It’s been a while since we’ve been to G.G. … was nice to be back and notice some nice changes since a few year’s ago. The outdoor patio is inviting and the umbrellas provide welcome shade. The menu is considerable and features something for any taste and appetite. The Cuban Sandwich is excellent! Will be back to try some other items like Quesadillas, etc.

This place has a great atmosphere. One side of the restaurant is more family friendly with live music and good food to enjoy. The other side I would say is more for adults. Good music, hookahs and delicious drinks. Always encounter great people and lots of fun!

If you’re in YBOR City, then go here. I had a Cuban Sandwich with plantain chips and the house made Sangria. The sandwich was really tasty and perhaps the best interpretation of a Cuban Sandwich that I have had. The sangria was ok, but lacked depth and body.
The reason for the 4* is that the bartender/waitress was on her phone more than she was attending customers. There were only about 4 or 5 people at the bar, but her phone distracted behavior made us wait for service.

What an awesome place! They really know how to throw a party. We came here around 10pm and were immediately drawn to the music as the DJ was rocking some 90s hits. Bartender was super nice and provided fast service while still being kind and friendly. They do have hookahs with many flavours for only $40. The hookah guys was great and super nice. Helped us with maintaining our hookah and also deciding on our flavour. Did not want to leave this place because we were all having so much fun

Solid bar wings. Got the signature and the PB&J. The fry between the wings was a little inconsistent, but the flavor was good. PB&J wings slapped.

Their call in order system is awful. I had to call multiple times 10 minutes apart to get ahold of anyone. When I showed up, they said nobody ever actually sent in the order. The restaurant was empty and the staff was just sitting at the bar. There have been 2 other times when they had incorrect toppings & missing sauces. they didn’t give me the dipping sauce for wings or loaded fries, which was came with just cheese after telling me it came with a ton of stuff. Today they asked if i wanted sauces, i said yes, they didn’t include it in the order. and now i have a burger with no ketchup and a caesar with no dressing. genuinely don’t know why the staff is so inaccurate with call in ordering.

Gaspar’s Grotto has a truly unique atmosphere that sets it apart. The eclectic decor and lively vibe are definitely a draw. Prices are reasonable and the staff were all very friendly.
However, our experience was hampered by significant delays. It took over an hour for two orders of chicken wings to arrive, and they were unfortunately prepared with the wrong sauces. However, the wings were still pretty good. We also encountered long waits to even get a bartender’s attention for drink orders.
Despite these service hiccups, the overall experience was still enjoyable. Make sure you take advantage of the beer and shot for $5!

Came here expecting a greater fusion experience but was a bit disappointed. The plates were good, but nothing remarkable. It appears to me that their focus is the bar and not the food. I couldn’t particularly recommend any of the three dishes that we had. Nobody noticed that no silverware or napkins were delivered to our table. Good beer specials if you order before 8 pm. Both indoor and outdoor seating

Great atmosphere and friendly service, but the food was genuinely bad. I sent my meal back because it was mushy, bland, and had no flavor — and I still had to pay for it. I was left hungry and ended up ordering only a side of fries. No one even asked why, which says a lot about how much they care about food quality or customer feedback.
If you care about good food, don’t eat here. If you just want a beer or a drink, this place is fine.

Got the breakfast skillet to go. Supposed to have onions, pepper, and cheese but my plate had like 2 pieces of peppers and a sad slice of onion and no cheese. Pretty disappointing as I ordered this for the veggies. Id go 3 stars bc the rest of it was pretty good but I called to talk to a manager about it and they couldn’t be bothered to talk to me. Tough
