This place was super cool, they had soooo many different kinds of beer! If you like stouts then definitely check out the Trail Mix Stout if they still have it on tap, sweet, strong and chocolatey!The food was very tasty, especially the beer cheese. The staff was very nice and friendly!The only reason Im giving them 4 stars is because they use single-use utensils and dipping bowls. #savetheplanet

Friendly and fast service. Amazing selection of craft beers. I had the Chicago style hot dog and the potato salad was some of the best Ive had; baby reds and creamy. 22 rotating beers on tap.

Craft + Kitchen has been my home away from home for the past few years. It’s the place that I find comfort in, the place to find new craft beers and to enjoy tasty food. Tonight Emily and Aaron went above and beyond with their customer service, and proved that their appreciation for creating lasting bonds and lifelong customers took precedence over the few minutes of closing on time. I will always recommend Craft + Kitchen and always feel at home whenever Emily and Aaron are behind the scenes.

Craft + Kitchen is an awesome destination for any beer lover. They have a great selection of drafts as well as beers you can take home in singles or six packs. The food was good too. Check them out!

Good service and good food. The avacado bacon chicken was quite tasty and served warm. The two meat bbq sandwich was just as tasty in its own way. If you are a consumer of adult beverages then you will have no shortage of choices.

Was a bit unsure of this place as the windows are completely tinted, so from the road it looks dead and a bit unappealing. However I was pleasantly surprised upon heading inside! The place appears newly renovated, but clean nonetheless. We were greeted by a very nice guy behind the bar, I cannot remember his name but it may have been Aaron or Adam? Something with an A I think. Anyway, he was incredibly kind and funny, and he gave us the whole spiel. We decided to get some drinks from the cooler, and they were very good!We sat down and played some of the games they have for guests to use.As a bar and hangout, this gets 5 stars easily… but as much as I liked the place, I would give the food 3 which is why I am only giving it 4 stars.I would have ignored the food, but I have to say this because they have “kitchen” in the name. The food wasn’t bad, don’t get me wrong. However, it was mediocre at best. The ideas are there, it’s the execution that is lacking. I did over hear the female bartender talking with a guest about them getting a smoker, so I am assuming their “kitchen” is still in the very beginning stages and will continue to improve. But the chicken was a bit dry and it, as well as the beef, were under seasoned. One weird thing is that the fries are baked, not fried which essentially made them fry-shaped mashed potatoes. I will say the pulled pork and beer cheese were very good!All in all, for a place with a great selection of drinks and great service you can’t beat Craft + Kitchen. I am looking forward to coming back, and will be bringing new people every time!

We ordered from this restaurant on door dash tonight and have never had such great service and food.The food was hot, all of our special requests were followed AND they remembered the forks,napkins and the extra sauces we asked for.We tried a lot of different dishes and were so incredibly pleased with all of them. The flavors in each dish are bold and different. We will 100% be coming back and ordering again. This is our new favorite restaurant.

Thursday night trivia was fun. Selection of drafts made me feel like I was back in Colorado. Had the tacos, they were delicious. Staff is friendly. I would recommend it.

Though this is a very beer focused business, the food is very good. The sandwiches tasted fresh and were well seasoned. I had the BLT, which surprisingly had a little bit of heat to it. They have a nice selection of cans and bottles, but only about 20 beers on tap. Prices vary on the drinks.They appeared to have no visible Covid protection in place, which is why they lost a star.

Review №11

HORRIBLE service and the food is even worse. No idea what these positive reviews are talking about, they must have switched management recently or something. After waiting for close to an hour during LUNCH when we were two of four people eating there, the food came out cold, disgusting, and didn’t even include the same ingredients that were listed on the menu. There’s so many good food options around town, don’t waste your time or money here.

First visit this evening. The girl that greeted us was also working behind the bar and she was not friendly whatsoever. We told her we had never been here before, she could have at least explained how things worked (they don’t come to the table to take your order, you can get your own beverage out of the cooler) We drove 40 minutes to check this place out so immediately that was a bit disappointing. However the tacos and chips and guacamole were out of this world, thanks Josh! The Chicago dog is not an authentic Chicago dog, but a Chicago inspired dog (not a Vienna, no neon relish and no hot peppers) Still very good! If the blonde girl behind the bar would have been even the slightest bit kind I would have rated this a 5 star visit. Josh really made up for it, he came by to check on us and told us about a loyalty program. Thank you!

