I am not a fast food person, and Hardee's is not somewhere I'd usually pick even if I do have fast…read morefood. However, something I have always loved here are the cinnamon raisin biscuits. Yummy, soft and sweet biscuits with vanilla icing, it used to be the perfect treat once in awhile. Sadly they had discontinued the biscuits a few years ago which was so disappointing- but recently they had brought them back! This Hardee's I stopped by here and there to again enjoy the biscuits, which they'd make fresh and it was a great experience overall for a fast food spot. But now they've again stopped selling the biscuits so I hope they'll one day again bring them back.

Employees lack of respect and customer service is an understatement. Tiffany P. was taking my order…read morewhile I was inside and was having a side conversation with her co-worker and said the F word at least 5+ times. When she finally got my order she said "okay, you can pay" and then turned around and didn't come back. I paid and stood there for 2-3 minutes while being ignored until I eventually just walked away. When my order was ready they then started arguing over "who's food this is" because Tiffany never communicated with the team that I had ordered. The BLT chicken sandwich was beyond sad and the tomatoes on it were strictly end pieces. If I could leave negative stars I would.

Food is still definitely fresh. The chicken was kind of greasy though. Everything was good. I still…read moreprefer the chicken to be crispier personally. My husband got the spicy tenders and I got regular crispy ones to share with my daughter. The fries are tasty and the macaroni and cheese is super cheesy and delicious. Service is fine, it was late and there weren't a ton of people seated to eat. They have kiosks to order from and no one was at the front counter so we did that. We asked someone to wipe the table down since it was greasy and had crumbs and he came out quickly to clean it for us. The food took a little bit of time, but like I mentioned before - it was all fresh. It was quiet and the ambiance was fine for us. Not much noise so we could all hang out and talk.

I usually check but they had sealed my bag with tape this time because I tried order ahead on the app so you would think they would remember to put the fries in the bag before taping it sealed...nope I paid 29.94 all I left with was a sandwich, some tenders and a milkshake. Too expensive to forget the fries:(

So we called in and let them know hoping to get a remake since the coleslaw taste had spilled over into the chicken, fries, and toast. 0 customer service training I suppose by the response I got, finally after 10 minutes of waiting on the phone for a manager I was told that I would be able to pick up remade items the following day, when I went they gave me two tubs more of their sick rotten coleslaw and no other items , no refund. It's experiences like these that make you want to cook at home and never eat out again.

I've lived in Lakeland for decades. I've heard about this place for years!!!!! They advertise like…read morecrazy. Finally went there today and it is absolutely delicious!!! The Sweet Caroline is good. The bread was fresh. The ratio of meat to bread was good and the service is great. We also had a "child's cheeseburger" and fries. The child size is deceiving because it's full-size and plenty for an adult. I don't know how thick the patty would be for an adult hamburger but the patty was good on the child size burger. The bun was so good; it was buttered and grilled. Perfectly toasted! The store portion has plenty of authentic Italian products you can buy and take home. You can also buy some pre-made Italian dishes to take home and bake. Sad I didn't try this place earlier in my life but I'll be back! They also have a large variety of pre-made and freshly make cookies, cupcakes, cakes and Italian desserts to choose from.

We were looking forward to some delicious food after reading various reviews ... unfortunately, we…read morewere not impressed. While the counter person was very helpful, the food left much to be desired. First, the Italian sub is only available cold and lacked taste .. the cheese had zero flavor, there was no seasoning or herbs to speak of and the bread dry and bland as well. SUBWAY subs are much more tasty. The garden salad's Italian dressing consisted of too much vinegar, zero olive oil and absent any spices or herbs. Finally, the chocolate eclair was too rigid and the custard bland. Very sad because we had high hopes.

