“Southern traditional fried chicken and tasty fries the Best! Great service and friendly smile's. A family atmosphere and highly recommend. A hidden little treasure!“

“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.“

“Just had a delicious brunch here! Passed through Bowling Green on the way to Naples and can highly recommend stopping here to eat. Our server was very friendly and helped us (confused Brits!) with the menu.“

“I’ve had the privilege of visiting the restaurant several times . Ive only had a great experience each time. The staff and management are always very attentive to my needs. The steaks and drinks are awesome . Ashley & Karen are great. At management as you can tell by the staffs professionalism but yet down to earth and. Friendly Service. I’ve also ate at other restaurants at the golf course, but this one seems to be the one that had the best food and the best service I can’t remember the servers names, but I want to say that they were all very great at their job. I recommend this restaurant to anyone that visits the golf course.“

“Delicious food. Gotta go another day for the Alfredo. We had burgers, fried chicken, chicken salad, fried pork chop and fried green tomatoes. Scratch made is delicious!“
