The overall vibe and everything was amazing for a cute little night out tonight! The Cuban Eggrolls…read morecaught our eye on the menu and when the waitress mentioned them as well I knew we had to try them and they didn't disappoint! My partner said they were the best eggrolls he's ever had and he is a picky one. The Buffalo Mac & Cheese was delicious and how crispy the chicken was made it even better! My partner ate their Okee Smash burger in probably under a minute too, he was so ecstatic about this place! We found a new hidden gem in Lakeland! We can't wait to go back!

Small portions for the amount of money and messy meals…read more That's what everyone on the table stated.. One person counted 14 fries for his meals. I did the simple burger and it was way too simple. A 4 for 4 from Wendy's. Lol This place should be rename "just beer".

This is a great location in an old federal building. Nice decor for this Smiths American Tavern…read more The bartender met us at the door, due to it being the middle of the day, and business being a bit slower, and we opted to sit at the bar. He was very social and answered all our questions and socialized about personal life as well. We ordered the Cuban eggrolls, and they were quite good but had smaller cubes of ham as opposed to pictures showing slices in some older pictures posted to this establishment. The drinks were spot-on. Although I may sound disappointed, I'm looking forward to trying more on the menu that they have to offer. I plan to return to try more. Recommended!

Smith's American Tavern is in historic downtown Lakeland and located in a converted post office…read more It is spacious inside, has a nice size bar area and plenty of TVs to watch sporting events. The atmosphere is dive bar friendly and there are so many cool niche areas for photos. Really loved the raised unfinished ceiling and the naked white brick wall which covered the side wall of the tavern. When you enter there is a hostess to great you. And our server almost appeared immediately. She explained the menu to us and the specials. What a great first impression. Unfortunately, there was a key piece of info we missed. There is a full bar, draft beer options and a decent wine selection. I ordered a draft beer and a flight of Mimosas. The beer was good, the mimosa flight not so much. Oh, and they have brunch specials on Saturday and Sunday, including unlimited mimosas at a 2 hour limit. For food, ordered the classic breakfast plate and a breakfast burger. Food was pretty good, but the burger was from a frozen patty, so not the best. Unfortunately they have some policy where they charge an extra $1 for the eggs. It is posted in the front, but nowhere on the menu. Suffice to say that experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Pun intended. They did remove the $1 but it took more effort that I would have liked and unfortunately the review and the server's tip suffered as a result.

Wings Wings Wings!!! This place is a bar, make no mistake…read more(family friendly by day)- so there is some pretty standard bar fare. But the wings... They have all the options- boneless, breaded, naked, flats only, drums only, extra crispy... And a TON of sauces and dry rubs- everything from the usual; bbq, buffalo, garlic parm- to really wild flavors like PB and J and Cinnamon Toast Crunch! My absolute favorite is the gold bbq (think Carolina mustard bbq). Also the honey garlic dry rub! My one critique- I wish they would let you order more than one sauce flavor on the smaller orders of wings. 5 wings get one choice of sauce- that's understandable. But an order of 10 wings only comes with one flavor too. You'd have to get 2 orders of 5 to get 2 flavors, which is more expensive of course. They have great fries- they are always super hot, crispy and golden. Their corn nuggets are also sweet, delicious, hot, poppable little nuggets. They have pick-up/to-go, and dine in. We've done both- but if you want hot, crispy wings- dine in. Service is no-frills, quick and efficient. To-go orders have always been ready early for us, so plan accordingly so you don't end up with soggy wings! This place is a wild and crazy, hidden gem for wing aficionados!

We ordered wings for take out on a Wednesday night. Parking was a bit hectic but it was Bingo night…read more. The wings were conveniently packed into a metal tray.

I couldn't eat it all and took it home for lunch the next day. I also had two margaritas and boy does the bartender know how to make them. I think her name was Emma, but not 100%. We went to watch the Stanley cup game and while it wasn't on a tv when we got there, but after asking, they got it on for us.

Been coming here since 1987 before it moved to its current location never had a bad meal here ever…read more I've only had bad service one time in 38 years, this place is great. Food is outstanding also the service is amazing. Alot of tv's any game or sport you want not that I'm into sports. They always decorate the interior for the holidays too. I'm pretty sure the best wing sauce here is called Golden Dragon if you haven't tried it you really should they have all kinds of sauces though. I didn't take any pictures this time I normally do for reviews but it was just wings so this time around

The Alw house holds a special place in my heart for two reason. 1) It's home to legit the best meal…read moreknown to man.... The Zinger Mountsin Melt... and 2) It was my husband and I's first date spot! Every year we try and hit up an Ale house to celebrate the anniversary of our first date! He always changes it up, but I ALWAYS get a Mountain Melt. It's sooooooo goooooddddddddd! Fries, cheese, bacon, scallions and buffalo tenders what more could a girl ask for. Then you smother it in ranch. Yummmmmmmmmmm. Picture Homer Simpson and how he feels about beer and makes that signature catch phrase! While Lakeland is new to us the service is spot on, food so fresh, and always a great time! We will Be back!
