“First time here. What a cute place. The hostess was sweet… sorry, I did not catch your name but you were so nice. The young lady who was my server was the best. Attentive, personable, sweet, and was overall a lovely lady. Her name is Lynne. She made my first time experience here super pleasant.I had shrimp and pasta and it was so good!Went for dinner and the sunset was so gorgeous.The only thing that I did not care too much for was how loud it was. Not a deal breaker. It just made it lively.Thanks Lynn for such great service and your personality was top notch!“

“It was my Dad's birthday and of all the places in the surrounding area, he insisted on The Bistro. And when you're turning 88 years old, you get what you want! Keeping this review short and sweet, I'll mention what stood out...First off, I must mention that the property is beautiful. Secondly, the food, prime rib, was on point and very prompt. Third and finally, Megan, our waitress, was phenomenal. She was so great with my Dad and honestly made the whole night memorable. So once again, TY Megan. Hope to do it all over again for my Dad's 89th(:“

“Have eaten many times over last 2.5 years and it’s always been good food and very friendly service. Today was no different. Try the Smokehouse Burger — it’s the best burger in The Villages! Have ordered three times now and very consistent quality.“

“First time here and everything was great. Monday special was Build your own burger with fries for $7.99; I upgraded for onion rings. You can’t even get fast food for that any more. The food came fast, was piping hot and delicious! The service was also very good with Tiffany as our server. She checked on us often and made sure we were happy with our meal?“

“Wonderful quaint restaurant to go to. Found by accident after failing to get in at Denny's. I'm do glad I couldn't get in st Denny's cause I never would have found this place. The staff is super friendly and entertaining. Atmosphere is awsome. It's a popular place from what I can see and having been there I know why. I will definitely return. To much food at a reasonable price“

“Great place, to eat! I live the fact of how aware the staff is. Even on busy breakfast days, when the waitresses are literally running with a smile. Every waitress stopped to check that everything was perfect going to customers. I have never seen such a true dedication to patrons. Whether it was eat in or take out.....each waitress checked the order was correct! This business is well worth the visit! Food was awesome, everyone was very pleasant and welcoming.“

“I had been on the road awhile with my wife and daughter. We had skipped breakfast but wanted to stop for brunch. Saw that there was a cafe nearby our route with a funny, chicken-themed name, so we decided to stop by. Decided to be adventurous and try the lemon blueberry pancakes with goat cheese and house sausage. Delicious! The beignets with marmalade were also amazing! Will definitely be coming back in the future!Parking: Brownwood has plenty of parking in the area for the many shops and restaurants.Kid-friendliness: A high chair was readily available for my little girl and she loved her apple juice box on offer. A kids menu was available, but she was too small for those options.“

“Wow! Great experience! Food was excellent, drinks were good too. It was unexpected scenery in an unassuming location. You're paying for quality here...and getting it. Steaks were spot on! Our party raved on the Filet mignon, ribeye, and prime rib. Will definitely be back and telling others.“

“Excellent food and the menu has a good variety to choose from.They also have a full liquor bar if you like to have a drink with your meal or a mimosa with your breakfast! They run the full gamut of breakfast,lunch,& dinner and i would recommend them all. I would price it at above average cost but you pay for what you get and it is all good so enjoy! The waitresses and jenny who waits and bartends is the absolute best! They actually now have extended there hours by now opening up at 7:00 on saturday and sundays currently! So thats good news for on the weekends! Metro consistently has great service and the employees are all so helpful and treat you like your there best friend! Still great food and you get it fast! Great breakfast place and the workers are Great always make you feel comfortable(Jenny,Jackie,Angie)! Theres ben some changes at the metro lately our bartendress jenny is no longer there. Who really liked but now weve got Angie bartending & waiting on us and she does a great job always smiling and happy! Our favorite bartendress/waitress Angie always takes care of us the best. My 98 yr old WW2 veteran father calls her angel instead of angie. She knows exactly what we all drink and is getting them ready for us as we walk in the door! The food is always top notch whether its breakfast,lunch or dinner! All the other workers there are also very helpful(jackie)and always have a smile on there face!RR“

“They were busy and we were seated in the bar area after a 15 minute wait. Joyce the bartender took good care of us. The 6.99 Smashed burger w/ fries was hot and excellent for the price. The salad bar looked good too. We go to this location because it's a really good Ruby Tuesday and the service was great?.“

“First time I've ever eaten at a First Watch & I really enjoyed it! I had the ham & gruyere melt with greens that had a lemon vinaigrette dressing. It was delicious! My mom had the butterfly pea tea (very beautiful), I had the drink with orange, lemon, ginger, tumeric, agave & beet in it. It was better than I was expecting! I will definitely return here.“

