Steelbach

Food and service was remarkable. We arrived at 11 for Saturday brunch and it wasn't busy at all. We had the Farmhouse Salad with steak and the Nashville Hot or Not. We also ordered the House Brioche Donuts. Everything was delicious and there was plenty of food. We ended up taking home our leftovers. The service e was great. We were seated at a booth that allowed for us to keep a walker out of the way. Our server was terrific and did a great job answering a couple questions we had while looking at the menu. We would definitely go back to enjoy another great meal.

Thoroughly enjoyed dinner with an old friend at Steelbach. The food was simply amazing. Steaks that actually melt in your mouth, they are so full of flavor. The sides were well portioned and of high quality. The carrot cake was scrumptious to say the least. I want to take a moment to draw attention to our most incredible table service, provided to us by Ms Alex...(short for Alexandria). She was absolutely phenomenal from the moment we were seated until the bill was paid. Her acute attention to detail, her passion for her job, her great customer service acumen, all exude from this young lady. When I say she was amazing, that's a complete understatement...!!! Keep up the great work Ms Alex...!!!

It was an early (4:30pm)dinner to Steelbach’s at Armature Works. The place was quiet. The great aromas of the food being prepared in the open kitchen design was inviting. I enjoyed the Bronzed Scallops over black eyed peas, southern minestrone soup and micro radishes. The scallops were good size and tender. My wife had perfectly cooked Duck breast over sweet potato puree, brown butter mushrooms, Swiss chard with chili and peanut crunch. This was a welcomed surprise as it was our 1st time for dinner. We will definitely go back.

I went for brunch today and had a wonderful time. Our server Amber T. was amazing. Very polite friendly and knowledgeable. Get the biscuits. Delicious. Portions were great and the “beef” bacon really good.

I visited Steelbach in Tampa to celebrate my brother’s birthday with my fiancé, and I was really looking forward to trying it. I enjoy visiting Michelin-recognized restaurants, and I had heard good things about this one, so I was excited. The first thing I noticed was the ambience. The restaurant is beautifully designed and has a warm, inviting layout that feels perfect for a celebration. It’s the kind of place where you immediately feel like you’re somewhere special. I ordered the chicken and dumplings along with the mac and cheese. I personally really enjoyed my meal. The flavors were great and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. Some people at the table mentioned that the mac and cheese had too many crumbs on top for their preference, but I actually loved that part. Everyone’s tastes are different, so I understood the mixed thoughts. The service was also very good. Our server was attentive and friendly throughout the night. The manager even came by to check on our table, which was a thoughtful touch and made the experience feel more personal. The only thing I would mention is that the drinks didn’t quite meet the expectations I had going in. They weren’t bad, just not as standout as I was hoping for given the restaurant’s reputation. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere, the food I ordered, and the service all made the night feel special. I would definitely recommend Steelbach to others and I will be returning the next time I’m in Tampa.

Top choice for Tampa, definitely. We were a group of ten and tried at lest half of the dinner menu. Their steaks are outstanding and so are the sides, deserts and drinks. Service and atmosphere were on par also. We will return!

The food was delicious. I ordered grouper, and it was "melt in your mouth" amazing! My husband loved the very well-seasoned fried chicken. I also very much loved the cornbread. It was very busy, and our waiter was doing his very best to keep up. I think they may

Steelbach’s has a great atmosphere inside at Armature works in Tampa. There is also outdoor seating available. We had brunch and it was fabulous I didn’t get pictures of everything but it was delicious. We ordered the shareable pastries which included quiche, a strawberry filled donut, a chocolate pistachio cookie, and more and fresh and delicious . I had the avocado toast and it was amazing and my husband ordered the southern breakfast which came with red eye gravy and a biscuit, he said it was great. Service was excellent, our server and others were very attentive. This was our 2nd visit and it did not disappoint, we enjoyed it very much and will be back again.

we celebrated a birthday here and had the best time! we were shown to what i'd consider the best seat in the house, a cute window seat booth where we could see the whole restaurant. the restaurant felt warm and inviting and all the staff were fabulous--grace took care of us and was super friendly and attentive. they even gave us a birthday card and sweet surprise at the end of the meal! the food was delicious. we each got the ny strip (a local cut) with truffle butter and then split brown butter mushrooms and twice-baked bone marrow. just absolutely mouthwatering. for dessert, we went with the strawberry pistachio pavlova which was a first for us! we also tried the old forester flight which was interesting but a bit more expensive than we expected, a local cider, and a lychee martini which was sweet and tasty. our total after tip was about $330, so definitely a splurge, but we felt like the experience and food were worth it for a special occasion.

