“Went to the Lakeland Fred’s the other day with my old auntie who lives in the area. I’m a Riverview Fred’s but this one was pretty good. They had the Swiss steak and gravy which I have never seen at my Fred’s. I sure do love it (hint-hint, clue -clue).Steak was tender and the gravy perfect. I wanted to go back for more but I have limited myself in order to keep this girlish figure. In keeping with tradition, the buffet was plentiful. It was like an old school family reunion or Sunday dinner after church at your granny’s. Fried and baked chicken and fish, ribs, chicken and dumplings, mashed potato’s, rice, grits, black eyed peas with snaps, tomatoes, tomatoes and okra, cabbage, greens, fried green tomatoes, Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, corn casserole, corn bread, yeast rolls, green beans, a full old fashion salad bar, soups, and a dessert bar. I feel like heading back over there right now. It was good, let me tell you. If you like southern food you won’t go wrong at Fred’s.”

It was clean and smelled clean. Even after closing, they were wiping down everything in the Kitty room and doing more cleaning. It's in a nice location in a very long strip mall. I wish it were closer to Tampa- I would go all the time.”

“Had a lovely late lunch today. Our waitress, MacKenzie, was great! The beef and ginger potstickers were delicious! Loved the lemon drop martini and the parmesean crusted rainbow trout wonderful. I especially was happy to see the broccoli florets cooked soft enough and yet not mushy. My husband loved his blackened salmon. We will be back!”

“They have some of the best staff. Shannon is the best”

“We loved dining at this restaurant. The food was outstanding—everything was flavorful, perfectly cooked, and tasted like it was made with real care. The portions were generous, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and the staff were genuinely friendly and attentive without being overbearing. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger a little longer.

Finding a restaurant that nails great food, fair prices, and excellent service all at once isn’t easy, but Low and Slow does exactly that. We’ll definitely be making the trip back from Tampa again. Highly recommend!”

“The place is so cute and definitely gives you that cool Japan vibe! The vases on the wall are beautiful and they have anime playing on one tv(when I went they had Naruto on :D) and a regular show on the other, it's a great place to come with your anime loving friends if your into Japanese food. Even the plates are elegant :))) and the food is very good I would definitely recommend <3 (*'▽'*)(≧∀≦)(๑･̑◡･̑๑)”

“We usually order sandwiches and pizza for take out, which is always delicious. Last night my husband and I decided to have our date night there and finally try the pasta. This place never fails. The food was amazing, especially the caprese burrata and panna cotta . I wish I could remember our servers name. She was the best server we've had anywhere in a long time. We will definitely be back!!!”

“Always amazing. A small menu but built with love and care. Ive never had a meal that disappointed me from fish city, and ive had a LOT. They carry a variety of local craft beers and the seafood is always fresh. The staff are kind and patient, willing to remind an old man of the specials a dozen times without breaking a sweat. If youre in the area I cant recommend it enough.”

“Lunch was great! Javymar was a great waitress”

Our food came out quickly, our drinks were always refilled, and she had such a positive attitude that made the whole experience enjoyable. Great customer service like hers is hard to find. We’ll definitely be back and will be asking for Crystal again! Thank you for making our visit so pleasant. 😊”

“My first 20 Star review! Walked up late night when dine in was closed and explained I am driving an 18 Wheeler cant do drive thru.

Ordered a Big Mac and Fish Fillet at the front door. Women came back few minutes later and said dont worry about it. I got fed for free that night at McDees ❤️👌🇺🇸”

“I’ve been to hundreds of McDonald’s worldwide and just had the absolute best bacon egg and cheese bagel meal or best food I’ve ever had at any location. The person on duty (after calling and finding out), Isaiah, has definitely set high standards for all others. Thanks for the perfect experience.”

“I can’t say enough good things about them! I called a few days before my daughter’s birthday because all she wanted was to treat her entire class to Happy Meals, and they made it happen—everything was ready right on time. I’m so grateful to the manager, Brina, for making it such a smooth experience.

I chose this McDonald’s specifically because the service is always exceptional. There’s one closer to me, but the level of service here just doesn’t compare.”

