"I absolutely enjoyed everything about this restaurant. I was seated immediately by warm and welcoming staff. Everyone that I encountered was AMAZING! Last night was my first time visiting and my waiter took the time to explain the menu to me and offer some suggestions. I ended up ordering the oxtails with rice and peas and plantains. Amazing!!! The vibe and ambiance of the restaurant was definitely it. I don't live in Tampa but I would definitely make the 2 hour drive to try different items on their menu."

"This was our 1st visit. We were celebrating our 23rd Anniversary and everything from the food, service, and atmosphere was AMAZING!!! We didn't have a reservation but were able to get a table on the balcony which was a beautiful setting with curtains, lights, and a DJ. Everyone greeted you with kindness and a smile. Tremoni our server was so pleasant and patient since I spilled and broke my sangria glass seconds after being served. He was very attentive and constantly made sure we were ok. For drinks we ordered the red Sangria and Stella. I had my fair share of red Sangrias and this tasted like a tropical drink. It was not red and too sweet for a red Sangria. I thought there was a mixup with my order and no it was their housemade red Sangria but Tremoni was kind enough to remove it without me asking since it didn't meet my expectations. The food superseded my expectations with the exception of the yams. In my honest opinion I felt like it had too much spice (I was getting too much nutmeg) but I'm no chef. The complementary corn bread with a drizzle of honey was perfection. Mac n cheese was velvety, collard greens were very smoky but still enjoyable. 1st time trying lamb chops and they were very tender. I will definitely order them again. My husband enjoyed the lobster shrimp cajun pasta and the sauce was superb. I plan to return and try the fried red snapper and oxtail."

"This past weekend, five of my family members and I enjoyed an incredible brunch at Mangos Southern Kitchen, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Our server, Brittney, took exceptional care of our table. She was attentive, warm, and proactive in meeting our needs. A special thank-you as well to the General Manager, NZ, who graciously accommodated my request for outdoor seating, making the experience even more enjoyable. The music set the perfect tone, the food was delicious and beautifully presented, and the DJ was phenomenal (so much so that I grabbed his card for future work!). The ambience was vibrant yet relaxed, ideal for family time and celebration. Mangos remains a non-negotiable staple whenever my family comes to visit. Consistently great service, energy, and atmosphere highly recommend!"

"Haley was an amazing server and provided for a wonderful first experience at this restaurant. Her drink recommendation was spot on for my wife’s taste (ambers bliss). The oxtail in their original gravy was flavorful and well cooked. The pepper steak was well done (my wife hates pink) and still tender and flavorful. The egg roll appetizer was also a hit which ms Haley also recommended. The overall experience was great and I’m very happy with where we chose to celebrate our anniversary. The DJ was also a nice unexpected touch. The music was diverse but also not too loud so we still could eat, jam and talk. We will definitely be back and Haley was def a big part of that."

"My husband and I came to Mango’s Southern Kitchen & Bar for my birthday dinner, and it was phenomenal from start to finish. My husband ordered the oxtails, and “fall off the bone” is an understatement. They were rich, tender, and full of flavor. I ordered the turkey wings very intentionally. My grandmother is from Charleston and makes the best turkey wings, so my standards are high. These were right up there with my granny’s homemade smoked turkey wings, which says everything. The drinks deserve a moment too. Perfectly balanced, flavorful, and just the right amount of buzz. Enough to feel celebratory, not enough to forget what we ordered. That’s a win. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and we loved discovering the upstairs mini bar. It added such a great touch to the overall experience. The service sealed the deal. Our server, Kayleen, was fantastic. She helped guide us through the menu, made great recommendations, and was attentive without hovering. Overall, a 5 out of 5 experience. We’ll definitely be back, especially to bring our family. My husband is half Jamaican, and the food felt authentic to a tee. This place gets it right."
