Seafood restaurant
Bar & grill
Crazy Fish Bar & Grill is a popular seafood restaurant located in Lake Wales, Florida. Established in 2002, it quickly gained a reputation for serving fresh, never-frozen seafood in a lively and colorful atmosphere. The restaurant's eclectic decor and vibrant patio with large umbrellas add to its appeal as a local hangout. With an extensive menu featuring items like crab legs and fish tacos, it's known for its party atmosphere and delicious seafood offerings.
This is a great local spot with a good atmosphere. Every dish I've ever ordered comes out hot and delicious. They always exceed my expectations and have great customerservice. My favorites are their light and crispy fish or shrimp. All portions are generous. Definitely worth the drive from Lakeland or a stop when passing through the area.

Met some of our oldest friends here second time in 5 years. This place was as much fun as it was then. Food was excellent my fried shrimp was spot on and my fries were great. There was a couple other platters as well a burger and a shrimp special. Mostly sweet tea but the slice of key lime at the end of the meal was truly a treat. I plan to come back here again hopefully sooner than later. Parking was in a dirt lot. Some construction going on I'm sure it's all being improved. Worth the effort to visit.
Mark F — Google review
We sat down on our way to Miami because my wife wanted some fish. She saw the reviews and particularly the Key Lime pie one. The restaurant is a bit old and smells like it but it feels like you are near the ocean or in an old ship. Pretty good magic there. Let's go from there: the KL is very sweet, too much fat on the crust and not much lime flavor. I asked the waitress for a quarter of lime and as soon as I squished on it, everything got better. I like my KL with Lime flavor and a spike sour. The shrimp scampi was plain and soaked on butter but the shrimp had shrimp flavor. They really could have improved it by seasoning the butter with some garlic, lightly fried the shrimp and then tossed the linguine on it. The fish was a bit dry and could use some sauce to balance it. The salad on the other hand was moist and crunchy. Could have accompanied the dishes instead of coming first by itself. I ate 3 of them since no one wanted them. The steak was delicious and cooked to perfection, crispy crust, perfectly seasoned. I could also have drip some lime but didn't have it then. One thing that could have been perfect was the sweet fries. It was crispy but there was no need to add sugar. It overpowers the natural sweetness of the potato. No need. And unfortunately for me, I forgot my umbrella. :(

Was looking for a chilled out place to have beer and good food, and this hit the mark! Our server was Cody - very polite, attentive and quick with the beers (always a bonus!). Tried out a selection of dishes and each was really tasty and served hot. The coconut shrimp is quite sweet, not sure what the white dip was but went well with them. The conch fritters were superb! Hot, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The sauce for these carries heat but is confusingly more-ish - loved it! After feasting on the apps, had room for sandwiches - the Mahi Mahi sandwich was really tasty. It had good flavor from being blackened but could have been a tad crisper to really excel. The crab cake sandwich was fantastic and would recommend to try them as an appetizer for sure! Fries are crispy and well seasoned. My only real letdown was the coleslaw - tasted a bit like yogurt was in the sauce and would have preferred more mayonnaise (or just mayo in general, lol) to make it creamy and have more oomph like a homemade coleslaw. Will definitely return to sample some more offerings and support this gem of a restaurant!

Yes, the food is Great..I am a frog legs fan..did not disappoint..the fried clam tender...the conch fritter awesome. Service was quick and accurate. Cook said hi on the way in. I will be back!!

Checking out some citrus groves on lake Wales and decided to try this place. Super cute old Fl cracker building, not fancy, but great seafood! The clam strip appetizer was amazing.. lightly breaded nothing chewy going on here, fresh and tender! I had the grouper basket with broccoli instead of fries. Huge piece of fish and huge serving of broccoli! Great hush puppies too, and cold beer. Check them out if you’re in the area .
Kim S — Google review
The Good: The atmosphere was nicely themed and the temperature in the restaurant was just right. The hostess and wait staff were over the top fantastic! They moved chairs around for my family and made us very comfortable. Our waitress was very attentive. The clam chowder, clam strips, sweet potato fries, crab cakes, and calamari were very good. I would return for just those items. The NOT so good: Shrimp and scallop breading tastes good, but the items were cooked too long (hard and chewy). Fried spinach is offered as a side. It looks good, but the taste does not match. I thought it would be similar to Kale chips (not at all). They just drop fresh spinach into the fryer and all you taste is the grease. The fried green tomatoes tasted great, but were as thin as paper (I think the dipping sauce was too sweet). The gumbo has potential, but lacks seasonings. Construction in the area makes it challenging to find the place. Overall, I would return for just the items I listed earlier, but I was really hoping for great shrimp and scallops.
Samuel J — Google review
So glad we’ve found this place! Their Cajun pasta and blackjack burger, amazing! Delicious house dressing, hush puppies, garlic bread and coleslaw. Their garlic habanero hot sauce was so good, we had to bring one home! Fun decorations, lively restaurant, friendly staff, fast service, very busy but worth the wait!

Restaurant
Manny's Original Chophouse in Lake Wales is a lively roadhouse-style tavern known for serving up steaks, barbecue, and American pub grub. It's a popular spot with attentive service and large portions of delicious food. The restaurant offers a cool atmosphere and fast, friendly service. While it's famous for its steaks, Manny's also impresses with its excellent seafood options like salmon and stuffed shrimp.
1st time experience. Great, authentic atmosphere! Service was friendly and attentive. Food portions were large and prices were very reasonable! Spent $200 for 7 people. 2 apps, 2 sodas, and 7 entrees! One visit and this jumped into my top 5 restaurants!
Phil I — Google review
Wow ! .. "Manny" my guy, you're back there cooking up those steaks with love ! ... No but seriously the steak here are amazing, I had a Ribeye of course and my beautiful woman had the 6oz Filet Mignon. Delicious steaks and great prices. We left there with only a $60 bill which allowed me to tip generously to the waiter, who was also great and went by the name Laney... shout out to Laney. Service was kind and happy. It was a packed Thursday night (Night before Valentiens day) and we had about a 10-15 minute wait for a seat. The food took about 30 minutes to arrive. Onion rings and fries were top notch, salad was your typical restaurant salad nothing special, and the rolls were comparable to Texas Roadhouse. Only negative that kept me away from a 5 star rating was the restrooms. Both men's and women's were in rough conditions. The women's stall barely had enough room for you to do a 360 spin. Other than that the family owned ambiance was relaxing and unique and the food was out of this world, must give it a shot, I know we will be back!

So I’m usually not one to write bad reviews nor right reviews in general, but I felt like something had to be said first off I tried to order online, but it did not give me the option to pay in cash I ordered $80 worth of food to go. Today was very rainy and I’ve been working really did not have the time to cook. I ordered chicken fajitas which the chicken was dry and it only came with a heaping pile of half raw onions and the other half look like they were reused no peppers and no onions? My toppings for the fajitas came all smooshed together wrapped up in a piece of foil. The Caesar salad that I paid $12 for I can’t even eat because the dressing taste like someone put fish inside of it and I also got loaded fries and the cheese was so hard that I couldn’t even pull the fries apart I have not been to Manny chophouse in years and sad to say I’ll probably never go back after this experience the best thing about the whole meal was the sweet tea. I haven’t even had a chance to taste the brownie. I don’t know maybe it’s better if you go in and sit down, but I was deeply disappointed today I expected more.

We always drive by this place and finally had a chance to stop. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the best experience. Toughest T-bone I’ve had. Ribs were dry & overcooked. Garlic Mashed Potatoes were yummy but crusty from being under a heat lamp. The dinner rolls were the best dish but the honey cinnamon butter was discolored from sitting out. For the price I expected more from the food.

Went back here for the first time in 8 years. Can honestly say the whole experience was fantastic start to finish. We were served by David who did a spectacular job. We had 1 starter 2 steaks and sides and all were the highest quality. Cannot recommend enough. I've spent 2 weeks in Orlando and this was the best dining experience I've had for such an incredibly affordable price.

Well, we got seated right away, but it took our waitress about 10 minutes to get to our table. The service was really slow. It wasn't too busy. The table beside us a of about 8 people got seated after us and had their food long before us.. I had to ask where my soup was , the waitress forgot about it. We finally got our food about 45 minutes after we were seated. We ordered the chicken fajitas, and it looked good, but the chicken was very dry. On a good note, the sweet tea was right on point . Our waitress was polite and cheerful, but I think she was overwhelmed.

This place is a local favorite. One always gets good food here. Came here for lunch recently after church with a friend. I got breakfast and he got lunch. I got the 2x2x2 which is two eggs two sausage to bacon and two pancakes with hash browns. Everything was good. He got the crab cakes which he enjoyed. Soup always comes with a meal. Even breakfast. Staff here is always friendly the service is generally always pretty fast and the atmosphere is very casual.

A great family diner serving breakfast, lunch and (recently) dinner. We went on a Sunday morning and we're lucky we got there when we did because there was a wait shortly after, and a ton of people waiting by the time we left. Service was fantastic, and our food came our very quickly once we ordered. Everything was cooked perfectly. I got the corned beef breakfast with eggs, hash browns and a biscuit, and my boyfriend had the stuffed French Toast with blueberries. Portions were large, and prices were reasonable.

Great spot for breakfast or dinner. Nice local vibes. We’ve driven by so many times on the way to gigs south that we’ve never stopped. We had a show in Lake Wales at the Sugar Barn and spent the night in town. So glad we finally ate here. Cierra was very attentive and friendly. I had the Shrimp & Grits (I got it without bacon). I really enjoyed my meal. We’ll keep that in our rotation of breakfast places.
Alvaro T — Google review
8/10/2025 We have been here a couple times for breakfast and it has always been good as was this time. There was just a couple things that were off this visit. First, I asked to substitute bacon for sausage in my omelette and they charged me $1.50 on our bill. If I had known that, I would not have substituted. Second, I asked for no cheese and there was cheese in the omelette. I noticed the waitress forgot to put it on the ticket. I understand they were busy so I didn’t say anything. I just scraped it out because I didn’t want to waste the food. If you like biscuits and gravy, you will be happy with the sausage gravy! It has chunks of sausage in it and good flavor. This is where the locals eat. Waitresses are friendly, food is hot, good portions. Will go back.

This is a great place to start your day. It's a very nice family diner. They have all of the breakfast classics and daily specials. Our service was very friendly. They were extremely busy, and our waitress still provided great service. The food arrived in a timely fashion, and everything tasted great.

Diner-style restaurant with plenty of seating & parking. Easy in & out on the main thoroughfare. Food was very good, menu had many options & servings were generous. I had the Texas Club & my husband had the Cuban, soup was complimentary. We were passing through on our way from east coast to west coast & would definitely stop again when in the area. It did look like a local favorite.
KHK — Google review
Lake Wales Family Restaurant – Disappointing from Start to Finish The food had absolutely no flavor—bland to the point of being forgettable. My wife’s smothered potatoes arrived with a hair in them, which was revolting. Her fork was visibly stained, raising serious questions about cleanliness. My biscuits and gravy had no flavor at all—just a mushy, tasteless mess. To top it off, I had to get up and look for my waitress just to pay the bill. Service was indifferent, and the atmosphere felt more like a waiting room than a welcoming dining space. If you’re looking for quality, flavor, or basic hygiene, this is not the place. We won’t be returning.

