“Kaitlyn with a “K” was above average in customer service, she was an experience. I told Kaitlyn is was my deceased father’s birthday and he loved Fred’s! Not only did she express empathy she asked what was his drink order and bought it to the table . It’s those small gestures that leaves a big imprint on one’s heart ! YOU ROCK GIRLFRIEND ❣️“

“We finally tried this restaurant today. Highly recommend! The lunch buffet on Sat and Sun does not disappoint. Beautiful setting, amazing staff and on point Indian food. Please give it a try!“

“Went for lunch around 2 pm wasn't too busy , service and waitress was great, food was tasty. Ordered the Chicken egg rolls very delicious, then got their coleslaw and Philly Cheese Steak sandwich very good and great flavor they have nice desserts. I got a season flavor mini cup of Pumpkin Mousse. You could take kids but make sure they have something to occupy them. They have a bar area and a room if you have a special thing , definitely planning on going back to try a few other dishes I seen people ordered. Great for a special occasion or date night“

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!“

“Very delicious cheese burger, my favorite ale and my beautiful bride in my company. Wonderful time and great atmosphere at Miller’s Ale House in Lakeland!“

“It is our favorite sushi place in town by far (and we have a lot of sushi places here)! Fish is always fresh, rolls are creative and delicious, the restaurant is clean, and the service is great. Honestly, this restaurant is in my top 5 Lakeland restaurants. I've had foodie friends from NYC visit and thoroughly enjoy their meals here. My 14-year-old daughter has been obsessed with this place since I introduced her to the Out of Control Roll (my go-to). I highly recommend it.“

“Food is great. Owners are amazing. Brooke & Erin are great servers. Lane throws down in the kitchen. Love their food, atmosphere, and the overall great feel.“

“My husband and I found this on a whim, and not disappointed. We will be back again!
He said it’s the best BLT he’s ever eaten, my burrata sandwich left me satisfied.

We have pastries as well, A little sad they were not warm when we got them, so saving those to warm them up for later.“

“Food is great! Nevaeh was our server and was fantastic. all the people there are friendly and very professional!“

“Lunch was great! Javymar was a great waitress“

“Delicious food, clean and nice atmosphere, and good service“

“Was in town watching dogs for someone, and saw that this place A) exists and B) has cheesesteaks. I will try a cheesesteak anywhere, even if gunfire is happening around me. Thankfully, this restaurant is in a no fire zone. But for this sandwich, it would be worth the risk and the added expense of kevlar. I kid you not, their “Awesome Philly Sub” is that and more. I can’t remember eating a better cheesesteak in 2 decades, and I’ve most certainly tried. Two thumbs up isn’t quite enough… I’ll have to borrow some extra thumbs from my enemies to add to the score. Highly recommended! And I’m a cheesesteak snob… they conquered my appetite and I’ll most definitely be back when I’m out this way again. If you live in Lakeland and love sandwiches and HAVEN’T TRIED THIS PLACE, you are missing out and are making a bald eagle cry. I can’t prove that second one, but it sounds legit.“

“Best Pizza Place in Lakeland. This delicious one is “The Magic Mushroom “. I highly recommend - great food, good family.“

“Haven’t been back since before 2020 when the bar was packed and the service was amazing! Let me tell you Austin is the best! Felt like the service back in the day. Yes it is about the food and drinks but at the end of the day it’s about the service and that is where it’s at. Austin thank you so much! Also they are bringing back happy hour! Go check it out! Food amazing drinks amazing service amazing“

“Had a lovely late lunch today. Our waitress, MacKenzie, was great! The beef and ginger potstickers were delicious! Loved the lemon drop martini and the parmesean crusted rainbow trout wonderful. I especially was happy to see the broccoli florets cooked soft enough and yet not mushy. My husband loved his blackened salmon. We will be back!“

“I recently got cured from Herpes 1&2 with a herbal product i order from Dr MOMOH on Facebook page he has the best solution to any disease. Visit his page for more info“

“Best Italian on North Side and great service also“

“I have never ever received piping hot pancakes from anywhere until today. They were absolutely delicious!“

“Stopped in for an early dinner and was pleasantly surprised. Our dinners were very good! We had Eggplant Rollatini and spaghetti and meatballs which we enjoyed. Soup was pasta fagoli which was also good. Calamari was slightly bland but the house wines were very good. Portions were generous. Decor was very nicely done with Italian decor. Service was good.“

“we had chosen off the lunch menu.I had the sushi bento box. Dee's choice was chicken and vegetables tempura. we both enjoyed our lunch, the service was excellent, a good value you took some leftovers home. we will be going there again for sure. bon appetit!“

“Palace Southside in Lakeland is an absolute gem for Italian food lovers! The Chicken Marsala was tender and flavorful with its rich mushroom sauce, the Rigatoni Bolognese tasted like it came straight out of an Italian kitchen, and the fresh salad and crispy bread were the perfect starters. The Toscana wine paired beautifully with our meal, and finishing off with their creamy tiramisu was the highlight of our evening. The cozy atmosphere and attentive staff made us feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for authentic Italian cuisine and an unforgettable dining experience!“

“Just left. 1/17/2025. Food is excellent but….service tonight was horrible. Never refilled water glasses, my husband got the burrito and asked for some queso to put over it. The girl brought him shredded cheese! Gave us a container for the guacamole and the wrong lid. In between each request we wondered if our waitress was coming back. Finally brought the bill and once again never came back. We finally took the bill to the front to pay. I love their food but when the service is bad it ruins everything 👎“

“friendly staff great food“

“We have came here multiple times. Food is always hot and fresh! Bone in chicken with waffles with strawberry butter has been pur favorite but we been trying other things to. The food is always a massive amount pf food for the price you pay. Its pretty messy food sometimes but so worth it! And the server in the mornings is amazing! She has multiple peoples orders memorized. Takes time to talk and tell you about the new food items. She actually pays attention to everything including when drinks are low or even watered down! Its a great atmosphere with amazing food!“

“I had a late Dr. appointment yesterday so I was going to pick up a few little Cesar pizzas, my daughter suggested Romeo’s stuffed pizza. So we thought “why not we were going to have cardboard for dinner anyway, how bad can it be……….. where have you been all of my life?!?!?! Ok that’s a little dramatic, but I have been in Florida for 20 years (originally from Detroit suburbs ) and I have not found REAL pizza since I arrived! That pizza was soooooo good! You brought me back to my days working in the Italian bakery back home!!!! The staff- the food- hell even your customers were amazing! I will definitely be back for the cannoli!!!!“

“Our waitress Destiny was AMAZING! Best service I have had anywhere in a LONG time. We had a large party. She was quick, kind and all our items were exactly as ordered. Thank you Destiny, for making our "mini family reunion" that much better.“

“the bbq was the best I have had in a very long time..and I love the Bubbaques Moonshine spicy vinegar sauce..“
