Very disappointed in our first visit to Mojo's in Lakeland. The craft cocktails were great at the bar and it is in a cool older federal building with high ceilings. But the dinner was not good. We ordered smoked chicken appetizers and our entrees--my brisket and my hubby's three meat--brisket, pork, and sausage with sides. We got the appetizers which were good, but literally ten seconds later our meals showed up. Neither our server or the food deliverer cared at all about the food timing or the now rushed meal. The brisket was tough and not hot, the sausage greasy and the pork was very fatty. Would not recommend Mojo's. Look for other places to spend your money in downtown Lakeland.

Brisket was disappointing for a BBQ joint and was universally not liked by the table. Not a ton of flavor and not tender like a brisket should be. Turkey and pulled pork was very good though. Shrimp and grits was also a hit with the person who ordered it. Overall enjoyable dinner just some misses, but BBQ is hard to be consistent at.

I was very disappointed this time. Cornbread has been replaced with toast. Service was great, but food was not what it used to be to be.

We are regulars at Mojo’s Kitchen in Jacksonville and decided to try the local Mojo’s when visiting friends in Lakeland. We found all of our favorites and enjoyed. The red sangria was the bomb!

This is a great place for some delicious BBQ and bourbon! They have a great selection of bourbon, and other whiskeys, and some excellent choices for BBQ. WE had the burnt ends for an appetizer, which we highly recommend, and I had the two meat platter with turkey and brisket, both were tender and moist. My wife has the Brunswick stew which she was the best she had in a long time and the smoked chicken wings, which were very good.

Met friends for lunch. None of us had dined at this restaurant. First impression was I wanted to just relax in the ambience. Our server was kind and knowledgeable (I forgot her name). She shared the history of the building. The drink menu offered up a refreshing mix of cocktails. Our food came out quickly and was prepared perfectly. The only negative, the salad with all the meat could feed a family of 6!!! Luckily our friend wanted leftovers We will return again

Thank you so much Angela! We love hearing about great first time experiences! We agree...the BBQ Salad is huge!
