's kinda a bohemian style,which gives it a really cool vibe, not to mention they have a lounge connected that also sales food drinks and hookah this place is definitely a good time go support
Janice Best
It is always such a great vibe there, wish they add fish to their brunch menu
Tafari Blackstock
Jamila & Jarvis were AMAZING, in town from NYC with UYFL youth football Nationals & came to 7th & Grove for Sunday Brunch with my Aunt; we had a Blast & the food was AWESOME!!!
** Thank you for a Great Experience, will definitely return when in the Tampa area!!!!

Tatiana Phil
I love going to 7th & grove. Good music, good vibes, and GREAT food. Santi is my fav server. Everytime I go there, I request him and he does an exceptional job! He also is a great bartender, it would be nice to see him bartend more (: 10/10
naquila gregory
Eat Vibe Flourish. The slogan for 7th and grove. I loved the atmosphere. Very chill laid back vibe. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We were excited to sit on a couch and eat dinner in a restaurant 🤯 loved the idea initially. However, it wasnt conditional for eating as the table was so high and the couch was so low. So as you sit you have no back support in order to eat. Also it's annoying that the entire couch has to move back in order for one to get up and use the restroom. I think if the tables we lower and wider it would allow restaurant goers to enjoy the actual idea of sitting on the coach at dinner. Now for the menu I must say I was not impressed. I expected more. They were paper menus that were soggy and kinda gross. I think if they'd laminate them like the drink menus it would be better. I ended up not even ordering food. However I did try the appetizers my husband order they were ok. The rollers were very thick and dry. I think they'd be better if they were pared with a sauce. He also ordered the shrimp and grits WHICH WERE FREAKING AMAZING!!! My daughter order a steak but it was made wrong. So we had to send it back and get . Jackie was our waitress. She was very sweet and accommodating. Long story short. Go to 7th and grove. Nothing on earth is is perfect. I'm definitely going back to try their brunch menu. It looked AMAZING!
Derek Lupo
Ronnie was one of the best servers I’ve had in a while, very attentive and kind and made sure all of our food came out exactly how we wanted. Would highly recommend this establishment and Ronnie to anyone.
Beverly Watson
Camera was an awesome server! The food was great. I got All about the Benjamin's and it was perfect! Great location for any occasion.
sandra pryor
I have experienced dining and have done bottle service at 7th & Grove and this place has amazing service! The staff is very organized and professional. Beautiful atmosphere, good music and great vibes. Highly recommended.
Laura Henderson
I cannot say enough good things about this place. The atmosphere is relaxed, great service (ask for Arnais) and the food! AMAZING!! My husband inhaled the shrimp and grits and I had the chicken and waffles. It is the best food we have had in I don't know how long. This place is a must go!!
Ciarra Flannigan
The brunch was a Vibe. The food was excellent, the service was great. Jarvis was the manager that day and went above And beyond to make sure we had a good experience.
Theo Anderson
Great music, friendly staff and a tremendous vibe!
We arrived shortly after midnight and walked right in, there were a few people in line but it flowed swiftly.
The admission was $15ea. for the general admission and bottle service was offered with the VIP line. The drinks were great and moderately priced. The bar staff were friendly and fairly fast considering the bar was packed from the time that we arrived! The general ambiance of the interior was a relaxed adult casual vibe. There were plenty on private section and general seating.
There was plenty of security patrolling and monitoring for the mask guidelines and general safety.
What I believe was upper management was constantly roving between guest and the bar, they also consistently made rounds to check on satisfaction 👍🏼
Over all we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the atmosphere!
I would definitely recommend!!!
keywon harvey
While visiting Tampa, I found 7th Grove. The menu had a variety of food choices and our server, Mr. Ronaldo was AWESOME!! Mr. Ronaldo was knowledgeable of the entire menu and he checked on our table often to make sure our food and drinks were on point. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Tampa and you have to ask for Mr. Ronaldo!
Jasmine Presmy
This restaurant is so good! The food is amazing with every bite it gets better!! Customer service was great as well as my lovely waitress, Jamila.
sharon durant
Ronnie is the best waiter in Tampa! Amazing service . Attentive to our large party of 10+ . I Highly recommend asking for him when you go !
Levele
(9/1/19 visit) Had the shrimp and grits. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The shrimp was tender. The grits had a great texture. Not too thick or watery. A just right balance. The sauce brought it all together. The venue itself was aesthetically pleasing. A sit down restaurant on one side and a lounge on the other. Service was good and quick. Will be back.
