    Grievous Angel is a unique quick serve, cooked-to-order burger eatery just across the way from Lake Mirror in Lakeland. They keep the menu fairly simple, offering up a selection of burgers, hot dogs, and a few sides. They also have a small bar area should you wish to grab some beer, wine, or spirits with your meal. A few of my friends enjoyed the smashburgers they tried. I went with a standard plain hot dog (4.25/5) which was decently grilled and served on a unique split top roll. The fries (3.25/5) had a decent crunch, but were otherwise unremarkable and a tad bit over-salted. While I wasn't the biggest fan of them having one fixed price for burgers and hot dogs regardless of the number of toppings (as that generally means you're paying more for the core product if you don't like toppings, subsidizing the orders that do have more going on), this was a decent quick serve option for a lunch near the lake. Service (3/5) was limited, as you have to line up to order, and your only other interaction with an employee is the person that drops off your food where you're seated. The atmosphere (4/5) is nice, as we especially liked the funky artwork and decor, despite the limited interior space. While we'd probably research an alternate burger place if we were to return to the area, Grievious Angel is a decent quick service food option in Lakeland that I'd recommend to others.

    Grievous Angel is Lakeland's new iconic burger joint. They certainly make a mean burger and fries. The ambiance is groovy and matches the vibe at their sister location Love Bird. The service is fast and makes for seamless ordering experience. The prices of their burgers are a bargain for today's standards. I would recommend Grievous Angel to anyone seeking a great smash-style burger!

    My husband raved about the burger he had. The fries are delicious. I ordered the dog , lots of bun and my dog wasn't hot? The beers were cold and the server was super nice . The decor is interesting and pleasing to the eye. We caught them on a Tuesday when it wasn't busy before 5:00. We were just killing time while our pip got groomed . Will return and try more of their restaurant options .

    From the creators of Lovebird, we get this super fun and delicious new burger restaurant. Same funky, fun vibe of Lovebird, bigger and much improved location! There's plenty of outdoor seating (I think like 10 tables?), though the inside seating area has a similar number of tables (aka not many). Came around 11:30 expecting to beat the lunch rush since we know this is a popular spot. Not busy at all when we got there but it majorly picked up while we were eating. I ordered the Somewhere in Texas and some fries. Fries are well seasoned and crispy, and taste great dipped in ranch. The burger is messyyyyy! So much sauce and slaw, so prepare for that. But also prepare for it to be DELICIOUS. Every bite has slaw and bbq sauce and bacon in it. 10/10, I loved this burger. We regularly meet as friends in Lakeland who live in Orlando and Tampa and I'm sure this will now be a part of our regular restaurant rotation. Also an easy walk to The Joinery for dessert! The menu here said they're going to have gelato but not yet, so can't speak to that.

    Delicious smash burgers. Friendly service and food came out fast. We were able to find a table inside, however sitting does fill up fast. There is additional sitting outside. I will be back. They also have a gluten-free buns.

    This place is very cutely decorated and niche menu of burgers/dogs. It is definitely not healthy and there are not any healthy options (ex. Turkey burger, kids menu, etc). Same quick order process as LoveBird and the staff are very kind. Food is quick and delivers on a classic smash burger. I still think Five Guys is the best fast food burger out there, but this is a solid sport for wanting something more locally owned. A fair amount of flies inside and just want at least one healthier menu option like they have at LoveBird.

    What a great addition to downtown! Not surprised how cool this. The burgers are delicious, a little messy, but so good! They have a good menu option and drinks. Lots of fun seating inside and out. They also have events which I can't wait to try such as movie events. My only con is they have Pepsi products and I'm a Diet Coke gal.

    Grievous Angel didn't disappoint. As regulars of Love Bird's Chicken, we were excited to try this concept from the same team--and it delivered. The "Somewhere in Texas" burger is loaded with flavor, and the ranch slaw really sets it off. Add jalapeños if you want an extra kick. The standout, though, was the "Revival" hot dog--topped with cheddar, chorizo chili, and onions. The snap on the dog was unmatched, with a balanced, subtle smoky flavor. We also tried the fried pickles and dipped our fries in the jalapeño sauce--definitely worth it. Only heads up: parking is limited, so plan to park across the street and walk over. Excited to come back and try more of the menu.

