Restaurants in Lakeland

“They are truly wonderful people who run this market. I have been a customer here for 20+ years.”

“We ordered delivery for the first time from Cicala's (have done pick up several times) through their website! I've never had pizza actually show up when they give the delivery time but it did with them, down to the minute. Delicious, hot and all items ordered were included with no issues.

Will definitely order again. Delicious.”

“Nicolas was great! We had the shrimp and calamari and it hit the spot. Love the vibes here, we’ll be back!”

“Gosh this was the best coffee in town I’ve had in a long while. Other places just taste like chemicals. It was such a nice change to taste a great latte without that chemical taste. Will be coming back!”

“What was supposed to be a birthday dinner and drinks at the rooftop bar with family and friends turned into my surprise engagement party. It’s unexplainable how the staff at the rooftop bar were. They were so professional and accommodating (manager, waitresses and the hostess). They truly made my birthday and engagement all the more special. Thank you to all the rooftop bar staff. ❤️#topnotch”

“Great food!”

“Always delicious anytime we come. Fresh food, and great service! Ask for Sasha, she's amazing! #TeamSasha”

“Very cozy local place, the food was pretty good. Service was excellent. I do like it that if you don’t eat multiple plates and you only get one plate they don’t charge you for the full buffet. They let you eat first and enjoy your meal before they take your money.”

“Very delicious cheese burger, my favorite ale and my beautiful bride in my company. Wonderful time and great atmosphere at Miller’s Ale House in Lakeland!”

“Not only is the food AMAZING but everyone here is super nice!!!”

“Lovebird has fantastic fried chicken and some of the best ranch you will taste. Staff is always friendly and they are very accommodating. Highly recommend!!”

“My husband and I came here for a quick bite. They came highly recommend ?. We ordered the Mozzarella sticks, rice plate with shrimp and ramen. All was tasty and came out sooo fresh. Even though the restaurant was a little busy. The customer service was soo nice. I felt like I was at a family members house for lunch and not a restaurant. I must say I am a fan. I will be coming back soon because I need to try one of those teas.”

“Food was amazing as always, but the service was top notch. Taylor was our server. She was very knowledgeable of the menu, and treated us like we were the only customers in the place. Will definitely return.”

“Saw this place recommended on a Polk restaurant page, and finally got around to trying it. The food and service were absolutely amazing! We started with the Chicken Tikka Naanza, which could have been a meal of it's own, and was my personal favorite! The Butter Chicken Rigatoni and Chicken Aamwala were both absolutely delicious! We were told that they have a buffet on Saturdays and Sundays from 11a-2p to try a larger variety of items. Will definitely be returning!”

“I had dinner there tonight after several friends recommended it to me. My friends know I love sushi, and I took my son there to try it out. The presentation of the food was beautiful, our orders came out fast, considering what they were, and this was honestly some of the best sushi I have eaten. Our waiter was attentive, and very friendly. The inside of the restaurant is beautiful. As I was with my young son, I did not try the bar. I look forward to coming back. I’m trying different aspects of this place, and I was really impressed tonight. Try the Lobster Bomb Roll!”

“My daughter and I tried SoFresh for the first time today. It was SO good! she had the classic wrap and I had the Asian wrap. five stars for sure!!”

“This is the real deal! The Birria Ramen is excellent. The Quesabirria are excellent and really a a good size portion. The steak tacos are so affordable and delicious. Great new location and the owners are amazing. The service is excellent and quick. I love the fact that we can sit and enjoy or take it out easily. Hidden gem of Lakeland for sure! :)”

“Fast & delicious experience. Staff is very friendly to all including my children. Family oriented and even for corporate staff during lunch. They make sure it’s fast & delicious while paying attention to the details. Will go again and again. Thanks! ??”

“Excellent Customer service. Good food. I will highly recommend”

“This is one of the only places near me I can get pastrami and corned beef on rye bread. They expanded the store since the last time I was here and have more grocery items to buy. I would recommend anyone to come here.”

“Very fun coffee shop stop while I was in town for work. Was greeted immediately and felt no feelings of confusion as I navigated the store. The barista was super helpful in deciding what kind of coffee to get and the espresso was incredible! Will be back very soon.”

