The Joinery

We visited this place today. It was nice and the food was good. My husband got brisket at one of the spots. I got pizza. The food was great. You can sit inside or outside. We sat inside but had a nice view of the lake. We’ll definitely go back in the fall when the weather is cooler so that we can walk around the lake.

Amazing place with great options to eat for the whole family! Great environment! Loved trying food from different locations. The food was amazing, flavorful and great seasoning. I definitely recommend this place if you are in the area.

Great food ✅ dog friendly ✅ outdoor seating ✅We loved our food from four different vendors -all great prices and gorgeous outdoor seating with waterfront views, TikTok recommended it and we are so glad it did, we will be back! A family favorite or cute date spot there is a bar on site!

Oh so many options! How do you decide? Do I want a poke bowl, burritos and queso and chips, pizza? In the end pizza won and Mayday creamery! Can't go wrong. Full bar too! Plenty of parking, inside was pretty warm but not so uncomfortable that you couldn't deal! Super nice views outside of the sprawling lake and lake walk around. Outdoor eating area also but in the heat index 109 yesterday we passed! Definitely check out the place!

I was so hungry I forgot to take pictures of our food. I had the special at Blue Dog Craft Barbecue. Doggie Dog hot 🌭 dog with slaw and onions. No onions for me and fries 😋 so ono (delicious). The slaw made my bread soggy. Next time I'll ask for it on the side. I did put the pickled onion on my hot dog 🌭 good combo. Service was ok. They text you when your order is ready. I didn't hear my text and I was on a long distance call, our backs was facing the counter looking at the wonderful view. So I don't how long our food was sitting there on the counter. We were near by and they didn't let us know our food was ready. Besides that the food was excellent. My fren had sausage, smoked meat, and slaw.

These food markets are becoming more popular. Lots of tables and food booths offering choices between burgers, pizza, sushi, fish and deserts and ice cream. There is also a full bar. I had a very good burger from Super Duper Spot. The fries, however, lacked crispness. The large venue is very clean including the restrooms. There is plenty of free parking. Plenty of outside seating.

There’s around 6 places to choose from for food, Mayday ice cream, and a full bar. I had the ramen which was amazing, and had 2 drinks at the bar, a Paloma and whiskey sour. Everything was delicious and it’s a cool family place for everyone to sit down, catch up, eat and drink in a relaxed environment. Four legged fur babies and welcomed here too!

Update 6/21/25 this place is still awesome. I've had amazing food, good service, great vibes.. I even worked from here. They need coffee, though! ___________________ This whole vibe is insane. Chill, relaxing, great aroma, ice cream, pizza, burgers, sushi (amazing/unique), flowers, and more!! Lots to do and right off the main downtown lake. I look forward to coming back to try more food and bring all my friends!

This came up when I was looking for places to meet half way with a long time friend - it's roughly between Tampa and Orlando. I went around opening and didn't have any issues finding a spot to park. Keep in mind that if you go during a peak meal time, it could be busy and not as easy to find a spot. This houses multiple food businesses under one roof with communal seating. It's a modern, clean space for everyone to enjoy different food without compromising. Definitely would come back here again.

The location, the food vendors, the plentiful seating, the micro-brewery and the service combine to provide a very pleasant experience for singles, those on a date, and families. My wife and I chose The Joinery since Lakeland is the approximate halfway point between Orlando and St Pete where our niece was traveling from to meet us, and because of all the great reviews from fellow Yelpers. Even though we arrived around the time considered a late lunch, the place hummed with the plentiful number of people. We ordered a veggie pizza from Ava (wood-fried Neapolitan-styled), grilled mojo chicken and fried cauliflower tacos from Gallito Taqueria, chicken karaage from Sābu, and the Shrimp Volcano Roll from Zukku. All the food was good and satisfying. Each kiosk used a method of contacting us when the food was ready - a text to our cell phone, a device that buzzes, and a "hey you" as you walk by (true story). We didn't try the other vendors, but given more time and money and a larger stomach, I probably would have. The Joinery selected its food and beverage options well, in my opinion. Misc: As mentioned before, plenty of seating options are available inside and out. Parking in their space was no problem. Events can be booked here. Lastly, a walk around Lake Mirror across the street can be a fun time to spend after the meal at The Joinery.

