I decided to stop by the strawberry hut for a Cuban and a milkshake after hearing some positive word of mouth suggestions. The best part of the visit was how kind the staff was. That's about where the good stuff ended. It was peak lunch time and the restaurant was empty. Despite having a drive thru is was completely boarded up. Online ordering is suggested online but there's no place to place an order. The banana shake I had had an alright taste but the banana bits had a weird texture that made me question if it was fresh or not. The 8 inch Cuban I had I asked to be double pressed. I like it that way so that the Cuban is hot all the way through. That being said the Cuban was barely hot and the inside cool. Almost like a cold cut sandwich. There are other places in Lakeland I would point people to for a classic hot Cuban. read more

Strawberry Hut - Oreo shake, banana shake, and 8 inch original Cuban - Sandwiches Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

Waited forever and left. Hope the food for everyone is better then the service. Worker on the phone.

Service was good, but the "Cuban sandwiches" did not inpress me an it was misleading. They had items such as a "Philly Cuban" and a "Turkey Cuban" when they should be a Cheesesteak and whichever sandwich; these "Cubans" also had option of lettuce, tomato, etc. A Cuban sandwich has specific ingredients: ham, pork, mayo, mustard, Swiss cheese and pickles; don't recall seeing that specific option. And it's typically hot pressed, which these sandwiches barely were. Advertise it as a sandwich or sub, but not a Cuban, because any Cuban sees that and would be very disappointed. The Spanish bean soup and the shakes were delicious, I'll give them that. The inside was very clean and quiet. The building is pretty old and the A/C was not working, but it still was cool enough with the fans. read more

While searching for a good salad near my hotel strawberry hut came up a few times. The service was subpar. When I walked in I was not greeted. The cashier just looked at me. I said hello to her and she just stared. I said hello again and she finally spoke. I really wanted to leave but I was starving and ready to get to my hotel. I ordered the 4 inch turkey Cuban and a Greek salad. She asked if I wanted my sandwich "all the way" but didn't tell me what that meant. I took a chance and just says yes. Later found out that means: mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato and cheese. There food was ready fast and I headed straight to my room. The sandwich is pressed like a panini and the bread was soft on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside. There was more bread than toppings but still good. The salad was delicious! I wish they would use red onion instead of white but that's just a personal preference. The food is 4 stars but the service is 1star! I won't be back. read more

Would have given a 5-star rating based on value, food quality, food taste, and friendliness of staff, but the building and dining area were run down (and a/c was broken.) I had a 4" pressed pork Cuban sandwich for $4.00 (there are also larger sizes available, but this was the smallest and the perfect size for me for lunch.) It was warm, tasty, just the right size st an excellent price. I am a lover of strawberry shortcake dessert and when I saw this on the menu, I couldn't resist (especially for $4.00! It was a piece of pound cake topped with strawberries and whipped topping.) Vanilla ice cream was also available as a dessert topping. I chose carryout. Couldn't beat an $8.00 tasty lunch! read more

If I could give zero stars I would growing up in ybor city, I know what a good Cuban is , this place is not it ! 7 years winning best Cuban ? I'm sorry idk who's judging but this is cafeteria cold cut sandwich on Cuban bread with fake butter ! mojo pork??? None to be found on any of 3 sandwiches we brought all sliced cold cuts processed meat!, pressed cuban? nope still ice cold only bread was warm and greasy and no taste but mayo! Homemade Spanish bean soup??? Not in any house I want to eat in! I think not, Nope Spanish beans with cubed ham and no seasoning! If your looking for a cuban don't stop here Publix subs are 10 times better than this place and you get more for you money! read more

10 second Tom must've answered the phone at the Lakeland location to ask me if I could hold. called at 4:20 to place a pick up order and sat on the phone listening to the cashier talk about the door and needing a flat head screwdriver. NEVER PICKED THE PHONE BACK UP! only reason I gave it the second star is because the food is great. customer service could do better read more

Excellent authentic Tampa Ybor City Cubans, and I know. Three sizes. Fairly priced. Nice addition to Lakeland sandwich scene. Though high-traffic area makes it tricky to get in and out so plan carefully if traveling by car. read more

