The Cuban egg rolls look and taste like something my 6yr old could make. The service was fine, but I'd probably never to back for the food.

Loved it here, but I had to depart from the crew. I will honestly miss being here. But overall as I've seen it's the best place I've been so far. Ethan cares for his staff which I've never been used too in a restaurant environment. I'll miss y'all .

Awesome space they have with a modern but rustic feel. Service was very attentive and friendly. Then came the bad part. Price for quality and quantity. $7 for a 12oz can of beer. Cuban egg rolls were ok as appetizers. I got a burger and upgraded to truffle parm fries. My wife got a little skirt steak and fries. I asked for no bacon but still bacon and the fries... cold looked like every frozen variety mixed together with half a jug of Kraft parm cheese dumped on. Definitely not worth uncharge of $2.00. Same with my wifes small piece of skirt steak.$18.00 burger cold fries, $28.00 tiny steak with cold fries.

Had my sons graduation dinner here last night! Rented both simulators and had 16 people! Super fun environment. Great service, yummy food. 5 stars all around!!

We're so lucky we found this gem. Great food, casual vibe, fun cocktails. We came for a late lunch and my sons enjoyed the simulator with games in the back. Our server was top notch! It was the perfect place for our lunch today.

Absolutely our favorite place for dinner. We are in there weekly because of the great service and the food taste amazing. Sara the server is the reason we started coming in weekly. Her energy and effort is par none

I called ahead and placed a reservation for one of their game simulators but upon arrival they said there was no reservation under my name. Thankfully it was quickly resolved and their miscommunication didn’t affect the rest of the experience. Staff was very friendly, food came out on time and fresh!

Iv Visited here 4 times now for drinks and appetizers. Their expresso martini is one of my favorites just recently had the salted caramel one just as good sangria has extra flavor then iv had at most places . Philly cheese dip, nachos always hot and good. Staff is very friendly attentive and knowledgeable which makes for an even better experience. Can’t wait to visit again one of my favorite spots now.

I really enjoy The Back Nine! My husband and I have come on several occasions, and have brought friends and family who also love this place. The food is fantastic, ESPECIALLY the Cuban Egg Rolls & the Churrasco & the drinks are even better! Their Monday happy hour is the way to go for a weekday break but their weekend brunch is a MUST! Ask for Jenna, she’s AMAZING!
Cailee was amazing! Beat service and very attentive! 10/10!!

After going to the Punk Flea Market my son and I decided to grab food before heading home. I looked to see what was available in the local area, Lakeland, and decided for The Back Nibe based off Google reviews. Well, I can say once again, Google got it absolutely wrong. Upon placing my order I went directly to their website to do so. I selected the menu option from the drop down which then gave me the opportunity to select whether the order is for pick up or delivery that they partnered withDoorDash for their delivery services. Either way, pickup or take out orders are placed thru the DoorDash site. Once I placed my order @1546 p.m. I immediately received a text @1547 motifying me that my had been placed and that i would receive a pick up time soon. After 20 minutes had passed i called the restaurant to get an estimated time for my pickup since I had not received any notifications. I was then told it would be another 26 minutes. At this time I was never told that one of the meals we ordered was sold out. After another 38 minutes had passed i had ro call the restaurant again to get a status of my order. It was then that I was told they were out of chicken strips for my son. That they had tried to call me but that the call went to VM and stated that the VM hadn't been set up. I then checked DD to make sure my number was correct for which it was and I had no missed calls or VM so I'm not sure who they called or what happened there. I then had to place a separate order to replace the chicken strips. I was told it would be another @8 minutes for fish and fries. My son and I headed that way after arriving to the restaurant it was a total of another 18 minutes making it a total of 78 minutes for a to go order when they only had, what looked like 3 parties at the bar and one party at a table. We ordered the cuban egg rolls, fish and fries (they were out of the chicken tenders from the initial order) and pasta Alfredo with grilled chicken. The fish and fries were a decent portion, the fish was very bland and not chrispy at all and the fries were soggy and of different shapes like mixing steak fries with crinkle cut fries ? the Alfredo while an ok portion was extremely bland and dry. The only thing that had a little flavor was the broccoli because no matter how you cook broccoli it always has a broccoli taste. The Cuban pork rolls were the best of the 3 items ordered but even they were soggy and not crispy. I had to reheat them in the toaster oven to chrispen them up. When I called once I was home and was able to taste the food,on top of the time it took to get the food and lack of communication all around the manager kept trying to justify that they dis attempt to contact me regarding the item they were out of rather than the food being awful as well. I could have gotten better food from the frozen section at Dollar Tree. As a manganese she should have been apologizing and staying something in regards that the restaurant has a high Googlenrating and that she apologies I had a bad experience, let me make it right, if you'll give us another chance I'll give you $10 off my next visit or a free desert, something, even just an apology but it was about excuses. I will not return to a place who doesn't take accountability for anything, especially with the cost of things today. It's too costly for subpar service or goods.

I took my grandsons and daughter to try a new restaurant. We were all pleasantly surprised by the variety and quality of the food. One of the boys can be a very picky eater but he loved the wings and the fried cheese sticks and marinara sauce. I had the Bourbon Mahi on rice with Broccoli… the sauce was very good. My other GS picked the large platter with Cuban rolls and pretzel bread… those were a hit ( he tried the mushrooms but was not liking those…but hey at least he tried it…I found them tasty ?) My daughter ordered the adult Mac n cheese… she loved it! The desserts were awesome… the Butter Cream Cake with Ice Cream is to die for… oh man…you might need to wear your stretch pants! lol
Kid-friendliness: Definitely kid friendly! However, it is also a nice place for adults… after the kiddos go home to bed ?
