A few choices...
We occasionally meet our old neighbors from Wesley Chapel 1/2 way at a restaurant called Papa Joe's (Italian) in Brooksville. Good food, right off I-75 so it is easy access. Not fancy by any means but a decent place at the 1/2 way mark. It is roughly about 35 minutes south from The Villages. Google Papa Joe's in Brooksville. Also, if you want to go a little more south on I-75, there are some restaurants in the Wiregrass Mall in Wesley Chapel. That will be about an hour from The Villages but depending where your friend is staying in Tampa, could be about 1/2 way. There is Cantina Laredo (Mexican), GrillSmith, and Pagelli's (Italian) at the mall. Hope this helped.
