To top it off, we had the Fuzzy Old Fashioned! It was a top ten day and we hardily recommend this place!!! UPDATE: While the experience last time was fantastic, upon leaving and discussing our bill we realized it was higher than expected. We returned today and due to our last financial experience, totaled up our bill before we got it. It was around 80 per our calculations. When we finally got our bill, our waitress verbally told us what it was. And to our not surprise, it was once again, higher than it should have been. My daughter, who had heard about our previous experience asked for an itemized receipt which was given to us rather reluctantly. We reviewed it and the burger and drinks were more expensive than what it said on the menu! Our old fashioned which we ordered in the specials menu was $9 instead of the posted $8 and her burger was $16 instead of the $10 posted. She brought it to the attention of our waitress and she admitted that the drink prices were increased but not updated on the menu.. when asked about the burger she claimed it's because we got fries instead of chips but SHE was the one who asked us if we wanted fries, chips, or potato salad. She tried claiming the $6 was fries... and even if that was the case, $6 for fries??? Without a note on the menu? So my recommendation is CHECK YOUR BILL and ask for an itemized receipt. I find it weird that they automatically don't also offer itemized receipts.... So hopefully when we return, it will be updated to avoid future issues...

To start, Rachel is a fantastic bartender. This is definitely a dive bar with a lot of character. There are pool tables, darts and a juke box, as well as 3 TVs to watch sports. There is karaoke every day except Monday and Tuesday. Pool tournaments on Monday and Thursday. And they have live music in the fall and winter on Sundays. It is literally the neighborhood bar because aint much around here in Lake Wales. The regulars are anything but regular. They are extraordinary, at least the ones I met on my visit. What a great group of friendly individuals. I felt welcome from the first moment I entered. Now the air conditioning here isn't the best, but it is cooler than outside and if you don't know, Florida is hot at least 10 months out of the year. Oh, and the wifi is good here, password: coldbeer (all lowercase no spaces). Ordered wings here, five naked extra crispy. 5 for $7 or 10 for $13. I ordered them extra crispy naked and they almost came the way I asked, except they added seasoning salt at the end, which turned out to be okay. They were a little on the small side, but they got the job done. Later on ordered 10 Buffalo and they were also decent. We did Karaoke and it was like the, "Time of my life... and I never felt this way before." An absolutely good time, just for the vibe. There are really great people and good times to be found at Ya'll Come Back Saloon.

This is a casual restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating and it is seat yourself. We picked an open table outside and sat there for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us. They then sent the server assigned to our table (Samantha). It was a quick smile-free greeting and she took our drink orders, then when serving our drinks she took our food order. After serving our food, she never stopped by our table again, although she stopped by her other tables around us several times. We had to stop her to ask for a box and our check.....she never offered drink refills even. We ordered a single cheeseburger with bacon and a side of onion rings ($14.74), a Fish Filet with no side ($14.50) and an order of Tater Kegs ($11.50). The cheeseburger with bacon looked great but didn't live up to the appearance. It was kind of tasteless....even the bacon was disappointing. The onion rings were crisp and pretty perfect. Fish Filet was large and tasty although we really would have liked more tartar sauce. The Tater kegs were also large and tasty. It was nice sitting outside with view of the lake and boat activity.

I had the BLT and it was piled high, albeit they were extremely thin slices (I did not know it could be done, sliced so thin, to be honest), but the flavors were there and I enjoyed it very much. I had the in-house potato chips, which were barely okay. Next time I will upgrade to the onion rings, like my wife did, which were very good. Her fish sandwich consisted of a singular solid filet which was amazing. She liked it very much. The beer we consumed was ice cold and came out in seriously frosted mugs. Two thumbs up there!