Another fantastic visit! This is a must-do stop if you're driving even remotely near Lakeland. While I usually go for the delicious sushi spot, my nephew and I chose to get smash burgers, ramen, and ice cream this time. As always, friendly and speedy service, even during lunch on a weekday. Food is quality and brilliant flavors. Good portions for decent prices. Our only gripe this time around is the brown butter chocolate chip cookie ice cream we have, quite literally, been talking about all year had far more cookie than ice cream underneath the surface of the scoop... more like a soggy cookie experience that left us a wee bit disappointed. Otherwise, a perfect stop and we'll be back again to keep trying new spots in the hall.

This was my first time to Lakeland and was told about The Joinery. A friend and I went and it is like a food court with different options such as pizza, Mexican food, Ramen, and Sushi. There is also a bar where you can order beverages. I like this concept because you can go with a group of friends, family, or on a date and each person can get what they life. For me I had the Birria quesadilla from the Mexican spot and it did not disappoint! I have had Birria tacos before but not quesadillas! The beef was flavorful and tender, and the gravy to dip the Birria in was delicious and flavorful as well! My friend got the Birria tacos and said it was the best she had, and I the street corn was just ok. My gimlet beverage was great! Overall a great experience!

Always love hanging out with coworkers or going on dates here. It has something for everyone food wise and the bartenders are always amazing. The atmosphere is great, food is great (yes I've had something from each one lol), and it's all in one spot. Parking can get full at peak times. People bring families and big groups, so if a busy hectic place isn't your vibe, you can sit outside and enjoy the view of the lake. Bathrooms are always clean and stocked and have full doors for complete privacy. They have a fountain for soda so you can actually enjoy your soda, but there's a huge variety of other drinks: alcoholic, nonalcoholic, bubble tea, sparkling water, etc.

Food was good but ambience and orderliness lacked. Think side by side food trucks in a building you get the idea. Everyone lines up for whatever kind of food they like and sits at picnic tables. Not my cup of tea but you get the idea. Very loud put your order in and they text you when it is ready for pick up. We won't go again there are too many restaurants in the area to choose from.

This was my second visit to The Joinery, and this time, I decided to try the burger station. The burger was packed with flavor--just a bit saltier than I prefer, but still really tasty! I love that there are plenty of seating options and a great variety of food and drinks to choose from. I was pleasantly surprised to discover the outdoor patio overlooking the lake--I'll definitely be sitting out there next time to enjoy the view with my meal. The staff was also super friendly and patient while we figured out our order, which made the experience even better. Looking forward to my next visit!

I had a business meeting here and felt like it was a great spot for groups in particular as there are so many options and cuisines available, from Sabu (ramen and boba), pizza, barbecue, burgers/fries, poke bowls, tacos, and ice cream to finish. Plenty of options for vegan and gluten free friends. The staff members were all very friendly and helpful with answering any questions about the menu. I went on a chilly winter day, so I decided to get a bowl of ramen--the veggie miso ramen ($14) as well as the regular milk tea with boba ($6). The ramen noodles were excellent, and the bowl and appearance were pretty unique. Interestingly, there were brussel sprouts which I thought actually tasted quite good, crispy, and not bitter at all, as someone who usually dislikes them. However, the bowl came with kimchi that was still cold (!), like it had just come out of the fridge, and personally, the broth was much too salty to finish and unfortunately had to be thrown out. I also got the milk tea with boba ($6) which was refreshing, and I liked that you can customize the sweetness level. Of note, the milk teas are all iced (a surcharge for no ice) and nondairy (using oat milk), but they also have hot teas if you choose.

I can definitely see the appeal and potential here. I will leave my food review for the actual business we ordered from on their listing. Cute food hall, with decent amount of seating that passes the vibe check. Clean atmosphere and friendly staff.

GO! Everything from ice cream to ramen! Which is why we go. Amazing area, plenty of space and fast friendly service! Did I mention the bar! All the fun of driving to Tampa in a closer area.

We went to an outing and needed a place to satisfy six different appetites, and..boy howdy, did we find it. A bar surrounded by a variety of food offering to keep a small hoard happy. We tried the pizza, taqueria, and the bar. With lemonade from the burger joint. All were top notch. The street corn, nachos and puffy tacos were first rate. Just enough spice to awaken the younger and the corn! Boom! Never had a puffy taco, but for once the shell did not crumble. Savory meat, just the right amount of toppings and happiness! The pizza was a New York style, with the usual thin layer of sauce, chewy fresh crust, and just th right amount of cheese. Fold and chomp. The need offerings were well crafted, with no exotics and a great malty or hoppy foundation. The service was a bit slow and disorganized, but the wait was in a very pleasant and popping environment. Kids were everywhere. This place has layers and layers of ambiance. Over all, a great find for us and we highly recommend this if you have out of state guests in Orlando to entertain. A+

Loved the outdoor seating and the view of the water for lunch this afternoon. My wife and I were in the area and were starving so she came across this place. We figured it gave us options to decide what we wanted when we got here. There's pretty much one of each cuisine, pizza, ramen, sushi, burgers, and southern fixins. There's also a full bar to wash it all down with. This Food Hall thing is a great concept, I just think they just need to lower prices, but that's just me.

