At a press conference June 3, Mike Tolley said the old saloon was to be gutted and refurbished into a family friendly eatery, featuring barbecue selections with a smokehouse flair.
Following the Aug. 8 opening, Uncle Mike's will continue its Plant City debut celebration with live county music Aug. 9 and 10, featuring Plant City's The Clemons Road Band.
