Gaskins Barbecue and Lobster is a chinese bbq in Lakeland, Florida. It is listed at 1614 Town Center Dr, Lakeland, FL 33803, which places it among the local businesses of Lakeland that residents and visitors turn to when they need this kind of service close by.

Chinese restaurants in the United States range from steam-table lunch counters to white-tablecloth Cantonese seafood halls, and most fall somewhere in between: a laminated menu, a lunch special board, and combo plates priced a few dollars below the dinner menu. Ordering by number off the menu is normal and speeds things up, especially at takeout counters. Family-style ordering, where a table shares several dishes with rice rather than each person getting an individual entree, is standard at sit-down spots and usually cheaper per person. Many neighborhood restaurants are cash-preferred or charge a small card fee, so it is worth asking or checking the door before you order. Delivery apps cover most areas, but calling the restaurant directly is often faster and avoids the markup.
The business lists hours on 2 days of the week. The most common schedule is 11 AMβ9 PM. As with most places, expect changes around holidays; the phone number below is the fastest way to confirm. You can reach Gaskins Barbecue and Lobster at (863) 816-5644; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions.

Lakeland is in Florida, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Lakeland follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Damn, hate to but I have to echo the previous reviews regarding the prices and the new service. This plate was tasty but not worth $32. And I think I saw cheese curd appetizers for $15? Really? Weβve been coming in here for years. Gaskins has always been a part of our regular rotation eating out. The prices are just way too high now. That said, unless something changes weβll be less inclined to visit again. Also, I always liked ordering at the counter. Consider going back to that model. I watched a mother and her kids come in and subsequently leave. Appeared to be lack of timely service. Edit: Fair enough response but the prices are still questionable.

5 stars for food (lobster roll & sliced brisket) and service - 4 overall because couldnβt order drinks thru app and currently not serving iced tea - a necessity with any BBQ place. Complementary ice cream too!

It was a little quiet and the pictures displayed out front is what brought my partner and I in and omg Iβm so glad we took a chance. I got the Ghetto Lobster Roll with 19oz of meat, a side of sweet potato fries, a root beer and ice cream. While my partner got Pull Pork Grilled cheese, white cheddar Mac and cheese, Pepsi and ice cream. All of it came out to $39 + tip. Now it is pricey but we did get a lot of food and when we took a bite we both realized the price is WELL worth it. Omg the lobster roll was so juicy and the garlic butter *chefs kiss* I even took a bite of my partners food and it was so yummy. I swear this is gonna be my new happy spot. Iβm still sitting at the restaurant finishing my meal as I write this. I just couldnβt wait to review.

Excited to have a place to eat lobster roll in Lakeland. Letβs start by the service 4 stars only because the cashier was friendly, not one smile not one greet and upon questions just felt she just rather be home that day. The lobster roll is a 10. The bread was buttered and warm, the lobster was cooked perfectly and received a good amount. The fries could be so much better they were regular fries, the sweet potato fries with marshmallows was ok, hubby had the pork sandwich and loved it. Another waiter came to offer us free ice cream and was a lot nicer than the cashier she kinda saved the day. I will be back for the lobster roll, hopefully cashier is having better day.

Me and my hubby decided to order takeout for Valentine's Day yesterday. I've been wanting good lobster and decided to order the lobster roll. My hubby gets home and it looks amazing, my mouth is literally watering! I go and put my meal together turn to my left and the whole plate falls on the floor! I just stood there dumbfounded staring at my Valentine's Day lobster on the floor. My amazing hubby immediately reordered and went to go get it. The girl, I think her name was Yashira according to our receipt, remembered my hubby and was so sad that my Valentine's Day dinner ended up on the floor. She went above and beyond to make it special, she gave me an extra side and an amazing coupon for my next visit. I literally cried when I saw the card and her hand written note. Never in my life have I experienced such impeccable customer service! The prices were very fair and the food was absolutely amazing. I will be back there many many times! She really has no idea how much that little gesture meant to me.. I definitely shed a couple tears. When they say it's a little things that make the biggest impact, boy they are right!
