    One of the must stop places in the Downtown Tampa area! There is something for everyone, whether it's grabbing tacos, ice cream, sushi, wine, crafted cocktail or just a beverage to go walk the river walk at sunset. There are many fantastic restaurants to choose from, but they are on the fancier side. Drinks are pretty expensive at $14 but they are really good! Bring the kids and the dogs outside and enjoy the huge open area, especially as it cools down at dusk!

    What a great spot for dates, snacks, and just to spend some time enjoying an array of food and drinks. I LOVE that this was built within a historic building, they put the space to great use...especially with some of the Elevated food offerings. There really is something for everyone here and, the atmosphere is incredible. There's happy hour at almost every food spot in here and you can get anything from light snacks to fine dining. Definitely worth checking out! Great for families, friends, and everything in between.

    This is an awesome, fun and hip restored mixed-use building and outdoor space that completely elevates and breathes life into the neighborhood. It’s an event space, upscale food court, and bars and lounge all in a historic and lofty space. There are many bars and restaurants to chose—from casual grab and go to sit-down restaurant space. You can spend an entire afternoon here getting food and drinks and walking around the river walk, or just a quick meet with friends. Its a good time, every time.

    Always a great place to come with friends or family. There is always live music and the atmosphere at the river is a must. The restaurants usually get packed at the sunset, but the food is great. You can bring your pets and just enjoy the day! 🥰

    The vibes here were amazing!!! The food was really great too! So many people out here on new year day. Live music outdoors and people with their families just chilling and listening to the musician play. The view of the city from here was lovely with a romantic feel!

    This place is awesome! It's like a much more upscale food court, but the food is like boutique gourmet. You can sit anywhere and the vibes are cool, there are couches, tables, bars, stools, it's just a really awesome place to hang out! Everything we tried was spectacular and didn't disappoint one iota. We'll definitely be back, as there's so many places to try, it would take days and days to try everything that looks and sounds delicious! Definitely a worthwhile experience. (They also have wet wipes out every few feet for people to use to cleanse, as well as employees circulating to clean tables, I was very impressed!)

    One of my favorite spots in Tampa. Great food options, great to visit day or night. It’s a huge market with several restaurants/coffee shops/dessert spots. Always clean and nicely decorated for the holidays. Great vibes and a popular family spot in the day, with live music and a lively night life. Lots of seating options inside and outside. Parking can be tricky but there is a mix of free and a garage you pay for. Options to eat, drink, exercise, and even kayak! If you’re lucky you’ll spot a manatee or dolphin! Great views of downtown and the bay. Only thing I wish there was more of us shade. Dog friendLy in the outside area - don’t miss this spot!

    Armature Works is a unique collection of restaurants and eating establishments for casual dining. They also have some upscale restaurants if that is your fancy. It is sort of like an upscale food court, but this is no mall food court. All of the eats are really special. Grab your food, sit where are you like either inside or outside and enjoy great atmosphere. This is really a great place to grab some lunch, especially if you have a rather large crowd with diversified tastes in food!

    I have only gone here a couple of times, and it never disappoints. They have such a huge variety of foods, and I especially love going during the sunset time because it is so pretty sitting outside. I would highly recommend the ramen, loaded nachos, and burger. I am going to Tampa at his weekend, and I am definitely going.

    I always love a great food hall and this place doesn’t disappoint! There’s so many food options to chose from it was hard to decide. We opted for a nice glass of wine and nibbles from a couple different places. There’s lots of seating inside and outside to enjoy your food. We sat out by the river and watched the sunset. People watching was fun.

    Pretty cool place. I really appreciate that it is actually a very old building (built in 1910 and was once used as a space for streetcar maintenance) If you take your time and really look around you will notice some pretty cool features. I have captured one of the doors and some of the outdoor space. Gave it a 4 out of 5 stars because it was really crowded and because there were not as many "shops" as I expected. Plenty of restaurants though.

    Fantastic place to chill and unwind with tons of food options and places to park yourself comfortably. Walk, jog, people watch, eat, relax, dog friendly, games and frequent special events. Indoor and outdoor dining, take out as well as fine dining. Does not get any better than this.

    Armature Works has a really cool vibe and good food. It's literally on the water and has really nice views. There's usually craft shows during the summer which is nice for singles, couples and families.

    Always something happening here. I often ride my bike through and there is usually people doing different activities. Tampa is a healthy City! This is a great place to meet the happy healthy people of Tampa and all walks of life really. 😀 There are a good variety of good food options here as well.

    This is a nice industrial-type food hall area with a variety of food vendors and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. A modern twist to a clean and safe place to meet with family and friends facing the river. From coffee to tacos, from ice cream to steaks; from sangria to wines; definitely, there's something for everyone here! Most of the time they have live music around the area.

    This is like a food court setup. Lots of palces to eat. Has indoor outdoor seating. Grab lunch or dinner. There was a live band at the water. It's a fun place to hangout.

    Beautiful park in tampa with many food vendors. You can even bring your dog here to the park but be respectful and clean up after your dog. I was here during the Outdoor Expo, it was free admission but parking was $20 on this day. Usually it’s only $10. I came here often for the outside atmosphere. Great place to take the kids, family or friends out of town. Tampa starting to look really nice. They are expanding the river walk.

    Beautiful modern building that has several different restaurants and food stalls, including vegan options. There’s lots of different options and prices are reasonable. There’s even an outdoor dining area.

