Big Tom's Diner is a popular diner located just outside of Auburndale in Winter Haven, FL. They serve delicious food at reasonable prices and have a huge menu with many choices. The service is fantastic and the quality of the food is excellent.
Big Tom’s Diner is a must-visit spot for both breakfast and lunch! The food is simply incredible—whether you’re craving hearty breakfast dishes or a satisfying lunch, they’ve got you covered. The biscuits and gravy were absolutely massive and packed with flavor, truly a meal on their own. On top of the fantastic food, the staff adds to the experience. Our waitress was amazing—energetic, friendly, and full of life, making us feel right at home. Highly recommend stopping by for a great meal and even better service!

Big Tom's strikes me as a classic locals diner. The kind of place that has plenty of regulars. Everything we ordered was quite good and the portions were big to say the least. The average eater could easily share a single meal with a friend and be satisfied. My daughter had the Cuban sandwich and made the claim that it was about the best she has had! I especially enjoyed the cole slaw that came with my meal. The service was friendly and efficient to top it all off. Big Tom's is a winner if you ask me.

Our dinner tonight. My wife got the cheeseburger with fries and slaw. I got the chicken, mushrooms, and gravy, but I subbed white gravy for the brown. Side salad along with my side choices of warm cinnamon apples and cottage cheese. (I mix them together) We arrived around 5:30ish. It wasn't real busy. We were seated fast and overall the service was great. I didn't get our waitress name, unfortunately. The food was delicious and cooked perfectly. We had no complaints. We left with our bellies full, and leftovers. We've eaten here several times, and it has always been a great experience. 10/10

One of my favorite diners in Winter Haven. They have breakfast all day. After going to breakfast places all over Winter Haven, I found the waffles here to be the absolute best. They were just not too crunchy and tasted smooth. I haven't had a better waffle around. As for lunch and dinner, they have just about everything at a reasonable price. Highly prefer.

I'm a fan of the retro era, and this restaurant nails it. The staff wear diner uniforms and the walls have posters that make you feel like you went back in time. My husband and I have come here 3 times now, and this is what we ordered last time. My husband ordered the supreme breakfast burritos with a side of potatoes, and I ordered a pancake, eggs, and sausages. They were really good. They give you so much food for less money than in fast food restaurants. Big Tom's Diner is one of those restaurants that caused us to no longer buy breakfast in fast food restaurants. This is quality breakfast for less. Their corned beef hash is to die for, I ordered it the first two times we came for breakfast. The eggs Benedict and their potato casserole are amazing. Their biscuits are big and fluffy as well. Great service and food for an affordable price! 🍽️

We had an incredible dinner, made even better by our amazing server, Erica! From the moment we sat down, Erica made us feel genuinely welcomed. She was warm, knowledgeable, and had perfect timing throughout the evening. Her recommendations were spot on, and you could tell she truly cared about our experience. The food was phenomenal—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—but Erica’s exceptional service is what made the night truly unforgettable. She’s a gem, and the restaurant is lucky to have her. We’ll definitely be back and will be asking for her again!

I had the Pastor Burrito great flavor and was awesome my wife ordered the Pollo Chimichanga's and it didn't have quite the flavor as mine did. Both were excellent and personal preference I would recommend the Pastor. I will be back.

The quantity of their food is getting smaller, but their prices have gone up. I use to like ordering from here because of their prices and flavor. Although, their Tortas have always been on the smaller side. It still wasn’t bad for $5 before. I went a couple days ago for lunch and now they’re $8! this? the smallest Tortas I’ve ever seen. Raising your price 60% of the original price is too much for something this small. I don’t mind paying $8-$12 for a Torta other places because they’re 2x the size of what Tacos my friend serves. Their tortillas are getting smart and more oval shape to skimp out on the masa. Do better - I won’t be back. The vegetables weren’t fresh they tasted old and their green salsa was way watered down.

Food was subpar for me. I get birria tacos from a lot of different places and this place does not even compare. Totally flavorless including the bean and rice, very bland food. Also, I don’t see the need in doubling the tortillas .My husband raves about this place but I was not impressed. Maybe it was an off day.

It's the best food truck I have ever had. This place serves up real authentic alimento . We are from North Carolina but we lived in the area for about 5 months when I was doing some work in the area and this place was a mainstay 4 years ago. Fast forward 4 years and we went an hour out of our way traveling to our vacation spot just to come here. It's THAT good. I highly recommend the gorditas as this is one of the few places I've found that serves them up authentic. Well worth the trip.

Winter Garden Pizza Company is a lively restaurant with a fun atmosphere, offering New York-style pizzas, calzones, pasta dishes, and sub sandwiches. It's also pet-friendly, making it a great spot to visit with your furry friends. The menu features a variety of pizza sizes and toppings to cater to different preferences, including options like Hawaiian pizza. In addition to its renowned pizzas, the restaurant also offers delectable garlic knots and calamari as appetizers.
I highly recommend this place! I’m a pizza fanatic, and this is honestly one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. I went with the thick crust — I was skeptical at first, but the moment I saw it, I was sold. It tasted amazing both fresh and even better as leftovers the next day. The local lager with lime was a perfect match — crisp and refreshing. Service was also very good, friendly and attentive. Overall, for a pizza joint, it’s a solid five stars from me. The only drawback was the limited options for family members who are lactose intolerant. Hopefully they add more dairy-free choices in the future!

Pizza was pretty good. Flavor and texture of ingredients were spot on. Wedidn’t really like our waitress passion for serving , but we were relieved when the managers came over to ask. How is everything. Other than that I would come back and try more of their pizza options. Cauliflower crust is available, but only at a certain size. The garlic knots were everything Crispy cheesy and freshly made. The aesthetics and decor is so much fun to take pictures with as well. Great place to go right in the heart of downtown with a garden.

Great service, fast seating and the staff was very friendly. My wife and I ordered the lunch special and garlic knots. I usually prefer a more doughy pizza, the slices were thin and very crispy. Not sure if maybe that’s due to the reheat of the individual slices. All around a good experience and some pretty decent tasting pizza

West of Orlando, in Winter Garden, AJ’s Pizza Joint is serving some amazing za. I’ve been meaning to try them for a while because they offer a variety of styles of pizza, including New York, Sicilian, and Detroit. When getting a table on a Sunday afternoon the hostess said a table was about a 20 minute wait but we could sit at the bar (which looked full to me) but she pointed out their “pizza bar” which was further back in the restaurant and instead of having the bar and tv backdrop was set up to see their kitchen assembling and baking the pizzas. To a foodie, this was the best seat in the house, and I’d recommend and would prefer sitting there in the future so I can see how the magic is made. The person expediting (which turned out to be JC – the general manager) gave us menus and told us to let him know if we had any questions as soon as we sat down. Our server came to get our drinks and order shortly after. We watched JC quality control (checking for a proper cook and undercarriage) on every pizza that came out of the oven before finishing and sending them out (even sending one or two back when he thought they needed another minute in the oven (serious props for the attention to quality and detail). We got garlic knots and a meatball slider to start. Both were great, but I’m partial to a good homemade meatball (bonus points that I could order just a single slider instead of a set). Our Roni Detroit pizza came out, but these pictures don’t do it justice. It was beautiful. Crispy cheese edge, thick but fluffy crust, cupped pepperoni, and thick red sauce spread across the top. Everything about this pizza hits right for its style, melty and crispy cheese, fluffy interior, hearty tomato-forward sauce, and freshly grated parm on top. With the apps, we only at one slice each, but I’m not mad about having leftovers to be able to eat later. While the Detroit-style pies run about $30 each, you could get at least a couple of meals out of a single pizza, especially if you get or have any apps or a salad with it, and even at that, the quality of the food is absolutely worth the price in my opinion. JC chatted with us while very steadily cracking out food the whole time, and the servers were also very nice. We’ll absolutely be back and would highly recommend everyone who enjoys good pizza to check them out! Also, looking forward to trying their NY style pizza, they all looked great, and JC said they do great specials and pizza by the slice during the weekdays around lunch!

