A real restaurant, run by students

Every plate that leaves our kitchen is prepared and served by Robinson High School Culinary Arts students. They write the prep lists, run the line, work the front of house, and close the register.

The Tavern opened in 2017 and has become a Robinson tradition. Guests are welcome: teachers, families, neighbors, and anyone in South Tampa who wants a good lunch. What you spend here goes back into the program, giving students hands-on experience in culinary arts, hospitality, and restaurant management.

Good food. Better people. Brighter tomorrows.
