This is a great location in an old federal building. Nice decor for this Smiths American Tavern…read more The bartender met us at the door, due to it being the middle of the day, and business being a bit slower, and we opted to sit at the bar. He was very social and answered all our questions and socialized about personal life as well. We ordered the Cuban eggrolls, and they were quite good but had smaller cubes of ham as opposed to pictures showing slices in some older pictures posted to this establishment. The drinks were spot-on. Although I may sound disappointed, I'm looking forward to trying more on the menu that they have to offer. I plan to return to try more. Recommended!

Smith's American Tavern is in historic downtown Lakeland and located in a converted post office…read more It is spacious inside, has a nice size bar area and plenty of TVs to watch sporting events. The atmosphere is dive bar friendly and there are so many cool niche areas for photos. Really loved the raised unfinished ceiling and the naked white brick wall which covered the side wall of the tavern. When you enter there is a hostess to great you. And our server almost appeared immediately. She explained the menu to us and the specials. What a great first impression. Unfortunately, there was a key piece of info we missed. There is a full bar, draft beer options and a decent wine selection. I ordered a draft beer and a flight of Mimosas. The beer was good, the mimosa flight not so much. Oh, and they have brunch specials on Saturday and Sunday, including unlimited mimosas at a 2 hour limit. For food, ordered the classic breakfast plate and a breakfast burger. Food was pretty good, but the burger was from a frozen patty, so not the best. Unfortunately they have some policy where they charge an extra $1 for the eggs. It is posted in the front, but nowhere on the menu. Suffice to say that experience left a bad taste in my mouth. Pun intended. They did remove the $1 but it took more effort that I would have liked and unfortunately the review and the server's tip suffered as a result.

First visit here and Wow! We ordered two hot dog baskets with fries ($9.99 each) and a Taco's…read more($10.99) + fries and drink $4.99. We also ordered cheese curds ($8.99). The hot dogs are a quality thick beef hot dog and they are tasty. They have many toppings except chili. The fries are thick Krinkle cut and prepared just right today, crisp on the outside and soft inside. The Tacos were ground beef and topped with lettuce and tomato. We added sour cream and salsa fir an additional charge. The cheese curds have to be the best we've had anywhere. They aren't salty at all like some places and they have a nice Italian seasoning in them. The menu is pretty extensive so there are a lot of choices. The dining room is long and narrow with mostly tables of two, just a couple of tables fir 4 then they have counter or bar seating. Staff is friendly and helpful. We will most definitely be back and we can recommend this fir lunch or dinner.

Salads are fresh and big- and they give plenty of dressing (but that still doesn't keep me from asking for more ;) If you are in this area, don't overlook MJ's for a good pizza- support a local business with better quality ingredients and did I mention it's cheaper than papa John's?

Odyssey is out of this world! (I couldn't resist)…read more Some say pizza is about the sauce. Some say it's the cheese, but man, at Odyssey it's the Crust! Wow! Good job guys! Anything on the crust makes it good. If you're looking for taking your girlfriend out for some Ambiance then you're in the wrong place... but if you grab an Odyssey, and take it home for a good "Love Movie" now we're talking!!

Do not be fooled by the pictures! There are nowhere near that many toppings on there. Don't get me…read morewrong. The crust is great and the pizza had great Potential. If only I had some toppings. We ordered mushroom pepperoni ham pizza. brought it home and had to add more toppings ourselves.. again the crust was great so it could be a great pizza. If only it looks like the pictures. For $21 it definitely should have more toppings and look like the pictures. Zoom in on it

I wanted to try something in Lakeland before heading back to Tampa, so I decided to stop by this…read morespot. It's definitely a small, family run business, and they make everything to order, which is always a plus. I went with the fish combo, which came with two pieces of fish and two sides. I chose the fries and mac and cheese, and also added a side of hush puppies. Overall, the food was good. The fish was fresh and flavorful, the fries were seasoned well, and the hush puppies were a nice addition. The only thing I wasn't the biggest fan of was the mac and cheese. It reminded me a bit of KFC's mac and cheese, which just isn't my preference. All in all, it's a solid spot. If I'm ever back in the Lakeland area, I'd definitely stop by again to give the chicken a try.

I heard mixed reviews of this place, but decided to give it a try, and boy was I glad I did!…read moreThis is a take out place. Ambiance isn't much, basic. Service is quick and my to-go order was filled accurately. I love that Wingstop has options like all flats or drums, and extra cooking time (for that perfect crisp!) I LOVE the hot honey and lemon pepper dry rub- because I've found that if you do a dry rub, and get your choice of sauce on the side, by the time you get home, your wings and still nice and crispy- not soggy! Besides, who doesn't like to dip anyway?! Their seasoned fries are amazing! Portions are generous and I have nothing but good things to say about my local Wingstop. I can't wait to go back!

I don't know where the good reviews are coming from. Went on Easter Sunday since we were in the…read morearea looking at properties all day, and let me tell you... - No one at the door to seat you/greet you. - The cigarette smell is strong!! We sat outside and it was really strong. ( even when there's a sign at the door that says " no smoking, no vaping") -They took forever to come to our table and when they did...we asked for a menu and were told they didn't have one. We asked for entrees They also didn't have any sna or sides, just beer and liquor, the bartender said " you can go to Hibachi Express or Subway and get the snacks from there" Needless to say, we never going back there.

The restaurant is in an older building so it has a really rustic authentic feeling that sets it apart from other places. Our server Chandler was quick and personable. He was really great with interacting with the table and made the experience even better. Now for the food.... this is definitely in my top 3 BBQ places. The portions were huge and I felt like the prices were reasonable. I tried all of their sauces and they were all delectable and diverse so everyone can find something that they like. You definitely want to come here with an appetite because everything is just so good and comforting. You will leave satisfied.

Our order: Salmon, Smoked Chicken, 2 meat: smoked turkey and brisket; Sides -- side salad, sweet…read morepotato, green beans, smoked corn, coleslaw, and an extra side of fries The Review: The best thing was the smoked chicken and dipping it into the many different sauces. Ya caught me, this is a guilty pleasure of mine. Other family members agreed that the chicken was the most tasty of the meats. Another positive, there are a lot of gluten-free options if you eat meat! They even have a special menu that tells you the items that do have gluten. The fries are GF but in a shared fryer, but if that doesn't bother you I highly recommend them. The fries when they were fresh were amazing, but they tried to give us old fries first, which we ended up sending back because they were cold and mushy. Luckily, the next batch pulled through! As for the sides, the smoked corn was good but pretty salty, the sweet potato was so delish, the coleslaw was fresh and sweet and creamy, and the green beans were just green beans. They made a mistake on our order, fixed it, and then charged us extra for it. When we asked them about it, they said it was because they gave us extra food on accident, and therefore we would have to pay for the extra food. To me, this seems like something that should not have been charge because we did not ask for the extra food, but we still paid because we did not want to make a big deal of it. The customer service is not great, and you may need to advocate for yourself at this restaurant.