“WOW SUCH GREAT SERVICE EVERYTIME!!! Jason the manager is so on top of everything! His staff absolutely kind, efficient, intoned to needs, and the food fantastic! Havic, KC and Ashley know exactly what we want everything we walk in ! The staff and management know how to treat customers and make you feel the love anytime you are there!

“Wonderful hidden gem. Great food and service. Beautiful surroundings!”

“El lugar es muy agradable y la comida es excelente les recomiendo probarla”

“We were in town for an event and Abuelo's was recommended. One of the best meals I have had and customer service was exceptional. The El Jefe margarita is top notch and our waitress, along with the bartender, did an amazing job with recommendations based on what we told them we preferred. Loved our dinner and would make a trip back!”

“Tonight was our first time eating here, it was more than fantastic. The pizza was far best that we’ve had here in Lakeland. Fantastic crust, we had sausage and mushrooms. Oh, I just can’t say enough about Primos. I can’t wait to go back. We met the owner and his daughter. They were so pleasant, you just have to give it a try.”

“You can’t go wrong with Palace! Wonderful delicious food and great service by Jason!”

“The place is so cute and definitely gives you that cool Japan vibe! The vases on the wall are beautiful and they have anime playing on one tv(when I went they had Naruto on :D) and a regular show on the other, it's a great place to come with your anime loving friends if your into Japanese food. Even the plates are elegant :))) and the food is very good I would definitely recommend <3 (*'▽'*)(≧∀≦)(๑･̑◡･̑๑)”

“We just had soup and salad, sat at the bar. We got our drinks, took like 10 mins to get a straw. Got our delicious cuppa toscano soup and salad. Then another 10 mins before someone else went and got us silverware!! And she was just stocking the bar, not a waitress. Ours was very inattentive, talking to others and such. I did not get her name, but it was unusual for an Olive Garden employee. We don't get to go often as we don't have one near us. So other than that, the food was amazing as always.”

“We eat lunch at Carrabba‘s quite frequently. Our experience there is always wonderful and the food is fantastic. Jose or waiter is fantastic. He seems to read your mind and those exactly what to bring them not to bring. We would highly recommend Jose for your waiter.”

“A new favorite date night spot. Service was outstanding. Megan our waitress was fantastic. All the food was delicious, from the wine, appetizers, salads, soups, sea scallops, and crème brûlée. I have nothing negative to say about this place. We will definitely be making it a regular pick for date nights. See you soon Bay Street Bistro.”

“Had a lovely late lunch today. Our waitress, MacKenzie, was great! The beef and ginger potstickers were delicious! Loved the lemon drop martini and the parmesean crusted rainbow trout wonderful. I especially was happy to see the broccoli florets cooked soft enough and yet not mushy. My husband loved his blackened salmon. We will be back!”

“Awesome food and excellent service.....”

“always great pizza ! and the turbo crust is awesome!”

“First time here. Definitely going to make it a habit! Bento Box, delicious! Tempura shrimp, perfect, hibachi chicken and scallops awesome!! Nice large portions, good service.”

“I recommend taking a picture of the receipt after you write down your tip. They have waitress altering tips and adding an additional $100 on top of the tip you already gave. I have copies of the customer copy and the one she altered. When we brought this to the owners attention, she said she didn't care and would do nothing about it. The fraud may go further than the waiters. I have spoken with the corporate office and this is under investigation. I have also been insured that this was handled very poorly by the manager and will be addressed. Still waiting on response from manager.”

“I’m just visit the place this place so good, delicious,, i’m favorite item in they menu was the chicken with the rice fried! im would love to came back any time. the workers work very nice”

“It was my first going and it was very delicious. I enjoyed every bite of my food. Sadly I did not take a photo because it was so good I finished the plate in a flash.”

