All star breakfast
Tamela W.

The chocolate chip waffle was delicious! The scrambled eggs were not my favorite. I liked the grits they were warm and creamy. The bacon was tasty and nice and crispy. The service was very good and attentive. We only had a short amount of time and we were in and out in thirty minutes. It was a great experience.

The cleanest and biggest waffle house I've ever been to The cleanest and biggest waffle house I've ever been to five stars for a waffle house yeah but it was. It was good. I was a Food restaraunt and service was great.

Third review and best I could give again was a "2". The workers are friendly. Several of them are real hustlers. They had a great "host" helping with seating, even opening doors. He helped clean tables quickly. I wanted breakfast, friend wanted lunch, which they accommodate well. When I ordered breakfast the server changed my order to incorporate a lower cost deal which I appreciated. After a long wait due to crowd, my meal arrived first and to maintain heat, I began eating right away. Here the issues began. Ketchup container empty and had to wave it in the air to get someone to replace it (though 8 behind counter were waiting for orders). Once replaced the hash browns had cooled off. I'd ordered "mothered" which adds onions and we found almost a teaspoon of onions buried at the bottom (about 5 diced onion chips). Not nearly enough for the meal (not sure of upcharge for this?) Told the waitress but she disappeared. Two eggs cooked perfectly (50c upcharge per egg due to current cost so $12 meal was $13. (One table grumbled loudly it up'd their price $4 for 8 eggs. Two slices of barely toasted toast with one jelly pat delivered. Bacon very undercooked "blubbery", 3 slices. Edible but not tasty. Greasy. They deserved a pat dry. Waffle Houses don't deal with rye bread. The meal was edible and I was hungry. They could do better in the cook department and the puny onions won't bring me back. My friend got a patty melt and the smothered hashbrowns. She lucked into about 2 tsps grilled onions, still puny amount. She had asked for wheat bread instead of Texas Toast so they had remade them but only told her upon bringing them so late--She ate after I had finished. She found it "ok" not great. She had told the server the coffee was not great. The waitress offered to make a fresh pot but friend said she was fine, finished. Waitress said she'd take it off her bill, but did not. $3 cup and her patty melt with hashbrowns was $17.50. Costs were too high for the lower quality. This is the reason it was six years for a return. I do appreciate the friendliness of the servers and the clean table. Food has to improve to a quality finish. Toast the toast, add more onions, keep ketchup filled, get the order right, etc.

Angus cheeseburger with bacon

You can't miss this Waffle House, it's the biggest one I've ever seen. It's also not yellow, it's more of a burnt umber color. The young lady that waited on us said it used to be an auto supply store and that they use some of the extra space in back for training other stores. Because of it's size, it has more seating and a larger waiting area. The place was really clean and smelled good. They had ads for their "Angus Burgers" in the window, so we decided "What the heck" and ordered some. I had the cheeseburger with bacon and my husband had the double cheeseburger. Both had hash browns on the side, of course. They were just really good, diner style hamburgers. For the price we paid, it was equivalent to fast food joints, but in my opinion, better quality. We were happy with a hot, fresh, fast, and very affordable lunch.

My pal enjoying her hash browns, grits, and coffee at the South Florida Avenue Waffle House.

We always get great service at the South Florida Avenue Waffle House in Lakeland, FL. The hash browns and grits are the best.

Waffle House. Not just a roadside joint.  This is new and nice   Near College

New and clean! Good prices and good comfort food. We stopped here instead of a McDonald's. We shared a pecan waffles two scrambled eggs and hash browns well done. Plus 2 cups of joe. Out the door for 10 bucks! Plus the tip. So $13. Nice to see its a local place for families on a Friday night.

Now here's Waffle House fan.

We always get great service at WH on South Florida Ave in Lakeland. Love the grits and hash browns.

Sondra is an amazing cook. I've seen her in action several times over psst few months. She puts out hot food that looks and tastes good. She has also diffused confrontation between drunks and keeps a smile on the whole time.

Food fair, prices ok, music blaring way too loud. The staff is courteous, fairly quick service. Probably won't return because of loud music.

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.

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.

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