Ambiance: The restaurant itself was very nicely decorated and felt cozy. Love that you can see the cooks firing up the cookers and preparing the food. The biggest downside was the noise level. This place was very loud on a Friday evening. They sure can fit a lot of people in here so with so many people talking, you can barely hear your friends. 4/5 Food: we were most excited about the food. The paid attention to detail in the presentation but I'd have to say that there were no standout dishes that we tried. They each seemed to be missing flavor or very much seasoning for that matter. We're told that the steak is what people come for and the table next to us did order it and it did look really good. 3/5 Drinks: very well done. No complaints 5/5 Service: Our server was informative, attentive and polite. She knew the menu well and was able to expand on her favorites and made great recommendations. 5/5 Overall: I would be interested in revisiting for their steak and the drinks again. The Armature Works area is certainly a great location with lots of options. Parking can be a bit challenging but they did have valet options, street parking and a parking lot area.

I came here during Saturday brunch and everything was delicious! I had no complaints. I had the monkey bread, rolling shrimp and skirt steak. The monkey bread was warm and delicious and not overly sweet. The rolling shrimp was good! I was expecting something different but these were really good spring rolls!! One of the best I've had. The skirt steak was REALLY good. They cooked it perfectly and the salad it came with complimented it well. Not pictured is the lychee Martine. Which was Also good drink too. More of the sweeter side though. The server was nice , on point and knowledgeable too! The restaurant was a modern brick wall restaurant with a good location. It is pay to park also and a little hard to find parking unless you do valet . Overall, i will definitely be back for the rolls, skirt steak and drink!

One thing I love about Steelbach is that we're never disappointed, whether its cocktails or the food. Although I didn't have a full meal this time, my friend and I really enjoyed our cocktails and appetizers. The bartender provided great service, the appetizers were flavorful, and the ambiance was excellent as always.

If you are looking for one of the best meals & experiences of your life, you need to try out Steelbach! This is by far my new top restaurant in Tampa! Everything about Steelbach is perfection; the atmosphere & aesthetic is fantastic, giving a classy industrial vibe. The service is spectacular, the entire team will go out of their way to give you the best experience possible! Special shout out to our incredible server @travis! Everything about the meal was delicious! You NEED to start with the short rib mezze; it's perfect for sharing with the whole table & it is some of the best short rib I've ever had! The steaks are seasoned amazingly and cooked precisely to order; their grass feed beef is amazing quality! The lychee martini is also a must; very well balanced and incredibly refreshing! Again, everything was seriously unreal, I could go on and on - this is an absolute must visit!!

Great food. Great service. But management needs to understand to not add fees without telling people. A 3% card fee is not listed anywhere and you all are a cash free establishment so there is no way to pay without an extra 3% fee that's listed as "fees". And it still gets charged when using a gift card. Sours an overall great experience. Get better management or you'll start losing customers due to terrible processes and lack of transparency. Would've been a 5 otherwise.

Had to check back two years after my five-star first impression to drop another five on it. Steelbach has been one of my favorite brunch and dinner destinations ever since. Consistent in serving up desirable gluten-free dishes, great cocktails, local grass-fed beef, the BEST buffalo cauliflower, and flavorful mimosa flights. The French onion soup with braised short rib is also worth mentioning. Great staff. I highly recommend the valet on weekends since Armature Works is so lively.

So this is the thing with this place - First off ambiance is not that great due to it being so loud. I was screaming to have a conversation. HATED that. I got the chicken and dumplings and it literally had no flavor, it needed salt and pepper and some slap ya mama or something. My friends got the fried chicken, they said it also lacked flavor/seasoning. Luckily it came with some sauce that saved it. We also had the grouper and if was just OK. I will say the starters were amazing and prob the best thing. I think steelbach is good for their steaks, starters, and sides. All their mains seemed to be lacking. I recommend getting the shrimp rolls and cornbread as a starter. They were delicious.

