We chose this restaurant after checking out reviews and getting a recommendation from our hotel's clerk. We are glad we did. We arrived a bit after 5 pm, too late to take advantage of early bird food specials but in time for happy hour (which ends at 6). This gave us 2-for-1 pricing on draft beer and house wine. We were seated immediately. By the time we left (around 6:30) there was a wait. We ordered drinks, and these and rolls were delivered with cinnamon butter and pats of plain butter. I ordered the Tuesday special, grouper "fingers," salad (soup is also a choice), and a sweet potato. My husband had linguine with chicken. Our server, Carmen, offered cinnamon butter for my sweet potato. Salad is tossed and plated at the table. It arrived well ahead of the entrées. We had the house-made ranch dressing. Overall, it was a pretty bland salad, mostly iceberg lettuce. The grouper was wonderful, lightly breaded and the perfect crispness. The portion of 3 filets was more than adequate. A small tub of Ken's tartar sauce was included. The cinnamon butter and sweet potato made an excellent combination and a great foil for the grouper. Everything was piping hot when it arrived. I wouldn't hesitate to order this combination again. My husband enjoyed his linguine. Given it was about an hour between when we were seated and when the entrées arrived, we thought the pace was rather slow. But the quality and quantity of food made up for it in my opinion. read more

I would've never thought that Lake Wales has this gem. Although it's spacious and holds a lot of people, it still feels welcoming with attentive staff, art, decor and something to look at in every wall/table. The food was fresh and delicious, from the soft-warm-fluffy rolls to the creamy mouth watering cheesecake. The crab cake in the broiled platter was my favorite. My only complain will be that the cocktail and tartar sauce was not freshly made as it was from a packet and that the salad was previously frozen as some of the lettuce didn't thaw all the way. Nonetheless I will definitely return to enjoy another dish. read more

We were just passing through and decided to stop in. We arrived around 4:30 and were seated right away. We sat in the middle room, which had a fun and inviting atmosphere. Our server was friendly and attentive, and they brought out salad and breadsticks with our dinner. The grouper dinner special was delicious, and my sister absolutely loved her lamb chops. Overall, it was a great experience and a pleasant surprise during our travels. read more

Service was fast. Food was pretty decent. Did the early bird dinner special and came with bread (yeast rolls), salad which is a mixed salad, and then your meal with a side. I opted to get a loaded baked potato soup instead of salad which was delicious. I loved haddock which is a mild fish and got it fried here it was pretty good. read more

Service from Jacob was excellent! Ambiance is like a relaxed/informal diner atmosphere with tables and booths. Sat in the backmost booth and had just the right amount of attentive yet unrushed service. I had the Athenian Salad with grilled chicken. It was delicious. The dressing is an olive oil with crushed olives in it. It was pleasantly mild. Others in my party had the Athenian Salad with blackened chicken (also delicious but it was spicier than expected) and the shrimp special with mixed veggies. The shrimp was good but a bit salty. The mixed veggies were not really a hit. Overall, the meal was made great by the quick friendly service. Recommend you give this place a try. read more

Kenzie was the bast. Great service, great smile and everything was very good. Made good drinks and checked on us frequently. Thank you, Kenzie read more

This restaurant was recommended and thought we'd try it. The customer service was on point. Super nice waitress and all the staff were very friendly. Very clean and I believe the different rooms in the restaurant were themed. We ordered hamburgers, salads, fish bites & shrimp. Overall the food was decent. Fish bites were fried to perfection and lightly battered. Big portion but overall flavor was good but nothing exciting. I could be wrong but the burger seemed to be a premade patty and again good but nothing to make me think wow. All the food was about the same.. good but nothing above average. This is my opinion but would recommend if you're in the area give it a shot. Nothing was bad and the service was excellent. read more

We got there a little after 3 pm, a group of 6 grownup and 2 kids, we were seated right away. the food was pretty good. our bill was high and we gave a 30% tip. some members were using the bathroom before we left and we were still putting our food in bags when the manager rushed us out saying we had to leave now as they were getting full. that to me was just awful. it wasn't like we were just sitting there, we were in the process of leaving! horrible! we will never be back! read more

A very nice Family friendly restaurant. We have dined there four times. Will definitely go back.

