Highland City Diner - Lakeland

I didn't care for the sadwich, The Gobbler, It was dry and the bread wasn't fresh. They did change out the bread for me. My husband had an unremarkable club sandwich. I thought it a little too expensive for what we got.

Great food, generous helpings and staff was friendly. Our family enjoyed breakfast and we are making sure to keep this place in mind when we travel back up in this area. We will be stopping again.

The fist time I went in there it was good food and decent service. We just went back and we where told to seat ourselves and we did. No one came to our table to even bring menus. We sat there for 10 minutes. No one greeted us, brought us menus or a water. And it was not busy, they only had a handful of tables in the whole restaurant. There where 4 ladies just standing at their take out counter with a box of menus beside all of them and no one bothered to bring anything over. Also it seemed like their ac wasn’t working because it was really hot on the side of the restaurant we sat in, and that’s a big problem in FL summer time.

We have ordered a French dip to go before and it was very good. It is our favorite French dip of all time, however this order was sub par. The bread isn't toasted AT ALL and the meat is not very seasoned. I also did not ask for 40%less fat chips. Disappointed.

Let me start by saying the service at this establishment is great! The employees are attentive, welcoming and very nice. But the true highlight is their food!!! IT'S DELICIOUS! Truly a hidden gem and recommend against any chain restaurants. Great food, great portions and locally owned. Proud to support a local restaurant of this caliber.