Bob Evans is a popular and rustic eatery that originated on an Ohio farm, renowned for its delicious homestyle meals and charming rural atmosphere. It is highly appreciated by patrons who are unable to find similar dining options in the vicinity of New York City. The restaurant is well-regarded for its delectable dishes and warm service.
Great experience, the waitress Jessica was super nice and the food exquisite. Recommend 100%

First visit ever to Bob Evans, like the sausage. It was late morning, so it was still a good breakfast time. It gave me that old countrytime feeling when Inwalked in. Not terribly busy. I got seated almost immediately, the server came over, older lady, looked tired with a touch of cranky pain face. She was pleasant enough, took my order and went on her way. My food came out at a very quick time. I ordered as they have it on their men the "new" Steak tips and eggs, yes similar to the pancake place menu. The difference is pancake place marinate the steak in a sweeter sauce, Bob Evans give you straight steak. Personally I like the straight steak better. It could use a better seasoning but good with steak sauce... I like sauce. Food was average basically what you would expect of a chain breakfast diner. If you are hungry and need to stop, I dont see a reason not to. The orange juice in the Mason jar was cute.
Chef K — Google review
Stopped by Bob Evans and had the best pot roast sandwich of my life—seriously, it was that good. The only downsides were the bathroom, which stank, and the service, which was a bit slow for how quiet it was, though our server was great when she was helping. My son’s cheeseburger came out more rare than I’d like for a kid’s meal, but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. Oh, and bring a jacket—it was freezing in there!

We had a great server, very friendly and accommodating. He MIGHT have been new, from the tiny mistakes, but his personality shined. The food was ok, and the banana bread was AMAZING! The only complaints are the dirty bathrooms and the dirty table that sat there dirty during our entire meal. If you train the servers about pre-bussing and FULL hands in and FILL hands out, the dining room would SPARKLE! Teamwork makes everything easier for everyone!
Renee A — Google review
Ate there last night for the vary first time. The food was great but the cook does need to pay a little more attention to the grill. One side was a little burnt. The staff was really slow on greeting us and we'll, seem to be not trained properly. Our waitress was great and stayed on top of everything. I will suggest not ordering the new Bacon side dish. It's NOTHING like the picture as seen in the pictures I have posted. For the most part we would eat at this chain again but just maybe not this one.
Tim T — Google review
I can't say much about food, we were never attended to. We waited about 20mins and never put an ordered in, just drinks. A lot of people were arriving and got their orders in. We did let the manager know and she was very kind and apologetic about it, which i appreciate but wouldn't go back. I feel bad about leaving this review but this js what happened to my husband and I.
Dayhana M — Google review
We ordered the biscuits and gravy with a side of home fries. We didn't have enough potatoes for 3 bites. Had to ask for another side of potatoes so we had enough to eat. The gravy was ok but we ordered bowls and we didn't get anymore gravy than if we would have just went with the cup. So sad, we love the restaurant but probably will not return to this place. Was pretty upset with our meal.

IHOP is a renowned chain that offers a diverse selection of pancakes and other classic American breakfast and diner dishes. Recently, I visited this establishment for brunch with a group of seven individuals. We were promptly seated by the efficient hostess, Sarah, who proved to be exceptional in attending to our needs, especially when it came to my young daughter and three older sons. Sarah took the time to guide us through the menu, providing detailed explanations about each item.
We were welcomed by Haley with a greeting and warm smile. She was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed but didn’t hover over us. She was a very pleasant server & if we visit this location again we would request to have her again.

IHOP’s chicken and waffles are consistently tasty and served hot. I’ve visited alone or with others, and the experience never disappoints. I highly recommend this location and will continue returning. My hope is for this restaurant to be recognized for its excellent service and food quality, not for individual praise.

We went to the IHOP in Lake Wales. Very friendly polite and patient. Our servers name was Sabrina, she was very accommodating and went above and beyond our expectations.

So after a tuesday night of debauchery, I awoke Wednesday to an ungodly need for some maple covered sustenance. I then decided to saunter on into this IHOP. I entirely underestimated this place due to previous experiences at other locations. My table was meticulously clean, stocked and well presented for having been during a rush. But that's not why we're here. My server Amanda was the most attentive breakfast slinger I have ever had the pleasure to be served by! Sweet, kind and very good at her job. With a warm smile and ready for me. She had coffee at the ready and a bandolier full of essentials, straws, creamer etc. My drink was never more than half empty, my food was the freshest I've EVER had at IHOP, due to her unwavering attentiveness, and hustle. I now have renewed faith in this chain because of her and her alone. Thanks Amanda, you deserve a raise and we need more servers like you. Always tip your waitress!! Especially if it's her.

Every time I ate here I’ve been disappointed. I dont know who the cook is but they need to find a new one, my pancakes were really good but I had ordered the 5 chicken strip plate and it only came with 4 strips.. I bit into it and the chicken didn’t even break but came off the breading and the broccoli I got as a side only came with 5-6 pieces I then asked for it to be changed for chocolate chip pancakes after waiting for 10ish minutes to be noticed then I had to wait another 30 to get my pancakes.. anyway the worst $45 I have ever spent. 0/10 do not recommend and will be cooking from now on

I walked into IHOP and was sat pretty quickly and greeted by Sabrina. She has such a bright smile. She went above and beyond To make sure I always had everything that I needed. She checked in regularly, which that is a definite brownie point on my end! She was just absolutely outstanding!!! I’ve been in the customer service business for over six years and you can really tell that she loves what she does. She’s such a bright light! If I were her boss, I would definitely be paying her more. Everyone else here is so dull compared to her. A+ to the max!!!

The Lake Wales Cheese Shoppe & Deli, situated by Hwy 17, offers a range of Amish meats, cheeses, and specialty items. Their sandwiches are exceptional, with an assortment of meats and cheeses that rival those found in a New York deli. They also serve Jewish Pooh boy sandwiches made with pastrami, corn beef, Swiss cheese on Amish white bread pressed to perfection. For those seeking Amish pork scrapple, they have that too!
Being new to town the Cheese Shop has been a hidden gem for us. Their deli meat, cheese and sandwiches are fresh and delicious. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area. Support small business. Tim and Grace are wonderful people.

Everyone was really kind and explained all the sandwiches they had and the potatoe salad and macaroni salad that was from Yoders a Amish place. My sandwich was good I did think they would have like different breads and a few more items to sell but it is nice and was good I will return. Was hard to find i drove bye it the first time. I was looking for a sign or flag flying saying were open but I found it and the owners Grace and Tim were there and very kind. My sandwich had a good portion of meat and was worth the cost Thank u.

Kualao Lao Thai Cuisine is a cozy restaurant in Lake Wales offering a diverse menu with generous portions at reasonable prices. The staff provides excellent service and is knowledgeable about the menu, which features detailed descriptions of each dish. The restaurant closes briefly in the afternoons for dinner preparations and offers ample parking. Despite its smaller size, there is plenty of seating available.
I was interested when I noticed this restaurant in Lake Wales not only had Thai cuisine but also Lao cuisine. While Thai food is easy to find, I've only seen Lao food offered in the Pinellas Park area, This not including larger cities like Miami or Orlando. I asked the owner to recommend something that would be very traditional, and she recommended the bamboo shoot soup. That's what it translated into English. The soup is spicy, and the spice level starts at medium. The soup includes pumpkin and other vegetables, as well as the bamboo shoots. It was very flavorful and hard to compare it to any other dish I have tried. We also tried a dumpling appetizer that was unique. My wife ordered a Thai dish, basil chicken, and it was excellent. They offer a variety of Asian teas, as well. The prices are very reasonable, and we really enjoyed our experience.

The wife and I are always looking for new Thai restaurants,throw in Lao food and you have a winning quinella. Super friendly owner. Food is wonderful. Started with the Tom Kah Kai soup. Fragrant coconut broth with lemongrass. Loaded with chicken and mushrooms. The summer rolls were fresh and packed with herbs and rice noodles,served with peanut sauce. The wife opted for the Massaman chicken. Fresh and hot off the stove,lots of chicken,potatoes and carrots in a flavorful broth. I went for the Kua Mee Lao. Stir fried noodles in a caramelized sauce topped with shredded egg,bean sprouts, cilantro, and scallions. Both dishes were outstanding and sharable portions. We ordered the mango purple sticky rice with coconut cream to go. It's probably a good thing. When we got home and opened it, there awaited a huge portion of some of the absolute BEST sticky rice with mango that either of us has tasted. This wa s the crowning glory to a wonderful meal. If you like Thai give this gem a try.

I wasn't sure what to order but the menu had detailed descriptions that were helpful. We tried 2 entrees and 2 appetizers and all were delicious. I included a pic of my entree but I can't remember what it's called. The atmosphere was relaxed and quiet.

I ordered the fried dumplings, crab rangoons, beet juice, and mango with coconut sticky rice for dessert, and every single dish was fresh and delicious. The dumplings and rangoons were perfectly crisp, the beet juice was refreshing and unique, and the mango sticky rice was the perfect sweet finish. The whole experience reminded me of eating at home—comforting, peaceful, and satisfying. I truly enjoyed my first visit here and can’t wait to come back and try something new.

WOW, this place is a total gem. Truly authentic. Exceptional service and such friendly service! Everything tasted amazing too. Always start with the summer rolls, got vegetable. The red curry with chicken, Basil fried rice with beef, and the Kua Mee Lao with chicken. Summer rolls were great, fresh and cut into equal sizes. Peanut sauce was top notch. Much tastier and great consistency. Red curry was delicious. Slightly spicy, but full of flavor. Vegetables were so fresh! Rice was nice and fluffy too. Basil fried rice was so good. The beef added a ton of flavor. Rice was perfectly cooked nothing too over powering, the Basil balanced everything out well. Kua Mee Lao also tasty! Similar to the pad thai but slightly more soy/sweet. It was as creamy as the pad thai either but it's just as good I think. The place is nice and clean with a plenty of seating as well!

This has quickly become one of my favorite spots. Food and service is always great whether dining in or grabbing to go. I've tried a few dishes and I have enjoyed every one but the Pad Ka Pao Phet (Holy Basil Duck) is definitely my favorite.

Visited on a Thursday afternoon after exploring Bok Tower and Gardens. The restaurant is small and had just one server during our visit, who was kind, attentive, and friendly. We began with a beef dish that my husband adored, followed by the red curry vegetarian, which I found very flavorful and well-spiced. My husband enjoyed a duck dish, and we also tried the basil fried rice, which was the highlight of the meal. I had it with tofu, and it was both flavorful and delicious. For dessert, I had the mango sticky rice, which was excellent. Overall, it's a fantastic place for a taste of Thailand, and I recommend it.

