Review The Poor Porker - Lakeland

Great live music heard throughout the place. Decoration has its variety of scenes for all likes. Great service, which is the motor of all businesses. Things for kids to entertain with and even though I didn’t try the food, my friends did and told me it was really tasty!!!!

Super adorable spot with really fresh beignets. They have a few flavors, but the classic powdered sugar always win in my book. Made to order and super delicious!

Hands down the best spot around for Awesome beignets and amazing coffee. They also have awesome burgers and fries fried cheese pickles but that's at Adler's which is the poor porker neighbor. And they even have a really cool looking bar area. The whole atmosphere is just awesome relaxing and cozy and the food and prices are just as great. Me and my husband will definitely be coming back here five stars! By the way if you don't know what a beignet is it's pretty much taking a funnel cake and a donut and then having a baby it's amazing!

Relaxing, fun environment. Food was very good; my wife and I got a burger and wings from one food truck, then later got beignets, coffee, and lemonade from the other food truck. It was a very calm, family friendly atmosphere. We came down here on a whim on a Friday night and ended up having such an enjoyable time. Definitely worth a visit!

I love the vibe of this place! Very cute and boho, fun to just sit and hang out. I enjoyed their coffee and beignets a lot. They also have a taco truck but I haven’t tried. I’m only not giving 5 stars because the hours are so limited and weird that you really have to plan when to come here. Would highly recommend though!

Fun and trendy. Just a great place to come and relax and hang out. If you got people in from out of town this is certainly a nice stop. Decently stocked wine and liquor for the lady evenings. Typically some great music too. Probably 4.5 Stars overall

The Poor Porker is a great family fun atmosphere! You can join a band to perform karaoke or listen to a live band play. The staff is amazingly friendly and the food was amazing! 😍 Great place to chill on the weekend.

This place was just a random stop for me. With a name like the poor porker, I was expecting something meaty and Hardy and something that oinked. But to my surprise this place makes beignets. I had the traditional and their poor porker which had slivers of gristle and bacon on it. At one point I debated if they sprinkled bacon bits on it because the amount of bacon on the beignet was very unsatisfactory. The traditional beignet was what I expected a sugary piece of bread but overall the venue is clean good vibed and a great place to take family and friends. I am a cactus lover at heart so their cactus decor was out of this world if it wasn't for the Flora and the decor I probably would have ranked this establishment a little different. Also, their selection of beer is very 1994 in the wide variety of craft beer that is in circulation right now you would think a hip place like this would have more assortments and more variety than your standard rolling Rock and Budweiser. Overall my gf and I had a nice outing here I would recommend it for anyone wanting to fulfill a sweet tooth and look at some pretty cactus

Great gathering place with interesting indoor/outdoor conversation spaces. Freshly made beignets and tacos. I enjoy the eclectic variety of live entertainment.

Excellent cheeseburger and homemade fries delicious! Lemonade from the other food truck and desert. My husband enjoyed a cold beer and we listened to a DJ’s music. Saturday’s they have local vendors which is nice. Atmosphere is very community like and welcoming. Nice place to hang out and take the family or just yourself for a bite. Very affordable It would be nice to have live music. Barbecue food truck, seafood food truck would be a nice addition. And ice cream spot for the kids! Street corn or grilled. Great place and nice people!

I live in Orlando but me and my partner travel all the way down to Lakeland once in awhile just to go to the poor Porker.. the Beignets are amazing. They are light.... they are fluffy .....and they are freshly made to order....... Well worth the wait and the drive!!!

The Poor Porker is such a fun little hidden gem! The beignets (caramel ones are pictured) are delicious, cold brew and iced tea hit the spot! Highly recommend!

Cool spot here. I went to see a DJ on a Friday night, very cool. Decent BBQ and deserts. The bis upside is the environment. Super friendly staff, and comfy accommodations. Almost 100% outside seating. Super chill vibe and great drinks. I say you gotta go at least once!!

Beignets are smaller now than they were two years ago (last visit), but you get 5 per order now instead of 3. The taste is not quite the same as the old style, but they were still really good! We had the traditional and caramel along with some yummy Vietnamese style coffee.

Amazing Place Very kid friendly atmosphere It was my second time going. First time It was my 55th Birthday I remember it so well. Because it was Karaoke night and my oldest Grandson who was 15 dedicated A Song My Girl to me..That was 5 yes ago..I've always wanted to go back. But I don't drive anymore so depend on my Adult children to take me somewhere. They wanted to go to Munn park. But I said. PLEASE POOR PORKER I WANT TO GO TO POOR PORKER AGAIN..ITS MOTHERS DAY. I got my Way...😆 I really appreciate you guys for taking the time to come say Hello and meet my daughter ,Grandchildren And I. Happy you like my Reborn Art Dolls. Cody and Chance You guys are wonderful good people. So glad to meet you. Thanks Granny Singing Nanny

Amazing!! There experience was so relaxing and fun! Did my sister's bachelorette party there and reserved the Blue Pagoda table for 10 and it was perfect. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

If you don't love their beignets and cute, outdoor, pseudo-Midwest decor, then go. Leave. Never return. I won't look back, and neither should you.

Their nutella beignets + iced coffee hits the spot! Also a delightful intimate venue for live music.

Really cool place to check out they have a lot of things to look at. And the food and coffee was delicious
