If you’re looking for some of our top picks for the summer for lunch in Plant City, look no further than our gorgeous farm and restaurant!
Tuna Wonton Nachos
One of our most popular summertime starters is the Tuna Wonton Nachos because of the bright flavors and bold textures. We marinate fresh tuna in wasabi and soy to give it a perfect balance of heat and umami. It’s served over crispy wonton chips and topped with a cool cucumber and jicama slaw. Finished with sesame seeds and a drizzle of sriracha aioli, this appetizer is light, refreshing, and ideal for sharing.
Blackened Chicken Tacos
Our Blackened Chicken Tacos bring together smoky, spicy, and tangy elements in one satisfying dish. Each flour tortilla taco is filled with blackened chicken, shredded lettuce, fresh pico de gallo, and our house-made cilantro lime aioli with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro to tie it all together. Paired with crispy fries, this dish is a go-to for those craving a filling dish that still brings the bright flavors of summer.
California Flatbread
Craving something fresh and filling? The California Flatbread is a fan favorite thanks to its colorful combination of ingredients and satisfying flavors. We first spread a base of avocado ranch on a flatbread before layering grilled chicken, fire-roasted bell peppers, and melted mozzarella. We finish it off with peppered fried spinach and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. It’s no secret why this is one of our most popular dishes for a delicious Plant City lunch.
Take a Refreshing Sip of a Summertime Keel and Curley Specialty
What’s a summer meal without something refreshing to sip? At Keel Farms, our craft beverages are as much a part of the experience as the food, and we have some of the greatest summer flavors around.
Key Lime Wine
Light, tart, and just the right amount of sweet, Key Lime Wine is a Keel and Curley Winery signature drink that embodies a true Florida summer in every glass. Perfectly chilled and bursting with citrus, this wine pairs especially well with seafood dishes like our Tuna Wonton Nachos.
Mango Cider
Our Mango Cider is brewed right here at Keel Farms using real fruit and our very own cider-making process. It’s a bright, tropical, and slightly tangy cider that’s perfect for sipping when the temperatures are above 90 degrees. We recommend enjoying Mango Cider with your Blackened Chicken Tacos for a balance of refreshing and bold flavors.
