Apple Lounge & Grill has some of the best wings in Polk County. We started with the fried pickle…read morespears, but the real stars are the wings--crispy, saucy, and paired with a house-made dill ranch that doesn't miss. We tried the Mango Wango along with the garlic parmesan/medium buffalo combo, and both were excellent. Wednesday's $1 wing special is hard to beat. Good drinks, plenty of dartboards and pool tables, and an overall fun hangout spot. Only downside is that smoking is allowed inside the lounge. If that's an issue for you, I'd recommend calling your order in and grabbing it to-go. Our sever also addressed us by name and kept up with our drinks for the evening.

PORT 27 - A Waterfront Night Worth Pulling In For…read more.. Friday night in Florida... and instead of fighting I-4 traffic to Orlando or Tampa, I decided to pull into Port 27 and see what the buzz was about. Parking was full, always a good sign,but somehow I found a spot right as I pulled in. That already felt like the night was off to a good start... As soon as I stepped out of the car, I noticed the lighthouse glowing under a spotlight. At night, it completely transforms the space. It gives off this cool nautical, almost Nantucket-style coastal vibe the kind that makes you forget you're still in Polk County. Walking in, you're greeted by the soft glow of overhead lights and a courtyard that feels alive but relaxed. On the left are food trucks designed like train cars. Such a cool touch. There's a crêpe truck, a seafood truck, and a taco truck, all adding to the variety. They also have a burger spot and a pizza shop, so no one leaves hungry. Families were enjoying the play area in the center, letting the little ones burn off energy while adults relaxed. There's even a swing near the brewery that makes for a great picture spot. Speaking of the brewery... I didn't grab a beer this time, but that's definitely happening on my next visit. There was a DJ playing near the lake, music floating across the water. The bar sits right on the waterfront, and with the moon in a soft waxing crescent phase, just a slim "baby" crescent in the sky it made the whole scene feel cinematic. The green glow of the dock lights reflecting off the water on a Florida night? Amazing. I stopped into the coffee shop and enjoyed a cup of coffee and some Dubai chocolate squares that were absolutely worth trying (and re-trying). What I really appreciated is that Port 27 gives Polk County residents a true waterfront night-out experience without the drive to Orlando or Tampa. No I-4 commute is definitely a plus. I get the allure now. It's relaxed, scenic, family-friendly, and still great for a date night or meeting friends. The lighthouse is the perfect finishing touch it pulls the whole vibe together. I'll definitely be back to explore more.

Although there was a bit of a wait, our service was great and the overall experience was positive. This is a gorgeous restaurant that is very elegant. Our server Tammy was LOVELY - so attentive (even being so busy), great recommendations and really just a delight to have as a server. We all chose a variety of things, but I had the mushroom and truffle ravioli as a starter that was very good. I could tell the pasta was made in house. My boyfriend had the spinach gnocchi that was fantastic!!! I was jealous I didn't order it lol. He got the prime rib, that he said was good. I have the prime filet that was good, but I wish the chimichurri on top had a little bit more flavor. We were bummed we couldn't order the espresso martini tower for my mother in law, but understood it would have been a huge stressor on the bar staff. We did order a few espresso martinis à la carte and they were fantastic! Definitely made with fresh espresso. Lastly, the crème brulee came out flaming and was absolutely the best I've ever had! We were really enjoying ourselves, but I wish I took more photos. We really enjoyed the experience and look forward to coming back for dinner one day!