Tried this place for the first time since opening I can say by far this is the best pizza joint opened in downtown winter garden area. Seating selection is limited with dining outside , at the bar, or at a table inside. Jamie and Bree the new manager took care of us the entire time they were very nice since the moment we walked in until the moment we were walking out and that’s what customer service is all about and nowadays that is very rare to find. Bree the new manager goes above and beyond she went around asking guests including my table how everything was and is actually concerned about your feedback on the restaurant. The food was really good I got the garlic knots, and the Detroit style pepperoni pizza nice crispy edges very well proportions definitely recommend this spot for anymore who’s looking for a night out with the family or even taking a girl out for a first date I love the atmosphere very vibrant and welcoming, and the aesthetics throughout the entire restaurant are immaculate. I definitely will be coming back. I understand why the winter garden pizza company went out of business I highly recommend AJ’s pizza. No reservations are needed but the wait can be up to 25 minutes maybe longer depending on how busy they are.

This was my 2nd time eating here and I have to say it does not disappoint! Ordered the ceaser salad which was plenty for 2 people and tried the margarita pizza and it was crispy and delicious! I love pizza and this place really makes it great. Take a trip to the restroom and hit the party button for a fun way to end your restroom trip. Grab a table inside or out or sit at the bar and watch sports or sit at the bar top which faces the kitchen and watch them create your delicious masterpiece. If I am in winter garden and pizza is a calling AJ's is my stop!

We really enjoyed AJ’s! My vegan husband ordered the Bushwick Vegan and loved it. I got the Maui Wowie Detroit and WOW — 30/10! The cheese and marinara sauce were unlike anything I’ve had before. Cocktails were delicious, and we had such a great lunch sitting at the bar watching the game. My only regret is not ordering dessert.

At Tijuana Flats, you can enjoy innovative Tex-Mex cuisine in a friendly and relaxed setting.

Plus, there's plenty of outdoor seating for enjoying the Florida weather.
The staff and service was great! The atmosphere is fun and we really enjoyed the covered outdoor seating. The food was good, only complaint was that it was a little cold. Flavor and freshness was just what we were looking for. The variety of hot sauces is fun as well! The chips were not the best, but not the worst either, just average I guess.

Bought a family size taco kit. Cold and old food. The online order said it would be ready in 45 minutes. Showed up in 30 min and it was cold so.it had been sitting out awhile.

Mama had the two taco meal and I had the beef burrito. The tacos were a pretty good size you can see the picture and the burrito had some heft to it. The flavor was good and the salsa that came out with the chips was really good also. There was a really large selection of different hot sauces you could try with colorful names. The place was clean and the service was friendly. They have Coke products I always get a diet Coke. I would definitely recommend this place for a nice lunch or dinner.

Overall, it was okay-good. Some things were meh. The queso is yellow (not white) and was meh. Nothing special, sorry we ordered the larger size. The Atomic bombs were very good but better adding the various sauces they offer (best part of the visit) Quesadilla had plenty of chicken and filling! Shrimp and cilantro rice bowl was good according to my husband. The side order of the Mexican rice was terrible. Skip that. There are about 12 hot sauces you can try and that was fun! Chips came with our meal so we tried most of the sauces. Overall it was okay-good. I probably will not go back.

Unfortunately, after today’s visit, I won’t be returning or recommending this location. I’ve noticed the food quality has declined over the years. A few months ago, I ordered the chicken tacos and was surprised by how much the chicken tasted like it came from a can. I gave it another try today and ordered a burrito bowl with extra blackened chicken, light rice, and extra lettuce. The bowl barely had any chicken, though to be fair, they did provide a small cup of extra when I pointed it out. Two stars because they did try to correct the issue. Still, at $15, it just wasn’t worth it. Disappointed overall.

Such a fun and delicious experience. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, and so sweet to my kids. The restaurant is very casual and a perfect place to stop after a long day at the theme park. I love that they put their nachos on a long tray so that the proportions of toppings to chips is perfect. Honestly all the food was amazing! Big thank you to Sara for going above and beyond to just make our day.

If you’re looking for homemade cooking, this is a perfect place for you. You get large portions at a decent price. The waitress we had was attentive, friendly and knew the menu and gave good recommendations. Food was delicious and we ended up taking home half of what we ordered. Lots of seating and lots of free parking. The decor was of antiques and vintage paintings and art. And while we were there, we noticed a lot of regulars. Loyal customers 👍🏼.

I ordered three pancakes, over-easy eggs, bacon, and onion rings. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing. The onion rings had almost no batter, though they were still surprisingly flavorful. The eggs were supposed to be over-easy but were cooked all the way through, and the pancakes were very rubbery it seemed like they had way too many eggs in the mix. Overall, everything besides the onion rings lacked flavor or proper texture. I wish I could get my $30 back definitely not the kind of experience I was hoping for, especially on Mother’s Day.

First off the food was ok. The bad thing they don't tell you prices for any add-ons. Do don't mind paying for add-ons. I got the Meat Lovers Omelette and I added mushrooms, onion, and tomato. In no world I would think Mushrooms would be 3.01 Onions 1.66 and Tomatoes 1.99. and didn't get much of each of them in the omelette. I ask the waitress about the price and she said the don't tell The customer prices on add-ons and that the price of everything has gone up because of the stuff going on. I understand prices of went up a little but the chart of somebody almost half of what the amount cost for three vegetables is a little ridiculous. FYI-also the prices on the menu are cash prices not prices if you use your debit or credit card just to beware. We will not be back. So for two omelettes and two coffees and a cup of gravy it was $60 with tip.

Was excited to visit this morning like we do when family is in town as this was our favorite local diner. Unfortunately, our visit was highly disappointing. Walking into a near empty dining room at 9am should have been a clue. The server struggled to take our orders. Food took longer than usual and was served to our table in three trips for four dishes. To my utter surprise, the chicken tenders ordered by my SEVEN year old rang up to $19. Never been to a restaurant where a child ordering was served an adult meal costing more than adult meals. All this to say we won’t be back. It felt like there was a shift in ownership and/or leadership.

5 stars knocks this one out of the park! Plenty of parking, staff is so friendly and knows the menu! I hope you get Rainy from Seattle (yes, that's her name) she is so sweet!Atmosphere is fun to see the vintage signs on the wall. Seating is comfortable. Menu is quite large, and so are the portions! There is something for everyone. Eggs over medium were cooked perfectly! Can't wait to go back and try the cowboy southern benedict!!!

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!

Always a good meal when eating at a Chick-Fil-A. Consistent throughout all their restaurants. Outstanding! The prices match the quality of their food. Delicious! Service is always awesome. Lot’s of free parking and usually busy. Kids really enjoyed playing in the indoor playground. Thank you for providing this feature, especially in Florida’s heat.

The manager handed me my food but not my drinks. It was about a 10-minute wait just to receive my drinks after I received the food and I had to request for them because they forgot to make after receiving them I realized that they were both small shakes but at that point I just didn't feel like going back inside. The manager complained of having to take nine interviews and the atmosphere was very chaotic compared to the other Chick-fil-As I've gone to. They do have a system in place. There wasn't any at the time of me placing my order and receiving my food. I was definitely not satisfied. My food is going to be cold by the time I get home and I didn't get the correct size milkshake with my order. This is the only Chick-fil-A in the area but I will never eat here anymore. Horrible customer service. If I could read a zero they would definitely get one.

Jim R., comments are very correct and are point. The customer Service and everything is awful. All they do is talk to each other. I would rather drive to Bartow or Davenport. I done more complaints on this chickfila than I have ever wanted to. Please bring back the old man who originally owned thus location because everything ran prefect. This new owner has driven the restaurant in the in the ground. He doesn't even live in the area. He is hundreds miles away, he doesn't know what is going on day in and day out.

Dino's Drive-In is a charming throwback to classic American dining located in Winter Haven, FL. This no-frills eatery offers a delightful selection of burgers, sandwiches, chicken, and fish that you can enjoy at their dog-friendly outdoor picnic tables or right from your car. Guests rave about the affordable prices and high-quality food; many items are priced under $10! Patrons have enjoyed everything from lamb gyros and banana milkshakes to catfish sandwiches and crispy fries.
My husband and I had lunch at Dino’s today. It was our first visit and will definitely not be our last! Everything here was fantastic, from the low prices (with most items well under $10) to the food quality to the friendly servers who were really hustling. My husband loved his lamb gyro and banana milkshake while I enjoyed my catfish sandwich and fries. Our whole bill after taxes was only $25.06. Highly recommend.

