Dollar for Value... best Restaurant?
 

Everyone likes a good meal out. In retirement though, the better places can be cost prohibitive. For casual dining out, can anyone recommend places with good food for the money?

We all had places back home, but here, where can folks find good food at bargain prices?

O'Shucks on 301

Red Sauce

Bob Evans, but booze isn't necessary for us to enjoy a casual meal. But even Bob Evans under new ownership have cut their menu. They still have good things and great servers.

I cook at home more and more. I am so sad that Cane Garden is under new management.

Francesco's in Summerfield

Many places before 4pm have great lunch prices and the same food ( maybe a little less) that they serve in the evening. Added bonus no waiting for a table. That's what we do and then just have something lite at home later...11 years now...works for us...

Cody’s at Lake Sumpter.

Cracker Barrel

Best Value Restaurant
 

Without a doubt it would be Wolfys. They have two locations, one in Ocala and one in Leesburg. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Very reasonably priced, daily specials, and lots of homemade style food.

Continental Country Club on 44 in Wildwood always has Specials like $3.47 pizza on Thursdays and 5.95 burger & Fries on Monday’s

Rae Rae's on 441 for breakfast or lunch.

Sam's St Johns Seafood across the street from the Walmart in Summerfield on 441. Good value and great Seafood like where we had our last home. Very reasonable and accommodating. Going earlier is better. It is good for when you wanna go to Bluefin but don't feel like making the ride. It's up towards the Hysterical Section. Two Thumbs Up!

Ay Jalisco in Spanish Springs

Arby's with coupons. :mmmm:

As you can see everyone has a different value system and judgement of good food.......go visit everyone's recommendations and start creating your own "go to" list.

Join Amici Club for Carrabba's, Bone Fish, Outback and Flemings coupons, rewards and emails for specials. Join email for Bonifay, Evans Prairie etc group for emails and specials. Sign up for emails for Lopez, Havana, Johnny Rockets, Ruby Tuesdays, TooJays Rewards. Lots of deals.

Sweet Tomatos (across the street from Sam's Club). Knock yourself out for less than 10 bucks. Huge salad bar, great soups, chili and chowder,, pasta & pizza plus dessert and soft drinks (BYOB under your jacket).

Totally agree. A generously-filled taco with the mexican version of beef stew in it, with cheese and the usual other toppings. Plus rice, and beans, all for under $7. The chips are delicious, but I recommend asking for an extra side of pico de gallo instead of their salsa, if you want to dip the chips. The salsa tastes kind of like spiced ketchup. The rest of it (including the chips themselves) was delicious.

The only problem is that they have never heard of taco sauce. I like the tacos at Taco Bell better.

Love that place. Now thanks to your tip I will love that place with wine!

Shhh! It's a secret
 

Koyami, lunch bargain, 6.95, bring coupon for $2 for 2 lunches in lifestyle sun on thursday. Please don't tell anyone, our secret, giggle.

Villager or Snowbird ????

Ay Jaliscos
 

We like to go to Ay Jaliscos and order off the sides menu. My husband always gets the Chimichanga side which fills up the entire plate. I believe it is between $4.50 and $5.00. When i don't order a chimi I get the taco salad for aout $7.00. I always ask for mild sauce because i do not like the regular stuff. :coolsmiley:

Ay Jaliscos
 

I never thought about ordering the pico de gallo! I will have to try it, They do have a cheese dip which is also very good.

Shell station in Colony for burgers and other things...like fried bologna, liver and onions, chicken fried steak sandwiches...

Theirs was a little different from how I make it, but it's delicious nonetheless! It's kind of hard to screw up pico :)