Most incredible dining experience I e had in a long time. The wait staff were so incredible kind and welcoming, has the best atmosphere. Tried the seafood tower and felt like it was a great value for everything you get. The salad portion was also huge and I feel shareable for 2-3 people. Will absolutely be coming back

It's a tradition now for my birthday brunch. We were here September 6 and again Chucks Cakes amazing. Banana pudding pancakes outstanding so full of flavor and the presentation WOW My husband had the French toast he really enjoyed. Of course service great as always.

My wife had a peer group meeting for work at this restaurant. I ordered the New York strip steak prepared over a wood fired grill. Wow was the flavor so full. The first bite of this perfectly seasoned and cooked steak popped with the smokiness of the wood fired grill. The protein was accompanied by 2 different salts (pink Himalayan and a white garlic kosher salt with black specks. Half of a cooked shallot sits atop a decorative pat of real butter in a separate dish. Without hesitation this is the most flavorful steak I can ever remember eating. I sat at the bar since, I was in a way, dining stag. The bar tenders gave me immediate attention and without my asking brought me the menus. I've got to now try the ribeye, fried chicken, filet and whatever else is on the menu. Steelbach chef, Thank you for making a very hectic travel day special.

Stopped in for a Sunday brunch. It wasn't crowded, which I like, and the waitress was very friendly. We ordered the arugula salad with skirt steak, and after stating that I do not want tomatoes it came out with tomatoes, but was quickly corrected. The mimosa flight was worth the money and tasty, overall I would definitely return.

I've only got a couple of marquee steak places left that I haven't eat at in Tampa, and I'm able cross Steelbach off that list following a recent visit. Tough review to write because all of the pieces are there for a great experience, but the execution was slightly flawed. I'll start with the less than perfect. For a couple who stated on a reservation (they asked during the process if we were celebrating anything) that this was an anniversary date, I was little surprised to be seated between two tables with strollers butting up against our table, and filled with children. We love kids, but would have preferred something a touch quieter? Additionally due to size of those two adjacent tables, our service was somewhat slow. However, (on to some high points, the bar!) Steelbach has assembled a team of excellent bartenders. In fact, we'll probably simply sit at the bar the next time we visit. Stellar cocktails, great presentation, killer oysters and over the top service barside. The Armature Works location provides an overall great pre dinner experience (we walked the River Walk to dinner following a show at The Straz), plenty of parking and great river views before and after dinner. We had a Caesar salad, a Delmonico, a NY Strip and Brown Butter Mushrooms to top off our meal selections. The salad, the Strip and the mushrooms were done perfectly and on their own would rate this dining spot a 4.7ish rating from me. The Delmonico, however, was surprisingly fatty (not in a good way) and gristly; and candidly dragged the overall vibe down a bit. Definitely visit Steelbach for the location, ambiance, extensive wine selection and great steakhouse menu offerings. And do yourself a favor, get there a touch early to grab a masterfully done cocktail at the bar.

Enjoyed Mother's Day brunch here. American fare in an industrial feeling location. Large bar area, dining for groups and couples, and patio seating. We enjoyed the mimosa flight(a but sweet), biscuits for the table, Cobb salad with salmon, fried chicken biscuit sandwich, steak sandwich And more. Fries were yummy. Nothing was bad and service was good. There is valet and a lot outside($10). Street parking if you can find it. Make a reservation.

Wow oh wow. This place was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was in the Tampa área and decide to stop here for brunch. Our server Hunter was very good and informative. After learning that they have a cattle ranch where they get their beef from and being grass fed with the last 2 month being fed grain for some fat, I had to try their steak. They were so amazing and the portions were very fair. The potato pave was amazing as well. We had a great experience and the ambiance overall was great.

My cousins and I decided to catch a bite and some celebratory cocktails after our 5k run. Service was great. Such a great vibe to relax and unwind after a run. I had the avocado toast. A great concept and presentation but would have liked the bread to have been toasted and to have more avocado. It was very herbed forward than avocado. I only saw a few slices. It's kind of messy to eat so I ate everything but the bread. Overall a great location, nice ambience and vibes for any occasion. I usually go for cocktails and their monkey bread whenever I'm in the area.

