Mighty Fine

I can’t express how much I love this place, it is one of my favorite hidden gems of Tampa. The food is delicious, the vibe of the bar is low key and the beer is excellent making it one of a kind. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend the burger or the chicken sandwich coupled up with an order of fried pickles. Food is 10/10, service is a 10/10. The experience of being here, sun shining and garage doors open cannot be beat. Looking forward to next time.

Mighty Fine is my go-to spot for burgers! I almost always get the patty melt with waffle fries, and it’s absolutely delicious every single time. The patty melt is perfectly cooked and packed with flavor, and the waffle fries are crisp and addictive. I also have to mention the pickle chips — they’re super thin, extra tasty, and such a nice touch. Consistently great food and a place I can always count on for a satisfying meal.

Date. 5Jul25 Time. 7pm Food. Got two single smash burgers and fried pickles. The burgers were a bit salty but the smash part lived up to expectations. Drinks. A wide variety of beer, wine etc. Atmosphere. Open seating, a bit loud and there is outdoor seating. Bartenders were very nice and the wait was not long. Time to get food. After ordering they give you a pager. It took about 7 minutes to get the food. Location. It’s a bit out of the way in downtown Tampa. We parked by Morgan’s cove, paid 10 bucks for parking in the lot across Morgan’s cove. The walk to Mighty Fine was 13 minutes. Opinion. Definitely solid smash burgers worth a try.

Disclosure. I did photography for the venue. However. That does not and will never skew my review of said place. With that aside. This is an amazing neighborhood bar with eats. I am very critical of the simplicity of food. Specifically chicken. Their chicken tenders were amazing. Moist “I know some of y’all hate that word🤣🤣🤣” so let me say it again. “ Moist” 😂. All jokes aside. Solid vibes. Great service. Not because of me. I saw it first hand. As a photographer. I notice that everything. The service was on point. Albeit a small, very small kitchen. They produced. And kept in sync. I will definitely visit as a patron myself tbh. Great place. Great vibes. No liquor. However. Great selection of beers and wine. Trust. This is the place for the area. 💯

Mighty Fine is a must-visit burger spot located inside Late Start Brewery in Downtown Tampa. They serve up the best smash burgers in town — crispy edges, juicy centers, and super fresh ingredients. You can also grab fries or breakfast tacos, and everything is made to order with care. Even though it’s inside a brewery, the atmosphere is very family-friendly with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. It’s a great spot to bring the kids or meet up with friends. The staff is quick, welcoming, and always on point. If you're looking for amazing burgers in a laid-back, family-friendly setting, Mighty Fine is it.

The headline in the Tampa Bay Times review of this restaurant and brewery read, “Is this Tampa’s best smashburger?” Chef Nathan Hardin and Late Start Brewery co-founders Jordan Copher and Tyler Sankey are behind the brewery, coffee shop and restaurant, which opened in September on the corner of East Cass and Governor streets. Now, what was once a graffiti-covered building has quickly evolved into one of the downtown area’s most unique all-day spots to drink and dine. Inside the two-toned bright blue building, mid-century modern meets Old Florida decor with mint green and light pink accents and a dark wood slatted backsplash. Guests line up at the long terrazzo-top bar to place their orders and a selection of tables, both inside and out on the shaded corridor, provide ample space for sitting. The burgers are outstanding, the Cincinnati chili dog is delish and you don’t want to skip the fried bologna or fried pickles. Be sure to pair it with one of their house-brewed porters. Parking: Limited spots in front on Cass Street. Better spots on adjacent Governor Street.

Place is gas. Fried Pickles are the best I’ve had. Their Waffle fries shit on Shake Shack - never liked them until I had them here. Desert was fire too. Gonna see if they do triples next time cause the patties are super thin.