Just had lunch tomato soup and French onion with crab cakes be Very good waitress Rhonda personal and helpful weren't very hungry nice menu for a dinner read more

We are here today at 2:30pm. There were only two other tables occupied. We were seated fairly quickly and then we waited. And waited. And waited. Finally Laurel came over and we gave her our drink orders. She was friendly but not in a hurry. Waters, a spicy Bloody Mary and a margarita. Also two orders of fish and chips. When she brought our drinks, my Bloody Mary had a ton of horseradish in it. I like horseradish, it was just a bit too much. I ate one of the olives and spit it out immediately. It tasted like pine sol cleaner. I had no clue what was happening. The drink itself wasn't horrible but what happened to the olives?! My companion said the margarita was good. Two rather dull dinner rolls were served. No side plates. A dirty knife. When the fish and chips came everything was fine. The fish was very hot and tasty. The fries were lukewarm and ok. I liked the decor but something just felt off. Overall, I might give this place a second chance if I was forced. But it wouldn't be my pick! read more

Delicious food, fast and friendly service and a cute, quaint, clean ambiance! This little Lake Wales GEM is THE PLACE to go to after a day at Bok Tower and Gardens! Kayla was our server and she made sure we never wanted for a thing- and never ran out of our drinks- she's GREAT!! If you get the house salad, it has hard boiled eggs and cheese and cucumbers and tomatoes, tossed table-side with a mayo dressing- delicious! We got the fried seafood platter- AMAZING crab cake AND shrimp AND scallops- the whole plate was super- hot and fried golden brown- but not greasy at all! We also got the honey mustard chicken sandwich with fries. The honey mustard is Ken's brand- but I'm not even mad about it, lol- the chicken is juicy and the fries are TO DIE FOR!! We finished with the pecan cheesecake- homemade, in-house- wow. And I don't even like cheesecake!! This is our go-to place when out this way. They get busy at the early dinner time, so there may be a wait, butttt, IT'S WORTH IT!!! GO HERE!!! read more

Went for lunch (10/15/25) and she ordered the potato soup (excellent) and I went for the fish & Chips...big disappointment, cod was rubbery, and the breading was too loose. The service was good and the place very nice and well located. I would recommend but stay away from the fish & Chips. read more

First of all our server Ashley was amazing. It seemed like we were the only table she waited on. Extremely attentive and knowledgeable about the entire menu. She really went over and above to ensure we had an excellent experience. Our party of four all had seafood that night and all were extremely pleased with our fish. I had Blacked Grouper which was perfectly seasoned and flaky with a huge loaded baked potato. My wife and I shared an ample slice of NY Cheesecake with a delicious raspberry sauce. We also had a visit from the owner at our table to see how our meal was and if we needed anything else. All in all it was a great night out. read more

Very disappointing. My steak was supposed to be pink inside. It was like shoe leather. Plus, the restaurant is in dire need of a good scrubbing and paint. The chairs were very uncomfortable. Grade is a D-- read more

Where do I start? The food was less than edible. We ordered the special bikini shrimp. It came out cold. We sent it back. They nuked it so now it was warm, but the shrimp was overcooked. My baked potato was cold. Service was less than adequate. The young lady had to be asked several times for basics catch-up to go containers. Most of the food was not eaten just not worth the calories for an edible food. read more

Ordered the stuffed shrimp and was a bit disappointed. The shrimp was not butterflied and there was a shell on one of my shrimp. The crab stuffing was the highlight. The service was the best part! read more

Food is great. Service is fast and good. Need to call ahead though. They don't take reservations.