Had an INCREDIBLE meal and time at Steelbach and can't wait to go back next time I'm in Tampa! I came here because I was looking for good gluten free meal options while in Tampa for the weekend. The Find me Gluten Free app had some good reviews for this place, and what really caught my attention was that they had a GF french onion soup, which is my favorite. Unfortunately, I went on a Sunday during brunch time, and the brunch menu does not include the french onion soup. Fortunately, I sat at the bar and my bartender/server Asia was super helpful and willing to look into what I could have (the regular menu has more GF options, while the brunch one doesn't really have any callouts). I first ordered the avocado & fennel salad and added grilled shrimp to it, and enjoyed the juxtaposition of flavors. I was still hungry, so I ordered the pomegranate/goat cheese salad and that one was even more delicious. I accompanied my meal with their lychee martini and OH MY GOD - one of the best lychee martinis I've ever had. Not too sweet, really hits the spot. I think I ordered the second salad more so that I could have a second martini without getting too buzzed. And to close, I ordered the pavlova for dessert as I had seen it recommended by fellow GF reviewers. Although I had 3 plates + drinks by myself, they were super light and fresh and I did not feel too full by the end of it. I am planning to go back to Tampa soon just so I can go enjoy the french onion soup, and some more lychee martini.

Fantastic food, service, and ambiance! Thoroughly enjoyed my date night on Valentines weekend here. It was pretty busy,but our waiter was fantastic and extremely attentive. The restaurant is beautiful on the inside, a mix of industrial and cozey vibes. Definitely a good mood for a date night without being too stuffy. There was an event happening at Armature Works so parking was a bit difficult... something to be mindful of! Food: As an appetizer we ordered the buffalo cauliflower with the buffalo sauce on the side. It was beautifully presented with shreds of celery and carrot all on a bed of blue cheese. We enjoyed it and it's a dish that would be good for the table! For entrees we chose off the wood-fired menu and got the Colorado Lamb Chops and NY strip. They were out of the bone-in NY strip which brings about 3oz more meat. These were both perfectly cooked and loved how they were served with two types of salt on the side. For the sides- the mac and cheese was perfection. From the gruyere cheese to the panko breadcrumbs it was so good! The brussel sprouts were good too but nothing to rave about. Drink: I enjoyed the prosecco and the boyf got some local craft beer. The cocktail menu is impressive. Be sure to read the different alcohol related quotes in each section. A fun touch!

Wr met some out of town friends for dinner at SB, I always like showing off Armature Works. Our rez was for outside, but it was a bit chilly so we asked to switch to inside and it was no problem. We started with the cauliflower which was a large portion and so good! We all ordered steaks + mushrooms and brussel sprouts. The steak was a little too salty, but the wine was flowing, hence only 1 pic and our server was amazing.

My husband and I decided to have lunch at Steelbach during a recent trip to Tamps. We had high hopes but, unfortunately, the experience wasn't great. While the service we received was very good...and that's the reason for 3 stars...the food was disappointing. Flavorless and overpriced, it left us feeling regretful.

I have been here for Brunch and dinner many times with friends & family since my first review. I did have an unpleasant first experience, BUT.....I must say every experience eating here afterwards has been amazing. I especially love going here for Sunday brunch! The servers are all pleasant, the hostess are all pleasant and the service is always on point. Also, we've never felt rushed while eating here. I recently had brunch here and it was delicious once again! To start with we ordered their Monkey Bread which is always a favorite of ours. For breakfast I ordered The Southern Breakfast and my husband had what's called The Everything Roll. They are described as the following: MONKEY BREAD pull-apart bread, salted caramel, toasted pecans, browned butter SOUTHERN BREAKFAST two eggs, bacon, fried green tomato & fixins', biscuit n' red-eye gravy add breakfast sausage or beef bacon EVERYTHING ROLL everything hoagie, thin-sliced prime rib, horseradish cream, gruyère, stone ground mustard, gravy, breakfast potatoes We have tried many different things on their menu and all have been delicious for both brunch and dinner. Something that I like is they change the pancakes every week and they change the pastries every week. Steelbach has actually become a favorite restaurant of mine! The restaurant is modern and located at Armature Works. They also have a lovely outdoor seating area. I definitely recommend this restaurant for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

