    Good Thyme Hash
    Sunshine N.

    Found this place on accident this morning and we were pleasantly surprised with the how amazing the food was. Full of flavor! We got the donut holes, a breakfast burrito and a new breakfast bowl menu item called good thyme hash (I added some cheese). Best breakfast I've had in a long time, we will be back!

    Good Thyme is a hidden gem in Lakeland. Fast casual style service. Very convenient ordering ahead from toasttab app. The food is always delicious and is priced fairly. Love the chicken biscuit and if you like spice, try it Nashville hot style. The breakfast burrito is one of the best I've ever had! Try it with the house made hot sauce!

    Stir Fry

    Stir fry was unfortunately not very flavorful and chicken was dry :( Lavender blueberry kombucha was good tho

    The best kept secret in Lakeland. It's quaint and has delicious, healthy take out options! Nestled right behind Concord coffee is a hip hole in the wall cafe with outdoor shaded seating. Dietary restrictions- say no more- GLUTEN FREE, vegan and vegetarian options available! Daily specials available - don't forget to ask about those- I got the breakfast tacos! Breakfast tacos- egg, I subbed chorizo for bacon, potatoes, salsa, cilantro On corn tortillas that didn't call apart with hot sauce on the side ! Delish! FYI 3 tacos will cost ya about $10 with tax- plenty of food for 1! Could have even shared a taco with my toddler if she was with me :) Excellent customer service!

    When I found out about Good Thyme's soft opening last week I knew I needed to get there ASAP! I came for lunch and was not surprised they were busy! It's a take out / picnic or packed lunch type of flow that makes them different than other establishments in Lakeland. When you walk up you order at a counter and pick up your meals around the corner at the pick up window. There is limited bar style seating outside under umbrellas only. The lunch menu had many options and many of them were easily customizable to be made cruelty free and plant based. I tried two dishes: their Jambalaya with seitan was delicious, the dish had a slight heat to it and the rice was the perfect texture you would expect. I'm not sure if they make their own seitan but it was very good, one of the best I've had! The stir fry with seitan was full of veggies and had great flavor, I really liked that it was a little blackened, it added more depth to the dish. In my opinion the stir fry was a little too salty but I would eat it over and over again! I can't wait to go back and try their vegan biscuits and gravy! But I'll have to make it there by 11am to grab them. They don't have menu times listed yet, but only serve breakfast 7a - 10a, 10a -11a is a transition period to lunch but biscuits and gravy are still available. I heard they are planning to open more hours and possibly weekend but right now it's only 7a - 3p M-F. Area of improvement: Though all of the meals come in recyclable containers I didn't see any recycling bins around the outside bar seating area. The utensils didn't look to be made of a recyclable material which could be why. I would love to see them switch to completely low waste/ compostable packaging and utensils in the future and have the proper bins on site. I can see Good Thyme becoming a neighborhood favorite quickly! And I will be back!

    Fried Chicken Sandwich with Street Corn on the side.

    Their fried chicken sandwich is better than Chick-fil-a's and better than Popeye's! Served on a brioche bun, with honey mustard and sweet-heat pickles. The pickles are homemade and the mustard is just tangy enough. So so delicious. They have packets of Red's hot sauce if you want it hotter like I did. Served with a side--about 4 or 5 to choose from. I got the Street Corn and that was also tasty! I'm not sure why the restaurant is labeled as vegan. They do have some vegan options but also serve meat. I'm looking forward to trying their breakfast menu, because I've heard great things about it. I just wish they were opened later and on the weekends. I know that's a tricky locations since there have been a few restaurants there in the past. I hope they get more business so they can stay opened for a long time to come! Super friendly and accommodating staff. Food came out in less than 10 minutes.

    I was that impressed for how much money I spent on my tacos I have had much better for a lot cheaper

Our server described the dishes perfectly. I tried the Beef Wellington and loved it. I was not crazy about the mashed potatoes I felt like they lacked flavor but the Beef Wellington was the star. We also had the Cherry Roasted Duck. Again cooked perfectly I just wish it was a larger portion. This is on the pricey side so be ready to splurge a little.

    Small European style bistro on the north end of downtown lakeland, there can't be much more than…read moredozen tables. Reservations are essential on busy days. The menu is french inspired but portions are over the top even by american standards. The cordon blue must have used two chicken breasts as it was easily 10" long and at least 3" across. Honestly, it's enough for dinner, lunch, and dinner again the next day and that's coming from a guy. The cooking was well prepared, chicken and fish were cooked to the correct doneness, but there's a few places for improvement. Too many things were overly salty and the chef seems to favor garlic to the point that it impairs the flavors of the rest of the food. I would never have described the brussel sprouts as "pan fried", they were boiled and then hit a pan for like 30 seconds. One of the heavily salted items, between the texture and the salt, they were nearly inedible. One quick side rant - do restaurants not understand that we all have cell phones and can google the retail price of a bottle of wine? I'm not paying $10/glass for a wine that is $11/bottle (and probably not buying $11 wine anyway). Cut your prices in half and you'll actually sell so much more that you'll make up the profit in volume. Win-win. For a french menu, I didn't see a single french wine on the list. Hmmm Desserts sounded great, the only one we had was the creme brulee. The custard was perfect with a strong vanilla flavor and you could see the beans in it. The caramelized sugar was too thick. You should be able to crack it by tapping it with your spoon, not have to stab it to force it to break. Anything more than 1 mm is too thick. Getting all frenchie and metric on you. Still, a respectable place. I'd like to see a wider variety of herbs and spices used and tone down the the salt and garlic. This place has michelin potential, but is held back by Food Prep 101 mistakes.

The restaurant is small and designed with beautiful architecture to match the hotel. We really enjoyed the Pistachio Espresso Martini's (not creamy if that's your vibe like me!).

We went on a Sunday and they only serve the brunch menu since they close at 2 PM on Sundays. The restaurant wasn't overly busy when we got there, so it was disappointing to have slower service without really seeing how/why. Overall food was delicious and we would definitely be back to try a few of the dinner options next time.
