My favorites are meatloaf, sweet tea and there's only one other place I know of that has Mr. Pibb on fountain. Great people. Great history. Just today I had fried catfish.

And when you think it can't get any better- tomorrow, September 19th I'll be 59 years old and can't wait to see what kind of deals I can find at Fred's. Did I mention cabbage, greens, biscuits, beans and sweet tea. See y'all in the morning.

I use to come here all the time when family lived in the area and upon driving through I HAD to stop in for lunch. The customer service here is great. Everyone is pleasant and the server made sure we understood the setup on home to get food and the cost. Our drinks were never empty here. The food is just fantastic. The kitchen does a great job on cooking and keeping everything on the buffet line stocked. Some of my favorites were the ribs, green beans, and fried chicken. The ribs were so tender and packed with flavor. The fried chicken had the perfect crispiness on the skin. The green beans were real southern fixed green beans. The desserts were great and my mom and I split 4 of them! Worth trying everything. Thank you for a great meal!

I lucked out with a space right in front. They were still serving breakfast when I arrived, and I cannot resist that. It doesn't look like much from the outside, honestly, but it's absolutely cowboy-kitsch on the inside. Like the 1980s trend of copying the 1950s. I loved it. Very homey and comforting. I was told to sit where I wanted, so I chose a booth. The whole place was very clean (including the Cowgirl's bath/Room). Both of the ladies who waited on me were very lovely and pleasant. The coffee was excellent. Yes, I love that fancy stuff, but my heart lies with that wonderful plain old cup of diner coffee. Snellgroves has it. I had two cups. Yum. They have a breakfast menu with all the basics. I chose a bacon & cheese omelette, with hash browns and a biscuit. Breakfast came out quick, hot and fresh. The omelette was perfect. Very little brown on the egg, cooked nicely. Good cheese mixture and nice bacon. Loved the hash browns. Nice crunch but not too over-cooked, just right. The biscuit, super light and fluffy; was split, buttered and grilled. Nice touch. I love diners like this. You expect a certain something and they deliver - and Snellgroves did just that. I hope I can get back here soon.

Whenever I'm in Florida, this is one restaurant I always make a point to visit! If you love…read moreauthentic New Orleans-style cuisine, this place is definitely worth checking out. From the moment you walk through the doors, you're surrounded by the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of New Orleans. The décor and overall ambiance really capture that classic Louisiana charm, making you feel as though you've stepped right into the heart of the Big Easy. The menu is extensive, offering a fantastic variety of traditional Cajun and Creole dishes, along with New Orleans-inspired cocktails and drinks. There's truly something for everyone! My personal favorites are the gumbo and crawfish étouffée, especially when paired with their delicious dirty rice. Both dishes are packed with rich, authentic Louisiana flavors and never disappoint. Between the food, the atmosphere, and the impressive menu selection, this restaurant delivers a wonderful New Orleans-style dining experience. If you enjoy traditional Louisiana cooking or simply want to experience a taste of New Orleans without leaving Florida, I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's definitely worth the visit!

We asked to be moved to the main dining area, which she did and it was much better. Just like last time, we waited forever for someone to come and take our drink order. Order was placed and we waited forever for our drinks. Mind you, there is hardly anyone in the restaurant on a Tuesday night at 6:15. After our drinks finally arrived, she took our food order. I settled on the 12 napkin Po Boy which I had last time. We again waited a really long time for our food order. Everyone enjoyed their meal, but the wait time for everything was ridiculous. We were there over 2 hours.

We were greeted immediately and taken to a table where a birthday card signed by the staff was waiting for me. They even created a personalized menu that I got to keep. Those thoughtful touches meant so much. And the food... WOW! The Delmonico was huge and cooked to perfection. The ropa vieja was full of flavor, with meat so tender it just fell apart. And the risotto? Goodness, you just have to try it. I can't even explain how good it was! The Brussels sprouts could have been a meal on their own, and the tres leches was absolutely divine. Meadow deserves a special mention. She was so sweet, professional, and kind, and getting to know a little more about her made the evening even better. What an amazing human! The place is beautiful. I left feeling special, loved, and definitely well fed! Thank you, Nineteen61 and Meadow, for making my birthday such a memorable one.

We recently came here for lunch. Here is what I thought…read more Atmosphere: We sat outside and enjoyed their lovely seating out front. The space was nicely shaded. The tables were nice and clean. I only went inside to use the restroom. The spaces looked nicely decorated. It definitely has an upscale vibe which matches the quality of the food. Restrooms: They had three gender neutral bathrooms. They were nice and clean. The one I used had a changing station for babies. Service: Our server was very friendly and so sweet. She was very attentive. She seemed to be working a lot of tables so the service was a little slow but it didn't bother us. She did forget our complementary drink for first time diners. She did have a lot going on so it didn't bother us either. Everyone was super friendly. Food: We really enjoyed our food. We got the 'Brussel Sprout' lunch starter and it was so good! It was packed with the flavor. The brussel sprouts were the perfect crispness. We both had their lunch special which was sooo good! This is definitely some top notch food for Lakeland. I can see why it is Michelin Recommended. The prices were reasonable too. This restaurant is on par with the top restaurants in Tampa! We loved our lunch and we will definitely be back. We want to check out their roof top bar. Always remember to shop and support local businesses. @therealistreg