    Fried pickles
    Bethany G.

    We came in with VERY high expectations. Love Bird is one of the best around, they can do no wrong. We wanted this next endeavor to meet the same standards, but it fell short. They were out of a few things on the menu: egg rolls, chorizo chili, and ranch slaw. I opted for a grievous angel burger, chili cheese fries, and fried pickles. The burger was lovely. The top layer of fries were great, then they they were just plain fries. And the fries pickles were a disappointment. Pickles chips are superior, pickle spears will work, random tiny pieces of fried pickle, many of which were just skin? Eehhh, no thanks. The service was pretty good. Most of the staff went above and beyond. Making conversation with those waiting in line, and answering questions to help speed up the process. And then there was the cashier who had no interest in helping, answering questions, or even being polite. Maybe she was having a bad day. The ambiance is fun. Nice decoration, clean bathroom, easily accessible drinks and condinents. The bar is super cool (though horribly placed),but theres Definitely not enough seating at the bar or otherwise. Ill go back and hope they've worked out the kinks, and also hope they have the eggrolls and chorizo chili in stock. Those have to be better than the fries and pickles. I hope.

    Although this place has Just recently opened, this place is already a serious contender for one of my favorite spots. From the owners of Lovebirds (the hot chicken spot we all love and swear by), and somehow they've struck gold again. The Revival Dog is loaded and ridiculous in the best way -- juicy, flavorful, and just messy enough to know it's done right. Every bite hits. And the Somewhere in Texas burger? Absolute knockout. Smoky bacon, juicy patty, great sauce balance -- you can tell they didn't cut corners on anything. The whole menu feels intentional, the quality is there, and the execution is already dialed in -- which is wild for a brand new spot. Ambiance had great music. The service was just too notch If this is how they're starting, yeah... this place isn't just good, it's going to be a problem will be back often.

    Grievous Angel- devious burgers and a kickin' vibe that are here to stay! The plot of land where Grievous Angel has bravely stationed has struggled to keep business- place after place has tried and fell through here, but I think this one is finally gonna stick. From the same minds who dreamed up LoveBird Almost Famous Chicken-(if you haven't been you must also visit) this place had high expectations to live up to. And it served every bit of anticipation with hot fresh and delicious food. It's set up similar to fast food joints, where you order at the register, then sit and your food will be brought out. They also have a full service bar for those eating at the restaurant. The vibe is funny- kind of a western/revival type feel. Just as with Lovebird they did a great job with the decor and feel of the place. Now, the menu is primarily burgers and hot dogs. But the burgers are smash style, and I don't exactly know what that means but they are so much better than a lot of burgers places out there. Juicy and cooked and seasoned perfectly. I tried the peppercorn saint which was basically their take on a mushroom & Swiss burger. Absolutely mouth-watering and so good. My friend enjoyed a burger that came with slaw on it, unique and a success. Since they just opened (literally today, 2/16/26) they have a limited menu until they get into a better rhythm. With the full menu, there's yummy sides and a few desserts. Fries don't come with the burger or hot dogs, you order them as a side. All of the workers were super lovely and it's a great experience here. It does take a long while waiting in line to order, and especially while it's new be prepared for that. But located just off of Lake Mirror and downtown Lakeland, the Grievous Angel is in a prime location and is ready to wow your taste buds!

    Weekend Hero burger and fries
    Steve B.

    After reading reviews on Yelp our family made the short drive to downtown Lakeland to try Grievous Angel. Parking was easily found in the public lit across the street. The venue is small but cosy. A few Yelp'ers talked about the music being loud but it wasn't too bad for a Friday dinner rush. We placed our order (three Weekend Hero burgers, two orders of fries and three drinks) and were then lucky enough to find seating inside to avoid the humidity outdoors. Our order was delivered to our table within a few minutes and was fresh and hot. The burgers are more of a smashburger style and were well seasoned. The fries had seasoning on them which wasn't overbearing. Discounting one star because it's a little on the pricey side (our meal ran $53.50).

