Since you didn't say what village you live and you don't have it in your header, I find it depends on your village's location. How far are you willing to drive for a fast food restaurant, that might determine how many there are for you.

I will drive to SS area for KFC, and only KFC which is about ten miles from my home about every two weeks or so. I can get fried chicken at Publix a mile away, but KFCs mashed potatoes with gravy and cole slaw are best. We usually try to tie it into another stop on that side of town if we can.

Otherwise, since I live in the southern area near 466A and Buena Vista we are very close to the new Trailwinds Village, an all commercial development that's been built on the edge of TV in the past three years. Jersey Mike's, Wendy's, Taco Bell and Burger King have all opened there in the past two years. I'm addicted to Jersey Mike's ever since they opened with their first location in front target about 8 years ago, now I have one about a mile from my home. Wendy's I love their chili, and I like Tacos, so that's my main fast food roundup. About three miles east on 466A at Colony we have McDonalds, and I do like Egg McMuffins and sometimes their pancakes, so pretty much my fast food addictions.

I don't know what you consider higher-end restaurants. We never eat at the country clubs. We do eat lunch out several days a week, almost never eat dinner out. My favorite is the lunch sirloin at Outback for $12.99, it comes with a baked potato, which I get with just butter, and a side salad and they have the best dressing that is not available anywhere else. It's called Tangy Tomato, it's like Catalina with hot sauce added, I love it. Also you get the pumpernickel loaf of bread and butter just after your order. To me, there is nothing at the fancy restaurants that I would rather have. If want prime rib, Outback has it after 3pm.
