Eat it all at these Polk County food halls

Deciding where to eat is hard — these local food halls are making it easier with plenty of options all in the same place.

Here’s your hall pass to three unique food halls, each with their own delicious vendor lineup.

We’ve all been there — you’re craving pizza, but your dinner date is in the mood for sushi. The solution? Food halls. These foodie destinations in Lakeland and beyond bring several eateries together under the same roof, so you can grab that slice of pepperoni while your friend orders spicy tuna.
