Joel's Brew Pub - Nowatney

Made a reservation on Friday via Yelp! for our group of 4. When we arrived, the restaurant seemed busy, but a sign indicating please seat yourself gave us the flexibility to choose where we wanted to sit. We sat at a high top table for four and were given menus instantly. However, no server approached our table to take drinks, although we could see them at the bar chatting amongst one another. After about 20 minutes of waiting, one of our group members flagged down the servers huddled amongst one another and asked if any of them would be willing to help us. A young lady approached our table and mentioned we 're not her table, but she could help. Her service was great. My husband and our friend had the beer braised brisket sandwich, which they thought was delicious. I had the shrimp and grits and felt the amount of butter in the grits overpowered the elements of tomato, sauce, and the shrimp. I also felt that 4 pieces of shrimp was not enough relative to the amount of grits on the plate. Our other friend had the blackened shrimp on toast which she thought was delicious! All in all, I 'm giving 3 stars for the service and for my own personal preference on the particular meal I chose.

Terrible service. We ordered a Mac and Cheese and waited over an hour. Will never be back.

Excellent brew pub with a good selection of food and beers. My wife and I stopped for lunch on a Monday. It wasn't busy so decided to check it out. I ordered the shrimp Mac and cheese and my wife had the champignon flatbread. The Mac and cheese was good with a decent amount of andouille sausage and shrimp. My wife enjoyed the flatbread as well. As I mentioned the beer selection was good. I had the Pablo IPA and thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was excellent as well. Will definitely go back when in Ybor city.

The BEST place in Ybor for great (and we mean GREAT food, good selection of beers, and fantastic service. The owners and manager, Josh, are very visible and you can tell that the staff enjoy working with these people. We enjoyed brunch back in May and I still remember the deliciousness of every food item the 4 of us shared. Brunch with live music every Saturday and Sunday is a MUST DO this weekend for you and your family. Lunch today was a prosciutto flatbread and a roasted chicken sandwich with burrata on toasted Cuban bread. The flavors were exceptional today. Maybe it was the window seat where we enjoyed stellar service from Tessa and a cool rooster crossing 7th Avenue spotting that added to the flavors! Whatever it was, my husband and I declared we will be back soon for their memorable giant pretzel with just the right amount of salt and super soft every time we order it. The cheese sauce mustard are the perfect accompaniments but we just knew we had no room for it today. We have enjoyed craft beers during the Lightning games both downstairs with TVs aplenty and upstairs where the Zydeco team projects the games on a huge white brick wall! (So YBOR! Can 't wait for football season to hit and meet friends for some great football with excellent food. I know, a place with TVs all around AND great tasting food?!?! Zydeco 's menu is deep and full of fun, quality options!

Called in today from UK for a tasty lunch, the place is traditional modern in style with a great selection of food and drink. The shrimp po boy was immensely tasty, really plump and juicy! The service is very efficient and friendly with a laid back atmosphere. A great find, you won't be disappointed.
