11 Best Southern Restaurants near Lakeland

“Everything was great. Kudos to the waitress Areyana. She got everything I needed on time. The greens had a little to much meat in them. Everything else was great. I usually have slow service at that location. She's changed my mind and I'll probably return this week.Parking: Plenty of parking even for larg vehicles.“

“Best Southern food I've had in years. Tastes like the food grandma used to cook. Love the chocolate cake and the fried chicken livers and the catfish. Everything is awesome“

“So order some lamb chops from TrapFusion901 last night at the wine on the river and this is what they gave me for $30. They definitely holds up to their name. When I ordered they told me 25/30 minutes so I go back and start getting more wine while I wait. I went back in 25 minutes, I was about to ask this lady was my food ready but before I could, this older lady from the trap made a comment "why are all these people back her, it's just to much", so trap lady #2 asked me "what I needed" and I told her "I was trying to see if my food was ready". She said "not yet". In my mind I'm wondering how would she know and not know my name. She comes back 3 minutes later to ask me my name. I told her that she should have asked me thar before saying that my food wasn't ready and then I perceived to give her my name. After that she then tells me my food was sitting on the table upfront with trap lady #1. I responded to her that she had just told me it wasn't ready and that food had been sitting there prior to me walking up. So I go to trap lady #1 and got my food. When I opened it I was highly disappointed. The chops were cold and dry. They drowned them in bbq sauce, which I don't like. On top of that it was only 3 chops in there for $30. This is another BOB I don't recommend. If they needed $30 they should have just asked.“

“I just love Chicken Salad Chick with all the selections, friendly service, and great atmosphere. I introduced CSC to my husband and he was so impressed that he got an extra scoop to go. I got the Jalapeño Holly and grape salad. It was such a fantastic combo. Big portions and full of flavor.“

“black eyed peas slightly tougher than I prefer but have a decent flavor. the okra wasnt super slimey and cabbage had delicious flavor but wasn't salty both were awesome. the grilled cat fish was light and delicious without that overly fishy taste and the cornbread crispy around the edges (in a good way) and soft throughout, perfect“

“My experience with the Brick House was amazing experience the food was great everyone was friendly and the greens were the best I don't eat everybody's greens. And we got to praise the Lord without it being a problem Thanks, brick house management and staff“

“We had a great time celebrating my son's birthday. Our server Julie was awesome! We enjoyed watching the game while we ate. Our server reminded us of the free refills on beverages. It was raining so wet floor signs were out. The building was clean. I will be back.“