The staff was pleasant upon arrival and the place is clean and attractive. When I got into the room, we found out that the TV did not work, many power outlets did not work, and when I tried to call the front desk to let them know, the phone did not work. I had already unpacked and did not want to take everything to another room, so we stayed. However, when I mentioned this to the attendant when we checked out, there was a definate lack of concern or offer to make it right somehow. Just the typical smile and thanks for coming. Probably will choose the hotel down the street next time I stay in the area. On a side note, the breakfast was good.

Ok so… I LOVE this franchise, but this store put a bad taste… I paid for the desert Banana Pudding which is the best and the lady at the register sell it to other costumers and another team member came with the order and two strawberries cheesecake flavor… I was shocked but I was enjoying my chicken! Also, y’all can do better with the mac and cheese, extra mega dry! Compare with the other stores at Denver in Kansas in Missouri and Georgia

I heard good and bad on this chicken place so decided to check it out. All I can say is the French fries were fresh and good. The chicken tenders are small I got a 4 piece and they were small one was mostly crust. The were just ok with flavor nothing great. The young lady that took our order wasn't the most friendly. I was asking questions because this was my first time there and she just gave me a basic answer nothing more. I liked the decor it was nice but no I think i tried it and won't return.

Beautiful location, great ambiance, very clean and friendly staff. Although the food wasn't amazing. I had the grilled chick's meal and wife had the same but traditional fried. It was simply okay. Great presentation but not delicious chicken. The fries on the other hand was amazing, and the toast was really good too with garlic and butter. The BBQ sauce was more of a vinegarette. Overall i love the vision but the main show the chicken isn't the star of the show.

Great people working at this location but I hate to say it but it must be the worst chicken sandwich I’ve ever had. Hopefully it is because they are having a bad day. I was looking forward to a great chicken sandwich. I loaded it up with mayonnaise to help it. Chicken was tough and bun was flat.

This was my first time visiting Slim Chickens, and I had an excellent experience thanks to an employee named Miracle T. Her customer service was outstanding. She greeted me warmly, walked me through the menu, shared recommendations (including what she liked best), and made the whole process easy. What stood out the most was how well she balanced multiple responsibilities—taking orders at the register while also cleaning tables and reorganizing chairs—all while keeping a great attitude. That level of professionalism and positivity is rare to find these days. To the management team: you have a great employee in Miracle. She made my first visit memorable, and I’ll definitely be back because of her service.

Tacos Riendos is a gem! This family owned business pours a lot of love into their food and service. My Mexican family is always so picky with their tacos, and they rave their tacos ~ plus you can opt for vegetarian options if you’re a fellow non-meat eater. PLEASE do yourself a favor and order their flan, it’s kinda like a mix of cheesecake and flan and soo creamy and delicious! I’m definitely a lifetime customer.

I lived in New Mexico for 7 years so I know good Mexican food. I've also stopped at pretty much every taco truck in the area around Frostproof and none, I mean, none of them can compare to what I had today. The corn tortillas were freshly made that morning, the meat was VERY tender and juicy... AND the homemade green and red salsa were to die for! My husband Dan (this is Caroline doing the review) had a burrito that was so big he had 1/2 for lunch and the other half for dinner. He said it was the tastiest he had ever had. Thank you so much Tacos Riendo for making our day! You guys are the BEST!

I was on delivery and decided to stop on the way back to Orlando to try their much advertised "Wawa has Pizza" Being in the restaurant business for 30+ years and a baker for 20+ years this product is to be avoided at all costs. The crust is like a burnt cracker. Very tough, and tasteless even with the garlic butter The sauce is a weird taste between ketchup and marinara sauce. The cheese is gluey. I'm not sure who the corporate chefs are at Wawa headquarters that spent all this time and money developing this product. I'm not sure what was in the heads of the decision makers that rolled out this product with millions in advertising This is just plain awful It's expensive also at $12.99 for 14" and $14.99 for a 16"

I would normally love to give this Wawa a good review but tonight I was highly disappointed with what I witnessed. A young girl accidentally dropped her drink as she tried to put her straw through the lid. Instead of getting a mop or even giving this young girl a rag to help, all staff ignored her and her two friends as they scooped the drink off the floor with their hands. Staff didn’t even blink an eye and all three kids were extremely polite and apologized multiple times! Staff didn’t offer a remake of the young girls drink even though she hadn’t even had a single sip. It was disappointing to see the staff completely ignore the whole situation and even when the kids said something they were ignored. I’m a manager in food service and I expect way more of my staff than that.

As the TV commercials say - this is a great place to get a quality fresh-made sandwich. Only downside is that some of their menu items have changed. Also, every time here - never a problem with the food. It just takes way to long to get a sandwich made. Allin all - still a great place to go.

As always my food was amazing. We're a big party of 8 and we typically come once a year, everyone agrees its a must every visit! For appetizers we got steamed oysters, they were amazing and fresh, as well as seafood nachos which I was very impressed with despite being a little hesitant, I ended up reaching for more and more! The fried mushrooms were also great, they're HUGE and the ranch seems to be made in house. I'd never had tuna in any form but canned 😂 but I do love tuna and decided to take a risk and try something new, so i got the tuna tataki. It came with a salad and break along with TWO SIDES, its SO much food. By the time i was done with the apps and salad it was nearly full! :) the tuna was amazing, i was worried it'd be raw but despite the pinkness it was cooked and flakey- no knife required. Super delicious. If you like Tuna and steak, you'll love this! The drinks were also reasonably priced and STRONG, I got the swamp water and it was delicious. Our waitress, Summer, was super patient, helpful and kind. Along with being a big party we also have several people with disabilities who need assistance with ordering, she was very accommodating with our requests and didn't make us feel pressured or rushed. She recommended how I get my tuna cooked (I had no idea what to pick), and she had amazing taste. We all were very impressed with her and her attitude! Thank you Summer!! 💜

Came for dinner for our anniversary. There was a guitarist playing and the volume was perfect. Not too loud, so you could enjoy background music and still hear to talk. The waitresses were friendly and helpful with suggestions. We ordered surf and turf with scallops. The scallops were barely warm but they replaced them with fresh hot ones. The Grooper was lightly blackened as requested and had good flavor. The hush puppies are in between herb and sweet but are good. They have plenty of covered outdoor seating and indoor seating. There is an additional bar with pool tables but there is smoking inside that room so we didn’t go in. You can see the alligators in the water which is neat. Surf and turf - Delicious Grooper platters- very good Will go back

We dined outside on cover patio in the back. I grew up around and watched this place grow to what it is now . I took my girl there because she had never been. it was hot out but fans were blowing, it florida it's always hot. And we choose to sit out there We order drinks and oysters and fried green tomatoes for apps. Oysters were delicious, nice and cold. Buttery deliciousness. The tomatoes were just alil over cooked to our liken, but still good. My only suggestion would be to sprinkle some parm and parsley over them to make them pop. My girl ordered the steak and that was one of the best steaks we had in a while. 10/10. I ordered a pound of crablegs. 7/10 steamed for to long but still delicious, just couldn't eat all the meat because it was like jerky. Again no worries. It was still great . We ordered a bucket and mixed drink. Both were kinda weak . Again our opinion, drinks were tasty. Over all it was nice and we left full . Over all rating is 8.5/10

Food didn't take very long, they serve free bread & butter, and bring the salads quickly. We had the Beef & Mushroom Risotto, which was rich in flavor and perfect texture.

I ordered the shrimp fettuccine, mom the spaghetti with meatballs and Cousins split the eggplant with a side dish of spaghetti. The portions were more than enough for one person. Authentic sauces made for a pleasant taste. Our waitress was attentive for refills and definitely getting us to go boxes. It was our first time there and was very happy for it to be 1st of many. Can't wait to go again.

Great place for food and gatherings. The service was top notch and the ambiance was so nice. The outside of the restaurant is deceiving though. You'd never know it was a restaurant from the outside. Love the special 3 course selection and price.

I took my sister and nephew to lunch today and it was amazing! 🤩 Angela was our server, she was very attentive and took great care of us. Our steaks were perfect and that pecan cheesecake was out of this world! I worked here years ago and I was so glad to see how well the business is still doing! We will definitely be back!

Was unexpectedly surprised by our visit on a Tuesday night, in the off season. The food was pretty good, but the service from Kayla, aka “Slim”, was probably the best I’ve had since moving to Polk County 20 yrs ago. Evan though she had 10+ tables, Kayla managed to provide each one with her vibrant, personal touch. Friendly and engaging, you’d never know she was slammed while she managed each table effortlessly. I had the Prime Rib, Hubby had a Burger with battered fries. Everything tasted fresh and the table side salad (bottomless) with House garlic ranch dressing was tasty though not overpowering. The yeast rolls with cinnamon butter were a pleasant surprise. Though limited in selection, the pour on my glass of wine was generous. Not what I expected from a Lake Wales establishment at all. The atmosphere was pleasant, and although we were there until 15 mins after closing, no one made us feel rushed at all. Plenty of food left over. With a $65 tab for two (Prime Rib is expensive yall) we definitely felt like we got our money’s worth. Look forward to coming back again soon. Since we travel for work, it will probably be next week. The menu is extensive, with something for everyone.

The food was prepared very quickly and was delicious. The service was above and beyond, Kayla (Punkin) was very personable, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is very family-oriented and a pleasure to dine in. The restaurant is kept very clean and looks amazing. We had the filet mignon with mashed potatoes, pork chop ribeye with sweet potato, chicken parmesan with fettuccine alfredo, Caesar salad with grilled chicken and chicken breasts with bacon, cheese and barbecue sauce.

We met with a group of 9 friends, and they put our group in the "private VIP" room. It was awesome. It allowed us to truly enjoy the time with our friends. We were not rushed or felt pressured to "hurry up." The restaurant size is deceiving. It is much bigger than you think! The decor is amazing! Highly recommend this place!

Norby's Steak & Seafood is a laid-back dining spot that offers classic surf 'n' turf dishes in a simple indoor-outdoor setting. The restaurant is known for its fresh oysters, crab, and alligator prepared to order. Guests appreciate the rustic ambiance and friendly service. While some feel that the cleanliness and food service could be improved, many rave about the delicious meals, including favorites like bowtie alfredo pasta with collard greens and corn.
What a cool place but to find out it may close due to owner being sick. Very good steak and cool place you would not expect! Go there while you still can.

This is an old, hole-in-the-wall joint which we usually like. This place takes it to a whole new level as we weren't sure how it is still standing from the actual holes in the walls. I actually was afraid a snake or something would come slithering in from outside. The menu is hand written and kind of difficult to understand. My husband got the ribeye and I ordered the fried combo of fish and shrimp. All dinners come with a veggie, a potato, salad and garlic bread. Garlic bread was ok except there was no garlic. Salad was fresh and served on a plastic plate. My fried fish and shrimp was very good. The green beans that came with it were not. We both took one bite, couldn't stand them and set them aside. His ribeye had an "ok" flavor, but was tough. The food came out in a timely manner, but we had to ask for refills on our drinks. Entrees are $25 - $50 here. DEFINITELY not worth the money. Much better food can be found elsewhere for much less money without the sketchy surroundings.

