Old TGIFriday's
 

Does anyone know what is going into the old TGIF? We sure do miss it. Hopefully it will have something different to what is already in the Villages

Yes, it will be something different. No decision yet on what kind of restaurant, but it should be open in February.

Thanks Bonny - gives us something to look forward to!

Vic Embers would be nice.

A Harry's Seafood would really be nice.

hopefully it will be one that knows and undestands the very simple rules of restruant survival/success.

Yes, they have a lot of restaurant experience.

from a couple of former employees that are at eaton's beach, including an ex manager, told us that it is going to be a brazilian style steak house.

Now that is another reason to consider moving to The Villages!!!

Yummy :)

I heard the same thing from Eaton's Beach.

i think we're gonna need a bigger plate.

I don't think that's happening. We'll see what they end up deciding on.

Bonny...You seem to have knowledge that you're holding back. C'mon. Fess up. Inquiring minds want to know!

I heard it was the owners of Evans Prairie, Bonifay, and Scoople that were going to open it as a steak restaurant but with the great steaks at Cody's and The Japanese Steak House I am surprised that the Villages would allow another steak place...we shall see.

I second the motion on Harry's Seafood to give Bonefish some competition but this comment wouldn't probably move Harry's or our management. For us driving to Ocala is too far having become too lazy to drive beyond Village proper.

Another Seafood restaurant would be nice. I think Bonefish is over-rated. Oops---did I say something negative?

justjim - you are right about Bonefish but where else for Seafood would you go?

Sam St Johns!!

Yes, it's the owners of Evan's Prairie, Bonifay & Scooples. A steakhouse isn't something they are looking at. Whatever it is, I'm sure will be great.

I would really doubt if a Brazillian style steakhouse would attempt a place here. They usually cost around $40 or more for the dinner and Villagers (main customers for a restaurant here) do not like paying that much - or eating that much. Those places do not provide boxes for leftovers, either!

on lake weir, google eaton's beach.

Yummy for sure but this type of eatery will be pricey, not the type of place one will be able to frequent often.
And the brazilian steakhouses i have seen that are on the less expensive side, are usually not worth it.
Let's cross our fingers and hope this one will be decent and gooood.....

Not sure how Eaton's got in this post...Food at Eaton's is very good however service is hit and miss. Drinks are overpriced. If you go, try the gumbo...it is to die for!

I sure could go for a Joe's Crab Shack! Am sure that would be a big hit at Lake Sumter Landing.

Sure would love to see something new other than what we already have. A Joe's crab shack would fill that bill .... even Captain D's for that matter. Even better would be a White Castle!!!

You can forget about all the other chains. Ain't gonna happen. Already has owners.

nEW RESTAURANT
 

how are you getting this info bonnie?

The owners.

We went this past Saturday night. Arrived at 5:15 - food was in front of us at 7:10. Food wasn't bad, but not good enough to wait 2 hours.

A third Mojos would be the best! Save plenty of people the drive.

Amazing - 30 responses and nobody has yet to mention -- HOOTERS!!

Best wings anyplace.

Z

Wings?

tilted kilt! lots of skin,,, not as trashy as hooters!

I would love to see a Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen

no hooters; i would never set foot in a place that has a name like that.

You have something against owls?

I agree that a Mojos would be great .... but their is already 3 ... 2 in Ocala and 1 in Belleview.

Twin Peaks would be nice, or Buffalo Wild Wings

Is Twin Peaks another name for Hooters?

There's only one in Ocala on 17th now. With the way they are growing, they could easily handle the business. Best food in the area, hands down.
