    I'm a big fan of good food halls, so finding out there's one less than an hour away from me was great to discover. Now, whenever I have one of those rare off days and want to get out of Tampa for a bit, I know I can just hop on the freeway and stop by.

    The place was nice and cozy. They have ample seating indoors and outdoors. We went here on a Sunday afternoon before the dinner rush. So there were a lot of seats available. They have different food choices available. They have ramen, sushi, burgers, pizza, ice cream and more. My husband got the miso ramen and it was good. I had the quesabirria taco and it was delicious. We had ice cream for dessert and it was also good. Although it's quite a drive from where I live I would definitely come back.

    My husband and I have been to a lot of food halls, and this might just be the best! It has a great vibe and is decorated well. There's something for everyone there, but we went with tacos and a burger and tries. The food was delicious and decently priced, unlike most food halls. Our food was ready within 5-15 minutes. We would return!

    This has become our favorite halfway spot to meet up with Orlando friends when we drive from Tampa. Drink and food options are both excellent and it's just an awesome spot to hang out. We always get drinks from the bar. They have an awesome selection of craft beer as well as cocktails. The bartenders are friendly and allow you to sample. I haven't gotten to try all of the food vendors, but I love the Tonkatsu ramen from Sabu and the pizza from Folds. Great pricing and options all around. Highly recommend for your Lakeland stop.

    I have seen this lace while walking round Mirror Lake in several occasions but failed to give it a try. Today we had a group and needed an option that offered a variety. The Joinery was perfect. Lots of wrong inside and out. A variety of choices s one had a burrito from a taqueria and had Japanese street food and I had a poke bowl from another. You order at the counter of each and then they text you when it is ready. Really neat location with lots of seating.

    A cute little food hall! Came here after work just to check it out. They actually have a bunch of different vendors to choose from that include tacos, poke, ramen, and more! I only got a few things but it tasted great! It definitely got busy on a Friday evening but it never got too crazy and I didn't have to wait too long for my food. Everything was kept clean and seemed well maintained. There's also plenty of seating both indoor and outdoor. It's a super comfortable and welcoming space. It also has a beautiful view of the lake where you can go for a walk before/after your meal. A great place to meet up with friends or just grab a bite to eat!

    The ramen was absolutely amazing their was a drop left.   I would definitely recommend trying this place.

    This place is amazing so many options to choose from. Self serve the atmosphere was really cool. My Ramen was so good there wasn't a drop left. I would definitely recommend coming here. I will be back when I am in town again.

    A fun assortment of foodie kitchens gathered under one roof with a bar. Enjoy a variety of seating options and a good assortment of dishes. This is a smaller version of Atlanta's Krug Street Market. We sampled gourmet ramen and smash burgers--both excellent.

    Burger

    This was a 13 dollar burger. People are spending hard earned money on dinner. This is what 13 dollars gets you. Cool atmosphere though.

    The location, the food vendors, the plentiful seating, the micro-brewery and the service combine to provide a very pleasant experience for singles, those on a date, and families. My wife and I chose The Joinery since Lakeland is the approximate halfway point between Orlando and St Pete where our niece was traveling from to meet us, and because of all the great reviews from fellow Yelpers. Even though we arrived around the time considered a late lunch, the place hummed with the plentiful number of people. We ordered a veggie pizza from Ava (wood-fried Neapolitan-styled), grilled mojo chicken and fried cauliflower tacos from Gallito Taqueria, chicken karaage from Sābu, and the Shrimp Volcano Roll from Zukku. All the food was good and satisfying. Each kiosk used a method of contacting us when the food was ready - a text to our cell phone, a device that buzzes, and a "hey you" as you walk by (true story). We didn't try the other vendors, but given more time and money and a larger stomach, I probably would have. The Joinery selected its food and beverage options well, in my opinion. Misc: As mentioned before, plenty of seating options are available inside and out. Parking in their space was no problem. Events can be booked here. Lastly, a walk around Lake Mirror across the street can be a fun time to spend after the meal at The Joinery.

    "El jefe" their version of an espresso martini. Made with real espresso. Delicious!

    Such a cute little food hall right in downtown. All it's missing is a little coffee shop. There's pizza, ice cream, a bar, 2 Asian places, a sandwich place and bbq. It's small and quaint but decorated cutely with plenty of table seating. The staff working there were so friendly and the service was quick. Not pictured was delicious Burria quesadillas, omg were they tasty. The El jefe (espresso martini) was delicious and priced nicely. Definitely a fun little place with a nice relaxing atmosphere and plenty of bathrooms

    This was my second visit to The Joinery, and this time, I decided to try the burger station. The burger was packed with flavor--just a bit saltier than I prefer, but still really tasty! I love that there are plenty of seating options and a great variety of food and drinks to choose from. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the outdoor patio overlooking the lake--I'll definitely be sitting out there next time to enjoy the view with my meal. The staff was also super friendly and patient while we figured out our order, which made the experience even better. Looking forward to my next visit!

