    This is a busy place with a wide variety of food choices. A local establishment where people know each other, very friendly. The salad was big and delicious. The hamburger and French fries also good as well as the breakfast. The food was hot and served quickly. The waitress was very friendly. Something that I didn't like is the salad was served with another plate of food on top of the salad. The bottom of the plate isn't nice to have on your fresh food.

    Just tried the biscuits and gravy. And same as everything else -- absolutely delicious. The sausage was just sliced on top of the gravy but the flavors were terrific. And the gravy was smooth and not too heavy on the stomach. Of course the biscuits were as perfectly cooked as always.

    I got a suggestion from yelp to try Herby's kitchen so I did this morning. It was quite crowded at 10 am but were seated immediately. The menu has lots to choose from and I decided on the meat eaters omelette with crispy home fries and biscuit. The omelette was huge and stuffed with bacon ham and sausage. The home fries were very crispy like I asked for and were delicious however a little peppery. The biscuit was very flaky and tasted great. They seemed to have a problem bussing tables since several tables were still not bussed by the time we left. If you like big portions give this place a try.

    Nice spot!! Those who follow me know I love GRITS!!! Yes, they nailed it. The grits were so good there was no need of salt or butter add. I didn't like the waffle as it was not my type of batter but I think others would love it. The service was off the chain on a scale of excellent. My server was amazing. She checked in frequently to see how things were. She even asked if the grits were good!!! Loved it. Didn't have to ask for coffee refill, she asked. I love exceptional customer service. Did I mention the coffee was hot and fresh. For those who are COVID/pandemic/endemic cautious, there are no protocols. Overall a great spot and I highly recommend!!

    Came here on a lunch date and we both found it charming. I had heard good things about this relatively new place, mainly regarding the breakfast service, but both my husband and I wanted lunch, so we dined off that menu. We have definitely decided that we will be back for breakfast soon. (It only serves breakfast and lunch.) It's located off of E. Edgewood just a couple of doors down from Winn-Dixie and is very clean but frugal (smart) in design - shotgun style from the front to the back with tables on both sides, and a dividing wall on the far right with the register and then the kitchen. Almost diner-like in efficiency. Every person we encountered was incredibly pleasant and helpful. They seemed to have a lot of regulars there, greeting people by name, etc. But the waitress treated us just as kindly as she treated them, so it made us feel at home. You seat yourself, and there were plenty of seats to choose from, luckily, even though they were doing rather brisk service. Our orders were taken promptly. There were a couple of items that looked really good on the menu, but hubby chose the Meatball Hoagie and I the grilled chicken sandwich. His came with French fries, but I opted pay an up-charge and get the fried okra. Both orders arrived promptly and were piping hot. His Meatball Hoagie was a hit and he ate every bit. The fries were crispy and fluffy. My grilled chicken sandwich, while not as photogenic, was very tender and juicy, and I ate every bite. Those fried okra were perfect too. Crunchy outside and cooked to perfection inside. I ate it all. The price was right too. Granted, we could get slightly cheaper at a fast food place, but definitely NOT the quality or the excellent service. I highly recommend you check this out yourself if you are in the neighborhood.

    After picking up from FCA camp we went looking for something local and relatively quick and child friendly. We were very pleasantly surprised by this gem! We were greeted and seated quickly. The menu is a great size, not too big not too small. There is a variety of items and fit all our needs and wants. I got the meatloaf and two sides- Mac and cheese and mashed potatoes and gravy. The meatloaf was covered in sauce and that's my favorite part to go with my meatloaf. My sister got the adult grilled cheese- very cheesy, and the boys got spaghetti and meatballs and fries and chicken tenders and fries. Fries were perfectly cooked! For the 4 of us it was $25. Not only was the food so well priced but the price was just great! Try it out. I think you'll love it. We did do lunch, breakfast looked good as well! If we find ourselves in the area again, we would absolutely be back! Great family vibe!

    Let me start by saying I do not live in this area, but have been spending some time in the Lakeland area as of late and have been on the hunt for gems ... like Herby's Kitchen. My initial impression as we were walking toward Herby's Kitchen was that of a simple local diner. What a surprisingly awesome find it turned out to be. I had the Greek Style Hamburger, it's funny but I don't recall what other persons in our party ordered. Was not sure what to expect with my order, but I was thrilled with what I was served. Incredibly tasty, creative, and fresh (saying again fresh, not frozen, not out of a box, fresh). Imagine a melding of a Greek salad and a hamburger. Simply yummy. The service was friendly, neighborly in fact. We were welcomed as if we had been regulars since the day they opened their doors, which I have no idea when that was. The atmosphere was clean, comfortable, and uncrowded while sitting down. I do want to make a special mention about the art on the walls and photography in the restaurant ... they did this themselves, and it is fantastic. Compliments to the family photographer. The bottom line, we will be back and will drive across town to do so.

