Bonifay CC and flies

[buggyone]

Last evening, a group of us (8) went to Bonifay CC for dinner. We sat on the patio because there was not a table large enough inside that was available. We should have waited for an inside table.

I saw lots of flies on the side of the building as soon as we walked outside. We sat down at the table and there were flies buzzing around and on the table all during the meal.

The food was mediocre to fair. I had a "Chipolte-Lime Fish Wrap" that was supposed to be spicy. Very bland and in need of salt, pepper, and hot sauce. The waiter forgot my request for hot sauce.

The drink of the day were alcoholic iced teas for $2. Those are pretty good but not a real bargain even for $2. Very little drink in a glass crammed full of ice.

Back to the flies, I would think the management would spray an outdoor fogger a few times a day to get rid of the flies. It is so disgusting to have flies buzzing around you and the food while eating.

Would I return? Only for inside seating. The restaurant is very visual appealing and the service was good. Food was okay and it is always great to socialize with Village friends.

[missypie]

We were there last week. Really enjoyed sitting at the bar and trying the drink specials at $2.00 pd. Bartender Jack is the nicest guy. The flies at the bar area were just disgusting though. Since I am not a bug specialist I have no answers to this dilemma, but it really needs to be solved before we eat there again.

[graciegirl]

We had the same experience about the flies. Someone in our group even said they should use fly strips. Surely there is a better way to deter flies these days.

[Bogie Shooter]

Why not begin by discussing with management????

Posting on TOTV will not make the flies go away.

[LittleDog]

About 2 weeks ago the wife and I decided to eat outside. A big mistake. Flies bothered us the whole meal. However, what was strange the other tables outside didn't seem to be bothered by flies. It seemed we were the only ones out there that had flies.

[Joaniesmom]

I've never been there but wonder if anyone has investigated why the flies are there. Is someone dumping garbage or some other "fly food" in the area? The flies aren't there for the $2.00 drinks! lol!

[KathieI]

Had dinner there about a month or so ago, and mentioned to the waitress that the flies were awful and that we had the same fly problem at Havana when it first opened and they put citronella candles on all the tables and it helped. We said that management of Bonifay should consider something like that as well.

Apparently, they haven't done anything to correct that since then. Too bad, its a nice outside atmosphere but the flies were nasty.

[rubicon]

After read all of these posts I wish I could be a fly on the wall to see everyone's reactions.:1rotfl:

As for speaking with the manager based on the length of time and the number of files reported if there is anyone believes speaking to the manager would do any good then there is rec center in bonifay that I can sell you

there is a real problem there and i wonder if it has anything to do with that smelly monstrosity they are trying to cover over with foilage etc.

[Villageshooter]

When you have flies there is a reason. The powers that be know they have a problem. They have chosen not to do anything about it. Sometimes I just wonder how far up the family chain this has to go before that layer is in charge of fly control.

[Posh 08]

There will always be some bar flies :p

[buggyone]

Last evening I was there with a group of friends and I did not feel it was appropriate at the time to discuss the fly problem with a manager. I did send them an electronic message this morning.

What smelly monstrosity are they trying to cover with foilage? I am confused.????

[Skip2MySue]

We also went for dinner last night and asked for outside seating. The hostess took us to our table and before we sat down there were 3 flies on the table. We shooed them away but it certainly wasn't the atmosphere we were looking for to have a nice dinner. Asked hostess to move us inside because of the flies and she understood and agreed with us.......Had a great dinner inside but they really have to work on the fly situation. Shame on me for not bringing to the attention of the manager and I can only hope that the hostess pointed this problem out to him based on previous poster's complaints.

You dont think the manager knows about the flies? Im sure he does but does not care or is too busy to have the problem taken care of.

Rubicon, what is the smelly monstrosity covered with foliage to which you refer?

Thanks....

[elevatorman]

Asked the bar tender about it a few months ago and he said it was due to the dirt being turned over in recent months. They installed fans to help. Fly strips are not an option due to health regs. I would think that sprays of some kind could be used at night to discourage pests.

[golf2140]

Shower folks shower !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:crap2:

[thistrucksforyou]

Life must be pretty good when all you have to complain about is flies !

[skip0358]

The thing their talking about is the tank just behind the pro shop on the big hill. As for the flies they've put traps on the trees behind the bar. Fly tape can't be used for health reasons. As far as spraying during the day I don't think that would be exceptable either. I do belive they're spraying at night after closing. we were there Friday evening and the flies weren't that bad and the ice teas were very good.