The 4 stars are strictly for food and atmosphere. I didnt give 5 stars only because they do not have coffee as advertised and all other non-alcoholic drinks are just canned soda or bottled water. The food was excellent!!!

First time order through Grub Hub. Ordered a Chicago dog and pressed Italian sandwich. Was kinda disappointed upon first order as my food was wrong and covered in onions that I ask be left off. Called and was offered a refund for my food. The dog was very tasty but hard to eat as I practically had to destroy it on that tiny bun to get all the red onion off, and there was a lot. My husband loved the pressed Italian. Said it was amazing!

Great warm shelf selection. Pretty darn good cold box and draught selection that is well thought out. The hummus and pineapple salsa verde are solid as well as the pressed sandwiches. The BLT was the best of the bunch. Fantastic potato salad! I was in town for 3days and 2 nights playing golf at Streamsong. I ate here every night so that should tell you all you need to know.

Beers are excellent. Rotating taps allow for consistent, new flavors. Have coolers for many of their beers and will chill your bottled/canned beer for you. Bartenders are cordial and quick to fill your order or suggest a beer based on your given profile. Take a seat at the bar as you wait for your pizza, dry clean, or whatever. You wont regret it.Disclaimer: They have a food menu but havent eaten anything from it.

Our favorite place for beer or cider! The food is amazing as well. A great selection of beers and cider with 20 rotating taps. There is also wine available and soft drinks if you want. Josh, the chef, selects the outstanding menu and prepares the food to perfection. Weve enjoyed the wraps, hotdogs and nachos especially. However, everything is wonderful. The entire staff are very knowledgeable and personable. We would highly recommend!!

A great new addition to Lakelands growing craft beer scene. A number of great selections on tap (check their Untappd profile for details) and an impressive assortment of bottles and cans to choose from for take-away or drinking in the store. Theres light food service available, so you dont have to worry about drinking on an empty stomach. Remember to ask them about their rewards program!

I think this is the best place in Lakeland for craft beer, fancy pub food and friendly staff. Its like Cheers but with good beer! They provide a very welcoming atmosphere even if your not a beer snob...just dont ask for a Bud Light. Also, the staff and owners are very knowledgeable! Its fun to learn about the different types of beer.

The phenomenal beer, cider, and mead options here ate impressive. Yet, the service is always lacking. For those passionate about craft beer, the conversation is always available. Yet, the amount of overweight middle aged white men gathering for, well, beer is still a little cliche. GREAT for a quick meeting place with your friends to grab a drink.

I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Lakeland’s Beer Revolution. Obviously, it’s heaven for a craft beer lover and something we really have been missing in Lakeland, the new location is amazing too. The owners, are passionate about their store, customers, and beer. Also, the service is 10/10 every single time we come in. While, as a customer, I don’t always get what I want (missing out on a limited release or not getting a growler of something limited on tap), I always feel like a top priority in the store. The staff always remembers my preferences in beer and they always try to recommend something they think I would like... they are rarely wrong. If you are looking for a relaxing night out, take your favorite card game/board game (or borrow one of theirs) and take some friends to Beer Rev.

The growing success of Beer Rev, the only bottle shop in Lakeland, proves that Lakeland is expanding in trying something different, supporting local business and Beer Rev is doing a good job of educating patrons on styles of craft they may enjoy.Furthermore, they have roughly 20 beers on tap with a little something for everyone so you sip while you shop! If you want to post up and have a couple that works too. They have a kitchen open specific hours with good bar bites.Cheers to this outstanding establishment!

Review №82

Hands down, best craft beer selection in Lakeland. The place is well organized, beers are easy to find, nothing getting in the way between you and the beer. If the beer is available in Polk County, Mike can get it for you. Not to mention, you can enjoy a cold beer while you look for the perfect complement to your dinner, addition to your beer cellar, trade for your West coast connection, gift, etc. Growlers to go. Everything for your craft beer needs!

I would love to give a 5* review but this one calls for a 3*. Excellent beer selection, reasonable prices, inconsistent customer service. I have been enjoying the sour beers and stopped in last week and I got a couple of growlers. The owners wife sold them to me.I stopped back in the following week to purchase more and was told by one of the clerks that a special exception was made for me. Well, that would have been nice to know at the time.My suggestion, put something up that says no growlers for sours. I don’t need to here from the clerk about costs etc, I’m a local businessman. Charge me, I’ll pay it.
