Can you send some of them deviled crabs down to Sarasota, pretty please? I miss all those little places in Tampa that have them, can't find anywhere down here that sell them.

I had to bring some up to North Carolina last December. Apparently they're unheard of up there. What a depressing place!

The BEST deviled crabs were at Seabreeze restaurant, but it closed years ago

You MUST try the Spanish bean soup, which they serve with buttered cuban bread, and the stuffed potatoes. Unbelievable!!!

Their salads are also good and they're very generous with the portions.

I don't know about you, but I ordered a 6" sub and the stuffed potato, but I couldn't finish either of them they were so big.

And to think they have Dinner specials too!!! To go!!

Thumbs up Pick 2!

Yesss! I get the Pick 2, A Cuban and their famous Deviled Crab Cake... Places like this deserve a shout out and recognition so people should rate them!

If you want you can rate them on 813area.com here: Brocato's Sandwich Shop Tampa Restaurants, Brocato's Sandwich Shop North Tampa Ratings & Reviews Tampa FL

Not sure what other sites they're on but I know 813area promotes local businesses which is always a plus in this economy!

Oh man, Brocato's. That brings back some mouth-watering memories! My very first Cuban sandwich was from Brocato's, and very few subsequent Cubans have ever lived up to it. There is a very good reason that the line at Brocato's is out the door. I've seen grown men fighting over a leftover Palomilla sandwich .

Although I must say, I think the deviled crabs (but not the sandwiches) are better at Carmine's in Ybor.