[wendyquat]

Ugh, personally I don't want to look at a bunch of dead flies stuck to a glue strip while I'm eating. We have been eating there about once a week but was really disappointed with a "daily special" last Thursday. It was probably my fault. Their crab cakes on the regular menu says "lump crab meat" so I just assumed the special crab cake sandwich would also be lump. It was not! It was so bad I began to think it might be made of canned crab or even a salmon patty! We were on our way to Orlando airport and in a bit of a hurry so I just ate a couple of bites and let it go. I won't be ordering crab cakes there again!

[Joaniesmom]

This is starting to get interesting!! Hmmmmm! I didn't think those flies were there for the $2.00 drinks!

Good one, Posh! :loco:

[Bonny]

In case nobody has realized, it's fly season. Happens every year. Almost everywhere you go outside, there's flies. Some places get worse than others. It's just what happens when you eat in the great outdoors. LSL tends to get them worse probably because it's on the water. The establishments are not going to be able to get rid of them. Have an awesome day !! ;)

[hdh1470]

Same thing at Havana last night as soon as food came flies came also.Not much you can do about it.

[Taltarzac725]

Eating with a fly swatter would certainly send a message to the restaurant's management as well as to their other customers. Not sure that the restaurant would want you back though as a customer.

Bonny. You are right as usual. We had them on our open front porch last night as we tried to eat dessert. We have coffee and dessert out there all of the time and this is the first time we had flies.

I don't know why I hadn't thought of that. They are worse at certain times of the year and this is our first full year here in Lower Paradise.

Shoo! you ugly manure trotters.

[Bonny]

In Michigan we had a couple of weeks in July when we were bombarded with fish flies ! They were awful, especially by the water. They would get so bad they were all over the roads. Your car would literally be sliding all over.
It's called "nature". ;)

[mulligan]

How about a screen door on the bubble??

[karostay]

No restaurant no matter how well it's run. Or great the service and food are isn't complete till it's attack by the villages cry babies.If ya don't like it don' go.
They haven't been open long enough to all the bugs out. Give them a chance

[hdh1470]

Maybe they should hire you.You can tell all Country Clubs how to get rid of them.They all have them.Lopez sat had them as well as other we have been in last few wks.

[zcaveman]

Occasionally when we go out to eat, we get a fly at our table. We only eat inside because we like the comfort of the A/C. I try to explain to my wife that this is the fly that is assigned to our table. I did manage to kill the fly one time and many came to its funeral.

So not I just live with the occasional fly. :1rotfl:

We were there this weekend and sat at a booth near the front entrance door - Shared our salad with the flies - They should give you a fly swatter when you walk in - Too bad: nice place - please post when they figure out they have a problem -

[BarryRX]

Life must be pretty good when all you have to complain about is flies !
Life must be pretty good when all you have to do is complain about complainers! Sorry, but it always seems that someone is trying to trivialize someone else's problem. Flies all around while eating sounds like a legitimate problem.

At least you recognize that there are complainers~

[missypie]

This fly problem is real and not just an occasional fly. Let me just say that there have been a significant unusual amount of flies at Bonifay. When we were there in January it was chilly outside and the flies were there. This is a serious problem for a food establishment. One can make light of this problem, but Bonifay is such a beautiful place with tremendous potential I hate to see it tarnished by a fly issue.

[rubicon]

Well apparently they covered it since I was there last?

[asianthree]

i hate flys so let us know when they fix the problem

[karostay]

And when the love bugs come out..What then?
Who gets the blame?

[skip0358]

I can deal with the flies but when the love bugs were there I didn't like that at all.

[Lori4719]

We ate breakfast there this a.m. And wanted to sit outside but the table they tried to seat us at was full of flies and so we opted to sit inside. What a shame
, it was a nice morning & we would have loved to sit outside. Breakfast was great for the .$ .

[buggyone]

Love bugs are a seasonal thing that no one can control. Flies can be controlled. It is a shame Bonifay has not found a way to control them.

Have you tried sitting at their outdoor bar and enjoying one of their drink specialties? Impossible to enjoy with all the flies. It is such a nice location that I really hated going indoors but am not going to sit at the bar and have flies crawl on the rim of my glass.

