Restaurants in Lake Wales

“We eat here often. In the last couple months we have seen a dramatic improvement. The new manager is a breath of fresh air and a much needed improvement.”

“Smash burger smashed my mouth. It was delicious. Everything was good, but a bit expensive for what I got.”

“Our favorite breakfast place!! Service is always great no matter who we have! Food is so good!!
One of our favorite servers “Sierra” is back and we love her!!”

“The smoked oxtails was heaven on earth!

The rice was really delicious-unlike any rice I've ever had!

The mac and cheese and the greens were also DELICIOUS!

The server was very kind, everything was impeccable...oh, the candid yams, and the sweet potato pie was also delicious...Truly, a meal to write home about!♥️”

“We stopped into Melanie's today for lunch. I ordered the Mahi Reuben, fresh sauteed green beans and potato salad. Everything was absolutely delicious, perfectly seasoned and cooked! Our waitress was running but sweet and attentive. Would recommend this place to anyone in the area for lunch or dinner! Casual dining atmosphere, clean and well-run. Thanks for a great meal!”

“The wife and I are always looking for new Thai restaurants,throw in Lao food and you have a winning quinella. Super friendly owner. Food is wonderful. Started with the Tom Kah Kai soup. Fragrant coconut broth with lemongrass. Loaded with chicken and mushrooms. The summer rolls were fresh and packed with herbs and rice noodles,served with peanut sauce. The wife opted for the Massaman chicken. Fresh and hot off the stove,lots of chicken,potatoes and carrots in a flavorful broth. I went for the Kua Mee Lao. Stir fried noodles in a caramelized sauce topped with shredded egg,bean sprouts, cilantro, and scallions. Both dishes were outstanding and sharable portions. We ordered the mango purple sticky rice with coconut cream to go.
It's probably a good thing. When we got home and opened it, there awaited a huge portion of some of the absolute BEST sticky rice with mango that either of us has tasted. This wa
s the crowning glory to a wonderful meal. If you like Thai give this gem a try.”

“My husband and I went to the Cheese Shop and Deli for the first time. We had the best sandwiches. I had the turkey and cheese Panini on marble rye and my husband had the Cuban sandwich. The staff was so friendly and Grace, the owner, came out to each table to speak to the customers. A great local place for some great food. I think we found our new favorite sandwich shop.”

“The food in service is always on point!”

“cool place it's a little country but still great food too”

“We had lunch at Mimi’s yesterday and today we had breakfast! The food was absolutely amazing! Everyone is so nice there and it is a very nice place to sit and enjoy the food and conversation.”

“My family and I were in the Central Florida area celebrating my 50th birthday. Cocoa Cake designed a special cake for us and they knocked out of the park. The cake captured my love of the Phillies and baseball. And more importantly the cake was delicious. Thank you for making my birthday celebration so special. Highly recommend!”

“Great food , great prices, and the people working there are super sweet! I highly recommend the tuna sandwich with chips, my mom and husband love their wraps and tots ! I just wish they were open on weekends so we can go more often since we work during the week.”

“Amazing spot! I live 45 mins away, but I'll definitely be back! Nicest staff I've ever met, owner was there busing tables, delivering drinks, talking to everyone in the place, so great! We tried the scallops, haddock and grouper, it was all fabulous! Drinks were amazing (mom was tipsy off 1 margarita lol), jump off was nice n spicy! 10 out of 10 would recommend!”

“Taqueria Mari blew me away. Honestly, these were the best tacos I’ve ever had everything was so fresh and flavorful. You can tell they put love into their food. And the fresh-squeezed lime juice? Game changer. I wasn’t expecting it to be that good, but it totally hit the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back… probably way too often!”

“I cannot speak highly enough of Akshadal. This place has by far the best food of anywhere around. The flavors are incredible. The customer service is superior and they care about the customers.”

“Very friendly and the products are exactly what I was looking for! I’ve checked other similar shops in the area and Star Coffee is for sure my favorite for friendliness, quality and price. Worth the trip into the mall every time!”

“I was brought to this bar by a friend while I was visiting home from West Virginia, haven't been to Polk county in over 10 years and I must say after going to other bars in the area I was very happy to visit this one! It was so welcoming and just a good ol bar that brought me back to the days before the internet! Absolutely will have to come back ❤️”

“I lived in Lake Wales for over twenty years and I love Al’s Place the friendliest bar in town, remind me of the old tv show “Cheers “ when everyone knows your name. The beer is cold, the food delicious and they give you plenty. On your first trip there you will get initiated with the yardstick and become a member of the family group. My son and daughter got me back in Pennsylvania as I age to see that I have proper care, but promise me every so often the would bring me back to Lake Wales to visit all my old friend. Looking forward to February at when they celebrate the the holiday Mardi Gras and have a great time with all my old friends…..It’s a pleasure…Thank You.”

