    This IS the wing place to visit in Lakeland! All you can eat wings and so many flavors. Sweet chili, mojito lime, and bacon bourbon.

    We have always loved End Zone. After moving out of state, every time we come back to visit we make sure we come to End Zone because of how much we love it. We’ve raved about it to friends and family also! HOWEVER, tonight was a MAJOR disappointment. I’ve always gotten the mango habanero boneless and they looked NOTHING like they ever have before. My husband gets BBQ and he got nothing but what looked like dry scraps. Sure we ordered at 9 but I don’t think that is ANY reason to get completely subpar food! Especially since we KNOW what End Zone is actually capable of (good food that we’ve raved about in the past!). We aren’t ready to give up on one of our go-to places but will if this is what they put out nowadays….

    My family goes here all the time. Great service, lovely waitresses. Great food and daily specials. Still looks great inside, would recommend they get new booths/tables but that's just my opinion.

    Eh, it was okay. If you’ve ever been to a Beef O’Bradys, it’s pretty much like that. Sports on many TVs. They do not use coasters so tables leave big nasty water rings. Food was mediocre. I couldn’t finish my burger. Fried pickles were not standards of a northern. Fries were good though. They have an all you can eat, and certain specials for each day. Went on a Sunday at 2pm. Not super busy. In a strip mall. Bathrooms horrendously dirty, slippery, broken, small, etc. Waitress was friendly. Attentiveness wasn’t the worst I’ve had nor the best.

    I've eaten here before and the food and service were good. However after this latest visit, I recognize the manager is rude and has no idea what customer service is... I will stop there before anger takes over and just say my opinion is don't bother. If you do decide to chance it, have sympathy for the wait-staff having to work in such a hostile environment.

    We indulged in pancakes and sausage, husband ordered meat lovers omlette with potatoes. Food and service were great, was a bit sticker shocked when we got the bill. $14+ for 3 pancakes and sausage links was a bit overkill, in my opinion.

    Aways a go to restaurant. Close to home and the food is aways decent. We sat outside this trip cuz there was a sport game going on. Really loud during the games. It's a sport game place to that is why it was loud.

    This is the best breakfast spot ever!!! I haven’t came for lunch or dinner yet but I come here 3 times a week. The workers are all friendly , the food is amazing & cheap. Can’t beat it!! Get the special for less than $5.00

    We have eaten here for many years, we have always gotten good food and kind and patient wait staff. We have tried breakfast, lunch, and dinner here. All have been good they have some great deal and fun event nights. We particularly enjoys their burgers, wings, chicken tenders, and regular fries. Keep up the good work!

    First off the food does taste good. I used to go there for the all you can eat, which you pay a premium for. I have since boycotted this place as have alot of my friends due to the owners playing games with serving food if you buy all you can eat. First two plates it comes in 5 minutes, next one 20 minutes and gets worse after that. They will say sorry it's busier. Which is an obvious lie when your in there. Don't order all you can eat they will greatly cheat you.

    The waitress was very sweet. We waited almost an hour for our food, we ordered simple fair. . They were not busy, and our order was eggs, toast and bacon. Very disappointed. This is the second time we have had this experience. I give second chances. The food was good, and like I said, the waitress was super sweet. If there is any room for improvement, hire more kitchen staff. Place used to be super fast and fun before. I'll give one more chance, eventually.

    This is a nice place to go to when you want a home town feel. We always come when they have specials though. They do all you can eat chicken wings and AYCE mix and match on certain days. The chicken wings are massive and sometimes too juicy actually so maybe ask for them to be cooked longer. However, the sauces are tasty. Fried shrimp are good. Peel and eat are a little too dirty though (I wouldn't recommend). The portions of the food are big so come hungry. The service fluctuates but all the employees are friendly. Also, don't be surprised but they use their phones to put in orders, they're not texting while you're talking (well, hopefully)

    I give this place 5 stars because the food was amazing and the staff was friendly. Yes I waited a while on my drink and an uncomfortable amount of time waiting on a fork. But the food was so amazing and the server was so sweet it was fine. I had dinner with my family and we ordered wings to share and then I personally got a taco salad. My taco salad was perfect and the wings were incredible. Maybe close to the best I have ever had. I did the house sauce as suggested by a local who sent me in this restaurant’s direction. I was thankful for that because even my son who doesn’t normally like wings, loved the sweet flavor of the mild wings. I later ordered 150 wings to go for the guys who helped me move into my new house and again they nailed it and everyone was happy. This is a local hot spot so you may find yourself waiting to be seated but I say it’s worth the wait.

    I've been going here for years always enjoyed the food and staff. But the last 3 times had to send the burger back for being over cooked. So last week I figured id take a chance and go for wing night - well that was a bad decision: wings were so dry small and freezer burnt, and i wasnt sure if they were chicken or pigeon..... I hoped that round two would improve, well that was only a tad better. And server was really slow (they weren't all that busy...) So im assuming management must have changed - now I'm at another place. I sure hope for their sake they get it together soon.

    Just no. For $50, we'll go elsewhere. Baked fench oinion soup n chilli were good. Sirloin was burnt, potatoes were instant, nachos were all chips hardly any cheese, asked but never received a dinner roll. I don't know how they stay in business.

    Good food quick service, reasonable prices

    Was treated like family while I was in there. I was in there for a take out order. I would recommend the End Zone Family Restaurant to everyone I talk to or those that I know. Everyone that reads this should go see the ladies at the End Zone especially my favorite, Emily F.

    Had breakfast there this morning. They cut corners on everything. The home fryes are frozen premade, the country fried steak was a premade frozen. The eggs seemed like they been sitting under a heat lamp for an hour. The butter on the tost would not melt because it was fake butter. This place is nasty and they are expensive. Save your money.

    Sadly was disappointed in the food quality. Restaurant was clean and service was great, but the food was terrible. Club sandwich lunch meat was of low quality especially the Turkey which was a pressed meat and almost every mouthful I was picking out gristle (ham an Turkey) all 4 quarters. (It looked pretty but that doesn't matter if the lunch meat is rubber) Took home slider burger and it literally was a small McDonald's-like single thin patty cut into 4; one for each slider burger. The thin piece of burger in each one was honestly smaller than the pickle slice. Shame on you for charging $13+ for this meal. So very very disappointing, cannot imagine wanting to go back and pay for this poor quality of food. Sorry