I had a very disappointing experience at Dino’s Drive-In in Auburndale, FL. I ordered 8 wings, but only 4 were fresh. The other 4 were clearly old—hard, dry, and had a burnt taste, as if they were from the day before. I called the restaurant to politely inform them, and I was told I needed to speak with my server, Halie. Unfortunately, she never came to the phone because she was “busy.” I was hung up on twice during the call, and no one else was willing to assist me. I was simply told to call back later because they were too busy to help. The customer service was horrible—no one showed any concern or accountability for the poor quality of the food. It was clear that my experience didn’t matter to them. I expected much better and won’t be returning.

Salem's Fresh Eats is highly regarded for its excellent food and service. They offer a variety of options, including both comfort food and healthier choices with lean meats, making it suitable for those looking to build muscle. The chicken gyro is particularly delicious, as are the original dishes and anything fried. Many people frequent the restaurant weekly or even more often to enjoy their tasty offerings.
If you’re craving fresh, hot, and flavorful fast food, Salem’s in Winter Haven, FL is the spot! My husband and I had a fast food date night where we sampled a variety of their offerings, and let me tell you—it exceeded all expectations. The Philly Cheesesteak with Extra Cheese was surprisingly SUPER seasoned and well balanced! Excellent sandwich. The Garlic Parmesan wings fried hard were perfection, packed with bold flavor and a satisfying crunch. The Lemon Pepper wings fried hard? Just as amazing, with a zingy, savory punch that kept us coming back for more. But the real star? The fried shrimp with their tater sauce—and this is coming from someone who doesn’t even care for sauce! Their tater sauce is so good it deserves its own bottle. The shrimp were fresh, clean, and fried to golden perfection. The staff was incredibly helpful, patient, and friendly, and the establishment was spotless. While it’s not the most traditional sit-down environment, for a “big back” married couple like us who wanted to savor every bite without sharing with the kids, it was absolutely perfect! If you’re in the area and want fast food that feels more like a treat, Salem’s is worth every bite.

I rarely eat fried oysters but saw that they had them. Very unusual for a fast food place. Their menu is mainly seafood and gyros. The oysters were tasty and lightly battered. They come with a choice of dips and I chose the spicy marinara. A bit spicy for my taste but was still good. My biggest negative was in using their app! It would constantly say my browser was out of date and it wasn't. By some miracle I did finally get in and then it would not accept 3 different credit cards! I decided just to drive there although I like ability to order ahead. My card worked fine at the restaurant! Being a Sunday I tried to contact customer service and not available. I tried the email link and it didn't work. The highlight of the customer service was Brianna who was at the drive up window!

My husband ordered 15 wings hot and wet. The wings were DRY and the bottom of the bag was filled with buffalo sauce. As in they put the sauce straight in the bag then stacked the boxes on it. When we called the manager said she made it and she didn’t do that. Meanwhile the box and wings were completely dry. My box of calamari had sauce covering the bottom because it was the first box put in the bag. The manager did not care that this happened.

*****UPDATE SINCE BUSINESS ORIGINALLY RESPONDED A WEEK AGO******* Went by today hoping that service would be better. But to my disappointment when I got to the speaker to order whoever was on the register said “go ahead with your order”. No hello, please, thank you, no manners at all at this location except for a younger Caucasian woman who is usually at the window and is sweet and always goes above and beyond. As a woman of color it pains me to make that distinction of race but she’s the only White person I’ve seen working there, so I figured it would be easier for management to know who I’m speaking of . Give her a raise and lose the ones who’s playing with your brand and business. Needless to say, after no greeting and a command of “go ahead with your order”, I used my manners and said “no thank you” and went next door. ***************************************** My family and I ordered in the drive thru this evening. We frequent here often and the service is usually good. Today, whoever was taking the order did not say hello or any greeting. Just a “order when you ready”. The same lady then took my money and handed it back without even a “thank you” or a “you’re welcome”, even when I used my manners to say “thank you”. Then another woman handed us our food with tartar sauce, ketchup and other random sauces we never asked for but when we specifically asked for a second cocktail sauce she said it was $1.25. I’ve included pictures of the one cocktail sauce we got. How can that be worth anything past 50 cents? She was nasty, rude, and annoyed because SHE obviously doesn’t like her job. The customer service was disappointing and poor. It doesn’t matter how good the food is, if the staff treats the customers (WHO’S PAYING the money they spend) like trash!

Wanted the 2 for $3 breakfast deal. Most times even at other restaurants this is not easy to find on kiosk machine. I cut to the chase by going directly to counter to order. Plump tan skin woman employee said 3 times to order at kiosk, I asked her 3 times if deal was on kiosk. No answer just order at kiosk. Other worker came to assist at kiosk. She took 10 minutes to find it and she works there. I am an educated person this is not hard. This is a kiosk programming issue. But the 1st employee should have understood that some things are not as easy as they appear and should have responded better. Instead of assuming I was stupid and couldn't use kiosk. Because 2nd employee even had problems with it. This is an issue that I tried to avoid ahead of time by going to the counter to order. I knew it was a problem already. 1st employee was rude and assuming. Maybe she should use her own kiosk and then she would have been aware of this issue ahead of time. I was not looking for a sassy answer from an employee just some help.

I stop by here frequently because I like the fact that you can get the flavored fountain coke drinks.

Stopped by in drivethru to try the thin mint frosty. Ordered 2 junior sizes. She said that it would be a dollar more. Which i said was fine. She charged me $7 for both. Which makes then $3.50 each including tax. Did not give me a receipt. A couple days later we wanted to try the chocolate version. So i ordered them online. For 2 medium size thin mint frosties, it was $7.50 including tax. So tell me why i paid $7 for 2 juniors. How many people a day do they steal $2 from. I imagine they could make a lot depending on how many people they do this to.

Chipotle Mexican Grill is a popular fast-food destination that specializes in delicious Mexican cuisine, allowing diners to customize their own burritos, tacos, and bowls. I recently indulged in a carnitas bowl that was packed with generous portions of flavorful pork. While the rice and beans were plentiful, I felt they could ease up on the serving sizes there. The guacamole is an extra charge—though avocados are relatively inexpensive—it’s definitely worth splurging for its creamy goodness!
We ordered take out and when I went to pick up the order I was given a single bag. I questioned this and was assured it was correct. It wasn't, went back in to get the rest of my order. As the front counter staff figured out they forgot an entire bag one of the employees had already placed a bag of chips to replace the missing one. As they figured out there was an entire bag missing they gave me that bag and as I left she reached back out and snatched the additional bag of chips out of my bag and tossed it in the trash. Totally uncalled for and made me feel extremely uncomfortable. It was not me that messed up, it was them.

They always give you a small portion of the protein and they never have peppers done. This trip I ordered four bowls and a large fountain drink after getting the fountain drink All the options were down when I brought it to the woman working the cash registers attention she told me yes that their machine is not really working. I don’t know why you would sell me a large $3.50 drink knowing I couldn’t even get to drink. I guess since the line is Big waiting in line again to get a refund for $3.50 most people don’t. This location needs a lot of help getting their service better.

This particular location is by far the dirtiest and the worst service of all locations. 5 out of 10 times you order, the rice is under cooked, and I’ve made management and corporate aware of this issue. Tables are ALWAYS dirty, and garbage cans full to the top. Area for utensils and soda are always low on product. The staff wear gloves for no reason because they touch money, counters, hats and hair and then serve/touch your food. They are always missing something on the line. Today they did not have medium sauce or queso.

Dont even bother ordering a burrito. Order a bowl with the tortia on the side unless your ok with paying the same price for half the portion. The employee's are clueless. I had to wait to ask the cashier what the price differance was ( there isnt any.) as the people on the line making the half portion burrito? did'nt know.... Ive been to this location a few times an would say it was a pretty fair portion but when i asked why was it half the size compaired to the person next to me getting the same thing in a bowl? "I dunno i guess thats just how it comes out". I could have gotten a frozen burrito at a gas station that had more content!!! I was so disgusted i told em to keep it an walked out. I recomend every person recieving the same quality results to do the same. Just leave it for the cashier an walk out.

Food was good and the girl Serving was nice the issue we have is one of the servers who was behind the counter kept telling the girl the meat was double when it was not he was really weird and had glasses , was a short African American man, the older Hispanic checkout lady would not give us the juice for the kids meal because she said she gave us water for Cups, VERY weird indeed. Over all the African American girl serving gets five stars was nice and professional and the cook is good.

