Restaurants in Winter Haven

“This is a lovely,locally owned restaurant. Huge variety of seafood. Servers are excellent. There was a slight mistake with our order, and they immediately fixed it. (Before we even knew)Kid-friendliness: There were 2 children here, and they were content with what they were served.”

“The food was delicious and authentic. My family including the kids enjoyed every bite. The chicken kabobs and lamb gyros were delish. I also enjoyed the lentil soup and shwerma. It is a family run restaurant and everyone is so personable and friendly from the servers to the owners. Will definitely come ”

“We've been trying to reserve a table at Arabellas for a few months, but they always seem booked up for dinner reservations. Today, we had our afternoon free and decided to see if they had lunch availability. Luckily, we were able to book a table.Unfortunately, the hostess who greeted us had an attitude and said she could seat us, but we had to hurry up and get our order in and be done eating in a timely manner. At this point, we almost said forget it and go somewhere else. Mind you, it was only 1:30, so it was not far past prime lunch hour, and they had the time available. This is what earned them a 3 for service.On the plus side, our waitress was super attentive, very professional, and the food was excellent, as you can see from the clean plate.”

“The food was really outstanding. Unexpected for a small town in FL. The atmosphere is simple and pleasant. We started with the deviled eggs that had (cayenne I think) a smooth fill and a fragile greens salad as an accompaniment that made them very tasty. The pickled beet salad wasn't too pickled which brought out the natural flavor. My husband had a thick cut pork chop, prepared perfectly and topped with a traditional chimichurri (not easy to find outside or Miami). A sweet potato purée was an improvement vs. the usual apple flavors. Husband said I had to mention how good it was. I had a chicken piccata special on top of parmesan orzo. There was a little lemon or tang in the sauce. Not a grain remained. Staff was beyond accommodating and knowledgeable, they shared the brunch menu and we're already trying to determine dates when we can make the hour drive to revisit.”

“I've always had a good meal with top notch service and love the view. Being from Maryland, I was skeptical to see a Maryland crabcake on the new menu. I must say it was Fantastic! Had a good amount of Lump and little filler. I got the crabcake sandwich. Hope they keep it on the menu and I'll be back for sure!”

“I'm not a craft beer fan but I enjoyed a hard cider. I went for the band, Daniel Burns Band! Best band in Florida! Thank you Grove Roots for a good time!❤”

“The ambiance was very relaxing and the presentation was excellent. It’s unfortunate that the brunch is only on weekends because the food was 10/10. Chicken and waffles tasted like home and the drinks were GREAT. It does take a little while as each item is made to order but well worth it because everything was hot and fresh. We will definitely be back with a group of people to show off this hidden gem.”

“WOW! Me before going: “How good can a sandwich be?” Me after: “That was literally the best Cubano I’ve ever had!” And Neil was a super friendly guy! Kiddos loved it, too! ?”

“Excellent customer service Extremely delicious food ? my number one choice when it comes to Jamaican food when I'm in Polk County Florida Maxwell is the best and has the best Escovich fish ai have ever ”

“Hands down best pizza. Not into the thick crust most places have. Love that it's cut in small squares instead of the typical pizza half way. This one is always cut through. Plenty of toppings, always get the supreme. people are always nice and attentive. Definitely a must try pizza place.”

“Great spot in a cool location. Food was more than fantastic and service was top notch. Kevin was our server and he couldn't have been any better, he was on top of his game, he'll take awesome care of you and answer any questions you may have. We WILL return. Would recommend 10/10. Check it out.”

“Lauren M. was our server for the night and she was amazing. We had a party of 9 for dinner and you know how it is woth a big family with kids, but this didn't matter because Lauren was very attentive in ensuring everything was okay with our dinner. Couldn't be happier. Thank you Lauren and manager. (Visited on 3/21).”

“Sushi was good. Menu is very difficult to read. Crab rangoons were not my favorite and I love them. These had a very chunky middle and different taste. The steak and vegetable dish we had was not very good.”

“So happy we gave this place a try! The sushi is so fresh and delicious!!! The customer service is also superb! I am for sure becoming a regular. Not to mention the prices are amazing!”

“Any bad reviews have to be negative because when I tell you that the food is 1000/10, service is outstanding and the place is extremely clean. Food took less than 15 minutes to come out. I will certainly be back!”

“Perfect place to eat after a day spent at Legoland with the family. The food was delicious and came out quick. The kids loved their shakes, and the margaritas were great!”

“Best Chef ever at entertaining. Support staff never asked us if we needed anything more drinks or desert. We would have spent more money. Food wasnt over salty like some places.”

