My buddy, Ron Chase, always has something new and delicious cooking up at Full Circle Pizza & Grill (19651 BBD Blvd., in the Pebble Creek Collection), so it should come as no surprise that Full Circle now has a great new coffee menu and new dessert items, all being offered at a gotta-try-it price for the summer.Continue reading

It seems to have taken a while, but the new Cody’s Original Roadhouse, located in the former location of Remington’s Steakhouse at 27405 Wesley Chapel Blvd. (S.R. 54), did open to the public earlier this month, with the same reasonably priced steaks and more (and lots of peanuts) as the other Cody’s locations around the Tampa Bay area. For info about Cody’s, call 513-9200.
Speaking of new eateries, Pinchers Crab Shack will open within a few weeks (perhaps in time for the Freedom Festival on Thursday, July 3; see page 1) in the former location of the Aja night club in the Shops at Wiregrass mall. Aja fans won’t recognize the place, but fresh seafood fans (like yours truly) are excited that Pinchers is getting close to opening. Visit PinchersCrabShack.com or TheShopsatWiregrass.com.

With nine extremely popular locations already open in Florida, but none further north than Cape Coral (and most in the Naples/Ft. Myers area), the Shops at Wiregrass mall in Wesley Chapel has announced (with some small signs) that the first Tampa Bay-area Pinchers Crab Shack will open in the mall, although we have not yet heard about an expected opening date for the fresh seafood eatery specializing in fresh Maryland-style blue (above) and the delicacy of Florida stone crabs (when they’re in season, which is Oct.-May).
Pinchers also features everything from grouper, mahi-mahi, scallops and shrimp to BBQ ribs, fried clams and oysters and more.
We’ll keep you posted as to when Pinchers is expected to open.
