Reviews Summary

Mediterranean Fresh Grill is lauded for its authentic, flavorful Lebanese cuisine and beautiful presentation. Reviewers consistently praise the fresh ingredients, perfectly cooked meats, and delicious hummus. While the food is a clear winner, some minor critiques mention the atmosphere being slightly off-putting due to takeout traffic and the ambiance not fully matching a high-end aspiration.

"In town for work and stopped here for dinner. Great tasty food. Wish I could’ve taken a photo of the rice and the actual skewers for the mixed platter, it came with beef, shrimp and chicken. Enough for me to share with my toddler. The service was quick and the atmosphere was friendly."

"Absolutely amazing feast of fantastic food! We enjoyed the Labanese Grouper and Lamb Shank. Words cannot describe how incredible these dishes were stunning! Fresh Flavorful First Class! The salads were wonderful. The rice was the best I have ever had in my life! We loved the baklava too 🦋 This is the hot spot of restaurants in Florida. Such an honor to have incredible staff Pierce and Angie and the CHEF that created these dishes that not only looked like masterpieces of art, they truly satisfied our appetites! We were astounded by the perfection and ambience. 💙Sensational 💙"

Haven Best of 2023 - Food & Drink

Mediterranean Fresh Grill’s Chef Chadi Mokbel creates beautiful Lebanese dishes that taste even better than they look. “Our menu is inspired by the bold, fresh flavors found in the street foods of the Eastern Mediterranean. Our food contains only high quality, wholesome ingredients like organic fruits and vegetables sourced mainly from local and regional farmers as well as antibiotic-free chicken, lamb, and beef,” notes Med Fresh Grill.

Top 18 Gluten-Free Dinner Spots to Delight in Winter Haven

A very nice house wine selection including Merlot and Cabernet, interesting beers including one from Lebanon and the food was fabulous. Our waiter, Mike, was very helpful and spot on with his descriptions and recommendations. A new appetizer, Eggplant Delight, was adapted to eliminate the little dusting of flour so my gluten free wife could eat it.
