I worked in food management for almost 10 years and I know how hard it can be to make the guest feel like you care , good days or not. They heard in my voice that I was really sick and they took the time out to make sure I was ok while I was ordering for my family. This to me speaks volumes. And should to everyone else who is lucky enough to dine with them. My food was quick, and fresh. The inside was clean and the lovely lady working the second window whom I didn’t get her name, I apologize for that, they all had a warm positive attitude.

“Was in town watching dogs for someone, and saw that this place A) exists and B) has cheesesteaks. I will try a cheesesteak anywhere, even if gunfire is happening around me. Thankfully, this restaurant is in a no fire zone. But for this sandwich, it would be worth the risk and the added expense of kevlar. I kid you not, their “Awesome Philly Sub” is that and more. I can’t remember eating a better cheesesteak in 2 decades, and I’ve most certainly tried. Two thumbs up isn’t quite enough… I’ll have to borrow some extra thumbs from my enemies to add to the score. Highly recommended! And I’m a cheesesteak snob… they conquered my appetite and I’ll most definitely be back when I’m out this way again. If you live in Lakeland and love sandwiches and HAVEN’T TRIED THIS PLACE, you are missing out and are making a bald eagle cry. I can’t prove that second one, but it sounds legit.”

I knew it would need to be re-heated, and they provided good instructions, but everything came in sealed plastic bags. I was expecting it to be in containers that could be placed directly in the oven, so at the last minute, I had to scrounge around & find 8 of my own Corning ware dishes, pots & pans for heating it all.

“I was Amazed to see customers with dogs in an open restaurant where dishes are buffet style. It turned me off because dogs should not be in restaurants where people are dining. Dogs carry germs and other bacteria. This should not be allowed in Any restaurant even if they are service dogs. There should be limits placed on animals in food places. Don't 4get people dogs are not human. They are ANIMALS and they walk on dirty grounds with 4 feet. Also there are people that are allergic to dogs, afraid of dogs and can't be around them for medical purposes. Let's stop being selfish with animals. Just because you may love them others may not.

“My husband and I stop at this location base on the fb reviews. Let me tell you something, don't let the outside intimidate you because the inside was so worth it. When we parked we noticed a veteran walking out to his truck and asked him if it was just for the veterans and he said no. He told us to go straight to the bar and that the restaurant was in the back. The Saturday afternoon, it was also bingo and let me tell you, all eyes where on me and my husband🤣 . The bartender was super sweet and I sure did ordered me a rum and coke. She told us to go out through the middle doors and asked for Katie , who is super sweet.
My husband had a steak and cheese with tater tots and I had a chicken bacon ranch with onion rings, recommended by Katie. Thanks Katie and Noah the cook , everything was delicious and we sure will be back to try the Amish icecream. Next time, we will come in throught the outside back door, so we don't disturb the peeps during bingo🤭”