Oh jeez, where do I begin? This burger is in the top two burgers I've ever had in my life. Probably number 2 next to the burger I had in San Andres. The burger was melty, cheesey, soft, gooey, sharp, flavorful! Delicious, I only stopped eating to lick the sauce running down my palm. I highly recommend, this place knows how to make a damn fine burger! Pickles are thin and crispy, a little greasy I had the double original with the fried pickles. I aim to come back for the hot dog and fried bologna sandwich. Parking is EXTREMELY small. I don't know if you can park across the field, but I only saw 4 spots and a handicap spot. Recommend having a sign that says additional parking over here or something like that. Maybe they do, I just didn't see it, but didn't let it stop you from going, this place is very good

Can see why this place has 4.7 stars (Oct 2025). It's excellent Only detractor was free parking, where there are only six regular spots and one disabled. Paid parking is $10.49 no matter how short a time you're there (no hourly). Music is great. Service is spot on at the bar. Lots of out of the ordinary beer, cider and seltzer choices at very reasonable prices of $6-8 for most choices. They also have about fifteen on tap, including cider. Burgers are smash variety with several bun options (sourdough, sesame and potato). Toppings include special sauce (excellent!), pickles, lettuce and tomato; all very fresh. The highlight was the waffle fries.. OMG, so tasty and some of the best I've ever had. Ambiance is fun, roll up doors on nice days/nights. Fun decorations in front of kitchen, brewing vats. Bar seating is long with several TVs. About seven larger outside tables and several smaller high-tops. College kids appear to be the norm but well behaved at 11p on a Saturday. They have a disco ball casting on the ceiling. Fun place to hang out... $20 per person before tip with a single alcohol. Definitely be back, as long as there is parking...

Finally making it here for the first time! I've heard it's been rivaling for best burger in the Bay so definitely excited to try out some of the fan favorites. We ordered a deluxe Boi and the $5 Nat'l Burger Day special which was the Single Classic boi. We also got fries and the chili dog. Both burgers were delish, but the Classic was so good! Love a good smash burger patty and all the toppings on the Deluxe were super fresh, especially the shaved onions. The fries were the crunchiest fries I've literally ever had but next time I'll have to get the seasoning on the side. They were soooooooooooo salty. And don't get me wrong I love a nice salty fry, but this was TOO MUCH! The chili dog has everything on it that I would love : a sabrett beef hotdog, chili, mustard and a boatload of cheese, but idk...something about the chili, my personal tastebuds just didn't enjoy. Overall the food was good, the vibes were right, and there are TVs inside you can see from the front patio seating, so that was also nice during football season - next time I'm for sure trying the patty melt and the fried pickle chips Also shoutout to the owner! He was super nice, remembered it was our first time in and thanked us for coming

I think Tampa officially has its best burger and the crown sits atop mighty fine! This place is such a great addition to the downtown area. It's pretty much on the edge of downtown almost creeping into Ybor/gas worx. I've had all of their burgers so far and their patty melt. Nothing has been short of absolutely delicious. The building is cool and they have plenty of different alcoholic/ nonalcoholic selections to choose from. The service counter I think could be switched up to the front but not really a complaint just a personal preference. Not too much parking either but again has nothing to do with the amazing food and service you will receive here.

I stopped by on a Friday for lunch and it was almost already full inside. I had no idea this place even existed and I've lived in downtown Tampa for almost 3 years. I sat at the bar and it's quite roomy. A bunch of people were here on their laptops apparently sipping on cocktails and working at noon on Friday. The menu consists of Burgers/Dogs/Birds and the other half consists of Snacks & Such. There is also a backside to the menu with Early Morning Stuff, but I missed the cutoff time. I decided to order a $11.50 Classic Boi Double Burger. Whoa, totally unexpected. It's basically like a Steak N Shake Burger, but way better. Tons of flavor, juices, cheese, and a well tasting patty. I loved it. Then, I had the $13 Quarter Cheese Patty Melt. I love a great grilled cheese and this was a grilled cheese with a burger in the middle. Very cheesy and all of the flavors mixed together perfectly. I thought this was better than the burger, but it was very close. I'll definitely be back to try more food items. I thought this was just a bar to drink at, but man the food was very unexpectedly delicious! Very little parking, and kind of on the skirts of downtown. I'll be back!

Quick lunch, not much to say. Excellent quality and extremely fresh food. If I lived in Tampa, I'd definitely make my way back.

