Best Takeout Food Restaurants in Tampa

"At over 110 years old, the Columbia Restaurant is Florida’s oldest restaurant and has been in the same family for nearly five generations. Founded in 1905, what started out as a 60-seat corner cafe, now encompasses an entire city block and holds the title of the world’s largest Spanish restaurant. After several renovations, including a US$6.5 million (around UK£5.1 million) renovation project back in 2005, the historic site can now seat nearly 1,600 people."

"More than just a restaurant, Columbia is a Tampa institution. Since 1905, this living history lesson has been serving some of the most authentic Spanish/Cuban food in Tampa Bay. The menu is expansive, spanning a wide array of traditional beef, pork, and seafood dishes made in the same way for generations."

"Note: Some of the restaurants in this list may currently have limited hours or menus. We recommend visiting each restaurant’s website for current updates on closures, menus and hours."

"Located at the Tampa Bay History Center on Tampa's Riverwalk, the Columbia Cafe offer many of the dishes we love from the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor right here in Downtown Tampa!. Open daily from 11 am to 9 pm enjoy the 1905 Salad, Miranda's Ybor City Deviled Crab Croquette and other  Spanish favorites like Picadillo, Cuba’s most popular blue plate special made with finely chopped ground beef braised with onions, peppers, raisins, olives and capers. Finish a beautiful lunch along the river dining al fesco, or inside the cafe alongside an original wood bar, and don't forget to finish with traditional Flan or their decadent White Chocolate Bread Pudding."

"Often described as the Heart of Tampa, the historic district of Ybor City was at one time the cigar capital of the world. Immigrants came from countries such as Spain, Cuba, and Italy and rolled millions of cigars each year. Nowadays, this charming district is as famous for its restaurants and boutiques, as well as the free range chickens, which roam around."