Lele Caketalk
Brunch was good love the food. Also the day party 🎉 is lit …

Patrice Featherstone
The vibe of 7th and Grove is sexy! It's all love and the food is great. Shout out to the door guy, who was getting it to Bruno Mars, for keeping the flow going - especially when the weather was horrible outside.
David Shaw
Genesis was an exceptional waitress, I’ll be requesting her every time I come in. She made sure to check on us every few minutes , and her vibes were immaculate. I’ll be back for sure!

Barbara Coaxum
Jamilia was phenomenal! She was Attentive, recommended some apps. We weren’t disappointed. The food and service was everything! Ask for Jamilia
EJ Eaton
7th + Grove was awesome! The restaurant is quaint and trendy with beautiful artwork. The food was great, it's southern cuisine with flair with different house crafted cocktails set to a 80's/90's R&B/Hip Hop/Pop soundtrack. They also have a lounge but I didn't visit that side...YET😊 …
Stephnie Miller
Our server Monica was such a vibe - beautiful and pleasant- as an out of town visitor she made my visit to Tampa so memorable ❤️
Kinzy B.
Good vibes, great food, Dj is always jamming, the place is just modern and beautiful in the inside, and the staff is kind. They have hookah, karaoke nights, and Sunday brunches. The only reason why I’m giving them 4 stars, your patience will be tested when it comes to purchasing food, I’m going to assume they’re lacking chefs to keep up with the busy hours.
Melissa Brown
My first time there. The ambiance was very nice. If I'm ever back down here. I shall return. Monica was a great hostess
Ernest Andrew
Loved the vibe of this spot. Looking forward to checking it out again. We came for the Saturday brunch and chilled at the bar with Bevin who took great care of us. The drinks were good and my dining compadres definitely enjoyed theirs. We also sampled from their menu. I went with the Flip the Switch flap jacks breakfast. At $15 I wanted a much more wow experience. It wasn't worth the price. I'm a breakfast fiend and I've had far better pancake breakfast meals for $12 and under. So my other suggestion and maybe this is because we are now coming back to things being opened but the front seemed a bit disorganized. I used to be a host at top notch restaurant in college and it seemed like things were in a disarray. However overall I give the spot a 4 stars for a wonderful first time experience. Oh yea the DJ was popping.
PS. Great mural on the walls. 👍🏾
James Smith
Ronnie was our waiter and he was awesome. Got us everything we needed and was quick. Great experience
Briajah Bradley
My first time eating here. The food was amazing the entertainment was great ! 10 thumbs up from me !
Shantee Hicks
Jarvis was amazing!! Very attentive and had beyond impeccable customer service. Camry maneuvered our group like a pro! Best Brunch ever, will definitely come back when I’m in Tampa.
Kylie Oliver
My friends and I had such a great experience here! The service was fast and the food was delicious. Our waitress Erykah was the best, she was super friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back soon.
DeNain Green
Jarvis Walker is amazing. Every time we visit 7th & Grove he is a familiar face and he just recently made sure my birthday celebration was phenomenal!!! He goes above and beyond to make sure the customer is satisfied. I wish there was a Jarvis every place we frequented.
Joseph Smith
Excellent experience great drinks atmosphere was everything I expected. Wait wasn't long on a Sunday mid morning, ordered Shrimp and grit cause the crab cakes were 86, but Jarvis the Manager pulled a couple crab cakes out the air and we were able to order what we really wanted. He really made the experience worth it went above and beyond to make us feel at home and comfortable. Shout out Raphael he was our server.
Alejandra Araiza
Great food and amazing service. Black owned business with a very artsy vibe. First time in Tampa and I’m glad I was able to check this place out.
Wendy Sims
This is my third time visiting the establishment. The food is soooo good and the staff is very friendly and professional. It took a little while for our food to come, but that’s because the restaurant was packed out! The wait was worth it though. I ordered the Lets Stay Together. The mac and cheese was delicious, so were the collards and the chicken was fried to perfection. Also, our waiter Ronny was excellent. He seemed to have a lot of tables, but was able to prioritize and maneuver just fine. I will definitely be coming back!
Eunice Williams
Went for birthday brunch, loved it
Brandon T
The party scene is popping on Saturday nights. Had to come back for the brunch in the morning. Food is delicious. The chefs here know how to cook. If you can’t make it to the party at night. Make it to Sunday brunches.
Jenni G.
Love the atmosphere, the peach bourbon chicken wings were good. The shrimp and grits were ok, all of the drinks were on point!
