10. Gary's Oyster Bar & Seafood

This building is one many would easily pass by, don't do that. My brother and sister-in-law wanted seafood since they don't get a lot of it where they live and the internet coughed up Gary's. Robin was our waitress and she was friendly and attentive. For appetizers we went for oysters, fried for me and on the half-shell for the rest of the party. My oysters were nicely done and plump. The raw oysters were quite to the satisfaction of those that ate them. As they are raw oyster aficionados that is a compliment. Three of us ordered the broiled scallops. They were exactly as they should have been, not chewy like I have had them in other restaurants. My brother had the blackened grouper which he enjoyed. He was asked what level of spiciness he wanted. Large baked potatoes and a salad were the accompaniments. Also included were hush puppies, also properly prepared, not hard and crunchy as I've had to endure elsewhere. The seafood menu was extensive and other items are also available. There is a full bar. The entrance is handicap accessible and there is adequate parking. I enjoyed this restaurant so much I would happily have gone back but our limited time in the area did not allow it.

I have always been curious about this restaurant since I move to Winter Haven 5 years ago. I had tickets to the Ritz theater, so I decided to go. I studied the menu online so I knew what I wanted when I got there. I had no reservation, but they accommodated me. I ordered the wings and the hand cut fries. They were great. The place is spacious and there was pleasant music playing in the background. I will be here again. You should too.

Rumor is that they have the best steaks in town. I donât eat steak. They have excellent shrimp appetizers and great fish dinners. The atmosphere is like a party, I took local friends there and they said Mannys is now their favorite restaurant. The fried mushrooms appetizer is huge, happy hour is well- very happy.Love the one downtown winter haven and the one on I-27 in Haines city.

Polk County's Premier Waterfront Restaurant.
Reviewed By FloridaMJZ
Had dinner after hearing about its great location on a lake. To be fair we're from Pennsylvania where lakes tend to be larger and a bit more scenic. However, based on our year here in Florida its still a nice lake location. The view is nice - not spectacular but nice. Our meals were good and our service was good. Its not what we'd consider fine dining but it was a good meal. Portions were good. We'd go back.

Very recently under new ownership, this restaurant offers a surprising range of food, all excellent prepared. Most things on the menu can be made vegan, which accomodates my wife. My cod was excellently prepared. It was very fresh with no "acidy" taste so common to cod that has been frozen or that is not perfectly fresh. We will definitely be back!
4. Idle Zone Bar & Grill
Reviewed By gerrygrafstrom
We've eaten here twice, both visits were about the same, the main difference is there were less choices on the menu the second time. The first time they screwed up my wife's order, the second time my sister-in-law's. It didn't seem to matter what we ordered, the food was not noteworthy.

3. Brew Hounds
Reviewed By Cristin B
Love the beer flight! you get 4, 3 oz samples in the flight and can choose anything on tap. Their sandwich of the Moment was quite an experience. This is very good bar food.The atmosphere can be very noisy as it is a very open area. There are not very many tables and the turnover is slow. Who wants to gulp down a good beer so someone can take their table? Go early, check their website for what is on tap, and be patient. They work hard here but there never seems enough staff to go around.

First time at a Chili's and thought it was good for the price. The lunch special was only 8 bucks and I got a small caeser salad that i didn't like, 2 shrimp tacos that were great and salsa and chips that were great. I will go back for lunch but probably skip for dinner. If they would improve their salad dressing it would be better.

Stopped in here for lunch while at a baseball tournament at nearby Lake Myrtle Fields. We saw the advertising at the games, so it was an easy choice while hunting for a place to eat. Our server was good and the food was average. My wife had a salad and I had the Watterson. I feel like there should be more to write on this, but that just lends itself to why it is only average.
