Mister Fish — Restaurant in Lakeland

Our first visit to Mister Fish! There were some positives and negatives to share, I'll start with the positives.

We ordered the fish sandwich and a fish basket. The same pieces of fried cod were in each. I was pleasantly surprised with the freshness, flavor, and texture of the fillets. Very tasty, not oily or greasy, and a delicate light batter. We really enjoyed them. The sides of fries, cole slaw, and baked beans were also very tasty and flavorful. Fries were crispy and done just right.

The staff at the window was friendly and cheerful. They communicated well.

On to the negatives. It is outdoor seating only, just a few picnic benches. It's in a sketchy neighborhood and we are pretty sure we saw a drug deal across the street. We also observed cars cutting through the parking lot to short-cut to the side street. We did not feel safe sitting here and dining. It would certainly be better to order take-out but we didn't know this beforehand.

We felt that the prices were rather high for this kind of counter-serve restaurant, especially for the sides. A tiny cup of baked beans was $4 (it was about 3 bites worth). They were certainly tasty but this cost was just way too much. The meal ticket was over $40 for the two of us.

Overall the meal was good, and I would stop in again for take-out if I am in the neighborhood. But I advise patrons to not attempt to dine on-site and to avoid extra...

This is one of the worst experiences I’ve ever experienced at a restaurant first when you call in to place the order and you look at the website online apparently they say that’s not up-to-date. When you get to the store I ask the gentleman over the phone if I can order a Philly cheesesteak Priced $10.99 And can I make it a basket for $2.50 ( As advertised) He says yes, you can, The basket includes fries and coleslaw, I then proceed to ask the gentleman can I swap the coleslaw out for extra fries? He says yes you can but doesn’t mention it’s an additional charge. When I get there, I don’t have time to discuss it so I end up paying almost twice. What the online price advertised. Then proceed to call to speak to a manager, and the girl who answers remembers me and basically says it’s just a real complaint? What’s the big deal about what happened? I gave you the menu why do you need to speak to a manager basically asking all of these questions to get me off the phone places me on hold and then someone who answers is obviously showing no signs of customer service or understanding when it comes to Lying from her employees and disrespect from her employees . Just know if you order online, your price will be double these young GenZ kids don’t seem to care about anything except for themselves horrible horrible restaurant and...

The food was absolutely wonderful!!! The flavors were amazing in everything we had. There was 7 people in our group and we each got something different and everything again was amazingly great. The young men and 1 young lady we dealt with today Saturday July 13 was friendly, helpful and in my opinion went above and beyond! It took a little time to receive all our orders but again there was 7 people in our group and others walking up. Considering the amount of people and the fact our food was all fresh, it was well worth that little extra wait. Most of us had our orders within 10 minutes 15 was the longest if that. So I’d say maybe 20 minutes in total for everything. My only complaint was the lack of parking but with the library right there some were able to parked there. Also maybe the fan pointed towards the windows on the outside might be pointed towards the picnic tables. It was just too hot to really enjoy our meal to the fullest. Just a suggestion. Last but not least the prices were really good for the food amount we got. Thank you,...