Keyona Brown
I loved this place. I wish we were there for the live band which I was told is every other Wednesday ( we went because it was my birthday) but the atmosphere was good. The music was nice throwbacks. The food was FIRE AF! I had The Nolia Clap...I still have leftovers & today's Friday 🤤 I would most definitely be returning & I absolutely love that it's African decor all through the place & it's very cute. Well certainly be returning. Find reminds me of back home🥰 Thanks for the birthday Glasses
Alene S
It was my first time. The food was sooooooooooooo delicious! I had 'What's your fantasy" and for dessert the banana pudding. You can taste the love in the food! The ambience? Classy, comfortable, and good vibes! First class customer service from the hostesses to the Manager, Christopher!
Beard Majesty
This place is the Vibe! Good food & music! Genesis was the best waitress/host! I will be coming back again!
People who are giving it bad reviews probably didn't experience the buffet/unlimited mimosas side of the restaurant.
People who give this restaurant anything lower than a 3 star rating are in their feelings....
W. A. Jones
My server was Tanaia. She was excellent. We were catching up and kept forgetting to study the menu. She was pleasant and patient. The food was delicious.
Shira Littlejohn
I went around 2pm. Very low key place. Once entered waitress smiles and friendly. Menu was exotic. I had the Love on the Bar! Great Chicken sandwich , fries were great, environment and music was warm and chill. Drinks were not watered down, didn't even get charged for extra any dressing or ranch.Food was hot and made fresh. Unique and great tasting. Loved it!!!!!
Carla Nesbit
Excellent food and exemplary service! Will definitely come back soon. This is a must try!
Miranda Johnson
This place is whole vibe! Beautiful inside and the music is great. The staff is so fun too! Especially our bottle girl Monica! We all had the best time! Also, highly recommend the lemon pepper honey wings…FIRE!
Allyson Fraser
This place is amazing! The food and service are above and beyond. Our server Brianna was so friendly and on point. The manager Jarvis came by and ask how everything was so obviously we had to tell him the food is amazing! We went for my girlfriends birthday and did brunch, its a must to check out! We do plan on returning again for sure.
Tavondra Price
This place is a whole vibe! Good mixture of Caribbean music and 90s was played. It was nostalgic! Monica was our bottle girl and her energy was unmatched. She made sure the ladies and I had a great time.
Andrew Daily

Wow, food is amazing. Service is amazing. Atmosphere is amazing. Some of the best food I’ve had in Tampa. Our server Ronaldo was so nice and accommodating. He helped us so much with our menu choices and helped us choose drinks! Thanks Ronnie!
Stephanie Love
This place is definitely a vibe with good service and delicious food. I met a friend there for dinner and catching up. Our waiter Ronnie was so patient with us making sure our food and drinks were to our liking and allowing us time to catch up without frequent interruptions. Definitely support this Black-Owned Business!
Julissa Gearing
This place is a must!! The music, attentive service and food❤️ Our server was Ronnie and he was amazing! Highly suggest coming here when you get the chance. The art work and vibrant colors make this place coming alive. Definitely suggest the Before I Let Go if you love French toast.
lee oliver
I had an amazing time at this venue. I was attending a election summit for Tampa voices matters community group and the atmosphere was amazing. The venue was well put together and clean and the food was definitely on point. I would recommend you have your next event or even just a friendly night out at 7th and Grove. They also adhered to all of the COVID-19 guidelines for safety and social distancing.
Tyrell Lightbourne
This spot is amazing. Atmosphere and food are on point. Will definitely be coming back when in town.
UAC Nadir
My experience was amazing!! The service from Jarvis and Erykah was exceptional. The food was great, the drinks were even better!!! They made my cousins birthday the best experience for someone not from this state!!
Amber Schram
I came from Orlando to have Sunday brunch here this past week with my daughter and the experience was great. Not only were the vibe and food great, but Jarvis made sure we were well taken care of and everything was handled in a timely manner. He went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of by all staff. I would definitely recommend and will come back again!
chanel Sanders
This is the spot to be. I bought my entire family here after my wedding during brunch time on a Sunday and if u ever been here u kno this place be jammed packed on Sunday’s. Jarvis made it happen so that my family all was seated and comfortable, he didn’t just sit us down and forget about us he came and make sure we was good the entire time. I highly recommend this spot Jarvis and the rest of the crew is the truth.
Emily Johnson
I had such a wonderful time at 7th + Grove. A few of my girlfriends and I dined here for a birthday dinner. The ambiance was a 10/10, the food was delicious, and the service was amazing. Despite the restaurant being very busy, our food came out super quick. I would definitely come back here! Loved it so much.
