    Gooder than a bihh

    You have to have a felony just to get hired here. You'll graduate college before you get good customer service here. I always sense murderous intent every time I walk in. Despite that the food turns out to be actually decent and even good occasionally. I don't know how they do it but they get down in the kitchen.

    Two pieces with fries and biscuit.

    First time at this Church's Chicken, on a weekday. They open at 10:00 am now. Got there around 10:30. The buildig is old and needs updating, but the staff was friendly. It's a typical slow Church's service. Expect to wait a while if theres a line. The chicken was fresh and hot and we ate it in the parking lot. The biscuits are tasty and butterly. I would go back, but always arrive early.

    Right when we opened the box, the smell of the honey biscuit just exuded... So excited!!

    Oh my lorddd. So if you check out my reviews, very quickly my love for fried chicken becomes obvious. This is my first experience with Church's Chicken and the food really impressed me. The fried chicken tenders were pretty good. I like Zaxbys more, but Church's taste eons better than KFC's chicken tenders. I asked the cashier if their was something I could add to enhance the flavor, and she said she loves to add lemon juice and some pepper and shake that box up. I'll definitely try that with the shrimp next time I come back. Moving on to the honey butter biscuit, this was the most deliciouqs biscuit I've ever had. The taste of this biscuit itself is a 5/5. When we opened our boxes, the smell just bursted out and this biscuit is not just smell... First bite of the crispy exterior, the flavors of the honey and tenderness of the interior just melted in my mouth causing my mouth to salivate and go in for another bite. My old all time favorite biscuit belonged to Popeyes, these guy have stolen that spot. This biscuit should be illegal and is definitely not good for your body, but it just tastes AHMAZINGGG. The reason I give it 4 stars is because there is no seating available. With that being said, bring some friends, get your food, get in the car and crank up the music. This stuff, especially the biscuit, is delicious! Update: I decreased the ranking to 3 stars because the food taste was not consistent with the last time I had it. Also their was a really long line and the way the staff handled the customers was definitely not efficient.

    Over priced and over cooked. French fries were soggy and soft. The biscuit could have been used as a hockey puck. Not impressed!

    I normally like church's chicken but this place is a complete mess. The customer service is horrible and the place is dirty.

    This is a great location in an old federal building. Nice decor for this Smiths American Tavern…read more The bartender met us at the door, due to it being the middle of the day, and business being a bit slower, and we opted to sit at the bar. He was very social and answered all our questions and socialized about personal life as well. We ordered the Cuban eggrolls, and they were quite good but had smaller cubes of ham as opposed to pictures showing slices in some older pictures posted to this establishment. The drinks were spot-on. Although I may sound disappointed, I'm looking forward to trying more on the menu that they have to offer. I plan to return to try more. Recommended!

    Smith's American Tavern is in historic downtown Lakeland and located in a converted post office…read more It is spacious inside, has a nice size bar area and plenty of TVs to watch sporting events. The atmosphere is dive bar friendly and there are so many cool niche areas for photos. Really loved the raised unfinished ceiling and the naked white brick wall which covered the side wall of the tavern. When you enter there is a hostess to great you. And our server almost appeared immediately. She explained the menu to us and the specials. What a great first impression. Unfortunately, there was a key piece of info we missed. There is a full bar, draft beer options and a decent wine selection. I ordered a draft beer and a flight of Mimosas. The beer was good, the mimosa flight not so much. Oh, and they have brunch specials on Saturday and Sunday, including unlimited mimosas at a 2 hour limit. For food, ordered the classic breakfast plate and a breakfast burger. Food was pretty good, but the burger was from a frozen patty, so not the best. Unfortunately they have some policy where they charge an extra $1 for the eggs. It is posted in the front, but nowhere on the menu. Suffice to say that experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Pun intended. They did remove the $1 but it took more effort that I would have liked and unfortunately the review and the server's tip suffered as a result.

    I came here with a group and was blown away by the architecture and art inside. There are all kinds…read moreof paintings and cool chandeliers as well as a bunch of exposed brick. The restaurant is in an older building so it has a really rustic authentic feeling that sets it apart from other places. Our server Chandler was quick and personable. He was really great with interacting with the table and made the experience even better. Now for the food.... this is definitely in my top 3 BBQ places. The portions were huge and I felt like the prices were reasonable. I tried all of their sauces and they were all delectable and diverse so everyone can find something that they like. You definitely want to come here with an appetite because everything is just so good and comforting. You will leave satisfied.

