Anthony's Health Hut & Restaurant

I've been going to Anthony's for years and have ALWAYS had wonderful service. It's a family owned store so on one hand they naturally don't have the inventory of a chain (but are always happy to place an order). On the other hand they're able offer healthy, amazingly delicious, made from scratch lunches and treats. Add this to Anthony's wealth of knowledge that she willingly shares and this business can't be beat. Don't avoid it because of a few negative reviews...try it yourself & you'll see how great it is! :) more

I am not very pleased with the rudeness of these people and the prices are too high also. I went in there to find a bread I had been looking for, and the woman acted like I should just buy what they have and not ask them to order it from their distributer and would not, so I found another health food store in the same area and they had it in stock. Anthoney's has not a clue on customer service. more

Our 2 younger children grew up with vitamins from Anthony's. And we continue to purchase vitamins there. Never have I gone in and not been treated with courtesy. The owner has always taken time to answer my questions, and was so helpful regarding natural alternatives during menopause. I have and still do recommend Anthony's to others. Greet others with a friendly smile and very rarely do you not get one in return--remember clerks/store personnel are human too. more

If you have never eaten lunch at Anthony's Health Hut, you've missed out on a real treat. They serve up a variety of homemade soups, as well as delicious sandwiches and salads. The sandwiches are stacked high with healthy goodness; the salads fresh and crisp.\r \r I've had their smoothies, and they, too are yummy.\r \r I've always found the clerks to be extremely friendly and helpful to regulars and newcomers alike. Check it out - you'll be glad you did. more

The first reviewer must have gone in complaining about prices or something because they owners and workers couldn't be any nicer. Or perhaps they were in a different store. The love to answer questions, and help with anything you need help with. The food is good, but I also wouldn't agree with the last reviewer and say it is the only place you can get good food in lakeland, or polk county. Anyway, I am not a huge health food nut but I don't like eating garbage for snacks so I get mine there, and occassionally I will get lunch or something there. I have never had anything I didn't like. Highly recommend if your sick of not being able to find things with out high fructose corn syrup, or poisonous sugar substitutes. A++++ more

Anthony's has the best White Bean Soup. Please don't be discouraged by the other remarks here... Anthony's has a wonderful restaurant from vegan to carnivorous, and that is very hard to find here in Lakeland. Like I said, their White Bean Soup is the best I've ever had, and I've eaten a lot of soup! Lots of organic stuff, vitamins, and the works, so I would have to recommend it, if only because it has healthy stuff on the menu, most of which is organic. Try the bean soup, we're getting some for grandma for tomorrow, and she don't like anything. more

Surely it is a profitable business, but I would think a friendlier approach to the customer would be an asset to this place. My husband and I have been there 5 or 6 times over the years and have never gotten a customer friendly response from anyone working there, including the owner. I also find their prices higher than any other health food store in our town or in areas within 30 miles. I am a professional and do not think I look like a thief or shoplifter, but always have been approached in a rude way when I have been in that store. Maybe they have a problem with that. I over heard someone else saying almost the same thing while I was waiting for an appointment recently. Thus the reason for this unfavorable review. Maybe they can work on a customer friendly approach. PROS: Good Location CONS: Unfriendly more