This has been on my bucket list for sure to check out, due to the location and the diverse menu that's more than your run-of-the-mill steakhouse (even though I love those, too), and I thought my birthday dinner would be a perfect time to do it! It was a hot day, but the good folks seated me in front of one of their large fans on the patio (which felt GREAT) right away. That's a good thing if I'm going to have to eat outside with my dog. My server was prompt getting me something to drink and giving me time to peruse the menu. I knew right away that I would want the duck because duck is hard to find in general, so I get it every chance I get. I had the heirloom tomato salad with it after debating between that and the Cesear salad. Well, kudos to my server who made a great call on that one, as the Cesear salad is HUGE. Plus the heirloom tomato salad itself is DELICIOUS and refreshing to eat, something kind of rare for a salad nowadays. It had the right balance of earthy and sweet flavors to satisfy me just enough before the main course. Duck is always a great choice for me. This duck did not disappoint. Juicy, soft, and LOADED with flavor. I love the accompaniment of the mushrooms and sweet potato instead of rice. The duck was a great size too and nicely plated. The service was outstanding here, and everyone was great at checking to be sure everything was great. Overall great meal and experience. I would get the exact same meal again as long as duck stays on the menu. Do yourself a favor and try it for a different experience! You won't be sorry!

Geeez how does this place NOT score five stars??!!!! Everything and I mean everything about this place just ooze's a vintage industrial coolness with an edge of sophistication. The moment you walk in you're greeted by a large bar, the kitchen is buzzing, and you feel a chill vibe in the air. We opted to sit out in the patio for brunch and the experience was amazing. Firstly, the Bloody Mary is organically great - no pre mix here folks. The Avocado toast app is chock full of delish veggies that combine into a perfect mouthwatering flavor. But! But....the Hangover Burger!! Aye Yay Yay Batman. "Is it on the top five of my great hamburger list" you ask? Yes, it's definitely in the conversation. The grass fed bovine meat is superb. Combined with everything that comes with it and you have yourself a top contender in Americas Best Burgers - 100%. Will definitely e back for dinner. See you soon Steelbach - til then keep doing your thing.

My husband and I went for a walk on the Riverwalk and ended up at Armature Works. After looking at the many food offerings there, we decided on Steelbach- had never eaten lunch there. We were seated immediately, at a nice table inside. (they have outside, inside and bar seating) A server immediately came over and poured our water, then we were greeted shortly after that by another server who took our order. He was very friendly and helpful in explaining the menu. My husband and I were both very happy with our choices. The wedge salad was delicious- I am not a blue cheese fan so they held the blue cheese dressing and crumbles. I chose ranch and green goddess dressings on the side which were both really good. The amount of bacon on the salad was incredible- so if you are a fan of bacon, you will love that! There were also a decent number of grilled shrimp- so good! My husband loved his Steak Sammie- it's served on a pretzel bun, and has a smoked cheddar cheese sauce. It was served with fries, and they were cooked to the perfect crispiness, so of course I had to share some of those. This is a great lunch spot whether you choose to sit indoors or outdoors. I definitely recommend it.

I have been to Steelbach for lunch but have never been for dinner. Had no idea what I was missing. As always the staff was welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere has a bit of rustic elegance to it. We ordered the starters buffalo cauliflower which was amazing! We also ordered a wedge salad but a Caesar salad accidentally came out instead this Caesar was different with a blue cheese Caesar dressing. Our waiter offered to change it but we said we would give it a shot. Although I don't care for blue cheese this dressing was very good and we all enjoyed it. We ordered our main dishes. Delmonico, Coulotte, NY strip, and a Bone in Pork Chop. All were cooked to perfection. As sides we had the mac and cheese which was fabulous and the asparagus which was so good. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly Out drinks were mixed perfectly. This restaurant is on the higher price range. Your bill adds up quickly when ordering your main and sides separately ... plus starters. Just know going in your bill is going to be a whopper. As far as dress is concerned people were dressed all differently from casual to really dressy ... ( I don't believe I saw people in shorts) . Also Expect to Pay for parking. ( Parking cost us $20)

Nice location and attentive service. They offer a pre fix business lunch but we opted for other items on the menu which is a little limited at lunchtime. I went for the salmon at the server's recommendation and was glad I did. The salmon was very flavorful and perfectly cooked. The green goddess dressing added to the flavors, it was a tad sour being yogurt and I didn't pick up much of the other spices in it. The farro had a nice blend of vegetables in it and it made the meal balanced. We would love to come by again when in town.