[karostay]

Same thing a love bug does
Crawls everywhere

[skip0358]

I cover the top of my drink glass with a napkin between sips. I'm not sitting inside. I swatted one the other day and someone at the bar said hey don't do that. So I sit there with the flies. Like i said them I can deal with I hate love bug time.

What's with that? Saying not to swat a fly. I have family members who CARRY spiders outside.

I am a murderer. flies, ants, spiders. I KILL them.

[batman911]

Maybe someone should notify the Health Department. I believe insect infestations are one of the trip wires that will cause a food service business to be shut down until it is controlled.

[Bonny]

I would doubt if the Health Department would say anything about flies outside. They are all over. I've seen them at every restaurant in the Villages if I'm outside.

If the flys are outside Im sure they are in the kitchen, where the food is made. Ugh. Has anybody talked to who ever is in charge there? Did he or she come up with an answer?

[Joaniesmom]

I just checked Wikipedia to see if Lovebugs have predators and they don't have many. Here goes. "While lovebugs are not a favored food of most insectivores due to their acidic taste, lovebug larvae—and some adults—are food for birds such as quail and robins. Arthropod predators include spiders, some predatory insects such as earwigs and at least two species of beetle larvae, and a centipede.[6]" Apparently they are too acidic.

[buggyone]

I doubt if there are flies in the kitchen at Bonifay. There are not flies indoors but maybe a couple do come in now and then. Inside, the restaurant is very clean and enjoyable.

I did email the owner and got an answer. He claims that they do spray outside every morning and put poison fly bait (?) under the bushes and trees. He said he has tried every remedy he knows but nothing has helped and is just hoping that time will fix the problem.

I wonder why he has not taken this matter up with a professional exterminating company like Massey.

You received an email from the owner? Hit that reply button with your Massey suggestion, maybe he can tell you if he has or has not contacted a pro. He knows the answer better than anyone reading this forum.

We had bug/fruit fly problems when seated inside @ Cody's - very bothersome also - this is the only restaurant we've eaten at in the 2 weeks we've been here that's had this problem ... don't plan a return trip

If you go to Cody's, you should expect some small flying friends. The bar windows are wide open, and right on the water. That's the price you pay for an open air bar.

The Parrot Heads were at Mallory last night outside. There were flies there as well. They are all over the Villages. Hopefully they'll die down soon.

I understand that Massey is the go to company for pest control. I saw a lot of good things about them on here. Maby the owner should let the PROs do what they do best.

Your spot on,People are crazy thinking at this time of year you can stop this from happening.Maybe they should have Massey put a man at each Rest.with a swatter and bug spray.

[justjim]

In the Ozarks the last few days. Yep, they had flies too. I've read most of the posts regarding these flies in The Villages----some really make me chuckle! Are we all too old to remember going on a picnic? Folks, when you are "outside" and have food----there are flies and yes, they are worse certain time of the year. My mother use to say "if you don't bother them----they won't bother you! Dad always said, @#$%!#@ and being the oldest sibling I said "get over it Sis----they don't eat much."

[missypie]

Yes summer brings flies, but this ios more than just flies in summer. They really have a serious problem there. You have to be there to know what I'm talking about.

[Golfingnut]

as more folks move in, more and more pesticides will be used and will kill off the fly population.

[billlaur]

It will just be a matter of time when they decide to enclose the outside bar area..

[billlaur]

Also I was there on several occations ,over a 6 mos. period and flies were still there,so its not cyclical just permanant..

[hdh1470]

Even had them at Palmer Friday ,Maybe we should put a tent over all of T.V. and bomb the place.Fla.Has bugs always has and will.If anyone can up with a safe way to get rid of them you will be a rich person.

[Posh 08]

Plenty of flies in rural Virginia too. Especially when the wind is off the pasture. :yuck:

Went to breakfast buffet yesterday morning; sat outside and no flies ...

None of the Country Club patios are enclosed. They all have flies. That's what happens when nature says it's fly season.

[Skip2MySue]

It will just be a matter of time when they decide to enclose the outside bar area..

We stopped for a cocktail at the outside bar and chatted with the bartender who had in his hands and electric fly swatter. We only stayed for one drink as the flies won another battle. The bartender mentioned that the management had gone to the powers requesting permission to screen in the outside area and the plan was rejected twice. As I'm keeping count it looks like the flies won another battle there too.:ohdear:

We were there too but later in the morning around 10:30 and as we waited for a table inside we watched the people eating outside in the covered area swatting away the flies. Either that or they were just waving to people at other tables, you know what a friendly place this is:1rotfl:

Is there any possibility the landfill, that nobody wants to talk about, has something to do with this?

