The Lakehouse Kitchen - Big Box - Food Trucks Near Me - Bartow, Florida

When people talk about how good food trucks can be, they're talking about ones like the Lakehouse Kitchen. It's located behind Anytime Fitness on 540A and Bartow Rd intersection- I have a membership to Anytime and the truck is almost always busy any time of day I go to the gym. Or at least a few people are there unless the weather is really bad. And it's for good reason. It's definitely a little slow because they make everything fresh, so if there's a line you'll wait a good minute for the food but it's truly worth it. Especially the street corn mix, oh my word it's creamy and a little cheeses and delectable! Everything else I've tried I have enjoyed. Their birria is the real deal. Plus, they've significantly upgraded their setup the few years I've been in that area- a nicer covered area with a few picnic tables to sit at. Their prices are also pretty decent, especially for the quality meal you get in return. read more

Passed This Red Food Truck when I head to Winter haven Goodwill. The many times I drive by it - Barely have customers. Today I wanted a light cheap meal before I headed to do a few errands and decided to stop by and check it out. There were 3 customers in 2 were takeout and 1 was dining in. This is a food truck with shaded seating in front of the window area. The menu is on the left side with clearly written items and prices. The prices are not bad. The tamale was $2.50 each and Rice and Beans was $5. Canned sodas are $1.50. That is what I ordered and with tax came out to $9 ish and change. The wait time was not bad perhaps 15 mins or so. The Rice and beans came in a small Styrofoam container beans and rice separated but for $5 the portion was little. The Chicken Tamale was wrapped in foil like a burrito and once you unwrapped it the corn husk tamale is inside with a plastic fork. The taste: Chicken Tamale was ok. It was soft tender except the ends was kind of hard unsure if they microwaved the Tamale to heat it up but it wasn't boiled from what I can tell. Unsure if its steamed. The masa was seasoned but the chicken was not. It is shredded chicken inside had some areas kinda spicy but it needed salsa or more sauce with the chicken. The tamale size was not that big. My palm of my hand is longer or larger than the tamale. This is my true test if the cook / chef can cook Mexican food. Is the tamales good? If they up the size add more sauce and filling I would gave it a thumbs up. The Mexican Rice was not hot or even warm. It was ok Mexican rice. Red rice with frozen vegetables like carrots peas and corn. It was seasoned ok. The rice temperature was the issue here not necessarily the taste. The Beans was hot but lack of cheese on top and bland. If they used broth to add as liquid to make this it would have been not as bland. When i mixed this with the rice it heated up the temperature of the rice. Overall the food here is not worth coming back to. Now I know why they have no or barely have customers. read more

Went on taco Tuesday and had their dollar tacos! Got chicken, steak and pork. The flavors were kinda meh, shells were delish, but the steak was sooooo fatty. Maybe I had higher hopes since this place was so highly raved about and I waited my whole pregnancy to try it so I had higher hopes? Don't get me wrong I'll probably be back at some point and try the birria! The salsa was definitely the star.... Just wish you got more and wasn't charged 1 buck for a small little container... 50 cents maybe. Oh well! If you're in the area I hope you stop by! read more

This is a 2nd food truck and location for Lakehouse Kitchen, located behind Anytime Fitness & Catfish Country near the intersection of 98 and 540A traditionally known as "Highland City". The other is in Winter Haven. There are 4 sturdy tables under a lighted canopy with comfortable seating to enjoy your meal from about 11-8 six days a week. Believe it's closed Mondays. I enjoyed the over stuffed tacos, especially the steak. They were generous with onions and cilantro to your liking. The homemade tortillas were wonderful. There's much more to try here. Very popular for call-in "to go" orders. Birria tacos, tamales. Their FB page shows great specials. read more

Food that makes you take a moment to appreciate high-quality cuisine. Not only is their food freshly made when you order, but it also tastes phenomenal. Nothing on their menu is terrible. The journey your tastebuds go on, from the first bite to the last, is one everyone strives to experience when dining out. Not only is their food outstanding, but their customer service is excellent. For example, during Hurricane Milton, they were there for this community. When all of us were at home readying our homes for the storm, the staff remained at work to ensure everyone had access to a hot meal. When all of us were sitting without power, worrying about storm damage and cleaning up, the staff served our community with hot meals. This is going over and beyond in so many ways. I will be a forever client of this establishment due to their high-quality food and how they care about the communities they serve. We recently bought a home less than two miles from one of their locations. I am not exaggerating when I tell you I eat here five days a week, sometimes more. We volunteer at Bartow Middle School 3-4 days a week. What do the teachers and staff ask us to get when there? The lake house. Please stop by and allow your senses to fall in love with this hidden gem. Let's support small businesses like this that serve our community so well. read more

We had driven past many times and finally stopped! I'm kicking my own butt for waiting so long to try them!!! I got Birria tacos, my daughter got the chicken quesadilla and I got Birria ramen to go for my husband. The Birria was absolutely delicious!!' My daughter took one bite of her quesadilla and said "MOM! GO ONLINE RIGHT NOW AND RATE THIS PLACE 10/10!". My husband got home and ate the entire helping of ramen! But what sets this place apart even more is the impeccable Service! read more

Birria tacos was ok, I'd go again to try something different though. Street corn was ok but definitely over priced.

food is excellent honestly can't complain... but the prices are highway robbery plain and simple there is no reason 3 birria tacos should be $12 plus a $1 charge for not paying cash on top of tax and asking for tip??? service was very slow as well. all in all okay place, great food, horrible prices, and customer service wasn't the best either read more