The quaint ambiance lends itself to a nice rustic meal. Loved the service and food. French dressing is a Catalina French which isn't quite as tasty as Red Lobsters used to be but still good. The garlic bread was delicious and a nice addition to my bowtie alfredo pasta with collard greens and corn. The sweet tea was on point with flavor and was not over brewed. The sweetness level is off the charts so if you enjoy a lightly sweet tea, you will want to order half sweet half unsweetened tea. Overall a great experience and would eat at again!

Had an excellent experience last night for dinner. Appetizers were awesome. My steak was perfect as well as the scallops and shrimp.

We had previously driven by and they were not yet open, but food smelled great. We went today for my husband's birthday, a Thursday night. We arrived and signed in at 6:30pm, we didn't get seated until about 7:45pm. There were multiple tables that required bussing. There was no social distancing or masks worn by the staff. We wore masks, and a few other customers, but not all. We ordered "Lobster Bites" for an appetizer. This was sad, misleading and gross. It was NOT lobster, it was Langostinos, doused with garlic butter on french bread that was toasted (WTH??) Then for entrees my Snow Crab Legs had a substantial fishy smell (seafood should NEVER smell fishy!). And my husband's Baby Back Ribs were dry. Our entire meal was disgusting. The best part of our meals was the salad. I will NEVER go there again, and I will tell everyone I know not to go either.

Great price on surf and turf (filet mignon & shrimp) with their coupon offer. The Haddock was a bit disappointing but loved the shrimp that came with it! Great service and cool atmosphere with the plants and "greenhouse" kinda setting! Heck when they finish up with complimentary cheesecake, I'm a happy girl 😊

Nestled along the picturesque Kissimmee River, Smokehouse On The River is a charming eatery that promises a delightful dining experience. With its beautiful atmosphere and friendly staff, it’s an inviting spot for families and friends alike. Although there may be a slight wait during peak times, like Friday nights, the delicious appetizers—such as gator tail and wings—make it worthwhile.
Cool little barbeque place right on a leg of the Kissimmee River. Service is extremely quick and the views from the dining area are very nice. Just outside of the dining area is the River Ranch Marina where you can book airboat rides. Good BBQ is pretty hard to come by in Florida, and this place is definitely above average! Three brisket isn't dry, which is a problem I see again and again in this state, and the burnt ends were great! I also really enjoyed the ribs. I definitely recommend the cole slaw, if that's your thing, as far as sides go. The baked beans are very good as well, and so is the potato salad. Overall, we all really enjoyed our meal! Pro Tip: Not every beer available is listed on the kiosk menu. Ask a server if you want something else. I had a really good double IPA (called Dad Bod) from Three Daughters! As far as I can tell, it's the only place at the resort with legitimate craft beer.

This Smokehouse offers a scenic dining experience with delicious BBQ. The brisket and burnt ends was a standout, and the service was friendly. The location on the river provides a relaxing atmosphere. It's worth a visit if you're looking for good food and a nice view. The ordering experience was very quick. (Disappointing lack of vegetarian choices, though.)

My husband and i got the ribeye which was great and the kids all enjoyed their kids menu items. This was our first time here and they were definitely understaffed... But who isnt right now!!!

The ride out to this place was amazing. Rode the bike up from Aventura. Maybe my expectations were a bit high.. but service was okay and the wait time was pretty long. Seemed like all the buzzers went off at the same time and the pick up window was stormed . I ordered the two meat one side. Brisket , pork and Mac n cheese. The mac was delicious. The brisket , I've had way better. It was thinly sliced like bacon and pretty tough. Not what you'd expect from smoked all day long brisket. The pork was, well, mediocre. The sauces on the other hand was phenomenal. Glass of water 🤢 . If you go drink bottled as the fountain drinks are made with the tap water . Disgusting . But hey it was hot and having ridden 200 plus miles , I was thirsty. Not a spot I would recommend to eat at. Sorry. Just being honest 🤷. And for 25 bucks, there are better options available im sure.

If you're on the hunt for a barbecue experience that truly satisfies, look no further than Woody's Bar-B-Q. This charming eatery in Lake Wales is renowned for its generous portions of smoked meats, making it a go-to destination for BBQ lovers. From their mouthwatering baby back ribs to the savory Carolina pulled pork and Texas beef brisket, every dish bursts with flavor.
Our family stopped by after church and even though it was really busy, the service was quick! We ordered brisket, baby back ribs, corn, beans, and coleslaw, and everything was delicious. The portions were perfect for sharing, and the food quality was excellent. The staff was friendly, and we’ll definitely be back!

As a newbie in the area of Lake Wales in Polk County, we find Woody’s as one the best places to eat… Their portions are large, the flavor of their food is ‘home cooked’, Kayla our server was nice and not overly ‘attentive’. We’ve been in this place twice already in two weeks :) - I love their prime rib it wasn’t thick and dry, plus there is a lil bit of fat.. my husband didn’t like it ‘coz he likes it thick and medium rare. Also, we like their spare ribs bbq and the cinnamon butter spread for the bread was to die for ❤️

I stopped in today and was blown away from start to finish. The place was spotless — inside, outside, and even the restrooms were extremely clean. I was greeted right away by a friendly host and seated quickly. My server, Abigail, was incredible! She had a fun, bubbly attitude and really seemed to love her job. She brought my drink super fast and was great at answering all my (many!) questions about the menu with honesty and confidence. She kept my drink full and checked in often to make sure everything was perfect. The food came out in under 10 minutes — talk about efficiency! I ordered the lunch brisket with coleslaw, beans, and cornbread. The brisket was tender, juicy, and so soft I could cut it with a fork. The beans and coleslaw were flavorful, and the cornbread had a great texture — not too dry, just right. All in all, Woody’s BBQ is top-notch from front to back. Great service, great food, and a great atmosphere. I highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area — you won’t be disappointed!

My partner and I wanted to try a new place having moved to the area recently. I get very sick if I have gluten. Trying to do our due diligence, we called the restaurant and asked a number of questions before deciding if it would work for me. I ordered the 3 meat salad, with no croutons and blue cheese. Should be simple and totally fine to eat. We drive 30 minutes to pick up our order. After taking the hour round trip back to home, I found croutons all over the salad. Not just on top, but in between and on the bottom of the container as well. We called promptly letting them know what had happened with our order and we were wanting to sort out some sort of refund since I was not able to eat my meal. We were told that we could receive a credit for a future visit (no) Or that we could drive the salad back 30 minutes, even though it showed on the receipt that “no croutons” hadn’t even been typed in as a modifier for the meal. Tomorrow, we will be driving the salad back for our last visit to Woody’s BBQ.

The well cooked ribs were thick, juicy and tender but their sauces don't stand up to my standards. I tried all three but each one missed its mark The cole slaw looked delicious but it had an old cabbage head taste. The fries were good; a suggestion is to add a pinch of smokey paprika to them.

First and last time . The sliced Turkey is as if it came from a can . ( think canned ham) The fries were soggy , slaw was runny and warm. The fried okra was overcooked big time .

Chili's Grill & Bar is a fantastic family-friendly dining destination that beautifully blends classic Tex-Mex and American cuisine within a charming Southwestern-style ambiance. Families flock here for its appealing lunch specials and the popular 3 For Me deals, which offer great value comparable to fast food options. The attentive service from staff like Jessie and Lisandra enhances the experience, ensuring guests feel welcomed and well taken care of.
I ordered the 3 For Me chicken bacon ranch quesadillas. The portion sizes were large so I ended up taking home leftovers. The service was very fast even though they were busy. The noise level was low so we could have a good conversation without struggling to hear each other. There was plenty of seating. I did not find one negative - the experience was great!

My family loves coming here, and with the lunch or 3forme deals, it's just as much as McDonald's. Our server, Jessie, was wonderfully attentive. The atmosphere was very family friendly also. It took us by surprise when another group asked us to let them buy our meals. We made sure to pay it forward. What a blessing they started! I definitely recommend the dip trio with both queso options and the guac! I'm not a fan usually, but this was fresh and delicious.

First, the music was so loud in the dining area that people were talking loud to hear each other making it even louder. The floors & tables were sticky! There was not a lot of people in the restaurant at the time we entered so when I requested a booth for the two of us, I was shocked that not only did they seat us in the section full of families & kids but at one of the half booths! Normally I don't mind sitting near the families but there was quite a few booths over on the other side which was mostly all adults! I should have spoken up but didn't! So the half booth does not have a table big enough to hold a appetizer platter & dinner plates with drink glasses! It was very uncomfortable & not necessary! I ordered the Skillet Beef queso with warm chips, they came out immediately which I was excited until I started eating them & realized the chips were cold & the dip was room temperature. Our waiter was friendly enough but disappeared so I ate a couple of chips until our meals came. We couldn't even eat what we ordered. It was gross! My husband ordered chicken crisper combo. He said the mac & cheese was not edible tasting like it sat in a pot all day & chewy. The chicken was dry. I ordered the chicken bacon ranch quesadillas. The lettuce in the center of plate was wet & wilted, the Pico I didnt eat as the tomatoes in it were white & it looked watery, which seemed weird as if this meal was someone else's before me & they reheated the plate with everything on it! I couldn't eat the queso's as the cheese was so burnt inside it was hard & dry & the chicken was dry as if it had been microwaved several times!!! I tried dipping it in the sour cream but it was too gross! We had not been to Chili's in over 25 yrs & thought we would give it a try. It was a waste of $60.00 for 2 people!!!! The waiter had asked us to leave a good review. I started the review at the restaurant but then before I could write what was wrong, the review left the screen. We belong to a group that likes to go out monthly to local restaurants, we will NOT be recommending this restaurant!!!

The food was good. - Large portions. Cooked nicely. We sat in the bar area- the service was fine. We didn't have to wait long. The food came out in a usual amount of time. A couple very minor issues with the plating (no dressing, and put pickles on although we asked to have them removed). Everything was clean. We were so cold that I had to go to the car and change clothes (we were traveling so I had extra) and my husband had to put on a jacket (this is highly unusual). We left faster than usual due to the temperature.

We like finding local spots and were driving by. We parked at 12:30 and and went in to a "seat yourself" booth. A waitress asked what we wanted to drink and brought us each an iced tea. A different server came by to take our order. I ordered the liver and onions dinner and my companion ordered the chicken fingers dinner. We both had salad with ranch dressing. The ranch was thin and runny and came in a plastic container. The second server couldn't wait to plop down our salads so she could converse with the table to our south. My companion said it was more like a frisbee toss. Our entrees arrived at the table 12:51. My liver and onions seemed to have been floured and then cooked too long as there was black residue attached to the liver. The potatoes were a bit lumpy, so that means they weren't instant. The chicken strips were overcooked and very dark as you can see in the picture provided. The fries were nothing special. The server didn't come back by the table for 15 minutes. She did converse with several other tables while leaving us alone. So much time passed that sending the chicken back would have been counterproductive to our day. I did notice the servers making to-go drinks for the other tables, but we were not offered this courtesy. I would not recommend to anyone who is not a regular/local that is in good graces with the help.

