Haines City, Florida

Polk County · 193 restaurants

Haines City sits in Polk County's citrus belt along US-27, and its historic downtown reflects a town built on the orange industry that once dominated this stretch of Central Florida. The city's 186 restaurants increasingly serve a growing Hispanic population, particularly Mexican and Puerto Rican families, drawn by affordable housing within commuting distance of both Orlando and Tampa. Nearby Give Kids the World Village and the area's citrus-processing heritage give Haines City a dual identity — part working agricultural town, part fast-growing Central Florida bedroom community.
