I zipped over to this tiny place for a quick BBQ lunch and unfortunately, the results were mixed…read more This is a take-out only place where you walk up to the window. There is a bench to sit on and wait for your order to be filled. There are four picnic tables with umbrellas if you wish to eat outside. The guy behind the window was incredibly five-star friendly and efficient. I had my food in maybe four minutes tops! I ordered the Chopped Pork sandwich, fries, slaw, and a fountain drink. I was asked if I want BBQ or mustard-based sauce and I went with mustard. It came to $10 and was packaged just fine. I decided to eat at a picnic table and had no problem finding some shade. The crinkle cut fries were a very large portion and hot and crispy and damn fine. The Cole slaw was a little tangy and tasted great. Now for the sandwich which should be the star of the show. Not so much! It was a very skimpy portion of pork. I could get more pork in my sandwich just about anywhere. What was there was tasty, and the sauce was good, but I was disappointed. I was supplied with napkins, but I really really needed one of those wet wipes. They should fix that. As I prepared to leave, I discovered there was no trash can. What the hell! So, I took my trash and my sticky hands to my car. As I drove home with my trash next to me and my hands stuck to the steering wheel, I contemplated this review. The best I can do is an overall three stars. There are a plethora of BBQ joints in Central Florida and it's easy to do better than this!

They have reduced their menu from when they were previously open. Personally a fan of a smaller menu where the kitchen can become very proficient on these offerings. All of us were very pleased with our food. The updated venue was very nice and the parking lot has had a very nice upgrade. Very happy that one of our favorite seafood restaurants is now open again.

I set me in car and waited until 2:30 pm I paid for my Slab of ribs ($33.00) with sauce on the side and a large potatoe salad ($8.00). My husband also wanted a cup of peach cobbler which is so good. The ribs was so tender omg! I was so satisfied. The owner and his wife are so nice their customer service is amazing. We go there so much tell she remembers us. They are located next to a fruit stand and we always purchase items there. Not sure what the name of it. The location is easy to locate also across from racetrac gas station. They only take cash! I did not take a picture of the slab of ribs because my family tore it up. It is a must to pay them a visit.

Delicious rib sandwich but you better get there early!!!!! This is a food trailer on a heavily…read moretraveled road. We stopped for lunch around 2:00 on a Friday afternoon and they were out of pulled pork and bbq chicken. So I had to settle for the rib sandwich. Which was delicious by the way. The sides were Mac and cheese, Cole slaw, baked beans etc. I had the Mac and cheese and it was delicious! Cheesy creamy goodness and the pasta was not over cooked. The small size was a 12 ounce styrofoam cup so plenty for 2 people. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was because they were out of 2 of their main meats. This is definitely tops for bbq.

I used to regularly work in Lakeland and I had three places that I would eat when I was in…read moreLakeland. Lovebird was one of my three places. So you can imagine how happy I was when they decided to open a love bird in Winter Haven just a few miles from my permanent office. I think this location is even better than the Lakeland location because it is a little bigger than the parking lot is much better. They still have that absolutely fabulous crispy fried chicken that is so delicious. I love that you can cater it to your personal spice level. I like mine medium, but my mom prefers hers with no spice. Their fried chicken stays crispy even when it gets cold. Sometimes I'll go and grab myself some lunch while I'm at work and then get some fried chicken to take home to my husband for dinner and it's still crispy and juicy and fabulous. I also love that they have a meal that was invented for me. My favorite thing to order is called, The my girl ain't hungry. It consists of one giant chicken, tender in your choice of fried or grilled with a side and a drink for eight dollars. It is the perfect portion for me. Now, when people come to visit me in Winter Haven, lovebird is always one of the places I recommend we grab lunch.

I plan to take 1 piece & side to work tomorrow. I got the skin on fries to eat now & the jalapeño bacon cream corn to work. You have to choose a heat level. The levels are from no heat to what they call -why? I chose the why. It was delicious and habanero hot. The chicken was amazing! The crispy coating was seasoned with the habanero. Soooo yummy. They include a dipping sauce. Pick your pleasure. I'll definitely be back to try the many ways they prepare chicken. Fortunately there is a location in Lakeland too.
