The restaurant has a new name, but it looks like the same woman is in charge. She wasn’t very friendly or welcoming.
The food is pretty much the same, and I almost enjoyed my meal. The toast wasn’t buttered, and I had to ask for butter. There was no jelly, and when I asked for hot sauce, I noticed the bottle had been used by multiple tables, and was told it was the last that they had. It was pretty gross! The container was wide open, and I worried it could be contaminated and full of germs.
The same woman, as shown in the picture, passed by other tables without checking mine to see if anyone needed anything. I had to go to the counter three times to request items.
It’s really disappointing because I’ve been recommending this place for years. I brought some friends with me today since we were in town for an event, but I don’t think they’ll want to come back, and I’m sad I can’t say good things about it anymore.

Been driving past this place for years…finally had the chance to try it out, delicious breakfast! Food came out quick, hot, and tasty!! Those grits were sooo good! And the pancakes were fluffy and flavorful. Omelettes were delish too. Highly recommend!

Nice outdoorsy atmosphere, first time coming here and I was impressed. I ordered the Andhra Chicken Curry with the Garlic Naan & Lemon Rice Let me tell you it did not disappoint. I’m a regular customer now. I also tried the Chicken Korma and that was amazing. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for authentic Indian food

The Channelside Bar & Grill is such great spot! I loved the vibe, the music was super chill. The owner was super nice and pleasant. I had the Carne Asada Fries and they were fire !!!! I tried the hookah for the first time and I liked it a lot. The pricing for the food and drinks are very reasonable. You definitely need to come here if you haven’t.

For the past almost 3 years I have driven past this location not knowing it was a cafe!! I drove past this morning and stopped in, and lo and behold, it was the cutest little cafe spot. I got an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with sausage and it was AMAZING! Seriously a great way to start my day. This will be my go to spot for breakfast. Cannot wait to try other items on their menu.

Channelside Bar and Grill is where it’s at! Comfortable outdoor seating and the best food dishes ever made in Tampa! Chef Will is outstanding! He is a very talented and savvy cook in all the dishes he makes. If you want an amazing, flavourful meal for a decent price, you definitely need to try Channelside!

The chef special salad and carne asade fries were delicious. So much flavor. Love the new outdoor space with music too – nice vibe and a wonderful addition to the neighborhood.

Formerly known as Zelda’s, this place has always been a staple of the Channelside district. One of my go to local breakfast and lunch joints that doesn’t break the bank.
The updated exterior and interior is such a welcome addition, and the staff as usual is always friendly and kind.

Come support a local awesome business.