We ate here on a Sunday around 11:45. There was limited parking but we were lucky to park right in front. You order at the bar and they give you a buzzer to pick up your food when it's ready. There were about 4 tables there. We ordered and waited about 15 minutes for the food. The Thai tea beer was so delicious. The smash burger was our favorite. The chicken sandwich was also a nice size and the sauce was tasty. The bologna sandwich was our least favorite but the portion was good. The waffle fries were crispy and fresh. I think the pimento with saltines were our favorite. The inside has a decent amount of tables with an equivalent amount of outdoor seating. We enjoyed the meal. A chill place with great beer.

My current review is on the place itself and the food. I cannot comment on the beer, I didn't have a craft or draft. First of all - there's like 5 parking spots. Otherwise, make sure your park mobile app is ready to roll because for $7.49 to park around the building (that was the day rate - like the WHOLE day, no hourly parking was offered on the app) - that was enough to put this on the NO GO list. Not this establishment's issue, but it's a factor. If there's a spot in front (which appears to be a super difficult ask), I'd come back but if not, I'll have a plan B in mind because it's not worth all that to me. Once inside, typical brewery. Decent size, plenty of tables, even outside, which would have been nice if it weren't scorching. Sat inside and checked out the menu. There's several options from burgers to chicken sandwiches... For food and drink, you must go up to the bar and order. Then when you get a buzzer/beeper you'll pick it up on the far right of the counter when it's ready. The food comes in a small metal tray. And there is water in a little jug/dispenser further to the right of the order pick up area. I found the burger to taste ok, but it was thinner and flatter than a steak n shake steakburger. Also, everything is a la carte, so the fries were additional. They were large waffle fries and were pretty good, so I was happy with those. I ordered an NA cider which was sneakily not a traditional cider...it was blackberry flavored and even had apple cider vinegar in it... Not really what I anticipated from the name and description on the menu (I cannot recall), but I guess I could have asked some questions. Overall, the parking initially set the tone for me, unfortunately. The food was decent, although I would have liked a heartier patty in my burger and didn't come with anything else. I guess this place just isn't my cup of tea.

An adorable place with friendly staff and amazing breakfast. And for really good prices as well! 13 dollars for a delish breakfast bowl with bacon. The tacos are amazing as well. Owner and staff were super friendly and helpful!

Got the patty melt for the first time and oh boy, it's going to be so tough deciding between a burger and a patty melt in the future. Everything at Mighty Fine is just so good. The sourdough was toasted to perfection and the smashburger patties were massive. Love, love, love!

Very cool atmosphere. Nice outdoor seating area with games. Cool vibes. Delicious beer brewed here. Came here for lunch and beer. Best burgers in Tampa. Loved the smash burger (deluxe boi) and the patty melt. Perfectly fried pickles and amazing fries with delicious fry sauce. Does not need salt!

Fun little bar/restaurant for a burger and beer. I took the family here for a weeknight dinner. My kids were the only kids there, but it was fine. Very kid-friendly menu with burgers, chicken nuggets, and plenty of different bottled sodas. I tried the patty melt, and the whole family shared fried pickles and french fries. I also got to try one of my daughter's chicken nuggets. Everything was delicious. The patty melt was too big for me, but for a person with a good appetite, it's a good deal. The beers are a lot of fun. I tried the mango Thai tea sour and also the guava gose sour. Both were delicious, but I preferred the guava sour. I had a sip of my husband's pilsner, and that was also a good if basic choice. The setting is a little loud (indoors), but you can sit outdoors if you prefer. You order at the bar, and you pick up from the counter. Bar staff is friendly and prompt. Parking is a bit of a pain in the area, but there is street parking a few blocks away if you can't get a spot in their lot.

It was a cute spot, solid smash burger, partner had the Coney Island dog, we shared fried pickles. Burger 5/5 Dog 4/5 Fried pickles 2/5, love fried pickles but these were far too salty for us. The varying sauces? Well, I could just drink those, so good. It was, shall I say, mighty fine.

