Had dinner and drinks here with friends recently. The owner and staff were rude and obnoxious. Not sure how they stay in business. I give them poor marks for customer service. Food was also subpar.
Best Onion Rings EVER!!!. So if you want the best this place has to offer, stick with anything DEEP FRIED!!!! sandwichws are good, but can be hit or miss!! Best onion rings ever, and I completely stole a few of my kids chicken bites!!! YEAH, THAT GOOD!!!! Oh btw try the Lagunitas lil something wild on draft, INSTANT GOOD TIME!!!!
Highly Disappointed. Won’t be back. I’m very disappointed in Gaspar’s! My friends and I come here weekly to participate in karaoke and hang out. I’m highly displeased in the lack of consistent service. Last night we were told that we have to purchase 2 items to participate in karaoke which has never been the case. Ironically after we purchase our 2 items, we’re then told they decided to close karaoke. Every week we leave around midnight and karaoke is still ongoing but all of a sudden this week karaoke ends an hour into it. This is something we look forward to every week and it seems as though we were played only to spend money and not be able to participate in the karaoke that they proudly promote they offer every day. As I was typing this review, the manager Amy comes out of no where and yells about us not having to pay our bill but we cannot come back? We were the ones inconvenienced and then were punished. I’ve never experienced this from any establishment and can’t help but wonder if we were being pushed away because we brought a little diversity to Gaspar’s. Whatever the reason may be, this type of treatment is unwarranted and not professional.
Am I the customer or not???. I went to this bar after being beg to go by friends and hang out thinking I can maybe have a new spot to hang out at but boy was I wrong the customer service was horrible the short red head bar tender and a few other dont speak or smile just ask you what do you need as if you’re nagging them or something, serve you and on to the next and when it comes to the tip believe me when I say you profiled before you even get your change back although the food and music was great I probably won’t return…..
Just stop it, Gaspar’s, OK? Just stop.. I drive past this place several times a week and the fact that it bills itself as an oyster bar tempts me. My husband and I had visited a few months ago and ordered a dozen raw, pleasantly surprised that Gaspar’s had a decent selection of craft beers on tap. The oysters weren’t too bad and we left agreeing that we needed to come back sometime; it was homey, down to earth, unpretentious, not great but more than good enough being that it’s only a couple of miles from our home. We went back last night, oh how I wish we’d not. We went back for the raw oysters and the craft beer and lo, the raw oysters were on special – that should have been our first clue something was amiss. Being the trusting souls we are, though, we ordered two dozen. What showed up in front of us was a plate of dead oysters – they were raw but they looked as though they’d been sitting for a while; sinking down into the shells and melting into the liquor rather than bursting up with plumpness and life. No matter, down the hatch and chase it with a swig of bitter IPA. Well, let me tell you, these oysters tasted like they’d been soaking in dirty dish water before they were shucked. I’m sorry to say it because I’m not one to complain much, but the oysters tasted like a stale sponge smells – mildewy and un-fresh. I’ve never not finished a plate of raw oysters and even if I’d not, my husband would scoop them up. But neither one of us could muster up the cojones to finish these.We ordered other food to try and make up for the awful oysters; he got a hamburger and I got wings. Hubby said the fries were really good. That was about it. None of our plates were cleared of food. But the beer was good.So I get it, Gaspar’s. You’re not really there to be an oyster bar, and you’re not really there to be a restaurant. Mostly you’re there to be a bar where people can smoke and bring their dogs (don’t get me started on the two giant german shepherd mix dogs lying right in the middle of the walk way; we had to turn around and go the other way because there was no room to get around the dogs and they and their owners just looked at us). I’m ok with that – be a patio bar for drinkers and smokers and dog worshipers. What you need to stop doing is touting yourself as an oyster bar, because no self-respecting oyster bar serves raw oysters that taste like they’ve been soaking in a bucket of stale water from the Hillsborough River for three days. And if you can’t get your hands on any good, fresh oysters, you definitely should not be passing these nasty ones on to your customers – not if you’re a self-respecting oyster bar. So just stop it, Gaspar’s. Take down the oyster sign and put up a big flashing BAR sign, along with a SMOKING ALLOWED sign and a BIG GIANT DOGS ALLOWED sign. That should be just about right.
AWFUL! If you expect good costumer service for your money DONT COME HERE.. Service is beyond bad. The you get the feeling of an outsider or not welcome from the start. They don’t tell you about their specials even when you ask. In my case I saw a sign on my way out after I paid saying what I ordered was on special therefore I was overcharged. When I brought this to the staffs attention all I got was an apology saying they would not fix their mistake. The manager didn’t even present himself, he just sent a message, or so the waiter said. I just said they won $5 but lost hundreds cause even though I live near I will not step foot inside again!
Something for everyone. Great hangout spot! Good food, friendly staff, karaoke inside, live music outside, and a pool hall/game room. Good value menu and drinks and dog friendly patio. A staple in Temple Terrace.
