Temple Terrace, Florida
Hillsborough County · 97 restaurants
Temple Terrace was planned in the 1920s as one of the first golf-course communities in the country, named for the Temple orange once grown in the citrus groves that originally surrounded it, and its Mediterranean Revival architecture still defines much of the city today. The University of South Florida sits just across the Hillsborough River, and the city's 92 restaurants serve a mix of USF students and faculty alongside longtime residents drawn to the area's tree-lined, historic character. Florida College, a small private liberal arts school, adds another layer to what remains one of Hillsborough County's more distinctive small cities.

Important context for city pages
City pages are comparison tools built from public Florida DBPR inspection data. They help surface local patterns quickly, but they are not official government rankings and they should not replace reading the individual restaurant page before making a decision.
