A friend and I were seated. Two other tables were seated after us. We told the server that we were ready to order. The server proceeded to take our order and didn't turn it in until the other two tables ordered. The other tables got their food first. My friend got her food but I didn't get mine. Whe...
Loved our dining experience... best steak they ever had from the meat eaters in our group, I am a vegetarian and still had a wonderful meal from the sides. We enjoyed the free birthday meal.
WE HAVE BEEN VISITING CHAMPS SINCE OUR CHILDREN WERE 8 AND 10. NOW OUR 26 YEAR OLD WHO ALSO FREQUENTS CHAMPS FOR THE POOL TABLES AT THE OLD PLACE HAS PASSED BUT WE STILL VISIT REGULARY AND ENJOY IT AND THE FOOD.
The Antiquarian is unequivocally the best restaurant in Lakeland. I have seen some negative reviews of it and I simply can't understand what they are talking about. If you want a chain restaurant experience, The Antiquarian is not for you. However, if you want a unique dining experience with wond...
took boyfriend to lakeland texas cattle company for birthday.. waited over 10 minutes to be acknowledged instead server went to table next to us who had just been seated. we got up and left.. hostess was very kind... bad experience.. for the price service should have been better.
I've been patronizing Jimbo's since 1973. When people ask me where to go for barbecue, I first question them to discern their true priorities. If they want quantity, I recommend Sonny's which has all-you-can-eat specials on their OK but ordinary ribs. If they want quality, I send them to Jimbo's for...
Service was great. Food was good. Had the filet, and it tasted great but had too much fat in it. They need to dust the knick knacks.
Last Saturday night my wife and I visited the Antiquarian in downtown Lakeland. We had reservations for 7. We showed up about 15 minutes early and even though the restaurant was full we were accomodated right away. The service from beginning to end was prompt, courteous and professional. We were...
My husband and I are new to Lakeland and had visited the Antiquarian a few times for lunch. We decided to try it out for dinner this past Saturday evening and all I can say is that it was a DISASTER! Our waitress came over and started rattling off the "specials" (she didn't ask us for want we wanted...
Service is slow, awful and stressful waiting times. Sometimes the food is good and sometimes it is not worth the wait or the price. Very inconsistant dining best to skip this place.
We went there for my birthday for the free birthday cowgirl steak. This visit was on 2/4/08 the day after the super bowl. None of the employees were moving to fast after the big super bowl the day before. We got there there at 5pm and did not get our dinner until 40 minutes later. The salad was good...
This resturant was a very big disappointment for a friend of mine who is in her 90's. She brought her male friend with her as well as her driver for a birthday lunch. She had been dreaming about an entree she had had before that she really enjoyed. She waited at least 12 minutes for a server to come...
I have eaten there many times & the meat is consistent & cook to order. I love when your birthday is on a Monday you can get all you can eat serloin for free with all the fixens. Also there Blue Rose of Texas drink is there signiture drink & you cant drink just one. We love there fried mushrooms. We...
An abysmal experience. A clueless hostess who steered me immediately to a small table next to the restaurant was only the beginning. I sought Mario's out, having seen a mention online. But what a disappointment. Overpriced, overrated. We've eaten at some very good Italian restaurants around the coun...
The food is excellent
The best steaks in Lakeland are waiting for you at Texas Cattle Company. Located centrally in downtown on beautiful Lake Mirror, the aroma of delicious steaks grilling on mesquite fills the parking lot. The "bone-in-filet" is a masterpiece. To make your evening extra special, request "Jen" as your...
My family and I have dined at this particular Carrabba's several times and the food is spectacular. The pasta "bar" is a great cozy place for a couple to enjoy both the food and interaction with the cooks. The marsala sauce on the filet and the spiedino de mare (shrimp/scallops lightly breaded) ro...
My wife and I dined here, Saturday 6PM, December 22, on our wedding anniversary. Our waitress, Diane, was wonderful and the food was delicious. We loved the appetizers, the salad, and the entrees. The deserts (we tried several) were out of this world. The Antiquarian provided the romantic evening ...
My guest and I were in your restaurant on 11/07/2007 to celebrate our birthdays. I have a Florida State ID which is a legal document, and was told that I had to have a drivers's license. My party was there around 2100, and your waitress was very unprofessional and just down right nasty! I have b...
the absolute best filet I've ever had. i would never have dined here had a friend not told me how delicious the food was. spoke with the owner, also. a very nice man.
