Restaurants will offer different items, like a cocktail flight at Tap and Pour. A cinnamon roll flight at Between Friends Coffee will have different flavors like cookie butter and orange cream. 

Kate Hogan, the city’s community and economic development director, said there are more creative options, too. The Butcher Shop will offer sliders. Thai Pepper and Kin.D 96 Thai and Sushi will sell Asian cuisine. 

Even more unique, Gigi’s Comfort Food will be offering a flight of four egg rolls. 

The tour is a culinary opportunity to boost visits for small businesses and introduce customers to local cuisine, Hogan said.

She said the beginning of the summer is typically slower for local businesses since people are out of town vacationing. The economic department aimed to find a way to support small businesses during the slowdown.

Hogan said this event is an ultimate celebration of the city’s culture of encouraging local talent.

“We also thought it was a great opportunity to play off of the city’s new tagline, ‘Take Flight’… Aiming to support those small businesses, but really trying to hone into our new brand,” she said. 

Mayor LaRhonda Patrick believes this will be a unique and exciting event. The tour is part of a series celebrating America’s 250th birthday

“We’re really excited about blending Take Flight tour into the America 250 events,” Patrick said.

Patrick believes 2026 is the best year to further reveal the city’s new branding.  In July of last year, the city unveiled its new logo reflecting its military heritage. 

“[It is] introducing our new brand in a fun, tasty way,” she said.

This is similar to another city event called Burger Week, which took place in September of last year. Patrick hopes the Take Flight tour will have the same effect as Burger Week, bringing new customers to the businesses and giving them exposure on social media.

“Local businesses are the heart of our community. These are people who put their life savings into a dream,” she said. “We know that the more opportunities that small businesses get to reach a larger audience, the more likely they are to continue succeeding. Anything we can do to help highlight small businesses is something we will always do.”

To participate in the Take Flight Tour, visit the city’s website, download their app and check in at each participating restaurant. 

If patrons visit 10 locations, they will be eligible for a limited-edition Warner Robins patriotic t-shirt. 

Currently, 16 restaurants are signed up to participate. This includes: 

The Take Flight tour will span from June 5 to June 14. For more information, visit the city’s website.
