There are so many great options in Lakewood Ranch to eat & drink, or just hang out with friends.
From a full sit-down meal, to healthy options you can take with you, Main Street Lakewood Ranch offers a bit of everything. This one street has such an array of cuisine that we wanted to highlight all of the options for food & drink on Main Street Lakewood Ranch in a fun walking tour. So, let’s take a walk down Main Street. Station 400 – We start on the corner at Station 400. This local family owned breakfast and lunch spot has two locations. The LWR one is inspired by a railroad depot building, similar to their downtown Sarasota location, but with a modern feel.

Our personal faves: French Toast Bites and the Station 400 Chipotle Club Sandwich Learn more about Station 400 here: http://www.station400.com/lwr-main-street
Starbucks – This one is pretty self-explanatory, I think. There are quick food & snack options, coffee, tea, and other beverages. Also, you can use free WiFi and a spot to sit and do work or read a book while you watch the Main Street traffic go by. You can also order on the app and pick it up in the store for a quick coffee run!
