We live in Tampa, but every time we're in or around Lakeland, we stop by The Joinery. Their food selection is great, we love the BBQ, Ramen and Pizza spots, but the Sushi, Burger and Ice Cream spots are great as well! Gonna be honest, I didn't care for the Mexican restaurant but I'm sure they're there for a reason! The bar staff is great and always super friendly. read more

The joinery is a neat place and I hope more places like it pop up all over Central Florida. I first experienced something like it in Texas and I think it is a great buisness model. My wife and I had Poke bowls from Zukku and it was great! Fresh ingrediants, simple way to order, and the vibe is extremely chill. Fun place for the entire family, my only complaint is the parking. Other than that everything was good and we enjoyed the experience. read more

The pizza was sub par, the sushi was expensive and small. The American option was greasy. The ramen was ok but too expensive. It's just a place to do something and it's just a food hall. read more

The Joinery is such a cute food hall in downtown Lakeland located on Lake Mirror that has different eateries to choose from, a full bar, and a craft cocktail bar. It has plenty of inside and outside seating depending on what you are feeling!!! Some of the food options include pizza, ramen, tacos, burgers, bbq, and ice cream. Today I went with Sabu Ramen. I did the Tonkotsu Ramen and it was so flavorful and tasty!!! The pork was cooked to perfection and was so so tender. I love all of the different food options so everyone in our party could get what they were in the mood for. Can't wait to come back and try something else! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Love this place! Such a great addition to Downtown Lakeland area! Easy parking and access to downtown! Several different eateries inside. Clean bathrooms, can't wait to go back! read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great variety of food and almost everything is a solid pick. Had the BBQ and the brisket was amazing. Tried the ramen and it was good but the honey chicken bun tasted better than the chicken they give you with the ramen. The ice cream also didn't disappoint. I will definitely be back to try other restaurants. read more

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. read more

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. read more

What a fun place with several different choices to accompany all our different tastes!?! Ice cream for dessert!

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 read more

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

This was my first time to Lakeland and was told about The Joinery. A friend and I went and it is like a food court with different options such as pizza, Mexican food, Ramen, and Sushi. There is also a bar where you can order beverages. I like this concept because you can go with a group of friends, family, or on a date and each person can get what they life. For me I had the Birria quesadilla from the Mexican spot and it did not disappoint! I have had Birria tacos before but not quesadillas! The beef was flavorful and tender, and the gravy to dip the Birria in was delicious and flavorful as well! My friend got the Birria tacos and said it was the best she had, and I the street corn was just ok. My gimlet beverage was great! Overall a great experience! read more

I had a business meeting here and felt like it was a great spot for groups in particular as there are so many options and cuisines available, from Sabu (ramen and boba), pizza, barbecue, burgers/fries, poke bowls, tacos, and ice cream to finish. Plenty of options for vegan and gluten free friends. The staff members were all very friendly and helpful with answering any questions about the menu. I went on a chilly winter day, so I decided to get a bowl of ramen--the veggie miso ramen ($14) as well as the regular milk tea with boba ($6). The ramen noodles were excellent, and the bowl and appearance were pretty unique. Interestingly, there were brussel sprouts which I thought actually tasted quite good, crispy, and not bitter at all, as someone who usually dislikes them. However, the bowl came with kimchi that was still cold (!), like it had just come out of the fridge, and personally, the broth was much too salty to finish and unfortunately had to be thrown out. I also got the milk tea with boba ($6) which was refreshing, and I liked that you can customize the sweetness level. Of note, the milk teas are all iced (a surcharge for no ice) and nondairy (using oat milk), but they also have hot teas if you choose. read more

This came up when I was looking for places to meet half way with a long time friend - it's roughly between Tampa and Orlando. I went around opening and didn't have any issues finding a spot to park. Keep in mind that if you go during a peak meal time, it could be busy and not as easy to find a spot. This houses multiple food businesses under one roof with communal seating. It's a modern, clean space for everyone to enjoy different food without compromising. Definitely would come back here again. read more

This is a relatively small food hall. It's like a smaller version of Armature Works in Tampa. There is a good variety of food stalls (pizza, ramen, tacos, ice cream, sandwiches, etc.). There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is not a ton of parking available however. read more

I can definitely see the appeal and potential here. I will leave my food review for the actual business we ordered from on their listing. Cute food hall, with decent amount of seating that passes the vibe check. Clean atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

Good options and the Mexican restaurant has a great crunch wrap. Process are high for what you get.