This is the 3rd time I try to visit and there’s either no rice or chicken. I understand one time. But 3?? It’s only 7:30pm. I don’t think there should be a shortage of food. This chipotle needs to get it together. When I asked the employee how long until the white rice is available she looked at me and said “I don’t know”. She should have said I’m not sure let me go ask. But only said flat out I don’t know. U get things happen but…. Again 3rd time with the same situation of food storage.

My husband and I deside to given a try, we ask brown rice . And was not cook at all. The manager in charge or the one on the take out area apparently did not like people asking to please change the order. She give to my husband a non friendly face attitude. I remember coming and Hilda the manager was very friendly and back in the days staff too. Not to sure what is happening here but for sure slowlenes and laziness are obvious. How difficult is to cook a rice. Services area was also a mess. Cashier guy very nice and other server too. The cooker with his pants down showing his inside clothing. OMG. In this place always have issues cooking rice.

Ordered a sesame seed bagel w cream cheese today, best bagel I’ve had in a while. Perfectly toasted, crunchy, soft center not dry and tough to chew. Definitely was a fresh bagel! Had to give a compliment….I always order a decaf latte w oat milk-delicious and perfectly made all the time!

After spending hrs in the emergency room I went through the drive thru for a croissant meal. Got to the window and did not get hash browns. When I asked I was told that I didn't order properly, I said but I ordered a meal can you fix it...the girl got her boss and that lady wanted to just argue with me that I didn't order the meal deal, rude and zero customer service skills. I finally just said whatever and left. I paid $7.15 for a coffee and a burnt sad looking croissant. I will never go back to this location. Very disappointing. Do better dunkin

I’ve given this location multiple chances, but I’m disappointed every time. The biggest issues are lack of preparation, slow service, and limited selection. They rarely have the food we want ready—whether it’s sausage still thawing or items that take 30+ minutes to prepare. Today, I tried to find substitutes for my kids since sausage would take too long, but what we got was burnt. My kids won’t eat burnt food, and I didn’t have time to wait in line again for a replacement. In the end, I should’ve just waited for the sausage. On top of that, this location never has the full variety of donut flavors. It’s frustrating to come in hoping for options and leave disappointed. Most of my friends and neighbors feel the same—we’d rather go to the downtown Winter Haven Dunkin’ where the service is faster, food is fresh, and the selection is better. This could be a great location, but it desperately needs stronger leadership and more attention to quality and customer experience. Until then, this spot is losing business to better-run stores in the area.

The line was SUPER LONG by the looks of the line you would think the food was GREAT but far from it. I didn't know if to laugh at how ridiculous or be pissed about the meal I received. The only good thing was the coffee with coffee and location it is always a hit or miss situation but this day it was the only good thing. I got the deal that is being offered the sandwich,coffee and hash browns. The hash browns tasted like they were stuck in the back of the fridge forgotten about and then finally fried. The sandwich well just take a look at the picture it looks like they packed it after smashing it down. I don't think I would return here.

I order a iced coffee and an iced latte and a hot coffee through Uber eats yesterday for my co workers and I at work and it took about 20 mins before a Uber driver came to pick it up but they made our order immediately and didn’t wait till the driver got there so when our order got to us both coffees were completely melted :( and my co workers coffee was so dark I put for 4 cream and 4 sugar but it looks like there is no cream like maybe just 1 pump she was really disappointed and so was I and the hot coffee was cold as well when we received it so now that’s $24 dollars down the drain cause Uber won’t refund me so that’s another disappointment I’ve never had this issue before but they made all these drinks so badly yesterday and didn’t even consider the fact we got completely melted drinks brought to us 👎

not one to ever leave negative reviews but I placed an online order after working all day long and went to pick up my order, I was late picking it up so they decided to throw it away. when I asked about getting it re made she huffed and said “I guess I can remake it”. I’m a super sensitive person so I just decided to leave because I felt like I was inconveniencing her. Again, I never have left a negative review anywhere but it was just super nasty and not a way to talk to a customer.

Everytime I walk into Jersey Mikes, something is wrong, looks gross, or a person is rude. All 3 things happened to me recently. Then I tried to give it another chance and it wasn't much better. The first night, a gentleman was helping my boyfriend and I with our sandwiches. Not sure if he was new but there were a pile of sandwiches to complete plus ours. I guess it was online orders. He sat there watching the other person do all the work and when he did work he was very slow. The other person even got on to him about working. He just made a side comment and continued working at snail pace. We waited over 10 minutes for a cold sandwich and no one in line but us. The lettuce looked horrible and so brown, tomatos looked mushy and discolored, and the counter had so much food on it from other sandwiches. The bacon was black and didn't look appetizing. The second time we went, the gentleman with the beard made our sandwiches. He was not very friendly and was short with us. The tomatoes still looked disgusting and the lettuce was still brown but not as much. I used the restroom and it definitely doesn't get checked regularly. The toilet paper was out too in both restrooms which I had to go tell the not-so-friendly employee that there was no toilet paper. This place needs better leadership. I tried to give it a second chance and still didn't satisfy. Ill take my money somewhere else to get a better sandwich. Unless you want food poisoning, I would do the same.

Warning! Had a breakfast sausage burrito here last week, it was the most disgusting, inedible food I've ever seen. I took one bite and immediately spit it out. Inside was a grey mass of egg and sausage covered in black grill scrapings. I can only guess how sick I might have been from eating it. If this was accidental, it's just plain stupid. If it was deliberate, much worse. See the photos and ask yourself if you would want anything from their kitchen. Do NOT eat here!

This place has gone down the drain in the past year or so! If you order through the app they take their sweet time to bring it to you. If you order a burrito, they give you a jr burrito.

Drove 35 minutes from our home just to buy 2 bags of their "good ice" only to get them and it's not even their ice! I could've gone to the dollar tree ¾ mile from my house and gotten this ice instead of digging out my electric cooler and spending an hour and a half out in the heat-between the drive there and back & the wait to get the ice! I'm just VERY VERY UNHAPPY that they did that! Why say that y'all sell bags of your "good Sonic ice" when you're definitely NOT selling your good ice?!!

Ordered supersonic breakfast burrito and a coffee with two creams. The burrito was wrapped well, but had a total of three jalapeño slices in one end of the burrito. Three single slices of jalapeño. The coffee was obviously old and when they brought the creamer with it, I had to pour it in myself, which is fine, if they would have brought a stir stick. Poor quality, poor food quality, poor coffee, poor service. Never going back to sonic in winter haven. They just do not care about what they are cooking or how it should be prepared.

question. Why is this Taco Bell always randomly closed? I've lived in Winterhaven for four years now and many times we roll up there to have a sign on the door saying closed. Middle of the day, closed. At dinnertime, closed. Just closed to be closed. I don't understand. If this store's losing money, there's a reason. You have to be open to get money. I'll never go back here again ever in my life because you never know if they're open or not.

Stopped by this location after a late night movie. Milly took our order and changed our whole night around, simply by being so kind, courteous, and positive. We were deciding which drink to get and Milly was so patient and helpful while helping us choose. Her kindness went a long way. I didnt think stopping at the Taco Bell would have made such an impact on me, but Millys character really left an impression on me. I hope all customers get the experience of meeting Milly because she certainly warmed my heart and reminded me what humanity is all about. 🫶🏽 Thank you Milly and wish you the best.

Came in on a Monday evening and the pizzas, about 8 different types, were lined up and ready for consumption. They also had 3 different desserts awaiting us. They also had some soup (chicken noodle I believe) and some type of pasta dish (did not sample either of those). The pizza was actually pretty good, which I was kind of shocked to be honest. If you like red pepper flakes they are located behind the silverware. If you wanted a salad you had to order that at the end of the counter and select your fixings. The salad was quite fresh and on the larger side. We would definitely return, albeit with the grandkids like this time. The staff working here were all friendly. We did not order anything special, as what they offered was good enough. Oh, and Mondays are senior day at $8 for food and a drink.

