Closing Date for Datz Restaurant in Tampa

Author Geno


Word spread fast when the owners of the Datz and Dough restaurants in Tampa sold their land on South MacDill Avenue recently. You do have some time to get one more brunch in. They announced on social media this week that their final day in operation will be on Sunday, August 27th. Datz opened in 2009 and has been featured in the Wonder Woman movie, The Food Network and on Good Morning America.

Datz still has a nearly perfect score on Yelp. Fans love their donut burgers, chicken and waffles benedict, and monkey bread. I personally was more of a Dough guy. It was their bakery next door that had my favorite doughnuts anywhere in Florida.

They made national news a few years back for their hilarious kids menu. Menu items for parents of fussy kids included the “I Don’t Want That” (ham or turkey on sourdough), “That Looks Gross” (peanut butter, marshmallow and bananas on sourdough), “I’m Not Hungry” (chicken tenders), “I Don’t Know” (pancakes), and “I Don’t Care” (bacon and eggs).

Some good news though. The Datz locations in St. Petersburg and Riverview will stay open. And the ownership will not change. So even though the Tampa location is going away, you can still enjoy Datz’s other restaurants.

Geno's 10 Favorite Places To Get Bacon in Tampa Bay

  • First Watch in St. Pete

    Hands down my favorite bacon in Tampa Bay is the sweet candy bacon at First Watch.  Pricy but worth it.

  • Himes Breakfast House in Tampa

    Rise and Himes! Their sugar cured smokehouse bacon is phenomenal.

  • The Boozy Pig in Tampa

    I mean pig is in their name.  Their meats are out of this world.  Try their Cuban too!

  • Girl and a Grill in Seminole Heights

    The bacon egg croissant sandwich is the thing to get here.

  • The Stein & Vine in Brandon

    I love this place not so much for their bacon but their burgers… but get bacon on your burger for sure.

  • Dough in Tampa

    Those donuts at Datz are dazzling with bacon on top.

  • Cracker Barrell in Clearwater

    I usually stay away from chains on my lists, but this place is worthy.

  • Wright's Gourmet House

    They put an enormous amount of delicious perfectly-prepared bacon on their BLT.

  • Lenny's Restaurant in Clearwater

    There’s always a big line Sunday mornings for breakfast but it’s worth the wait.

  • Honorable Mention: FBOS at the Florida Strawberry Festival

    I have to label this as an honorable mention because unfortunately you can’t get it anymore.  Mama Jane retired this classic a couple years ago so sadly you won’t find it in Plant City this year.
