Scarpa's Italian Restaurant
1833 E Edgewood Dr, LakelandWe were told that when visiting Lakeland, this is a top restaurant. The food and service where amazing, Christina really knows her wine, and I would recommend going with her suggestions. The only reason that I didn't rate it 5 star on atmosphere is because it is in a strip plaza and it just appears to need a little something more for ambience. Regardless, we will make reservations anytime that we are visiting Lakeland and definitely request Christina.

215 E Main St, LakelandI really enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere of this restaurant!If you haven’t been to this restaurant before they will give you a complimentary glass of champagne, which not many restaurants will do. We wanted to try it all, therefore we ordered 3 appetizers: the calamari (the best calamari I have ever had in any restaurant. It comes with a jalapeño/caramel sauce and it’s absolutely delicious! We had the ceviche peruano, it was fantastic and you can order it either with plantains or crackers. We order the plantains (we had an extra $5 charge for the plantains - not sure if they charge extra with the crackers) we also ordered the scallops, they add cheese on the scallops which make it extra delicious!My bf ordered the wagyu ravioli. Really delicious but my bf and I agreed that it would be better without the sauce: the sauce it’s a bit sweet. It’s a white truffle sauce, I would say the sauce it’s a bit too loud and the raviolis are absolutely exquisite and we thought it didn’t need the sauce. Lastly, I ordered the rack of lamb and it was really tender. Service was excellent. 10 out of 10!We will keep coming back. We spent $200 but we ordered a lot of things and it was absolutely worth it!

Krunchy krab seafood & wings restaurant
1142 Texas Ave, LakelandI got lunch from Krunchy Krab to finish off my birthday month, and it was an absolute treat! We enjoyed mussels, shrimp, lobster, potatoes and corn. There was so much food that we had to leave the crab legs for another meal! The sauce was very flavorful, with enough spice to give the heat, but not too much to make your mouth burn. All of the food was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend you visit and enjoy some seafood for yourself!

HTeaO - Lakeland
3920 Florida Ave S, LakelandBest place ever to be created!! My wife loves the Sweet Mint Tea and my favorite is the Sweet Blueberry Greens. When we lived in Lakeland we went almost every day and got tea, but since we have moved about 45 minutes away, we sometimes will make a special just to get some. Most of the staff is always very friendly, however, there is one young lady that sometimes works the register that seems like she never wants to be there. Hopefully she's not working if you take a first trip. Other than that, absolutely great place!!

Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille
101 N Kentucky Ave, LakelandFirst time going to this establishment, it was very busy. We were seated faster than the time given which was great. The atmosphere was pleasant. Started out with dip the cheese on top was burnt after stirring it up and took off some of the burnt cheese it was tasty, weren't expecting actual bread to go along with the dip. The crab cakes were delicious and the mahi too. I asked for mashed potatoes as an extra side which I never got. The server who brought out our food I mentioned it to her, never got it. I'm not sure if it was because they were busy or the actual server we had, had too many tables we didn't get the premier service I was expecting based on others review.

879 Lakeland Park Center Dr, LakelandMy husband and I came here last night for supper. We had been up real early fishing and I didn't really feel like cooking.

Well you guy's again did not disappoint me. I would give anything if you would open one in Bartow. When we go out to eat we always have to fight traffic or drive 30 minutes to an hour to get decent food. Oh we have plenty of restaurants in Bartow but NONE worth wasting your money on. Either the food is good and everything else is bad or the food is bad and everything else is good. I want to know that when I go out to eat and we are spending 40-50 dollars maybe more that every time is a great time and that's what we get from your place.The burger pictured below is The FORD'S SIGNATURE.

