Grant Christmas Wishes With Us

 

Every year we host a giving tree at the front of the restaurant with “ornaments” that our staff and foodie customers can take home and use to grant a Christmas wish. Each ornament is for a child in need via the Foster Angels of Hillsborough County or includes wish list items for Humane Society of Tampa Bay’s for the food, toys & treats, and cleaning products they need to care for animals until they find their forever home. Next time you come to Datz or Dough to get your foodie fix, check out the tree and if you can help a child or animal, that’s great!

Thanks for all that you do to help others in the Tampa Bay community and for being a Datz Restaurant Group fan.

How Many Mac Bites Do You Want?

We make our Mac Bites in house daily, and every day they’re bacon and jalapeño cheesy, gooey, and delicious. You can order ’em as an appetizer or go really BIG and order The Cheesy Todd, which is a burger with “buns” made of our Mac Bites. Check out part of the cheesy process here and watch us on Good Morning America here. GMA host, Jesse Palmer, called The Cheesy Todd “the mother of all burgers.”