That's what I've been thinking. Just wondering if the odor that was emanating from this area a while ago has anything to do with the flies? That still doesn't explain the developer's refusal to allow the outside patio to be screened.

[theapeman1]

Last evening, a group of us (8) went to Bonifay CC for dinner. We sat on the patio because there was not a table large enough inside that was available. We should have waited for an inside table.

I saw lots of flies on the side of the building as soon as we walked outside. We sat down at the table and there were flies buzzing around and on the table all during the meal.

The food was mediocre to fair. I had a "Chipolte-Lime Fish Wrap" that was supposed to be spicy. Very bland and in need of salt, pepper, and hot sauce. The waiter forgot my request for hot sauce.

The drink of the day were alcoholic iced teas for $2. Those are pretty good but not a real bargain even for $2. Very little drink in a glass crammed full of ice.



If the food was mediocre to fair, I agree, what makes you feel it would be better if you ate it inside where there are fewer flies.
Back to the flies, I would think the management would spray an outdoor fogger a few times a day to get rid of the flies. It is so disgusting to have flies buzzing around you and the food while eating.

Would I return? Only for inside seating. The restaurant is very visual appealing and the service was good. Food was okay and it is always great to socialize with Village friends.

If the food was mediocre to fair outside, wouldn't you expect it would be the same inside?

[mrfixit]

.
.....I am NOT the brightest knife in the drawer.......BUT...

If you can keep a secret...Read Below.

Hang baggies around the area...filled with plain water.Number of units correlates to intensity of problem.....
..we use ...1 with plain water...
................1 with pieces of tin foil added.
................1 with a penny in the bag
Have NO idea why it works....but it has worked for many years....no flies or hornets.

Is there any possibility the landfill, that nobody wants to talk about, has something to do with this?

. if you are referring to the landfill EAST of the Fire station at Morse and Pinellas...
That one accepts only construction debris......no rubbish.

That is what made the the BIG side hill behind the Fire station.

I wonder if that slope will become a future golf course?

[buggyone]

If the food was mediocre to fair outside, wouldn't you expect it would be the same inside?

As I said, the food was only mediocre to fair but was okay. Yes, it would be the same food inside the restaurant - but no flies!

The inside decor of Bonifay CC is very nice and "beachy". I would eat "just okay" food gladly in a nice looking restaurant just to be out and socialize with good friends. The food being "just okay" does not take away from the pleasure of being around good friends as long as everyone is having a good time.

I have been to Bonifay many, many times with friends, both inside and out. Earlier in the year the mosquitos chased us inside, but we were fine. The food is mediocre most of the time, but the atmosphere is fabulous. I did find one thing on the menu that I could order and be happy with so I just order that every time we go!

[tpop1]

Why not begin by discussing with management????

Posting on TOTV will not make the flies go away.

In general:

Good management would have / should have corrected the issue by now - without customers having to say anything to Management.

Bad management often won't take action or listen to customer concerns.

[Saxprof]

Not sure what the fuss is, Bonifay seemed above average to us! Price was right, and we loved the food... Yes, we ate outside both times during our TV site visit (we bought lot south of 466a and west of Buena Vista)... and yes, we saw some flies but they did not spoil the experience or views of the beautiful golf course from our front row seats!
We'll be back in TV soon, and back to Bonifay for breakfast!

[billlaur]

maybe ur a magnant

[Finallyfree]

Ask to be seated under a fan if you eat outside. Have you ever noticed the breeze from the fan keeps the flies away. It is the tables without a fan that have the problem.

[JackieandBobHall]

We sat outside a month or so ago--yes there were lots of flies. We mentioned it to the bartender and she assured us, they are trying EVERYTHING they can to get rid of the flies--from professional to home remedies such as flypaper and bowls of vinegar--and are open to any suggestions that may work. Net is, I'm sure management is well aware and trying to make the situation better! BTW, we have eaten inside several times and had great food (FL palm salad, burger, cheese-steak, etc) and service at Bonifay!

[IndianaTeachers]

We love the Breakfast Buffet -very enjoyable eating outside and the view is beautiful. Great service as well.

I totally empathize with your problem but wonder if it would be possible to put the offending critter in some kind of sling and throw it into next Thursday. Something like a soft slingshot? Just a thought. It might be fun?