What an experience we had at lunch!!! My husband and I chose this as a central location to meet up, and decided to stay for lunch after reading others reviews. So glad we did. The restaurant staff welcomed us with warm smiles from the moment we walked through the door and we were treated more like old friends than just customers. Brittany was our server (Hope I’m spelling it right) and she was FANTASTIC!!! The food was all delicious and we will definitely be back. Shortly after we entered, the restaurant sat down one of the worst storms. We have been in any long time, rolled through town and continued for quite some time, much to the shock of every single one of us lightning struck very close and knocked out some of the local abilities, including telephone lines and data cables. The staff at the restaurant handled everything beautifully, made everybody feel safe and didn’t skip a beat. Thanks again, see you all the next time we pass back through.!

Messy place. Ordered Greek salad look what I got- spinach, olives and cheese. Missing 3 ingredients out of 6 When I called to asked the lady had the audacity to tell that they make two kinds of Greek salad I should have told them to add tomatoes and cucumber. I ordered from their menu and clearly is only one type of Greek salad. The audacity and the arrogance from these ppl I ll never order from here again

Hands down the best pizza I’ve had in a long time! The flavor was incredible — true New York style, perfectly cooked, and absolutely delicious. My mom even said she felt like she “died and went to heaven” after her first bite! The service was just as impressive — quick, friendly, and attentive. Our food came out fast, piping hot, and everything tasted amazing. Giovanni’s New York pizza has definitely become my new go-to spot in Winter Haven. Highly recommend!

The restaurant is well-known for its delicious jumbo wings, which come in twelve different sauces. In addition to the wings, they also serve Angus burgers, salads, sandwiches, wraps, tacos, bowls, and more - all with an Irish twist.
My kids and I eat here all the time, it’s definitely my go to place when I want a good burger! lol but for the first time I brought my dog with my kids and I as well! The service was great and the server brought my dog a bowl of water right away! She got her order right in and the food right out and it was perfect as ordered! I come here often and get the chips and I do notice that often the chips are overdone a bit, but I don’t mind because I still like them toasty and when my daughter gets curly fries they are always very good but they’re usually broken up a bit and not like they were tonight! Tonight they were completely awesome! Almost every single fry was a complete curly fry and bouncy and lots of fun! And my chips were cooked perfectly! And season nicely as well! so whoever is the fry is doing a great job! The waitress said that they have been there about a week and I told them to please let them know that you’re doing awesome! We will be back again soon

Seemed like an old Pizza Hut. Still needs a little updating. First time I ever saw a TV in Bathroom, but bathroom wasn’t very clean. The positives were our wonderful waitress and the food. The wings were probably the best I ever had (dry rub salt and pepper) and the Tampa Cuban was perfect. Highly recommend this place.

No sauces with combo appetizer which should have came with 4 different dipping sauces! Very disappointed! Then they didn’t put anything on the funnel fries which is supposed to come with caramel or chocolate for dipping. We chose chocolate. This is the 3rd time they screwed up our online order! Told my husband to check everything but he wasn’t thinking of the sauces that we paid for. Even gave them a tip! Guess ppl just don’t seem to care anymore or do their actual job! My family was disappointed. Definitely won’t order online from them again.

We ordered Instacart and I received boneless wings that were extremely hard. I couldn't even stick a fork in it. I ate literally 3 pieces that weren't even that great... But after spending almost $80 on 3 meals, I was very disappointed. I swear I choose traditional wings because I never buy boneless, but apparently that's what I got regardless. They were horrible.

This afternoon my friend and I stopped in at beef o Brady's for a bite to eat. As usual I sat in the screened in patio. I saw a dog turd in the middle of the floor upon arrival. Our waitress took a few minutes getting to us. When she arrived I pointed out the dog turd and asked if dogs are allowed in. I expected the dog turd to be removed. It never was íand I could not finish my meal. I had to take it home and I did not even get my tea refilled. I order a Cuban and the 1985 salad and eat it all but the dog turd ruined my meal. It was super nasty and even though I pointed it out no one picked it up

Always a great experience. Food is delicious and always gets to you hot and fast. Great sweet tea and servers! I had just gotten ALL of my teeth extracted less than a week before (I'm getting dentures), and was still able to eat my whole meal- tender ribs, soft bread and a great baked potato!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Had the "Platter for 2" and it was AWESOME! As a chef, I love good value for money and Fat Boys Bar-B-Q doesn't disappoint. Our platter was loaded with smoked sliced Beef, Pork and Chicken, Ribs, Chicken Wings, Smoked Turkey, Beans, Slaw, a mountain of perfect Fries and Garlic Toast! There were 2 of us and we had to take some home! (and we came HUNGRY!) I really love the Bar-B-Q Sauce here, it's among my Top 5 All Time Sauces. Wish I could take a bottle or 10 home, they'd make great Holiday presents to my family, scattered all over America! Awesome!

I’ve eaten here a few times over the years and food was always on point and awesome. Today I took my family here after going to nearby annual 39 mile yard sale we were hungry! Pulled up got bad vibes kitchen staff outside chilling and vaping . We got greeted and seated promptly. Server was great and had our drinks out to us promptly even did great with refills ! Took almost an hr to get our food after order was placed . Most of our order was cold even the fries BBQ flavor was mediocre at best . I don’t know what happened to this old little Florida gem but Maybe need to freshen up their management and kitchen staff . Location is probably difficult to find dedicated workers that actually care anymore. I gave 3 stars because even though it was cold food it wasn’t the worse I’ve ever had . I would have rather spent my $90 somewhere else though.Only thing positive were the server and the portion sizes .

They gave me a unmarked bottle of ketchup and I put it on my burger and then she told me it was hot barbeque sauce. I also recieved a soggy bun dripping water on my burger. My friends chicken was bloody and the bathrooms were disgusting and the toilets moved forward when you sit down and the toilets don't flush. The cheese smells like mold and the beans smell like chemicals. Don't ever bring your family here unless you want food poisoning.

We all order their T-Bone Steak but with different sides, except the corn. The corn was cold, guess they didn’t microwave it enough. All steaks were cooked as ordered and well seasoned. But the Texas Toast was oily and my toast was over toasted. The Ice Tea was too sweet so I order 50/50 with Lemon Aid but order refills 3 time and each one was different. But the service was great, can’t hold the server responsible for what the cook does, but they could have made the Ice Tea the same at least. They would have the 5 Stars for Service this is why they only received 4. But the front side was clean, the bathroom I would say needed attention. But for being in Lake Wales it was really the only restaurant, everything else was fast food chains.

Food was decent. Our server ELEXIS was horrible, no sense of urgency. It took her over 5 minutes to even greet the table. She only had 2 other tables and they already had their food. She never came back to ask how the food was. I received 5 small onion rings as my side and I asked her if that was a normal portion. She replied “I think so I don’t work in the kitchen that’s what the cook gave me”. Never brought syrup for the pancakes. When I reminded her to bring it since we were then ready to leave she had an attitude about it and took her time getting it. Manager didn’t care to ask why we were upset. Another server asked if something happened and I told her a lot happened. “Oh” is the response I got and the manager didn’t care to ask what happened. Paid and left, will never return to this location.

Unbelievable. Worst tasting food ever. Place was filthy. Place empty. Waitress said they don’t have any hamburgers left among other things. The only thing decent was the orange juice. $13 for an omelette. Manager asked if he could fix us another one . We said no since our first order took over 35 minutes for breakfast. We heard the cook say he doesn’t know how to cook meat. On top of that waitress said toaster isn’t working would we like it grilled. I will NEVER return. $38 for 2 disgusting breakfast.

Pretty disappointed with this place. They are serving less than half of the milkshake for the same price of $5.59. The “new” serving is almost a kids size now. What they served is not even close to what they advertised on the menu. Got to compare with the one in Poinciana and shakes are $4.99 plus they serve the advertised portion. This specific one is lead by thieves.

Simply not impressed. The one server was very sweet and was also the bartender, but there were only about 10 people total there for lunch on a Saturday. We waited 40 minutes for an appetizer and a sandwich. The food was ok, but nothing to get excited about and the tomato on my sandwich was old. The entire place felt unkept and dirty. They charge a fee for paying with a card which is a huge turn off for me.

This is a nice and quiet little family-friendly sports bar. The food portions are huge and the drinks are cheap. The burger could have been two sandwiches easily. I ordered the hurricane chicken, and while it was pretty good, i would have liked the barbeque sauce to be something more original. It tasted like any plain old store bought sauce. There's games and pool tables to keep everyone entertained. We'll definitely give this place another try. The menu had a lot of options that sound amazing!

Junior's Fish Market is a no-frills establishment that offers both cooked seafood for onsite dining and fresh fish for purchase. Located in Polk County, it is renowned for its exceptional quality and freshness of seafood. The menu features delectable dishes such as mahi and crabby cakes, which receive rave reviews from customers. Although prices may be higher, the superior quality of the fish justifies the cost.

Surprisingly delicious and fresh! You have to get the raw oysters. I never had any at that fatness and freshness before. They can make many things for you that is off the menu, like the calamari they made per my request. Shrimps and fish are so good. Excellent and super friendly service! We wish we can stop by again on the way back home but unfortunately, they close on Sunday and Monday! Absolutely will come back next time.

Great ambience, small restaurant, service was great. Took some time but there was only 1 server, she was amazing. The only negative and is not a big deal, they only have 1 dessert on their menu and when we ask about it, server told us is first come first serve and no other option. And she apologized that they have run out and this was during Lunch time. I need to arrive early. Lol… But I must say food was delicious and I will come back and hopefully get to taste your super popular Key lime pie!!! It was my first time and I really enjoyed it my wife loved her shrimp pasta and my Lobster Roll wow, haven’t had such amazing roll in a long time… I ordered it with sweet potatoes fries, server suggested a special dipping sauce, OMG, amazing… Also the fish dip is a must..

North of Lake Wales on Florida 17 lies an old Florida Roadhouse called Al's Place. Since Ruby likes Chili dogs and we were in the area, we stopped in. It doesn't look like much from the outside, and the inside is decorated with historic front pages of famous events. A group of regulars were at the unique elephant table. Ruby had a regular chili dog, I had a slaw dog and a sauerkraut dog. We shared an order of onion rings. I had 2 mugs of draft beer, and Ruby had ice tea. The food was good, but a hint, the sauerkraut is cold on the hot dog. They will heat it upon request. There's a stage in the backyard where they have live music. Saturday is bargain day with reduced prices. Carrie, our waitress, was very friendly and efficient.

Stopped by at about 430 to pick up 3 dinners. No beans no cornbread, no potato salad, no pulled pork. Only Mac n cheese for side. Chicken lacked flavor but was juicy. Ribs were tender. Over all a bit of a let down.

