My wife and I stopped by Love Bird at 2101 Florida Ave S in Lakeland, for a late lunch, and it was…read moreperfect timing. It was 2:00 p.m. and there was no wait to order and our food arrived fast! My wife ordered her favorite, the Southern Classic Salad, which is 2 citrus grilled chicken tenders on a bed of lettuce with a scoop of house-made guac, sliced egg, bacon, tomatoes, red onion, smoked gouda, cilantro corn, croutons and a citrus vinaigrette dressing. It was delicious as usual and a huge portion! She ended up taking half of it home for later. I went with the 2-piece Perfectly Fried Tenders, medium heat with sides of So Gouda Mac and Bourbon Baked Beans. The chicken pieces were quite large and were perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat. The pieces were served on a piece of white bread with a pickle on top! The fried chicken is so good that I could eat here every day! We were both stuffed, so we skipped the Peach Cobbler and Banana pudding this time. It was a beautiful day, so we ate our lunch outside on the patio, entertained by the great 80's music and occasional police siren (since Florida Ave is a busy street). All in all, we had a fantastic time and will be coming back again soon! We both highly recommend Love Bird!

It's funny when you compare size, the grilled one is so small compared to the double fried super breaded other one. I asked for medium heat, but it really tasted mild. The Gouda Mac is good like always, but the dirty fries... Oh my God... So salty!!! You can literally see it's covered in salt crystals!! I only ate like three and had to throw out the rest, what a waste of a side. For dessert, I got their seasonal apple cobbler... Does not hit like the peach cobbler. Way too much cinnamon, not enough caramel just very blah. Overall, really disappointed with my lunch. I was not satisfied at all, and I will probably not be coming back for quite some time.

The service is always great; the food is always outstanding. I love that I can shamelessly order a kid's meal because it's the perfect amount of food for me personally. It's small space with only a couple of tables, and I've always had to wait in a rather long line to order but I already go in expecting that so it's not a bother to me. I always like to give a cash tip to the person who's calling out names and handing out food. They work hard and have to deal with all kinds of personalities. Can't wait ti'll next time.

We were craving a home-cooked comfort meal and they did not disappoint. The fried chicken? Golden, crispy perfection. The mac-n-cheese? Cheesy, creamy heaven.

Because one round wasn't enough, we grabbed a to-go plate of meatloaf, rice & gravy, green beans, and yams for today's lunch goals. They're only open Thursday through Saturday, so plan ahead. The service was top notch!

From the artwork (old signs and decor made from license plates), to the staff (friendly,friendly,friendly) to the food. I had the brisket sloppy Joe, dirty baked beans and a sweet tea.

If you are on a road trip, like us, don't be worried about taking an extra 15 minutes off of I75 to hit this place. And don't forget to squeeze the bbq udders for some extra sauce. :-)