    Our order: Salmon, Smoked Chicken, 2 meat: smoked turkey and brisket; Sides -- side salad, sweet…read morepotato, green beans, smoked corn, coleslaw, and an extra side of fries The Review: The best thing was the smoked chicken and dipping it into the many different sauces. Ya caught me, this is a guilty pleasure of mine. Other family members agreed that the chicken was the most tasty of the meats. Another positive, there are a lot of gluten-free options if you eat meat! They even have a special menu that tells you the items that do have gluten. The fries are GF but in a shared fryer, but if that doesn't bother you I highly recommend them. The fries when they were fresh were amazing, but they tried to give us old fries first, which we ended up sending back because they were cold and mushy. Luckily, the next batch pulled through! As for the sides, the smoked corn was good but pretty salty, the sweet potato was so delish, the coleslaw was fresh and sweet and creamy, and the green beans were just green beans. They made a mistake on our order, fixed it, and then charged us extra for it. When we asked them about it, they said it was because they gave us extra food on accident, and therefore we would have to pay for the extra food. To me, this seems like something that should not have been charge because we did not ask for the extra food, but we still paid because we did not want to make a big deal of it. The customer service is not great, and you may need to advocate for yourself at this restaurant.

    We got to the restaurant at 12:25, and thought it would be full. Maybe Thursday is slow for lunch…read morebecause only two other people were eating inside. Husband and I got the half pork platter with one side. He got beans, which he said were delicious. I got a fresh garden salad with honey mustard. Our friend got brisket (looked moist) with side salad and coleslaw (not creamy). We all got cornbread and liked it. All of us enjoyed our meals, and savored them. Salads were fresh. Pork was just right. It was quiet and peaceful so we were able to catch up in normal speaking voices. Didn't have to shout to be heard. Our waitress was attentive and kept checking up on us. We appreciated that kind of service. We only had to get one to go box for our friend. Husband and I got clean plate awards! Friend paid her bill with a credit card. We used Apple Pay after scanning the QR code. I don't remember paying a surcharge for not using cash, which was refreshing. When we left an hour later, more people were in booths, and the bar area was no longer empty. This is a really nice place, with good food and service. It should be full all the time!

    First visit to this recycled BBQ joint formerly Mojo's. According to some this is some of the best…read moreBBQ around. I'll give you the real scoop. At first glance this place looks like a really cool hangout. The mix of metal roofing and American motif gives it a gritty look. Looks to have plenty of seating to include a covered outdoor area. Looked to be clean and organized. Service was spot on and our hostess/server was quick to provide menus and silverware. She immediately took drink orders and returned rather quickly. My friends and I chose the buffet as it was recommended by my friend's cohorts. According to them "they have the best beans and BBQ buffet". A Looking it over there were several meat choices. There was hamburger patties in a brown gravy, several flavors of chicken wings, pulled pork, meatballs, and burnt ends. Overall it was okay at best. Flavors weren't consistent. For example I had a meatball that was very spicy. But the other was bland. I thought the burnt ends were a bit dry as if they sat there all day. The problem with that is we went as they opened. The pulled pork was a bit mushy. The BBQ wings were pretty tasty. I also tried the garlic parmesan. I thought they were a bit salty. Now for the sides. I felt the macaroni was a bit overcooked as opposed to al dente. Hush puppies were okay. The beans were actually good in my opinion. A nice addition was pork rinds. I don't know if they were house made and I forgot to ask. I really didn't go up for seconds as nothing really impressed me. Afterwards I did try their peach cobbler. Mushy and lacking either ice cream or whipped cream. They did have a salad bar. It looked to be fairly fresh. And I wanted to also add, for an extra $5 you can have all you can eat sliced brisket. At $17 I wasn't going to tack another $5 for kess than impressive BBQ. Overall I'd have to say there are far better choices for BBQ in Lakeland. Would I go back? Maybe, but I'd express my opinion. For what I paid I could have gotten a far better meal at Mojo Federal in Downtown. Just saying.