I should have added photos but that would have been deceptive. The presentation was great, but here are the facts about the food. Broccoli came out almost cold. The server said the filet mignon would cut with a butter knife and tender, no way, it was tough with stringy elements to the filet. not good Caesar salad had a gallon of dressing on it, literally drenched. Others at the table of 6 had issues also with their food. The worst and I mean the worst part of it was the booth, yes the booth. It was so tight and not movable with the table or anything else. You were squashed in the booth. I am 190 and 5'9 and could hardly fit ! My wife is 5'2, 115 and still was complaining about the booth. Go ahead and get a booth and see what I mean. I group of women tried to sit in the booth behind and left to go to the hi top since they could not fit either , so not just our issue. Last but not least the protocol between courses has the server collect all the silverware and I mean knifes forks used or not used and people passing all of this over the table to the server before the main course of dinner, if you had pasta, pass your silverware over, if you have chicken, pass the silverware out of there. Very inconvenient and wrecked any mood of an elegant dinner to me and my group.The drill sergeant server, kept coming back after 5 min. and asked ready to order ? ready to order ?and no one was even in the restaurant much. Even after only being there 8 minutes. after 3 or so times we caved in and said OK we will order now. Just everything was a disappointment. I do not blame the server 100% she is instructed with the timing and protocol I blame the manager of this place.We even complained to her the manager about the cold food and she said sorry and moved on to say have a good night ! Maybe give us a tiny discount when our bill was $700 for 6 people ? I mean geez, Never go to this place too many issues from start to finish.

From the moment we walked in I was impressed with the rustic charm. Definitely a nice spot for drinks and appetizers or even a date, but the food left a lot to be desired. We came in for brunch. My spouse got the steak and egg. His egg was ordered over easy but came out yolk solid. The steak lacked flavor, was slightly over cooked (we ordered medium and received medium well). I tried the Nashville hot with fried chicken, egg, and potatoes. I thought surely that was a safe option. However, I received more biscuit than chicken. My egg was easy as I asked, however I had to borrow the steak knife to cut the biscuit . We also had an underwhelming monkey bread appetizer that the server was raving about before we ordered. Nice place for ambiance n pics....not necessarily food.

Dinner for 3. - Ambiance (5*) Industrial chic. Loud but not too loud, at least at our U-shaped booth. Trendy spot- lots of eye candy. - Service (3*) Our waitress was professional, though she seemed disappointed we didn't order wine, and she was pretty demonstrative that we should order steaks (2 of us did, I didn't). Entrees took a pretty long time to come out. - Cornbread, $11 (5*) 3 big pieces of cornbread. When you pick them up, they feel heavy! Clever move to bake the bacon directly into the cornbread. A highlight for sure. - Carpaccio, $17 (5*) Great flavor, good acid. Elevated presentation. - Black Grouper, $48 (3*) Fish was delicate and everything I love about black grouper. But, they charred it a little too much, so the outside was burned in some places. I'm also not sure this is necessarily their fault, but the fish comes out scalding hot! I burned the roof of my mouth eating the first bite- you know that hot pizza on roof of mouth feeling? Ugh. The accompanying parts of the dish were kind of after thoughts. - Brussels, $15 (5*) Perfectly cooked, great flavor. - Mushrooms, $14 (5*) Awesome flavors and a great twist on your normal side of mushrooms. The sauce it came with was itself epic. - Potatoes, $14 (2*) Cool concept and very rustic, but several potatoes were undercooked. - Value (3*) The cornbread while expensive, absolutely felt worth it. The grouper would have felt more reasonable with more care for the accompanying elements. The sides felt a little overpriced. - Final Word Some execution issues, but an overall good experience. Loved the ambiance. Some nice highlights. Would certainly go back.

SB's is worth the hype. Been here for lunch, but finally was able to come back for dinner. Got an old fashion, the 12oz ribeye, with a side of Mac & cheese, and the bleu cheese salad to split between two people which was more than plenty. Each bite was mouth watering and packed with flavor. If you are a steak person, don't hold out order it! The char on the ribeye made it this piece of steak stand out and the sprinkled salt on the side... yum! Didn't need any extra condiments to go with it. The Mac and cheese was also very good. Almost tasted like a different version of a fettuccini Alfredo. Each bite was so creamy and the bread crumbs on the top gave it a little crunch. Would recommend to anyone in the area. While the food in armature stations is good, this place elevates the entire experience.

