Restaurants in Bartow

“My husband found the best place ever with this restaurant. The staff were lovely, the food was the best ever, and we are not knew to oxtails n curry chicken, this is a bucketlist place”

“My parents and I came to Bartow for a quick trip. We just wanted to pick up dinner and found Palace Pizza down the street from our airbnb. It was a great pizza! The pizza dough was excellent and had good flavor. The staff were very friendly. My husband didn’t make this trip and we have a lot of good pizza places at home, but I told him that he needs to come to Bartow to try this pizza!”

“Absolutely Wonderful restaurant! The service and food were simply Amazing. Our new family favorite!!!!”

“Grouper Sandwhich...the portion size was very unexpected...cooked to perfection and taste was phenomenal...HIGHLY RECOMMEND! LET'S NOT FORGET THE AWESOME SERVERS AMD COZY ATMOSPHERE!🥰My little family loves this place. My kids are huge fans of the cheese burger. They have said that is the REAL Happy Meal!!!”

“I had dinner with my family here to celebrate a birthday. The food and atmosphere was very good. I had the chicken marsala dish with risotto. My food was flavorful and overall very good. The service was excellent. Our server could not have been nicer. I highly recommend giving Tua Pasta a try!”

“Good service Great food Reasonable prices. I had fried spare ribs, coleslaw and fries, pork n beans it was a generous order and tasted great more than I could eat”

“Out-of-towner happy to have landed at Zest for a late, Sunday afternoon lunch on a day trip to tour Bartow's interesting Wonder House, with quick, unplanned visits to the L.B. Brown House Museum and the Bartow History Center. Located on a side street a couple of blocks from the old town square Zest has a quiet, unassuming appearance with off-street parking and an outside, covered dining patio. Inside seating includes booths, tables and the bar in a large, high-ceilinged, sort of dimly lit dining area with a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Our server Regan, (I think was her name) was efficient, and attentive and just right friendly. Our food - we both had fish and chips with cole slaw - was excellent - the slaw was good - chunky cut with vinegar-based dressing rather than mayo-based, medium cut fries and the fish were very good - tender and crisp (the fish lightly battered). Definitely would be a repeat customer if I was a local. Planning to return to Bartow for a scheduled tour of the L.B. Brown House and to explore more of the History Center and it will be hard to decide whether to try a different restaurant or to return here where we really enjoyed the service, the meal and the space.”

“My husband and I were out doing early errands and thought we would stop. Never been there before but will go back for sure. I can’t think of anything negative to say. Everyone should check it out. I don’t think you will be sorry.”

“If you have never tried Boney Mac's then do yourself a favor and give these wonderful folks a try. We have many good places to get BBQ but the best ribs I have ever had come from Boney Mac's!”

“This location is good, but just want to say, one of your employees just tried to start a fight with me at the gas pump while in Firehouse uniform. I pumped gas, and then had to go inside and wait in line for my receipt, when i get back to my car, she is mad and questioning me on why my car was at the pump. Kicking up a fuss and threatening over nothing. Probably not the best public image, since she was in uniform and either going to or leaving work. She sucks, but your location is great!”

“enjoy coming to bingo with my family and friends! having a great time tonight and I have not even won anything yet!”

“First time visiting this restaurant and it was great! The beef empanada was delicious as well as my Cuban sandwich. The food was had lots of flavor and hot! The inside was decorated so nice, brought pack memories for me! Definitely will be back to try the Ropa Vieja! Thank you”

“Food that makes you take a moment to appreciate high-quality cuisine. Not only is their food freshly made when you order, but it also tastes phenomenal. Nothing on their menu is terrible. The journey your tastebuds go on, from the first bite to the last, is one everyone strives to experience when dining out. Not only is their food outstanding, but their customer service is excellent. For example, during Hurricane Milton, they were there for this community. When all of us were at home readying our homes for the storm, the staff remained at work to ensure everyone had access to a hot meal. When all of us were sitting without power, worrying about storm damage and cleaning up, the staff served our community with hot meals. This is going over and beyond in so many ways. I will be a forever client of this establishment due to their high-quality food and how they care about the communities they serve. We recently bought a home less than two miles from one of their locations. I am not exaggerating when I tell you I eat here five days a week, sometimes more. We volunteer at Bartow Middle School 3-4 days a week. What do the teachers and staff ask us to get when there? The lake house. Please stop by and allow your senses to fall in love with this hidden gem. Let’s support small businesses like this that serve our community so well.”

“Love this place ! The food is always so good (especially the chili!) & fresh. Love the decor and vibes of the workers everyone is friendly. Definitely a Bartow staple, it’s a must try if you haven’t already.”

“We found out a high school friend works here so, so we had to stop in and see him after 40 something years. We ordered the white sauce chicken pizza for 2, my husband was first meeting my ole high school friend. The pizza was really good. The crust was fresh and the white sauce was just enough to give flavor and the chicken on it was delicious. What a great place to meet and reminisce and have good food. All employees that we came across was very polite and courteous. We will be coming through a few times a year through sport8ng events so we will definitely stop by.
Thanks for taking time to chat a little with us Bruce.
See ya next time

“That was some excellent service definitely one of the best waffle houses I’ve ever been to the day of my life. I just worked a 10 hour shift and got me the hash brown bowl with double meat, bacon and eggs and some sausage. They gave me fresh lemonade, and the atmosphere was very welcoming, and I must say the cook really outdid himself I believe his name was Roy on the stove like I’ve never seen anyone ever before in my life. He flipped the eggs so I did not think it was real and I think he might’ve even gave me an extra egg on my hash brown bowl I just hope they don’t take that off his check because I believe an extra egg is $1.25+ tax but other than that waffle House experience I ever had in my life might have to go back next Tuesday, but that’s only if Roy is cooking”