“This is my go-to place to relax with a hot chocolate or a cat.. It is always clean, and the cats are always well cared for. The food is always fresh and delicious, and I am always made to feel welcome by owner Cindy Skop. it never disappoints me. I love this place!”

“friendly staff great food”

Go give The Joinery a try! The many options of food will not disappoint!”

“Delicious food, clean and nice atmosphere, and good service”

“JUST THE BEST”

“First time here- the bartenders are amazing.. love the drink’s & atmosphere.. definitely coming back. My husband & I tried the Japanese old fashion delicious, duck-fat old fashioned- really tasted like duck fat.. & finished with a pumpkin spiced old fashioned- yummy.”

“First time stop in. Have been making efforts to hit the Mom & Pops never visited before. This is definitely a good find. Small place with a friendly wait staff. Stopped in for first breakfast. Ordered a small biscuits and gravy. It’s a large portion for a “small”! Good wholesome flavor. Not too peppery like some get. Biscuit was fluffy and very tasty! Wife got her usual 2 eggs, home fries, sausage patty and sourdough toast. It’s what she gages all breakfast by. Said this one ranked pretty high on her yum! list. Next time into Lakeland, we’ll be stopping in!”

“This place is a true treasure. The food is phenomenal, the attention and customer service is great, and the ambience is very cozy. We love their sandwiches and their pastries. We always get a loaf of the sourdough bread.”

“It’s not often in this day and age that you find respectful, hardworking, mature, young individuals, however every time I come to this location that’s what I run into and I will forever be admirable for that! I wish I could remember his name but he’s there almost every time I go and he is so sweet, talks to my kids, has patience while my kids take ten years to decide their flavor, and at the end of it all will literally thank me profusely for tipping! He is just the sweetest young man, his momma should be so proud of how he was raised! Anyway, I recommend Lakeland ice cream company to everyone, best ice cream, but on top of that best service, and I will always go somewhere with the best service. Way to go Lakeland ice cream company!!”

“best place ever! Great food, great service, and better value!!”

“We had a fantastic lunch there last Friday March 28th. Beautiful weather we had to sit outside in your patio to enjoy the day! My Grandson is still raving about your Chocolate Caramel cake! Great quick service too! We will be back next time we are in that beautiful area!”

“Was in town watching dogs for someone, and saw that this place A) exists and B) has cheesesteaks. I will try a cheesesteak anywhere, even if gunfire is happening around me. Thankfully, this restaurant is in a no fire zone. But for this sandwich, it would be worth the risk and the added expense of kevlar. I kid you not, their “Awesome Philly Sub” is that and more. I can’t remember eating a better cheesesteak in 2 decades, and I’ve most certainly tried. Two thumbs up isn’t quite enough… I’ll have to borrow some extra thumbs from my enemies to add to the score. Highly recommended! And I’m a cheesesteak snob… they conquered my appetite and I’ll most definitely be back when I’m out this way again. If you live in Lakeland and love sandwiches and HAVEN’T TRIED THIS PLACE, you are missing out and are making a bald eagle cry. I can’t prove that second one, but it sounds legit.”

“The Beef Pho is very delicious!”

“Dannika was so sweet and my smoothie was yummmmmaaay!!! I got a mango passion!! What great customer service and quality smoothies, I’m coming here again for sure :) !”

“RIB!!!!! They were awesome…. They catered an event at my workplace…”

“We love Lakeland ice cream company south! Wonderful service, great flavors and unique options. This location is a bit tucked away and unassuming from the exterior but is an absolute gem. The flavor and consistency of the ice cream is great, my kids tried the cotton candy burrito and I’m not sure if there’s any other way to eat ice cream at this point. The prices are incredible- especially given the serving sizes. I honestly can’t wait to go back again.”

“I have never ever received piping hot pancakes from anywhere until today. They were absolutely delicious!”

“This place is absolutely the bomb! We have been living here since 2013 and we have driven past this place so many times, however, we didn't realize what kind of a place it is! They have such a large variety of teas all these different flavors it is so amazing! I ended up getting a sweetened watermelon iced tea and I bought a little cup of blueberries to put on the top. they are so nice here and they have such a selection! I definitely give them a five ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Go check them out you will not be disappointed!”

