Back before there was a paved road, Skippers Smokehouse began as a small take-out joint north of Tampa. Over the years the building has been added on to haphazardly including a dining room that is a study in Old Florida rustic. The cuisine is described as "Floribbean" and features local staples including smoked fish dip, conch fritters, and fresh oysters and clams. Their award-winning Blackened Grouper Reuben sandwich was featured on the Travel Channel's Best Sandwich in America. While you're there, enjoy a drink at the Oyster Bar, another ad hoc add-on, and outside is a unique outdoor concert venue, affectionately known to locals as the "Skipperdome."
