Located at 2101 South Florida Avenue in Lakeland, LoveBird Almost Famous Chicken is “inspired by our southern culture’s love for food, music, and community,” as the brand’s website says. “Our mission is to create an environment where high-quality, scratch made recipes are served in a laid back environment with a bit of southern shine.”
Now LoveBird is preparing to take its chicken-focused menu to a second location, this time in Winter Haven, where it will launch at 199 Sixth St NW.
“Can’t wait for this place to open,” says a five-star review already given to the location on Google Maps. “The one in Lakeland has great food and service.”
The menu features a “Bun + Tenders + Bun” sandwich menu boasting varieties like the G.O.A.T. (lettuce, tomoato, onion, dill pickle, Duke’s mayo), the BIRD & the BEE (Chili infused hot honey, whipped honey butter, sweet pickle, served medium heat), and the Godfeather (Marinara, garlic-parmesan-basil aioli, melty mozzarella). There are also chicken plates featuring dark and light meat, fried tenders, and Citrus Grilled tenders, served up with sauces ranging from “Southern A.F.” (no heat) to “Why” (crazy heat.)
Sides include Jalapeño Bacon Corn, Tomato Cucumber Salad, Collard Greens, Bourbon Baked Beans, So Gouda Mac, and Tangy Slaw.
A representative of LoveBird was not immediately available on Wednesday for comment on the planned Winter Haven location.

CORRECTION: A previous version of this article described LoveBird as originating in Clearwater. The brand is based in Lakeland.
not Clearwater-born…. but established in Lakeland Florida.
Doesn’t seem to be getting anywhere n Winter Haven. I’ve seen no activity towards finishing this location.
