Last night was truly one for the books!

We are so incredibly grateful to have been part of Bartow’s Taste of Polk and want to take a moment to thank everyone who helped make such an amazing night possible.

To all of the incredible vendors who came out and represented your brands — what a night! There were so many amazing restaurants and catering companies, and everyone brought their A-game with some absolutely incredible food.

A HUGE thank you to the Bartow Chamber of Commerce for putting on such an amazing event, to all of the wonderful sponsors who helped make it happen, and to everyone who attended. Y’all really showed up!

And we are beyond excited and humbled to say that The Social at Idlewood took home BOTH Best Entrée AND the People’s Choice Award!

To every single person who voted for us — THANK YOU! Your support means more than you know. We are so proud to represent Bartow and be part of this incredible community.

If you haven’t been by yet, come see us at The Social at Idlewood, right next to the Bartow Golf Course. We’d love to have you!