The food here is amazing. I had the tacos, sushi, and shred some ramen. Al portions are great! I had the German Pils at the bar, and it wasn't too crowded for a Sunday, I was surprised. Will have to stop by again and try some of the other restaurants as well. Great place for when you have a lot of people that don't all like the same food.

Food is good, though sometimes the pizza gets burnt but they will give you another if you ask. It's nice there are lots of options for everyone and dessert. Of course my girls favorite is the ice cream. :) There aren't tons of tables when there are a lot of people but the ambiance is good overall.

Always LOVE stopping by here for a drink or just to hang out! We have tried the Seltzers and they are pretty tasty along with a few of the food vendors (Ramen, Mexican. Pizza). All were great, but I'd say all We're a little pricey for what you get. It's small inside so when it's bush be prepared to sand! Love the outdoor area!

I came here to have lunch with my sister and this place was so cute! It's the perfect place to come if everyone wants something different. I decided to get a chicken quesadilla with chips and queso. Let me tell you this was super yummy. Great flavor and a good amount but I could've gotten another order. My sister went with the personal Hawaiian pizza and she loved it. This is right by a lake and it was so nice after we ate we went around the lake. It is pet friendly! So bring them along.

As someone who works close to armature, I'm always hesitant to try places similar to it. I'm glad I did for the joinery! Nestled close to DT Lakeland is this gem. Delicious food and cocktail bar. Loved the vibes. It was like armature but if you were to put it up north. Very quaint. We got food from the ramen place and it is very craveable! I'd make the trip just to go there. Cocktail bar was great too. Lovely selection of unique wines. Yum! Can't wait for our next trip to Lakeland!

Perfect for variety! Everyone at my table got something different. Pizza, taco, sushi, and BBQ! Plus a nice choice of local beers, wine, and full service cocktail bar for whatever you want!

Great spot!!! Not too many choices to be overwhelming but enough that you can switch it up over multiple visits and there is definitely something for everyone. There was so much that we wanted to try and we ended up visiting a few spots and everything was so good. Despite the seating area being very full, we were able to find somewhere to sit and none of the waits were long for our food. The seating area is so cute and it is a great hangout spot. Will definitely return!

Great food hall with a variety of food options. Blue Dog has great Barbecue, Zukku has great Asia cuisine options, and there is also many more options. There is an open bar inside for any cocktail you desire.

Went here since it was a convenient meeting spot to see a friend. The atmosphere is nice and there's a good amount of food options. However, I ordered from the sushi place and it took foreverrrrr to get my order. Must have been short staffed or something but I had ordered probably only 30 minutes after they opened and only one person was in front of me in line. Food was alright. My friends got the Mexican food and said it was very good and it came out quick. My friend and I got there right when they opened so didn't have trouble finding a spot to park but I'm sure on busy busy days it would be hard to find a spot.

An awesome place to grab food. My family can never agree on a type of cuisine to eat. That's why I was so excited when I saw this place on Yelp. The parking lot is pretty big so we didn't have trouble finding a parking spot and there's tons of seating so we easily found a table as well. We were here at prime eating time, 12:30 p.m. on a Saturday, so I think it is probably easier to get a table/parking every other time. They have a BBQ place, Ramen, Poke, Pizza, Ice Cream, etc. here, which is fantastic. It really runs the gamut. There's even a bar! The place is well lit, there's outside eating areas and it faces a lake for pretty scenery. You can order at multiple places and they will text you when your food is ready, it is super convenient. I would highly recommend checking out this place.

A great selection of restaurants for dine in or take out. With plenty of seating inside and out, this modern food hall that is open for lunch and dinner faces Lake Mirror in downtown Lakeland. There's a handful of events taking place throughout each month, ample parking, and super clean inside.

