32 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Winter Haven

“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.“

“Wonderful food with kind sweet staff. Portions were just right and freshly prepared.“

“The food was only second to the service! I had the biscuits and gravy while my wife and friend both had the eggs Benedict. Both meals were amazing! We also had the onion rings for an appetizer and they were delicious. The service was absolutely phenomenal! Sophia took great care of us with kindness, positivity, and knowledge. We will definitely be back!“

“Great Bourbon bar with awesome staff and great atmosphere. A must try for bourbon lovers.“

“My girlfriend came down from NY and we ate at your establishment three (3)day's straight. We had the breakfast and dinner. We enjoyed the food so much, we bought the shirts ?. The service, amazing. The food was Egg-ceptional...“

“♥️Highly recommended Twisted Prop to have a private Event on the back deck the Service & food was “Great “ Thank you to the Management for making our Party “FUN” 🎈🍻🎉“

“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).“

“What a wonderful addition to the downtown area bringing people together serving with love ❤️ one of my favorite places“

“Went for a 6 mile run here and had a great experience. The trail is peaceful well maintained, and perfect for getting some miles in. Plenty of shade, nice scenery by the lake, and not too crowded. Definitely recommend for anyone that is looking to run, walk or just enjoy sometime outdoors“

“Pumpkin ice coffee was absolutely amazing! This season nothing pumpkin has really hit the spot this absolutely made up for everything. Everything my family had was amazing, the melt sauce was awesome, husband hasn’t stopped talking about it. Club sandwich was super filling! The staff was absolutely amazing, had the best experience and my husband hasn’t stopped going on how amazing they were.“

“I was so happy to run into this spot after just reminiscing about the old location by Winter Haven high school stadium!! The burger was just as good as I remember 😋, can't wait to go back!!“

“great atmosphere, great selection of beer, seltzers and ciders and pizza is delicious!!! will definitely be coming here again to try all the different selections!!! 11/10 recommend!!!“

“Best and yummiest gourmet bakery in FLORIDA.“

“I reserved Jensens for a private event and was not disappointed! Great atmosphere, wonderful service, and tasty drinks. I couldn't have asked for anything more. 10/10“

“Really good food! Laid back atmosphere. Obviously a place for locals. Music varies, but is usually pretty good. Weekend dinner options vary, but are all good.“

“They have hush puppies! And they're real? Yes they are. My wife has been looking for these for several years. Instead of just being cornbread, they are actual hush puppies. With onions. Etc.

And my gyro was excellent.“

“I recently attended a private catered event at Flightline Cafe . We had a delicious buffet meal Salmon , Parmesan Chicken Breast , Sweet Baby Carrots. Garlic Mashed potatoes and tasty Broccoli and cheeses . Started the buffet with a delicious tossed salad with all the fixing . Washed it down with sweet tea and lemonade. The bar has top shelf drinks that keep you going back for more . Service was impeccable. If you ever need a place to have a function Flightline Cafe should be one of your top choices as kudos to the owners“

“The staff was inclusive and welcoming! First time just passing by with friends. I love the sauce selection and the hidden gems in it! This place made an impression on me for the brand and will definitely make me stop when traveling and seeing one as a trusted place to fill your stomach in confidence 🙌🏾“

“Nice fish market fresh fish and produce great location across the street from Dino’s“

“Hands down the best sushi and pho in Florida. I highly recommend“

“Todo está bien Pero el horario no es cierto Dice que asta las 9pm pero hoy cerraron 7pm“

“Great food and customer service. The wait staff was very tentative. Great prices too! Hard to find these prices any more for the amount of food and service. Highly recommend.“

“One of our favorites. We just keep coming back because of good food and good service. Seemingly never the same server, but today Regan was the best—friendly and professional and attentive.“

“Cheesecakes here are outstanding and very full of flavor! I can't remember the last time I had such a great cheesecake in my life but this place is different from every other restaurant. I love the feel and the flavors selections! It's a can't miss store!“

“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.“

“I recommend this place if you like friendly staff and live music on some nights,song quizzes,trivia night,etc. the food is great. I recommend the chicken runners . I usually don’t like to hang out and eat somewhere when I’m working out of town but I really enjoy myself here and unwind. Thanks staff!“

“food was delicious. quick service the green sauce was perfect with my tacos“

“Food was good, but the bartender that we had was rude, short, and never once offered to refill my drink. My wife got several refills and when I asked the bartender said so I forgot. Hard to leave a great review. My first and probably last time due to the rude and disrespectful bartender.“

“Love Pho Boba is such a gem! The pho is rich, flavorful, and tastes like it was made with care and fresh ingredients. The broth is comforting and perfectly seasoned, and the portions are generous. Their boba drinks are just as amazing smooth, refreshing, and not overly sweet, with plenty of topping options.“

“It a so good I got a plate it was so good“

“Charity is amazing and always knows exactly what I what even if I don’t lol“

“I was just looking for something casual to eat and I found this place. I really like the taste it’s not salty and not without flavor, though the chicken was a bit dry everything else was very well done and the staff was quick not talkative but I’m okay with that. Overall I like the place and recommend people who like Japanese food to come here!“
