Spot on as always been here several times this is a great little sandwich shop you must come by and check it out Todd read more

Popped in to grab something on my lunch break after seeing this place highly rated. It's in a small shopping plaza and has ample parking. The space itself is small and unremarkable but the service was quick and friendly. I was pointed to the daily special on the whiteboard but decided to try a classic BLT. The food was ready shortly and I took it back to my office to eat. The BLT was neatly made and very tasty. It comes with one side, and I chose potato salad--I could have eaten a gallon of it, very flavorful and the perfect accompaniment! All in all, a decent price at $11 and I'll be back to try their French dip. read more

What a find! We are from Kansas City, passing through to Naples and found the Bistro on Yelp. I had the Reuben sandwich, the corned beef was the leanest I have ever had. The portion size was generous. My husband had the tuna sandwich and enjoyed it. Chef Neil is personable and enjoyable to talk with. He's proud of his food's quality, and he should be! We would definitely come back. read more

Damn great food! Had the Vinnie and it was outstanding. Samples the Cuban as well and you can't go wrong with either of them!

Excellent food and nice owner! Talked with him a bit while in town to visit the animal hospital. Bacon egg and cheese sandwiches were perfect! Definitely will come back when out this way again read more

Just plain good! Chef Neil introduced himself and we had an immediate connection!!! The former Spring Training Baseball games.

Tried Neal's based on Yelp reviews. It did not disappoint! Cuban sandwich was great, and service was friendly.

So I gave this place a try after being recommended by a friend. I had the "Vinnie". Was not sure how I would like a pressed Italian sandwich. I got to say it was great. Actually the best sandwich I have had in a long time. I will be back!!! read more

Best little lunch place in Winter Haven! Delicious sandwiches and fresh salads and made from scratch soups. Daily specials are posted on their Facebook page. read more

I have to say Chef Neil's is my FAVORITE restaurant in Winter Haven. Amazing sandwiches, homemade dressings and soups (Spanish Bean is truly an out of body experience) I wanted a grilled chicken wrap with spinach and the homemade DELICIOUS ranch dressing and Chef made it for me-it is now my 'usual' and they know me by name. I go with my husband, order with the girls in the office, several times a week. Trust me; this is THE place. There is construction on Dundee now but they are open and whipping up some amazing things-Chef is there...everyday...and he is grateful his customers brave the construction but you will be grateful you went. You too will become a groupie! read more

I have known Chef Neil for 25 years and his preparation of food has never been a disappointment. Not only is he a great Chef but he is always friendly with all of his customers.

Thanks Neil ! Stewart Electric Service, Inc Chris and Becky read more

Super yummy sandwich for lunch! Great price. I was in the mood for a turkey Reuben and although it wasn't on the menu they were happy to accommodate. It was delicious. I will definitely be returning for lunch again soon! read more

I feel like I went to the wrong place! After reading all these great reviews, my husband and I stopped by one day for lunch. The ambiance is non existent. A few tables and chairs in a very small storefront with a counter where the chef stayed watching you eat. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and they were really subpar. The bread was thin sliced store brand bread from a grocery store and the sandwiches were very bland. We were very disappointed and will not be going back. read more

Friendly service. Good comfort food. Maybe the best Cuban on the street, but not the best in the area. I'd go back for something different. Tater salad is delish. read more

Great pressed sandwiches, good soups. Nice place to drop in and get a great sandwich with Friends.

Excellent food & service. Best Cuban in the Tri-County area! I had a meatball sub and it was amazing read more

First time, and well worth the money. Very friendly staff and prices are very reasonable. Food was very good and not a very long wait. Wish we had known of this place a few years back. Will be back. read more

Wow! What a little gem. Great lunch and the nicest people who work here. Small, comfortable and homey feel.

I LOVE this small, mom and pop type, friendly, clean restaurant! I have been eating there for 7 years, get lunch there at least twice a week and have withdrawals when they have the nerve to close for vacation a couple of times a year! Haha. My favorite is THE CHEESY CAULIFLOWER SOUP! My favorite sandwiches are The Gobbler, The Mighty One, The Frannie, and The Cubano. I occasionally eat other menu items, and special of the days and all are just fantastic! A+++ read more

I love the small mom and pop feel of this restaurant. I asked the owner the generic question of what's good? He replied with everything. I gave it a whirl and ordered the chef's special of baked spaghetti and Italian sausage with garlic toast. It was delicious, garlicky sauce, it was simple but great taste. I will definitely be coming back for more, they have a great selection of sandwiches as well. read more

BEST SALAD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great chef, great prices, always fresh

When it comes to food this guy knows what's up. He has the best Cuban in town no doubt about it. All of his food on the menu is delicious. Great prices and great food, you won't be let down. read more

The best place for lunch in Winter Haven! Favorites are Meatloaf Sandwich Thursday, Shrimp Salad Friday, and Cuban all the time!

Best sandwich shop in town and we're back for the second day in a row! The Helmick and the Cubano are by far my favorite and a must try. Arguably the best Cuban in the state! And meeting The Chef himself is part of the experience. Nobody makes Black Beans and Rice like The Chef. The perfect side for the perfect sandwich! Don't miss out on a great meal! read more

We stopped by on our way to an appointment so we didn't have a lot of extra time. It was clear to the owner it was our first time so he kindly came to the table and offered some suggestions. The bistro was small but very very clean and the menu had enough variety to accommodate most anyone. We had Cubans and the black beans with rice. It was all very very good. Everything was fresh and tender. It may sound like an ethnic restaurant with out choices but actually that was the only thing on the menu remotely ethnic. It was actually hard to decide because of the variety of sandwiches and salads. We will return! read more