Metered parking for three hours on the side of the street was a little over $6, in the future I'll have to compare what it is in the parking lot. The restaurant is beautiful and a great place for a date night or girls night. The table next to us seemed to be conducting some sort of interview (job? sorority?) and my husband and I were there for a date. Our server was fantastic, he made sure my water glass was always full. This is what we got and what I thought. Drinks: Sidecar - this was delicious, it was just the right sweetness level, I'd definitely get it again. Skinny margarita - it was a really good margarita. It is strong. Food: French onion soup - this was delicious. There was a good amount of gruyere cheese and sourdough. The broth was also tasty. It comes out very hot so you have to give it time to cool down. Bone Marrow "Twice Baked" Potato - It's basically mashed potato in a bone marrow bone. It is very good. I would definitely get it again. Brown Butter Mushrooms - this is a must get if you like mushrooms. It was my favorite dish and it is huge. It's very rich though. 16 oz ribeye - we got this to share and I'm glad we did, because it is huge. We asked them to slice it for us. It was cooked perfectly medium rare. It comes with butter and salt on the side, which is good, because I actually found it a little bland alone. This allows you to control your salt level. My husband says he likes Council Oaks and Charleys better, but this place is up there for me. Overall, pricing is a little expensive, but reasonable (I say this after going to NY and seeing their prices.) I like how it's right next to the water, so we were able to take a walk afterwards. It was a great date.

The service from our server Caroline was amazing. We truly enjoyed the entire experience. We decided to split the ribeye which is a full 16oz! They were happy to have us split the steak, and we paired it with the wedge salad, the asparagus, and dessert! The meat was very flavorful, the sides were perfect and the carrot cake was out of this world. We sat outside so it got a little chilly at the end but they brought out heaters.

We have visited this location a lot and it still remains one of my favorite restaurants in this area. We love eating out on the outdoor patio for the vibes and fresh air but the indoor seating is nice too. Drinks are great. Food is always great. We prefer sharing a bunch of small plates. The short rib mezze is our favorite. The cornbread is a must.

I was not expecting to enjoy this place so much! It was very busy in there so take that into account when planning to dine here, always call ahead. Our server was super friendly, and helpful when making recommendations for the table. I ended up going with the mimosa flight, my friends got an espresso martini (which was delicious!) and a classic mimosa. I do have to say the mimosa flight is such a fun idea but they lost me with the different flavors. We each had an appetizer, I ordered the Buffalo Cauliflower and wow, this was delicious, I get this app at a lot of restaurants and have to say this is one of the best I've ever had. If you get one thing from here just get that and you'll understand. We also had the egg rolls which were super tasty. I definitely will be coming back next time I'm in town!

Awesome food and awesome service. Atmosphere was right on point! We ate so good! My sister in law got the skirt steak salad and she said it was the best meal she's ever had! And she travels a lot so that is very high praise! My grouper po boy was amazing! Best remoulade I have ever had!

We had SUCH a good time at the 80's brunch. The food was a flex, and the service was very good! We love that they celebrated the menu by having chef type explanations. Very chic! I'm not complaining but all that food and drinks would be SOOO much better in the AC. We were melting outside! We had the largest table there and we showed out in our crazy 80's! Brought our boat over and we sure got the looks! Can't wait to see the pics! We would LOVE to do this again, but the consensus says 'Not if it is outside' Thank you for an awesome event!

Everything we ordered was good. Glance at the pics. The mac n cheese with gruyere was delicious as well as the potato pave with that cheese/alfredo tasting sauce poured over... The steak was cooked medium as we had asked so we were satisfied.

Waited a very long time for a drink, waiter was was almost throwing plates on the table, the sides were bad. We had a sausage that four of us wouldn't eat, buffalo cauliflower was okay, pot stickers had no flavor, one server was pleasant but she was new. I had the ribeye and it was good, wife had grouper and just ate the fish and nothing else. Maybe it was an off night, either way won't return.

This is one of my go-to when I have friends and family visiting! Food has always been great, never a disappointment! It's a great location lots to do and see before eating. Highly recommend the Pork belly Benedict and the steak and eggs. But everything is delicious!

