You Oughta Try This
You can tell a city is growing when it adds its third Chik-fil-A or when someone tells you they want to meet up at Black & Brew but you have to clarify which one. In addition to expansion for some of the tried and true favorites, the restaurant and food business in Lakeland has been evolving and ascending in recent years with more culinary diversity that includes different cultures and flavor profiles that is truly elevating what it means to be a Lakelander. So hop into a booth with us, grab a seat at the bar, or even venture behind the counter and see some of what’s been cooking, brewing and baking from new establishments the past couple of years.
