First and last visit Not busy at Sunday lunchtime…read more We were ignored upon entry and then ignored for awhile when seated 1 extremely rude waitress showed up & took drink order and then overcharged us on bill (When you're calling everyone else sweetie, honey and or darling, and then come RBF us??) 9$ for a tea, a soda, and a water? No thank you (it was fixed) All fried veg options Asked to be steamed, food waitress immediately said no "that's the way he's cooking today" Opted for the salad then 16$ for chicken, shredded lettuce and tomato slices Pork chops over breaded & super fried Steak sandwich was a literally slab of steak on a sub bun, she couldn't even eat it as a sandwich When I asked them to fix bill, she went into kitchen with my card and was in there for much longer than needed to fix a handwritten bill Overall not nice service and disappointing food 60+$ for 3 lunches I get it. If you want fried food, go there. Locals probably will bite my head off. It was not our cup of tea in any way shape or form.

While visiting friends in Lakeland, they suggested we try out Catfish Country. Believe me, their…read moresuggestion definitely didn't disappoint. It was lunchtime and the parking lot was about 3/4 full...a good sign. Prior to entering the front door, I couldn't help but notice numerous license plates from around the country attached to the ceiling of the entry. We were welcomed by a maritime theme, again, along with numerous license plates tacked up in numerous places on the wall. I immediately noticed a few amateur "ham" radio plates. We were greeted by a friendly hostess. The place was bustling with the sounds of many customers chatting and laughing as we were escorted to our table. She presented us with menus and told us our waitress would be there shortly. After a short while we were welcomed by Madison, a lovely, young "bubbly" waitress. She presented us with their complimentary signature biscuits with cinnamon butter and their delicious coleslaw. We had already reviewed the menu and were eager to try their Alligator Nuggets w/horseradish dipping sauce and an order of Fried Calamari. We gave her that and our drink menu. She would be back shortly for our main menu selections. In the meantime, we sampled those excellent biscuits and cinnamon butter and coleslaw. Both...delicious! My wife and I were both there for their catfish, which was recommended by our friends. I got their blackened catfish sandwich and their criss-cut sweet potato fries. My wife got her catfish sandwich southern fried along with the same sweet potato fries I had ordered. Our friends ordered their mahi-mahi with fries and shrimp and scallops linguine with Alfredo sauce. Madison came back shortly with our appetizers. My wife was the only one of our group that hadn't tried alligator before. She was very surprised, commenting that it tasted like chicken. Ha Ha! Both appetizers were excellent. After a short while, the kitchen staff came out with our main menus. Lovely presentations on all of them, and "first bites" were all well-approved! Madison returned a short while later asking how everything was going. We shared our delight with all the meals. Of course, there was no way any of us could possibly have finished our meals, so Madison came back with plenty of "to-go" boxes. It was a very worthwhile experience for us...and our friends who were delighted we had enjoyed our time there. It will be a definite return visit when we come back. Hats off to Madison and the staff that gave us all a very memorable experience at Catfish Country!

We had a very good lunch here. We were traveling cross state to visit family for the holidays. Our…read moreusual lunch stop is now sadly closed, so we had to do a new search on Yelp. Found this restaurant as a convenient stop enroute. We entered right when they opened and there were already a few tables occupied. We were greeted by friendly Madison, our server, who could not have been cuter or nicer. The meal started out with warm biscuits and cinnamon butter. So good you could just eat these. We each chose a different fish dish from their lunch menu. Since they are named "catfish" country, I decided to get that. My husband ordered the cod. We chose the fish to be fried -- and they were lightly battered pieces and perfectly cooked. Each basket came with two sides. I got green beans and a baked potato. He had collards and cheesy grits. We both loved our fish choices. The only thing that I didn't care for were the green beans -- more like pole beans and peppery southern style (as in mushy). He thought his collards and grits were wonderful. I think we've found a new favorite place to stop mid-state.

Our server Brittany was on point with the serve and drinks, but the real star of the show was Brandi. She was the amazing lady who kept the salad bar stocked. I have been to several RT locations in the past and none were as good as this one. I just happened to mention that the signature croutons were running low and she brought me a bowl full to my table. Amazing! Now every time I go back, I make sure Brandi is working because I know it'll be good.

Salmon is great. Steak, well the steak needs work and so do the ribs. Steaks come out unevenly cooked and often undercooked. Ordered the 12 oz ribeye, medium rare - one side was cooked medium well and as I got further in, I got parts that were medium, medium rare, rare, and towards the other side it was practically raw. The meat was also very chewy. If I were running a restaurant and I knew I was serving choice or even select cuts of meat, I would find the best ways to tenderize the meat before they hit the grill. I'd also make sure the cooks were temperature checking each steak with a meat thermometer before serving. There should be no guesswork. It either hits the cook temperature or it stays on the grill.

Our server,TOOT, was so pleasant and addressed us with a smile and welcome that made us feel as if we were coming to our own local restaurant. The diverse menu gave us the option of 55+ meal, which was just the right amount of food without being excessive. We each had a two egg omelette cooked to perfection and served with a mammoth muffin that was served warm and was delicious. The manager,JOSH, came over to our table to welcome us and to acknowledge and ensure that everything was satisfactory. Perkins restaurant on E Van Fleet Drive in Lakeland Florida is a keeper. The restaurant is clean, the restrooms are clean, and the staff is welcoming and very accommodating. If you're in the area, make it a point of visiting this restaurant for a nice home-cooked meal.

Just want to start by saying, this First Watch in Winter Haven Florida has the best coffee I have…read moreever had at a First Watch. The very best coffee! We went on the site ahead of time and our wait list wait was less than what they estimated. I felt like that was a win. Also, our server was both attentive and pleasant and they were super slammed this Father's Day morning. And I need to back track just a little, because that first cup was really good and then they brought out a new pot of the First Watch dishwasher coffee that I have grown accustomed to. So there is that. We ordered two has meals. I got the summer special hash which had a Mexican inspired theme. The flavors were great, especially the queso. The meal was a tad above room temperature which had me thinking it had been sitting. Especially because the over easy eggs were luke warm. The other hash was about the same. Overall the food was not so good, especially for the price. But it was edible and I finished mine and it filled me so mission accomplished. Honestly though no where near amazing and other than it's uniqueness, a visit to Denny's or IHOP would have done just as good and for about a little over half the price. Still though our server was Dynamite and if it weren't for her I would be giving two stars instead of three. If the coffee didn't revert back to its weak state, it might have almost pushed it over 3 starts. Alas, here is where we are.
