Mediterranean Fresh Grill Across From Legoland In Publix Shopping Ctr, 6035 Cypress Gardens Blvd, Winter Haven Lebanese • $$

“I made reservations for my family since it suggested it on their website. My husband ,3 sons and I arrived and the hostess brought us to a table that was waiting for us! That was a pleasant and appreciated surprise to not have to wait. Our server,Jordyn was attentive and friendly she had perfect timing with drinks appetizers , main courses and desserts. We ordered 3 appetizers for the table and 5 different meals as well as two desserts for us each to have a sample of. Everything was not only full of flavor and perfectly prepared but also absolutely beautifully plated. We had a pleasant conversation with the owner ,Cindy, and she answered our questions about some of the flavors that we couldn’t quite place. We also discussed the history of the restaurant. It’s nice to see owners/managers in the dining area. We will come again soon and recommend this establishment to our friends and family. Thank You all”

Harry's Old Place 3751 Cypress Gardens Rd, Winter Haven Seafood • $$

“I visited Harry’s Old Place in Winter Haven tonight for the very first time. It is a very cute and welcoming place. I was greeted and seated right away. My waitress, Taylor was so friendly and knowledgeable. I ordered a filet and asked it to be topped with crab. When it came out it was not as expected, undercooked- I asked for medium rare but it was very rare and the topping was cold. I hesitated to say anything but Taylor noticed and immediately asked what she could do to make it right. She ended up recommending mahi with a garlic sauce topping which was delicious! The GM Cody came over and was just as kind. I will for sure be back and appreciate them for not making me feel bad (or worse) for returning the first dish. Thank you Taylor for being awesome!”

Nutwood 132 Ave B SW, Winter Haven American • $$

“Listen, I’m not saying I’m obsessed, but second visit and I’m already planning my third. Nutwood in Lakeland just keeps delivering flavor punches straight to the taste buds like a cheerful boxer who really likes you. The Spanish octopus? Holy tentacle takeover. Tender, perfectly charred, I wanted to propose marriage to it right there at the table. It’s the kind of dish that makes you whisper “I’m not worthy” between bites while your dinner companion side-eye you. 11/10, would let it ruin all other octopus for me. And then… oh sweet green heaven… the Green Eggs and Ham. I’d never thought I’d say this in a grown-up restaurant, but Dr. Seuss himself would’ve dropped his hat and applauded: I would eat them here or there, I would eat them anywhere! I would eat them in a boat, I would eat them with a goat! I would eat them in Winterhaven town, Especially when Nutwood lays that green sauce DOWN! Say! I will eat them with a spoon, I will eat them morning, night, and noon! I do so like green eggs and ham! Thank you, thank you, Nutwood, ma’am! It’s not just clever plating — it’s a flavor bomb disguised as whimsy. Bright, herbaceous, pesto, rich, and somehow still light enough that you don’t hate yourself afterward. Pure culinary sorcery. Nutwood continues to be the cheeky, flavorful gem of Winterhaven. Bold plates, zero pretension, and enough personality to make you laugh out loud mid-bite. If you haven’t been, fix that immediately. If you have… see you there next week (I’ll be the one pretending it’s my first time again).”

Manny's Chophouse- Winter Haven 1100 3rd St SW, Winter Haven Pet Friendly • $$

“Ok, so I see some negative comments on here about Mannys. I have been going to the one on 27 for a little over 10 years. Usually at least twice a month. I have NOT had the experience these people have and wonder if their expectations were beyond attainable and no matter how good things were they would still have a complaint. My girlfriend and I love this place. I have never had a badly cooked steak and the prime rib my girlfriend gets is what she wants. I would not under any circumstances continue to patron a restaurant if it were not good. Having lived in west Texas for almost two decades, I know a good steak. If your expectations are that high, maybe stay home and cook one yourself. You are your own worst critic.”

“If you’re hitting up Olive Garden anytime soon, do yourself a favor and ask for Lochlan B.

Straight up—this dude sets the standard. From the moment we sat down, he was patient, humble, and never once made us feel rushed. You can tell right away he actually cares about what he’s doing, not just going through the motions. Every question? Answered. Every request? Handled without hesitation. He stayed on top of everything the entire time without being overbearing.

What really stood out is that he genuinely seems to love his job—and that energy makes a difference. It’s rare to get service that feels this smooth and effortless.

If you want your dining experience done right, ask for Lochlan B. You won’t regret it.”

“Everywhere you see it’s dirty tables and not being cleaned as the people leave. The staff is exhausted just like any other parent you see in this hotel. Kitchen staff not as effective as they should be because one salad to make can’t be 45 min. Most likely they were short staffed or not prepped a busy week day. Salmon on salad was a little overcook but tasted good. Still a great restaurant and great service knowing that we have to deal with madness every single day…”

Crab Craze 842 6th St NW, Winter Haven Seafood • $$

“I love crab legs, but I’ve often been disappointed by seafood restaurants that serve small, underweight crabs as an afterthought. I found Crab Craze online and decided to give it a try.

The atmosphere is a bit of a dive, but I kept an open mind. I ordered two portions and was told there would be about a 40-minute wait, so I drove around and came back. When I saw my order, I could not believe my eyes. The snow crab legs were large, perfectly pink, and smothered with just the right amount of seasoning and butter.

By far, these are the best crab legs I’ve ever ordered. They were better than expected, and I will definitely be ordering again. If you love crab legs, this is the place!!”

That was a pleasant and appreciated surprise to not have to wait. Our server,Jordyn was attentive and friendly she had perfect timing with drinks appetizers , main courses and desserts. We ordered 3 appetizers for the table and 5 different meals as well as two desserts for us each to have a sample of. Everything was not only full of flavor and perfectly prepared but also absolutely beautifully plated. We had a pleasant conversation with the owner ,Cindy, and she answered our questions about some of the flavors that we couldn’t quite place. We also discussed the history of the restaurant. It’s nice to see owners/managers in the dining area. We will come again soon and recommend this establishment to our friends and family. Thank You all”

“My family frequently this location and have never had a bad meal or service. What the manager did this evening topped every experience I have ever had since ever going to sonny's for several decades now. I was having to place an order online to be picked up as we were not able to dine in, had a couple of issues with the app so figured I would just walk in and order. Saw both gm's and wanted to let them know the issues I was seeing with the app, issue was also happening when trying to order the same thing from a pc as well on their website. He immediately called corporate but being after hours I think he was only able to leave a voicemail. After listening to me he takes me over to the takeout counter and tells the cashier my order is on him for having a bad experience. I couldn't believe it as it was so generous of him. The food was superb and we will definitely be back as you don't find customer service like that everywhere you go anymore. They have showed they are not only serious about their bbq but also their commitment to outstanding customer service. Thank you for the great experience.”

She has such a warm, inviting presence, and it shows in how smoothly everything runs when she’s there. She knows how to handle her team, she knows how to handle a rush, and she does it all with kindness, patience, and confidence. No matter how busy it is, Celeste is always exceptional sweet, respectful, and a true team player with outstanding leadership skills. Honestly, I love this Marco’s mostly because of her. She is my favorite, hands down. She’s number one to me. That said, the entire staff is very sweet as well, which says a lot about the environment she helps create. The managers should be incredibly proud of the team they have especially Celeste. She’s a gem and deserves all the recognition.”
