Winners Circle Sports Bar & Grill

Consistently voted the best wings in Lakeland (though the bar is pretty low from my experience). Also their original sauce is their own house special sauce and isn't your regular old wing sauce so be careful if that's what you are expecting. It tastes pretty decent, but it's not what I think of when I think regular wing flavor.We've only ever ordered to go, but my wife feels a little nervous even picking up wings there because of the ambiance. It's not that bad to me, but the pick up area definitely has a disorganized dive bar kind of feeling.In the past they've also totally messed up our pick up orders. This last time they made sure to list on each box exactly what everything was so hopefully that's them learning from past mistakes.One major positive was that the wings were pretty full so you definitely got a decent amount of meat relative to some places.

Winners Circle is a great place to catch a football game. The walls are decked out with TVs tuned to every game worth watching. Also, if you don't immediately see what you are looking for, the very helpful staff will tune in to your game of choice. (Our server--Mary, I think--was great). The drink selection and prices are good, as is the food. We ordered twenty wings, plus onion rings and cheese sticks. We ordered all of our wings hot, and I wish there was more heat, but the flavor was decent and the wings were all cooked well. I'd say the bone-in were stronger than my brother-in-law's boneless selection, but that's always my preference anyway. I'd definitely come back next time I'm in town and looking to spend a Saturday or Sunday catching the games, drinking cold beer, and enjoying tasty food at fair prices. The vibes may be a little divey for some, but that's kind of what you're looking for in a sports bar, isn't it?

My husband and I were driving around looking for a place with a really good burger and stumbled upon this establishment. The parking lot was packed, the outside had that sports/dive bar kinda feel (FYI-most of the time they are the best). A bit weathered but tons of TV's so who's looking at the walls!! Sat at the bar and Heather was our bartender. She said they are known for their wings but we were told their burgers were fresh made and also great. Everything came out GREAT..cooked perfectly the way we each wanted and big and juicy. Prices are more than fair , staff was very friendly and even the patrons were fun. We intend coming back for the wings next time!!

5/5 for wing flavors. *sets tone* I'm a black lesbain walking into this place with her white lesbain friend....bar full of white people. One back man to my left. We give each other the head nod...I know I can eat here...wing flavor 5/5 because they have sour cream and onion. The house sauce for the fried pickles make you wanna take your shoes off and dip em. Heat hits nice. If Mary's not serving the wings and Teresa's not pouring up the drank, then just get it to-go, it's still gonna be on point! I'm from out of town but I will be back

We were here for dinner due to being in Lakeland for an RV rally and it was the rally hosts choice. Hands down some of the worst service I've ever experienced at any establishment. Granted, our party was large (over 25 people taking up 2 long tables), but the space had been reserved well in advance and the staff should have been better prepared. All started out well, with our server taking drink and app orders and returning with drinks. Apps started arriving, except for ours. We ordered Pretzel Bites and fried mushrooms, and over an hour later the pretzels finally showed up, along with an order of fried pickles that we didn't order. Bear in mind that by this point, the rest of our party had finished not only their apps, but most of their dinners as well. The pretzels were good, as were the corn nuggets that one of our friends shared with us so we didn't starve. That's the only reason that I gave 2 stars. Otherwise the service and devil-may-care attitude of our server would have resulted in only one. Although I know we'll be back in Lakeland in the future, rest assured that we'll not be dining here again.

Great wings. We asked for 2x fried. Came out crunchy and hot. Great place for FSU football watching. Would recommend.

Servers and food was outstanding, Everyone in this restaurant was very respectful! As USA Today said BEST SPORTS BAR IN FLORIDA!

The friendly staff don't deserve the mediocre food and awful mixed drinks this place serves. It may have been voted the best wings, but it is clear why this place is mostly empty on a Saturday evening. My advice: hire a good bartender.

My wife and her friends went to an event here last night. The show, food, and service was great as always with Winners Circle. There was, however, a separate fundraiser being held, that my wife and friends put a lot of money into. The person who it was for decided to attack my wifes friends for no reason. We have been coming here for years, and because of this incident, we will never come back. I find it hard to believe that the owners would allow people like this to run a fund raiser in their establishment. We and our friends have spent so much money here, and that will now stop as the result of a few idiots!!! In the future, the owners should better screen the people who have separate events, because it reflects on them!

We had a party of 13 come in Sunday night and we all had a great time. We had small children with us and our server brought their food out with the appetizers without us even having to ask which was great. She let them play on a chalkboard to keep them entertained which was great because it allowed us to enjoy our time more together as we don't get time together often as parents. my wife gor the Kimmie wings per her recommendation and they are her new favorite. I forgot her name. she is short with brown hair. we will be back. thank you for the great food and service.
