Wright's Gourmet House

Wright's Gourmet House, established in 1963 by Marjorie and Pete Wright, has been a cherished institution in Tampa, Florida. It is renowned for its gourmet sandwiches and delectable desserts.

Over the decades, it has evolved into a beloved destination for locals and visitors seeking high-quality, flavorful meals.

Culinary Offerings

The restaurant's menu features a diverse array of sandwiches, salads, and baked goods, all crafted with fresh, premium ingredients.

Signature items include the Bahama Baby sandwich, with roast pork ham, thinly sliced cucumber, bacon, and Jarlsberg cheese on an onion roll, and the Cuban sandwich made with a local twist.

Salads range from classics like Greek and Caesar to unique options such as turkey-and-pecan.

For dessert lovers, Wright's offers cakes, pies, and cookies, with the Alpine cake—a yellow cake with chocolate frosting and white chocolate shavings—standing out as a favorite.

Community Engagement and Expansion

Deeply embedded in the Tampa community for over sixty years, Wright's Gourmet House expanded in March 2025 with a satellite location at Tampa General Hospital's Davis Islands campus.

This 2,900-square-foot space offers a selection of Wright's favorite dishes for in-person, call-ahead, and online orders.
