Food + Beer - Florida Sports Bar — Restaurant in Lakeland

So, we recently came this past Sunday for brunch. This was our second time at this location. Our first time there was AMAZING. I wish I remembered our waitresses name because she was the best. When we arrived, I asked for a low table for two people. We were informed that there were no low tables at the time, so we sat at the low part of the bar instead. I have no idea what the bartenders name was because she never officially introduced herself to us. We sat there for about 5 minutes before she came to ask for our drink orders. We told her we wanted to do the mimosas, and she said OK, gave us one glass (she said she was going to go look for another one) and our wristbands. While waiting she continued to serve her other guest while we looked at the menu, but I had an issue with the fact of after serving her guest and going back around the bar again she came back our way and she asked the gentlemen on the left of us did they need anything, skipped over us, asked the gentlemen on the right of us did they need anything, and continued on. She never asked us did we want water or appetizers or anything for that matter. After sitting there for another 10 minutes is when she told us that they don't have any more mimosa glasses, and someone had left to go get more. For the inconvenience I didn't see the issue with giving customers a regular glass until the mimosa glasses arrived. We had not been here for long so they had to be out of those glasses before we arrived, and from what we could see it wasn't totally packed. I understand being busy and short staffed but it's your job to smooth things over when you have caused an inconvenience in the customers experience so that you don't lose business. I love the food and the mimosas, so it was very unfortunate and disappointing that we had that experience. We ended up just leaving as we didn't have an estimated time for the glasses to arrive and wasn't given any other drink options, we were just left to sit there and look around. I don't know if we will return but I would never sit at the bar again. Please take this feedback seriously and handle these types of situations better with...

My visit to Lakeland Food + Beer was nothing short of an amazing experience!

The atmosphere at Lakeland Food + Beer is a true celebration of sports culture. The spacious layout, complete with numerous large screens strategically positioned around the bar, ensured that every seat was a prime spot for catching any game action. The arcade was perfect for my little ones.

Now, onto the most important aspect: the food and drinks. Lakeland Food + Beer menu is a home run for anyone craving classic sports bar fare with a creative twist. I started with the "Buffalo Califlower," and I must say, it lived up to its name. The best part was the jalapeno ranch dipping sauce. The burger was bursting with flavor. I also ordered a side of perfectly seasoned homemade fries.

The drink selection was equally impressive.

One thing that truly made the experience exceptional was the engaged and friendly staff. The servers were quick to recommend dishes and drinks based on preferences, ensuring that each visit is tailored to individual tastes.

This was our first time here and I can say that it was really pleasant. We came tonight at 6:30pm and called ahead by 2 days to let them know we'd have a party of 15+. They assured us we'd have a spot for our party to celebrate my wife's birthday.

First, our server Madison was very attentive and reassuring in all our ordering and post clean up. She was prompt in being us our drinks and had a very well feel for how her tables, including, ours were doing throughout our time under her service. Madison was very aware of dishes coming out to accommodate everyone in our party. Madison did a great job overall.

I had a standard margarita and it was delicious. Their Narragansett Lager is refreshing and just a nice Lager for the price of $3.50 during happy hour. Our party enjoyed each of their cocktails, the bartender definitely knows what they're doing.

Our food was really good all around (I recommend the Mexican Street Corn). From the Large Pretzel, to the French fries the starters were good.

I had the Kona Blue and was pleased with the size and flavor. I also tried the wings and thought they were a little on the smaller size. One addition we tried was the PB & J (Jalapeno..not to be confused with Jelly) sauce which I used on my burger!

Overall the experience was definitely a high B+ and every thing was great.

Will be...