What a dope spot! The ambiance gives that old school chic vibe and I'm loving it! The food was MIGHTY GOOD but that patty Melt took it over the top! Smash burgers were good and fulfill the crave. The Sando bites were perfectly crisp and matched well with the sauce and I'm always satisfied with a waffle fry! If you take anything from this review it's the PATTY MELT! Can't wait to come back and try out the chili dog it looked loaded! The selection of beers also needs a shoutout! Any menu with Delirium beer knows wtf they are doing! And props to the designer for their small clothing line!

Might Fine absolutely lives up to the name! This spot has that local brewery meets burger dive vibe--in the best way possible. Service was fast and friendly, and the food is delicious. I ordered the Quarter Cheese Patty Melt, and it was everything a great smash burger should be--crispy, cheesy perfection. I also tried the Mimosa Spritz on tap, and it was really good and refreshing -- a must-try if you're looking to pair your meal with something light.

Finally got to try this hidden gem burger spot/brewery and let me tell you it did NOT disappoint! I started off with a Spritz drink that was on tap and it tasted great - kind of like a sangria almost. I also ordered the Patty Melt - Coney Dog - Fries and the Fried Pickle Chips! Everything was 10/10 except the hot dog - the burger was super tasty and the bread was toasted perfectly! The waffle fries were crispy and perfectly seasoned and the fried pickle chips were amazing not overly salty and I really enjoyed that they were super thin sliced pickles too! The hot dog I could have done with out and if I can recommend anything is def get a burger, don't waste your time on the hot dog. Service was great and food came up super fast! Cute and cozy inside with bar seating and a few inside and outdoor tables too! Can't wait to go back and try the pimento cheese and dessert! Pro tip: Any of the tap beers or spritz are available to sample! Also ordering is all done at the bar in case your a newbie like me and didn't know :)

The ambiance is rustically cool. The burger was very good. Fries were tasty. Staff and patrons were friendly and welcoming. I'll be back. 5 Yums from me

Finally checked out mighty fine, and it did not disappoint! the Smashburger was delicious and perfectly cooked. The patties are so thin so I would get double. I'm usually not a fan of pickles, but their fried pickles were a game-changer. To top it off, they have a fantastic selection of beers on tap, which pair perfectly with the meal. I'll be back! What I ordered: - deluxe boi: sesame bun, american, shrettuce, sliced tomato, dill pickle, shaved onion, special sauce - quarter cheese patty melt: sourdough, double patty, american, swiss, grilled onion, fry sauce - fried pickles: house ranch - waffle fries: fry sauce

The burger and patty melt were outstanding. The batter used for the nuggets and fried pickles was so salty, they were not edible. My daughter was able to take off some of the breading from the nuggets. She said the chicken was moist at least. I was really sad about the pickles. They were crunchy and cut super thin but we just couldn't take the salt. If not for the pickles and nugs it would have been 5 stars.

Melt was great but service was terrible because didn't tell us grill didn't turn on for another 30 mins and just sat around and waited but we never told at time of order.

Service was fast and friendly Decor was trendy but practical Simple ingredients put together to create a party in my mouth Love the location because it's close to downtown but you don't have the parking headache!

We had such a good time! The place is adorable and has a cute outdoor seating area. If you sit at the bar they take great care of you, or you can order at the counter! Best burger I've ever had. High quality ingredients.

The ambiance and food were great. You seat yourself and order at the main bar. Ordering kinda in the middle of others enjoying their food and drinks I would change that. Parking very limited due to location so that was an extra cost as well.

Hidden gem! Nestled between Ybor, downtown and the Channel district, you will find this brewery meets burger joint with an eclectic and flavor packed menu. The burger are top notch but the spicy pimento cheese stole my heart. Not sure what they did to amp up the basic saltines but holy cow I'll be back real soon for them.

Great place for smash burgers and drinks a whole vibe !!! Service was great the atmosphere was great a really hidden gem in da city

It was really good. Definitely get the hot dog that chili is going to do something to you lol.the service was great people are so nice and welcoming. And I'm in love with there stools at the bar but I did have to move to a table because I need the space of a chair to really get down

I haven't even tried the food yet but the wait is long and that makes me believe it's delicious and worth the wait! I'm sitting at the bar and the staff is incredible! It has a homey safe vibe. Street parking was easy to find and the playlist is nice and chill...