He checked back to make sure are order was correct and it was perfect. I had the chicken sandwich with Colby jack cheese and macaroni and cheese. Everything was hot and fresh and good. My Mom had a bowl of the chicken noodle soup. She loved it and it was nice and hot. My brother Jonathan had the nuggets with ranch and fries. He said they were on point! The ambiance is a little better and definitely cleaner than a normal fast food place. Hope to see Fred there next time we come in the restaurant.

They were bits of fried bread crumbs with barely a mouthful of chicken in all 8 nuggets. The pic someone posted with an m&m to show the size was not kidding.

I don't see any management paying attention to these reviews. They should.

I'm not sure what's been going on here lately but the quality of food and customer service has…read morereally gone down. The food always seems to be burned/dried out (probably sitting on the grill too long or dried out in warmer tray) and our fries are never full regardless of the size we order. There's an obvious difference in customer service between the older generations that work there and the younger ones. I understand that some of these people are kids and learning their first job but we've had several instances in the drive through where our card is taken and food is given without either person even saying a word. We make a point to say things like "hi how are you" and "thank you have a good day" but some of these have even failed to yield a response from them. Again that's our experience with the younger ones. The older workers are always much more engaging and professional. I didn't even have Yelp prior to today, but I'm so tired of this being a repeated occurrence so I downloaded it solely to leave this review. When we want McDonalds from now on, I'm going to another store. To pay $13 each meal and have this lack of quality and quantity is just completely unacceptable. Pic of 1 fry is from 1/27/25. Pic of 2 fries is from 2/14/25. There have been many other instances of this occurring but it wasn't until recently that I decided to start documenting this so I could report/review what's happening.

The food is outstanding--fresh, hearty, and packed with flavor. Portions are generous, comfort food is done right, and everything comes out hot and exactly the way it should. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. What really sets this Metro Diner apart, though, is the service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely happy to be there. You're never rushed, never ignored, and always checked on just enough to make the experience perfect. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or just a great cup of coffee and comfort food, Metro Diner Lakeland delivers consistency, quality, and hospitality every single time. Highly recommend--this is one of those places you keep coming back to because it never lets you down.

The whole atmosphere is exactly what you want -- clean, positive, chill, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The ordering experience is so easy. There's a giant menu when you walk in, and then big touchscreen LCD menus that honestly feel like the food court screens at IKEA. Every restaurant should switch to this -- save paper, save plastic, and make life easier for everyone. I built my own bowl and grabbed the kale + Fuji apple smoothie. It's not a thick smoothie -- more like something between a juice and an icy -- but still really refreshing and really good. The bowls come in to-go boxes automatically, so you just ask for a lid if you need one. Super convenient. I highly recommend this spot. I don't eat out much, but I'd definitely go back. They even have an app now with $5 off your first order, which I'll definitely be using because the food was that delicious. As someone who has been vegetarian my whole life and fully vegan since early 2025, I can honestly say this place hit every single mark. Not one bad thing to say. It's that good.

If you are looking for healthy on the go, SoFresh has you covered!…read more It's such a task to find healthy and fresh food on the go. I'm so glad to have found this place. There's such a wide variety of healthy food. Here you will find kale, romaine, zucchini noodles, quinoa, brown rice, chickpeas, black beans cucumber, onions, tomatoes, carrots, nuts/seeds, raisins, avocados, eggs, goat cheese, lean cuts of beef, chicken, salmon and so much more. Since everything is cooked to order, you can customize, add, subtract and really create your own meal. There's a little something for everyone, from salad, wraps, bowls, juices, and even food for kids. I enjoy the fact that I can buy a few bowls to help with meal prepping for the week. It saves me time in the kitchen. Catering is also available so you can share healthy eating with others or utilize it to save money when you are trying to feed your family for a little less. The restaurant is a small but is accommodating with an indoor sitting area and also has a few tables and chairs for outdoor dining as well. Pick up is a breeze you prepay or use Uber Eats/Door Dash simply grab and go from the grab and go area. If you decide to order in the restaurant, you can either use the touch screen or place your order with staff at the register. I just wish there were more locations in Orlando and Kissimmee.