Decisions Grill & Bar
1621 E Edgewood Dr G, LakelandI waited entirely too long to try this place. Granted, the idea was for my older brother to introduce me to their wings for the first time, but I just couldn't wait any longer. First, I was determined to hold off on the wings for a game day with the eldest, so Mom was my dining partner and we split their Potato Bites. They're not skins and they're not fries. They're random shapes actually seems to help catch the cheese and bacon better than fries without all the good stuff just sticking to the top. Served with sour cream, you can also order any of their sauces for dipping.Though I am admittedly a Ranch lover, any Ranch lover will tell you that not all are created equal and Decisions definitely serves up the kind we all prefer. Side bar, I had my Mom try a taste and she was actually looking forward to the next visit so she could order a salad... just to have the Ranch dressing on it. She's not a Ranch on pizza kind of gal, which is what she ordered and it was delicious without any need for dipping. But I am a dipper and I like sauce, so my Grilled Ham and Cheese got the treatment from everything we had in front of us. Our follow up visit with their Burger and Fried Chicken Sandwich, tossed in Hot Buffalo sauce was another welcome choice. Not a bite survived. The Salad, with Ranch for Mom, another Cheese Pizza, Wings, Fries and everything that comes with let you know why Decisions Bar & Grill is a staple of local eating for Lakelanders.While the menu is not small, they don't sacrifice quality. It's "bar food" done right; no nonsense and straight forward. It definitely reminds you of your OLD favorite place before they started going down the drain. This place hasn't lost a step.Vegetarian options: Their vegetarian options dominate the Appetizer menu. You find the usual suspects like regular Cheese Fries, Jalapeno Poppers and Mozzarella sticks, but you also find some creative standouts, like those Mozzarella Sticks tossed in Buffalo Sauce and Fried Mac and Cheese, with Corn Nuggets, Fried Pickles and Mushroom Bottle Caps rounding out some of your Southern classics.

Despite the situation, the service was remarkably prompt and attentive. Our waitress consistently checked on us, offering refills and ensuring our needs were being met.I was impressed that despite the challenges, our food arrived hot and everything was delicious. The flavors were on point, and the quality was exceptional.Additionally, we asked if we could have a booth and even though we were told there wasn’t one available at the moment, the hostess was able to accommodate us, which added to the overall comfort of our dining experience. Longhorn Restaurant continues to exceed expectations and never disappoints. Their dedication to providing great service and maintaining food quality, even under challenging circumstances, is truly commendable. Much better than the experience we received at Bob Evans just a little before arriving. We will continue to visit this location in the future!

Best Restaurants

Scarpa's Italian Restaurant
1833 E Edgewood Dr, LakelandWe were told that when visiting Lakeland, this is a top restaurant. The food and service where amazing, Christina really knows her wine, and I would recommend going with her suggestions. The only reason that I didn't rate it 5 star on atmosphere is because it is in a strip plaza and it just appears to need a little something more for ambience. Regardless, we will make reservations anytime that we are visiting Lakeland and definitely request Christina.

215 E Main St, LakelandI really enjoyed the food, the service and the atmosphere of this restaurant!If you haven’t been to this restaurant before they will give you a complimentary glass of champagne, which not many restaurants will do. We wanted to try it all, therefore we ordered 3 appetizers: the calamari (the best calamari I have ever had in any restaurant. It comes with a jalapeño/caramel sauce and it’s absolutely delicious! We had the ceviche peruano, it was fantastic and you can order it either with plantains or crackers. We order the plantains (we had an extra $5 charge for the plantains - not sure if they charge extra with the crackers) we also ordered the scallops, they add cheese on the scallops which make it extra delicious!My bf ordered the wagyu ravioli. Really delicious but my bf and I agreed that it would be better without the sauce: the sauce it’s a bit sweet. It’s a white truffle sauce, I would say the sauce it’s a bit too loud and the raviolis are absolutely exquisite and we thought it didn’t need the sauce. Lastly, I ordered the rack of lamb and it was really tender. Service was excellent. 10 out of 10!We will keep coming back. We spent $200 but we ordered a lot of things and it was absolutely worth it!