“Amazing pizza! The shift leader Delany was amazing, quick, and super attentive. She deserves a raise and more recognition over other rude workers there. Keep it up Delany ! Will be back!”

“The people who greeted me were super nice and very welcoming, I went with some school friends and they gave us samples and were very friendly and not rude as some of the other people in different parts of the mall. Thank u again!”

“The bar tender, a little mouse of a man, was rude. Went out of his way to insure my draft was mostly foam! He even said he didn’t like me. Was a complete ass. Everything ven the other patrons noticed. Anyway I paid my bill and even tipped the little basterd!”

“100% recomendado. Vale la pena la espera, se demora un poco pero es porque está SUPER FRESH. Muy buen sabor. Tienen mesitas bajo techito. Probamos los chicharrones de pollo y las carne frita y los dos estuvieron 5⭐️”

“We recently became members of Bok Tower Gardens and are consistently amazed by the exceptional food at Blue Palmetto Café. Their weekend brunch menu, featuring an outstanding cinnamon bun and incredible shrimp and grits, was a delightful surprise that elevated our experience!”

“Un ambiente muy familiar. Fuimos el día de Los Padres y nos atendió una chica de nombre Rose. Muy amable servicial. Estaba muy ocupada pero siempre estuvo pendiente de nosotros y de lo que necesitáramos. Me encanta el lugar desde el local anterior hasta este. De verdad la comida riquisima y su ambiente no que decir. Rose gracias por tu servicio al cliente tan espectacular.”

“Everything was so clean, even their fry oil. My order was taking by a friendly employee with a great personality. A refreshing experience. Food is BK food, still tasty.”

“Uhm okay i see why this place has so many good reviews!! the place is clean and the people actually dont act like they despise the entire world. they also know how to do their job properly unlike every other subway ive gone to or gas station. the food is good and the girl kim that was working today (sunday,may 25 at 2:50am) has the best attitude especially for it being morning she actually baked me fresh cookies, and listened and made my food exactly how i wanted it. i usually never write reviews but joe and kim made my day and its only 3:25am. Their customer service is so good their food could be disgusting and id still come back.”

“Me and my daughter want it to try this place a while a go we finally did and so disappointing!!:the sushi where literally made for kid that's how small they where and actually there not cheap . We also ordered the dynamite roll wich is one of the signatures and suppose to be one of their best one , but to start with the description doesn't have any egg and the topping was egg made literally in a microwave honestly I didn't even try it since I returned was 16.95 for it.Naaa... We had also ordered Booba teas and our order was to go and had to wait 20!-25 mnts ..And the boba where done in less than. 3 mnts so we ask the lady to with put them on a freezer , well she took the ice out and gave us in the same drink. which I didn't wasnt a qualuty costumer service..JUST LIKE that unbelievable...I can say the lady was very nice and Friendly but the management or owners must get in top of a sushi chef and also get a different strategy for to go orders... We end up buying sushi in other place!!!”

“My mom saw the food truck while heading home and ordered the Taco platter, which comes with 3 Tacos and Rice and beans. The flavor of the rice was amazing and the beans were also delicious. The Tacos were delicious too, since I didn't order the food, I wish they added a little more onions and the cheese in the beans was a great addition too.”

“The food here is absolutely amazing, I love there chicken wings they are so big and cooked perfectly and that crunch oh my.just perfect, we love this place and once you have experienced there food you will be hooked so go and ENJOY!”

“Got food here. Called ahead cause I could find my card to see if the have TAP PAY they said yes. Drove all the way there just for them to tell me no they don't have it. I didn't have a card w me had to drive to bank and take out cash w my tap ? very inconvenient”

“This was my first time here. The food was fresh & delicious. I ordered the chicken philly combo (w/fries & drink). The service was done with a smile. I will definitely be back when in Lake Wales.”

“I ordered the vegetable egg foo young and it was perfect. I always order it here. I also got the vegetable spring rolls and the chicken sticks. Everything was fresh and wonderful. I used to go elsewhere but discovered this place and cannot stay away. The folks who run things are so pleasant. It is a nice and clean place to go where you can feel confident everything is fixed well. I love it here!”

