The Apple Lounge & Grill

Apple Lounge & Grill has some of the best wings in Polk County. We started with the fried pickle…read morespears, but the real stars are the wings--crispy, saucy, and paired with a house-made dill ranch that doesn't miss. We tried the Mango Wango along with the garlic parmesan/medium buffalo combo, and both were excellent. Wednesday's $1 wing special is hard to beat. Good drinks, plenty of dartboards and pool tables, and an overall fun hangout spot. Only downside is that smoking is allowed inside the lounge. If that's an issue for you, I'd recommend calling your order in and grabbing it to-go. Our sever also addressed us by name and kept up with our drinks for the evening.

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!

It was our first visit in 10 years and now I'm wondering why. Dinner was AMAZING! We ordered the…read moreloaded smokehouse handheld with brisket. Perfectly cooked brisket, 2 huge yummy onion rings, juicy and crunchy coleslaw, and delicious pickles! I had the honey drizzled sweat potato fries, my sister had a garden salad. They have 3 different sauces to complement your meal (I tried all 3!) The only thing better than the food was the service. Izzy was our server and he was above and beyond the expectation. Attentive, knowledgeable and personable, definitely ask to be sat in his section for an excellent experience. Restaurant was well lit but soft and the floor was quiet enough to enjoy conversation. They do have a bar that seemed lively and fun and I saw advertisements for happy hour drinks and plates. Looking forward to going back soon. Prime Rib on Thursday nights seems to be calling my name.

The second we walked in, the smell hit me like, "Cancel your goals. You live here now." Smoky, delicious, slightly illegal levels of good. We were greeted and seated by a super nice guy who said, "Patrick will be right with you." Two minutes later... Patrick shows up. Five minutes later... Patrick brings drinks. Ten minutes later... Patrick brings food. At some point I leaned over to Ross and whispered, "Where is the original guy?? Did Patrick eat him??" Nope. SAME MAN. Sir is host, server, possibly chef, and I'm 90% sure he rotated the earth slightly to speed up our service. Patrick sold me on the Prime Rib sandwich like a seasoned car salesman and I folded immediately. Ross got the loaded smokehouse sandwich because he likes to pretend he makes responsible decisions. The food came out fast and looking disrespectfully good. I blacked out somewhere between bite one and "I should stop." I did not stop. I have no regrets. My diet has filed a missing persons report. And let's circle back to Patrick--this man has the energy of three employees, a double espresso, and unresolved childhood dreams. I want whatever he's having. I would follow him into battle... or at least back for dessert. As The Terminator once said, "I'll be back." Mostly because I found out Patrick works Wednesday-Saturday... and apparently those are now my "nutritional delusion" days. Would 100% trust my GPS to ruin my plans again.

Sauvage

We were in Winter Haven, FL, for the weekend celebrating my friend's 50th birthday, and before…read moreheading back home on Sunday, we wanted to find a nice brunch spot with interesting, unique entrées and cocktails. That's when we came across Sauvage, a Polynesian craft bar & kitchen located in the heart of Winter Haven. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was right--vibrant, tropical, trendy, and fun. And then we spotted two retro arcade games--Mortal Kombat II and Street Fighter Turbo--that guests can play while waiting for their food. Talk about nostalgia! That definitely took us back to our childhoods. Okay, okay... I'm showing our age. Let's get back to the food! The Brunch Sauvage's menu combines Polynesian-inspired cuisine with American favorites and creative twists, which immediately caught our attention. We decided to share two entrées: Duck Confit Benedict Duck confit served over crispy hash browns, topped with poached eggs, hollandaise, and chives. Brunch Scallion Pancake A savory scallion pancake topped with scrambled eggs, cheese, millionaire bacon, island sauce, and sweet Thai chili, served with a side of grits. Both dishes were different, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I especially loved that each entrée came served in its own personalized cast-iron skillet. It made the presentation feel rustic and unique while keeping everything warm. And the portions were perfectly sized for brunch--satisfying without being overwhelmingly heavy. And Then There Was the Cocktail... We couldn't visit a Polynesian craft bar without trying one of their creative cocktails! We went with the Mango Sticky Rice Milk Punch -- made with coconut-washed brandy, mango soju, five-spice, and vanilla. This cocktail was cool, light, fruity, and refreshing, with just enough of that tropical flavor to make it feel like the perfect summer brunch drink. Honestly, I really enjoyed it! Sauvage was such a fun find for our Sunday brunch. Between the tropical atmosphere, creative Polynesian-American menu, unique cocktails, nostalgic arcade games, and beautifully presented food, it was definitely more than just your typical brunch spot. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well-portioned, and thoughtfully presented. And the fact that we discovered it while celebrating a 50th birthday weekend made the experience even better. Would I come back? Absolutely! Next time we're in Winter Haven, we're skipping brunch and coming back for dinner. I'm definitely curious to see what Sauvage is doing with their dinner menu. Sauvage gets a "we'll definitely be back" from us!

Jen was amazing and was on top of making sure we ordered the best food. Top tier service. I'm definitely coming back!
