"I rarely make reviews, but I felt the need to review the McDonalds on 64/Canada in Lakeland. Most fast food restaurants, especially on doordash make quite a bit of mistakes, especially on special requests. I have placed multiple orders at this location, mainly breakfast orders and they never make a mistake. Most of my orders for breakfast have special requests such as no egg, extra butter, less ice, etc etc. Not only do they fulfill my order properly, but they bag items well, they make sure to double check for all items, special requests and to make sure all napkins, extra straws, condiments are included (even giving the extra butter I request even though when there is a limit. When I hit the drive thru, instead of doordashing, the employees are not only courteous but super friendly! I wish more restaurants in the area would take note, even sit down higher dollar establishments."
"All my special requests were done. Everything was very fresh and very good. The fries were cooked just right. My hot and spicy's were so good, small but good. Unsweet tea is always good. Love those hot and spicys. Only problem was no napkins and no straw. They did put ketchup in the bag. "

"Burger has REAL meat. Packer with all the fixings' I asked for. The fry order is MASSIVE! I just love American Deli. Definately will be ordering from here again! :))"
"I've only ordered through a food delivery company(Grubhub) once. My food arrived very late & it wasn't even my order. I got chili cheese fries, which I would never order or eat & a nasty sandwich & both were cold! I stopped the driver & he rushed off saying to contact grubhub. The second attempt with Uber eats didn't end well either. This was the last attempt & I was amazed at how the food was still hot & the seasoned fries,which came with my 10 piece wing combo, were also hot & still crispy! I had to stop myself to save some for later. I was honestly expecting droopy fries being in the styrofoam box but I was pleasantly surprised & they tasted so yummy! The classic wings had plenty of meat(drums) & bbq sauce. I haven't eaten the garden salad yet, but it looks fresh with lots of color. I will definitely order from American Deli again. The driver was very pleasant & friendly, thanking me & smiling as she left. My name & fruit punch was also written on my cup, which was a plus, but I also had plenty of dressing, napkins, dip & utensils!"

"Me and my husband can't ever go wrong with the Sirloin Steak Tips & Eggs! Absolute best and they always cook it to the temp we want. If you are looking for a patty melt definitely try the Pepper Jack Patty Melt. Their cheese goes so well. And if the patty is medium rare you can taste the tenderness and juiciness of the meat! It's a win win either way it goes. "

"I'm comparing this Howard's to the Howard's much closer to me that we usually use on Summer Ave at Waring. The Howard's I received on this order left off the egg I ordered on the turkey croissant & instead put processed cheese on it, which I didn't order. (I wasn't notified that any substitutions had to be made.) Also, there was only about 1/3 of the turkey & the sandwich hadn't been warmed like is done at the Summer Ave store. The eclairs were ok, but dryer than the Summer Ave store's. If I had realized the Summer Ave store wasn't participating in DD, I wouldn't have chosen Howard's. The Dasher was prompt, extremely friendly & smiling, so no problems there."

"This place has spectacular quesadillas. The chicken club is my favorite, with the chicken fajita a close second. That being said, with one exception i have never been disappointed trying a new option. The portions are big, you get chips with them, and the chipotle ranch is delicious. The chicken is juicy, the southwestern sauce is just what it should be, and the cheese they use is a personal favorite of mine. You just can't go wrong with the quesadillas. I also love the tater tot bowl, smothered with cheese and southwest sauce and a runny egg. Absolute perfection. The cheesy corn is great too! absolutely scandalous in its gooey magnificence. The only negative I can say is that one time i had a piece of really chewy steak in the steak quesadilla, but i am not dinging anything on the rating for that (it happens). Order from this place, you can't go wrong!"
