For a taste of the real Florida, come on down to Skipper's, where the joint is always jumpin' with a nightly jam of local and world-class musicians, playing everything from blues, reggae, zydeco, funk, folk, and roots rock. The North Tampa hang-out is well-known for its island ambiance, casual atmosphere, and down-home Florida, Cajun and Caribbean cuisine.

In addition to their award-winning gator black bean chili, the menu features grouper, Louisiana mudbugs, buffalo wings, and of course, oysters on the half shell, raw or steamed. Nightly specials may include jerk chicken, alligator ribs, and smoked mullet.
