About Frescos Southern Kitchen & Bar
Fresco’s Southern Kitchen & Bar is where Lakeland gathers. Seven days a week, the table’s set for craveable Southern staples, Spicy Chicken & Waffles, Shrimp & Grits, Monte Cristo, the FSKB Burger, and weekend rituals that locals swear by. Bottomless mimosas turn downtown into brunch central, while Whiskey Wednesday brings half-priced pours and flights for bourbon fans. Chef Tina Calhoon’s cast-iron classics are built to share, built to linger, and built for repeat visits. Indoors, outdoors, day or night, this is the spot where friends bring out-of-towners to say, “This is our Lakeland.”

This was our first time visiting, and we had a great experience! The atmosphere was very lively, but we had our newborn baby with us and sat at a high-top with her in the stroller. We had no issues at all and felt very comfortable. We ordered the spicy chicken and waffles, and they were phenomenal! The food had just the right amount of heat for us. Everything came out hot and didn’t take too long, which was especially appreciated with a newborn. Our server, kaitlyn was also great. The manager, Jake was also very nice.They checked on us to make sure everything was good and were very pleasant and friendly to talk to. Overall, we had a wonderful first experience and would definitely come back!

Absolutely AMAZING from start to finish! The food was incredible, the portions were generous, and the prices were more than fair for the quality you receive. The atmosphere was beautiful, welcoming, and had such a great vibe. Our server, Olivia, was truly the highlight of our visit. She was beyond excellent. She was exceptional! She flowed through the restaurant with such confidence, professionalism, and grace. Even while taking care of multiple tables, she made us feel like we were her only table. She was attentive, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, and anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Her customer service was one of the best experiences I’ve had at any restaurant. Olivia made our entire dining experience even more enjoyable, and she deserves to be recognized for the outstanding job she does. If you’re looking for amazing food, generous portions, a great atmosphere, and exceptional customer service, Fresco’s Southern Kitchen & Bar is the place to go. We will definitely be back, and I hope we’re lucky enough to have Olivia as our server again! I also want to recognize the manager, Jake. He was so friendly and welcoming from the moment we arrived. It’s easy

We arrived for brunch and had a short wait to get our seating, we had 5 adults with 2 toddlers and a child. They have outdoor seating, but we opted for indoors. We had a variety of offerings from their menu. The food was well presented and served. I did feel most of the food I ordered and tasted from the items the others ordered needed a little more seasoning. To be fair I've experienced some venues in which I've been to where there has been inconsistency in the kitchen or even in the people taking your orders and bringing your food, sometimes people are not having a great day and I understand that. Overall the experience at Frescos was good but not great, giving my personal likes in seasonings.

Stumbled onto this restaurant after my daughter’s dance competition in Lakeland and I’m so happy we did! We went early Sunday morning for brunch and everything was delicious! The spicy bloody Mary’s were a perfect way to start! We had the fried green tomatoes and devilled eggs which were delicious! Also had the brioche French toast and the egg, grits and steak bowl. Everything was so delicious! Service was amazing and I loved the atmosphere!

Melanie was absolutely fantastic! A touch of southern hospitality was on point, starting from a cute motivational quote on my beverage cup, phenomenal recommendations to the menu (and other local shops), to being incredibly prompt, fast and kept our table clear of any dirty dishwares. 10/10, we will be back again!
