good inexpensive food - Edit
Nothing on the menu is over ten dollars. the prices are very reasonable. The food was very good, I had the pad thai and I thought that the fake meat was awesome. It is in a bad part of town but once inside the restaurant, the people are very inviting. It took ten minutes for our food to come out.

Amazing food! - Edit
I was in the area and used the "Veg Out" iPhone app powered by HappyCow and this was the first place it brought up, and close by since I was visiting Bush Gardens. The food and service was outstanding, and what a variety as well. My sister and I were very pleased, and full.

Great Food! - Edit
I was so happy when Loving Hut opened in Tampa. I ate at one while in San Francisco and was wowed. Loving Hut has all vegan food with no animal products. The Tampa Loving Hut is located on East Fletcher Avenue in an area which some may consider daunting. The building doesn't look like a restaurant from the outside, where there are no visible windows or doors in front. Once you pull into the parking lot, on the side of the building, you see one windowless door and next to that, two small windows with bars on them. The entrance door is not exactly welcoming, but it's obvious it is the only entrance to the inside. But once inside, it is clean, nicely painted yellow and has a roomy dining area. There are three flat screen tv's playing Supreme Master TV, which is a satellite 24 hour broadcast consisting basically of programs "that bring nobility and spirituality to your life" I didn't mind and it's obviously a way of life for the owners of this restaurant. A friendly woman greeted us and let us pick wherever we wanted to sit (we were the only ones in there on a Friday at 12:15 and no one else came in). I ordered the Melody Wrap with seaweed, cucumber, cilantro, carrot, tomato, apple, avocado and "mayo" which I think was made from potato mash(?). My sister had the Energy Wrap with hummus, avocado, tomatoes, sprouts and carrots. They were both outstanding in taste and expertly prepared. I will definitely come here again, my only fear is that they won't get enough business to stay open. Please, if you live in Tampa, patronize this place with company!

Good food, weird atmosphere - Edit
The food here is very good... The restaurant though, kind of strange. There is some weird culty religious stuff on the TV's in the restaurant, and the employees are kind of awkward. The place itself is pretty ugly, if you care about that sort of thing. Also, if you order a sandwich, it does not come with any sides, so if you want a decent-sized meal, you have to order more than one thing.
Read morePros: great food, reasonably priced
Cons: weird atmosphere, ugly restaurant, small portions

Wonderful people, delicious food! - Edit
I have been to Loving Hut several times now with my husband, and we've been happy every visit. They have such a nice selection of items, it's always easy to find something you're in the mood for. Their Philly was good, their sub was better! I'm also fond of their curried "chicken." The only time I had an issue (forgot part of the order, no biggie!), the staff came over and apologized profusely before giving us a dessert sample on the house. Wow! I hadn't even been upset in the first place, but it was nice of them to go beyond my expectations. Definitely into customer satisfaction. I hope they stay for a long time!

Awesome Food - Edit
Very close to USF. I had the Philly cheese steak and it was amazing. One of the best dishes I have ever eaten. I also had a Smoothie that was average, but the Philly was mind blowing. Staff was nice, and inside was very clean and friendly. However the outside looks like a 70's bar. Over all great.

Cons: Outside looks aweful
