O.T Anyone from Lakeland?

Hello, I found a home for my little dog & the lady lives in Holiday FL, I told her I would meet her 1/2 way which I figured to be Lakeland. Were both coming I-4, does anyone know a good exit off I-4 in lakeland where we can meet at a resturant or ??   I have never been to Lakeland &  neither has she so were both "clueless" any advice would be so helpfull!!!

I was just in Lakeland for a consult with Dr. Albear.  There is a Cracker Barrel right off I-4 at exit  #33.  The address is 4343 Lakeland Park Drive, Lakeland FL 33809-3585,  I-4 & Socrum Loop Road.  It is very easy to find -- and the BLT is to die for! Red

Exit 32 is I-4 & Hwy.98 - to the South just off I-4 is a Bob Evans on the West side and a Road House Grill on the East side of Hwy.98. To the North of I-4 is a Steak n Shake on the East side and Hooters on the West side of Hwy.98 and just beyond both of those of I-4 on Hwy.98 is the Lakeland Square Mall.

If you take the exit for HWY 98 (Lakeland Mall) and go north on 98 about 1/2 mile up the road on your right is a Petco, if you have a dog with you, he could walk around in there with you and the parking lot is always very open and not oo crowded, it is right next to Target and behind checkers. 

HI there I live in Lakeland.  There are many places off these exits.  Good luck to you.
