“This is a Hidden little gem in Fort Meade. I came across this place when I started working in the area, by a menu that was in my office. It looks like a take out only restaurant just from the outside and in passing , I decided to order take out for lunch and was so surprised at the seating available for dine-in. I enjoyed their fried okra and a pressed Cuban that of which I saved half for for dinner. It was alot and it was the best cheat day lunch in Fort Meade. The okra was a tiny bit tough and under cooked but all in all delicious.”

“We eat here way more than we should and I’m convinced there’s some magic going on in that kitchen. Every single thing always tastes good. I could live off their chicken pot pie soup and chicken tenders with fries. You get crazy portions for a good price. Absolutely love the staff, Mary is such a special lady and probably my favorite part about eating here. I hope it stays this way forever!”

I have never gotten an order of food that I did not like or that was not hot. We order at least once or twice a month I 100% recommend this restaurant for your dining needs”

“My wife and I were shopping in Bartow this afternoon, and had lunch at Tua's (as my wife had read a number of excellent reviews on the food and service). This is a family owned and run restaurant that is very clean, and offers a good selection of Italian foods.My wife had their house salad with chicken, and I had their sausage, peppers & onions dish. Both were excellent, and tasty.They mentioned that expanded gluten free dishes will soon be added to their menu, and as well pizzas. This restaurant is well worth checking out, if you enjoy fresh quality Italian food.”

“What an adorable, charming spot tucked away in downtown Bartow. I appreciated the cozy, family-owned atmosphere; the historic building added to the overall nostalgic vibe of the experience.Parking: There are some parking spots with a limited time frame.Kid-friendliness: Candy, ice cream, couple of games.”

“The food and drinks were amazing! We ordered a burger, the catfish dinners, and an appetizer with these chips and BBQ pork on them, and they were phenomenal! Not to mention, our bartender Barry was pretty great with his dry sense of humor and great attention to detail. The owner, Carrie, came out and spoke with our group and showed us the place, and shared all the history of the building. They helped save this building from being torn down it's one of the oldest two story buildings left in Bartow. Definitely recommend!”

“Bartow's hometown golf course restaurant. City owned and operated. Reasonable prices. Service is usually very good. Menu is straightforward and very good.”

“Ordered a breakfast wrap and beers from the bar. Good service and food was good. I tried the hotdog and it was ok. I’m not a big hotdog guy. Everyone else liked the food for lunch. I’d come back for lunch or dinner as well.”

“We stop at Smokin' Joe's BBQ nearly every time we kayak on the Peace River out of Paynes Creek State Park. Their food is ALWAYS delish! We had beef brisket sandwich platters and the shredded brisket was moist and out of this world! I didn't even need sauce. Their coleslaw was grated and slightly sweetened - just the way we like it. It's a no frills, homey joint with the BEST food kind of in the middle of nowhere. They smoke their own meats right on property, so it's ALWAYS fresh. Joe's won't disappoint.”

“I ordered 4 dishes. The salad was priced reasonable at $8 and looked fantastic but upon tasting, I think it lacked a signature dressing taste. I couldnt finish it because of its lack of appeal. 2.5/5The wings were cooked well, tasted good and had crunch to the skin, and were plentiful... making this appetizer dish 5/5.Soup was a bit bland considering it had a noticeable variety if contents... I didn't try and salt it perhaps I could have tried that. It was a small portion but overall wasn't bad it just wasn't great. 4/5Chips and fish dip. Interesting dip choice. A bit salty for my liking which made it hard to indulge in. As one single eater unlike other dips I've had, I couldnt finish it. This dish would be best for a large group where everyone has a couple of chips each. 3/5Atmosphere of the place was very good. Lots of natural lighting. Deer off in the distance was a nice touch lol. Overall not a bad place if your here I'm not exactly sure if it's worth driving an hour for but I could be wrong.”

“Mike's Drive In is the oldest Drive In Restaurant in Bartow. Everything about is wonderful from the food to service & atmosphere. Steaks, hamburgers, chicken, seafood and salads. Love their monthly car shows. Highly recommend.”

“This place has made me broke in the best way possible. Live in bellalago and this Starbucks is so convenient every time I leave the house! Service is super fast and the ambiance is very nice for studying and working. This is my favorite location so far!”

“Went to drive thru the gentleman was very nice had a great since if humor. And the orders were correct. Nice to see happy people. Everything was great as always.”

“The food is great but make sure you get all your food we went in through the drive-thru and they forgot our beans and we live all the way in Winter Haven so there was no turning around and going back.”
