    Super cute, family-owned walk-up restaurant with outdoor seating only--and honestly, it's the nicest, cleanest outdoor seating I've ever experienced. The picnic tables are all sanded and sealed (no splinters here!), surrounded by matching flower boxes filled with tropical plants. There's plenty of shelter and shade from both the sun and rain, which makes it really comfortable. Service was fast, friendly, and patient (very important, since my husband takes foreverrrrr to order. LoL!). The food came out fresh, hot, and delicious. The chicken and fries were perfectly seasoned, and their signature sauce was spot-on! It was great on the sandwich and absolutely perfect for waffle-fry dunking. I don't drink soda, but I loved that they offer a variety of all-natural sodas, along with tea and lemonade. Parking is a bit tight, but manageable. We drive a large SUV so it shouldn't be a problem for most vehicles. Overall, this place is an absolute gem. From the thoughtful setup to the friendly service and great food, it's clear they care about every detail. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area--you won't be disappointed!

    This is another one of our "must come back" places when we are in Venice. This is our third time…read moreback (three for three). Actually our very first time here we couldn't get a seat because it it that popular. I love their chicken and dumpling soup. This is THE definition of comfort for to me. It tastes like a quality chicken pot pie with actual goodies, none of this whole farmland of potatoes, carrot, and peas plus some broth and butter and a shred of chicken tail and calling it a "chicken soup." This was a hearty soup with chunks of white meat chicken and soft dumplings. Basically chicken dumpling soup as they say, vs potatoes cube soup. It is a must have. I really did myself a disservice and only got a cup.... on my own vacation after working throughout the entire pandemic on-site. The gulf shrimp platter (I got blackened) absolutely delicious. I love the Bourbon Sriracha sauce and used it as a dipping sauce for my fries. You can also never go wrong with hearty mashed potatoes and their gravy. My fiance got some brisket pork combo (in the entrees section) plus mac and cheese side... so good!! This is a must go to place, and the staff are super pleasant. Zero complaints from me!

    I went to Darrell's casual Southern restaurant to get some BBQ but I chickened out. Quite…read moreliterally. I couldn't resist the offer of lightly battered fried chicken livers AND a two piece fried chicken platter w two sides. The livers were very good- right out of the fryer and not heavily battered. I don't know why but it was served with a side of mild buffalo sauce. You could also dab it in some of their homemade BBQ sauces. The dark meat fried chicken was also very good- lightly battered and right out of the fryer. I chose collards and mashed potatoes w gravy. The greens were tender and very tasty. The mashed potatoes were also good. The sides and a square of sweet cornbread rounded out the southern comfort food platter. Beer and wine is served along with sweet teas and soda. The servers were friendly but were slammed going table to table. I thought about a slice of the frozen peanut butter pie to go but bailed on it. My meal was very good. This is the spot where the locals eat.

    I used to regularly work in Lakeland and I had three places that I would eat when I was in…read moreLakeland. Lovebird was one of my three places. So you can imagine how happy I was when they decided to open a love bird in Winter Haven just a few miles from my permanent office. I think this location is even better than the Lakeland location because it is a little bigger than the parking lot is much better. They still have that absolutely fabulous crispy fried chicken that is so delicious. I love that you can cater it to your personal spice level. I like mine medium, but my mom prefers hers with no spice. Their fried chicken stays crispy even when it gets cold. Sometimes I'll go and grab myself some lunch while I'm at work and then get some fried chicken to take home to my husband for dinner and it's still crispy and juicy and fabulous. I also love that they have a meal that was invented for me. My favorite thing to order is called, The my girl ain't hungry. It consists of one giant chicken, tender in your choice of fried or grilled with a side and a drink for eight dollars. It is the perfect portion for me. Now, when people come to visit me in Winter Haven, lovebird is always one of the places I recommend we grab lunch.

    A repair technician recommended this restaurant. He lives in Kissimmee but loves this place…read more I got the large white (2 breast/wing quarters) and 2 sides. I plan to take 1 piece & side to work tomorrow. I got the skin on fries to eat now & the jalapeño bacon cream corn to work. You have to choose a heat level. The levels are from no heat to what they call -why? I chose the why. It was delicious and habanero hot. The chicken was amazing! The crispy coating was seasoned with the habanero. Soooo yummy. They include a dipping sauce. Pick your pleasure. I'll definitely be back to try the many ways they prepare chicken. Fortunately there is a location in Lakeland too.
