About Ladies of the Sea & Soulfood
Ladies of the Sea & Soulfood serves seafood and soul food in Tampa. The menu centers on crab dishes, with blue crabs, dirty blue crabs, snow crab dinner, dirty snow crabs, and the Capt. Platter. The kitchen also serves comfort plates built around familiar Southern flavors.
The name sets the tone. Seafood leads, soul food follows, and the kitchen keeps the focus on hearty plates. Cornbread, mac and cheese, collard greens, yams, turkey wings, jerk chicken, red velvet cake, and banana pudding are among the dishes tied to the house. The business also notes no pork. Guests can order a quick bite or settle in for a fuller meal, and the counter service keeps the process direct from order to pickup or table.
Service runs across dine-in, takeaway, delivery, and outdoor seating. Lunch and dinner are served, and reservations are accepted. The space also offers catering, dessert, seating, and a kids' menu. Solo diners are welcome too. A meal can start with a crab plate, move to a side, and finish with dessert without changing pace.

Payment options include credit cards, debit cards, and NFC mobile payments. Free street parking, a free parking lot, and a paid parking lot are all available.
Seafood and soul food
Ladies of the Sea & Soulfood is a seafood restaurant and a soul food restaurant in Tampa. The address is 2705 E Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Tampa, FL 33610, United States. The name fits the kitchen’s focus. It serves seafood and soul food under one roof, with NO PORK noted in the business description.
Tampa sets the backdrop, but the address does the real work for planning a visit. Drivers can head straight for E Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. That helps when a meal needs to fit into a work break, a family stop, or a casual dinner on the way home. The page title and the location line both point to the same place: a seafood restaurant Tampa diners can find without guesswork. A second search phrase that fits the business just as well is soul food restaurant Tampa, since both sides of the kitchen identity matter here.
The food side matters because the restaurant serves two kinds of comfort on the same visit. Guests can come in for a seafood meal, or choose soul food when that is the stronger pull. The NO PORK note matters for planning the plate before anyone arrives. It gives the kitchen a clear line. That kind of clarity helps a meal move faster once the order begins, because the diner already knows the direction of the visit before stepping through the door.
Hours and ordering
The week starts with a closed Monday. Tuesday through Thursday run from 11:30 AM to 8 PM. Friday and Saturday stay open later, until 10 PM. Sunday shifts to 1 PM through 6 PM. The pattern gives the restaurant a lunch window on most days and a later dinner option at the end of the week.
Guests can dine in, takeaway, or use delivery. Outdoor seating is also available. On-site services are part of the setup, and reservations are accepted. That gives a few ways to plan the meal. A quick lunch can stay simple. A dinner can sit inside or outside. A pickup order can move through fast when the day is packed. The service pattern suits solo dining too, since the restaurant supports a single meal without extra planning.
The timing changes the shape of the visit. A Tuesday lunch can start after 11:30 AM and finish before the afternoon runs long. A Friday night can stretch later, with room for a slower table or a later pickup. Sunday is shorter, so the meal fits a tighter window. See the crab-led menu page for the food side of the visit, then use the hours here to match the meal to the day.
