One of the many unexpected delights you’ll discover in Lakeland is a growing culinary scene filled with original restaurants proudly serving up fresh local flavor. Farm-raised beef, pork and poultry and lip-smacking barbecue have earned the area its title as BBQ Capital of Florida, while locally grown produce and fresh seafood grace the plates at farm-to-table restaurants helmed by chefs dedicated to using the freshest ingredients.
From down-home, Southern comfort food to classic, high-end steakhouse fare, you’ll find a wealth of delicious options, including a variety of ethnic cuisines: Mexican, Italian, Cajun, Asian, Indian, Latin American, Mediterranean and more, where talented chefs serve authentic, made-from-scratch family recipes.
Food trucks, halls and tours, as well as coffee houses and craft breweries, round out the mix of taste sensations, while charming settings include historic homes-turned-restaurants and outdoor lakeside dining where you can enjoy the sunshine and water views with your meal. Families will find plenty of places that cater to kids, and those on a budget will appreciate great happy hour specials.
