I have eaten a lot of Shrimp and Grits and this is one of the best versions I have tried. Super creamy, cheesy and peppery grits were topped with large, tender, meaty and briny blackened shrimp, flavorful lightly spicy andouille sausage, juicy grilled peppers and onions and crisp scallions. This was a very Cajun forward version of Shrimp and Grits full of mouthwatering flavors and textures. Overall, Smith's American Tavern has rocketed it's way to one of my favorites in Lakeland and will be visiting again soon.

He was very social and answered all our questions and socialized about personal life as well. We ordered the Cuban eggrolls, and they were quite good but had smaller cubes of ham as opposed to pictures showing slices in some older pictures posted to this establishment. The drinks were spot-on. Although I may sound disappointed, I'm looking forward to trying more on the menu that they have to offer. I plan to return to try more. Recommended!

My partner said they were the best eggrolls he's ever had and he is a picky one. The Buffalo Mac & Cheese was delicious and how crispy the chicken was made it even better! My partner ate their Okee Smash burger in probably under a minute too, he was so ecstatic about this place! We found a new hidden gem in Lakeland! We can't wait to go back!

Service is friendly and prompt, space is open and you have easy access to everything. If you get sliced brisket, you can ask for the fatty cuts. All the bbq sauces are great.... the lobster grilled cheese is now an off menu item, but it's something that's a must. Just a warning though.... the coleslaw is at about a dessert level amount of sweet. It's popular, but not for everybody. Wish there were more places like Gaskins! It's worth the drive if you're not from the area.

Don't let it being in an actual mall complex scare you the food was excellent. I had classic Maine petite lobster roll with drawn butter and lemon. The roll had that perfect toasting on the outside like you get on a grilled cheese sandwich. The portion was great for my needs. The sidewinders were my side and they came out hot and fresh. Lots of condiments to choose from. Hubby had the brisket sandwich and white mac n cheese. He loved every bite. He said the spicy bbq was his favorite sauce.

Service is always great with the waiter/waitresses always being playful and friendly, though I don't recommend sitting in the back room; it has a funny smell. For the food, you always get free delicious bread with their specialty butter that is good enough to eat by the spoonful. Harry's may be known for their seafood but they can do it all; Land (steak medallions are perfectly seasoned and cooked to your liking), Sea (incredible Shrimp and Grits with the sweet corn grits being a real knockout), and Air (Chicken Jolie Blonde is phenomenal! This dish is served on their famous grits cake smothered in a Parmesan sauce.) Trust me me and always order the Grits Cake as a side! Ended the meal with their Oreo Beignets, another "must get" dish!

I highly recommend that you ask for Brielle when you come visit. She works Tuesdays and Thursdays every week. Her service is always top-notch and she's very attentive. The atmosphere is very welcoming and their sports on every channel on every television set. They have great during specials happy hour from 3 to 7 PM Monday through Friday. I always drink a few Bud Lights when I come to visit. Sometimes through traffic, it actually takes me two hours to get here. But it's well worth the drive to come visit. Brielle is honestly the best server I ever go visit in the Tampa Bay/St Pete area. It's definitely worth a drive and definitely worth spending part of my day off here. The food is incredible and the beer is always cold. You can't ask for much more than that in today's economy. Brielle is an excellent brand ambassador for produce per house. She's kind sweet and very efficient at her job. she makes excellent suggestions of many items and always recommends what she likes the most I never have to wait for a beer. It's always a good time when I come visit this location. I honestly wouldn't go any of Dukes Brewhouse. And definitely I would always sit with Brielle. Thank you Michael J Beal Clearwater, Florida

My daughter accidentally placed her breakfast order at the wrong location. We explained the mistake to the employee at the drive-thru window, and I acknowledged that it was our error. I was not expecting special treatment, but I would have appreciated a little customer service. The employee simply said she would notify the other location, told us to have a good day, and closed the window. There was no offer to help us correct the mistake or even ask if we wanted to place a new order at that location. I would have gladly paid for breakfast a second time at the correct location. The issue was not the mistake itself; it was the complete lack of effort to help resolve it. Mistakes happen, and I understand that. However, a little courtesy, common sense, and customer service can make all the difference. Based on the other reviews, I hope management takes a closer look at the training employees receive and the overall customer experience.
