Uncle Willie's Sandwich Shop

Rating: 5.0


Uncle Willie's Sandwich Shop
South side of Ybor City
Is the place you got to stop
When you're feelin' hungry

Bacon, tomato, and a scrambled egg
On Cuban toast with butter
Grease drippin' on your leg
There ain't nothin' better

Add sausage and red eye gravy
Hot sauce and a deviled crabby
Wash it down with cafe' con leche'
So what if you gets flabby

Drive South on 22nd Street
'Bout two miles South of 60
Get your mouth set to eat
Good food that's real rib sticky

(This is a local greasy spoon that's been around for years and is an icon in the breakfast and lunch trade. It's in Tampa, Florida, and I stopped here often to enjoy their comfort food.)
