Lonni's Sandwiches Etc - Tampa

This place was packed before a Tampa Bay Lightning game and we entered with low expectations, but wanted to at least grab a drink after our long drive over from the beach. Well we walked in just as two people were leaving and not only got a drink immediately, but were able to order food which came out quickly. The service was excellent and the food was delicious! Impressive!!! BONUS: You can catch the pre-game show while you enjoy your dinner!

Brunch was absolutely delicious! Our waitress was so sweet. We had such an amazing time and enjoyed great food. Highly recommend for bottomless mimosas/**** mary’s.

Nice quirky little spot in downtown Tampa. It’s got an English pub name, though you’ll be disappointed if you’re expecting a traditional English pub. Still a great spot to have a drink while watching a game. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and it was pretty quiet but only because there weren’t any games going on until the evening. They had a good selection of beers, both on tap and bottled. I can’t speak for the food as we only had drinks. They have both an inside and outside (open air but still covered) bar. Would love to go back when a game is on to experience the atmosphere.

The food was pretty good. Some of the wings were a little burned. I peeled the burnt skin off and ate the meat with the coconut curry sauce (which was really good). There was live music as well.

Cask and Lion is pretty great, but it 's not a 5-star in Tampa in my book. The atmosphere and menu is super fun and quirky British pub, but the place is functionally an all-American sports bar. Fantastic location if you 're hungry and already wandering downtown. I 'd come here with a group, especially people from work, or for a game or special occasion, but not for 'dinner ' with friends, and not with family/kids. The music was good (really good actually, for live music), but too loud to carry on an active conversation without being loud yourself. The menu is authentic-ish, and the prices are great for what you get. I had the shepherds pie, and it was tasty, just not anything to write home about. The 5-star item might be the sticky toffee pudding. Well worth a trip for drinks dessert if that 's your scene. The loaded brussel sprouts deserve a shout out too. Service was above average but not stellar (I ordered a drink that was never delivered, but there was a sincere apology to accompany the mistake). Overall it 's a solid 4-star experience. With so many new and exceptional restaurants in Tampa it 's hard to stand out these days.