I arrived here around 8:05pm with my 2 sons after a long, hot day at Legoland! It wasn’t that busy when I arrived. They have a decent sized dining area. There is a sign that the lobby closes at 9pm. I went to the counter to review the menu. I noticed some of the “specials” aren’t really specials. Example, large gourmet pizza and 12 wings special is $36.24 but separately, a large gourmet pizza is $18.97 and 12 wings is $13.19 which equals $32.16. Even an XL gourmet pizza ($21.56) plus wings is $34.75, which is cheaper than the “special”. I went through a few of the “specials” and the same applies. The “gourmet” pizzas are even cheaper when you simple add on the toppings. I placed my order around 8:15pm. I got a large pizza (pepperoni and sauce), garlic knots, 12 wings (garlic parm) and 3 drinks ($1.60) a piece. They don’t have fountain drinks. The total was $40.67. I told them I wanted it for here and was told they would bring it out to us. There is one tv in the dining area that played Nickelodeon. They have a paper towel dispenser on the wall near the kitchen entrance. That area looks like a bar area. That is also where the condiments are located. The Garlic knots came at 8:32pm, the Pizza came at 8:34pm, and the wings came at 8:37pm. All of the food was hot, in temperature. The pizza was great, no complaints! The wings were lackluster in taste. The Parmesan cheese overpowered the garlic versus them being complimentary. Additionally, it seemed like the Parmesan was just added on top versus the wings being tossed in them both. It didn’t fit up to my liking for garlic parm wings. The garlic knots were huge and tasty. However, it seemed that the butter and garnish was only on one side versus all sides. Overall, it was a decent experience. The two staff present were friendly. I recommend ordering food from the menu versus using the “specials” if you really want a deal.

The manager here is unacceptable and not great. I ordered an acai bowl...a basic order for this company. I received a frozen acai bottom with fresh fruit. The bowl was NOT edible since the acai was frozen solid. When I presented the issue to the manager, there was no understanding offered, no intent to resolve the issue, rather an unkind face, repeatedly saying "i don't know what to tell you, that's how we sell it." When I again presented that I bought this and I cannot eat this, the same face and the same response...."I don't know what else to tell you." I'm not sure how this response to paying customers who paid to EAT the food is acceptable. I'm not sure who her overseer is, but this is unacceptable. To purchase an item and then the customer cannot get eat the actual item? And then the MANAGER (short lady & glasses) treats customers that way. When she left the store to clock out she walked right by me and my frozen bowl that i couldn't eat and said nothing. I hope she gets addressed and frozen bowls get addressed, because how is this acceptable? Also, the tables were DIRTY with old food.

I made a order of over $48 dollars and this people didn't have the decency of calling me back after days and weeks going by me calling leaving massage and never getting a call back. Never got my money or at least a new order.These people have the worst management .Good luck on stealing from others!

Unfortunately to not have dry Alfredo you need to pay extra ! The manager Jason was unable to offer any help whatsoever with my Alfred that was completely dry. All i asked was for him to put alittle extra sauce since my mother had difficulty swallowing. He once again rejected. Interrupting me while I tried to kindly speak to him. All he said was “I can’t give you extra product I can’t charge you for” even though I had explained to him there was practically no sauce on the pasta making it very dry. He continue to interrupt me even saying that he was gonna correct the staff so that they wouldn’t make exceptions in the future since he’s the manager there. Me and my family are very frequent customers (10members) they are usually amazing. NEVER COMING BACK! I am extremely unhappy. Feelings and moods here clearly come first since I’ve never had this problem outside of him. How very disappointing.

My daughter picked up two large pizzas and brought them to my house and we actually had to go outside and ate the pizza. The smell from the boxes were that bad. The pizza hardly had any sauce on it. Very very disappointing.. The boxes smelled like a garbage dump from the recycled paper!!

They advertise a deal on TV that you can't actually buy over the phone or online. What a crock. The manager had to manually discount it to get us almost the savings advertised for the pizza legends and they had no chicken. It's called bait and switch and false advertising Dominoes. Someone ought to sue you for those types of tactics. Advertise a pizza legend for 12.99 and when you go to order it's 20? What a shame!

Arby's, a popular fast-food chain renowned for its roast beef, offers a delectable array of hot and cold sandwiches, fries, and shakes. Located on 3rd Street in Winter Haven, this establishment impresses with its cleanliness and overall good condition. The courteous and attentive staff ensures that customer needs are met. One must try their exceptional Prime Rib Philly Cheese steak sandwich; it comes highly recommended. Additionally, the jalapeno Poppers provide the perfect amount of spiciness.
I don't normally eat Arby's but I wanted something different for dinner. I did order through uber and my food did not disappoint! My kids have a new favorite place for chicken kids meals. I appreciate that water is an option for their drinks as well. Our food was hot and tasty. Nice job to this location!

Burger King is a well-known fast-food chain that specializes in grilled burgers, fries and shakes. The restaurant is frequented by many people for its affordable food and quick service.
I love going to Burger King. This is the only one left in winter haven fl. There used to be one closer to me but they had .... There are no words how disgusting their standards were. Cockroaches ON THE DROP OFF COUNTER! But that one was obviously shut down. My only complaint is this particular location. It's basically at the intersection of cypress gardens Rd and 17. I have no other issues.
Sam — Google review
"Welcome to the Most Unmotivated Burger King I’ve Ever Seen" If you're looking for quick service, avoid this Burger King at night. I’ve never encountered such slow and careless service in all my life. Let me break down the reasons why I can’t recommend this place: 1. Extremely Slow Service at Night No matter how empty it is, the speed of service is ridiculously slow. I usually visit around 10 p.m., and even when I’m the only car in the drive-thru, it takes 20 minutes to get my order. Once, with only two cars ahead of me, it took the same amount of time—20 minutes—for two simple meals. These were not complex orders, just standard menu items. 2. Lights Off, No Sense of Care Tonight, I arrived at 10:30 p.m. to find the restaurant signs in darkness. Which either shows pure laziness or a complete lack of attention to detail. It makes me wonder if anyone is supervising this location. It seems like whoever manages this place has no passion or pride in keeping it running smoothly. 3. Questionable Management or Ownership The problem may not even lie with the night staff. Sometimes, it’s the owner’s lack of investment and care that trickles down to the employees. It's sad to see someone own a business but fail to show any love for it, resulting in a restaurant that treats customers like they don’t matter. 4. Day vs. Night: A Stark Contrast The most confusing part is that during the day, none of these problems exist. Even with a crowded drive-thru or lobby, the service is fast, and orders are ready within 10 minutes, max. But come nighttime, it feels like the staff is purposely slowing down. It’s absurd that only two customers can be served every 20 minutes. 5. You’re Losing Money This message is for the owner and management. If you’re paying your staff on time, providing the best equipment, and still getting these results, then the problem lies in supervision. If that’s the case, it’s time to make a change. The fact that they didn’t even turn on the lights suggests they’re trying to avoid drawing attention, almost as if they don’t want more customers. That’s money out of your pocket. And if you’re the kind of owner who just hires a supervisor and turns a blind eye, waiting for negative reviews to force you into making a change, then unfortunately, you’re the problem. You’re a poor leader, and you need to do better.

Alicia was our cashier for the day and boy she didn’t look presentable nor did she seemed to have any desire to be there. She took our order and forgot the kid Apple juice. The rest of the crew seemed to be in their own world, but over all everyone was doing something productive so that’s good. The place was clean and not too busy.
Mel R — Google review
Waste of time and money will not go back to a Burger King because of this place workers need to be trained on how to cook food workers, cook food and let it sit until somebody orders it. It is not fresh. It comes to you lukewarm not hot. even if you ask for fresh would not recommend eating here.

Yesterday I was taking my two boys to get some ice cream from Burger King so I pulled up at the drive-through and I asked the employer do they have vanilla or chocolate she yells out loud through the mic, only vanilla so I was like well you didn’t have to shut it out so I just drove off and I looked at her and she looked like yeah who does that? I don’t understand little black girl I don’t know if he was gay or he was a he or whatever but very rude. I left, but I was gonna go in there, but I just left

Worst service ever. I order online to pick up on the drive thru and they make me wait in the parking for 15 minutes and when I went inside the food was there waiting for a long time and the employee tell me that the manger and her don't communicate so she didn't know what was going on. It's horrible going to a fast food and the manager has a horrible attitude and is very rude. I was very nice asking about my food and omg she was so upset that I did. It's very sad.