“My parents and I are here for dinner before their bowling league and we had a great experience. They come here often but it was my first time since I'm in town visiting. I ordered the gyro platter and they ordered the chicken pita and chicken kebabs. We each loved our meals and they came out quick too. I really liked the gyro platter because it came with a fresh Greek salad, rice and tzatziki sauce. The service was really quick even though they were packed and our waitress was really nice and accommodating. I know my parents will be back soon and next time I'm in town I'd like to stop in again too!“

“My Grandpa ate here dang near every day since I could remember.... He's not with us anymore but walking in that place the other day reminded me why the world loved small diners and I can only hope they continue to shine... Try everything, you'll be happy you did?“

“Family favorite!! We aren't members of the Havana CC, but live in the neighboring village! This is always our favorite spot for lunch. The service is great and the food is even better! We always get the "pick two" combo they have there for lunch and it's the perfect amount!“

“I have been to several Darrell's Dinners over My time in The Villages and Everytime I haven't been disappointed.All of them have been better than the Last .From Now every time I see a Darrell's I'am guaranteed a Fine dining experience...⭐⭐⭐?“

“We have had their pizza twice now and it’s delicious! The first time we tried their Bob Marley and pepperoni pizza. This time we tried their supreme and the Bob Marley (yes again lol) I’m not a fan of pineapple on my pizza but I’ll eat this one lol Their giant cookies are also delicious!“

“The hash bowls are really good. And so are the supreme cold coffees, like dessert in a cup. They got us in and out quickly. They did mix up the eggs on the our two bowls, but we ate it anyway. The prices are really good and the portions are just right.“

“What an adorable spot for breakfast!! I love the wall art and the cute vintage fruit patterned table cloths. I had a simple breakfast of a biscuit ( side of apple butter ) poached eggs , bacon and their amazing creamy grits!!Others had more creative breakfasts, like hash, and waffles with fruit … l had a slice of the waffles and they were delicious. We all walked away happy and stuffed and we all agreed that the biscuits and grits were amazing.I have one tip , the biscuits could use a minute or two more in the oven .. if you like your biscuits more well done just ask the waitress , she will pick out a more well done one for you .“

“First time trying Riccardo's. The food was missing some flavor. We had eggplant parmesan and shrimp scampi. Food was prompt and hot. Must have been a one-off for us, but we will try again. The service was great, and food was priced reasonably.“

“This is in a retirement community so I recommend you call for reservations as there isn’t much seating available and the residents that live there seem to make reservations so it fills up fast. We were lucky and got a table. The staff is absolutely amazing. I got the chicken Alfredo and did not like it. The chicken tasted awful. I am willing to try the food again in the future though.“

“Like the waterfall flowing into the swimming pool. Swimming pool is for priority members only. Nice restaurant. Country music is played some nights. Challenging 18 hole Golf course from multiple tee boxes. Mature golf course has some of the tightest fairways to hit from the tee boxes in The Villages, FL.“

“Love this place!! For three years now we have become "snow birds" This is the first place we visit on every return!! Very hard to find awesome atmosphere, good food, and friendly attentive staff!! In the Villages, most everything is a chain! Shucks will not disappoint if your looking for simplicity :)“

“I must confess that I was eager to get to know this wonderful place! I had previously heard about it, I was very impressed by the warmth of the place, when you go up the stairs and open the door the feeling is cozy! We had a reservation and went straight to a private room! We receive immediate attention! The girl who helped us was great! The food is according to the local! Good starter Scallops along with a wonderful soup! The next dish was well presented and flavored according to the choice! The dessert was also appropriate! I was expecting an explosion of flavors…..but it was still really good! The bartender has a lot of experience and knows how to do his service very well! Thanks for that Macallan and my wife's cocktails!!! Without a doubt, it would be a restaurant that I would return to whenever I am invited, since it is only by invitation or by membership!“

“I don’t know anything about New York hotdogs, so I can’t speak to the quality of their New York dogs. But this was the best Chicago style hotdog I’ve had since I lived in Chicago. It beats Portillos or any other place I’ve been by a pretty big margin. Tastes like Chicago. I also had fried okra which was fine. Nothing remarkable about that but it was tasty.Parking: Free parking, small lot. But hey, it’s a pretty rural location so you’re not going to have to go too far for parking.“

“I had a great Friday night experience with my daughters recently. Our server was Mo and he was attentive, genuine, and spaced out our appetizer and meals perfectly. He was even playful with my 3 year old who occasionally got out of her seat to dance. The manager, Steve checked on us and the tables around us to ensure everyone was enjoying their experience. Our meals were delicious, as always.The food and service at Miller's is always our favorite and, without skipping a beat, our first choice when deciding where to dine out.“

“Our first visit. Sara was excellent and explained menu and Taco Tuesdays. She stopped by and refreshed drinks regularly and our food came out exactly as ordered. Friendly bartender visited our table and answered our questions about their trivia and music bingo nights. Bottom line: excellent food, outstanding service, friendly atmosphere.“

