Memorable. Bacon brownies. The sign had intrigued me and mocked me for two years and every time I went to Publix to do some light grocery shopping. No. I dont cook. You already know that. But I craft and serve incredible alcoholic libations. Isnt a Bloody Mary a meal on its own? Couldnt a cucumber gimlet adorned with basil and a sliced cucumber act as a liquid salad? If I only drink those… am I juicing? The sign bothered me. The deli says absolutely nothing in that corner. It is not ugly enough or pretty enough… it is just blah and there. Since I am observing the strictly-no-eating out-a-lot counsel of my irrational accountant post tax day, I had to grocery shop. He had also advised me to never go grocery shopping while I am hungry. What is a girl to do? I was starving as I held my ecologically caring reusable grocery bags. As my platform heel stepped out of Aurora (Yes, I named my car), a Shakespearean existential question was asked: To eat or not to eat… To eat. Imagine all the money I was saving by not going into Publix famished and depressed. I would have paid for cases of twinkies. I would have bought and carried out ho-hos (no pun intended. My friends were not with me). I might have kidnapped Sara Lee, Aunt Jemima and Ben and Jerry. No bueno! I casually crossed the street and entered Zudars. The insignificant outside is misleading. The place was packed. There was one table of two left untouched and ready for me right at the front door. Was this the deli version of Ciros Speakeasy? It was two oclock and the place was a convention center for the hungry businessmen. Servers were running around taking orders, delivering food, answering phones and handing out bills. I tried to coyly reach the table in anonymity. It was not to happen. A table of six men (eating half sandwiches and a side of salad) turned and smiled. Up and down and up and down their eyes went. Had they confused me with Angelina Jolie? Maybe. I was having a really good hair day. I might have been pouting even. I knew the fascination with me would end the minute I ordered my food.The green-eyed foodie was with me so we ordered a mixed Reuben (corned beef hash and roast beef), a chicken parmesan sandwich, a side order of mac and cheese (because one can never have tried it enough. I want to be like a barista of the stuff. A macancheeserista.) We had promised to try the bacon brownies somehow too. Even when Zudars was filled with costumers, the service pulled through. Those tables were turning fast. Within ten minutes we were eating our sandwiches and harassing one another picking out food from the others plate. Great sandwiches. Huge. Wonderful value. The mac and cheese proved to be a slightly better version of the powdered Kraft one. Even the macaroni itself was a twin brother of the Kraft kind. Disillusioned. I asked for the brownies to go. It turned out that there was also one kind made with peanut butter and bacon. So we did order enough to sample them. I cant say if the experience of them while in the deli would have been any different. They were given to me individually wrapped in plastic wrap and they seemed cold and fudgey rather than brownish. Dense is an understatement. One tiny corner and the explosion of flavors left you baffled. The chocolate dissolves and you are left with serious bits of bacon and bacon fat slathered on the roof of your mouth. I believe these brownies are like one of those love or hate relationships. No matter how you look at them, when it is over you are bound to have a memorable aftertaste.
Outstanding!. The quiche Lorraine was amazing. My husband had the mojo pork with black bean and yellow rice, he said it was amazing. We also ordered the hidden valley wrap, kids cheeseburger and bacon and cheese fries. Everything was great. I have the coconut cream pie and my husband has the chocolate fantasy cake and we are not worried, I am SuRe it will be just as good, if not better than dinner. Thanks, we WILL be back.
I was half expecting to see a Doctor Strange villain after reading the name of this Deli. Turns out this quaint place is the perfect slice if Americans. I had the Ruben. Cooked to perfection. The pastrami was like an autumn breeze, the crispy fries made for a luscious golden medow. I feel I left a piece of my behind at Zudar’s, and the rest of me will never be the same.
Best kept secret in Tampa! …. Best kept secret in Tampa!Stopped in for first time and had a BLT plus avocado. Perfection! Ripe tomato and avocado, crisp lettuce and bacon and a perfect slather of mayo on toasted sourdough. I can’t wait to come back and try something else!
Best sandwich I ever ate n Tampa by far….awesome! And that can’t be the usual size…I had to eat it in phases! You can’t have any competition..there’s no comparison…thanks again! The best!
Great sandwiches, perfect lunch spot.
Solid choice for the downtown area… I’ve done Zudar’s many times. Most of the time they get it right, the sandwiches are great and the service is good. Now and again they get it all wrong and the meal is just so-so. My experience has been that the good experiences are far more common than the bad. Among the best Reubens in town and the Rollatini is superb. Definitely worth a try, go for lunch…