Krunchy krab seafood & wings restaurant
1142 Texas Ave, LakelandI got lunch from Krunchy Krab to finish off my birthday month, and it was an absolute treat! We enjoyed mussels, shrimp, lobster, potatoes and corn. There was so much food that we had to leave the crab legs for another meal! The sauce was very flavorful, with enough spice to give the heat, but not too much to make your mouth burn. All of the food was cooked to perfection. I highly recommend you visit and enjoy some seafood for yourself!

Cafe Zuppina
4417 Florida Ave S, LakelandGreat food, great service. Wished we would have known about this place sooner. It is a bit pricey. The restaurant is in a store and it is ok, but somewhat underwhelming. It reminded me of an old rental dance hall with the chandeliers and walls and tile flooring. They have food and spices to take home as well as a full dessert case.

Harry's Seafood Bar & Grille
101 N Kentucky Ave, LakelandFirst time going to this establishment, it was very busy. We were seated faster than the time given which was great. The atmosphere was pleasant. Started out with dip the cheese on top was burnt after stirring it up and took off some of the burnt cheese it was tasty, weren't expecting actual bread to go along with the dip. The crab cakes were delicious and the mahi too. I asked for mashed potatoes as an extra side which I never got. The server who brought out our food I mentioned it to her, never got it. I'm not sure if it was because they were busy or the actual server we had, had too many tables we didn't get the premier service I was expecting based on others review.

716 Burgers & Brew
2905 Duff Rd, LakelandMy husband is a huge Bills fan, so we drove an hour to check this place out. It did not disappoint! The whole sandwiches were huge and delicious. My husband cannot stop raving about the Philly with queso. It is more of a bar scene, but we brought our children and they gave them coloring books with crayons and they have a children’s menu. Everything is priced well and the staff is very inviting. Cannot wait to go again and try some wings!P.S. I’m a Jets fan and I can’t wait to go back ?

Ling's Buffet
4320 Florida Ave S, LakelandI had the chance to dine at Ling's Buffet recently, and it was a treat. The variety? Spot on. There's a little something for everyone. Everything tasted fresh, and the place was super clean - which, trust me, is a breath of fresh air when it comes to buffets. Plus, the prices won't make your wallet weep. If you're looking for a place with great Chinese flavors, good vibes, and solid value, give Ling's Buffet a shot. I'm definitely heading back soon!

Swan Brewing
115 W Pine St, LakelandStopped in here to grab a pint with the family on our way home. It had a cool vibe and the two beers we tried were really good. I got the Downtown (Hazelnut) Brown and it was one of the best brown ales I’ve had in a long time. Perfectly malty and nutty. My wife got the Straight Outta Lakeland IPA because we always have to try the standard IPA on the menu the first time you visit. It was a good beer. We wanted to try more beers but they were pretty busy and we had to move on before we caught traffic but we will definitely be back!Cheers!

They prepare the food quickly, but it’s always so good! The inside is very cozy and cool. Highly recommend the sushi, as I’ve never had a bad roll from here. When you order through GrubHub with an order over $30, they give you a free “Eddie Roll”, which is krab tempura with eel sauce and yum yum sauce. It is to die for!! Love this place and honestly, I could eat it every day!!

A & B Restaurant
1520 S Combee Rd, LakelandAfter a long week my hubby and I decided to go out for breakfast.As I caught his eye, we both simultaneously said "You want A&B?". We laughed and I shook my head yes.The grits taste like my Grandmother used to make so I am always happy to go here. They also have a broad range of daily specials that are super tasty and their homemade soups are to die for.This is a fine example of a standard Southern Mom & Pop Restaurant that closes mid afternoon.The only thing they don't have that I wish they did is a larger variety of freshly made veggies like greens or peas. They have green beans and other standard sides like fries, mashed potatoes, salad, etc.This has become one of our favorites and I hope it will become yours as well.
