Local Restaurants Expanding Curbside and Takeout Due to Coronavirus Measures

A Milton and Pace breakdown of which places are making adjustments

In an attempt to slow the spread of the coronavirus, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis ordered restaurants and bars across the state to close their dining rooms. That means many Milton and Pace restaurants have quickly pivoted to delivery, takeout, and curbside pickup. We’ve compiled a list of restaurants that have expanded such services recently. If you know of additional service changes, email us the name of the restaurant and any other helpful information at dana@iheartmilton.com.
