Riviera - Tampa

Old School, Simple, Tasty and Quick. These things all describe the long standing Carrollwood staple that is the Rivera Restaurant. As simple as they come this old-school style eatery offers all the basics at a price that is affordable to every budget...so long as they have cash, no plastic is accepted here. A definite nod to days gone by, the Rivera serves up quality breakfasts and lunches day in and day out. Of particular note, come and sit down here and enjoy a hot breakfast cooked to order, whether it's grits, toast, bacon, eggs, pancakes or any other conceivable combination you will not be led astray. The Chicken Parmigiana sandwich is also quite good on the lunch menu.

The breakfasts, Oh my, they are really and truly good.

I stopped here on a weekday for breakfast. Corned beef hash is one of my favorite breakfast items and they certainly delivered. It was flavorful but not too mushy or salty. I am not often impressed with the way most restaurants make their eggs but these were so good! I also enjoyed the toast and home fries. Thank you for a great breakfast! Looking forward to my next visit.

This is our favorite place to go. The food, the service, friendly, excellent prices. Like all restaurants and businesses now, it's hard to find people who want to work. Therefore, they are shorthanded right now. If you are a cook or waitress and need a job... go see them. Everyone is so friendly and goes out of their way to help you. We are patient because we know their short handed, but very nice. I can't say enough about their food quality, prices, service and so much more. You'll love the place! Maybe get a job??

A great value family restaurant. Friendly staff. Good fresh ingredients. Generous portions. Reasonable prices. First time there. Look forward to returning.