“I moved here from Miami going on 4 years. I LOVE my Caribbean food. I tried a few and NEVER went back. But this right here the BEST food BEST customer service and the homey feeling hospitality was like I was home. I found my spot and if it ain’t seafood I will not be eating no where else. Home made food healthy gods the drink OMG. I love to eat I won’t lead you the wrong way. If you haven’t been I suggest you go now. Thank you.”

Have you ever eaten something where you can’t help but continuously repeat “this is the best thing I’ve ever tasted” ? Eating a sandwich from here is one of those experiences. 10/10 recommend! Also their outside eating area is adorable!”

“The food and service downtown was so good ! The sauce Bedrock Buffalo taste so good and my boneless chicken nuggets were a huge breast of chicken cut and served with hot sauce it was so fresh and good”

“Just enjoyed the best pizza I have had in a long time. Had hand tossed regular pizza with extra toppings of onions, bell peppers, sausage, chopped tomatoes and mushrooms. The on line order did not go through for some reason but the associate was accommodating and put my order together just as ordered on line for same promotional price. Loved the pizza”

“great quality, quantity, and fair prices, really great service and all coming here often”

“We will be coming back for sure. Delicious, healthy, clean, wonderful service. Prices are fabulous in this economy.”

“G&G Jamaican Delights is a must-visit in Lakeland for authentic Jamaican cuisine. Every dish is packed with bold, well-seasoned flavors that truly taste like home. The oxtail is tender, rich, and cooked to perfection, and the sides are always fresh and satisfying. The service is warm and welcoming, and the quality is consistently excellent. Highly recommended if you’re craving real Jamaican food 🇯🇲💕”

“I ordered our Thanksgiving meal from 4 Rivers this year. Everything was ready to go when I arrived to pick it up, and they even loaded it in the car for me. The service was great, and the staff were friendly. The food was amazing! The reason I rated it a 4 instead of 5 is because of the way the food was packaged. I knew it would need to be re-heated, and they provided good instructions, but everything came in sealed plastic bags. I was expecting it to be in containers that could be placed directly in the oven, so at the last minute, I had to scrounge around & find 8 of my own Corning ware dishes, pots & pans for heating it all. Then I had to cut all the bags open & pour & squeeze the food out. It took a little more time & effort than I thought it would, but everyone enjoyed the food.”

“Food that makes you take a moment to appreciate high-quality cuisine. Not only is their food freshly made when you order, but it also tastes phenomenal. Nothing on their menu is terrible. The journey your tastebuds go on, from the first bite to the last, is one everyone strives to experience when dining out. Not only is their food outstanding, but their customer service is excellent. For example, during Hurricane Milton, they were there for this community. When all of us were at home readying our homes for the storm, the staff remained at work to ensure everyone had access to a hot meal. When all of us were sitting without power, worrying about storm damage and cleaning up, the staff served our community with hot meals. This is going over and beyond in so many ways. I will be a forever client of this establishment due to their high-quality food and how they care about the communities they serve. We recently bought a home less than two miles from one of their locations. I am not exaggerating when I tell you I eat here five days a week, sometimes more. We volunteer at Bartow Middle School 3-4 days a week. What do the teachers and staff ask us to get when there? The lake house. Please stop by and allow your senses to fall in love with this hidden gem. Let’s support small businesses like this that serve our community so well.”

“Looking for something for lunch and found this amazing place. I got springs rolls and the beef pho. The springs rolls were amazing 10/10 fresh herbs the peanut sauce with it was amazing. The beeed pho 20/10 this was by far the best pho I’ve had in Lakeland, the favor down to the fresh basil and multiple herbs was amazing. You can taste the passion this chef has for his food most definitely. Phenomenal please go check it out. You can even sit down and enjoy the food with your family or significant other”

“This is my go-to place to relax with a hot chocolate or a cat.. It is always clean, and the cats are always well cared for. The food is always fresh and delicious, and I am always made to feel welcome by owner Cindy Skop. it never disappoints me. I love this place!”

“This is a wonderful dessert shop with a wide variety of Italian ice, gelato, ice cream and shakes. Items are gluten free, dairy free and sugar free. Owners are wonderful and always welcoming and friendly. Business is sparkling clean and inviting.”

“Great food!”