The wife and i are here right now . It looks of the dinning room is kind of dingy and we got sweet and unsweet tea and it looks and tast like water and sugar water. It took a few minutes for the ssandwiches but the food was ok. read more

Drive all the way overs there and the place looked closed, run down so I googled another restaurant and left. I won't be back

Great sandwiches, friendly staff..but mother of God it can be slow at times. If you come here, have enough time to wait, especially if they are busy. Otherwise the best in town. read more

Just yummy sandwiches and salads for a great price. We wanted just something small and decided to run in here. They have "Cuban" sandwiches which just mean your average sandwiches on Cuban bread and toasted nicely. For less than $6 we got a "4 inch sub (which seemed way bigger), chips and a drink. Two of us got salads which were loaded with things for less than $7. We also decided to get some treats since they had milkshakes and hurricanes. Everything was delicious! The breakfast items looked yummy too. The ladies working were super friendly and helpful (like making sure we ordered the way we really wanted and double asking). Would highly recommend this little place. read more

This was out of the blue swing by place ,but I have to say is a pleasant surprise,nice quiet place,there's a lot of seats so you can bring your crew.Now to the sub everything seems and tastes fresh,good portions and you can order salads and desserts they have soft cream ice cream that you know will be coming back for its a nice place thanks!!! read more

Strawberry Hut - Philly steak cuban - Sandwiches Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

I absolutely love the strawberry shakes at Strawberry Hut! The shake taste fresh and delicious. I honestly have never tried anything else besides the shakes here. However it is worth a trip just for the strawberry shake. The hours are a bit strange. There have been several times when I have drove by and they were not open. I would suggest checking out their hours before making the drive. The staff is always very friendly and provide excellent quick service! read more

I loved my sandwich, i got the veggie with no olives, pressed and a side of chips. The chips were great! Cheddar jalapeño and the sandwich had great taste! Could of used a little more cheese and tomato but id order again! ... the restaurant itself was a little run down and needed some upgrades. The workers were sweet but not very professional and complained openly about having to make the food we had just ordered. ... oh and the milkshakes are very good! read more

Today my wife and I finally had a chance to go to For lunchtime. And we was not disappointed at all. we only tried the fried fish and fried shrimp dinner this time. We did a dine in. And for the restaurant. Such a wonderful friendly environment. And may I add isn't a great location so please stop by if you're in the area. You will not be disappointed read more

I finally have experienced my first Cuban! I'm a fan. The decor of this place is super low key, but it seemed to be clean. The menu is basic but there wasn't a thing on there that I didn't think looked great! In our party, one ordered a hamburger Cuban and another ordered a peanut butter cup hurricane. They both liked and recommended their items. This place also delivers, which I definitely plan to take advantage of on those days I don't bring a lunch. Check out this local place! read more

I'm in town on business and I found this place accidentally. I'm happy I found this place. Their prices are very reasonable and you get a lot of food for your money. I order a turkey Cuban and it was awesome. The food was fresh and delicious. read more

Strawberry Hut - Strawberry shortcake (to go) - Sandwiches Near Me - Lakeland, Florida

I still give this location one-star less than the location in Plant City. However the staff have improved. Their sweet tea is right on point. And their sandwiches as far as humans are concerned .and the absolute gold bread is pressed supremely the flavoring wonderfully came around and became the Plant City Spot which we now luckily have in Lakeland. The only negative that I would say that I see is that it's too quiet in the restaurant there's not a TV there's not music playing there's not hustle and bustle of the kitchen some people me like that but I wouldn't mind seeing the news sandwich get down in my belly. read more

They have repeatedly ignored my requests for no pickle or mustard. I adore the shakes and come here frequently, but they mess up my order every. damn. time. the strawberry shake never disappoints tho read more

I decided to try out this place for breakfast this morning and was highly disappointed. If you are looking for authentic Cuban good this is not the place. I should have known it would not be great when my sandwich was put in the microwave vs the panini press....Yuck. read more

