Go patio hoppinG

Don’t let your outdoor adventures stop when it comes time for dinner. Meet for 14 ounce smoked ribeyes on the patio at Johnson Barbeque, served only on Friday and Saturday nights after 5pm. Grab a bite at Linda’s Crab Shack. Enjoy fried fish tacos, served in a warm tortilla with fresh Cole slaw or one of the restaurant’s iconic Devil Crabs. Grab a glass of wine at Roots Tap Room & Wine Bar and enjoy views of downtown Plant City or stop by Smokin’ Aces BBQ for a cold beer on draft or bottles on the outdoor patio.

If there’s any doubt Plant City is a community passionate about local agriculture, stop at Forbes Road Produce also offers seasonal produce including peaches, watermelon, shelled peas, and much more to give you a taste of summer. The market also offers a selection of plants to improve your lawn and garden including rose bushes, crotons, and marigolds.

Residents and out of town guests like support Parkesdale Farm Market and getting fresh produce, shopping for jarred sauces, salsas and jams, and grabbing a dessert to cool down. Take your milkshake or Dole whip into the greenhouse and peruse the selection of flowers, trees and garden decor. Then, take a photo in the strawberry throne, a landmark of the market.
