So excited to be invited for a Content Creation Dinner at Tommy’s Chophouse in Ybor City.

Exceptional Beef, Thoughtfully Sourced

For more than 15 years, Kenneth Emery has partnered with ranchers and producers who share a commitment to quality and responsible sourcing.

Alongside classic steakhouse favorites—including Filet Mignon, New York Strip, and Ribeye—Tommy's celebrates distinctive butcher cuts such as Hanger Steak and Picanha. Many selections feature premium Wagyu beef, prized for its extraordinary marbling, tenderness and rich flavor.

It's a menu designed for both steakhouse enthusiasts and adventurous diners alike.

A Modern Steakhouse Rooted in History

Located in the heart of Historic Ybor City, Tommy's Chophouse offers a fresh take on the classic American steakhouse. Created by acclaimed restaurateur Kenneth Emery, founder of Charleston's award-winning Burwell's, Tommy's combines exceptional cuisine, warm hospitality and contemporary design in one of Tampa's most iconic neighborhoods.

Named in honor of the late Tampa architect and designer Thomas Lamb, Tommy's celebrates timeless craftsmanship and elevated dining.

I love heading over to Orlando for a nice vacation Marriott’s Cypress Harbour and getting to walk this 1.75 mile Nature Trail every day. I add a little to get the full tour for it to be around 2 miles. Definitely one of my favorite places to travel within 90 min of Tampa.