Classic, long-running fast-food chain known for its burgers & fries.
DO NOT EAT HERE!!!BUYER BEWARE!! First, I want to say that my following statements are not an exaggeration, but they are facts as you can see in the photos below, and all the other photos posted by the other reviewers do not eat here. This is by far the worst McDonald’s on the planet every time I’ve ordered here for the last two weeks, which is about more than two times. The sandwich buns are always burnt and as hard as a rock, the chicken nuggets are always burnt the sweet tea is like swamp water with no flavor And the fries are always cold with no salt. These are the absolute worst possible things that McDonald’s can do to your fast food this location needs new staff in the kitchen because the person in charge of making the food is serving non-edible food. you cannot be a server of food and serve non edible meals. After i went back with my rock of a big mac the manager gave me a new one but I still lost time and gas and was unable to eat with my family at the dinner table. Not to mention when I got home and ate that big Mac it was also terrible. There was something inside the big Mac meat that when I bit into it almost broke my teeth. I’m so disgusted. I will never return here. I hope everyone reads this review for their sake. Stay away go to any other location.

Went through the drive-through of this McDonald’s tonight. I ordered three meals large sized and normally I always check the bags before I pull away but tonight I didn’t. I got home and each of the fries was only half full. You can’t tell me that whoever put them in the bag didn’t notice that. I was charge for three large fries that were only half full And it’s not possible that it was a mistake because all three of them were like that.

If I can give this place zero stars or negative I would. Whoever is the General Manager should be fired or replaced. Not only do they not read the reviews to improve their restaurant but they don't correct their customer service either. This location can NEVER get ANYTHING right. They're always rushing people off the speaker to order and drive thru and ALWAYS STILL GET IT WRONG!!!! Then wanna catch an attitude when u go to get it corrected. I've gotten chocolate milk instead of a milkshake down to an order I didn't even place instead of my original order. Fast food isn't to focus on keeping your time service down or at a good pace it's also good customer service and good quality food. I will be reporting this location to corporate and hopefully they make changes starting with the staff because this is absolutely ridiculous. DO NOT EAT AT THIS LOCATION NOT WORTH YOUR TIME AND/OR MONEY. THEY SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN!!!!

I don't know what the hell is going on here!! This location needs to be shut down and that's not a threat, it's a promise. This isn't a warning, this is a drill. DO. NOT. EAT. AT. THIS. LOCATION. EVER!!!!! During one of my visits, I saw 1 of the employees, who works on the food, drop tongs on the floor that was supposed to be for the burgers/other food. Then when he told the other employee about it, who was a black guy, he shrugged his shoulders like it wasn't his responsibility. That is so disgusting and they wonder why people are getting sick from all this "food" that they call themselves making. Managers aren't careful who they hire nowadays because customers are getting more sicker than the minute from all this food poisoning. It's because most of the employees don't even wash their hands or any other cleanliness things. Either they get it together or they have three options: 1. Health inspectors shut this one down for obvious reasons 2. Have the employees take a sabbatical 3. Corporate needs to hire new people that actually know what they're doing and that aren't gonna make people sick from uncleanliness.

The lady didn't flip my blizzard. It's one part of the experience ,so you took away like half . The blizzard was great . The worms were too chewy though . The blizzard came in a baseball cup because they're the official treat of MLB baseball I used the drive thru it was $4 and cents for a small blizzard. You're not even getting that much . All in all not much to complain about as I like how you can look at the menu before coming to the speaker. The ice cream wasn't even fully mixed together . But no complaints as it was great !

Used to be one of my favorite places to stop for lunch, but when they wanted to charge my mom an extra 67 cents just for a dipping sauce for her tenders with her lunch "special", it has gone to one of the last places I will stop for lunch again. Checkers is across the street and their meals are cheaper. A "customer service" refresher training wouldn't hurt, and preferably an adult working?

The service was terrible. No acknowledgement or much communication. The little communication I received was more of a brush off than anything. Everyone there was more interested in talking with each other and playing around than actually working. The manager, or key, or whoever he was when I came in that was counting the registers, chewed out one of the employees while I was standing there and told him to clock out and go home(something that should have been done behind closed doors, not professional at all) The couple of orders I did see being made while I was there were carelessly put together, toppings slung everywhere, no care for how the food looked, and it wasn't even busy. I'd stay away for this location, just terrible impression made today.

I was very disappointed with the quality of food I received at this taco bell, my chicken quesadilla was literally scrunched up in the box and my crunchy taco was beyond stale. My drink was also warm and flat since it only came with 3 ice cubes, I wish I was exaggerating. I would definitely not recommend this location to anyone.

Rude and unprofessional employees and especially the night manager who was working on the night of October 5th, around 10 PM. They made errors in my order and did not want to correct it, and they told me that it has to go through the DoorDash app even though I ordered it through the TACO BELL APP (she tried telling me the Taco Bell app is not theirs). She kept yelling at me through the phone and hung up, then proceeded to disconnect their phone line from the wall. When you call, it says “sorry, the number you have reached has been disconnected”. Extremely unprofessional women who don’t want to handle their own problems. They enjoy arguing, they don’t want to fulfill their work that they signed up for.

I am both a customer and a fellow business owner, and I had a very disappointing experience at your this Taco Bell. My order was missing a Mexican Pizza, and when I called, the employee who answered was rude and dismissive. She told me that unless I came back within 24 hours, I would “forfeit” the item. When I asked for a refund instead, she refused. I then asked for her name for reference, and she declined, citing “scam concerns.” As a business owner myself, I know mistakes happen — but how they’re handled matters. I would never treat my customers in such a way. Refusing accountability, withholding refunds, and refusing to identify oneself to a paying customer is unprofessional and unacceptable. Businesses that don’t hold employees accountable are just as concerning as scam operations. At the very least, I expect a refund for the missing item, and I strongly urge you to review the customer service practices at this location. Customers should never feel that their money was taken without receiving what they paid for. Order 407 Resturant 002163

Ordered the “TV special” Pizza/wings , through the Pizza Hut web site Received a text that my order would arrive 20-30 min. Have to say it arrived w/I the time frame. BUT 1. Pizza was cold 2. They delivered through Door dash 3. Door das driver did not understand or speak English AT ALL 4. Part of the order was $14.00 + Del. And Tip for the wings , WINGS DID NOT ARRIVE 5. Called P/H and the girl gave me attitude which upset me , stated I would have to take it up with Door Dash , I told her 4 X before she got it that I DID NOT CALL DOOR DASH , she told me “don’t yell at me or I’ll hang up on you” now I was with someone at my house and they said I was not yelling BUT you could hear me upset in my voice. 6. Rep put me on extended hold to talk to manager, then came back on and said “ we will get the wings out to you in approx 30 min.” I let her know we have a gate and gave her the code for the driver, HOWEVER, she never gave that to the driver and driver never called me just texted that she needed gate code not letting me know who it was” I then just said Thank you and hung up. Have to say the wings arrived w/i 18 min. And they were delicious not much sauce though. When I moved to W/H 4 years ago I was told about that “Stand Alone” Pizza Hut and tried to order something from them but did a pick up and after 40 min they never made the pizzas , I said I’d never use them again BUT I did, NOW PROMISING , I will NEVER use them again after a Terrible Cold Pizza and terrible CSR phone experience with a total Check for $40.25 Dogs liked the pizza - the pepperoni (took off )

Ordered online at 7:11pm. It said my order would be delivered by 7:27-7:37pm. I tracked my order so I could meet the driver. At 7:52pm or said order delivered, but I was outside waiting and there was no delivery. I called the store and asked why it said delivered yet I don't have my food. He told me that it should be there in 5 minutes, but if not then I should call back. He said it was some glitch in their system. It finally arrived at 7:04pm. Almost an hour after I ordered. I would not recommend this location. Their customer service skills are lacking and their ability to deliver in a timely manner is not there.

We walk in and order a extra cheese pizza and if you don't know what you order they have a flyer with their menu. It only took minutes and we got our food. It was hot and it's good.

Ordered on the app. Notified order was on the way. Then notified it wasdelivered. No knock but checked outside. Nothing. Checked next door with neighbors. Nothing. Called multiple times. Even left listening to the store as if someone took the receiver off and laid it down.Finally was told the food was still at the store and my refund would process in 3-5 business days. No apology or even a "bye" from the call center rep. Will never use Pizza Hut again.