“Great place for late night entertainment & dance. As long as you are there on a night they have a good band. Hit & miss unless you know the bands by name.Parking: If no parking is available near the front of the restaurant. Then there is always parking around back.“

“Absolutely always wanted to stop in but never had the chance to! I stopped in yesterday for a beer on draft, not knowing what they had, I was PLEASANTLY SUPRISED TO FIND …..AMBERBOCK!!!! amberbock is so hard to find on draft and is my favorite beer brewed and on draft it’s unbeatable! Ivy was awesome, and I spoke to her about emcee/DJing there and left my card! I told ten friends that love amberbock about this place and now they’ll be going! Hope I get to talk to you all about DJing there! I give a few weeks free to see if it’s a fit, and if not, you got me for free to entertain !I went in for two beers and had 4, was so fresh and delicious! Thank you so much for such an awesome experience“

“The highlight of any visit to Harvest is simply walking in the door. You'll almost always be greeted by the smiling face of Jan who is ALWAYS ready to verbally spare. Being half Irish myself and 'slightly' full of the Craic, starting the evening out talking to Jan is a highlight and great way to kick off another fun evening. Harvest's success really comes down to the team AND their management. Eric Natera always personally makes sure every detail meets your satisfaction. We were just there last Friday night with some out of town guests from up north and were blessed with a fabulous outdoor table and a tremendous meal. Our server Leslie was awesome. THANK YOU TEAM HARVEST !!! #seafood #harvest #brownwood #thevillages“

“Food was good, but nothing to brag about(frozen crinkle fries, mozz sticks). Atmosphere is great on the lake sitting outside but table top has holes in the clear coat and peeling and could use resurfacing. Kids enjoyed the burgers and fries, chicken ceaser wrap was good, wife raved about the fish tacos! Great place to go if on a boat and looking for a drink or meal.Kid-friendliness: Beach on property for kids to splash in lake“

“Our family’s first trip to Longhorn and they went above and beyond on the experience. Thank you to Angie for making our evening special as we came to celebrate our husband’s birthday. Our server Jamoni was so sweet. Excellent service all around!“

“The outdoor bar has plenty of seating but is close to other tables. I enjoyed that because it allowed me to socialize with others easily! The water view is an added bonus. Jersey Frank was the musician, and he played a wide variety of upbeat familiar songs. It was very enjoyable! On both visits, the food was good, but the service was top-notch!“

“Good place. Would have given 5 stars but getting in to the restaruant is painful. Its in a gated community. You have to insert drivers license in gate and maybe it will recongize it to open gate. Or maybe it wont and you have to wait for someone to come out and let you into the community. Not cheer's fault but does make me not want to go again“

“Shared a pleasant afternoon. Our server took great care of us. We went for the Sunday special, then my wife spotted the fish tacos at the next table. Our server told us upfront that burgers are cooked medium well. They still turned out juicy and flavorful. We will definitely be back mid week! Thank you for the consistent quality and service.“

“As fast food goes, compared to places like Wendy's, McDonald's etc, this is really good. We've been there a few times. The service is friendly and our orders are always accurate. They also do gluten free buns - Yay! - which are a great texture and not dried out like a lot of GF buns. We really enjoyed the burgers, fries and cheese curds. It's not "fast" food, so when you order they put a post it not on your side mirror with your number on it. Then you pull all the way forward and they bring your food out when it's ready. It's still pretty fast - I think we usually only wait about 5 minutes - definitely less than 10. They're also known for their frozen custard and treats but we haven't had a chance to try those out yet and they feature a special flavor every day which is on their sign out front. You can also see the flavor of the day and the upcoming ones on their website. We'll definitely go back.“

“Had a gyro here yesterday. It was fresh and flavorful. The tzatziki sauce was the best I've had in Florida, hands down.I've had several of the different burgers and they never disappoint.The strawberry fields salad is divine with the champagne dressing; I added grilled chicken to mine it was amazing!!The special events I've attended have also been lovely. My whole family came for the Thanksgiving feast. It was a beautiful spread with two meat carving stations as well as a full buffet of spectacular dishes.The appetizers are great here if you just want to come for Karaoke or Trivia Night. The staff are all welcoming and skilled. The bartenders also are top notch and serve up great personalities along with drinks and food.Dietary restrictions: Just let your server know, the kitchen staff is amazing.Parking: Lots of parking for cats and golf carts.Wheelchair accessibility: There's a wide ramp entrance and path from the marked parking spaces right into the front door.“

“The Bistro at the 19th Hole exceeded my expectations with its exceptional service and delectable cuisine. The staff was friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. Our server was knowledgeable, providing helpful insights into the menu. The food was a culinary delight, showcasing a commitment to quality ingredients and expert preparation. This bistro is a top choice for a memorable meal, and I'm eager to return for more culinary delights.“