I highly recommend the Sizzling Grill! Both the food and the service is top notch. For dinner, you can't go wrong with the pork chop ribeye! It is juicy, tender and grilled to perfection. Also, ask for Rhonda to be your server. Her experience and personality will make for a great dining experience. Bon appetit! read more

I was harassed and discriminated against on May 8,2025 first by host and again by the manager. I have eaten at this restaurant many times before with my service dog and nothing said. Service Dogs are protected under The Americans With DisabilitiesAct signed into law July 1990. So if you eat here and need a service dog for your disability save yourself the humiliation and go elsewhere. read more

Employees are the best, warm, friendly, and really enjoy their job. Food is hot and always made fresh and served fast once it is ready. The ambiance is wonderful, warm and totally makes you feel comfortable. Go there a lot as I totally enjoy everything read more

Food is fine if you don't care about what you're getting. They gave us the wrong type of steak and couldn't cook it right. If you just like some slop served to you, then this is your place. The waitress was very uninterested and unskilled in what the food was supposed to look like or the type of cut of meat that should have been served. If you like globs of ranch on your salad, you are in luck too as this place will give you the ranch even when you don't ask. I would not recommend this place and will not dine there again. read more

Don't do it. I have been to this restaurant a few times on Monday's as Crazy Fish is closed on this day. I generally sit at the bar for dinner. The food is average, however they do have some fresh fish which is nice. I went today, 5/8/23 and sat at the bar for 10-12 minutes including asking the hostess twice if the bar was open for dinner. The answer was obviously yes. After a reasonable time, now 15 minutes, I left, told the staff I enjoyed it, and went to Chili's. Editors note: I hate chain restaurants, however the meal at Chili's was exceptionally nice. See ya Sizzlin! read more

The food was wonderful. This was our second time here and we will definitely be back. Carmen was our waitress and she was awesome.

Came for lunch. Ordered Grouper finger fish sandwich Bun, lettuce and tomato were very fresh. I do not think the fish was grouper. It was a mild white fish but it had a lot of breading. Not bad, just not grouper, I don't think. Service was really good. Food came out fast and hot. I know restaurants really can't help the cost of everything but eating out really has become a once a week thing and I had hoped for a little better quality of the fish. I'm sure their other items are good, but most meals were close to $20 for lunch and just not wanting to spend $50 for lunch for two the day before Father's Day. This place was filling up fast with locals so I'm sure the other dishes are really good. read more

My family and I dined here recently as it had been highly recommended by friends. The restaurant is located on Highway 27 in Lake Wales. I'm told it recently was acquired and is under new ownership. I'm not quite sure what the hype is about. The food was good but not outstanding. Also the prices were a little high for Polk County. They do not seat you until your entire party arrives so three of the five people in my party waited while my son and I were 10 minutes late. Upon being seated it took several minutes for our server to come and talk to us. By the time she did arrive we were able to not only order our drinks but our entire meals. The really sad part is that it seems the kitchen lost our ticket and it took nearly an hour for food to come out after we ordered it. My preschooler actually yelled at the server and said where is my spaghetti and why is it taking so long? Thankfully our server was very kind and went and got my sons food earlier but we still waited another 20 minutes for everybody else's food afterwards. My steak was good but not outstanding. It was cooked well and I really enjoyed that I could get linguine with marinara or Alfredo sauce with my steak. The Caesar salad was also quite good but it had way too much dressing. I practically never say some thing has too much dressing so it really had a lot of dressing if I thought it was too much! Everyone else had the house salad which is served with a ranch. My family remarked that the ranch dressing was actually quite good. The rolls were good when they were hot but very lackluster once they cooled off. They were served with cinnamon butter and plain butter. Two of the three steaks were well cooked. One was a little under but it had taken so long to get our food that we did not argue over it. So overall we thought the food was good but the prices were high and the service was very lackluster. It took way too long to get our food. read more

The food and service is always top notch. I ordered one of the daily specials, a half chicken and it was very good and enormous! I could not finish it. Our waitress was Angela and service was AMAZING as usual (we've gotten Angela a few times and always a pleasure). Always keeping our glasses full and doing a great job. read more

Food is usually a Lil bland.. but tonight was great. Calamari was perfect. Fish sammach was good.