Shawana Vickers
Amazing experience as always! Came for my bday and again for brunch! Genesis our waitress was great - attentive to the table, and prompt - Also the manager Jarvis has great management skills - any concerns were addressed immediately and assisted us! Thank you 🙏🏾 …
Mario McCrary
We love this place! Jarvis is the best host you can ask for! Food is always delicious!! Cool drink names! We were in Tampa for the weekend and we went every day (closed on Mondays 🤨) If you’re in the area you gotta go!! …
Chelsea Brinson
We visited from GA and absolutely loved everything about the restaurant! Ronny our server was amazing! He shared his favorite dishes and had great customer service! We will definitely be back and will recommend to others!
Tru Royalty
Wonderful experience. The vibe was everything and the food was even better. Definitely would recommend and would return.
Tiffany Lewis
Jodee and her service and energy was FABULOUS. We loved having her during brunch today. She was responsive and kept the drinks flowing. Monica also brought the VIP level service. I love the personal touch she provided. My first time here was amazing! I can’t wait to come back.
Brenden Giffel
Amazing food and atmosphere. Staff was on point, management seemed appreciative. It was a perfect experience, and the “Sunny Daze” was the best meal I had in Tampa on my trip.
Sabryna J
Jarvis is the man! 7th + Grove is by far the best brunch spot I’ve ever been to… EVER! My girls and I were in town celebrating my best friend’s bachelorette and birthday and Jarvis took care of us from the moment we queued up at the door! We were waiting to get in and he came out with ice cold waters for us. Once we got inside our section was prepared so nicely and the atmosphere was LIT! We had sooooooo much fun and the unlimited mimosas were mixed really well. Now let me get on the soul food brunch! We were on the buffet side and trust me you will not be disappointed! Everything was seasoned to perfection and it was the perfect medley of savory and sweet. I could go on but just know this is a spot you NEED to go to!
Brittany Wiley
AMAZING!!!!! Yes there was a line outside to get in but ITS WORTH IT. I tried everyone’s food at my table and everything was PERFECT. I will definitely recommend and the service and attention to detail was a A plus. Shout out to Ronnie our waiter for the best service. Yaw better come or you gonna miss out. And it’s a GREAT BLACKED OWNED BUSINESSES.
Britney Ball
Food was very flavorful. The Jerk chicken egg rolls are a must !
John Perry
Friendly service, attractive and comfortable interior and atmosphere, and most importantly, delicious food. This was my first visit, but definitely won't be my last.
adara moultrie
10/10 I highly recommend if you’re ever in Tampa but honestly the food and the atmosphere is so amazing it’s worth paying a visiting. From the front door down to the bathroom everything was everything! This was my type of carrying on and I’ll definitely be back!
Samuella Ware
I came here for Sunday brunch. The food was delicious and service was fast and everyone was courteous. The manger went around to every table and introduced himself and made sure our service was good. I would highly recommend
Marla Batista
The cocktails and food were amazing! The atmosphere was just fantastic! Ronnie's service was excellent! Would love to go back again while in town.
Erinn Daniels
Our staff enjoyed dinner & fellowship at this fine establishment. The food was tantalizing, the vibe was right and the customer dry vibe was top tier. Mr. Jarvis Walker, the front house manager, provided first class customer service. You never a second chance to make a first impression. Mr. Walker's attentiveness to our needs surpassed my expectations. This is definitely one of my must go to spots whenever I visit the Tampa area.
Deb T
Loved the atmosphere, the service was great, and the food was amazing! The menu has so many great choices it was difficult deciding what to order. I was there at lunchtime and ordered the Afro Cuban sandwich and Parmesan fries. They were both fantastic!
I highly recommend trying 7th and grove!
Craig Woodruff
Just had dinner there last night, great restaurant for southern food and great cocktails. My table had the shrimp and grits, catfish and grits, and fried chicken with mac & cheese - all were delicious. Would definitely recommend the Megan Thee Stallion Margarita.
Michael Schultz
Went in last week to get a few drinks with the wife.. had an amazing experience with the bartender Asia. Made us feel very welcomed and reccomended some tasty drinks! Will definitely be back!
Buster Levin
We had a great time at a Chamber function there. The food is absolutely incredible and the service is awesome.
Janelle Noriega
Issa viiibe come out, and meet Camry she is super sweet. We are definitely coming back!!!!!!