“Very great personal team work”

“Very delicious cheese burger, my favorite ale and my beautiful bride in my company. Wonderful time and great atmosphere at Miller’s Ale House in Lakeland!”

I feel like heading back over there right now. It was good, let me tell you. If you like southern food you won’t go wrong at Fred’s.”

“friendly staff great food”

“Just left. 1/17/2025. Food is excellent but….service tonight was horrible. Never refilled water glasses, my husband got the burrito and asked for some queso to put over it. The girl brought him shredded cheese! Gave us a container for the guacamole and the wrong lid. In between each request we wondered if our waitress was coming back. Finally brought the bill and once again never came back. We finally took the bill to the front to pay. I love their food but when the service is bad it ruins everything 👎”

“I was Amazed to see customers with dogs in an open restaurant where dishes are buffet style. It turned me off because dogs should not be in restaurants where people are dining. Dogs carry germs and other bacteria. This should not be allowed in Any restaurant even if they are service dogs. There should be limits placed on animals in food places. Don't 4get people dogs are not human. They are ANIMALS and they walk on dirty grounds with 4 feet. Also there are people that are allergic to dogs, afraid of dogs and can't be around them for medical purposes. Let's stop being selfish with animals. Just because you may love them others may not. Consideration Must be extended.”

“Good food and the owner is super nice”

“Baileigh was fantastic… our wait was excessive but let’s face it it was a Sunday… but once we got to sit and be cared for by Baileigh everything was ALL GOOD… she was attentive and FUN.”

“If y'all havent had a burger here, just go ahead and clear your schedule and make time. You won't be sorry, flavorful burgers, crispy fries and onion rings, and yummy wings. Go now!”

“My experience was amazing. Very pleasant staff. The food was fresh not oily very tasty. I love that it’s not overly salty. My Arnold Palmer is just right. The spicy mayo sauce is really tasty just a kick it’s not hot.”

“What a wonderful experience! Friendly, attentive staff that is so kind and helpful! It was my first time and the chicken salad did not disappoint! I will definitely be back.”

“A safe place for any and everybody, many cool events, drinks for anyone in the family to enjoy, outside lounge and play area for kids, pet beds and water bowls, and just all around good vibez.”

“Had the pleasure of experiencing The Peach House for my birthday dinner, and it did not disappoint!! Great well thought out smaller menu, but covered all bases!! Cocktails were exceptionally good, Appetizers were amazing, Main course was Delicious, Steak frites are the best in Lakeland by far, and Jambalaya was the perfect mixture to keep you wanting just one more bite. We shared the Brûlée Key Lime Pie with house made whipped cream and it was better than I’ve had in Key West!! 10 out of 10 on my list, atmosphere is pleasantly decorated for the holiday season, book you family gathering or work gathering in this incredible little spot before everyone knows!!”

“Thank you for the wonderful catering last Saturday! Everyone raved about the delicious food! Ciabatta sliders, galettes, cupcakes, & salads!”

“This place has become my new fave here in South Lakeland! I've been 4 times now and each time it seriously just gets better! 😋 Both breakfast and lunch are delish. The servers are always friendly, fast and kind. Super clean environment. Highly recommend. This place is definitely not to be compared to the old diner prior - TOTALLY DIFFERENT OWNERS and you can taste the difference!! Oh and if you like fried pork chops and home fries, don't walk, RUN!!! Soooo good!”

“It is just like the nilla bean cupcake cookie. It has delicious buttercream frosting. It goes along very well with cookie. The heart sprinkles are a pretty touch.”

“The avocado toast and grits were perfectly cooked. The chicken and waffles were amazing!! Amanda is the very best waitress EVER!! I love the way she decorated the restaurant patriotically!!! I love her appreciation of her country!!! My favorite restaurant!”

“NO SEED OILS! Will definitely be a repeat customer. fries were nice and hot, chicken club and the Lakeland burger were great.”

“The place makes the best drinks, the atmosphere is perfect, service is impeccable and the owner Anup is incredible. If you want a great night out it’s a must go to .”

“Such a beautiful little coffee place I love the coffee the employee is very sweet! When you are ready to open up a little shop in your own location let me know maybe we can discuss getting some business funding!!! I support showing the love of Jesus and coffee on one place ♥️”