Went for a friend's birthday dinner on a Thursday night. I had the scallop and minestrone soup entree, with a caesar salad for the table to share. Caesar salad tasted like nothing and extremely watery, so I sent it back. Scallops were amazing and so was my espresso martini! A bit pricey and the Service was awful. Very slow and wasn't even busy. He was nice though. Inside was cute date vibes and dimly lit. Might give this place another try in the future someday

I would go back if I get Hunter the waiter every single time! Great food and drinks. Service outstanding. And Hunter the waiter deliciously good looking.

Our go to date night spot! Whether you are sitting at the bar or at a table everyone is great. The food is so tasty! Place gets packed and can be loud but it comes in waves. Just love this place!

Omg Amazing! Our server Brandon was so nice and super friendly! The food was spectacular and the portions were very generous for the price. I would totally recommend this establishment to anyone visiting the Armature. The area is so nice and we had a great day! And Brandon made it a little more special with a slice of cheesecake

Fantastic experience at Steelbach! Nicholas was a great server - attentive, friendly, and made the evening feel special. The food was excellent from start to finish: the bone marrow was rich and flavorful, the steak was a great cut (slightly overcooked though), the shrimp great, and the oysters were a hit. The sweet potato truffle purée was an unexpected standout - silky, flavorful, and a perfect complement to the meal. Steelbach's delivers on both quality and atmosphere, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit.

What a fun place! Definitely rustic urban hipster.This is a steakhouse that does really well with the non beef items on the menu. My avocado and fennel salad (with salmon added) was perfect. Very fresh and great presentation. The chile oil added just enough accent flavor. My son said the pork belly Benedict was very good. The veggies on the salmon and grain were excellent. My cocktail was light, fresh, and floral without being sweet. Even the ice tea was fresh, strong and flavorful. Oh yeah, they also have great steaks. My other son said his steak was great. There was one hiccup with an order where we requested several substitutions, which seemed to throw off the cook. Had to send it back and they still didn't get it right. But the restaurant comped us 2 glasses of wine and a dessert. But maybe avoid asking for multiple substitutions. The service was excellent.

The ambiance is warm and inviting, with its industrial-chic decor and a cozy yet lively vibe that's perfect for brunch or dinner. For my main course, I went with the Steak and Eggs, and it was phenomenal. The steak was cooked to perfection, tender and flavorful, paired with perfectly seasoned eggs and crispy potatoes that rounded out the dish beautifully. You can tell the ingredients are high-quality, and the preparation shows real attention to detail. I ended up ordering a mimosa flight, but unfortunately, the drinks tasted very watered-down.

Had such a great experience at lunch we came back for dinner. Spectacular! Everything was delicious and services was exceptional! Always a wonderful ambiance, great tunes in the background and creatively decorated. The steak was so delicious! It was a delight in many ways. One the beef is from Florida my home state and how delicious it was. All the side dishes were so tasty and crafted perfection. The balance of flavors and presentation was amazing. One My favorite please to eat in Tampa. Must must stop by and try for lunch or dinner!

We decided to spend Labor Day weekend at downtown, Tampa armature works area. First, we took the tiki hut boat tour then we went to Steelbach for dinner. The service there is fantastic. The hubby and I had the black grouper and sausage board for dinner. They were both excellent. The noise was not too loud, it was very comfortable. They also have boost if you like.

Came for brunch on a Saturday with 6 other people. I like that they sat me as the first guest without needing the whole group present. Monkey bread 10/10- so good and so addicting. Wouldn't think to have such a sweet item as an app but happy it doubled as dessert. Pork belly Benedict 8/10- I usually dont care much for pork belly but this was pretty good and the pimento cheese was the best part of this. Mimosa flight 7/10- Nice concept cause you get 4 different flavors of mimosas. Decent portions of each glass but not enough champagne in my opinion, barely got a buzz after finishing everything. Also wish they labeled which was which like they do at most places that serve flights. Oreo cheesecake 9/10- not your normal oreo cheesecake. it had toffee, peanuts, and dulce de leche as well. Bummer if you have a peanut allergy though. Service was great- Justin our waiter was super friendly and good at giving us his recs. The vibe is a 10/10 too, I like the industrial look of this place. The seats are comfortable and the tables provided enough space for everything. Parking is kind of annoying however, I had to pay $10 to park in the lot and don't think they validate. And they dont have their own restroom, you gotta go to the main hall of Armature Works. Return? maybe. I'd try different entrees and cocktails though. Recommend? yes, nice to have a more private, sit down meal compared to everything else at AW.
