TAMPA BAY TIMES REVIEW

Open every night until 3 a.m.
Review
The Word: Sure, they're big on the whole reality sports thing, but what are you going to do when you're in the sports doldrums? You'll play Madden against other poor saps that feel the same as you. You'll play it long and hard and with a blister on your gaming thumb.

The Spot: Exactly what you'd expect a sports grill to look like, Prime Time is all brass rails and wood, with the fully stocked bar as its centerpiece. There are TVs lining the walls, and a speaker in each booth lets you select which TV you listen to. Pick your audio poison and sit watching ESPN under the warm glow of the baseball-shaped lamps.

The Juice: Some are from far away, some from nearby; some are strong and some are weak. Prime Time's beer selection is just like the sports leagues they relay on cable, making this one of the better sports bars in North Tampa.

The Grub: The extensive menu offers a bit of a reach in areas such as pasta,but the regular entrees, especially the burgers, are where it's at.

The Selling Point: Sure this is a great place to go for sports. But it's an even better place to go if you like your sports played between two controllers on a video game consol. The Golden Tee and Madden football gaming tourneys are famous in this end of Tampa, dumping out cash, food and drink prizes for winners.

Prime Time is one of the best sports bars iv'e been in. The food is great and the staff is always outstanding. If you want a fun place to hangout with friends or family i would recommend this place to anyone. You should stop by and say hi to doug and his staff.

I am there every day. friendly bartenders and patrons. One bartender, Maggie is a cubs fan which is cool. The other Jan, has her own Harley and drives a corvette and remembers everyone by their first name which is also cool.

God, I love this place. the biggest and best wings in Carrollwood? you bet! friendly waitstaff, a clean. family owned restaurant. They have created a comfortable outside seating area for smokers, offering full service. Free Wireless internet, You have your typical fare (generous portions) and healthy options as well. most entrees around $10 next time you meet up with friends, meet at Prime Time. . - Bud, from Tampa

Pros: cheap, tasty, lunch

Cons: sometimes during a special event or game you need to park behind the restaurant.
