I used to regularly work in Lakeland and I had three places that I would eat when I was in…read moreLakeland. Lovebird was one of my three places. So you can imagine how happy I was when they decided to open a love bird in Winter Haven just a few miles from my permanent office. I think this location is even better than the Lakeland location because it is a little bigger than the parking lot is much better. They still have that absolutely fabulous crispy fried chicken that is so delicious. I love that you can cater it to your personal spice level. I like mine medium, but my mom prefers hers with no spice. Their fried chicken stays crispy even when it gets cold. Sometimes I'll go and grab myself some lunch while I'm at work and then get some fried chicken to take home to my husband for dinner and it's still crispy and juicy and fabulous. I also love that they have a meal that was invented for me. My favorite thing to order is called, The my girl ain't hungry. It consists of one giant chicken, tender in your choice of fried or grilled with a side and a drink for eight dollars. It is the perfect portion for me. Now, when people come to visit me in Winter Haven, lovebird is always one of the places I recommend we grab lunch.

I plan to take 1 piece & side to work tomorrow. I got the skin on fries to eat now & the jalapeño bacon cream corn to work. You have to choose a heat level. The levels are from no heat to what they call -why? I chose the why. It was delicious and habanero hot. The chicken was amazing! The crispy coating was seasoned with the habanero. Soooo yummy. They include a dipping sauce. Pick your pleasure. I'll definitely be back to try the many ways they prepare chicken. Fortunately there is a location in Lakeland too.

I recently had the pleasure of takeout at Big Daddy's Bar-B-Que, and let me tell you, it was an…read moreexperience that left me longing for more. As soon as I sank my teeth into their barbecue pork ribs, I knew I was in for a treat. The meat was so tender, succulent, and bursting with smoky flavor that it practically melted in my mouth. Fall of the bone greatness. Every bite was a journey through savory delight, leaving me craving another serving before I'd even finished. But the culinary magic didn't stop there. The collard greens were an exquisite culinary masterpiece. Cooked to perfection, they had just the right balance of texture and taste. The tangy and slightly bitter notes of the greens were harmoniously complemented by delicate seasonings, creating a symphony of flavors that left me wanting more. And let's not forget about the potato salad - a true testament to the art of barbecue cuisine. Creamy, slightly tangy, and perfectly seasoned, it was the ideal side dish to accompany the ribs. It added a refreshing element to each bite, completing the sensational flavor journey with its delightful texture and taste. But the climax of this gustatory voyage came with their peach cobbler. Oh, the heavenly combination of warm, gooey peaches, perfectly spiced with hints of cinnamon and topped off with a golden, buttery crust. Each spoonful transported me to a place of pure bliss, where the flavors of summer danced on my taste buds. A bite of this divine dessert was like a love letter to my senses, filling me with sheer joy and a longing to return for more. It's safe to say that my experience at Big Daddy's Bar-B-Que was nothing short of extraordinary. The exceptional tenderness of their barbecue pork ribs, the flavorful collard greens, the delectable potato salad, and the mouthwatering peach cobbler - every bite left an indelible mark on my taste buds, and my heart. I simply can't wait to return for another unforgettable culinary expedition to tryout there other dishes at Big Daddy's Bar-B-Que. They also have breakfast too. Fish fry with grits, YUM!!!

I knew i have always enjoyed their boneless wings but I want to give the traditional a shot as well. Safe to say I still prefer the boneless from here. I would say you can tell the location has been there for a bit as it wasnt the most pleasing to the eye, but it was made up for with very good and very service who made sure to help with anything we needed in a timely manner. If you want some solid wings and maybe catch a drink or game, id say hurricane is a good place to stop by.

The true experience can be had by sitting on the covered back porch and overlooking the water. The food was very tasty and the service fantastic.

We will return.