If you have T-Mobile phone service, you should definitely keep an eye out for the weekly deals here! The pizza is also pretty good 🤌🏾

This Pizza Hut has great pizza and friendly staff. We’ve used them for carryout and delivery and have had good experience. My only complaint is that the poor manager lady who runs the store is by herself during lunch and she seems overwhelmed. She does good though every time my family orders in. Wish it was a dine-in location but those seem to be dwindling. The young manager named Shat has been helpful too, he helped carry orders to the car for my 86 year old grandma when she orders for her card playing friends group. (by the way call way ahead if you are going to order more than 4 pizzas in one order to give them a good time to make it) I like this Pizza Hut better than the one back home in Redding, California. Dominos literally tastes like cardboard and Papa John’s makes my stomach upset. My daughter loves the “book-it” literacy program that Pizza Hut promotes, she gets her personal pan cheese pizza and it is her favorite.

Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen is a vibrant fast-food chain that brings the bold flavors of Louisiana to your plate. Renowned for its spicy fried chicken, this eatery serves up tender and juicy pieces that are bursting with flavor. Complementing the chicken are their delicious biscuits and mouthwatering sides, including a mac and cheese that's simply irresistible. The friendly staff adds to the welcoming atmosphere, making every visit a delightful experience.
Loved it all today and the ladies were great customer service was a 100 and it's been a min since I was able to get food and actually eat in a good environment keep up the good work 🫶

1/31/25 ordered the 3 piece for $6 now. Also ordered the $3 combo. Told breast are a extra $1. Side was french fries. Then informed that the combo doesn’t come with a biscuit. That the biscuit would be another $1 extra. The french fries were untouched. And fast food restaurants are wondering why noone wants to eat at their establishments. Got 3 thighs, the only things that were decent to eat. They bring back the big box for $5 maybe I’ll return. For now Popeyes are on the back burner.

I drive 30 min to this popeyes location 3/8/25 at 10:00 am . A employee came out The back door Drive thru and told me that They're not taking no orders until 10:30 am. I said the online website n on your door say 10:00 am. She said, let me go ask my manager. Managers say no until 10:30. I am calling corporate they refuse 2. Take my order when the time says they open at 10:00 am. I just wanted to order was just some red beans and rice n a biscuits. The doors was locked too the time says 10:00 am. A old lady who is a customer. I had to let her know what they told me. They definitely lost business. Because of their employees. Refusing to take a customer order when the company door n website says open at 10:00 am. U was there for 13 mintues .Definitely will not be back. I used to be a regular here. I am calling corporate to file a complaint.

There was no one in the store, and no one in font if me in drive through. I was given old chicken pieces and the driest smallest piece of chicken ever. You need to throw away old food and make new food. I deserved NEW FOOD, not stuff you had left over. I called 5 times, but the females refused to answer the phone. I will be getting my money back in the morning.

The chicken i got had lots of extra crumbs in the box and it was chewy too. I got diarrhea for days. They didn't even put me a fork to eat the coleslaw. Worst ever. Never go there. Will never go there again. Even the outside speaker is broken u can barely hear them or they u. They also kept me waiting for like 5 min before answering after they said hold on.

They were very rude for my take out order. Thought I was a delivery driver. I was picking up my own food through uber pick up. Had 3 sanwiches made getting cold waiting for 4 th almost 20minutes later. Said the others would be cold. They said they just made them. They were sitting there when I arrived. If it was delivery which it wasn’t doesn’t the customer deserve better. They get cold food because it’s delivery.

If the Jerry Springer show filmed across that counter you wouldnt be able to guess it was a Popeyes. Food everywhere. workers swearing. Workers talking to each other, ignoring customers. After waiting in the drive thru I had to pull around and come inside for my order. I waited 15 minutes to even ask if my food was ready. When I asked my food hadn't even been cooked yet. Workers yelling at eachother. The cook was swearing at everyone and one person came out of the door screaming obscenities and threw his apron on the counter and stormed out of the restaurant. More workers laughing at each other and doing absolutely nothing. Truly a disgusting "restaurant" with absolutely no respect for anyone or anything.
Stephanie M — Google review
The service could not have been worse! Three people working the front counter, and all three stood there with their backs to the counter. They were more concerned with tye mobile orders, than helping, or even acknowledging the person in front of them. And then they couldn't even get the order right. I ordered a number one, a chicken sandwich and fries, and my wife ordered a number 5, nuggets and fries. I asked if I could add cheese to my sandwich. Twenty minutes to make my sandwich! Every time I went back to the counter to check, I was told "he's making the filet now" Go to eat my lunch only to discover no cheese on the sandwich and only one fries. I guess I was expecting them to get the order right since it took over 20 minutes to make. Then I go back to the counter to deal with three ladies with their backs to me ...never, ever, will I eat at the Winter Haven Popeye's again!

Fast food restaurant
KFC, the iconic restaurant chain famous for its mouthwatering buckets of fried chicken, offers a delightful array of combo meals and sides that are sure to satisfy any craving. Diners often rave about the deliciousness of the food. However, it's not uncommon to encounter minor hiccups during your visit; for instance, you might find yourself needing to request additional drinks or sauces after you've already hit the road.
2-piece combo for two. The chicken was so fresh and tasty. Sides were mashed potatoes and coleslaw and we loved them too. The biscuit was hot and fluffy. We both enjoyed our meal. Oh yes the sweet tea was just the way I like it. I will return to Kentucky Fried on Cypress Garden Blvd Walmart Center.

This is my second time going to this location and having a problem with the food, I usually go to the Auburndale KFC which I have never had an issue. I ordered a 8 piece meal extra crispy and the skin of the chicken had fallen off of most of the chicken and there is literally oil at the bottom of the container of chicken. I did not receive the 4 piece biscuits with my order. I have been calling for the past 20 minutes and the phone has a busy signal. Unfortunately my car is in the shop and I used Uber eats to have my food delivered otherwise I would have returned this horrible food.

I hate they give you star options because what do you give a place who gives you cold, dry inedible food. I placed it online and came to pick it up, I’m told it wasn’t ready they had to drop wings. Ok cool I’ll wait they will be fresh that’s what I wanted but no I got out of 12 3 fresh wings and the rest is dry, cold and the texture of the skin feels almost rubbery. Corporate did nothing but nothing even after pictures and the manager admitting to my food being bad. This is wrong and I’m not letting it go.

This was the worst KFC experience. I have ever had. The cash register wasn't working. The kiosk was not working properly and then they gave me not completely done chicken. I get blood in the bottom of the bucket and white biscuits.

Every time I go to this KFC I always get chicken fall apart. They don’t ask you. What kind do you want? They don’t give you a receipt and why do the chicken look like this? I always go to the one in Arbordale because the chicken always look good taste good and everything but every time going to this one on Cypress Boulevard the chicken look like this. I gave it to my doll. I don’t have money to be spinning on Food that looks a hot mess to get us sick and my kids and stuff they need to get their business right now look at this chicken. I can’t eat this. I can’t take this to my employers.

I waited 15 minutes for Extra Crispy to be made. I specifically asked for Breasts to replace the Thighs. The Cashier explained the order three times, because I let her know that I my previous time requesting "No Thighs", they still gave me Thighs. In a 12 piece, you're supposed to get 3 pieces of each (Leg, Thigh, Wing & Breast). Don't you know they gave me 6 Legs??!! I recieved sloppy nasty looking original as a replacement after i waited for you all to make extra crispy?!! You're store is disgusting! You're workers don't care what they give you. I want to email the health department because this chicken ain't even edible.....

I recently visited J.A.C.'S Corner for the first time and had an incredible experience. Their menu offers a variety of delicious options, such as the QuesaBirria tacos, burger, and carmelita tacos. The food was fantastic, with the QuesaBirria tacos being particularly impressive. The burger patties were also very tasty even on their own. Additionally, the little carmelitas tacos provided a convenient and satisfying snack option.
J.A.C's Corner is fantastic! I got the 1 lb Family Deal and my father and I loved it! I like how everything was neatly packed upon arrival and ready-to-assemble. The meat was hot, my dasher didnt use a hot bag though. My recommendation on how JAC's could combat that issue would be by enclosing the meat in the aluminum foil completely so it retains the heat better. Still 5-stars, it was excellent nonetheless. The JAC's Sauce is top-notch with some kick but not overly spicy. The steak was nice and juicy, and very flavorful and filling. Overall it was an excellent meal and I even took the time to plate it into two settings to show it off to you all! It's great, you will want to get this!

