“Paris is one of the best serves bar vasco has ever had we came for happy hour and he made the experience and then we CAME BACK and he remembered us by name and our drink orders and truly is the reason we even wanted to come back. 1961 please keep him or make him manager— no better service that that.“

“Today went there, pretty busy on a hot day! After waiting an hour was seated and the waitress that was assigned just came into work and wasn’t in the best of spirits! But by request thanks to Aubrey who had to take over our table and Jake who just stepped in they were overly welcoming and accommodating! What started out as a bad experience came out to be such a wonderful experience 10/10 would recommend!“

“Wow hidden gem remember I’m telling you first they are priding themselves on fresh top tier food and they have a full bar I tried it once then again thinking the the consistency might be an issue but ohh no they kill it every time highly recommended!!!!!!!“

“Had the pleasure of experiencing The Peach House for my birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint!! Great well thought out smaller menu, but covered all bases!! Cocktails were exceptionally good, Appetizers were amazing, Main course was Delicious, Steak frites are the best in Lakeland by far, and Jambalaya was the perfect mixture to keep you wanting just one more bite. We shared the Brûlée Key Lime Pie with house made whipped cream and it was better than I’ve had in Key West!! 10 out of 10 on my list, atmosphere is pleasantly decorated for the holiday season, book you family gathering or work gathering in this incredible little spot before everyone knows!!“

“AMAZING food and atmosphere!! Owners are just as amazing! Will be back and recommend to everyone.“

“I have been coming to The Joinery about 4 years now. The pizza, chicken tenders, fries, and ice cream are the best! I'd highly recommend The Joinery to anyone living in Lakeland, or vacationing and visiting in Lakeland! The food hall is super nice and the atmosphere and ambience is super pleasant! Go give The Joinery a try! The many options of food will not disappoint!“

“The staff at this establishment was incredibly attentive, making every guest feel valued. The ambiance has undoubtedly transformed into something upscale, giving the impression that we had stepped far beyond the charming confines of little ole Lakeland. LJ, the manager, was exceptionally friendly and genuinely invested in our experience, frequently checking in to ensure that everything was perfect. If you're seeking a place to enjoy a high-quality drink, you absolutely must give this venue a try; their old-fashioned cocktail may very well be the finest in all of Lakeland!“

“While we love the depot for atmosphere and the food. We were shocked at the prices at many of the restaurants and especially the bar. The prices were higher than we would pay at a higher end restaurant 🥲“