Oh dang. The bartenders are adorable, helpful, and the place provides amazing tasting burger. Sooooo juicy and yummy. Daytime matcha, tea, lattes and breakfast choices turned into afternoons and evening bar with wine and tap beers! Def worth coming to at anytime of the day. COME HERE.

Alright Tampa !!! This is easily one of the best burgers in the city. Don't believe me? Check this out Quarter pound patty melt - sourdough toasted is simply divine. Throw in some cheese, sauce, a perfectly seasoned smash patties and you have something special. If I'm not mistaken there was some caramelized onions but not enough in my opinion. I like to think of myself as the Dave Portnoy of burgers/sandwiches and this was an 8.5 some more onions makes it a 9. You need this burger !! Cookie butter cheese cake is the icing on the cake , I mean you could get the worst cheesecake in the world and throw on some biscoff cookie bits and elevate it ten fold . Huge fan and ILLLLLL BE BACKK :)

My son (who is a big burger critic) said it was the best burger he's ever had! 100 percent recommended the smash burger

I came here last week and I haven't stopped thinking about these burgers since. I am very particular about burgers, so I mean it when I say this is now in the top 3 best burgers in town. We tried the patty melt and the deluxe boi and I still can't decide which was better. The patties were juicy and oh so flavorful, the bread on both - sensational. I was at a loss for words after the first bite - it was that good. And what a fun addition to the neighborhood! Love the laidback atmosphere and their large selection of craft bevs. The bartender was cool and all the staff were very friendly and attentive to everyone. The music selection was also great. This is definitely going to be my new go-to for a casual night out.

Cute little spot. Decor is cool and the service is A1. Nice spot to grab lunch or relax while working (they also have coffee!). Although I only got the classic boi and fries, I did see the chicken sandwich and it looks huge lol. Also, the special sauce kind of reminds me of yum yum sauce so it's kind of sweet but fits well with the burger. There's limited seating inside and there are only a few parking spots in the front. Highly recommend this place.

Solid smash burger and fries. Would get a double next time for more meat. Friendly service at the bar. No complaints!

Five stars for quality, location on Cass Street, early start breakfast hours 8 am, and multipurpose use of building sharing a casual, cozy and very hip location with Late Start Brewery. Might Fine serves coffee, breakfast fair (delicious breakfast tacos) and smash burgers, etc for lunch and dinner. This really is a one stop location for food and hanging with friends. Parking available, but you can ride your bike in the protected bike line just outside on Cass! Portions just right so be ready to order a variety odelicious items and enjoy your favorite local brews. Nate, an owner of Mighty Fine, took time to introduce us to his latest delights. Great vibe. Thanks Nate! Must try items include Classic Boi;Quarter Cheese Patty Melt; Green Pimento App; Ice Box Dessert.

Absolutely lived up to the name -- Mighty Fine! I got the Deluxe Boi Double Patty Smash Burger with waffle fries and it was a 5/5. Super flavorful, juicy, and cooked perfectly. The waffle fries were crispy and seasoned just right. Service was fast and friendly, and there's tons of seating inside. The restaurant does get a little loud, but the vibe is fun and casual. Definitely coming back!

The smash burger was just "ok" to me. A friend recommended I go here because I love boulons smash burger so much . So many it's not a fair comparison I'm not sure. So it was just okay, I also didn't like the bread bun with the seeds on top. The ordering service was a bit stressful it's like waiting at a packed bar trying to squeeze your order in. Once at the other side to pick up your food the guy running that side was nice and helpful because he realized I was waiting awhile to get my food. Lastly, the ambiance is cute but no one was around to wipe off where you eat so I had to do that myself. I would say if you go here just get the patty melt over the burger. I would go back for the patty melt for sure.

Everything I could want in a smashburger, definitely hit the spot. Super cute atmosphere too, I just went by myself bc I wanted to check it out but it looks like a great spot to hang out with friends on a weekend day. Pretty large space that's also a brewery? Want to go back and make more of a day out of it and try out more of their stuff.