First time customer.. this little spot has delicious food!! We got the pork egg rolls and beef quesadilla to share, they both were 10/10. We were kindly offered chips and salsa, and let me say I wish I had a jar of the salsa in my fridge, it’s probably the best I have ever had. To drink we each got the strawberry auga fresca so so good! We will definitely be back to try more!

I've driven by JAC'S Corner soooo many times and finally we gave it a try.. omg it was delicious! Easy to order online, quick pickup, and so conveniently delicious. We had Beef Birria and Chicken Quesatacos con Consomé, Chimichanga Deluxe, and of course Mexican Cokes. We will definitely be back!

If you actually like Mexican food save your money, spent $60 for dry biarra tacos consume that has clearly been thicken with cornstarch and taste like Worcestershire sauce 🥴 the tacos themselves are very crunchy the meat is tough and you can taste the old fry oil 😭😭😭 my fiance got the barria grilled cheese and it might as well have been a pot roast sandwich. Very disappointing, I was so excited to because I love Biarra and currently travel to Lakeland to get it from my favorite spot but 100% a let down. Now if you like fusion food then sure you will probably love this I am not a fan personally of watering down and changing peoples culture food, that tasted amazing as it was!

I found out about JAC’s through UberEats! I work in the neighboring hospital and love tacos so one night was looking through uber eats for somewhere to get them.. Since my first try. I’ve been ordering from JAC’s almost every nightshift I work! It’s soooo good! The birria tacos are LEGIT!!! And I gotta say thank you for making sure your drinks are tamper proof for your delivery orders. I truly appreciate that extra touch!

Spent $60 for 4 items and 1 one of them was wrong. Birria tacos and egg rolls were so dry we threw most of it out. We used to like this place before the change of ownership. Now you get crappy food with a side of crappy attitude from the workers. The item that was wrong was for my 5 year old, we ordered a steak quesadilla but got chicken so of course she didn’t eat it. Waste of time and money to come here.

This was our first time trying JACs Corner, and it was amazing. We had the QuesaBirria tacos, a burger, and 2 carmelita tacos. The food was great. QuesaBirria tacos were honestly excellent, the burger patties tasted amazing( even on their own), and the little carmelitas tacos are a perfect quick bite. We stopped right before closing time, but that didn't stop them from providing excellent service. Overall, this place is a must if you're driving thru winter haven or are a local. We will be regulars from now on. PS: The sauce is to die for. Perfect combination of spice and flavor.

Japanese restaurant
Fast food restaurant
Hibachi Express Winter Haven is a hidden gem located in the Publix shopping center across from LEGOLAND. Despite its unassuming appearance, this place serves up generous portions of top-quality hibachi and sushi at very reasonable prices. The food is consistently delicious and beautifully presented, making it a must-visit spot for locals and visitors alike. Whether you're craving tender and juicy chicken or high-quality steak, this eatery won't disappoint.
Let me tell you something this place right here is it I have 5 other people with me when we eat 4 are kids and trying something new is difficult with 4 kids but this is the place right in between Lego land and the Legoland Beach resort so perfect location if you have littles but don't want to eat an expensive meal at the park nice seating super clean bathrooms and when I say the food was amazing I mean I have eaten up and down the east cost from fresh main lobster and Boston clam chowder all the way down to the FL keys and this place was it we had 6 people eating at 8pm on a Friday night and had comfortable booth seats the food came out so fast and if you are afraid of ur kids not wanting it they have chicken nuggets and Fry's while we hade steak hibachi 1 had chicken hibachi and I had steak and shrimp hibachi we also had a order of cucumber rolls and avocado rolls and man they were fresh we also got dumplings and 2 orders of the chicken nuggets and Fry's . Now the staff was over the top when I tell you the kindness and family friendly vibe we received with the 2 wonderful women working at the front counter Mini & Samira I have never seen 2 people multitask and get it so perfectly right at the same time I could not believe the kindness of these people and the portion sizes reminded me of being back home in South Carolina were as I'm 6ft 4 and 290lbs and could not finish all my food. If we go out to eat as a family of 6 I don't expect to pay less than a 125$ but with all are food and drinks it was about 90$ I like my food to have flavor and seasonings and this did not disappoint I only wish I had ordered more shrimp because it was amazing absolutely best shrimp I have ever had. Not to the wise they do cook there stake medium well so if you like it done differently make sure you ask at the time of ordering. My only regret is I wish this place was closer to my house great job who ever is running this place because you are crushing it keep doing what ever t is ur doing sorry I don't get picks of the food from the first bit we couldn't put are forks and chopsticks down it was good thank you.

Ordered take out, I wanted two party trays one steak and one chicken. They lady on the phone didn't understand me. Even tried to explain it because she rang up something different before hand. Kinda frustrating, salad was okay at best. Chicken and steak where good. Really just disappointed with the communication break down. Everything in total cost $70. Fed 6ish people. Usually get two trays and it will feed 11 no problem.

1st time experience at this restaurant. Pleasant surprise. Nice atmosphere, nice music playing at a level you can still hold a conversation with someone across the table from. Ordered the hibachi chicken with shrimp. Came with a small salad with ginger sauce. Everything tasted great. They also have Sushi and other Japanese style meals.

This place looks like a tiny fast food restaurant, but I've never had such good hibachi shrimp other than Benihana's. I seen many people ordering takeout, but you really owe it to yourself to enjoy the food while it's piping hot. It was really seasoned well with a really nice mix of vegetables and the fried rice was cooked just right. The food was flavorful spicy, not hot spicy. They served it on tasteful plasticware not the disposable stuff. So you do have to empty your food into the trash bin and save their plate for reuse. I'm glad they're not using disposable or styro. This was my first time there but it won't be my last.

Dee's Hot Dogs is an incredible hidden spot that boasts a fantastic ambiance, cleanliness, and multiple pool tables. If you're seeking a bar-free environment to enjoy a game of pool while indulging in delicious hot dogs, this is the place for you. Their menu offers a variety of mouthwatering options such as the "burgundy lipstick dog" accompanied by delectable baked beans.
Very nice, family run hot dog place. Create your own or choose from one of their many specialty dogs. Some of their specialty dogs have some of the most creative combinations of toppings I have ever seen. Everything from a Strawberry Shortcake dog to a Scooby dog that Shaggy and Scooby-Doo would love. Combos available and reasonably price. Fresh milkshakes and other desserts available. Warm, friendly staff.

Short review: Simply Amazing! Long review: This place is a real "hole in the wall", you will miss it if not paying attention. Great atmosphere, clean, music set up and pool tables. If you like to play pool without the bar environment, this is your place! This was my first time and I will be a regular customer from now on. I ordered the "burgundy lipstick dog" with a side of baked beans. It truly was an amazing first bite, the sweet and salty combination from the Mac n cheese, bbq and hot dog was perfect. The prices are supper affordable, I don't think I've seen prices this low in a very long time. Worth every penny. This place is a GEM and should be supported by all our locals. I look forward to the many combinations they offer.

Dee’s has become one of my favorite places to eat. I find it charming, spacious, and very clean. There are several tables to choose from for dining in and they also cater. I had my first couple of orders delivered, choosing hot dogs and hamburgers. They were delicious, made to order and the toppings were generous. The first time I picked up my meal, I found the atmosphere to be comfortable and staff, friendly. Their menu is very nicely displayed behind the counter. If you love hot dogs, this the place to find a variety of styles and toppings, including chili and sauerkraut! There are several other items on the menu as well, from tacos to milk shakes. The prices are really reasonable. I highly recommend Dee’s, as a matter of fact, I bought one of their T-Shirts to help advertise. (They are much better than that “other” hot dog and hamburger place).

Great Customer Service. He was willing to let me sample the sauce to see if it was spicy. I ordered the Taco Dog with no sauce and it was delicious. I also ordered the Burgundy Lipstick Dog too. It was really good but I kinda wish it had more BBQ sauce and Mac-n-cheese. I will be back to try more because they offer lots of variety hot dogs.
