Tea Rx 3114 FL-37, Lakeland Coffee Shops • $

“It's always a pleasure going here. Staff (I'm pretty sure she's the owner) is always welcoming, friendly, and helpful.
We've had several things off the menu, but I keep coming back to the banh mi saigon. It's my favorite.
It was delicious as usual on this visit.

Gray opted for a banh mi as well and said it was tasty also.

We've had the spring rolls and the summer rolls -- the spring rolls are always hot and crispy. The summer rolls are always fresh and nicely chilled. We decided to try the onion rings. While not our favorite style of onion rings, they arrived at the table hot and crispy.

We also get boba just about every time we come. Always a treat.
The sweetness and ice level can be adjusted to your liking - they're always happy to accommodate.”

“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 had an excellent dining experience at LongHorn Steakhouse, thanks to our waiter, James. From the moment we sat down, he was incredibly attentive, friendly, and professional. He took the time to make great recommendations, ensured our drinks were always full, and made sure everything came out perfectly.

James truly went above and beyond to make our meal enjoyable, checking in just the right amount without being intrusive. His positive attitude and attention to detail made a big difference. It’s clear he takes pride in his work, and his service made our visit exceptional.

If you’re dining at LongHorn, I highly recommend asking for James—you won’t be disappointed! We’ll definitely be back thanks to the outstanding service.”

“I grew up on Cassano’s Pizza in Dayton, OH. We moved away when I was 14 and I’ve missed that delicious pizza ever since. Recently, someone mentioned that someone who had worked at Cassano’s had relocated to Lakeland, FL decades ago and opened J Burns Pizza Shop offering the same crispy thin crust pizza topped with provolone cheese. Our family made the drive from Kissimmee to Lakeland and are so glad we did! The pizza was incredible. Reminded me so much of the pizza back home in Dayton. We will be back often!”

The service was great, and the staff were friendly. The food was amazing! The reason I rated it a 4 instead of 5 is because of the way the food was packaged. 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. Then I had to cut all the bags open & pour & squeeze the food out. It took a little more time & effort than I thought it would, but everyone enjoyed the food.”

I knew this was going to be good from the smell of the food alone! I ordered "The Skillet" which was a seafood rice packed with shrimp, grouper nuggets, crab meat, and sausage, with some kind of delicious sauce on top! It kinda gave me a New Orleans vibe with the flavor profile and the sauce that was on top. OMG it was AMAZING! It was a large portion too. I ate some for lunch, nibbled it a bit at dinner, and took the remainder to work for lunch the next day. My coworkers were jealous of the smell of my lunch! I would definitely order from them again!”
