“ Great for a quick informal lunch, lots of stuff on the sandwich so the fish is muddled. Fries were great, quick and scenic lunch spot on the water. Great window service, hard to complain for a fast food bite. ”

“ Delicious, hot food. Willing to change up menu for you. Friendly woman at the window. Short wait time for meal. ”

“ The seafood was amazing! We ordered the 1/2 lb shrimp and a grouper sandwich with onion rings. Janice took our order and was so friendly and helpful. We sat at a table in the shade and enjoyed the wonderful weather. A great way to spend a late lunch. ”

“ This spot near the water was delicious. Friendly quick service. The view of the boats coming and going out was scenic and relaxing. Janis our order taker was delightful. Chef Q and chef Sam know what they are doing. The grouper sandwich was huge. It was moist and flavorful topped with a soft bun. The Sammy comes with garlic fries which were average. The grouper Caesar salad was just as delicious but without a bun. We also ordered the grouper nuggets with a sweet Thai chili sauce. Overall I'd definitely return to this spot. ”

“ Excellent food and service. All done fresh and with amazing customer service by Janet, you will have a good experience ”

“ First meal back in Tampa, and overall, it didn't disappoint! I ordered a Cuban sandwich with a side of garlic Parmesan fries, and everything was made fresh, cooked to order, and served piping hot. As I approached the counter, I was struck by the lovely surroundings--the seating area offered a stunning view of the river, dotted with boats gliding by, adding a peaceful, scenic backdrop to the meal. I originally expected a more traditional pairing of a classic Cuban sandwich with regular fries, but to my pleasant surprise, I was informed of more elevated options like Parmesan fries and other tempting sides. I opted for the garlic Parmesan fries, hoping for a burst of garlicky goodness. While the fries were perfectly crispy and well-seasoned, I was disappointed that they lacked a strong garlic flavor--there was barely a hint of it. However, they were still enjoyable, especially with their crunchy exterior and soft, fluffy inside. The real star of the meal, though, was the Cuban sandwich. The bread was perfectly toasted, giving it a satisfying crunch, while the meats inside were flavorful and well-balanced, creating that perfect combination you'd expect from a quality Cuban sandwich. I didn't order a drink since I had my own, but sipping my beverage while enjoying the serene riverside view really added to the experience. This spot struck me as an ideal location for a casual date or a relaxed lunch. The atmosphere was welcoming, the views were charming, and even though the birds might wander over to eye your meal, they're harmless and add to the laid-back vibe. The service was also commendable. The young lady at the counter was polite and helpful, and my food arrived quicker than I anticipated. I'll definitely be returning to try more items on the menu, and I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a pleasant meal with a scenic view in Tampa. ”

“ Cute place to eat by the water. I haven't been to Tampa since 1996 and I don't think they had the Riverwalk back then. It was nice to walk around, although it got super hot since I am from the north. I am not used to the hot and sticky weather. Big Ray's is outdoor seating where you can buy food and nonalcoholic drinks. The place across the way is a bar where you can bring the food that you bought from Big Rays. I ordered the grouper nuggets with sweet Thai chili sauce. The chili sauce brings out the flavor of the grouper. It was just enough for me. I don't like eating heavy food when it's 90 degrees outside. They do have nice seating and it's clean overlooking the water. ”

“ I absolutely loved this! This was $20 and it smoked the $100 meal i had at ahem jacksons. I ate it on the water in rhe rain. People feed birds on the patio because they were kind of pushy birds who really wanted my plump shrimp. I could not finish this meal it was so big...i couldnt take it with me tho because i had a room with no way to heat it. I am an onion ring snob and these were delish. ”
