As all waffle houses, fast food as soon as you order. Our server was very friendly. Food came hot and delicious. Coffee was good.

FINALLY made it to a Waffle House. They don't have these in California, but I wish they did - grits an all. The service staff seemed to enjoy working with each other and were pretty friendly as well. Food is simple. You can't have much expectation here, and for the price you get quite a lot of food. My eggs were cooked a little too much but otherwise my blueberry waffle was a bit too sweet. I can't complain though, I enjoyed the food quite much and maybe that's heavily to do with me wanting to try a Waffle House for years.

The whole time I was in here, I felt like I had been transported in time to some 1970's truck stop in Wichita. 90% of the patrons were men, and most of them had on the typical cliched outfit of a trucker hat and plaid shirt. There was a jukebox, which i was dying to play since there was the enticing lure of a Waffle House jingle selection, but since everyone looked very hard-nosed and business minded, I didn't dare. I ordered...what else, but a waffle, which was tasty, but I had to eat it plain since the "butter" was this hideous chemical spread and the "syrup" was on par with Aunt Jemima (vile). A side of sliced tomato arrived shockingly tiny, pink and mushy, which would have been acceptable in Ohio, but certainly not in a place where the growing season lasts 12 months. Bacon was acceptably crisp, but unremarkable. If you are on any kind of diet, it might be wise to steer clear of this chain as they really only give low-calorie and "healthy" options only the slightest nod. You are coming here for coffee, giant piles of hashbrowns and patty melts. The service was adequate, but not terribly pleasant or chatty. The place could also use a serious overhaul in terms of updating the decor.

Dry hash w barely any jalapeño

Got bacon medium wasn't medium but that's was fine and triple hash with gravy and jalapeño and got back home to eat and wasn't enough gravy or jalapeño for the servings so I went back I didn't worry about the jalapeño but I needed more gravy and they made us pay $1.00 even though they barely put any in the first place and it still wasn't enough I'm going to post a picture to show how dry you get gravy for it to be smothered not for it to be like plain hash .... 2-10 the one in plant city always does a good job on the portions of gravy vs hash def worth the drive over there to avoid this Waffle House again

Cozy Oaks is precisely what I want in a diner. Breakfast all day, nice selection on the menu and a…read moregood cup of coffee. Oh they have great crinkle fries, by the way. We've been coming here for the better part of 10 years. Seriously, this place is fantastic. Today we came in just after the lunch rush. And what makes me write a review after all this time is because The Reuben has been added to their sandwich lineup. I am a sucker for a good Reuben. I love some of the various versions out there like a Grouper Reuben or a Turkey Reuben but there is nothing like an original. The bread is their marble rye which was already freakin fantastic; patty melts are phenomenal here. The ratio of corned beef and sauerkraut was spot on perfect. Don't you just hate it when it's out of balance? The cheese was perfectly melted and the dressing was oh so good. It was sandwich heaven. My apologies for having no pictures. I don't know if I was especially hungry today or what, but when the food hit the table the hubs and I dove straight in.

For St. Patrick's Day, we decided to eat here, and we got here near noon and it was very crowded…read more We decided to stay and waited about thirty minutes. We finally got a table to share with other people. My Mom and my older brother Bill ordered the Corned Beef and Cabbage. They said the Corned Beef was pretty good, but the Cabbage was tough and not good. My brother Jonathan ordered the Pancake special with sausage and home fries. They didn't warn him that the pancakes would be green, lol. We thought it was pretty funny, but he said they didn't taste that good. He loved the rest of his breakfast. I had the French toast and bacon with hashbrowns and scrambled eggs. I loved the French toast and bacon, but didn't like the hashbrowns and eggs. It was really hit or miss. The restaurant didn't seem very clean either. We had fun anyway.

We had no issues at all and felt very comfortable. We ordered the spicy chicken and waffles, and they were phenomenal! The food had just the right amount of heat for us. Everything came out hot and didn't take too long, which was especially appreciated with a newborn. Our server, kaitlyn was also great. The manager, Jake was also very nice.They checked on us to make sure everything was good and were very pleasant and friendly to talk to. Overall, we had a wonderful first experience and would definitely come back!

We travel to hike/walk and are always looking for cute places. We were seated right away and the decor was so cute inside. Their menu had so many choices and I was having a hard time picking! Their fall drink specials looked absolutely amazing! It took quite awhile for our waitress to come say hi and get us water. At the time it wasn't very busy, so we did almost get up and leave (for reference at how long it took). We both ordered the Carrot Cake Cozy Latte with Oatmilk, and our meals right away as well because it had taken so long for anyone to come over. We waited...and waited...and waited. The Latte was actually a tea so we knew it shouldn't have taken that long. People came and started sitting around us and they were receiving their coffees and drinks. We finally flagged down the waitress and she seemed annoyed and said oh yeah I need to get it at the bar. We were eating in, and I saw others receiving coffee in coffee cups. Our tea came in to go cups (think paper)...and no sugar or anything was dropped off. Being represented as a latte, typically that wouldn't need sugar, so no problem...until we tried it. Both were very watered down and little flavor. I had to go fetch us some sugar, and It took us 3 sugar packets to have any taste or resemblance of "carrot cake". Our food finally came out, and it looked amazing. My friend ordered the Fried Green Tomato BLT and I ordered the morning munchies, which had pork belly and caramelized onion, scrambled eggs and other things. The bread was gluten free and hard as a rock. The eggs tasted like they were premade (think hotel style). The pork and caramelized onions were delicious. My friend's fried green tomatoes seemed to be missing the tomato. There was so much breading and they were unbelievably dry. I love fried green tomatoes and these were, unfortunately, awful. I wish I could say I liked it, but between the service, tea and food, I likely would never go back.

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.

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