Ashley Hudson
Kay told us to come in for Brunch and it was fantastic. I’ve never sat on the lounge side and we completely enjoyed it. Aaron and Kamina were the bartenders and they were fantastic. The food was sooooooo good omg!!!! Definitely will be back.
Tomika Ferguson
Great southern food. Manager was phenomenal and resolved some issues immediately. Would recommend getting a reservation and avoiding the Brussel sprouts. Appetizers are amazing as are the oxtail and seafood.
Food of CT
While hanging out in Ybor City, we stopped for some pre-dinner drinks and apps at 7th + Grove. We were really drawn in by the vibe just from walking by! The neon light signs, beautiful lounge, and fun music made this a great place to sit and relax. The drinks and wings we had were great! Our server was friendly, and everything came out quickly.
Lorraine Cornillie
Amazing food, delicious cocktails. Ronnie rules!!!
P “God's Property” N
This place is amazing!!! Food was super delicious and service was amazing! Definitely check them out if your in the Tampa area!!!!
Alyce Perkins
This place is a vibe. A great vibe. Music and food is always good. It's a sophisticated vibe but you can get a little ratched too. It's also a safe environment. I love this place!
Markesha Smith
Food was great….staff was friendly and helpful for this to be the first time I have been here I loved it and I will be returning and bringing more people with me……..shout out to Ronny and Ben for a great experience
James martin
Lets be honest, the brunch sucks, the food was so bad i ate just a little. The waffles tasted and felt they were from walmart. The food was not hot just lukewarm. Now, the atmosphere that part was awesome, ibsaw black people of all shades having a great time. Nobody fighting, arguing, or shouting angrily at each other, just African Americans having a place where they can be black and proud. What other restarant you can go and everybody breaks out into a line dance of the electric slide. I was proud to be a black man. And i never felt i was going to be hurt. I will go back bad food and all just to experience blackness. But really, yall need to do something about the food. Other than that, i give 7th and grove a 100.
Romeo J. Ballayan
Amazing freaking Place man!!!! And Jarvis is INCREDIBLE!!! He treated us with so much love and respect!!! I appreciate a black owned business with just exceptional service!!! Listenn!! Bring alll your friends, aunties, cousins, uncles, like errr body! You will have an amazing time!!!
Mia
Everything here was so great: food, the drinks, the ambiance, and our bartender Asia! she made our experience unforgettable! We’ll definitely be coming back here!
Davicia Neves
2nd time coming here. Amazing as usual. Jarvis (the general manager I think) was great and super hospitable. The food, drinks, atmosphere... Everything is incredible.
Kt Din
Love this spot! Tampa has needed this for a long time. Especially in Ybor. Listen, there's no other restaurant in the city that can match the quality of the food at 7th & Grove! Took my wife and daughter for brunch and it was EVERYTHING.
Angel Luna
It was OK. I didn't have any of the food but hung out at the lounge area. I feel like its way too expensive to get in with a $30 cover plus expensive drinks that seem watered down. The environment was pretty chill. I'll try it again maybe this was an off night for them.
Hensley Cansler
One complaint... the website says no reservation instead of no reservations required. I recommend you do make one. Food was excellent, drinks were great and Service matched.
Michelle Chettiath
Hosted a work event at 7th + Grove and could not recommend it more! Friendly staff, fabulous ambiance, and amazing food! Thank you to everyone at 7th + Grove and EVF Catering Group for helping us put on a great event!
Adancie Theodil
Went to 7th + Grove this past Saturday for brunch and I must say the service was awesome. Jarvis, the manager was very accommodating and went out of his way to ensure our brunch was enjoyable. The food was amazing and the servers Julia and Genesis keep the drinks flowing. We will be returning soon.
Raki B
The vibes here are always grand. Drinks pictured are Ari Lennox 🍓 and Meg The Stallion 🥭. The food was great and so was the live music 🎶🎷
Brandi Rankin
Amazing staff!! Food is delicious you can’t go wrong no matter what you order. Brunch kills it there on atmosphere. Highly recommend⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Melody Goitom
My family and I had a great time at brunch on Sunday. Good fun, great music and excellent customer service
S S
Great spot. This was an impromptu visit so we weren't there long but plan to go next weekend. Food is delicious, definitely recommend the shrimp and gouda grits. This is a club version of brunch. They have an upscale lounge side which serves cocktails too. The only complaint I have is the music was so loud I have a sore throat from screaming at the people at my table and yelling my food order. I love loud music, but this was one or two clicks too high.
Ponch Allen
Omg I loved this place the food was amazing.
