    Nice fluffy waffle

    This place is sooooo amazing!!! The owner is so kind to everyone who comes in, treats his staff amazing. Definitely my families favorite breakfast spot in Lakeland

    We had plans to visit Polk Museum of Art and needed a quick lunch nearby. Unfamiliar with the area, we found Cozy Oaks on Google. The decor and vibe is extremely ordinary and hole-in-the-wall-ish, but the food and service is top notch. We were pleasantly surprised and enjoyed ourselves. We loved the chicken orzo soup! I had the chicken salad and everything tasted fresh and delicious. My mom ordered the hot open turkey with mashed potatoes- she's super picky and enjoyed every bite. My boyfriend ordered the roast beef with macaroni and cheese -- I tasted his mac and it was so creamy and delicious.

    If you are looking for a diner that has the small town charm and an interesting and diverse menu then you've come to the right place. Our server was very friendly and very attentive. The pancake and french toast were absolutely incredible and exactly what we expected. Unfortunately we are a little disappointed with our bacon that was fairly floppy and not crispy at all, although he asked for the eggs over medium they were still very runny and more in keeping with an over easy. We could not complain about the price and overall had a fairly good experience due to the atmosphere the server and the parts of our food that were cooked to our liking.

    Great little breakfast place. Always fresh and the place stays pretty busy so come early.

    Without a doubt a great breakfast spot in Lakeland. The secret is out because the place STAYS packed and if you know, YOU KNOW. DON'T wait til Sunday because that's the BUSIEST DAY to get your grub on here.

    Great breakfast spot, reminiscent of the New Jersey diners I grew up with all around Essex County, minus the cheesy, red, vinyl booths.

    Amazing early dinner this afternoon for my partners birthday…read more Ahi tuna appetizer was great! Served on a bed of arugula and cucumber with a snappy dressing. Beef medallions with shrimp and smashed potatoes. And, blackened Mahi with red beans and rice and collard greens. The food here is flavorful and truly fantastic. Pomegranate martinis with a basil leaf for flavor. First time sitting at the bar. Nicole, our server/barmaid was an absolute GEM! Her beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humor, plus her menu and libation knowledge is one of the biggest reasons we will return to sit with her. The service was outstanding and the food honestly never disappoints. The restaurant is clean, and everyone is very friendly. If you have never been to Harry's Seafood, definitely give it a whirl.

One complaint: each table features a card advertising happy hour. Although we were there during happy hour, drinks are not available at the happy hour price. Our waiter was as confused about that as we were. He said the cards had been there quite some time. Misleading if not downright deceitful. I love this place too much to make a fuss, but I felt like my loyalty had been betrayed.

If you are in the Lakeland area and you are hungry then this should be your first choice. We had "Sean" as our server and he was beyond outstanding. He was very attentive and very friendly and he took time to inform us about the specials, most popular items and was able to make suggestions based on our wants. We started with a dozen grilled oysters, half cajun butter and half garlic butter. They were very delicious. They were tasty, fresh and a nice size. My wife went with the grilled wild caught salmon which was described as the wagyu of the sea. And she said it was the best salmon she has ever had. I went with the pick two combo which included catfish, shrimp and cod. And I know that's three but instead of two pieces of catfish, I got one and two piece pieces of cod. My sides were hush puppies and red beans and rice. Let me tell you first of all it was a lot of food, everything was absolutely delicious. But the red beans and rice were amazing, plenty of flavor. And the sweet tea was excellent. We were to full from dessert but we will try some next time. We also met a manager and the owner and they were both very personable and friendly. They both acted like regular people and they both made us feel welcomed. Lastly we sat outside because we had our service animals with us and they also took very good care of them. They provided cold bowls of water and we order a chicken breast for them. Which they cut up in small pieces and provided them with to go bowls for them to eat out of. We live in Tampa which is about 1 hour away but our experience here was worth the drive. It is in a nice area with shops and stores. Definitely try this business if your in the area

Service was friendly and good. Southern charm feeling. We ordered 3 meals. Sea Bass, Redfish and Pick 2 with fish and shrimp. I had the redfish blackened and it was super flavorful with a kick. The crawfish sauce was excellent with 2 big shrimp on top. Everything was cooked well. The green beans on the side were nice and fresh. Rice was great to get that extra sauce. Wife had the Seabass and it was delicious as well. Great portion with a very tasty chimichurri sauce. I will try that next time as it was a hit. Green beans and potatoes on the side. Kid had the pick 2 and it was also very good. I actually liked the coleslaw. It was not mayo based and had a great taste. I ate it all! To start we had the fried pickles. Huge portion. Pickles were a nice thin slice with a seasoned coating. One of the better fried pickles we have had. Fighting for that last piece. Convenient location in an outdoor mall. Plenty of parking and can take a stroll after eating. Highly recommend this place!

We instantly got dirty looks from the hostess and one of the other staff ladies. The other staff lady barely even acknowledged us and took us to our table without saying a word. She threw our menus down and left without saying anything. While waiting, we heard a snarky comment about us arriving at 9pm... There's a whole hour left until closing, they stop seating at 9:30Pm and close at 10pm. We decided to take our food to go due to me and my fiancé not feeling welcomed. We got our drinks, we ordered water and it tastes like it came from the sink, how can water taste so gross. We have been here multiple times before and had a great experience but this time made us feel like we should not come back. The other staff lady who was straight up nasty to us was a more bigger set lady, she has blonde hair and a bun. She stood behind the bar tonight, but how can you hire someone who has a nasty attitude. Restaurant setting was nice as usual with sports on and country music. Food is always good but We will not be returning :( The one star is cause the food is atleast great but do NOT recommend dining in!
