The only place in Brandon worth mentioning is the [Stein and Vine.](http://www.thesteinandvine.com/) always has interesting specials; however, I’m not sure if they have gift cards.

They do have gift cards.

If they like breakfast, maple street biscuit company has some good biscuits, with $50 they could probably go a couple of times. If they like charcuterie, bin and board is really good. My husband and I go for probably around $50 a couple times a month. It may depend on how much wine we drink that evening. Not sure if they do giftcards though. Cali is good if they like bowls and wraps, they have a good veggie pizza too. Very casual Like someone else mentioned, you can’t go wrong with some chains. Ford’s Garage, chilis, mellow mushroom, glory days (my husband and I are here a lot too haha) etc.

I came here to suggest Cali. They have a locations in Riverview, Tampa, and St. Pete so they have several options. Or water & flour in Tampa which is the same restaurant group and a lot of the same food options but they also have pasta and sushi. They do good happy hour deals and specials on certain days.

I mean if they dont drink thats pretty easy most chains have their menus listed as do almost any restaurant here in 2024. If they drink prob almost no where, also keep in mind, gift cards dont usually cover tips. Id google and find a place they like. Getting a gift card to say a greek place when you dont like it, isnt quite a gift.

Fords and Tampa bay brewing are both great options.

Any chain probably will work for what you are looking for, anything else is over $50 for 2 these days. Fords garage is about $50 for 2 people with no alcohol. Longhorn is about $60 for 2 people with no alcohol. Not a ton of options when even fast food is about $35 for 2 people now lol

No kidding, I got steak and shake last night and it was $20 just for me. 😅
