“GrillSmith Lakeland is my family's go-to brunch spot! I'm always torn between the salmon bruschetta and the filet egg rolls - yum! My family always, always, ALWAYS requests Gabi. She has great suggestions and is always patient with my family's somewhat obnoxious style of ordering food. 5 Stars!“

“Out-of-towner happy to have landed at Zest for a late, Sunday afternoon lunch on a day trip to tour Bartow's interesting Wonder House, with quick, unplanned visits to the L.B. Brown House Museum and the Bartow History Center. Located on a side street a couple of blocks from the old town square Zest has a quiet, unassuming appearance with off-street parking and an outside, covered dining patio. Inside seating includes booths, tables and the bar in a large, high-ceilinged, sort of dimly lit dining area with a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Our server Regan, (I think was her name) was efficient, and attentive and just right friendly. Our food - we both had fish and chips with cole slaw - was excellent - the slaw was good - chunky cut with vinegar-based dressing rather than mayo-based, medium cut fries and the fish were very good - tender and crisp (the fish lightly battered). Definitely would be a repeat customer if I was a local. Planning to return to Bartow for a scheduled tour of the L.B. Brown House and to explore more of the History Center and it will be hard to decide whether to try a different restaurant or to return here where we really enjoyed the service, the meal and the space.“

“Service was great. We love Nugget! And food was hot and delicious.😘“

“Having eaten in this restaurant multiple times over the years I quite honestly can say that Eric has done an amazing job with the restaurant, food, and waitresses. They are pleasant and professional with one waitress truly making people smile. She is a consummate mom to her little man Xander and one of the main reasons why I eat there.“

“To Orlando and stopped here for dinner. It was a pleasant surprise. Great outdoor space with a live musician. The staff was wonderful. The burger was exceptional. Choice of wines a lot of beers. Definitely recommend coming here.“

“Food is awesome, Ruby is by far the best personality In the building. Service is good from all the servers, but Ruby and that smile and bubbly disposition is enough to turn a bad day into a better day!! The menu.....you can't go wrong. Everything is delicious and made to order. Hands down the best.“

“The buffet style restaurant was nice. It was very busy. The selection of food was good I loved the dessert bar the most. Haha.... there was 1 rude worker that ran my foot over with the dish cart but I was hungry and didnt speak up so my fault for not but they should habe noticed the big lump in the floor and apologized. I would still go back.“

“Excellent food served up in a timely manner. A terrific local hidden gem!!“

“What a great find in south Lakeland! I had the tenderloin and my friend had a burger. We could tell both were made in-house, not frozen and thrown in the fryer or on the grill. Delicious!“

“I just wanted something quick and yummy that wasn’t a ton of unhealthy calories. I ordered their supergreen wrap with the fire braised chicken thigh 👌🏻. First of all. The thing was massive. I opened it and was like my goodness. 😋. It was so delicious. I about downed the whole thing. 😅 Also, when I went to pick it up, they were super friendly. My food was ready to go and neatly package. I’ll definitely be back again for lunch soon.“
