About the Menu

Ulele’s menu offers a thoughtful blend of American dishes inspired by the rich culinary traditions of Florida and its surrounding waterways. It strikes a balance between casual and refined, showcasing a variety of flavors that feel right at home in its vibrant yet relaxed Tampa Riverwalk setting.

Guests often come here to enjoy satisfying bites that range from fresh seafood starters like the Ulele Signature Charbroiled Oysters and Oysters Half Shell to heartier options such as Shrimp and Grits or the Crackling Pork Shank. The menu also features creative takes on regional favorites, including handcut Okra Fries and the Native Chili loaded with distinctive local meats.

The selection extends beyond food to include thoughtfully crafted drinks that complement the atmosphere—whether it’s a refreshing mocktail or a smooth Espresso Martini to round out an evening. Desserts like Coconut Ice Cream and the Key West Key Lime Stack provide a light, sweet finish without overwhelming the palate.

This is a spot where guests can settle in for anything from a midday meal with friends to a leisurely dinner that pairs well with views of the water. The food and drinks together create an inviting experience that feels approachable yet connected to the vibrant local culture.