    Family Food Trailer Adventure!!!…read more Please note: We have been eating here since Mid Nov., but I wanted to wait until we tried almost everything before placing my review. After our first dining adventure here, I knew we would be back and I wanted to leave an epic, honest review for everything I could. Our Family craves this food and when they open and at the AutoZone location so are we at least once that weekend!!! I have been Driving by this food trailer, sitting in the AutoZone parking lot for a while before that. The large burgers on the trailer had me gauking as they looked so good! We finally had the chance to stop by and OMG these are some of the best Smash or non smash burgers all 5 of us have ever had!!! This is now our go to place for burgers as they have something you cannot get anywhere else... SNOOP'S SPECIAL SAUCE!!! What an elevation to any burger!!! The price point is definitely on point with the quality, plus you get a pile of fries (Plain or Parmesan) with that SPECIAL SNOOP SAUCE all for 16$. Let me ask a question: WOULD YOU RATHER? Have a basic burger from corporate stores for 12$-17$ and have a Good Burger & Fries Or... Have one of the best burgers of your life every time you go to snoops as consistency is key and SNOOPS has it!!! You can also get a burger, fries & 6 piece wing combo for 25$ - Saving you 7$ from the cost of a 6 piece wing, what a great deal!!! The wings are amazing and large in size to support the 6 pieces & then Parm Fries for the 16$ price point, but still the burger/fry/wing combo is definitely worth it!!! Sauces available: XXX BACON JELLY RANCH LEMON PEPPER MANGO HABANERO - tried and loved Garlic parm Thai sweet chili - tried and loved Hint honey Garlic - tried and loved The Philly steak may seem higher priced than most, but holy beef this is the best Philly Steak I have had in Florida and I've eaten them all over the northeast, even in Philadelphia, so I like to think I know what a real Philly should taste like. First Snoops got the soft/fresh bread, which we all know is key to the sandwich, the bread is filled with meet and cheese and I could not get enough the first time as I went back the next day to get another one. For me the 25$ Philly is so big you could share with another or eat it all yourself, like I do, cause it's so good & don't forget those Parm fries come with it to!!! To sum things up if you haven't tried Snoop's your doing your and your families bellies a disservice. The owner operator is passionate about his food and proud as he shows every guest their food before bagging it up. I'm sure it's just to see your face as this man takes pride in his food quality and guest service!!! AS ALWAYS, TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

    Everything! The service was atrocious! Waited over an hour…read morefor a child-sized burger and fries. Ordered regular fries, got ranch seasoned fries. And the VERY unimpressive burger (which should have been 3 sliders) tasted like week-old-defrosted meat, and very gamey tasting. It was supposed to be Angus beef, but it most DEFINITELY WAS NOT! Not to mention that, although it was supposed to be a smash burger, it shouldn't have been see-thru and PAPER-THIN. I highly DO NOT recrecommend buying from this food truck. It will be a waste of your time, taste buds and money! Go buy a Krysral burger, you'd enjoy it more.

    Amazing Bison Burger!!!…read more Brady was our server, super polite and great manners. Thank you, we will be back! :)

    Recommended for quick service, inventive burgers, and a nice tap line…read more First visit, we had Hannah for service, actually brilliant. It wasn't busy, but it is a bit loud, a fun loud. It's very much open inside; there is outside seating. The FoMoCo decor is inventive and unique. The menu sports clever burger designs named for notable locals, I thought it was a nice nod. The AC was acting up; by the end of the meal we were a little moist. I'm sure it's probably already fixed. The restroom was clean, with interesting decor, worth a look. We started with two drafts and a starter order of onion rings. Beers & water arrived promptly, the onion rings shortly after. The onion rings came stacked on an oil funnel, good app-sized sharable portion, good flavor and tasted fresh. The rings came with a ketchup and a ranch sauce portion cup. Maybe try something different with the sauce, like a remoulade or whipped cherry pepper in mayonnaise. My wife was pleased with her ahi tuna bowl. I liked my veggie patty (Green Clean), but with the avocado it became a bit of a mess to eat. The included French fries are essentially perfect. We bought a take out sandwich, burnt ends on toast, it turned out to be great and a nice option. Three full meals, the app & two drafts came to about $85. The onion rings aren't a great value, we'll try something more interesting next time.. Draft prices seem ok; I'd bet there are, but didn't notice, drink specials on the bar menu. Hannah was the bright face of a well-functioning team. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and we wouldn't mind coming back. Ford's looks very competitive in this business.
