Smiths American Tavern - Lakeland (FL)

4 /5 Megan Schmidt: We had a great experience here. My husband and I always split food so we ordered the buffalo chicken wrap and we both agreed it was the best one we ever had. For our side, we chose brussel spouts and they were very flavorful and delicious. We also spit the Philly cheesesteak dip and that was very good too. We had a few cocktails that were very good as well. Im dropping 1 start only because they had one bartender working and making drinks for the entire restaurant and the was a good wait between drinks. Other than that, it definitely would have been 5 stars.

5 /5 janine worachek: Smith’s American Tavern in Lakeland just gets it. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels welcoming, lively, and comfortable all at once. It is the kind of place you come to unwind and end up staying longer than you planned. The owners are hands on and genuinely care about the experience they are creating, and it shows in every detail. The food is consistently great, and the drinks are always amazing. Every cocktail is thoughtfully made and never disappoints. Tuesday night bingo is such a fun touch and brings great energy to the room. It is something to look forward to and makes a regular weeknight feel special. Smith’s is one of those places you bring friends because you know it will be a good time. Food, drinks, atmosphere, and people all hit the mark every single time.

4 /5 Seth Gilland: Excellent amd friendly servers. We arrived at a rush, so it took longer than I suspect it would normally. The food was terrific even though the Brussel sprouts were not as cooked as wed like. Overall, it was great and well definitely return.

5 /5 Joshua Kemp: Honestly was not expecting that much from this restaurant, but the atmosphere felt perfect. The look, the smell, the lighting was just right. (This can be subjective) Another thing I didn’t expect was the presentation. The way the food was presented was phenomenal. The food tasted as good as it looked and smelled. It was extremely fresh and clean. The service was awesome. Dawn M was our waitress and she was an absolute saint. She was very helpful, and offered excellent insight about the menu options and she kept the refills coming!! I might be kind of glazing but my girlfriend and I didn’t expect the experience to be that amazing…they will definitely be seeing us again. My compliments to the chef…he outdid himself/herself. For appetizers we had the fried mozzarella and meatballs. Never had fried mozzarella like that before. It was a pleasant surprise. You could taste the spices in the meatballs and you could tell the sauce was hand made. It wasn’t frozen meat they heated up and slapped sauce on. It was well thought out and well made. I had the smash burger and it was really good. A lot of flavors and very juicy. My girlfriend had the salmon and she loved it. She also raved about the Caesar salad. She said it was fresh and tasty. Overall awesome food, service and eating environment!
