Best American Restaurants in Thonotosassa

Excellent food, a cut above. Inside is sports bar, so it was noisy until Happy Hour ended

Kimberlee was fantastic! Perfect blend of insight on the menu and not being too much of an interruption at our table. Roasted oysters, crab cakes, pork tomahawk with green beans and mashed potatoes were outstanding. Mac n cheese was dry but the bourbon butter cake more than made up for it!

I recently came to the Cooper hog for an important business meeting. Their booths offer just enough privacy, which was perfect! The food was delicious. The service was excellent. I am excited to come back soon. 

Gorgeous day to sit outside, where it’s less noisy than sitting indoors. Came for a Sunday brunch with a small group of friends, and food was delicious as always! We share the dips appetizer, and the server offered extra pita for our party of 5 ladies, and it was perfect! I always get the grilled octopus salad (it’s my favorite), but the other ladies got the salmon Benedict, avocado toast, a salad with feta, and one other dish I cannot remember. Everything was great, server was attentive without being overbearing. He was very knowledgeable for our 1 friend’s first dining experience there. The bees were swarming our table towards the end for some reason, but someone else came by our table to check on us and gave us an extensive talk about the bees—one of our friends even provided a beekeeper recommendation. Prices for our meal align with what you would expect for a restaurant of this caliber ; however, the pastry prices seem high for the small pieces provided. Overall a lovely experience! Will definitely be back!

For tonight's dinner I started with the Crispy Buffalo Cauliflower (fresh-fried cauliflower bites topped with Sriracha aioli and served with cool-herbed ranch dressing, house-made pickled cucumbers) and it was fantastic. For my dinner I had the Pan Seared Grouper Picatta with capers, lemon butter, warm house-made orzo pasta, grilled asparagus and it was delicious/flavorful and one of my favorites. My regular server "Adam" was exceptional, as always, and he is consistently friendly, attentive, patient, accommodating, efficient, and he has made so many wonderful recommendations to me that have all awakened my taste buds. Sacred Pepper is an excellent choice for the ambiance, awesome wine/drink selections, amazing and delicious food selections, soothing after dinner drinks, and mouthwatering desserts. And the service staff are all so friendly and welcoming. it's a "WIN" for me every single time I eat there!
