“Wow! Stopped by while I was in the area and I’m beyond impressed. Small shop, not any real room to eat in if there’s multiple people there for pickup, but it’s absolutely worth the visit. I got the jerk chicken with rice and plantains. The seasoning on the jerk chicken was perfect. Not too spicy and full of flavor. The rice was good but I don’t know anyone who prioritizes that, I was more concerned with finishing the generous amount of chicken.

~edit
I had to update this because it was so good I had to go back again. Right now I’m eating my cold leftovers from lunch straight from the fridge and it’s still blowing my mind. I also got a couple beef patties this time around, they’re flakey and delicious. So much flavor packed in this food.”

“Market 27: A Love Letter to Convenience, Cuisine, and Chaos

Some restaurants aren’t just places to eat—they’re events. They’re where memories are made, diets are broken, and strangers nod at each other over shared plates of fries. Market 27 is one of those rare gems. Half grocery store, half restaurant, and all heart, it’s the kind of spot where you can grab a soda, a sandwich, and an existential crisis over which ice cream flavor to choose—all in one visit.

Upon entering Market 27, you’re greeted by what can only be described as ice cream nirvana. It’s an endless sea of flavors, allegedly 44 strong (though who’s counting?). It’s like a sugary mirage, beckoning you to drop everything and dive into the Mother Lode of frozen delight. But alas, you must first endure the wait for a table, during which time you’ll find yourself wandering through aisles of preserves, snacks, and sodas so obscure they probably only exist in this corner of Florida.

Once seated, the magic of Market 27 really kicks in. The menu is a sprawling epic, the War and Peace of casual dining, offering everything from burgers to quesadillas, pizza to macaroni platters. You could close your eyes and point at random, and odds are you’d land on something worth writing home about. Personally, I like to experiment—always trying something new, but never straying too far from my comfort zone. (I’m adventurous, but not that adventurous.)

What truly elevates Market 27, however, is the atmosphere. This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a living, breathing community center. I can’t go there without running into someone I know—fellow model airplane enthusiasts, airport buddies, or just random folks from around town. The walls are adorned with eclectic art and TVs that cater to all interests: sports, trivia, and the occasional oddball video that sparks debates over fries.

Then there’s the ice cream bar. Oh, the ice cream bar. It’s not just a dessert station; it’s a social experiment. Families gather, seniors compare pill schedules, and someone inevitably declares, “This solves all the world’s problems!” And maybe it does. Ice cream has that power.

But let’s not forget the staff—the unsung heroes of this culinary circus. The waiters and waitresses at Market 27 are paragons of patience and cheer, even when the line snakes out the door and a toddler decides to reenact The Fast and the Furious between the tables. They remind us that dining out isn’t just about food—it’s about the experience, and these folks deliver it with a smile.

So if you ever find yourself on the border of Polk and Highlands Counties, near Baymont Park and an RV lot, do yourself a favor: stop at Market 27. It’s more than a meal; it’s an adventure. And who knows? You might just find yourself leaving with a full stomach, a new favorite soda, and a renewed sense of small-town charm.

Parking: If no parking if front swing around to the back and you will see plenty of parking

Kid-friendliness: Ice cream make every scream

Wheelchair accessibility: It is one level so you able to get in.”

“I don't believe they can and I don't believe that they want to. Address on my bag was wrong and I received cold pizza like it set out all night it was horrible I spent $25 on one large hamburger mushroom and extra cheese with four wings that came to $25 now I'm 67 years old I live on Social Security and I just threw the pizza out because that's how bad it was. I called them up and told them and then they said they have to rely on doordash well I would think if other people complain which I believe they do you wouldn't use doordash you would hire drivers. I know I'm not the first person to say how bad they are is horrible it's a shame it's downright cruel. no I will not be calling them back no I'm done with hungry Howie's I'll make my own pizza thank you, that was the very first time I called... goodbye hungry Howie's”
