Default The Villages Price Pressure.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone...Have a great day!

It's long been my opinion that restaurants here are under extreme price pressure and therefore:
  • Have to employ cooks not chefs,
  • Have to price entrees at @ $12.95 as opposed to $18.95 to $22.95 as in city restaurants,
  • Have to by low quality product to compete at this price point, and
  • Have to have low cost Happy Hours where people drink don''t eat.

Just have to pick your spots, watch for the good reviews such as Mezza Luna & Little Joey's etc. Going to restaurants that charge a little more may = better quality.

I've grown old with good food , at home and in quality restaurants, & will never settle for lowering my expectations ... I worked too hard thru my life for my money!

Enjoy those places you like and avoid the others.
