With how popular this spot is, I'm honestly surprised they don't have someone helping guide new customers through the ordering process. Even when ordering online, the atmosphere can feel pretty loud and hectic because of the crowds. That said, the food is amazing! I truly wish them the best because they definitely have something special. They just need to find a better way to manage the flow of customers and make the overall experience a little smoother.

We've been coming here for the better part of 10 years. Seriously, this place is fantastic. Today we came in just after the lunch rush. And what makes me write a review after all this time is because The Reuben has been added to their sandwich lineup. I am a sucker for a good Reuben. I love some of the various versions out there like a Grouper Reuben or a Turkey Reuben but there is nothing like an original. The bread is their marble rye which was already freakin fantastic; patty melts are phenomenal here. The ratio of corned beef and sauerkraut was spot on perfect. Don't you just hate it when it's out of balance? The cheese was perfectly melted and the dressing was oh so good. It was sandwich heaven. My apologies for having no pictures. I don't know if I was especially hungry today or what, but when the food hit the table the hubs and I dove straight in.

We finally got a table to share with other people. My Mom and my older brother Bill ordered the Corned Beef and Cabbage. They said the Corned Beef was pretty good, but the Cabbage was tough and not good. My brother Jonathan ordered the Pancake special with sausage and home fries. They didn't warn him that the pancakes would be green, lol. We thought it was pretty funny, but he said they didn't taste that good. He loved the rest of his breakfast. I had the French toast and bacon with hashbrowns and scrambled eggs. I loved the French toast and bacon, but didn't like the hashbrowns and eggs. It was really hit or miss. The restaurant didn't seem very clean either. We had fun anyway.

It was a Saturday and I forgot the market was going on so it was a bit busy but always worth the wait. Honestly, I didn't think there would be any left the way the Line was looking, but luckily when I got to the front, they still had carrot cake left. I ordered a slice and waited patiently for my name to be called. Once it was ready, I picked it up and it was already made for to go, but I decided to eat in house. This carrot cake is so unbelievably delicious. It's filled with pineapples, walnuts, and everything you could dream of. Will always be my favorite!

We travel to hike/walk and are always looking for cute places. We were seated right away and the decor was so cute inside. Their menu had so many choices and I was having a hard time picking! Their fall drink specials looked absolutely amazing! It took quite awhile for our waitress to come say hi and get us water. At the time it wasn't very busy, so we did almost get up and leave (for reference at how long it took). We both ordered the Carrot Cake Cozy Latte with Oatmilk, and our meals right away as well because it had taken so long for anyone to come over. We waited...and waited...and waited. The Latte was actually a tea so we knew it shouldn't have taken that long. People came and started sitting around us and they were receiving their coffees and drinks. We finally flagged down the waitress and she seemed annoyed and said oh yeah I need to get it at the bar. We were eating in, and I saw others receiving coffee in coffee cups. Our tea came in to go cups (think paper)...and no sugar or anything was dropped off. Being represented as a latte, typically that wouldn't need sugar, so no problem...until we tried it. Both were very watered down and little flavor. I had to go fetch us some sugar, and It took us 3 sugar packets to have any taste or resemblance of "carrot cake". Our food finally came out, and it looked amazing. My friend ordered the Fried Green Tomato BLT and I ordered the morning munchies, which had pork belly and caramelized onion, scrambled eggs and other things. The bread was gluten free and hard as a rock. The eggs tasted like they were premade (think hotel style). The pork and caramelized onions were delicious. My friend's fried green tomatoes seemed to be missing the tomato. There was so much breading and they were unbelievably dry. I love fried green tomatoes and these were, unfortunately, awful. I wish I could say I liked it, but between the service, tea and food, I likely would never go back.

If you're looking for a one-stop shop for both breakfast and coffee, look no further. We absolutely love this place and will keep coming back whenever we're in town.

They are made with shaved pieces of pork topped with lettuce, Muenster cheese, honey mustard, and pickles. The taste of all that together is excellent.

She was very attentive. She seemed to be working a lot of tables so the service was a little slow but it didn't bother us. She did forget our complementary drink for first time diners. She did have a lot going on so it didn't bother us either. Everyone was super friendly. Food: We really enjoyed our food. We got the 'Brussel Sprout' lunch starter and it was so good! It was packed with the flavor. The brussel sprouts were the perfect crispness. We both had their lunch special which was sooo good! This is definitely some top notch food for Lakeland. I can see why it is Michelin Recommended. The prices were reasonable too. This restaurant is on par with the top restaurants in Tampa! We loved our lunch and we will definitely be back. We want to check out their roof top bar. Always remember to shop and support local businesses. @therealistreg