    Harry's is always amazing each time I go! It's a nice looking restaurant in downtown Lakeland,…read moreright in the middle of all the action Munn park has to offer and events on this strip. Service is always great with the waiter/waitresses always being playful and friendly, though I don't recommend sitting in the back room; it has a funny smell. For the food, you always get free delicious bread with their specialty butter that is good enough to eat by the spoonful. Harry's may be known for their seafood but they can do it all; Land (steak medallions are perfectly seasoned and cooked to your liking), Sea (incredible Shrimp and Grits with the sweet corn grits being a real knockout), and Air (Chicken Jolie Blonde is phenomenal! This dish is served on their famous grits cake smothered in a Parmesan sauce.) Trust me me and always order the Grits Cake as a side! Ended the meal with their Oreo Beignets, another "must get" dish!

    We came here because we've heard it's a Lakeland staple…read more Atmosphere: The restaurant is located in Downtown Lakeland. It was a nice, big indoor space and a lovely coveted outdoor patio. The place was very clean. Restroom: They have a male and female restrooms with multiple stalls. The female restroom has a changing pad in it for little ones. The restrooms were very clean. Service: Our server Greg was very friendly and welcoming. You can tell he is very passionate about what he does! He was very attentive and service was quick. Food: The food was ok. I ordered the 'Shrimp & Grits'. The dish had some good flavor but it didn't blow me away. I've had better shrimp and grits. I've been to New Orleans and this doesn't really compare to the food there. The complimentary bread was good. Overall, it was an okay place to come for lunch. The food didn't blow me away but the service and atmosphere was great. The prices were reasonable.

    HEALTH WARNING: Read before you visit…read more We stopped in for breakfast, drawn in by what the reviews describe as a "quaint Japanese-style eatery." What we found was something else entirely. FOOD & VALUE We had two glasses of tap water (which tasted sour), a sandwich with fries, and an American breakfast. The sandwich was just okay. The fries were actually good. Everything else failed: the scrambled eggs were flavorless and visibly undercooked, the bacon came as two thin, unevenly cooked strips, and the toast was served without butter. When we asked, the cook had to search for some -- only to return with butter that was frozen solid and jelly so dried out it resembled fruit leather. They were also out of hash browns, which seems remarkable given how few customers were there at the time. SERVICE When the bell rang signaling our food was ready, the bartender was on his phone and didn't move. I walked up to collect it myself (signs do say "Pick up here"), only to find half our order wasn't ready. The bartender then told the cook he couldn't help look for butter because he had to "go put down the steaks" -- at 10:30 in the morning. The cook himself was pleasant and genuinely tried to help. The front-of-house staff, not so much. SANITATION A live cockroach was on the floor next to our table when we sat down. We're from Florida, so a stray bug doesn't automatically send us out the door -- but in hindsight, it should have. More alarming: the return tray held plates of pot stickers that had clearly been sitting there overnight, since the restaurant only serves a breakfast menu in the morning. That is a food safety issue, not a quirk. HEALTH INSPECTION RECORD After leaving, we looked up the inspection history. A report from May 2026 -- just three weeks ago -- documented four violations at this location, three of which were classified as High Priority. You can verify this yourself at floridafoodsafety.org. THE REVIEWS The overwhelming majority of reviews rate this place 4.7-5 stars. Based on what we experienced firsthand -- and what the health inspection record confirms -- we do not understand how that is possible. Draw your own conclusions. We left after a few bites. Save your money and your stomach.

    What a cute and unique dining experience…read more Working nearby, my coworkers and I decided to try something new, and one of the girls had recommended this place. The airport itself is small so we knew it wouldn't be too chaotic. From the moment we walked in to leaving the restaurant, it was pleasant, quick, and the food was delicious. There is a kiosk where you order, you're given a number, and then you pick up your food when they call out your number. It's a great seamless operation! The people are also wonderful and kind!!! I will definitely come back. So for those of you looking for something new to try, head to SORA!
