“Marlo was our server and she was wonderful with attentive help and great personality. I will ask for her help in the future.”

“Here on Sunday after church. Great food and the staff is really friendly. Very short staffed (isn’t everyone!??‍♀️). One server for the entire diner, so our wait time was pretty excessive. She was doing a great job keeping up as fast as she could.”

“We LOVE Pelican’s! Friday night 7:30pm 12/23/22 it was in the 40’s and we were wanting our Pelican fix. Mine is Cotton Candy, and my husband gets Cheesecake stuffed.”

“Man, if you go anywhere at Legoland, it needs to be this place. You get a ton of fries for fairly cheap compared to the rest of the theme park food and it's really good.”

“I love come in firehouse ice cream and Coffee. We love Jennifer.”

“Perhaps one of the best funnels cakes I’ve ever had. I originally wanted the Apple pie funnel cake but they were out of apples and I chose Cookies and cream as an after thought. Well I’m glad I did. Pure deliciousness!!!”

“My family and I stayed at the Legoland Hotel for an entire week. The atmosphere around both hotels and the park itself was amazing. All of the staff members were lovely and made my son's birthday extra special. Hunting for pop badges was super fun, even for adults, however, its meant as a way for children to get out of their shells and speak to people, so if youre hunting with your kids, encourage them to be the ones to ask staff members for the badges. Also, there's a very good reason for check in times at 4pm at the hotels- so you dont have to pay for parking ($35/day). The park is very inclusive, having a sensory rating system throughout on various rides and attractions, there are also sensory-friendly hours in the park. I can't say enough good things about this place and we are already planning on returning.”

“It's better than McDonald's chicken but less than Chick-fil-A. It definitely tasted like real chicken and didn't taste oily fried at all. We thought it was great for what it was. We had a 5 and 7 year old and still had about 1.5 cups of French fries left.
We got our meal for free since someone didn't pick up their order. There soda machine is free for all 😉😉.”

“Bbq bacon burger has no pulled pork, but it was on the picture. No hand soap in the restrooms. They have a beer. Food is OK. $90 for 4ppl. Not much choices around, other places have only popcorn and pretzels. Enough of sitting inside and outside.”

“Very tasty genuine Mexican food!”

“I love bringing their food on my food tours! They have a great selection and everything is sooo tasty! One time I brought their calzone on my tour and I asked the couple afterwards if they loved it. Of course they did. I then shared that it was vegan and they literally gasped at me. Turns out the mother has a daughter-in-law who's vegan coming to visit, and she didn't know that Winter Haven had such diversity. Our community is amazing!”

“Love the staff and food. Tried the restaurant after the renovation and the new items added to the menu are awesome. Everything is hot and fresh. Home made pickles are a tasty garnish. The French fries are lightly seasoned and thick crinkle cut. Golden texture is great and you don’t even need ketchup. The pulled bbq is our fav along with the Mac n cheese. Best out there. The owner comes around to Check on the tables and the staff are so friendly, you feel like part of the family. Can’t wait to go back. Breanna was our server tonight and she is sweet as the bbq sauce and took great care of us, great service.”

“Been going here for years love this place so relaxing food delicious Great service beautiful inside and out can't say Enough good things everyone Should go an experience such a peaceful place They'll come back over and over again. The owners are fantastic. So go and enjoy”

“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”

The freshest fish & shellfish, steak and cuisine done beautifully and served fast, with a smile. They have a stocked bar with great drinks served quickly and right. Harry's makes me want to dine out daily. I'd like to say a huge "thank you" to them for making me proud to be part of their patronage. Harry's for life!!! 💯!”

“My husband and I went to the Cheese Shop and Deli for the first time. We had the best sandwiches. I had the turkey and cheese Panini on marble rye and my husband had the Cuban sandwich. The staff was so friendly and Grace, the owner, came out to each table to speak to the customers. A great local place for some great food. I think we found our new favorite sandwich shop.”
