Delicious, fresh food and great service! We made the one-hour drive to try The Pantry based on…read morereviews and it was well worth the trip. They have an extensive menu and bring fresh biscuits with flavored butters (vanilla cinnamon and banana strawberry!) to start your meal. We split the garlic-breaded cheese curds for an appetizer, and I had the southern chicken salad while my husband had a cheeseburger and fries. We both agreed that The Pantry does classics well, and we'll be back to try other tasty menu items. Add to the good food that our server, Victoria, was friendly and shared how much she enjoys working with the team and the owner, David. It shows when a staff builds a positive environment, and we appreciated their efforts. Thanks for a great meal - and the snickerdoodles!

I had salad, broccoli, cabbage and open faced meatloaf. I didn't want any gravy on the meatloaf…read more The service was very good. My order was taken right away. I had the salad first while waiting on the meal plate. The salad was big and very good. When the hot foods arrived, I had the meatloaf first...I had been craving a good meatloaf all week. This was not it. I think it didn't taste like ground beef at all. Maybe it was meat extenders, not sure. And the herbs or spices used were strange tasting. The broccoli and cabbage were fine. I heard another table bragging about the fried chicken. I will try that next time. The breakfast has never failed and service is an A plus.

We got seat really fast , place was packed, but our server was the best thing from the whole place , after that everything goes down hill . Im a big montecristo sandwich fan and saw they have it here , so I order that , I knew it was going to be bad when the waitress ask me how you like your eggs ( Montecristo doesn't have eggs ) so I got a called montecristo breakfast sandwich... then wife order the eggs and pork chops , they had a weird stunk smell , like they were past due., so like I said only thing good of this place it was the server , don't recommend this place at all

The Back Porch in Lake Alfred is one of those rare spots that instantly makes you feel at home…read more From the moment I walked in, I was personally welcomed by the owner, who was incredibly warm and genuinely appreciative that I stopped in during my lunch break. He chatted with me, made sure I was taken care of, and added such a personal touch to the whole experience--something you don't get often anymore. The food is served in the cutest wooden picnic baskets, which sets the tone right away. I ordered the soup, side salad, and sandwich combo, and everything was fresh and comforting. The butternut squash soup was rich and creamy with pumpkin seeds on top, the chicken and brie wrap was pressed perfectly, and the pasta salad tasted garden-fresh with a crisp bite of veggies. What I love most is the atmosphere. You can choose to dine on their beautiful shaded porch--full of old Florida charm--or head inside to their cozy dining room if you want to escape the sun. Both spaces have that relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. The Back Porch is a gem: great food, thoughtful presentation, and hospitality that truly stands out. If you're near Lake Alfred, this place is absolutely worth the stop.

The menu has several options to choose from and the customer service is great. I had the French toast which was filled with flavor crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle just the way I like here the home fries were unseasoned, but with the little salt and pepper, they still were good. The biscuits taste homemade. The bacon was crispy and the grits were creamy. Overall, the experience was great, and the food was delicious. Definitely will be returning again.

Do yourself a favor and have lunch at Lucille's in Winter Haven. Great menu with so many choices…read more We had the handcut chips and the fried cauliflower appetizers and they were delicious. The Angus burger is so flavorful and was cooked to perfection! My friend's buffalo chicken salad was delicious and enough for three meals. Can't fault a single thing. Our server, Kaley, was amazing, as well. So personable and steered us right on the menu. Def will be going back!

It's always a clear knockout when we eat here…read more There's no way we will ever go to Winter Haven without stopping at Lucille's. It is just that good. We take a trip to Legoland every now and again and every time we do we come and eat dinner here. We have loved every single meal. This time I branched out and tried another drink, I tried the sincerely, Lucille. It is vodka with fresh strawberries and basil, and it is amazing. Future Christina this is your new go to drink. My husband got his standard old-fashioned and enjoyed it. For food, I got the chimichurri steak, next time I should remember to get the chimichurri on the side just because my younger son didn't like the green stuff on the steak. The chimichurri is delicious. It was cooked perfectly at medium rare, I got their homemade chips as one of my sides because my kids wanted it. Their chips are so good that was definitely the way to go. I also got green beans which were amazing as well. My older son got the kids mac & cheese with a side of fries. I even loved his mac & cheese. It's definitely not the Kraft mac & cheese. My husband got the barbecue plate. He had mixed vegetables and mashed potatoes and loved all of it. My younger son ate off of all of our plates and we pretty much finished all our food. My younger son then got a dessert of vanilla ice cream with Oreos and he scarfed it down. We've never had a problem getting a seat here because it is a good size restaurant. The staff is very friendly and the food comes out pretty quickly. If you're anywhere close to this restaurant, you should be eating here.