“City fire is an absolute must visit. Our favorite city fire is the one in sumpter landing.... you have to get the SIZZLE CHIPS, they are to die for. They are kettle chips served on a HOT SKILLET then covered with crumbled blue cheese and caso added and smothered on top.... OH MY WHAT A TREAT!!“

“Thirteen of us went to dinner for my husband's birthday. Had a wonderful time. Everyone loved their food. Our waitress, Leslie was great. She was so attentive and took time to take pictures. It was a lovely evening. Thank you Evans Prairie for making my husband's birthday so special.“

“The food here is not bad. The hot god was a little salty. The chicken fingers were good. Had the onion rings which were very greasy. So much so my fingers were covered with grease. Very noisy inside. No found tables for big groups. Service Wes excellent. Entrance is in the back. If you want to park your cart in the back you may not get a spot. After golfers finish golfing they leave their carts in the back and go in for lunch.“

“Wolfgang Puck Brownwood was excellent. We have been many times and the food is consistently very good! We have had the grouper, halibut and pasta amongst many other dishes. Last night we had the special Mac n cheese which was amazing! We also had Alejandro for a waiter last night and he was by far the best server we have ever had!! The way he described the food made you want to try something you've never had. Also, his personality was amazing!! He enhanced the entire dining experience. definitely try to get Alejandro as your server if you go there!!“

“I bought breakfast for three of us. I was not really impressed with the food compared to other Cracker Barrel's and it took a very long time to get our food, especially since we did not order anything that should have taken that long and it was not that busy. The sausage was very dry and the hash brown casserole was not up to the usual CB standards. Our waitress was very nice! I am probably being generous giving 4 stars. I only gave 4 because our waitress was nice. Also got a nice cup in the store.“

“I recently tried Culver's for the first time, and my only regret is not having tried it sooner! The burgers and fries were excellent. Most burger places are either hit/miss. Their custard was also so tasty and creamy. The flavor of the day is a great idea. I like the concept and how they changed it. Overall, I recommend trying Culver's. They can sometimes be busy, but I don't mind waiting for good food“

“I came here twice this past week, the service was slow and took a while both times to get seen, my 2nd time I had to ask somebody if they forgot about us which, as a server myself felt weird but the food was 10/10 both timesI had bbq wings and a skillet cookie for dessert“

“Busy Valentine's Day, got late reservations. It's basically a local pizza place/italian restaurant in a strip mall. It's not very fancy! We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, and the service was good.Wheelchair accessibility: All on one level. Should be accessible.“

“I don't mind Denny's. They have plenty of options for a diner. Their burgers are hand pressed and juicy. Great omelettes. It's one of the places I go when I don't want to cook for 1.Wheelchair accessibility: There are tables available for wheelchair access and a sitting friend. Or, all of the chairs can be moved.“

“I love this place, I go there everyday to eat my dinner.Food is great, prices are reasonable, the servers are very friendly and courteous.My favorite cook is Julian, he's an awesome cook, I love his food so much, he really takes care of his customers.The servers Ashley, Jessica, David and Janice they're great and always make you feel like home and Israel great guy he keep that place impeccable clean.I really appreciate it guys, Thank you.“

“Super cool place, we get there by jt ski, docked up, cool lid back southern vibe. good live music, server was great, very attentive, food was great, bun was not fresh that was the only thing we didn't like, everything was great, next time I will tell them to toast the bun - LOL. Will definitely be back. Great looking menu.“

“What an amazing experience we just had at Darrell's Dog Gone Good Diner #11! We were just passing through the area and decided to stop for brunch. With only 2 servers in the building, we were sat fairly quickly, she brought us our menus and drinks quickly too even though I told her to take her time. I could see they were busy and it was only the two of them. I ordered 3 eggs basted with ham and a side of sausage links. The meal came with grits and a biscuit (got a side of sausage gravy with it) which I am bringing home. Most places don't know how to make basted eggs, well this was not like most places. I don't know where they get their eggs from but these were the best eggs I have ever eaten! I used every last piece of meat to scrape the egg up off the plate as to not leave a drop. Eggs were perfect, ham was cooked great and tasted amazing, and oh goodness the link sausage was thick, delicious, and cooked perfectly. My friend ordered the Waffle breakfast. She got her eggs over easy and also said they were cooked perfectly and delicious. Her bacon was on point and she said the waffle was one of the best she's ever had. We figured there would be a bit of a wait for the food to come out with how busy they were, and the kitchen staff even apologized if there was a wait on the food, but we thought it came out much quicker than we expected. I don't have one complaint! Everything was so amazing, I made sure to Thank the kitchen and wait staff for the entire experience. I love checking out new small restaurants, it is always where you get the best food and personal service. I will definitely be telling friends and family about this place and will 100% stop here again when driving across the state!!“