Lola Stackz
Great place. I went for brunch and didn’t even eat because I was lit dancing and singing. There’s a club side and a restaurant side. Their day parties are great. Just wish that brunch wasn’t buffet style on the club side and wish that they can actually serve you. But it was a great time. My bottle girl Monica was great! Will book a section with her again in the future
L.A. Martin
The food was delicious!! Bri was amazing as our server. Jarvis was amazing as well! Our whole experience was a whole vibe.
Tranice Hill
This place is a vibe! This was my first time here Roni was great he was kind and helpful. Food came out super fast. Experience here is 10/10 food was pretty good
Camp Si
The first time I came here inwas disappointed by the service. But I wrote them off but I came back a year later and I was pleased by the service this time around. I was there for their happy hour. I must say their jerk egg rolls are the 💣💥 I was too greedy to snap a pic. My apologies. …
Rena P
Had part 2 of my bachelorette party here during quarantine. Club was crowded but everyone was social distancing. Drinks were strong. Masks @belegendarytoo on ig
Raynee Maldonado
I had the Never too much and jokes aside the moment I had a bite of the ribeye I teared up a little it was soooo good!!! the staff is great overall very attentive worth every dollar
Donovan Dean
Had a great time! The food was amazing and my server Jamila was extremely nice and helpful!! I 100% recommend.
D Ford
The food was good. The portion size of the shrimp and grits was deplorable for $27.00. Grits and veggies are inexpensive give larger amounts.
Vonecia Carswell
The vibe and aesthetics here are amazing! Super welcoming staff and delicious Southern comfort food options with a twist. Definitely a hot spot for brunch or dinner.
Shasta C
We are travelling and came to this fantastic place for Sunday brunch. Ordered the sunny daze and fried green tomatoes. Food is fantastic and the service was warm and friendly. Really enjoyed our delicious meals (and mimosas) and would highly recommend. The general vibe was just so enjoyable.

jade thomas
7th & Grove Brunch was a whole vibe! S/o to our bartender Monica she took care of us. And MC Busta Bus for hosting 🔥🔥🔥
Annette Blakley
First time ordering to go from this restaurant. I ordered Crush on You which is Penne pasta with jerk chicken, shrimp, collards, creole jerk sauce and bread. Delicious 😋 $23 but worth it. Can't wait to go back to try other dishes 😊 …

Sonja Felton
Came back again! Once again, the food was amazing & Julia provided excellent service! We sat outside. Had a slight issue with my meal, but Jarvis handled it promptly & with the utmost professionalism & courtesy. Best brunch spot in Tampa Bay. 4/10/2022
The food is amazing!! The service is top notch & Jarvis along with the management staff are VERY accommodating! My permanent seat is on the restaurant side at the bar with Juan in the kitchen!!
Tikabhot Spencer
Love this place! Went there for the day party on Sunday! Go see Monica she is the best!
J G
Since the first time I came and every time since then, Jarvis has given customer service that not only has been phenomenal and exemplar but also welcoming to make us keep returning. I know I’ll have a great time from brunch to the day party with the delicious food, mimosas, and music! And don’t forget the beautiful ambiance of the decor! Trust me, good vibes all the way around
SIBBREENA ADELL-SENEGAL
The hostess Stephanie is AMAZING!!! I called Friday inquiring about the layout and reservations and she was so pleasant. I then called Saturday with similar questions and she was just as nice. On Saturday I visited the restaurant and by the sweet service I knew it had to be the lady I talked to over the phone. Thanks for the excellent service.
Saleema Board
Jerriett, Mr. Marshall & Team did an amazing job of providing a VIP experience from beginning to the end. From our luxury transportation down to providing additional champagne with our bottle service. Our only disappointment was not being able to experience the full menu due to a set menu for the weekend. Our food was good, but we wanted more options to choose from. The team treated us like one of their own!
Katlyn Pumphrey
The owner and manager are amazing. This may have been my best experience in Tampa. Not only is the food the best food I've ever had, but this spot has the VIBES and the BEST customer service. The management and owner just really care.
Incredible, and will continue to support this business.
PS. SUPPORT BLACK OWNED BUSINESSES, woman owned at that!
Whitney Sutton
Great vibes, beautiful scenery, delicious food! Jarvis the manager is amazing and was so nice to make sure our experience was a great one. Our server Raphael took great care of us. Get there early for brunch! Will definitely return soon
Erika Vinson
The food is amazing! Shout to Juan in the kitchen he always makes my Rock the Boat perfectly! The drinks are great and they are always playing the best music! I come for brunch, lunch and dinner and I am never disappointed! Not to mention the excellent customer service! The managers are always so nice and welcoming and the other staff members are always so sweet! Camry ( I hope I spelled that right) is the best! I highly recommend!
