813 Salad And Seafood

I have been by this place several times and it has not been open. I arrive on Sat at noon (the time 813 should be open). I knocked on the door, no one answered. I called the number on groupon and it said it’s not accepting calls. Called the number on the door of 813, said try again and I tried several times — no answer. I don’t know if this place is for real. I called groupon and cancelled my certificate. This is sad — I really wanted to support a small business. I gave one star — never tasted the food.

I wet there a few ago for lunch and the Groupon. it had a value of $ 20.00. The groupon did state that Lobster Salad was not included. No problem. I attempted to order a dish with crab and was told not accepted. OK, so i asked for a recommendation and the girl said get the chicken and shrimp stir fry. So I gis, not sure what is stir fried here, but the chicken and shrimp were overcooked. The broccoli was mush and the huge amount of rice was tasteless. Oh, that dish was $ 15.00. When I paid the girl said I owe her $ 1.40 tax. I wanted to get a few waters to go withe extra groupon money. And she said I couldn’t. DO NOT GO HERE! The pictures in the reviews are misleading and the people not very honest.

Nice to have another West Tampa neighborhood option. This one is on Main Street, near Howard and hopefully will be more enduring than other eateries that have tried to make it nearby. Odds are better because it offers a different menu… specializing in salad and seafood… plus more common comfort food lunch specials for very reasonable prices,…pork chops, burgers, etc
Using a Groupon, we tried hefty salads… one fried fish and one grilled chicken… both with all the trimmings, including avocado, cukes, cheese, black olives, etc. A generous, complete meal for $ 10 each. served up in about 10 minutes. You need to park on the street, but no problem, even in an area labelled as «sketchy» by some. Was also able to walk across the street to buy a beer to go at the big yellow 305 Club. We hope to visit again and hope others give them a try. Support local business and employment.

This is the fried chicken and shrimp salad. You can’t get lobster with your groupon but you can get anything else. It’s absolutely delicious. Try calling your order in. It’s small and their only table is outside. Everyone was really nice and you could tell that a lot of people in this neighborhood like the food and owner. I felt like this was authentic southern fish. They also do a lunch special. Very reasonable. Plan for about a 20 – 25 min wait if you order on the spot. The owner makes everything from scratch.

On occasion, really good food get dished out of dumpy, hole-​in-​the-​wall restaurants. This is not one of those occasions. This review is based on food, service, cleanliness, atmosphere, and value.
They open at 11:00, and by that, I mean the owner (?) strolls in at 11:05 and starts getting ready for customers. She didn’t seem to be happy about having customers. She was impatient, and rude. Maybe that’s why we were the only ones there for that 30 minute period while we waited.
The place is not big enough to accommodate dine in, so it’s take out only. That’s probably a good thing, because the little 4′ by 8′ area I did step foot in was filthy. I would have walked out, but I had already bought a Groupon offer. Dam you Groupon!!!
The food was expensive for the portion and quality. I ordered the stir fry shrimp. It only came with 6 tiny shrimp, which was a disappointment, but the kicker was I didn’t enjoy anything about the dish. It was overly salty (and I love salt), and the veggies were mush. 90% of the dish was rice.
Even with the Groupon, I would say the value is bad. The food isn’t good, the menu is limited, and the service stinks. Can’t say I’ll return.

The portions are great the lobster, seafood and rice was amazing. Although it lacks any kind of ambiance the food made the trip worthwhile.