I have stopped here three times I never got to try the ribs, finally got to try the ribs was worth it along with some sweet potato pie and a Coca-Cola all for $10 definitely worth it

Let me start by saying this is some seriously good food. Don’t pass by Rufus ribs without stopping!! This husband and wife duo are the sweetest thing, you can tell all their food was made with love. Rufus was out on the smoker, while his wife took orders and prepared the food. The food is home cooked every day and boy was it good. I got the chicken and rib dinner 10/10. The collard greens and cornbread were equally as excellent. They make sure to give you plenty of sauce too which I love!! If you’re passing by or just haven’t been here yet, you need to go!

If you're visiting in Lake Wales, FL, go on 60 East off US 27 right after 17B on the north side next to Junior's Fish Market. Everything is home made and excellent. If you never thought about trying collard greens, you really have to try them. Four big pieces of ribs and 2 sides with the best cornbread, all for $10.00 each, Fri. & Saturday. Take it from a Snowbird.

La Botana Restaurant is a delightful gem that invites you to embark on a culinary adventure through authentic Mexican flavors. Open from 6 AM to 9 PM, this unique establishment combines the charm of a traditional eatery with the convenience of a mini mart. Here, you can savor expertly seasoned meats that rival those found in San Diego while also catering to vegetarian tastes with delicious options.
We live close by and that is a blessing! Our favorite order is burritos but we like to try other items. Awesome menu, authentic Mexican food served with love and an amazing staff! We will continue to buy at Ka Botana. Eating in is cozy and laid back but basic. We are close so usually bring the meal home and always enjoy. Give them a try and let your taste buds decide!

I usually come here every timeIvisitLake Wales, but thus time the food was not good. I asked for Carne asada tostadas, they gave me ground beef and insisted that it was carne asada! I asked for a "biftec" plate, which is steak, and I got a meet cut in small pieces full of onions and peppers.

If you are looking for a regular style restaurant. Not this place. This is your traditional Mexican store with a restaurant. You place your orders with the ladies at the food counter. Then you pay at the front counter. Once your food is given, make sure you ask for whatever it is you might need extra at the time. There is no follow-up once your food is served. You can always walk up to the food counter and ask for whatever you might need later. (To go containers) The food portions are generous, and the prices are fair. It is worth a stop if you're in the area and looking for a filling lunch. The look of the restaurant reminds me when you go to another country and eat where the locals eat. Does not look the best, but LA Botana definitely serves its purpose.
Gabe M — Google review
I wanted some Mexican food but didn't realize that it was a little grocery store as well. We weren't sure how to pay for our meal because the lady who took our order said to pay up front but never gave us a ticket or anything stating what we had and unless you speak Spanish it's difficult to communicate with the front cashier but we managed to pay for our food. Also there seemed to be an awful lot of flies in the little seating area.

I moved here from California and my husband and I think the food here is as good as that found in San Diego, which is pretty terrific. The secret here is the meats, which are seasoned to perfection, though my daughter is vegetarian and she loves the food here too. Portions are large. An added bonus is you can check out the in house grocery store and pick up some Mexican candy for dessert or ingredients to make something at home. They even have a great selection of leather cowboy and work boots. The dining area is pretty typical for a traditional taqueria, nothing fancy. But then again, you are here for the food, right?

Pizza Hut is a well-known chain that offers delivery, carry-out, and dine-in options. They are famous for their pizza, wings, and pasta dishes, as well as various sides and desserts. Despite some negative reviews about being understaffed and having longer wait times compared to fast-food drive-throughs like McDonald's, Pizza Hut consistently delivers delicious pizzas. The friendly staff adds to the overall positive experience of ordering from this establishment.
The hand tossed crust was delicious light and airy and crispy at the same time. It is $2 more for the pan pizza which was my favorite. They use the best mozzarella cheese available. Which made it a real treat from any pizza you can buy cheaper or make yourself. I suggest paying a little bit more to get a menu priced pizza at Pizza Hut

Its a hit or miss here. Sometimes food is hot and good. Sometimes its burnt & cold. Ive seen several ppl complain about burnt food while i was there as well, after waiting awhile to even get their order. They offer to remake it, which means waiting even longer. At times, they are short staffed. Which i assume causes unsatisfied customers, b/c one or two employees are running trying to do it all. They now serve lunch buffet. I hope it’s successful with the huge shortage of staff.

Food was not hot was warm cheesy bread was room temperature like been sitting out needed refills but didn’t get till we finished eating . There were only 2 families there so wasn’t busy this is the 3rd try I’ve done in 2 months I want be eating there again I still left a $20 tip I usually leave 40% or more depending on service. When you go out and spend $135 for pizza you expect a good experience and service. Never got our ranch dipping sauce menu says salads but they said they don’t serve salads here my advice go somewhere else

How does a restaurant, with tables, a "buffet", and built like a family dinner place is so understaff? Why even open? I went in laught at the situation for like 10 minutes and left. This joint is a joke and a sad one, the owner needs to wake up before they meet their demise. Didnt had any interaction with the employees but they look like good hardworking people.

The staff here was very unprofessional. I placed an order over the phone for two medium pizzas and went to pick them up through the drive-thru. When I arrived, they told me the cook forgot to put one of my pizzas in the oven. I asked for a refund, and the manager came to the window. I asked her which pizza had been cooked, and she told me the jalapeño and pepperoni — but that turned out to be a lie. When I got home, I found that the cheese pizza I received was completely burnt. I’m glad I was able to get my money back, but the experience was very disappointing. This level of disrespect and lack of professionalism is unacceptable. If they can’t handle being busy on a Friday, they shouldn’t be working.

My husband and I has not been to a Pizza Hut buffet for years. (Hard to find) Some we were so excited to try the lunch buffet. When we arrived and went up to the bar, there was nothing there but breadsticks. So we sat down thinking, we maybe there was a bigg rush and someone ate everything. I asked the waitress where the food was and she apologized saying that the cook is working on bringing food out. We sat waiting and around 20 minutes later the kitchen brought ONE small pizza out to the buffet and everyone sitting waiting for food ran up to the buffet for a slice. By the time we got to the bar everything was gone because there has been people sitting and waiting for something to come out of that kitchen. We should have asked for our money back, because it was not a buffet. It was a buffet without food. I'm seriously not making this up. After this, I'm never going to a Pizza Hut Buffet again. For $12.99 a person, I'm going to Golden Corral. At least they have salad.

My husband and I have been coming in this plaza for a while and this day we decided to try out this pizza place that has been here for twenty years. When we walked in we were greeted very politely and asked what would we like to order. We asked what their specialty was and they told us so that’s what we ordered. We immediately went home after we got the pizza to eat it while it was hot. The first thing I didn’t like was that the cheese was on top of the pizza toppings which I didn’t like because the toppings just fell off the pizza. Secondly the crust was hard and flavorless. I’m sorry for my opinion but that is truly how I felt. I even called the restaurant and asked if this is how all the pizzas are made and he said yes. He also told us he would take care of us when we came back in. We just decided we didn’t want to go back again.

You guys call this good pizza? Have you NOT been outside of polk county? This was the most nastiest pizza I've ever had in my life. This is a large? Cut up like this? 2 bites in, and the stench of "something is spoiled within this pizza" kept us from eating it. 60 dollars later for a pizza and 2 soggy "cannolis" drenched in dollar store chocolate syrup at 5 DOLLARS a peice is outrageous. If our dogs at least ate this pizza, I wouldn't have made this post, but even THE DOGS barely licked it, felt funny about it, and walked away from it. Door dash wouldn't at least do a partial refund. I definitely won't ever order from here ever again.

We ordered chicken wings in which the description says eight chicken wings and it is not 8 chicken wings for almost $12. That is ridiculous. It is four chicken wings cut in half. You guys need to fix that description because some people have a lot of people in their house and that's not enough food and they were small at that and we spend a lot of money on this $52.70 and with delivery it was $72.71 and we usually get white rice for free or something. we have ordered Chinese food in plenty of places and this is the only place that did not send us white rice. and when it comes to the chicken wings that has me very annoyed. and I forgot to order the soda and it said to add an item and I still had to order separately because it wouldn’t allow me to add it to my order and I had just placed my order and for a 2 L I almost paid seven dollars.

Burger King, a popular fast-food establishment renowned for its grilled burgers, fries, and shakes, offers exceptional service and delectable cuisine. On a recent visit around 2pm on August 18th, the staff members exhibited remarkable kindness, authenticity, and enthusiasm when taking orders at the drive-thru. The food itself was exemplary as well – it boasted excellent quality with a fresh taste that left no room for complaints.
Ordered a whopper in drive thru. I asked if they could make it fresh and they definitely delivered. My sandwich was so fresh and hot I could barely hold it. My toppings were also fresh and crisp. It was also neatly wrapped. Drive thru staff were friendly and courteous at both windows. If only the good could be like this at every fast food restaurant. Great job to this Lake Wales Burger King, afternoon staff. Today’s date is 4.8.24 (Also the day of the eclipse). I hope your boss gives you all praises for today 😉

This Burger King at 100 State Rd 60, Lake Wales, FL 33853 truly stood out from the rest! From the moment we stepped in, it was clear the team here takes pride in their work. The manager was an absolute expediting machine—double-checking every order with sharp focus and a commitment to quality assurance that’s rare to see in fast food. At one point, I overheard her tell a team member, “You know this is not the correct bun for this sandwich, and our customers are very intelligent—they might bring it back. If they do, it’s on you.” Without missing a beat, she turned and said, “Let’s redo this sandwich and ensure we’re following standards.” That right there says it all. Our sandwiches were made with precision—well-assembled, fresh, and exactly as ordered. The restaurant itself was spotless, including both the men’s and women’s restrooms. You could feel the difference in how the staff worked together. Great job to the entire team at this Lake Wales location for delivering a fast food experience that felt anything but average. Keep up the amazing work!

Every time we come through the drive thru the service is warm and welcoming. The workers are very polite and efficient during rushes. Sometimes the food could be warmer but we do usually come late and it’s a decent drive away. They’ve never gotten an order wrong and they always ask about condiments and offer me a crown because “I rule.”

The service here has gone down terribly, and so has the food over the years. The attitude of customer service comes across as if you owe them for doing their job. This is the second time I come within a month and the food is terrible. I noticed it ordering through the app. When I got home my sauce was opened. Not sure if it was tampered with? While eating the whopper I started feeling sick to my stomach. I didn’t eat it entirely. I have been sick all night, with pain in my stomach. I have decided as McDonald’s that Burger King is on my do not eat list. I hate doing this but twice in a month getting sick from it and the service was awful. I wonder if it has something to do because I ordered on line?

Horrible Experience at Burger King I recently had a dreadful experience at the Burger King. The employee named Tyler was incredibly rude and unprofessional, especially towards a 2-year-old child. My family and I were the only ones inside the restaurant, and my little one was quietly playing near our table. Out of nowhere, Tyler confronted us, telling us that he didn't care if the baby was just playing. His tone was harsh and completely uncalled for. When I tried to address his attitude, he became even more confrontational and dismissive. It's beyond disappointing to see such behavior, especially towards a child. This experience has left a very bad impression, and I will never be returning to this Burger King. Zero stars! Avoid this place at all costs if you value decent customer service.

