Strawberry Hut — Restaurant in Lakeland

Cultural appropriation is the adoption of an element or elements of one culture or identity by members of another culture or identity. Not one cuban element of my island in there yet cuban sandwiches are being made and called "original" when y'all don't know the culture and how to properly replicate a cuban, not only that but just cuz you slap meat between cuban bread, doesn't make it a cuban, it's like if it was a Jamaican cuisine place and no one even knows the culture and make generic attempts and sell them as original and profit off of it. Honestly I'm offended.when have you heard of a cold cuban? I'll wait ರ╭╮ರ and I'm not mad about one sandwich, the whole menu is just a verity of different modifications and labeling everything cuban. Cuban "hamburger?" In Cuba we have burger buns!?! Making them a cuban sub shop And to tell me it's their Cuban? Not their version! But their Cubans.!?! Wow. I wonder how mad y'all would be if it was a place selling a whole menu of Haitian food and passing it off as original without knowing what goes in it and how is is traditionally made? And profit off a culture? ಠಿಠ And say award for best Cubans? Are you serious? (ಠಠ)━☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ my people are going through a revelation right now !?!? They have been living in a tyrannical dictatorship ¯\ಠಠ_/¯ and all proceeds go in your pocket? We Cubans help each otherಠ◡ಠ we are proud ppl and too see...

The food is wonderful... but the woman behind the counter talking about my son's name and hearing her say alrighty then when we leave is not cool....1st off im not his grandma im not that old and don't look it... 2nd how dare you ask me if I thought before I named him...because he is going to have a hard time spelling it... don't you think that I'm going to teach him how to spell?? And 3rd this is supposed to be a Christian based place your not supposed to judge... there's a GAINT cross in the window... did you get a laugh when we walked out about a 2-year-old name?? If that made your day shame on you what's your name Karen?? His name is Vladislas and it's a strong name... I named him that so he could protect his special needs older brother... and plus it's a AMAZING name... you got problems if you got to laugh about that...shame SHAME on you!!! I was going to go back in there and tell you about yourself but I did like Jesus Christ did and turned the other cheek ...I'm not going to talk about how...

Given the 5-star reviews, I had high hopes for this little place. The sandwich menu is small -- eight variations on a Cuban sandwich. I ordered an 8-inch Original Cuban, which is supposed to come with smoked ham, deli ham, mojo pork, salami, swiss cheese, mustard, lettuce, tomato, and pickle, pressed with garlic butter. When I opened the sanwich in the car, the only meat was ham -- no mojo pork, no salami, and no cheese. The sandwich most certainly wasn't pressed, and there was no hint of garlic butter.

I had planned to eat at the restaurant, but the tables were full of crumbs, papers, and assorted liquids. Not very appealing. On the other hand, there were lots of pictures of Jesus on the walls. So if that's your thing, it may make up for the food and...