Great concept but the food was very mediocre. I ordered from Zukku Sushi and debated on one of the warm bowls but the employee encouraged the sushi burrito. In reality, it's literally a regular sushi roll, just not cut up lol. I ordered the Godzilla one but don't do mayo so I subbed Ahi + sriracha and it was very plain. It was filling but I would have preferred something else. My husband ordered a chicken sandwich from the Super Duper Spot and added sweet potato crinkle fries which were super undercooked. He didn't want to send them back so we ended up taking them home because my daughter wouldn't eat them. We stopped by the bar so he could get a beer and they did have a nice selection of local beers and the bartender was very friendly. Before we left, I wanted to check out Mayday to see if they had anything that was non-dairy, which they did. There was an Oreo flavor, a sorbet and a coffee flavor. I got a kids scoop of the Oreo flavor for my daughter and she seemed to like it but I wasn't a fan. Overall great concept but I think the vendors should definitely improve. Maybe we made poor choices today, idk, it's worth a try because it's a nice location and it seems to be pretty busy. We have a few 'food halls' down south (out east) and they seem to do well but the vendors never last. I think a lot of them try to overcharge and it just isn't good for longevity.

I have only been once so far, but I love the idea of having a place with many different options in one building, like a mall food court but nicer! The burger place we went to was kind of pricey, but I have not tried the other places yet. The bathrooms were a bit sketchy looking (felt like the kind of bathroom with hidden cameras), but worked fine enough.

We stopped in on our way from Jacksonville to Tampa. There are multiple eateries and a bar all in one place! We walked around to see what was being offered. We settled on Sabu. It offered Japanese street food. I ordered the 3 bao and a traditional milk tea boba. All were delicious! My husband got Karange which was also delicious. My husband ordered a draft beer from the bar. Its a great concept and all of the food we saw coming out of the other vendors looked mouthwatering!

Took a day trip to Lakeland to cowork with some of my colleagues and we decided to meet up at The Joinery. This is a pretty cool spot to grab a bite, some drinks, and to just hang with friends. Bonus points for happy super fast WiFi! Inside you'll find a little something for everyone with multiple food stalls, a full bar, and even a flower shop called Bloom Shakalaka (love the name lol). There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and parking was a breeze with their own dedicated lot. We got there early in the day though, so I imagine the lot can get pretty full during peak hours and events. We did a quick loop to scope out all the different offerings from the various businesses before deciding what to eat for lunch. They have plenty of options to choose from including craft barbecue, pizza, poke bowls, boba, tacos, ice cream, ramen, and burgers. The neapolitan wood-fired pizza from AVA was sounding super good that day, so I went with their bianca pizza (mozzarella, ricotta, sweet peppers, pepperoni, and fermented chili). It hit THE spot! My coworker also got their chicken bacon ranch pizza and really enjoyed hers as well. One thing that is lacking at The Joinery (to our surprise) is a coffee bar. There aren't really any good coffee options that we saw, so we ended up walking down the street a few blocks to another coffee shop for an afternoon pick-me-up. But overall, The Joinery is definitely a great Lakeland gem and a go-to spot whenever I'm in the area.

Came here with friends and I liked the layout of the Venue ... it really reminded me of Armature Works in Tampa, similar concept. Place can get busy... food and drinks were really good. Highly recommended

Ordered dinner from Blue Dog craft barbecue. I had the 3 rib dinner, it included a side and a soda, the husband had the 5 wings, also included a side and drink. It was delicious. The ribs were perfectly cooked and tender as well as delicious! The wings were just amazing!! It's a must try. Then of course had to have dessert at Mayday ice cream. Had the mint monster.....yummy

Let's start with the ambiance - wide open space, a solid amount of seating, cool vibe overall. This spot is kid friendly/family friendly for sure but also seemed to be a spot for singles and couples as well as group gatherings. It's too hot for us, but the outside seating looked wonderful for a cooler day My wife had an amber ale - her words, "it's drinkable but nothing stands out for me. I wouldn't order it again" I had an espresso martini, which was really nice - a little on the sweeter end, and fair warning, the wafer is strawberry!!! I was not prepared for that We ordered birria tacos and chips with salsa and guac. This was a 2/5 star for us. The Tacos had some really nice flavor and texture but the shell was totally disintegrated, and the tacos were dripping oil. The chips were good - nice crunch and seasoning. The salsa had too much lime juice making it very sour, and the guac was flavorless. We also tried some bbq. 4/5 for us here. The Turkey was great - super nice smoke and texture, and the brisket was a home run! We're not from here, so we likely won't return. However, this was a cool spot to break up the day.

