Rumba Island Bar & Grill

Fun! Cool! Great drinks! I have been a few times.  The food is very good. I've enjoyed what I ordered each time. My hubby and I love the rum cake.

This is my nearest fix for slow smoked wings in town besides Tommy's Paradise. Even with their outdoor feel, and exposed open bar they manage to keep the place quite comfortable on those stifling Tampa summer days. The Rumba Salad is tasty, refreshing, and simply well done. Staff is honest, I suppose. Management is pretty cool too. I still haven't figured out why they removed the front door.and the hostess stand ...there must be a reason..somewhere..

Great little gem in Oldsmar, and a great place to hang out if you're a cougar or looking for a cougar.

We met some friends for drinks and dinner and ended up sitting at a high top in the bar for almost 4 hours. It was a great place to people watch and to get some cocktails.

In the span of 4 hours, we saw a group of cougars, only to be replaced by a group of pumas.  We saw an older man in a full suit who was making his rounds at the bar, kissing babies and shaking hands. I felt like he potentially was the mayor of Oldsmar.

All that aside, the food is very well priced and good. We had a grouper cake ($7) and shrimp quesadillas (also $7) for an appetizer. We ordered the shrimp bowl, cheeseburger, catfish sandwich and a Cuban. All were great and a wonderful value. The only thing that made it a little less enjoyable was the fact that the mango chutney on the shrimp rice bowl was drowning my shrimp.  It was way too much and way too sweet. If they would have laid off the sauce a bit it would have been perfect.

4 hours and several rounds of drinks later, our tab for the 2 of us was $70.  A steal!