The food is delicious made fresh none of the food is sitting there waiting for you it's made fresh hot and delicious on top of that known that they have the best Cubans they have great salads wonderful soup and their hurricane shake is to die for while dining here they actually came out with samples of their shakes and I thought that was so unique and different allowing you to try it before you buy it I definitely will be back here for another hurricane shake they also now have their breakfast buffet like they have a plant city so that is something I will want to try next read more

The food here is always super fresh and delicious. My favorite is the Greek salad. They ALWAYS load it up enough for another meal and serve it with a fresh piece of Cuban bread. read more

This is not because of the food. My husband and I love the food at this place especially the Philly Cuban and the original Cuban. However, you should be warned when I went to buy sandwiches today I had to cancel my order because I watched two of the girls making the sandwiches have their masks pulled down below their chin, bent over breathing on my sandwiches. This is very dangerous right now. My husband and I are both diabetic and I have to worry about being at higher risk of death with COVID-19. read more

I'm from plant city, where the Strawberry Hut originated, & often rode there to get Strawberry Shortcake and a Turkey sub & was excited when they opened 1 in Lakeland. read more

The bread on my "Cuban" made my mouth bleed, but the strawberry shortcake was on Point!

Good Food, the best tasting Strawberry Shake I've had! And the Cuban Sandwich is the best I had so.

The place was very quiet when we entered. We were greeted immediately by a friendly girl. We ordered the Cuban and when we received the meat was cold so it made the sandwich not as pleasant to eat. I also had the bean soup which was quite hot and yummy. read more

Counter service to order your food. There is a big menu board above the counter. Seems the specialty here are Cuban sandwiches and its variations such as pork, turkey, ham & cheese, etc. on soft Cuban bread. The regular Cuban is basically a ham sandwich, no pork roast. Since I didn't want butter on it, they didn't press it and ended up being a cold sandwich you would get from a Subway. Spacious interior, but the tables need to be cleaned better. read more

First time going here and after reading all the review I was excited because I come from the midwest and Cuban Sandwiches are few and in between. Disappointed oh so disappointed. They gave me someone sandwich that was sitting around and the chance to get rid of it just happened to come up when I order over the phone. I order it a certain way and it was so different. One of the things that made it worse was the fact, you could obviously see that the sandwich had lettuce before, why you ask, because there were remnants of salad and the edges were wet and what does lettuces do to bread. I called to complain all though they were apologetic, I was offered 10 percent of my next sandwich. Really 85 cents of my next sandwich, and I tipped them that was beautiful just beautiful. I won't be going back and for those who do check your food before you leave. Email the company and they did not bother to get in touch with me. But once they read it here I am probalay sure the will. I gave it 2 stars because of the other ingredients of the sandwich. If you going to make a Cuban make a Cuban, where is the PERNIL!!!, or just call them Panini. read more

Good sandwich but cold in the middle. I didn't complain cause the bread was perfectly toasted and the problem was really too much meat, but who would complain about that? Great strawberry shake with lots of strawberry pieces. The ambiance was that of a re-adapted old fast food place soooo not good but plenty of seating and lots of customers were doing carry out. You place and pick up your order at the counter. Overheard a customer ask mgr why no napkins were available (none in sight, you have to ask for them at the counter) and she answered "because people around here like to steal and stuff their purses with them". The dining area seemed kind of stark and unwelcoming. I was too far from home to do carry out but if I go again I'll look for a park nearby and eat there instead for more pleasant surroundings. read more

Great and pleasant cudtomer service. Delicious sandwiches. Will definitely be going back time and time again.

This place has the best food. Its hard to believe the neighbors are not out of business. Always a great staff that will give a great and unique experience each time. Good Christian ran company. They have a large variety of options. You can call ahead to beat wait times. The decor is beautiful and laid back. Very clean! If you have not tried The Strawberry Hut yet you are definitely missing out! read more

Started off great, now the Cuban sandwiches are basically big expensive ham sandwiches. Hardly any pork or anything else pn the sandwich. Shouldn't call this a cuban. read more

Great sandwiches and the strawberry shake rocks! The half sandwich was more than I could eat at lunch.
