If you’re in the south end Reveille is certainly the place to go.

First Watch and Keke's are both chain restaurants. So so menu, and high prices. Check out Grandma's Diner. It's on the north end of The Villages on 441 near Marion Market. Great breakfast!

if youre a potatoes guy, Billys has outstanding up north home fried potatoes. Reveille has tater tots.. Darrels is in between, with ok chunky potatoes. Darrels also has hash browns, not as good as WaffleHouse (you have to go a ways to find one), but again ok. For basic eggs meat potatoes, not considering distance, Billys and Darrels are good and affordable. Reveille has some foo foo items, similar to First Watch, which is way overpriced for my basic breakfast taste. nearby, but outside the bubble, The Train Station and Wolfies in Leesburg are both credible. All IMO obviously

First Watch is good if you are looking for unusual breakfasts. High price, though. Billy's has great potatoes and serves a ton of them, but their eggs are tiny. Rae Rae's on 441 between 466 466A is excellent, and they will put your name on a list if you call when leaving the house.

I have been way tooooo many times to Reveille and each time the food and the service blows my socks off.
The fresh squeezed orange juice is soooooo tasty you will think it’s fake- but you can see the big squeezer they use and it’s fun to watch the machine work!!
The cinnamon swirl cakes (pancakes) are ORGASMIC!! They taste like they took the best cinnamon but with lots of gooey icing and smashed it down and topped in with more gooey icing - but light and fluffy!!!
The MYSTIC stuffed French toast is INDESCRIBABLY delicious as well.
Oh and the cheesy grits!!! YUMMY FOR MY TUMMY!!!
Actually, everything I have tried as been great and the prices are actually pretty cheap considering how good the food is. Cheap and excellent food and service is hard to find in The Villages or anywhere these days.
Reveille is open 7AM-2PM- so they serve breakfast and lunch. There can be a long line but it moves fast usually not more than 5 or 10 minutes, and totally worth the wait.
WORTH THE DRIVE FROM ANYWHERE YOU ARE!!! Plus sooo many cool, beautiful and fun things down here, below 44.

Their omelets are awesome as is their toast and potatoes.

Hey Pugmom, have you ever been to the Cracker Barrel (CB) opposite Lowes on 27/441. They, like the the CB in Gainesville, serve little bottles of real maple syrup with their pancakes and French toast.

We enjoyed the elegant breakfast buffet served at the Brownwood Hotel and Spa this morning. They serve until 11:00. You can order continental $14 or full breakfast $22. There is a chef to cook eggs and omelettes to order, beautiful fruit buffet and extras. Yes, expensive but there are occasions that you wish to celebrate with a special meal. The weak point were the breads which were packaged. The setting is pretty in a dining room next to the pool.

I suspect your post is really going to result in quite a list...LOL. Everyone has their own idea of a "breakfast place", for sure ! From "truck stop" style (not fancy just pile it high", to some places that have some great recipes of their own (like KeKe's pancake batter... with the slightly vanilla taste).
My absolute favorite has not opened yet, Another Broken Egg. First ate there at the insistence of friends who practically DEMANDED we not leave Charleston without eating there. Don't think it had spread so much as a franchise back then, but sure looking forward to the one scheduled for Brownwood.

That's FOR SURE ! ! ! Broke my heart (boo hoo) when even the "upscale" cruise lines began using that colored corn syrup too ! I now take my own... yep, the strange old lady takes her small bottle with her for breakfast out and on vacations. But I still remember when Cracker Barrel was only in Tennessee and ONLY served real maple syrup in individual bottles. Oh how times change right ?

Unfortunately, Evans Prairie stopped serving breakfast several years ago. So that’s no longer an option.

It depends on what you mean by "best." Some folks consider a McDonald sausage egg and cheese mcmuffin to be the best fast-food breakfast sandwich. And some of us wouldn't eat one of those no matter who made it.
Some folks consider "good" to be smoked salmon, caviar, and goat cheese on toast tips. Others prefer a good old fashioned 2 eggs over easy, homefries, bacon, and white toast with butter and jelly. Some prefer theirs with grits on the side.
For "good" in my opinion - there's nothing. A decent breakfast would be the Williamsburg on a toasted garlic bagel from Brooklyn Bagels on 441. That's lox, cream cheese, raw onion, add capers for an extra fee.
Second best, for me, would be 1 egg scrambled well done, grill-top homefries also well done, 2-4 slices of hickory-smoked bacon grilled, not fried or microwaved, rye toast with real actual butter - not margarine. Darrell's is pretty good - though they always screw up the toast. Either burnt edges, or with a big nasty slab of margarine just sitting there congealed on the second slice, or both.

Darrel's whips their eggs in a blender for their omelettes. So delicious and different!
Really? They blend the eggs?! No wonder they're so fluffy.

Well, you have a variety of choices by now! I like Darrell’s Diner and First Watch, but for my money the best is Glenview CC for the weekend buffet. Prime Rib, eggs Benedict, fresh fruit, biscuits and gravy and everything else you can think of including bottomless mimosas for $19.99.

Just a hole in the wall but check out Todd and Shelly’s in, we’ll don’t know what town it’s in just go north on 301 and turn left on SE Abshier for about 1/2 mile on the right. I know it doesn’t look like much but you will love it.