First visit today and probably our last based upon this experience. This is sad as we were looking…read moreforward to this experience. This is a casual restaurant with both indoor and outdoor seating and it is seat yourself. We picked an open table outside and sat there for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us. They then sent the server assigned to our table (Samantha). It was a quick smile-free greeting and she took our drink orders, then when serving our drinks she took our food order. After serving our food, she never stopped by our table again, although she stopped by her other tables around us several times. We had to stop her to ask for a box and our check.....she never offered drink refills even. We ordered a single cheeseburger with bacon and a side of onion rings ($14.74), a Fish Filet with no side ($14.50) and an order of Tater Kegs ($11.50). The cheeseburger with bacon looked great but didn't live up to the appearance. It was kind of tasteless....even the bacon was disappointing. The onion rings were crisp and pretty perfect. Fish Filet was large and tasty although we really would have liked more tartar sauce. The Tater kegs were also large and tasty. It was nice sitting outside with view of the lake and boat activity. This restaurant has potential to be much better....slow, minimum and cold service really takes a restaurant experience down. I hate that I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Tried juicy wings and seafood for the first time today and was underwhelmed. I got a boil combo…read morethat included half a pound of shrimp and half a pound of crab along with one corn and two potatoes I selected the special seasoning blend along with a spice level of hot. I also decided to order a small chicken lo mein. When I placed my order, I was told 10 minutes, so I walked around the plaza until I was ready. The cashier was friendly, so I appreciated that. They do offer a wide range of food including wings, fried rice and other Chinese food. Let's start with the lo mein. It was greasier than what I'm used to, but edible,I was just looking for more flavor. I think it could've had more chicken strips and I'm very scant in the container and for what you pay for a small you would think there would be more chicken. For the boil, I feel like it wasn't executed as well as it could have been. It was really lacking for me when it came to the flavor. Even though I ordered it spicy, there was barely any space. There was a lot of butter and you would find some clumps of seasoning and garlic, but it still missed the mark. I also added on a side of potatoes but it wasn't necessary. The boil comes with one potato and one piece of corn compared to others seafood boil restaurants I've been to the price wasn't bad it was $23.99 for my seafood boil order. I probably wouldn't return because I feel as though I could get better elsewhere.

I arrived here around 8:05pm with my 2 sons after a long, hot day at Legoland! It wasn't that busy…read morewhen I arrived. They have a decent sized dining area. There is a sign that the lobby closes at 9pm. I went to the counter to review the menu. I noticed some of the "specials" aren't really specials. Example, large gourmet pizza and 12 wings special is $36.24 but separately, a large gourmet pizza is $18.97 and 12 wings is $13.19 which equals $32.16. Even an XL gourmet pizza ($21.56) plus wings is $34.75, which is cheaper than the "special". I went through a few of the "specials" and the same applies. The "gourmet" pizzas are even cheaper when you simple add on the toppings. I placed my order around 8:15pm. I got a large pizza (pepperoni and sauce), garlic knots, 12 wings (garlic parm) and 3 drinks ($1.60) a piece. They don't have fountain drinks. The total was $40.67. I told them I wanted it for here and was told they would bring it out to us. There is one tv in the dining area that played Nickelodeon. They have a paper towel dispenser on the wall near the kitchen entrance. That area looks like a bar area. That is also where the condiments are located. The Garlic knots came at 8:32pm, the Pizza came at 8:34pm, and the wings came at 8:37pm. All of the food was hot, in temperature. The pizza was great, no complaints! The wings were lackluster in taste. The Parmesan cheese overpowered the garlic versus them being complimentary. Additionally, it seemed like the Parmesan was just added on top versus the wings being tossed in them both. It didn't fit up to my liking for garlic parm wings. The garlic knots were huge and tasty. However, it seemed that the butter and garnish was only on one side versus all sides. Overall, it was a decent experience. The two staff present were friendly. I recommend ordering food from the menu versus using the "specials" if you really want a deal.

From day one, the experience has been nothing short of amazing. The food is consistently delicious, and the lattes are easily some of the best we've ever had crafted with care and always hitting the mark. But what really sets this place apart is the people behind it. The owners are genuinely incredible, warm, welcoming, and intentional about making sure every customer feels taken care of. You can feel the love and pride they put into their business, and it shows in every detail. It's places like this that remind us why supporting small, Black-owned businesses matters so much. Every visit leaves us appreciating it even more. If you're in the area and haven't stopped by yet, you're missing out.
