I must take exception with The Exception Magazine. First of all Wikipedia describes them as "The Exception Magazine is an online news magazine that covers Maine. It is headquartered in Portland, Maine." Why should I trust a magazine about Maine to tell me about the restaurants in The Villages?
My search for their reviews of restaurants in TV resulted in four different listings listed below in addition to the article noted in the quoted post. One of them begins with the statement "The Villages, Florida simply has the best grub joints in the country. Don’t believe us? They will cause chaos in your stomach because you will stuff yourself to sleep." That statement is absurd! All of the lists are fairly recent also based upon the restaurants listed.
We have lived in TV for just over six years and have eaten in over 270 different restaurants, many more than once, in that time. While we do enjoy many of the restaurants in TV, there are many, many options within a 90 minute drive and many are better than ANY of TV restaurants.
The Exception Magazine articles I found. There may be more:

Not to praise or criticize Carrabba's, but do they really fit into all four of these categories?
