We booked the simulator back room for our son’s 21 birthday. The food, cocktails and service were excellent. The simulator was a lot of fun and the prices were very reasonable. Definitely coming back again soon!
A few of us hosted a 50th birthday party here on 4/10/24. I wouldn’t recommend this venue for parties. Half the food came out hour and half after the party started. The second half came out approximately 30 mins before the party ended. We requested our own personal bartender. That didn’t happen. Our server (poor girl tried her best to accommodate us) was not dedicated to the party. She took orders, then picked up the drinks from the only bartender working at the front while serving tables in the main lobby. We even stopped the manager on duty to inquire about this issue and she brushed it off that we didn’t request one (even though we have emails proving we did) and due to short staff she wouldn’t be able to dedicate a bartender just for us (again, don’t offer a service if you can’t fulfill it). We also requested days prior to the party to begin decorating the room an hour before the party started so it was finished when the birthday guest arrived. They booked a party right before ours and did not tell us. We found out when we showed up an hour early to decorate. We made the best of it but this venue didn’t live up to its offered services. Hopefully they work on their issues. It has great potential!!
As newbies to Lakeland, we’ve quickly found the Back Nine to be one of our favorite local spots in the heart of downtown LKLD. Owner’s Ethan & Jenna are always so warm & welcoming. The Back Nine has a great menu (Cuban Egg Rolls rock), great service (Sarah is awesome), great brunch…with bottomless options, a state-of-the-art golf simulator for those who like to play & offer some great weekly specials. Highly recommended!

It’s a great restaurant in Lakeland. It’s well priced and offer a simple but delicious menu. I came in with my family for brunch and some drinks. Nothing disappointed and the server was amazing. Check it out if your I the area.Some of the mimosa maybe a bit sweet but make sure you ask your server before ordering. Overall I would recommend for a quick meal with the family/friends

This place is really good! The wings are bomb and the service was great! Dawn was our server and she was amazing! She constantly checked on us with drinks, food, etc. very lovely place with good vibes and chill environments.
We stopped here for lunch after a long flight delay and was amazed with the outstanding service with Sara. In walks Kevin in the mix and we had even more fun! The next day we come back for dinner Kevin was our server and what a great experience and the food was top notch. We stopped back 2 more times and interacted with Aubrey and our server Hannah. We can not express what a tremendous place this is. In town for 5 days and stopped her 4 times. Kudos to the owner. 5 thumps up!!!

Had a great birthday bar crawl weekend in Lakeland and ended the night at Back Nine! Great wings, nachos, service and THE BEST OLD FASHION IN LAKELAND! Highly recommend!
The wait for 3 meals was an hour. I assume we came in right after the large party next to us ordered, so they were probably swamped.The lower review is really because we were surprised that each soda refill was charged. Something that should have been mentioned up front given that this is not typical for restaurants.

Totally enjoyed my first visit! The food—wings, nachos and Caesar salad were fantastic! The drinks—old fashions and margaritas were delicious! The service and atmosphere were amazing! Our server did a great job! He was quick, attentive and knowledgeable! Jenna, one of the owners, was so friendly and welcoming too! Prices were great too!Parking: We’ve never had a problem finding parking in the area.Kid-friendliness: There were kids there and they were enjoying themselves!

Had the smokehouse burger. It was the BEST burger I've ever had (and I am 60 years old!)
