Odessa, Florida
Hillsborough County · 61 restaurants
Odessa is a rural-turned-suburban unincorporated community in northwestern Hillsborough County, where horse farms and rolling countryside still coexist with newer upscale subdivisions built along the Suncoast Parkway corridor. The area's 59 restaurants serve a growing but still relatively small population, with dining concentrated around the intersection of Gunn Highway and State Road 54. Odessa's continued shift from agricultural land to affluent suburb has begun drawing more restaurants to serve its expanding base of Tampa-area commuters.
Data on this page

What the citywide data means

Important context for city pages
City pages are comparison tools built from public Florida DBPR inspection data. They help surface local patterns quickly, but they are not official government rankings and they should not replace reading the individual restaurant page before making a decision.
