“I'm visiting from CA and my dad wanted me to try this place so he took me here for lunch. He likes it a lot and it didn't disappoint. I was gonna get a Philly but I've never had an opportunity to have a Tampa Cuban. It was delicious! Well, not enough mustard so it was kind of dry but I just added some mayo and that fixed it. I really loved the bread! Dad loved his fish and sticks, the fish was tender and flaky. Service was fast and friendly, even with a full house. Great place!“

We will definitely be back!“

“Listen, I’m not saying I’m obsessed, but second visit and I’m already planning my third. Nutwood in Lakeland just keeps delivering flavor punches straight to the taste buds like a cheerful boxer who really likes you. The Spanish octopus? Holy tentacle takeover. Tender, perfectly charred, I wanted to propose marriage to it right there at the table. It’s the kind of dish that makes you whisper “I’m not worthy” between bites while your dinner companion side-eye you. 11/10, would let it ruin all other octopus for me. And then… oh sweet green heaven… the Green Eggs and Ham. I’d never thought I’d say this in a grown-up restaurant, but Dr. Seuss himself would’ve dropped his hat and applauded: I would eat them here or there, I would eat them anywhere! I would eat them in a boat, I would eat them with a goat! I would eat them in Winterhaven town, Especially when Nutwood lays that green sauce DOWN! Say! I will eat them with a spoon, I will eat them morning, night, and noon! I do so like green eggs and ham! Thank you, thank you, Nutwood, ma’am! It’s not just clever plating — it’s a flavor bomb disguised as whimsy. Bright, herbaceous, pesto, rich, and somehow still light enough that you don’t hate yourself afterward. Pure culinary sorcery. Nutwood continues to be the cheeky, flavorful gem of Winterhaven. Bold plates, zero pretension, and enough personality to make you laugh out loud mid-bite. If you haven’t been, fix that immediately. If you have… see you there next week (I’ll be the one pretending it’s my first time again).“

“I was so happy to run into this spot after just reminiscing about the old location by Winter Haven high school stadium!! The burger was just as good as I remember 😋, can't wait to go back!!“

“Been going here for years love this place so relaxing food delicious Great service beautiful inside and out can't say Enough good things everyone Should go an experience such a peaceful place They'll come back over and over again. The owners are fantastic. So go and enjoy“

“Having eaten in this restaurant multiple times over the years I quite honestly can say that Eric has done an amazing job with the restaurant, food, and waitresses. They are pleasant and professional with one waitress truly making people smile. She is a consummate mom to her little man Xander and one of the main reasons why I eat there.“

“Service was great. We love Nugget! And food was hot and delicious.😘“

“I love this place. My friend and I go there.“

“Great food and customer service. The wait staff was very tentative. Great prices too! Hard to find these prices any more for the amount of food and service. Highly recommend.“

“If you are gonna eat, don’t take it to go. It gets SOGGY QUICK and turns into a waste of money 😭 even on a 5 minute drive back to where i was. The store is cute. The strawberries were fresh.“

“Beautiful driving range very big, nice grass and super friendly and helpful service. So this was my first time going here since I’ve just been getting back into golf and I’ve been having trouble making good contact with the ball and a man that works there named GOAT came up and helped me with my stance and wow what an improvement! I’ve been to a few other places and you never get any help like that from the staff I will definitely be going back here ASAP and often! Can’t wait to play the course here! Thanks again to Goat for the amazing advice!“

“9/23/23 Was the first time I had gotten their pizza. Got a cauliflower pizza ( supreme) for myself and a regular supreme pizza for my birthday boy, husband. The BEST pizza I have had since moving to Florida 4.5 years ago! What a gem!! Thank you!!“

“Had the fish fry tonight. 100% recommend!! Sooooo good!!“

“Absolutely adorable! Love the ambiance. Very chill vibes tonight. Charles is an A1 employee for sure. He helped me over the phone when the awful AI system failed when placing my order (please reconsider that as an option because I almost hung up because of it). Not only that, he made me smile while placing my order and offered suggestions to tasty dishes since this was my first time trying this place. Upon arrival to pick up my order, he was welcoming and efficient. I will return because of Charles!! I hope all the employees are as charismatic!

Updating to say Patrick is also an all-star! Also, the portions of food are substantial and delicious!“

“In town for the weekend and had the best service and food! Lupa was amazing from when we walked in until we left! So sweet, so personal! We ended up eating here for breakfast both mornings because it was so great! We will definitely be back next year when we are in town! Thank you, Lupa, for our amazing service!“

“good food and nice people also amazing strawberry lemonade“

“A bit out timing one order but I guess it was crowded today“

“We ate here tonight after a long and satisfying day at Legoland with our kids. The food was on point. (Deluxe double burger and kids meals with vanilla and carmel pecan custards). I needed to specifically highlight the staff, who were super kind and patient with us and our small children; none of us knew the menu well, and they took time to answer our rookie questions without showing any impatience, esp on new year's eve a couple hours before closing. I wanted to also specifically highlight the black man who worked the counter tonight and took our order; he acted like he genuinely cared and took pride in what he does- I am sorry I dont remember his name, but he was fantastic in every way. I should have tipped him (I know tipping isn't required) and now I regret not. But the food, service, and cleanliness were all excellent. Thanks for making our last meal out of 2025 a really good one.“

“It was great food Great service“

“Tantrums food truck was at Front Page Brewery in Bartow and we weren’t going to get anything we brought pizza but I kept smelling the food so we got the shrimp and grits. Best decision of my life! I love shrimp and grits but this is a different take on it. It was absolutely delicious! Like how did this come off a food truck! The crispy grits cakes the bacon peppers and onions the shrimp cooked perfectly! Can’t wait for them to come back!“

“Whenever I am in town visiting my sister I always want to eat at least one meal at Country Angels. Their food is delicious. Love their catfish filets.“

“We loved dining at this restaurant. The food was outstanding—everything was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and tasted like it was made with real care. The portions were generous, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer.

Finding a restaurant that nails great food, fair prices, and excellent service all at once isn’t easy, but Low and Slow does exactly that. We’ll definitely be making the trip back from Tampa again. Highly recommend!“

“Don’t let the fact that this IHOP is within a Rodeway Inn deter you. I would not have visited had it not been for all the highly rated reviews. I agree though; the food was quick, fresh, and affordable. The service was great and the restaurant was clean.“

“Excellent food service and atmosphere“
