The fries and shakes are a must-try, and the service is always friendly and efficient. The restaurant is clean, welcoming, and makes for an easy, enjoyable meal every time. Burger 21 is hands down one of the best burger spots in Lakeland—I’ll definitely keep coming back! ✨
Thank you Rachel!
I come back here again and again for those sweet potato fries. The best part is that Burger 21 has a bunch of different sauces, one of which is a marshmallow sauce. Yep, that’s right. Marshmallow sauce with sweet potato fries?! It’s not heaven, but close to as good as it’ll get.
Their milkshakes are good too. They have rotating seasonal ones that are fun flavors. And even their salads are decent if you don’t want a burger- the cobb salad will actually fill you up.
I’d say the one bad thing here is they can be pretty slow. Whether it’s busy or not, it can take a long time just to order and then to also get your food. But it’s usually worth the wait.
Sarah did an exceptional job—no surprise there. We’ve had her as our server more than once, and she’s consistently wonderful.
If you have a gluten allergy or are vegan or vegetarian, they offer a wide assortment of options. I would highly recommend them!
I was dining with my three children, including my youngest (age 4) and my daughter who has Down syndrome. My son was mildly restless, making normal child noises — not screaming, not causing a disturbance, and certainly nothing that warranted intervention.
Two men, approximately in their late 50s, chose to sit directly next to us. One of them stared at my daughter in a way that made us uncomfortable. Then, instead of speaking to me as the parent, one of the men addressed my oldest daughter directly, saying:
“Why are you allowing this boy to make noise? We paid to eat here.”
My daughter was stunned. I repeatedly and calmly asked the man to speak to me instead of my child. He dismissed me and told me to “mind my own business,” despite the fact that these were my children.
At that point, I raised my voice to firmly tell him not to speak to my kids. Rather than protecting a family being confronted by strangers, a staff member intervened — not to de-escalate or understand the situation, but to tell me to calm down and threaten to call authorities and remove everyone involved.
Even when the other man stood up and attempted to get in my face in an intimidating manner, no staff member stepped in to protect us or even hear our side. Instead, we were humiliated in front of the entire restaurant and made to look like we were at fault.
As we were leaving, the staff member claimed he had apologized — which is simply untrue. No apology was ever given. The interaction felt performative, meant to reassure other diners rather than acknowledge the harm done.
No adult should ever feel entitled to confront children, especially young girls, and no establishment should tolerate or enable that behavior. The complete lack of empathy, awareness, and basic family-friendly support was shocking.
We left feeling shaken, embarrassed, and unprotected. This is not a place where families — especially those with children with disabilities — are treated with dignity or respect.
