Black-owned restaurants, from BBQ to baked goods

by The 100 Companies

Tampa Bay’s rich dining scene is replete with numerous Black-owned establishments. Consider these standout spots:

For 25 years, Ladies of the Sea & Soul have cooked up classics from conch and snow crabs to jerk chicken and shila (a traditional rice dish from Georgia). Patrons praise the turkey wings, yams and good vibes.

Al’s Finger Licking Good Bar-B-Que was named the top BBQ spot in Tampa. Look for the chickens in the alley …

For dessert, head to Gabby Bakes, inspired by the owner’s midwestern Jamaican vegan mother. Her unique confections include orange cardamom pistachio and yuzu curd-topped olive oil sponge cake.
