FLORIDIAN – American
On West Kennedy Boulevard in Tampa, this Cuban sandwich shop has been run for more than two decades by Harold Seltzer, a Montreal-born restaurateur who previously owned steakhouses in St. Petersburg and Port Richey. The Cubano anchors the menu, built the traditional way with roast pork, ham and Swiss pressed on Cuban bread, and Creative Loafing has separately named its turkey sandwich Tampa's best. The Tampa Bay Times has repeatedly listed it among its Best of the Best picks in multiple years. Dine-in, curbside pickup and delivery are all offered on weekday and Saturday daytime hours, with shorter Sunday hours.