“Always do a great job when they have steamed crabs. I got a dozen today. All larges and very heavy. It was a taste from home. Pitt Beef was good as well. Only thing missing is a snow ball.”

“It’s Great food and Great Service”

“I loved the food! It was AMAZING and the foods were fresh and tasty, I really recommend going here! The reviews that are saying otherwise must be mistaken or something!”

“I had a double bacon cheese burger meal at about 7 PM on a weekday while traveling on vacation. Was about $12. Food came pretty quick. Tasted good and hot, freshly made. Fries were hot and fresh. Just the right amount of salt. I had a Peanut Buster Parfait for desert $5.50, a little too much hot fudge, but was very tasty for a hot evening snack. Employees were nice and sociable and looked like they loved their jobs. Clean dining room and bathroom.”

“The 🥰bodacious, 💃sexy, 🔥hawt 💍wife, the 🦍curtain climber, the crumb 🐒snatcher 4000 and 🥸myself were 🚙💨out and about ☀️🥵today and 🤔decided we were 🎯hunting down some 🐓chicken wings for 🍴lunch! We decided on Lake Wales Beef O'Brady's since we have not been there in a 🔥hot ⏳minute! I 🤔think they have new 🗝️owners since we’ve been last!! We were ⏱️promptly 🙋🏾‍♀️greeted at the 🚪door by Harvest 🙂(That’s a kewl name!), who was also our server. We ✍️ordered a round of 🥤drinks and gave the crotch 🧌🧟goblins time to 🤔make up their 🧠minds on what they wanted to 🍴🧃eat. We ✍️ordered some chips and 🌶️salsa! The 🌶️salsa is tasty and has just the 🤏right amount of 🌶️spicy for 🤌everyone at the table. The 🌪️fournado ordered the mac n 🧀cheese with 🍚rice, while the 7️⃣going on 1️⃣1️⃣ year old ordered ♨️grilled 🧀cheese and celery sticks. The 😍babelicious, 🔥hawt 👰‍♀️wife ordered the 🚫🦴boneless 🐓wing basket tossed in mild sauce, with a ✌️double side of curly 🍟fries while her 🧓🏻elderly, decrepit old 🚹man ordered a traditional 🐓wing basket with curly 🍟fries and cole slaw. Mine were a 🤌dry rub of Cajun Ranch. 😋 The 🐓wings were 😳HUGE (especially by today’s standards) and 😋delicious!! The 🍟fries were good and the cole slaw has a 🤩sweetness to it that was enjoyable! The ♨️grilled 🧀cheese was a hit with the 🐒crumb snatcher 4000 🙄(who didn’t order it) while 🦍grumpy 👖pants decided that the real 🧀cheese they used wasn’t to his liking. 🫤 🫢Trying to get a 🥄sample of the mac n 🧀cheese from the 🌪️fournado would be a 🚫❗️violation of the ⛑️safety clause in my life insurance policy, sooo… it l👀ked good!?! All in all, it was a 🙌great experience that met the 🙀pangs we were having for 🐓wings! I like the “new” decor they’ve done, as it’s ✨clean and inviting. ☠️One day, in the year 2047, the 🚧construction in front of their location will be over, and I hope they do well!! 😊 — with Stephanie Hale at Lake Wales Beef O'Brady's.”

“Our family was at the Lake Wales IHOP on 8/6 and I have to say our server Brianna was fantastic even in the midst of a severely unfortunate staffing situation. There were about 25 people dining in as well as several to go orders meanwhile Brianna was hosting, serving, bussing, and handling “to go” by herself with 1 cook. I felt bad for the situation she had been put in due to scheduling/staffing as she could not possibly do EVERYTHING herself. Through it all Brianna was attentive, kind, accurate, and I could clearly tell that she had a system down pat. Great job to her!”

“Been here a bunch of times. Every time I’ve gotten something different and every time the food has been fantastic. Service always fantastic as well. Love the decor too..keep up the good work Mannys!”

“Great food and great prices! our server Sarah was great!”

“Good food Good prices. Awesome Bartenders”

“Went through drive thru and I have to say the line was rather long but moving smoothly. I got a steak burger and OMG this is not your typical fast food! This burger had flavor that is hard to find even at a sit down restaurant!! I was very pleasantly surprised! This is our new go to!!!”

“Food was awesome and they're open on Sundays! The big dill sandwich and fried mushrooms were out of this world! We didn't forget the cheesecake either. We're definitely coming back!!!”

“Lovely people Highly recommended Wonderful people The food OSS amazing 5 star ⭐️”