Nestled in the heart of Lake Wales, Florida, Bill's Cafe is a charming little diner that exudes a cozy, homey vibe. This hidden gem has quickly become a favorite for locals and visitors alike. The breakfast offerings are nothing short of spectacular; patrons rave about the perfectly cooked eggs—smooth and silky without being runny—and crispy yet tender potatoes. The biscuits are also a standout item that leaves diners craving more.
Very nice people, the food is always great. The service is impeccable.

Great if you're looking for a no frills kind of meal! Service was great and food was in no way bad, just a bit expensive for what you get! I enjoyed the Cuban breakfast sandwich but would have enjoyed a fruit cup or something as a side for the 6.99 price! We will probably be back to try a few more meals!

☆☆☆☆☆ BILL'S CAFE is amazing! We love this little home-feeling, hole in the wall, diner! There is a drycleaning business, adjacent and connected to this place, located in the heart of Lake Wales, Florida's, historical downtown area. We eat here at least once a week and more often, if able, in the last year. Their grill-cook is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to flavor and food quality. The menu choices are standard diner foods, but the feeling you get, when you eat the food is like a touch of love from grandma! All of the staff is wonderful, friendly and accommodating, here. My favorite breakfast dish is the biscuits & HOMEMADE gravy... But, you must order the biscuit, GRILLED! I promise you'll never want a "soft" biscuit, ever again! The homefries are to die for! They're perfect and it's rare to find a perfectly, crispy on the outside, potato cube with a delectable mashed potato consistency on the inside! YUM! They have coffee, tea, soda pops, juices & h2o. They're open Monday thru Friday, for BREAKFAST & LUNCH, SERVICE. They're definitely closed on Sunday. There is Wheel chair access; Restroom available;They have highchairs available. You can order for take away. There's a little immediate parking available, with more spaces for parallel parking on the roadway, of Central Ave., just west of Scenic HWY/17. The picture attatched to this review, is of Country Fried Steak with your choice of White or Brown Gravy, served with Collard Greens, homemade Macaroni & Cheese, Garlic Toast, AND, access to the Salad Bar, for ONLY $6.99 !!!! I'm seriously eating my left-overs from this pictured meal, right now, as I type this review. YUMMY IN MY TUMMY! The other attatched photo is of a Rueben sandwich: Crispy toasted rye bread, with the perfect portions of corned beef, sour kraut, and 1000 island dressing! It was served with your choice of potato chips or fries... these are crinkle-cut fries. My husband said the Rueben, was perfect and that he'd absolutely re-order and recommend it... the Rueben is on the paper menu, while the Country fried Steak meal, was a daily lunch special choice. The prices are totally reasonable. The portion sizes are very filling. And, you WILL want to box your left-overs & take them home, because this food is GREAT, even on the seconds! :-) ♡ ☆☆☆☆☆ 5 STARS, ALL THE WAY, FOR BILL'S CAFE! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Went yesterday 4/13/2021 for breakfast. Our first time there. 24 hrs later I still can’t get over how perfect my eggs were. I’ve never seen an egg that perfect. Smooth and silky not runny at all. Just perfect. Potatoes were that great crispy yet soft and the biscuit. Omg the biscuit was so good. Roy you are perfection. Ramona our server was amazing. She gets you what you need and goes about her business and let’s you eat. Doesn’t come bother you 20 times while you’re eating to ask you how your food is. I hate it when they do that. All the way a five star. Now I can’t wait to try the lunch.

McDonald's, a renowned and enduring fast-food franchise famous for its hamburgers and French fries. They provided me with a table number to wait for my order, but after waiting for approximately seven minutes, I approached the counter to inquire about its status. To my relief, I discovered that my order had not even been registered on the kitchen's queue monitor. However, upon presenting them with my receipt, they promptly prepared my food within two minutes. The quality of the food was excellent.
This McDonald’s was really nice! I don’t even mind driving a little extra to come here instead of the one in Frostproof. The staff here treated me with respect and were very helpful. At the Frostproof location, they made me feel like I was just asking for free food when I was simply trying to use my points — the app was giving me an error. I really appreciate how this location handled everything the right way. Thank you!

Guy that took my order was not paying attention. Initially couldn’t hear him then he got my order wrong 2x then - when I went to the next window - the lady says “you ordered a cheeseburger & a lemonade, right?” I said “no, just a medium, unsweetened iced tea & lemonade”. She says “well, he charged you for a cheeseburger”.? I said “thank you for catching that but I would like a credit & she gave me the overcharge amount back. Thankfully the mature lady at the pick up window spotted the mistake, questioned it & corrected it. Guy who took the order needs to do better & pay attention!

Service terrible! No one at counter. Had to use kiosk. Kiosk not user friendly. Had to push on screen very hard to navigate. After completing and taking number, waited to pay with cash. While waiting, several other customers walked to counter and finally someone arrived, took their order and served their food before me. Managers have sour looks on their faces and staff look confused. I will never return to this establishment.

If the manager of this McDonald's is looking at this please tell your employees to work better on making food for us because when i order fries it looks like a medium fry instead of a large fry even though it's in a large fry box because it's not enough fries to even look large even though it's in a large fry box, it's unacceptable and $6 were paid for it please tell your employees to do their job better or i will stop choosing to get food from here!

Brake Burger Garage is an exciting new dining destination that has transformed a former gas station into a vibrant eatery. Guests rave about the friendly and welcoming service, making every visit feel special. The menu features delicious options, with many patrons favoring the perfectly seasoned chicken over the burgers. The grilled chicken sandwich and flavorful grilled onions on burgers are standout items, complemented by their signature sweet sauce. The atmosphere at Brake Burger Garage is inviting, with ample seating for everyone to enjoy their meals comfortably.
This was our first time dining at Brake Burger, and overall we had a great experience! The customer service was friendly and welcoming. The food was good, I actually preferred the chicken over the burger. The chicken was seasoned so well, and the fries were perfectly seasoned too (didn’t even need ketchup!). My husband really enjoyed his grilled chicken sandwich, and the grilled onions on my burger were amazing. The signature sauce had a sweet taste to it. We’ll definitely be back. Looking forward to trying the fried chicken sandwich next time because my son’s chicken tenders (from the kids’ meal) were absolutely delicious!

Very unique dining experience. Stopped in for lunch and was delightfully surprised. Onion rings are probably the best onion ring that had in the area by far. I felt the batter was just a tad bit salty for me, but others may like it that way. The hamburger was spectacular. I got this Brake burger which I think is the house burger because it’s named after the location. Washed everything down with a Mexican Coca-Cola. Highly recommend.

Came for the burgers - they have a slight twist on the usual burger styles and offerings so more variety to choose from. The crispy chicken sandwich was good. The beer pretzel burger was ok - the flavor of the toppings and beer cheese kinda got lost to be honest but the beef patty was tasty. My husband had the birria burger and said it was really good - too good to share unfortunately 🙄. The fried mushrooms were really good - the horseradish sauce was a delight. And the waffle fries are very good - nice and crispy. We sat outside in the beer garden, it looks really pretty when with the lights and seating. Ifbuou want and condiments, they are located inside. Theres a bar cart outside with a really good selection of beers, ales and seltzers - draft and cans available and fairly priced too. Would return for a different burger (maybe will finally get a taste of the birria) but the pizzas look super good too - again, have a twist on the usual menu offerings you find at other pizza shops so definitely gives something different and reason to visit!

A great burger find in Lake Wales if you are looking for a great local burger place better than the chain ⛓️ gangs. I ordered the burger of the month called the High Octane Burger, with coffee rub seasoning, coffee BBQ sauce, coffee infused sauteed onions, apple wood bacon, and provolone cheese. The burger was awesome but could have used a little more coffee flavor, salt and pepper to bring out the flavors. The burger was served with waffle style cut fries, the portion of fries could have been a little more. A former gas station turned into a stylish burger location is a cool concept but could use some air circulation to keep from getting too hot in the enclosure. The prices are very reasonable for the quality food products. Thank you for bringing a better burger option into the Lake Wales area. I will most definitely be making more visits.

Excellent food. Ample seating. The service was awesome! The food is hot, fresh and made to order! The portions are perfect! The price was great! The taste was incredible. Their sauces are mouthwatering! I live an hour away, but I will definitely be back! I’m glad this is near bok tower gardens! Less than 15 minutes! Pictured is the Garlic Burger and waffle fries 14$ for the combo- I got waffle fries, coleslaw is a choice, and a drink. The inside is a bit loud as it has industrial open ceilings to the kitchen. I could eat comfortably, but I would highly recommend take out or noise canceling headphones for those with sound sensory issues specifically to the beeping of a fryer.

Unique restaurant. Converted garage into a restaurant. Friendly customer service. Brake burger: moist, whole leaf lettuce non-shredded and thick cut of tomato, juicy burger patty very well-seasoned. Delish! The bun tasted more like potato bun, soft and fresh. Onion rings- definitely homemade instead of frozen. Well seasoned battered onion rings. Delish. Nashville Chic sandwich- not that spicy but the chicken is moist even though the chicken piece is deep fried with spicy batter. Average taste. Could have been bigger piece for the price. The prices are bit higher than regular burger joint. Chic burger was $8.99. A lot cheaper elsewhere. Burger was averaging $8-$10 each. That's before anything. Combo are over $11!. I guess the restaurant garage would like to consider themselves upscale burger joint. Tasty but pricy. You make the decision if you wish to pay a bit more for the taste. Like my comment if you enjoy the feedback. Thanks

We have been on the pizza journey through Winter Haven, Dundee, Lake Wales, Lake Alfred trying all the pizza joints. We hit this one a couple weeks ago in the Eagle Rdige mall. We had high hopes based on the exterior and beautiful display of pizzas. We ordered two salads and several pieces of pizza to give everything a fair try. Unfortunately, many things fell short for us. The salad, I ended up picking half of it out because it was brown, wilted or old. There were a fair amount of toppings on the salad but the lettuce was yuck! The pizza was again full of toppings but the base was not there. Barely any sauce and lacking flavor. It was just incredibly bland and disappointing. Much like the actual mall it is in. If you are going to eat there get it to go. The mall is trashed out, no ac, and smells like mold. Needless to say, we will not be adding this pizza stop into our rotation.

This is the BEST PIZZA IN FLORIDA!!! I have been here MULTIPLE times in the short month or two they have been open here in our little town and they have brought our food court/mall back to life!!! Tonight I was headed back from cheer with my kids and they wanted pizza. Mall is closed but NOT SOLORZANOS!!! I called and Jay picked up right away! At 8:40pm happy to take my order and he had it out and fresh asap!!! The food court doors stay open on the right so you can still get access to the great pizza. We also got some desserts you have GOTTA try the cannolis!!! So good! We ordered the Lambo Pizza and added pepperoni and let me tell ya I swear it’s better and better every time I come and every time I just can’t believe it! Can’t wait to come back and try some of the pasta and salads I’m just so stuck in this great pizza!!!! 🍕 ☺️

I’ve been a fan of this pizza place for a while, but after my last experience, I won’t return. I ordered a buffalo chicken pizza for pickup and arrived 50 minutes later, but the order wasn’t ready. After waiting another 20 minutes, I peeked into the box to ensure everything looked right. When I got home and opened it fully, I saw that only half was the pizza I ordered. The other half was BBQ chicken, as if they had thrown two leftover halves together. I tried calling the restaurant to get it fixed, but nobody answered. I contacted Slice (the app I ordered through), and while they contacted the owner, the owner refused to correct the mistake. Considering their expensive and time-consuming pizzas (50 minutes plus), this was extremely disappointing and felt like a waste. The food might be good when done right, but the poor service and lack of accountability make it impossible to recommend.