Shinar Sanford
Came today for the first time with friends from New Orleans, La. The food was excellent!!!!! Taste just like home. Ronnie our wait staff was sweet and awesome!!!! The manager Jarvis is a great guy, came to our table welcomed us and shared his experience with the restaurant. The food and drinks were delicious. I recommend this establishment to locals and visitors!!! 😊
Genesis Quinonez
I had really high hopes for this place. We gave the food a 7/10. It was good, but not as flavorful as we’d thought it be. The food choices are creative, and the collards were amazing. Unfortunately the service wasn’t the best. We waited for 45 minutes. We only got sat because we went on a walk because we were bored sitting in the couch… the host didn’t text us to let us know the seats were available. When we got back and saw that there were tables empty we looked at her and she sat us right away. Our waiter took forever to come over and when she did she brought a container of water but no cups. The table was super small as well so with an appetizer and two plates it was uncomfortable. We had to ask for the check three times, and the host reminded our waitress twice. Overall, service was very meh and a pain, but the ambiance, aesthetic, and food were decent.
Channon Jefferson
I love the food here, it is definitely a vibe! I come here and enjoy myself each time and the service I recieved from my waitress, Mayra was amazing! I sat at the bar and witness how hard Rodolfo, the chef, was working with a smile on his face!! It's a vibe all around and I will continue to travel from Orlando for the food and great vibes! I will be back for their Sunday brunch!
Janelle Golphin
I had an opportunity to eat here this past weekend. My cousins and I were there as a group of 6. Immediately upon coming in there was an overwhelming smell of spoiled mop water. She then proceeded to take us to our table located next to the bathroom. The smell was worse. I asked if we could move and she reseated us. This time our entire table was sticky. They came back and wiped it down with clean water. Drinks were good, however our food was definitely cooked different times. Parts were cold and parts were hot. The waitress took it back and heated it in the microwave and mix up the plates. There were 2 different sources of music playing at the same time in the dining area. But the food was amazing.
rachel glockman
the food and the service was absolutely spectacular!! The music was awesome! the atmosphere was great, I had such a great time, Janisa was so good with us, I’m so glad Ybor can have fun and comfortable spots like these!😄I can’t wait to go back again, I should’ve taken my leftovers 😩😂 …
Katerra Canady
Love 7th&Grove! From the events to the food to the bartenders, it is always a vibe. I love the music and the events the staff curates are always so glamorous. This is the first place I take all my visitors from outside the state. I know we are always going to enjoy no matter the time or day. My favorite bartender is Hazel by the way! She’s so helpful, always smiling, and she’s fast. She also a baddie, which I mean all the bartenders are cute, but my Hazel top tier! Love Gabby too. All the girls do a phenomenal job. It’s always a good time.
Denise Wilburn
Visited this restaurant on last night and enjoyed the entire experience. The atmosphere is a whole vibe! The restaurant was quite busy and we were seated within a few minutes. The restaurant DJ played an array of old and new skool music. I relished the Let's Stay Together and it was quite tasty. The entire staff was courteous and professional. Jarvis introduced himself and made conversation. He made our visit even more pleasurable, ensuring that we were satisfied and comfortable. Love this place!
Lori H
Let me say that this was a wonderful culinary experience. My meal started with the "Snoop Dog" Crafted Cocktail. Followed with a "Cry Me A River" appetizer of catfish & and the best fried muffins ever. The "Let's Dive In" catfish, over linguine and crab entree was also amazing. Overall the meal was a 10+.
The resturant itself has a great vibe and the service was outstanding. Thank you Bree for making my first visit to 7th & Groove a 5-Star experience.
CASHMERE EDWARDS
Good food great customer service and nice live music... Enjoy the moment
Liana Marie
Stopped by for happy hour since we noticed they have good specials on food and drinks. The drinks I had were tasty but not strong. We ordered 4 or so appetizers and they were all good. Our server Taylor was excellent !
Brandie Gayhart
Good drinks, good food, good atmosphere. We went on a weekday afternoon. They are open for lunch now. We had drinks, a hookah, and a small meal. The food was so good. I don't remember what it was called but it was chicken with greens and Mac and cheese. I got a smoked old fashioned as well. All the workers were so friendly.
andriea gant
Jamila was very pleasant and courteous. The food and atmosphere was a vibe!! Thanks for a good time!