“The food was amazing! Thanks”

“Had a good meal tonight. Adrian was a good server”

“We went for dinner tonight & had some of the Best food & service ever!! Tina is an Amazing server --- fast, friendly & very attentive to us & all other customers in the restaurant! We've been there once before & had Tina as a server too, when the restaurant was packed & she STILL kept on top of all of the orders & needs of all the customers. She's very polite & has a great personality too! Kevin is also an amazing cook!! Our food orders were Perfect, delicious & exactly as we ordered! It's service like this that will keep us coming back! It definitely beats the one time we were there when it wasn't very busy, but the server we had kept complaining how tired she was, and literally dragging her way across the restaurant. We were looking around to see where she went...and she was over playing the claw game, by the cash register!! WOW!! All I can say is Tina can, hands down, run circles around that other "gaming server" any day!! We look forward to great service & yummy food---Tina & Kevin are a winning team for Dennys!”

“We always love shopping here (although limited to Saturdays 9a to 1p) whenever we are in town! ??? Lots of great bargains on all of their products, from soup to nut cookies and breads! ??? Well worth the trip and still somewhat of a discount! ??”

“No overnight parking. Checked in at the door 49. There’s a sign that you need to call some number and press 0 or 3, but system tells that the mailbox is full, so you can just skip that part and knock on the door directly.
I had some black- wrapped pallets ,so they sent me to the door the 37 first and then to 49.
Not very tight.”

“my first time at a Waffle House ever and the service was absolute crap! I have never in my life got served One Plate at a Time at a very slow pace to the point where by time I got all of our food it was cold or getting cold where you couldn't even fully enjoy it! they had one waitress and one cook who look like he's been cooking for maybe one year and not that good at it and the waitress messed up two of our orders and was slow with getting everything including our drinks which were extremely simple to do and she only had one maybe two other customers in there! she was nice but definitely needs training on how to be efficient and waitressing! other than the service the food was good but the place was pretty clean and it was pretty empty on a Sunday afternoon which I thought was weird but if they serve food like this one played at a time throughout like 20 minute time frame or so that would probably be the reason why they were empty! I probably would go and just do take out just because of food was good.”

“The breakfast here was delicious and I had spectacular service from my waitress named Jill. She made my family feel comfortable. Everything came out quickly after we ordered, which I really appreciated. The food was fresh and came to the table nice and hot. Thank you IHOP for a great family breakfast experience!”

“Our server was very nice but don’t get the eggs Benedict. The eggs come hard boiled. I asked the server if they were supposed to be like that and she said she didn’t know but offered to have them recooked. I declined and just didn’t eat them. They didn’t take them off the bill, but I didn’t ask them to, so that would fall back on me I suppose. Any other time I’ve gone the food has been just fine ?”

“Good for that late night quick stop.Ordered online. The bread was wrong. And they added onion and bell peppers witch I didn’t want at all. Because I’m allergic to bell pepper!! They just need to make sure they’re getting the orders correct. Other than that every other time before great job.”

“I love coming to this location there are so amazing the staff it’s so friendly, professional and I been coming here for years already they know me so well they know what I’m going to order. The food it’s so good the donuts ? I love trying new everything time. 100% recommend”

“My family and I stopped by today. We're on a family vacation. All I can say is this is by far the best service I have EVER had from any fast food restaurant. They seriously went above and beyond to put a smile on my kids face... even when they didn't have to. A+++++++”

“This is my go to for healthy & delicious! Every single person there is so helpful and caring! Love this place!”

“The Brew Hub is a great place to try a variety of different types of beers since they brew many of the beers for local restaurants. It has a relaxed atmosphere with seating inside and out. The bartenders are very knowledgeable and will help you identify a brew you will enjoy. They do not serve food, but you may purchase snacks such as a bag of gourmet pretzels. There is a green space outside. They host food trucks and various events.”

“Adorable coffee spot! We’re from New England and can be picky about our coffee and bagels. The coffee was incredible, and the cheddar bagel was to die for!”

“We recently payed A visit to low and slow and we were very surprised by the food. We ordered the tomahawk steak and I was skeptic because I’ve had some bad experiences with other restaurants cooking my steak incorrectly so I mentioned it to our server Summer, she she quickly consoled me that the steak would be cooked to perfection and what do you know, it was A perfect medium rare just as I ordered it. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is looking for great food and A nice clean environment! Last but not least our server Summer was very polite, very attentive and A master at her craft 10 out of 10 service. We will definitely be going back to try something different on the menu.”