Great place to house many restaurants in the area. The Joinery is the local brewery serve the building and beer. Glad they rent out the place and use it for many restaurants in it. The facility include drink stations, restroom, seating area for in door and outdoor, and more. They have a services group cleaning, collecting the tray, drink stations, bathrooms cleaning. This is really good because they clean it often for the next group people using the table. Facility is very comfortable. AC section and outdoor are very pleasant. The vendor I like include Sabu and Blue Dog Craft BBQ.

This place reminds me exactly of Armature works in Tampa but the environment is slightly different it's definitely worth a stop! We enjoyed lunch here by eating at a variety of spots like Ato, AVA, Sabu, and super burger spot. No bad eats here the Neapolitan pizza from Ava was delicious the Sabu ramen and watermelon refresher was the best thing we ate! the Ato poke bowl was so good the tuna is tender and the sauce is so good. Finally the super burger spot had a kids grilled cheese that my son enjoyed.

The Joinery is a giant building with food halls and open seating. There is pizza, ramen, ice cream, sandwiches and beverages. It is clean and family friendly. It is across from Lake Mirror. The bathrooms are nice. There is also a photo opp when you enter the building. Parking is free across the street.

Really cute space filled with food and drink vendors. There's something for everyone from Japanese to poke bowls to BBQ and tacos. It was packed when we went on Saturday evening but there's extra seating outside. The line for the middle bar can be long but they have a great cocktail and beer list. Food does take a bit of time to come out even at the poke bowl vendor. I opted for Sabu Ramen and went with their tonkotsu ramen with a side of miso cucumbers. The broth for the ramen was declious and flavorful. The noodles were cooked well. Came with two big pieces of pork belly with a nice char on it, tender too. The egg was still runny in the middle which is great. The cucumbers with miso dressing was refreshing and had a nice savory kick to it. Great place to grab a bite and catch up with friends.

The prices are way higher than most competitors and the quality has gone down. A single taco is $8 plus tax and the poke bowls must use rice that is old or was frozen because it doesn't have normal rice texture.

What a beautiful afternoon at the Joinery, Lake Land Florida . It was a wonderful experience to shop around at the Joinery, there are few small restaurants , winery, beer and wine bar , ice cream shop and flower shop. We chose the Japanese street food Ramen noodles soup and BBQ place, the ramens is a little salty and BBQ is little expensive; however the lake view at the Joinery make this dinning experience well worth, we feel relax to sit in front of the lake at Downtown Lakeland and just enjoy the sunset and each other! Highly recommend you to try The Joinery when you visit Lakeland Florida !

Lovely spot for lunch with coworkers or a date night with someone special. Many options for anyone, even us vegans! Only wish they had more parking.

Great good. Awesome atmosphere. A little pricier than I expected but definitely worth the visit.

I love The Joinery. What a great concept. This is exactly my kind of place. A food hall with market stalls and all sorts of things to look at and try/buy. It's warm yet industrial, cozy yet modern. People are friendly. Honestly, I just wanna hang out here. This is a great spot to hit up with friends as you can each get whatever you've got a hankering for and reunite on the patio together outside. The view of Lake Mirror gives it an overall great vibe. There is plenty of indoor seating, a back patio, a front patio and even a few outdoor comfy couches. Recos: - Brisket, tallow fries & kale caesar @ Blue Dog BBQ - Poke bowl @ ATO - Chicken karaage & Thai boba tea @ SĀBU - 6 mini scoop ice cream flight @ Mayday (or get a pint to go) Did I mention they also have a cute flower shop selling cute flower shop things? Overall this place is a big win for me. Excellent community atmosphere and I can't wait to go back for more ice cream, aka Pistachio Moon, Queen Salted Caramel & Cloud 9. Seriously, drooling.

The smash burgers were to die for and the icecream was a nice top off. I love places that are accommodating for dogs, we had a great time overall. I will look forward to an opportunity to go back!

Everything about this place is enjoyable, great food choices and wonderful, relaxing atmosphere, will be there often this summer.