Dr. Antwan P
The food is amazing! Visited in August and food was so great decided to come back in October from DC. Some of the staff, less than stellar. There is a young lady at the front door who seems to hate every living being that doesn’t work at the restaurant. No smile, no hello, and when you ask a question she acts as if it’s the dumbest question she has ever heard. Encountered her both times I visited. Servers were nice, but we go for the food so we deal with the mediocre service. But with this last visit the final straw was after we were taking pictures at front of restaurant. The young lady at the door said, “I’m not trying to rush you but we’re waiting on you.” At that, we left. I even forfeited the deposit I had already paid to attend the lounge connected to the restaurant. But if you want great food, please go! It’s Black owned and the decor is amazing, and the gumbo is the best I’ve had in my life. I’ve recommended this place to everyone because of the food. If you want a grade A experience, this place ain’t it, but if you want grade A food, please go!
Brian Davis
I love supporting Black businesses but this one may be slightly over-priced for what it's worth, probably due to the location. It's in Ybor so parking is a challenge. The food was indeed delicious as I've heard, but the service was hit or miss at times. I ordered the smoked bourbon, which they're supposed to smoke tableside, but unfortunately I had to watch what the experience was supposed to look like from the next table over, because apparently my server, while very polite with a smile, didn't feel like doing it to my drink. It's hard to give honest feedback on the tablet when paying the check, as they're standing over you, watching you with it. Nice vibe on the lounge side, when there isn't a private event (or brawl) taking place.
Karina Alcala
The service was outstanding. Food was delicious we literally cleaned the plate off. Highly recommend.
Merci Deez
Lovely ambiance. Good vibes. Delicious food. Yummy cocktails. Limited dining space so for large groups RSVP early!
Crystal Brown
The food, the atmosphere and the customer service was excellent! Ronnie our host was awesome. He assisted with drink and menu choices and he didn't disappoint! An overall awesome experience.
Bridget Cox
My cousins and I had a blast!! The food and vibe was definitely on point!! The staff worked as a team to accommodate our party size! We will definitely return! Shout out to Jarvis for the awesome hospitality!! Thank you 7th n Grove!!💜 …
Jessica Adams
I went to 7th and Grove for my cousin’s birthday and I had an amazing time. The food was so good, which is a plus because nowadays it’s a hit or a miss when you go out to eat but all of the food was delicious. Monica was so attentive to our needs and she went above the call of duty to make sure we had a really good time. Not to mention the owner, Lila came to our table to make sure we were having a nice time and she is so down to earth. Also, Lila took pictures with all us and invited us to come back in the future. I would highly recommend this venue to anyone who is looking to have a nice time and celebrate a special occasion.
Kingdom Transportation
Ronnie was an excellent server. He made my 1st visit great. Will come back.
Kayla Hendricks
Monica was amazing. She took care of our whole party and made us feel welcome

Amazing food .The street corn is amazing. The catfish looks amazing & smells like. true Ga fish fry . The decor & table setting is cozy & beautiful. The staff are friendly & kind . Malcom is amazing. He got me all set with a seafood sauce that is. Not seafood but served on seafood tacos . It made my Up & away Taco even better . Malcom made you feel like you had gathered at a family gathering on the weekend to enjoy a meal . His hospitality & joy filled smile makes the day better. Highly recommended this amazing Black Owned Business

After seeing so many recommendations on FB to try this restaurant while in the Tampa area, I decided to make a reservation. When we arrived the hostess were very nice. Jamacia was an amazing waitress. She was very attentive from beginning to end. The food was hands down the best we had our entire time while in Tampa. The snoh aalegra cocktail was amazing as well. Anytime we’re in the city we’ll be stopping by and recommend to everyone.
Clara Miller
Nice environment great drinks appetizers (wings) were fire!!! Bit can you offer wet wipes...js

The food and the atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Our server Raphael was attentive to all our needs. Jarvis gave an amazing customer service for my group of sisters. I will definitely recommend this place. Visiting here from New York was great.

First time here and it was such a great experience! Monica was great and so attentive. She always had a smile every time she approached the table. The place has such a nice vibe too, will definitely be visiting again soon!
Alicia Akins
The food is great. The club is a vibe on its own.
Stephanie Martinez
The food and vibe is great but the management is what made me give this place a 5 star. There was a miscommunication with table reservation and the manager Jarvis showed us great hospitality by rectifying the situation and giving us a great experience. We were able to enjoy great food and drinks. Will definitely come back again.