    Many options of restaurants! We had burgers and poke from different places. They also have a beautiful garden for people to mingle and enjoy the day. Worth the visit

  • 4/5 Ryan D. 5 months ago on Google
    The BBQ joint was descent and the poke bowl was average. The atmosphere is really nice with plenty of space just not much for kids. The staff held my wife’s drivers license for my kids to play with the jenga blocks which was weird?! Their website is not so good with easily navigating to the menus so here are most of them.

  • 5/5 John C. 5 months ago on Google
    This was a really cool place. It's an old building that has been converted into a sort of food court set up. There's indoor and outdoor areas, meeting rooms, etc. We ate a delicious Poke bowl, walked out along the canal, and sat in some reclining chairs in the sun. Very cool place.

  • 5/5 Heba A. 4 months ago on Google
    Seated at tables with a waterfront view, the dining experience was elevated by the picturesque setting. The shrimp was exceptionally fresh and delicious, complemented by the great Parmesan cheese fries. The coleslaw portion was small; however, the overall combination of delectable dishes, a scenic backdrop, and affordable prices made for a memorable and enjoyable meal.

  • 5/5 Jayna D. 6 months ago on Google
    Great selection of foods, desserts, drinks and atmosphere. Location is great for family and friends to gather.

    Went for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Creamsicle party. Got to meet Mike Alstott and Antoine Winfield. Went inside the food hall and everything looked and smelled wonderful. We are super poor so we couldn't buy anything but we were happy to walk around.

  • 5/5 Angel G. 7 months ago on Google
    This is a great place for a day out! It offers so many options for you and the family from Tacos to Fine Dining, Barbecue to Greek, Coffee shop to Ice Cream and Cookies!!! Tip: have someone find seating, it gets filled pretty quickly. If the weather is nice there are plenty of places to sit outside. The views are beautiful and the music is lively. Bathroom check in: 👍🏾 Pristine! The restroom attendant was on the money and super friendly. It’s a must go!!

  • 5/5 Kev C. 7 months ago on Google
    Have stopped here a few times when visiting Tampa's great River Walk. Situated right on the river bend, it has a large outdoor seating area for those pleasant evenings. This past visit, we had 4x tasty Greek Gyros from Kipos

  • 4/5 Bluff J. 7 months ago on Google
    Very eclectic free-for-all that is centrally located. Water AND city view. Perfect for friends and family. Food available to match everyone's tastes and outdoor lawn and venue that can't be beat. It's busy and hopping so expect the crowd.

  • 3/5 Laura L. 7 months ago on Google
    This place was suggested to us multiple times. It's an eatery offering multiple restaurant choices, most casual, a couple nice "sit down" places, and a bar. Wasn't my niche, however, LOCALS LOVE IT, and it can be Very Busy. Best part was its outdoor seating with their relaxed hangout area and riverview. The water taxi picks up and drops off patrons there. Their are also a couple of other regular restaurants in the same area that are nice. Definitely worth the visit (at least for the outdoor area) Very Pretty at night.

  • 5/5 Amanda M. 7 months ago on Google
    We’ve been to food halls all over the US and so far, outside of Reading Terminal, we like this one best. Clean, great options, super cute. Definitely worth a visit!

  • 5/5 Mark H. 8 months ago on Google
    I live in Ybor so getting to Armature works is pretty easy. I drove my bike down there last week and went inside and had some empanadas. It was super hot outside but it was nice inside the main area. I did some studying and it was nice seeing all the people out and about. It was sad to see a couple of the businesses were shuttered. So hopefully someone gets in there and feels it back up.

  • 5/5 Bummer O. 8 months ago on Google
    This place was really neat. There are so many different places that you could choose to eat. Not many shops, but the one that was there had very original stuff.

  • 5/5 Maria H. 9 months ago on Google
    Armature Works is such a chillax place. I love the Empamamas, it's really the only thing I've ever eaten here. And pizza one other time. Music is great. Hard to fi d a place to sit and eat inside but if you're patient and lucky you will find one. I love enjoying the breeze and the views outside.

  • 5/5 Holland Galbreath I. 9 months ago on Google
    The family and I loved Armature Works. We found some great places to eat and really liked the atmosphere. I highly recommend if you are visiting Tampa.

  • 5/5 Sherry F. 9 months ago on Google
    What an awesome experience. So many yummy choices. It's a must stop by for a good time with friends.

  • 5/5 Casey Johnson R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was so awesome! It was a very chill vibe during the day and a vibrant social scene at night! I love how much variety they had in the food vendors, use of outdoor spaces, and the cute shops! I’m so glad my friend took me here!

  • 5/5 jarrett m. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice collection of restaurants bars sushi you name it they got just about any type of food you could want. Parking seems to be an issue if you don't have the mobile parking app.

  • 5/5 Pela On The G. 9 months ago on Google
    I visited the bar. The whole place has very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a place to hang out with friends. Drinks at the bar were incredibly yummy!!! Must try!!! Pictured PIMS

  • 5/5 Nathan S. 11 months ago on Google
    The family and I do our best to visit. Food selection and atmosphere are nice. Having to pay $10 for parking isn't the greatest, but it's also worth it. Great for date night or time with the family.

  • 5/5 Brian F. 2 years ago on Google
    Awesome restored building. Great place to hang and meet friends! Good food, great drinks. Fantastic outdoor patio to sit and enjoy the weather.

  • 5/5 A Mexican P. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely establishment right on the bay. The parking leaves much to be desire though. Still, once inside; there's plenty of different restaurants to choose from. I ate at a Greek place called "Kippos" that was tasty.