This place rocks! The staff is all super nice and it has a cool outdoor vibe. There is outdoor seating and plenty of drink options for your gluten free pals too. The only reason I'm giving this a 4 star and not 5 is because they don't have any vegetarian entrees for me to eat. However my bf raves about the burgers - says it's the best in town. Just wish we could go here more and I could eat too lol. Go here! Hang out!

Easily one of the best smash burgers in time, they really nail the Maillard reaction essential to a good smash patty with crispy edges. The fries were a bit underwhelming and overshadowed by the entrees. Interior has a bit chaotic but fun vibe (at least on the Sunday I went) Will come back to try the rest of the menu

cinci chili coney - potato bun, sabrett dog, cinci chili, mustard, onion, lots of cheese - $7. very good food and service. great ambiance and tv's for one to catch a sports game. ample parking available.

Such a great place! Staff was super cool and friendly, beers were tasty and the food was great. We especially loved the patty melt!!

First of all, so cute on the corner and the perfect indoor/outdoor vibe. There is outdoor seating, indoor, bar tops and easy for Togo. We came once and had the wrong hours, second time they had a grilled cheese pop up (delicious!), third time was Gasparilla and they legit ran out of food they were so busy... so 4th time was a charm to try the burgers and BOY WAS IT WORTH IT. Delicious, exactly what you want from a burger and fries. We tried the classic double, classic single, the waffle fries and green pimento cheese. Everything was outstanding and I would have it again! The double was a lot of meat... I was expecting super skinny smash patties but you definitely get your money worth on the patties (no skinny Steak 'n Shake style here!). The staff are super friendly, the vibe is casual and the drinks were good. If you aren't a beer drinker they had some seltzer and Prosecco options and plenty of water around. Looking forward to coming back.

10/10 smash burger, look no more. One of the better smash burgers I've had out here. I only got a single patty which is how i prefer it and it was cooked perfectly and had a great flavor without being overly salty. The sesame seed bun really adds to the experience along with their secret sauce. If you're looking for a good burger i recommend the deluxe burger with fries (waffle fries were also great). I also tried the fried pickles and they were the most unique ones I've ever had. They are extremely thin and lightly breaded and come with a house-made sauce. They were good but I don't feel the need to get it next time. Topped it all off with a latte and the barista/bar tender was extremely kind with my friend and I when we didn't know what beers to get. She even let us sample an alternative milk when we told her we'd never tried a particular one. The outdoor seating is dog friendly and has such a nice laid back vibe. This place is only a few months old but I already know it'll be one of my favorites. Next time you're in the mood for a beer give this place a shot

The food was out of this world. The best patty melt I've ever had in my life. The sauce with the fries was so good. If in Tampa, this is a must!!!

The smash burger was the best I've ever had in my life! Quick service, very fresh and made to order food, and a cool environment!

Might be good but the dismissive attitude and the "needing to switch from their basic breakfast menu to their not so difficult lunch menu" beginning at 10:52 am... suffice to say I am not a fan of places who don't put in much effort. To be fair, they didn't care that I wasn't impressed, and it is their business - hence my three stars. I can't fault them for their food or drink as I didn't try anything but their willingness to own their attitude is nothing to sneeze at. I just know I will never come back.

Simple menu, good drinks and fire smash burgers! I really enjoyed the original sin cider too!

I had the burger yesterday and it was without a doubt top 3 in all of greater Tampa Bay. I came back this morning for the breakfast tacos. I have to say, they knocked it out of the park! Exactly like what you would get in Austin, TX. Really realaxing laid back environment with TVs as well to catch a game.

My family loved the burgers. Mika my 3 year old approved! Nice people. Highly recommended.

First the good news,.... the fries are delicious. The bad news,..... it was the worst burger I have ever had. I am 62 yrs old and have had many burgers in my lifetime. I know they specialize in smash burgers, but there was almost no meat at all!!! The little piece that was there, was burnt to a crisp !! Do yourself a favor and skip this overpriced garbage and go to McDonalds !! You will enjoy that more than the Mighty fine crap we were served!
