“From the moment we walked in the door, we knew we hit the BBQ jackpot! John greeted my husband and I, recommending we try the Patriot, which consisted of FIVE different (DELICIOUS) meats, 3 savory sides, cornbread and Texas Toast. This was beyond a sampler platter, the meats were moist, tasty and smoked to absolute perfection. Their signature BBQ sauces were an added slice of Heaven. It didn’t stop there, the Mac n Cheese made my recipe look like chump change. The Brunswick Stew was beyond tasty, to the point that my Husband was actually speechless for a solid 4 minutes (thank you). Still going….While devouring the corn bread, John brought us a side of candy like tasting butter that was out of this world! We washed all this greatness down with the most refreshing fountain soda. Needless to say, the entire experience at Frostproof BBQ company was sheer perfection. My day is made and we’re already planning our next trip (which will include one of their deserts). Definitely recommend, a million outta 10! DELICIOUS! 😋”

Only thing (and it’s a small thing) is maybe better live music outdoors or a juke box for when there is no live music! All in all we love it and will keep coming back every weekend!!!”

“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.
