Reececliff Family Diner - Lakeland

The food at Reececliff is consistently excellent! Our waitress was quick and incredibly friendly. I ordered the Patty Melt with onion rings, and I was pleasantly surprised by the generous portion of onion rings. They were slightly crispy and extra thick! Absolutely delicious! The marble roast was perfectly cooked, and the Patty Melt included grilled onions. It was fabulous!

Absolutely fantastic local home cooking at its best! I visited with friends, and we all enjoyed three perfectly prepared meals. The country roasted steak is my weakness; it was cooked to perfection and made a lasting impression. I can't praise the quality of the meat enough—truly exceptional! The turkey, combined with mashed potatoes, was also delightful, featuring homemade gravy and stuffing. It's easy to see why this restaurant has stood the test of time. Oh, and be sure to try the sweet potato cake—it's the best I've ever had!

This restaurant has been a staple in the area for quite some time, and everything is homemade! I tried the original Reese Cliffs Hamburger with all the toppings, and it was delicious. My wife ordered the chopped sirloin steak, which came with green mashed potatoes and roasted okra, all of which were fresh from the kitchen. We were too full for dessert, so we took a couple of slices of their homemade apple cake to go. They even make their own batter for the onion rings, which I had alongside my burger; they were so good that they could be a meal on their own. Although we couldn't indulge in dessert right away, we are looking forward to enjoying the apple cake à la mode tonight at home! The restaurant has ample parking, and the staff was very friendly and professional. If you haven't been here before, now is the perfect time to experience the charming atmosphere and delicious flavors this place has to offer.

I always liked to go to this restaurant with my family. We were regular customers and always enjoyed the good food and friendly atmosphere. In recent years, the quality of customer service has declined significantly. In the past, I have tried several times to pass an order for pick-up, people either refuse to answer the phone to various waiters, because they do not want to order. Today I called an order, and the person who answered tried to say they couldn't hear me and tried to hang on me. Then they told me to wait a minute that turned into more than 5 minutes. The telephone receiver was left on the counter, so here you have a background conversation, the discussion about who wanted to take the call (no, who wanted to respond in particular). I hung the phone. Honestly, I had this rude behavior that has been fed lately or picking up an order. Not particularly friendly and treated like another number on a list of customers. It is a shame that a restaurant to which my family loved to go no longer offers quality service and my family and I will not go here anymore, but I appreciate the dear memories.

A friend and I dined here today 10/19/2021 for lunch. I was very impressed with the meal I ordered. I ordered the Tuesday Special Country Fried Chicken smothered in White Pepper Gravy, served with three sides and fresh baked bread. I chose Mashed Potatoes with White Pepper Gravy, Green Beans, Onion Rings and a Corn Bread Muffin. The food was absolutely outstanding, one of a kind. The meal had a Gourmet style, quality and taste. The Onion Rings were possibly the best I have ever had, the batter had a Waffle Like Flavor. The Sweet Iced Tea was perfect and the Chocolate Cream Pie with Whipped Cream for dessert was very delicious. Lee our waitress was very welcoming, friendly and informative. Lee informed us of all the flavors of Pie offered, without reading the choices, she had them memorized. She asked us how our food was, within one minute of serving us and constantly kept our Sweet Iced Tea's replenished. A very nice Vintage, one of a kind restaurant. Highly Recommend! We will return.