Overall, I was happy with The Joinery. Not blown away, but pleased. It is a food hall with a number of options. BBQ, Asian Street Food, ice cream, sushi, Mexican, burger place, and a full bar. The bar was ok. I had 3 drinks while there (we sat around and played games for a few hours), and my wife had a couple too. Of them, most were good, not great. The Tikka Chance on Me though was awesome! Scotch and coconut curry cream, sounds crazy but it was delicious. Service at the bar was a little on the slow side, and not the most personable. Nice enough, nothing overly rude, just not welcoming. The Ba Boulvardier was ok, the espresso martini was too sweet. It did look exactly like the picture though, so big ups to that. I ate the Tonkatsu ramen and it was excellent. Pork belly was very tender, flavor of the broth was excellent, egg was jammy, and was made quickly. All positives here. My wife ordered the Elote (street corn). I enjoyed it, but it is spicy! It was too spicy for the wife. It had good flavor, but definitely more heat and than typical for street corn, and it was a building heat. If you like spicy, don't sleep on it! We also tried the dip trio from the Mexican place, and it was fine. Nothing special, nothing bad. Our friends ordered the brisket from the BBQ place, so I didn't try it, but they raved about it. They had a side of fried okra that I tried some of and it was excellent. The biggest benefit here was the atmosphere. Cool vibes, kinda industrial chic, decent amount of tables inside, and lots more outside. Like I said, we hung out for a while. If you have friends in Tampa and you're in Orlando, I would recommend The Joinery as a good spot to meet in the middle, have a couple drinks and some food and just chill. I'll probably be back for that very reason.

What an incredible space! Love the locally owned market concept. So many food choices housed inside a beautiful building.

So many great food options, and amaaazing drinks @ the bar. Definitely my go to spot fir food, drinks, and social hour.

Grown up cafeteria? Sign me up! Our usual dinner spot was closed so we decided to stop by The Joinery and oh my goodness, how have I not been here sooner? First of all, the interior decor is a VIBE. It's industrial, rustic, and just the right amount of modern comfort. I was obsessed. I think I took a million and one photos #sorrynotsorry Enough with the atmosphere though. The food is the prize piece of this joint. You have BBQ, Ramen, Ice Cream, Burgers, Poke, and more. Plus, a full bar with creative cocktails and loads of craft beer.....my fave The bartender was a gem. She was super sweet and ultra-attentive. I already knew what I wanted before I sat down so there wasn't too much back and forth. My boyfriend and I shared a sushi burrito from Ato. It. Was. DELISHHHHH. There was plenty of fillings and it wasn't just loaded up with rice. Oh, and it may have contained the largest piece of asparagus I've ever seen. ‍ We also got the Crab Rangoon (because how can you pass that up) and you could tell it wasn't just frozen junk. They served it with a BOMB sauce. Sweet, spicy, and addictive. I could have drank it out of the ramekin...but I controlled myself! There wS nothing going on the night we went but they have trivia and bingo nights along with other fun stuff you can do while you sip and nibble. For those who WFH and want to get out, there are plenty of outlets available and cozy nooks to settle down in.

Came here today while working in Lakeland. We love stopping in at the Joinery for a beer or some good eats. Today we grabbed a beer and enjoyed meeting a new Yelper sitting next to us at the bar. This place has a hipster vibe which is both industrial design and relaxed spaces to hang out and meet other great people or get some work done on your laptop. There are several eateries within this property and certainly something for everyone. The service here is always great and on this day our beer was delicious.

Really cool food hall in Lakeland! Coming from Tampa, I can compare it to Armature Works. It's smaller, but super modern and clean! I recognized a few of the concepts from Armature and Sparkman Wharf. The music was a bit loud for someone who went there to work, but they had free open wifi which was great. I think the only miss here is there's no coffee spot! There is a place with boba and some matcha options, but not an actual coffee bar, which surprised me. The food didn't take too long right around 12pm, and I liked the variety of food concepts. It never got overbearingly busy either. I would definitely come back!

Met up with an old friend from Orlando here while I was in Tampa. Had a great order of birria tacos and a local beer. Got my food quickly and we enjoyed sitting out on the patio overlooking the lake.

I LOVE places like this, especially when they feature local artists/shops/foods! The Joinery is somewhere between a food hall and a farmers market - big enough to have plenty of options but small enough not to be as crowded as places like this in larger cities (reminiscent of armature works in Tampa). Comfy/cozy places throughout to grab a drink or snack, and hang out with friends/enjoy a meal/just sit outside and watch the passersby at the lake. Five stars because nothing I had was short of excellent! I started with a Thai tea (not pictured because I drank it too fast), then onto a sushi burrito (crab, cream cheese, not sure what all else but DELICIOUS), and finally ended with some honey ice cream with sprinkles (heaven). The benches outside have comfy, floofy cushions. There's music on over the speakers to keep a good positive vibe. And there are pups on the patio, a bar inside, and good smells all around. Loved it!
