Tampa is about to get a taste of a new restaurant, and it’s owned by a famous actor

Lepley’s Kitchen and Lounge is on the verge of its soft opening in the former Social House location in Seminole Heights. The establishment, named after its owner, Tyler Lepley, renowned for his roles in “Harlem” and “P-Valley,” will make its debut at the end of this month, with a soft launch scheduled for Saturday, October 28, and Sunday, October 29.

Tyler Lepley, a Los Angeles-based actor, was introduced to Tampa by a friend and business collaborator. Amid his nationwide travels, he discovered a welcoming atmosphere in Tampa, coupled with the city’s promising growth, prompting him to select it as the location for his inaugural restaurant venture.
