Bonifay breakfast

[LittleDog]

I wonder whether anyone here has tried the Bonifay breakfast buffet that was advertised in the paper last week? I'd like another breakfast option in the southern end of the Villages.

The breakfast buffet was not very good. You wait in a long line for an omelet to be made, then stand in another line for the rest of the choices. No toast, English muffins, etc. available for your eggs. They should stick to a menu.

....we went this morning around 9 a.m. No lines and food was great. We did notice that by 9:30 lots of folks were coming in and it started to get crowded.

Went Saturday morning around 9, no lines. Had made to order omelette that was very good. Other selections were all good. Agree some toast would have been nice.
The price is right.

We were there Sunday, not bad, sat at the bar with no wait. We did see the waitress bring toast to a table, don't know if it was charged extra. My only complaint is with the homogenized packaged eggs. I've been to buffet's where they used fresh eggs for the omelet's, big difference for me but I guess they would have to add a few cents to the price for that.

Anyone know of a breakfast buffet in the Villages using fresh eggs??

Isn't it $5.99 for breakfast

Yes

[LittleDog]

When do they open?

[bjf347]

Yes, and we were happy with it. Made to order omelets, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, French toast, biscuits, grits, and fresh fruit. No waffles or pancakes, but food was hot. Good for the $5.99 price, plus $1.99 for coffee.

Not only is their Breakfast buffet lousy, but so is their Dinner food
My wife ordered a well done filet and it was raw. I ordered a meal that was listed to come with gralic rice and got potatoes.

We went to breakfast at Bonifay yesterday. It was good! Only $5.99, hours are 7 to 11. No wait and we sat out on the patio. Coffee was not so good. The waitress was great! We will definitely go back!

Thinking we will just have breakfast in our kitchen it fast. good ,:highfive:and cheap

[johndamelio]

Been there twice in the past week after golf.
It was very good. Plenty of good tasting food ( buffet ) , nice variety , good coffee , good service. And cheap too !
We need more breakfast places like this in the south Villages.

[rubicon]

I had breakfast after golf the firs week it was offered. I thought the breakfast was good.

[david mccosker]

We thought that the buffet was about equal with a Dennys buffet.

[Shimpy]

Not Impressed. I asked the guy cooking omlets if he had Egg Beaters and he couldn't understand english. The buffet was very limited, but got to say the potatoes were excellent if you like garlic which I do. $5.99 for breakfast + $1.99 for coffee puts the cost near $8.00. Quite higher than Katie Bells, Athens, and Sonrise Cafe, our favorites inside The Villages.

Great omelettes (he certainly does speak and understand English) and breakfast buffet. We do not have comperable breakfast restaurants in the South except for Havana (which few bother to patronize).

I agree we need breakfast places in the South. I disagree about understanding english. I asked him for Egg Beaters and he said "OK" then scooped out the same eggs that everyone else got out of the pot to make my omlet.
I'm hoping Brownwood will have several breakfast restaurants. Spanish Springs has several, and LSL has only Two Jays and Johnny Rockets if you want eggs, potatoes, etc.

Went to Bonifay for breakfast this morning and stood on the omlette line waiting to order 2 fried eggs as I did 2 weeks ago (not fond of scrambled).
No longer allowed to cook fried eggs.
Why I asked the manager?
Too many people were ordering them. ??

Amazing. What it probably is, is that when they make omlets they scope out the liquid eggs that they probably buy in gallons cheap. Your fried eggs made them crack individual eggs that cost them more.

Tried the breakfast buffet today and enjoyed it. The best grits I've had since we left Georgia.

I have been to Bonifay for the breakfast buffet a number of times and have enjoyed it every time. A delicious made to order omelette, biscuits and gravy, and cheesy grits which are outstanding!!! Then, to ease my conscience, I have some fresh strawberry's and honeydew melon. Total with coffee and tax comes to $8.50. I usually eat outside and just love the view of the practice putting green and the rest of the course.

[midwest1]

Can you order from menu?

[DearPrudence]

I'm serving at Bonifay and yes, its $5.99 only. Breakfast is served 7:30 to 11 and is excellent. Of course the service (me, lol) is great too :-)

[Rebel Pirate]

Any restaurant that offers a good value will draw more customers. Any buffet with more than one person presents the possibility of standing in line. Wife and I went to Bonifay for their breakfast buffet (arrived only half hour before they shut down the buffet) with low expectations but we were pleasantly surprised. The buffet offerings were great, the food was hot, and there were few people in line. They earned good marks from our visit!

[traveler9]

Great bargain . Omelet station and variety of foods. Everything tastes great!!Go early or you could wait!

[travelguy]

even though they raised the price to 6.99 it is still the best breakfast around. and what a pleasant atmosphere on the porch overlooking the golf course.

That's $6.99 plus $2.00 for coffee. That's double what you pay at Katie Bells and Athens.

9.00 for breakfast ? and this is suppose to be a deal ? :icon_bored:

Sitting in Wisconsin on a cool fall day I love reading the complaints about a cheap breakfast in paradise. We have been to Bonifay several times for breakfast lunch and dinner and each time we were not disappointed.. When our house is finished in Mid- November we will probably be regulars there (knowing to get breakfast early.) I say to complainers - if you don't like what you see change your expectations or stay home and cook for yourself! You will never be disappointed! When we finally to move there permanently in a couple of years, I know we will never complain about anything!!! It's just breakfast!

I'm beginning to believe some posters report negative experiences at their favorite dining facility just to keep the lines short.

It's a fine balance between lines so short that the restaurant goes out of business and just short enough to keep them in business but not keep us waiting too long. It's like raving to the restaurant about how good their food is. Do it enough and they'll raise their prices figuring you like their food so much you'll still keep coming back.
