I'm just sneaking in from lurkdom to say my husband and I started a list of all the best food/best bargains in the Villages and we pay close attention to the posters' suggestions on your forum. Since we bought our home in Pennecamp, we've been blown away by the number of restaurant bargains here.
Let's see Red Sauce meals for two for $15, Bonefish Grills' Bang/Bang shrimp on Wed., etc.
We have a First Watch in Faifax, VA that has incredible food at very good prices, so I was excited to hear they have one in the Villages. It's sometimes crowded though. We like Toujay's too.
We have five more 2/3 week trips down before we can live here permanently.
In the meantime, I'll keep making my lists of where to eat out, fun clubs and travel bargains.
