French Toast
Jay G.

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.

Meat eaters omelette with home fries and biscuit.

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.

We dined Friday, May 27, 2021. It being lunchtime My wife and I ordered the Greek hamburger which were terrific; we really love the olives and pepperoncini on the burger with the feta and the special mayonnaise. One of the best burgers I've ever had. My granddaughter decided to have a late breakfast; the breakfast menu is available until they close at 2:30. She really liked her scrambled eggs with cheese hash browns and the biscuit she said was the best one she's had. Service was quick and accurate, and staff were very friendly. The restaurant is very clean. Servers are no longer taking pandemic precautions beyond normal sanitation. Herby's continues to impress. It is now a go to lunch and breakfast spot for its good quality food and friendly service.

slapped together (no half cut?) not cooked to specs :(

Our servers our usually helpful and kind. On the topic of the surroundings, it's honestly very cozy in here. Most of the time, it's a moderate noise level, but it depends on the majority of the people there, of course. Overall, fantastic!! I would definitely suggest this place if you're close to Lakeland.

We found the reservation and ahead of time and told them how many so that they would be prepared for us. We got there they didn't have enough seating so some of our party had to sit in a booth that wasn't at the main table and they weren't included. The service was very slow. Understandably we were a large party but they still didn't have enough servers to cover the party because we had to wait a very long time to have our orders taken and waited even longer to get our food. Once we FINALLY got our food there were multiple people that did not like their food because it came out cold, or it was prepared wrong. The fries were unbelievably cold and tasted like rubber. The burgers were ice cold, and the burgers werent better than a fast food burger. Food was awful and the servers tried but it took so long to order and get our food. They were closed before we were able to finish and we got there 1.5 hours BEFORE they closed. So we shouldnt have had to race to eat because they were closed. I told them to take my food off because I wasn't eating cold nasty food and the kitchen was closed because of how long it took. So they took the charge off, which the charged me the wrong price to begin with, but because we were a party over 6 they charged me a service fee to sit there and not eat. I literally had to pay a fee even though I wasn't able to eat anything and didn't get any food. I also can't believe that they serve $18 cheeseburgers on a cutting board! You can see where people have cut into the boards and germs can live for a very LONG time on surfaces. Not to mention you can't really clean or sterilize a wooden cutting board. Especially since it's passed around with who knows how many people have eaten off of them. Why would you serve an $18+ burger on an old beaten up wooden cutting board!!! This was the second time we've gone and both times the food was awful. I wouldn't recommend this place, EVER!

Smiths American Tavern - Mahi taco

Stopped in for a preconcert meal with friends…read more First time visit. The building is quaint and unique, quite lovely for a group outing. We beat the rush hour so service was excellent. Every one was very happy with both the service and the food. Drinks were excellent! Appetizers came out quickly and were very good and perfectly sized for sharing, Main course followed shortly. Again, all was great. On a side note, not a fan of Lakeland's electronic mobile parking system. Pretty pricey. I guess this is a sign of the times of cities going after revenue every way possible. Just a downer for the merchants and their patrons.

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.