“This is absolutely the best place to find your natural remedies. Customer service is THE BEST. Employees are very sweet and down to earth. I have been shopping here for more than a year now and still am impressed with there wide selection and customer service. Highly recommend!”

“If you are looking for the best sea food, this is the place! The service and attention to clients is excellent. Clean place and organized. Everything in the menu is good. You wont regret it!”

“The food was great. I highly recommend getting your steak parmison encrusted.It's makes it even better.The Mac and cheese is amazing, it's nice andCheesy.”

“We enjoy going to Central Tavern to relax and have a few beverages. We love that it is in the middle of downtown with inside and outside seating. Football has been a lot more fun this year with some awesome snacks supplied by the awesome and very friendly staff. We have lots of fun.! Wonderful Staff, Awesome Drinks, Fun place to watch sports and to top it off fabulous location. Good times. David & Kim RobertsParking: There is a Parking Garage very close by.”

“Honestly not sure why so many other reviews are negative. I had no issues with customer service. I had to wait a few minutes, as Chili's is handling their own orders as well as orders for Just Wings. But my food was hot and fresh so I have no problem waiting. Fries were crispy, wings have a great flavor. My only complaint is I wish they were fried harder. Other than that, great value for what you pay, especially with wing prices going up. Similar to a Wing Stop experience, but for the price, I prefer Just Wings.”

“It may be because we always visit on busier nights of the week, but service here tends to be very good but a little slow as time goes by during the visit (except food comes out pretty fast). It's fine if you are not in a hurry.Food has been consistently good, and prepared as asked (such as temperature of meat or adjustments to salad).”

“OK, the only time in my life I've ate at Five Guys was in the location in Orlando, FL on Semoran Blvd (close to the airport) in 2016...It was good but, well I just moved to USA then, and after almost 8 years living here, living in 3 different states (FL, IL and VA) and traveled around 14 other different states of this big country (and tried almost every single ?? place on the road, from main fast food chains to simple burger joints in a corner at any given street),I have to confess that SHAKE SHACK burgers are the best ones you can afford, without spend 50 $ for a Burger in a gourmet restaurant in New York or San Francisco, BTW, in both places I did try those expensive ones and I still prefer Shake Shack ? ? hands down without any doubt!For the review of this Five Guys location in Winter Haven, FL, I requested a double ? with ? + ? "all the way" (all the toppings) and it was good, very good!? The meat was great and juicy, with fresh toppings and melty cheese, a 9 of 10 ??? maybe the main reason that make believe that it's a wonderful one, it's because the sauces are the classics (mustard, ketchup and mayo) and it make a kind of "boring" for such a good combination of bread, meat and toppings. Also it is fare to say that being such a "loaded"? you don't feel yourself like a blimp ?, plus I didn't ask for the?, just the burger.but at the level of Shake Shack (for the record, the best Shak Shack is the one at downtown Virginia Beach, VA), it's getting close but not enough.One more thing: there is and pld saying that says: "if you see an employee of a restaurant eating in the place, the food is good" well, there you have a picture of beautiful employee taking his Five Guys ? for her dinner.?”

“I recently had the pleasure of getting breakfast at a restaurant where JANIS provided exceptional service! Her attention to detail and warm personality truly made the experience unforgettable. I highly recommend this Breakfast and suggest requesting Janis as your server for a truly outstanding dining experience!”

“Very cute restaurant..if you stay at the hotel you get breakfast for Free. Which is perfect amount of food. It comes out as a tray for everyone to eat. Very clever idea I think.”

“They are always spot on. We found this place 12 years ago by a review and it is the only place we get carryout Chinese here in Winter Haven. Love the hot and sour soup! General Tso chicken darned tasty. I ask for a little extra kick in mine. Call ahead and in a matter of 30 minutes you can pick it up.!! Love this place thank you Eddie's for all the great memories!”

“This staff is welcoming and friendly! The atmosphere is nice and what I love is that they are pet friendly. Needed a nice place to eat while I was out with my pups. The garlic parmesan wings are amazing, the mozarella sticks were really yummy as well and honestly probably one of the best I’ve tasted, as for the nachos they were pretty good, not my favorite but they were great and I was with my grandmother and mother and they both thought it was really good. Their sweet tea was really great as well. All in all the food was great! Definitely would come by here again.”

“Outstanding meal! Fresh! Generous! Gourmet Brussel sprouts, thick salmon, cooked perfectly! Super-healthy! Service: Diane couldn’t do enough for us! She was a care-giver for sure! Atmosphere: music was just the right volume and restaurant was clean! RED LOBSTER IN WINTER HAVEN, FLORIDA #230”
