America's Best Cuban Sandwich Lakeland

Lee was the star of my experience at this restaurant. I had recently moved up to the Northside back in August and I always do laundry next door and I always walk by the restaurant so today I finally had the chance to experience it. Some of the previous reviews are very harsh about the interior. Yes it is dated but that is what adds to the experience. It made me feel at home. Lee talked with me the entire time she was making my food and was a breath of fresh air. She has been running the business on her own for a very long time. She's been at this location for 25 years and for the last 3 she's been working there alone. So to those who are complaining about the upkeep and how things are dusty and what not, you have to understand that she is the soul to the business and it's only employee. She does what she can to keep the doors open. What she needs is the support of locals and for us to show love. The food was great and the menu has me excited to see what's next. All bigger chain restaurants around her are taking over her clientele and I understand how harsh that is as a small business owner. I give her food a 10/10 because it gave me nostalgia while I was eating and her service a 10/10 for being so hospitable and kind. The restaurant could use some love but it's nothing that we the people can't handle. I will be recommending everyone I know to eat a Lee's restaurant and I encourage all the prior reviewer to give her a second chance and understand her position. If you were in the same shoes as her your eyes would be wide open. Thank you so much Lee I greatly appreciate the experience you gave me and I will be looking forward to seeing you soon. P.s. I have included pictures of the food I got and the updated menu they have available.

Awesome Food, Prices and Service