VERY thankful for the free cheese pizza I received! It was very good! Hard NO though on the $9 greek salad! In my opinion, its a bit overpriced for a small salad and I sure missed my feta cheese and black olive fix! We'll be back, no doubt, but just for the pizza! I'll go to the Greek to get my salad when I need my "fix"

This charming eatery offers a delightful array of fully cooked dishes that prioritize health without sacrificing flavor. One standout item on the menu is the vegetable lo mein, which showcases the restaurant's commitment to quality and variety.

I love the Chinese food a lot. Main things of Chinese food is that they are cooked. Lots of fast food we eat regularly is fried or half cooked or microwaved. So fully cooked food is also a good for our health. When ever I get a chance I go to the WOK and eat. My main choice is veg low mein. There is a lots of variety in Chinese food. I have added the menu also you can choose what you like and see the price also . Price is also a great factor of this restaurant. Let’s talk about the quantity of food in WOK . If you order half or small size it’s is enough for one person if you ordered full or big that’s is enough for two. In this price you get that much of food 🥘. It’s is really great deal. And service is also as fast as others fast food restaurant. And this restaurant also serves a family dinner also for 2 or 3 people. For price and what included please see the photo I have added. Enjoy 😊.

With its Carolina style pulled pork, customers can choose to dine at picnic tables or have a pleasant family picnic on the grassy lawn surrounded by mature oaks and Spanish moss under clear blue skies.

The food is good, however, making phone contact can be difficult. You get voicemail telling you to order online. Prices increase with society, of course.

Went on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the family special that included a full rack of ribs, 3 sides and 4 slices of bread. Ribs had zero seasonings. Sides were approximately 1/2 cup size servings and bland. Definitely not enough to share with a family and the only bread we got was a couple of small pieces of corn bread that was included on side order of collards. The only thing special about the family special was that young lady who took our order was very pleasant.

Disappointed. We were expecting tender, fall-off-the-bone, delicious ribs. Instead, they were dry and chewy. It reminded us of "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", the overdone turkey scene. We ordered the whole slab with one side and they forgot to put the side in the bag, because when we arrived home it wasn't in the bag. Will we visit there again? Probably. I always believe in giving a second chance.

Every time I pass through town, I stop in and grab one of these for the family, get a little extra sauce and one or two toppings and you’re an absolute heaven. Just imagine a mouthwatering cheesy pizza with garlic crust and try not to gain weight thinking about it!

They need to change their man manager. He qas very unprofessional and rude. The order was wrong and he was extremely rude and he was not going to change it he even though we requested the right pizza!. Refused to fix his mistake. I will not be going to Domino's. Until this manager has been removed or demoted back to the kitchen, but that's what he belongs.Maybe This is the third time. It seems like Domino's organization. This refuses and ignores a lot of problems with this store in lake wells on highway sixty, totally ridiculous, and we will not be going there until he is removed, he also acted very biased towards me!. I blame this on the Domino's organization for hiring people that are biased as well. I will be taking my business elsewhere. This was a careless act on this individual, he needs to be replaced!, ASAP!!!!.

My driver was a wonderful young man named Marvel. He was pleasant and mannerable. It is surprising when you meet young people these days of this caliber. I believe he has making of someone who could represent Domino's in a managerial aptitude. Great job! Keep on hiring workers like him.

Since we moved here July 2024 Dominos has been Amazing. The workers were so polite and accommodating, the food was perfectly made and we never had any issues… SOMETHING must have changed, maybe management or employees after March 2025 because my last two orders have been a completely different quality and today ordering was such a hassle. I ordered a large pepperoni pizza, cheesy bread and a brookie for delivery. I originally ordered a Medium Pepperoni Pizza with pan crust and then changed it to a large last minute. I didn’t notice the APP changed it to hand tossed crust because pan only comes in medium. I immediately called the store as soon as I read the receipt (literally 3 mins from placing the order). I was told there is nothing they can do, my order already left. How a pizza, cheesy bread and brookie was ordered, cooked and packaged in three mins is mind boggling. I then asked if I could refuse the order to get the order that I intended to order, and was told they would take off the large pizza and replace it with the medium pan. I said okay great!! Well my payment was cancelled and all I had on me was Apple Pay. So now I couldn’t get my order until I found a magical new way to pay. They literally stopped the driver right in front of my house in the road blocking neighbors from passing to get to their houses. I was belittled and asked to pay cash, or that I can access my card linked to Apple Pay on my phone (you can not, it only provides the last 4 digits) was then told they would just cancel the entire order and I can place it again on the APP to pay with Apple Pay. Well even though the dinner was supposed to be a surprise for my husband who worked a long week… I had to ask him for a card to pay for the order. Then the car blocking the road pulled in the driveway and left the food on our porch on the ground, and then went back and delivered the pizza 25 mins later. So when we sat down for dinner the cheesy bread was no longer warm. Also the cook on all three items was different than prior to March 2025. The cheesy bread had hard edges like a cracker. The brookie was way over cooked, it was tough and greasy. The pizza that was delivered after the other food was sloppy with the toppings sliding to one side of the pizza. We had to put it back together. I’m also very sorry to the next person who orders a large hand tossed pepperoni pizza because you’re getting the one we had because the delivery person took it back. Like I mentioned when I stated this rant… I strongly feel like this is due to change or management or staff. The woman manager was rude on the phone and the man manager that was first trying to help didn’t seem like he knew what he was doing. He was the one who cancelled my payment which spiraled from there. However, he was at least polite. It was the woman manager that kept yelling things to him in the background. I don’t think she wanted to be bothered with it and told him to tell me it was already out the door. This was a very frustrating pizza experience, starting with the store manager, then the delivery driver and then the poorly cooked food.

My guys at the Dominoes on 60 are the best. Always super friendly, delivery is always prompt, and the food is great. All the other competitors in the area are lacking in something, but not this place!
Katherine J — Google review
Ordered 2 hand tossed pizzas and there was very little sauce and pizza was si dry I about choked and the crust was very thin not the usual hand tossed. Not what I was expecting, the size was a lot smaller than it used to be and the slices were small and the toppings were very dry. This used to be my favorite pizza. I understand places are cutting back due to cost but when you cut back where it affects the taste you will be loosing business and closing.

My first-ever Domino's Pizza I shouldn't have got thin crust because it was just like shoe leather. it was burnt and they told me that's how they come out .I could not even chew it I just threw it away instead of getting a credit from them. it was so dry I couldn't even peel the cheese or pepperoni off. It also Hadi added $4 delivery fee which I never have paid before anywhere else. That made pizza and delivery and tip $21 I think I'll stick with Little Caesars or Pizza Hut

It wasn't as tasty as most hungry howies. I saw roaches in bathroom and could not use toilet as it had feces in it and was unable to flush with no out of order sign. The sausage on pizza was so tiny crumbles you couldn't taste it. I won't return.

Where's the guy moreno who used to make the best pizzas !! Very disappointed that he hasn't been there. Haven't bought a pizza since I noticed he wasn't making them. Very nice gentleman.

This is inside a Sunoco station. Looks rundown. Food wasn't ready when I arrived. Wasn't as friendly as other Hungry Howie's. Pizza was okay at best.

They are extremely quick to deliver your order. The food is definitely good although I think they skimp on toppings, condiments, plates, napkins, and utensils. Prices seem quite excessive for what you get.

We ordered our pizza at 6:15pm the guy that took our order said it would be about an hour which was fine. Well our order did not show up until after 8pm and was cold. We only live literally 5 minutes down 17 for the store. Completely ridiculous and unprofessional.

I am extremely surprised to discover such a fantastic Pho soup in the mall. Oh my goodness! I am enamored with the handcrafted egg rolls. I tried both the Pho Special and Chicken and veggie soups, which had an outstanding flavor and generous portions. The blonde lady who works there is incredibly kind-hearted. She recommended the Chicken and veggie soup, for which I was very grateful.
I'm so surprised to find such a good Pho soup in mall. OMG! I'm in love with the handmade egg rolls. We tried the Pho Special and the Chicken and veggie soups. Excellent flavor, generous amount. The blonde lady working there is a piece of heart. She recommended the Chix & veggie and I was happy she did. We also ordered some smoothies and they were very good, no ice chunks like in most places.

The best vegetarian pho I've ever had. You don't typically expect much from a mall food court, but this place delivers. I had the vegetarian pho (with vegetarian broth) and their vegetarian summer rolls. Both were great and made with good quality ingredients.
Chris — Google review
Located inside a dying mall, this little shop is worth a visit! Half the cost of a bowl of pho from the northern Orlando restaurants, the taste is comparable to any pho place. Served with tons of parsley and sprouts with a lime wedge, the bowl came with what seemed like nearly a full chicken breast. Pictured is a regular chicken bowl and a large matcha boba tea. The tea choices outnumber some of the other shops we've been to and we were very happy with the quality (they even have avocado which is one of THE BEST flavors!). The attendants will do half scoops of different bobas too! I got half coconut jelly and half popping lychee. The kitchen looks clean and the service was very friendly. The ambiance of a dead mall isn't great but hopefully the owner can move the business to a nicer facility in the near future.

This is excellent quality Pho! I am vegetarian and this was perfect. The staff was friendly and fast with our order. They even gave us the option of veggie broth instead of chicken. Fantastic eats. They also offer a nice selection of bubble teas and other drinks. Soup is also not the only thing on the menu!
Audrey C — Google review
THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE PLACE. For all my PHO people out there, the Broth is unmatched. They have a great menu and the service is great. I been going here for over a year and not have had one bad experience. All the good is fresh and food comes out fast. Its a clean and very big place. Great for business lunches.

Great place for getting a boba drink on a hot day. The nice lady made it exactly like I wanted. Smoothie style. You can pick the chewy boba or the pop boba in different flavors. Nice treat. I don’t know about their other food offerings as I only go here once in awhile just for the boba.

Recently turned vegetarian, and they have the BEST tofu pho around! The lady at the front is super sweet and polite. She explained that they get fresh vegetables and steam them each morning and even make their own organic tofu. We come here every time to eat in the food court. Eagle Ridge Mall is slowly coming back to life and this restaurant is definitely helping❤️
Rahechel — Google review
Great little place in the mall food court with Vietnamese food and a nice Boba tea selection! The staff is so nice and friendly, and the owner came over to check on us asking how everything was and told that she uses her own family recipe. I've had the egg rolls and coffee boba, and my friend has had the noodles several times and loves them! Definitely recommend stopping by for lunch during your shopping trip for something different and delicious! :)
