Oh my! This place was wonderful and I’ll surely never forget it. I’m already making plans to try to come back tomorrow. The food was DELICIOUS! Made fresh, hot, from scratch. If you’re tired of the chain restaurant taste and want something affordable, this is it! It is definitely a hole in the wall place and very low key. I couldn’t believe how tasty it was!! It’s very quiet, steady service of singles and couples coming and going. They had to go or dine in. Cold Dr. Pepper in the cooler!!

Love this place! Git lunch here twice so far and both times it was great, very tasty yet super simple. Feels like home-cooked comfort food. I had the grilled chicken sandwich and then the chicken Caesar wrap with macaroni salad. All yum!

I stopped by here while waiting on my train and it was a wonderful hidden gem. The portion sizes were great for the price and the food was delicious (I had the Channelside Chicken Wrap). Service was also excellent and fast. Thank you!

So first I’ll say the food was pretty good. I mean, it was a steak and cheese. I mean I have a pretty simple brain, I like steak and I like cheese. Not too hard to impress me with both.

DO NOT EAT HERE. Me and a couple of friends decided to stop by, and grab a quick bite before heading into the office. When we entered the restaurant we were met with eye rolls and a fake greeting. The food was beyond disgusting. I got a simple egg and cheese sandwich, they gave it to me with stale bread and undercooked eggs. Our server was rude and angry. She definitely doesn’t like to work there because she was taking her anger out on us. Saying snide comments under her breath as she came by. But it wasn’t the food or the service that brought me to give this 1 star, if i could I’d give it negative stars simply because of their owner, Carl. We brought to his attention that perhaps his server, wasn’t having the best day, explaining we heard the comments. But he refused to listen. Carl was rude and absolutely ignorant. I’ve never in my 20+ years of entrepreneurship and business owning have I met another business owner with the lack of awareness, compassion, and IQ that Carl showed. We wanted to support his small business as we ourselves our business owners, but because of him we’ll never eat there again, and well make sure that no one we know, our other business owners, come in and support Carl or his laughable “business”. He owns a seafood truck as well. That i know a couple people who are there, that got sick from it. STAY AWAY FROM ALL THINGS CARL.

Zelda’s is the true definition of a place that’s a “hole in the wall.” Attached to a gas station, it certainly isn’t fancy or trendy… just a quick and inexpensive breakfast stop. But it’s one of those places that you’ll start to love if you go there a few times. The best surprise was that their breakfast sandwich is the best in the neighborhood. Don’t sleep on the deli sandwiches either.

First time in Tampa for the Frozen Four. I am a very picky eater and Julia provided exceptional service and my food was amazing. It is a cute little spot that you should definitely try out! I dined in but took food back to the hotel for my husband…everyone was happy

Just the hole in the wall I’ve been looking for! Don’t go if you want an upscale, fancy or even super clean environment. Go, if you want homemade, tasty food-breakfast in a laid back environment. I absolutely loved the rye toast. Someone who knows what “buttered “ toast is. It is worth the drive for me. A little suggestion to the venue.. umbrellas or some sort of shade for the outdoor diners. The sun gets hot here in Florida.

We needed some place to squat until our arbnb was ready. Someone recommended Zelda’s. We are so glad they did. What a wonderful experience. Zelda was so gracious, the food was delicious and the portions were more than enough.