My kids and I were starving after a trip to our favorite park nearby and we needed an early dinner. I have 5 young kids, so eating out is always somewhat precarious. We ended up at The Joinery, and it was definitely the right choice. Everyone was able to get whatever they wanted from such an array of choices. The burgers were amazing crowd pleaser. The pizza was delicious. And the crunch wrap and tacos were so yummy! Not only was everyone able to get whatever they were in the mood for, the atmosphere of the joinery was perfectly family friendly. It was loud (but not too loud) so we didn't feel like our big group was too much. There were high chairs easily accessible, and to top it all off, we were able to get my favorite ice cream after dinner, all in one location. We loved the Joinery and will be back! read more

Every experience here has been good. I do think there's room for improvement but overall, nice.

Always love hanging out with coworkers or going on dates here. It has something for everyone food wise and the bartenders are always amazing. The atmosphere is great, food is great (yes I've had something from each one lol), and it's all in one spot. Parking can get full at peak times. People bring families and big groups, so if a busy hectic place isn't your vibe, you can sit outside and enjoy the view of the lake. Bathrooms are always clean and stocked and have full doors for complete privacy. They have a fountain for soda so you can actually enjoy your soda, but there's a huge variety of other drinks: alcoholic, nonalcoholic, bubble tea, sparkling water, etc. read more

Great place to go when you all want something different We've only lived here a few months but we've gone to the joinery a few times read more

I went to the Joinery with family two days in a row when visiting Lakeland in April. We had a great time - good food and drink. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the free parking! read more

Food was good but ambience and orderliness lacked. Think side by side food trucks in a building you get the idea. Everyone lines up for whatever kind of food they like and sits at picnic tables. Not my cup of tea but you get the idea. Very loud put your order in and they text you when it is ready for pick up. We won't go again there are too many restaurants in the area to choose from. read more

We went to an outing and needed a place to satisfy six different appetites, and..boy howdy, did we find it. A bar surrounded by a variety of food offering to keep a small hoard happy. We tried the pizza, taqueria, and the bar. With lemonade from the burger joint. All were top notch. The street corn, nachos and puffy tacos were first rate. Just enough spice to awaken the younger and the corn! Boom! Never had a puffy taco, but for once the shell did not crumble. Savory meat, just the right amount of toppings and happiness! The pizza was a New York style, with the usual thin layer of sauce, chewy fresh crust, and just th right amount of cheese. Fold and chomp. The need offerings were well crafted, with no exotics and a great malty or hoppy foundation. The service was a bit slow and disorganized, but the wait was in a very pleasant and popping environment. Kids were everywhere. This place has layers and layers of ambiance. Over all, a great find for us and we highly recommend this if you have out of state guests in Orlando to entertain. A+ read more

Loved the outdoor seating and the view of the water for lunch this afternoon. My wife and I were in the area and were starving so she came across this place. We figured it gave us options to decide what we wanted when we got here. There's pretty much one of each cuisine, pizza, ramen, sushi, burgers, and southern fixins. There's also a full bar to wash it all down with. This Food Hall thing is a great concept, I just think they just need to lower prices, but that's just me. read more

Food choices, service and ambiance are on point. Always fun activities planned around Holidays and different occasions.

Food is good, though sometimes the pizza gets burnt but they will give you another if you ask. It's nice there are lots of options for everyone and dessert. Of course my girls favorite is the ice cream. :) There aren't tons of tables when there are a lot of people but the ambiance is good overall. read more

Always LOVE stopping by here for a drink or just to hang out! We have tried the Seltzers and they are pretty tasty along with a few of the food vendors (Ramen, Mexican. Pizza). All were great, but I'd say all We're a little pricey for what you get. It's small inside so when it's bush be prepared to sand! Love the outdoor area! read more