I never expected this to happen..... on Friday June 28th, 2025 my friends and I were grossed out by guys who I guess never have seen women a day in their life! This man harassed us the entire night, and made sure to go everywhere we went. While talking to our friend that was a regular about it she decided it was best to tell the bartenders, (who did nothing btw). They did nothing, they ignored the situation and kept serving the man drinks. The guy than kept on with harassing and locking in on me and my friends, we decided to leave because nothing was being done about it (keep in mind it's happening right in front of them), the man follows us outside, we get into our vehicle and leave. He follows us all the way to 27 where I had to pull into the police station. That's when he decided not to follow anymore. So I was able to make it back home and safe. No thanks to the bartenders and the facility. The point of this is, the bartenders knew what was going on! And instead of trying to help multiple women they focused more on getting a "good" tip from a creep and allowed him to stay at the bar. They are fully aware of the man because one of the girls told us he was weird. We've spoke to one of them days before about this and she said "if it happens again, let us know" welllllllll you see how that went. Ladies. I don't recommend!

Happy Hour: just for some drinks and unfortunately not explained by the waitress and not indicated on the menu we got We had a watermelon smash (12 dollar) and a harborside margrita (13 dollar) which were very good. We ordered the gator bites (18,50 dollar) ... hugh portion. The drunken mussels (16.50 dollar) were delicious but too fast too cold We ended with a pineapple rum cake (13.50 dollar - for me too sweet) and a NY cheesecake (10.50 dollar) which was delicious. Total of the bill: 116.63 dollar. We decided NOT to tip, due to the fact we got a surcharge fee because we paid with a credit card ‍ In all these years, we NEVER had this Sorry guys, it's that or a tip.

The…read moreoverall vibe was chaotic, hot, humid, and sub-par cleanliness with profanity-laced dollar bills stapled all over. Florida! I'm certain the condiment bottles in scattered baskets never get cleaned. I never leave poor reviews, but potential guests must be warned of this place. My elderly aunt and I arrived at 4:10pm after driving an hour to this place for a late lunch. It was Father's Day, so the place was packed and busy. So busy, that the wait staff were frantically running around the place. Upon arrival, we were greeted by a young hostess who looked as if she were in a total daze. We were told there would be a wait, though an approximate time was not given, so we decided to saddle up to the bar outside which was filthy with wet coasters and squeezed lime wedges and trash littered all over the floor. When we were finally texted that our table was ready, at 4:50pm, we were sat outside at a table with a dirty ashtray. We placed our order and waited for another 30 minutes for a two salads and bread (served with "butter", which was really an oily margarine with herbs). Only one salad made it to the table, and the fried pickles were brought 10 minutes before my salad was served with nervous laughter by our waitress. The manager did come to our table to apologize for our waiting, so I politely requested a free beer for our trouble, which was denied. I work at a brewery and give free draft beer if someone has to wait more than 5 minutes! So, she offered a cheesecake instead, which we thanked her for (and which costs their business more than a free draft pour, but I digress). Another 25 minutes pass, which places us at 5:45pm, over 1.5 hours past our arrival. The food finally comes to the table. I placed two orders for hushpuppies, but only one order made it to the table. They were not very good at all. My aunt ordered shrimp with cocktail sauce, but it wasn't cocktail sauce. It was salsa! The waitress explained to us that seating had recently been expanded, but the kitchen staff had not, which was more than obvious. In the end, our food was comped 100%, but the poor experience really ruined our appetite, so we didn't finish our food. While we did have some beers and a cocktail, at no point were we offered water, and the free cheesecake the polite yet condescending manager offered never made it to the table. They didn't have the good sense to tell folks at the door that the wait time was closer to an hour, completely overwhelming themselves instead of taking care of the large parties that were already dining. Gators aren't the only thing to beware of at Cherry Pocket!

Looking at the reviews already posted makes this place seem bipolar. Maybe it has everything to do with the day of the week, the cooks/chefs on staff and/or managers/wait staff present. This was a Saturday, so.... The better half wanted to sit indoors and the DIL outdoors. A compromise was made and the table selected was in between. The service was exceptional by our waitress (I wish we could recall her name). A solo musician played mellow music and had good vocals. Very relaxing atmosphere. All the food ordered was tasty and abundant. The highlight was the Grouper sandwich the better half raved about, even the day after she was talking about it. The meals came with a tasty brown bread and house salad, which was a nice addition. The drinks were not watered down and well made, at a price point that was quite acceptable. We all look forward to returning; but it may need to another Saturday if that's when they have the A-Team working.
