I would consider Chili’s and Applebee’s chain restaurants, but not fast food restaurants. The menus and prices are pretty much the same as elsewhere. Some places the food needs to be a bit higher because the site lease is extra expensive, but in general, you are getting a fair deal. There are plenty of fast food chain restaurants on the outskirts of The Villages, but you won’t find the long strips of them that you find in many cities. The Villages is a big area—many square miles—and the restaurants are spaced out in a number of areas on the outskirts. There are also some nice restaurants in the town squares, but not places like McDonald’s. The Villages is much better designed and more genteel. One of the things I love about The Villages is that even the shopping areas are attractive, and fast food restaurants are less of an eyesore. It can take awhile to find all these restaurants, and you may need to drive several miles.