    Another fantastic visit! This is a must-do stop if you're driving even remotely near Lakeland. While I usually go for the delicious sushi spot, my nephew and I chose to get smash burgers, ramen, and ice cream this time. As always, friendly and speedy service, even during lunch on a weekday. Food is quality and brilliant flavors. Good portions for decent prices. Our only gripe this time around is the brown butter chocolate chip cookie ice cream we have, quite literally, been talking about all year had far more cookie than ice cream underneath the surface of the scoop... more like a soggy cookie experience that left us a wee bit disappointed. Otherwise, a perfect stop and we'll be back again to keep trying new spots in the hall.

    Can't go wrong. Great for groups - everyone gets what they want. Sushi bowl is the best meal in the place! Pizzas not bad. Kinda pricy

The service was excellent and the food was good. My bill was $89.88 and I left a tip of $18.00. Our server was Mackenzie. Today I looked at my receipt and discovered a $14.00 charge for a tropic thunder mocktail with vodka. We never ordered or received the vodka mocktail. This troubles me and I will inform my friends of the extra charge. Dick Sargeant h.mrealty@verizon.net

    For parking, use the public library across the street--plenty of spots. A crosswalk goes directly…read morefrom the parking lot to the restaurant. People are supposed to be driving 25mph, but it's central Florida. Just look both ways before crossing. In terms of service, it was amazing! Manager/Owner was very visible at all times and checked in multiple times. Server was hilarious and personable. He was very knowledgeable on the drinks and food. He didn't steer me wrong ever. The food is somehow the best part. The service was 20/10 and the food was even better. I went with coworkers and we tried different things and shared. VERY happy with everything, particularly what I ordered. Kentucky Fried Gator was amazing and that sauce it came with had me dipping the lettuce into it just to have more. Buratta and Tomatoes were heavenly. Exactly what you'd expect and the focaccia was sliced into more pieces for us to share. The Whipped Ricotta Toast was divine. The peaches with the seeds and just wow what a combo! Steak Frites are WELL worth the price. I had enough for the dinner and lunch the next day. The BEST surprise was dessert. I was very hesitant. But let me tell you, that the Japanese Whisky Bread Pudding is dangerous to be so close to me. That is beyond sinful. Not too sweet. Very well balanced. Great fresh, still good the next day. I even put my yogurt in the container leftovers to get every last drop of that miso caramel. It is a must try. Drinks wise, the best out of what we tried was the Passionfruit Aperol Spritz. As beautiful as it is delicious. Highly recommend it, but warning you might end up getting more than one. I feel that everything was appropriately priced, service was great, atmosphere was nice. I usually hate eating outdoors but my coworkers chose the outdoor table. That being said, I wasn't miserable so that speaks to the comfort of the atmosphere, though maybe not the chairs. I HIGHLY recommend The Peach House. It would be a great night out place or to unwind after work.

His hospitality, kindness, and attention to every detail made our experience truly unforgettable. We're so thankful for the amazing service, and honestly, we would come back again because of him. Thank you, Chris, for giving us some of the best hospitality in the world -- you truly made our day special.

    Let me start off by saying that I had no expectations when visiting this venue for the first time…read morethis evening. They were starting a karaoke night and I figured since I enjoy performing that this would give me an opportunity to check out the venue for possible future event visits. The event was scheduled from 8pm to 12pm or later. We arrived 10 min. early in case there was already a crowd. GM Chris came to the door and asked us what time it was(?), that should have sent a red flag as he was the point person for running this event. We spent 10 min speaking with the Pink Piano owner next door and had a great conversation. At 8pm we went in and there was 1 individual sitting at the bar and the bartender. I ordered a scotch and a neutral for my disabled spouse. At 8:46pm with just 4 people (included) waiting for the karaoke, I went to the bar to close out my tab. The total for my drink and spouse came out to $19 and I left a $5 tip for the bartender who spent the entire time talking to the young man sitting at the bar. These are very difficult financial times for many people and to charge this type of prices for drinks, especially in Lakeland, Fl is absurd. As a very well organized individual who has managed many venues in his past along with being a professional performer, this was a complete disappointment from an operational point of view. If you are going to advertise a venue with a start time, at least either start on time or apologize to patrons who made provisions to attend the venue for events. My time is just as important as those running this establishment. Making arrangements to bring out a disabled spouse and having to wait almost an hour is totally unacceptable. If this is the type of operational standards then I along with my spuse will patron those establishments who have a deep appreciation for return customers and their financial contribution to the running of the business. I will leave it with this, if people choose to allow business's to simply run it without any regard for the paying customer, then you deserve what you get.
